The fraternal twin of the [[Stepford Smiler]]. The Stepford Snarker has intense feelings of sadness, anger, numbness, or other negative emotions, but, for whatever reason, wants to hide these feelings from the people around them. However, unlike the Stepford Smiler, who hides these feelings by acting sweet and happy, the Stepford Snarker hides these feelings by [[Deadpan Snarker|being snarky]]. She often puts on an outward appearance of being very jaded and bitter (though some may maintain a brighter disposition when they are in a better mood, snarking only when upset), and makes sarcastic comments about everything and everybody, but those that are able to break her shell find that she is actually deeply hurt.

* ''[[Minimonsters]]'' has [[Sleepyhead|Lupo]]. His family is perhaps the poorest one in [[Quirky Town|Villa Susto]], to the point he has to often take care of his younger siblings. While he's usually [[Nice Guy|friendly]], he's also a [[Snark Knight]] to the extreme, with his quips becoming more hostile when offended by someone, usually his [[Fur Against Fang|vampire frenemy]] [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]] and [[Gang of Bullies|Morty's Gang]].

* [[The Avengers]] film has [[World of Snark|quite a lot of snarkers]], most of whom are garden variety [[Deadpan Snarker
