First-Person Smartass	comment	So it turns out we need to have an article about the First-Person Smartass, and now I have to tell you everything about the type of narrator who's a first-person narrator (because you obviously didn't get that from the name) and describes events in the tone of a Deadpan Snarker. He does this since he knows that, contrary to the popular misconception, narration isn't about, y’know, letting the reader in on the plot; it's about sharing with them every remotely entertaining half-of-a-train of thought you have. This guy sometimes shows up in the Private Eye Monologue sort of work, but Urban Fantasy is where you really can't turn a corner without bumping into a dozen of them. If you want to find one, just cast a fireball in some otherwise normal city and before you're halfway done, some wannabe-protagonist will jump at you from behind a corner and start throwing pithy remarks at you about how you're being cliché and violating the laws of thermodynamics or some shit like that. Well, fine, that's... hyperbole, I suppose... but you have to admit the guy is an awfully convenient proxy to have around if you're a clever author who wants to show the world how clever you are. Not to mention he can also function as an Audience Surrogate, incorporating and defusing a reader's skepticism with endless Lampshade Hanging of whatever bits of the story don't make sense. You can almost feel the enormous weight of the entire story's Willing Suspension of Disbelief crushing this poor bastard’s shoulders. You can expect this guy to be intellectual and well-acquainted with pop culture (or at least works with which the author is familiar), so he can make all the right clever references at the right time. Naturally, this won't prevent them from being described as uneducated, bad at school, or just plain Book Dumb; these traits are apparently all the fucking rage for Audience Surrogates nowadays as people can't identify with someone who might possibly be a better person than they are. Unfortunately the character may end up being too smart, because the writer is afraid of looking stupid. In the case of Fan Fiction, a character of only moderate intelligence may end up being given uncharacteristically intelligent thoughts, and leaving the readers with a sense of OOC-ness. Anyways, the Trope Namer was a review of Steven Brust's Dragaera series by The Library of Babel. And of course you're going to click that, because the "click hither and educate thyself" tone of that sentence just screams "fun." Compare Lemony Narrator. Or don’t, I don’t care how lazy you are. ... I don’t like my job.

First-Person Smartass / int_2162a284	comment	MS Paint Adventures straddles this and Lemony Narrator — the adventures are told in second person and usually clearly from a certain character's point of view, but sometimes come across more of an omniscient narrator, particularly when they Break The Fourth Wall. And either way, it is inevitably very sarcastic. Due to being the longest of the stories, Homestuck in particular has perfected the Second-Person Smartass. Occasionally, though, the narration bleeds over into what they're actually saying. The Homestuck Epilogues makes this more literal in the Meat route, where it's revealed that Dirk, having become the narrator, is making all those smartass comments for everyone.

His extremely dysfunctional household and Abusive Parents have broken him down to the point where he can only discuss these things with sarcasm and cracking jokes. His smart-ass nature of telling the story is a reflection of what his lifetime of abuse has done to him, growing numb to the horror around him. Roman Torchwick is naturally a Deadpan Snarker and he narrates his own story, Roman's Empire, with heavy amounts of condescending sarcasm.

Expect dozens of bad jokes and pop culture references per book. A lot of it is the fact that he's also a Stepford Snarker with a heck of a lot of angst, as well as being a defense mechanism against various supernatural monsters (as he explains, you never show weakness or fear to predators unless you want them to attack you). Thomas Raith, the narrator and protagonist of the Dresdenverse story Backup, proves equal to his brother Harry in terms of interspersing action and sass. John Marcone narrates the story Even Hand, and intersperses ruthless pragmatism with very dry snark. For example, after a monster blows open his door: Molly narrates the story Bombshells and follows her mentor's example by being fairly snarky, though not as much as Dresden, Thomas or Marcone.

First-Person Smartass / int_9d7c8202	comment	Servant × Service: Local Shrinking Violet Saya, surprisingly and sporadically, but very fitting with her Brutal Honesty. Kanon also tends to snark a lot in her head regarding some weird situations she gets into, such as Miyoshi's Brutal Honesty, Hasebe's slacking habits, Chihaya's strange personality, and Lucy's tight control of her salary, as well as the Ichimiya siblings' shared obliviousness (Taishi to the true reason Touko visits his place, and Touko to the fact that the bunny in the office is her father's avatar and the true nature of her brother and Chihaya's relationship).

Most characters do so simply in an informational manner, (although there are occasional hints of Unreliable Narrator, Half Truths, exaggerating the glories of minor victories or sly hints at things that history is too polite to talk about) but the sections done by Stannis Baratheon are peppered with smart ass comments. (Which, considering the personality Stannis has, is rather ironic.) A few examples: Sandor Clegane gets one or two in his own segment.

He's more famous for not dying when he is killed in the anime adaptation, but in the game, his narration is remarkably sarcastic. This is made more obvious when you realize that despite the narrative shift from Rin in the prologue to Shirou in the actual game, the actual observations don't change at all. The only major change is the motivations of the narrator. Rin actually likes him because she senses this side of him, which is why she spends so much time making fun of him. Archer is what Shirou would be like if he stopped being polite.
