Sarcasm Failure is, to put it simply, when a character who you'd expect would be able to deliver an irreverent, sarcastic or deadpan comment on just about anything fails to do so because of the nature of the current situation. This trope can be Played for Drama — if the writers want to show that a situation is particularly dire, having the funny guy go completely serious is one way of showing that — or Played for Laughs, by having the character encounter a situation so completely, utterly, and patently absurd that he or she is rendered temporarily incapable of responding coherently. (Basically their Snark short-circuits.) Comedy versions may be reduced to gawking, stuttering, or incoherent babbling rage at the sheer idiocy of it all, a Beat, or just greet the situation with stunned incredulity, often lampshaded with some variation of "words fail me". Not to be confused with Sarcasm-Blind, Cannot Convey Sarcasm, nor with Insult Backfire, though an Insult Backfire may well take the form of a sarcastic insult that fails to be appreciated as such. Compare O.O.C. Is Serious Business, Flat "What", I Have Nothing to Say to That. Compare also Shoo Out the Clowns, when this is an indicator the entire story is taking a turn for the serious. Compare and contrast Dude, Not Funny!, the reaction when someone attempts to be funny about a situation everyone else sees as no laughing matter. |

A strange example of mostly dramatic but with a hint of bitter comedic aftertaste in GONE. PLAGUE has Diana at a loss of words when her boyfriend declares himself king and tells her to get the fuck off his island, thus breaking up with her. In the next book, after having a torturous birth aged fifteen in a hot, pitch dark mine she has this reaction when, just minutes after giving birth, she's ordered by Drake to just "Get up and walk." | |

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Fred Weasley is reduced to this after he sees that George's ear has been blown off. George, however, is not. Immediately lampshaded: On the other hand, when Fred dies, we can safely assume George doesn't start cracking jokes about it. Likewise, Mad Eye's death made the twins shut up. |

The World Ends with You. After Beat betrays the Reapers for Neku in the first day of the third week, Kariya and Uzuki warn him that "he's treading on thin ice". The character responds triumphantly that it couldn't possibly happen; Shibuya is too hot for there to be any ice for him to tread on. Despite both Neku and Kariya being prime Deadpan Snarkers, Sarcasm Failure immediately strikes everyone present. | |

Psych played this straight, then subverted it, when Shawn is targeted by a Serial Killer. Shawn quickly loses his snark as he was overwhelmed by the pressure. As the situation grows more dire, Shawn convinces Gus that he should joke around for both of them. Which Gus does, resulting in hilariously awkward and terrible prop comedy. Technically, it was subverted, then played straight. Shawn never lost his ability to crack jokes while crime-solving (in fact, he outright states that if he isn't able to joke, the bad guy wins) and that is why Gus starts behaving ridiculously. The trope is then played deadly straight later in the episode when the bad guy kidnaps Shawn's mom. Shawn also plays this trope out during the episode Gus Walks into a Bank, when Gus was in serious danger and Shawn couldn't be there with him. |

Dexter: The usually lecherous Masuka becomes stone serious when investigating the crime scene where a cop was attacked. It's actually used as a barometer of Masuka's mental wellbeing at times. Later that episode: Similarly, we get an impression of how gruesome a murder scene is when Dexter himself (a blood-spatter analyst who is also a serial killer who chops up his victims) gets nauseous at the sight of it. It's also a hint that the scene had been constructed specifically to remind him of his repressed memories regarding his mother's brutal murder. In Season 3, Masuka gets one of his articles published. He's very happy and proud about this and gives autographed copies of the journal to his co-workers who, we later learn, never bothered to read the article. Masuka's personality undergoes an abrupt change after this. When the officers ask him why, he tells them "You hurt my feelings." |

8-Bit Theater This happens to Black Mage a lot when he spends too long around Fighter or Red Mage. And notably, Fighter's mention of becoming the "Drownball" Champion reduced the omniscient wizard Sarda to muttering under his breath at the sheer absurdity of it. Ranger also briefly broke Sarda's stride — not that it saves him or anything — by threatening him with a one-man "dodecarrow storm" from four bows at once. "How are you holding those?" |

Black Jack Justice: Jack Justice and Trixie Dixon are masters of Snark-to-Snark Combat, with at least one episode dedicated to nothing but the two of them snarking at each other. The episode "Now Who's the Dummy" has the pair involved in a custody battle between ventriloquists, which ends up as a four-way argument between the ventriloquists and both of their dummies and results in things like one of the ventriloquists being talked down by his own puppet and the second puppet pulling a weapon on everyone. During this confrontation, the pair can only watch and, at best, lampshade the sheer absurdity of it all. | |

In the true-crime book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets (upon which Homicide: Life on the Street was based), one of the recurring observations is that homicide cops can be very, very snarky on crime scenes, as they have to deal with a great deal of unpleasantness in their day-to-day working lives and use wit as something of a defense mechanism. This, then, serves to make the discovery of the body of eight-year-old Latonya Kim Wallace and the investigation into the scene of the crime particularly powerful; it's simply noted that there's no jokes, no sarcastic comments, just a lot of grim and serious-faced cops doing their jobs. | |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: In "Carnage of Krell", the prospect of being executed on the orders of The Neidermeyer General Krell for an act of disobedience that saved the day causes the normally extremely sardonic Jesse to announce that he's "officially lost [his] sense of humour." | |

At the end of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Ronan has a variant of this — specifically, while during the entirety of the movie beforehand he's been an amazing Large Ham, he's left unable to come up with anything besides a flat "What are you doing?" when Star-Lord challenges him to a dance-off. | |

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker: The Joker spends most of the film quipping, laughing, and generally being his usual Monster Clown self (with a bit of anger on the side). The only scene that makes him drop it all is when Tim Drake shoots him dead. Joker also loses his smile and replaces it with indignant rage later in the movie when Terry says he never had a good joke and the only way he could ever make Batman laugh was over how pathetic he was. The clown flips out at this that even when he had temporarily turned the tables on Terry, he wasn't laughing, but snarling while taunting Terry. |

The Nostalgia Critic: This happens to the Critic a bit, at which point the Running Gag of him aborting the joke occurs. Thinking about this (perhaps a little too much) leads to wondering how often these are unintentional and put in during editing, vs. how many of these are pre-scripted. Fantastically done in the Bio-Dome review. In the Scooby-Doo (2002) commentary, after hearing Critic's improvised by Doug rant on how much he hates his job and his life, Rob can only emit a stunned "wow". Subverted in his review of North. After the line "Loosen his pants!", the Critic seems to be suffering from this... only for him to admit the problem is that he has too many responses. He then goes through "My Top Ten Jokes For This Scene". |

When Shallan Davar sees him, she realizes he's the same man who gave her some advice a few years ago, and greets him with a giant hug. Wit is speechless, possibly for the first time in hundreds of years. | |

In Fallout 3, during the very long and involved "Wasteland Survival Guide" quest chain, you can respond to questgiver Moira Brown in various ways, from snarky to straightforward to outright lying as she questions your experiences, all of which affect both the quality of the book she's writing and the perk you get at the end of the quest. But during the part where she asks you to irradiate yourself, if you go the extra mile and voluntarily get severe radiation poisoning, your character can't even muster the energy to be sarcastic. | |

In Sword Art Online Abridged, Kirito is a snarker par excellence, able to keep up the insults even when someone's trying to murder him, but even he has his limits. Episode 3 also contains an example that is Serious in-universe, funny out of it, as Sachi confides in Kirito that she's worried that her poor internet connection is going to get her and others killed. In Season Two, he enters Alfheim Online, and eventually learns that the entire Spriggan faction is comprised of fanboys imitating the "Hero of Aincrad"'s style and taking nearly every permutation of his Online Alias, led by "Kirito Prime." |

On The Colbert Report, Colbert can almost always find some way to swing a story and turn it into a crack — even if his character is cluelessly in earnest — but when the News International hacking scandal got to the part about tampering with the phone of murder victim Milly Dowler, which may have led to the deletion of her voicemail, in turn both impeding the investigation and causing her parents to believe she was still alive, it was apparently so unambiguously wrong that it reduced him to open-mouthed shock. | |

In one episode of Dad's Army, the platoon is covered in mud after saving Pike from a bog and are marching back into town when they spot Hodges (the local greengrocer/ARP Chief Warden and Captain Mainwaring's rival), Mainwaring mentions that he's probably got some "smart-alek remark" and tells the platoon to march smartly and just ignore him. Hodges is practically quivering with anticipation at being given such a prime opportunity to try and take the wind out of Mainwaring's sails, only for him not to think of anything to say as the platoon marches past un-snarked. The verger (who was with Hodges at the time) remarked that he looked like he was about to have a heart attack. | |

The satirical invent-silly-stories newspaper The Onion has found itself at a loss for words on more than one occasion. When Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected governor of California, The Onion wrote it up in their normal exaggerated satirical manner but with only true statements. Their first post-9/11 issue reads like this. Between calling the time of death on the cynical, snarky attitudes of the '90s, wishing eternal damnation on the terrorists, sharply criticizing the anti-Arab racism that sprung up after the attacks, and pointing out that a decade's worth of action movies had suddenly become Harsher in Hindsight, they struggled to find anything humorous to say... though you can't say they didn't try. Then there's the bar-the-quotes entirely accurate "Philippines Citizens Currently Watching Their Congressman Fight a Guy on TV". The increasingly outlandish 2016 Presidential campaign of Donald Trump caused a similar reaction. Starting on August 30, 2015, they announced that, from that point on, they would stop running satirical stories about Trump in favor of simply reporting exactly what he had said in his latest speech, debate performance, or campaign ad, as it would have precisely the same effect. For the better part of a year, they kept their word, with all their stories about Trump having an "oh my god, this madman could actually be our next President" tone. |

In the Red vs. Blue: The Chorus Trilogy episode "Fed vs. New", Felix fails to form any sort of quip or sarcastic response when Tucker reveals that he recorded and broadcasted all of Felix's Evil Gloating about how he and Locus manipulated both sides into going to war so that they would end up killing each other. Tucker even lampshades that, for once, Felix is speechless. It happens again in his Villainous Breakdown during the finale. | |

The Batman: The Animated Series episode "Almost Got 'Im" involves several members of Batman's Rogues Gallery telling each other stories of their most brilliant attempts to kill Batman that almost succeeded. Killer Croc's "brilliant plan" is so dumb, everyone else at the table can only stare dumbfounded at him, with The Joker's face frozen into this sort of "what-is-this-guy-even-doing-here" expression. For those of you who are curious, Killer Croc's "brilliant attempt" at trying to kill Batman was throwing a rock at him. | |

Mystery Science Theater 3000 would occasionally have this when something in a movie was bad enough to leave even Joel/Mike and the bots stunned. One example is on Monster a-Go Go, where a telephone is supposed to ring but rather than a ring being dubbed in, the sound is clearly just someone making a phone ringing noise with their mouth. Rather than any witty riffs, Mike just mutters "Unbelievable", while Tom Servo bursts out laughing. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, Sansa Stark desperately resorts to throwing courtesy and rote phrases up as defences against the jibes and snark aimed in her direction when she's left with no other recourse in King's Landing. It doesn't stop the abuse, but from Joffrey (trying to bait her) to Cersei (trying to verbally maul her) and Tyrion (trying to joke with her), it does make getting the effect they were wanting rather more difficult than anticipated, as it makes her appear just blind to it, while they come across as plainly and awkwardly rude to anybody else watching. This is the closest to victory she can get, poor thing. | |

Portal 2: GlaDOS is usually an unrelenting fountain of snark, and remains so as she finds out you sabotaged the turrets she tried to use to execute you. As soon as she tries to deploy her Neurotoxin only to find out you sabotaged that too (complete with Wheatley rolling down the tube instead), all she can offer is an uncharacteristically straightforward "I hate you so much". | |

Iji has the Scrambler, a Silliness Switch that either turns the game into a "Blind Idiot" Translation or makes the lines even crazier ("You promised me a pony... with missiles... I want a missile pony!"). However, near the end of the game, Asha tries to kill your Voice with an Internet Connection, Iji's brother Dan. When Iji finally kills Asha, she screams, "That's what you get, you bastard! That's what you get for trying to kill him!" Even with the Scrambler on, this line is almost untouched. | |

In Small Favor, Harry is unable to deliver any of his trademark snark when confronted by Queen Mab of the Winter Court, and for good reason: he's too damned scared to snark. This was later shown to be a good reaction: when he does start cracking jokes, it annoys her. And because it annoys her, she freezes the water in his eyes. He's reduced to whimpering in pain and crying Tears of Blood for a while. Harry generally goes light on the sarcasm around Nicodemus as well, for much the same reasons. Nicodemus is too much of a No-Nonsense Nemesis to get affected by it anyway. In Changes Harry, when he first sees Thomas, tells him "Congratulations. You're an uncle." Thomas's first reaction is to laugh, and say that in his vampire family, that just doesn't happen... and then he realizes that Harry is saying that he has a child. The realization leaves him completely unable to come up with a snappy response for several minutes. |

In Chapter 29 of Origin Story, Tony Stark, Alex Harris, and Natasha Romanov have what is effectively a strategy session while the two women are sitting topless, sunbathing next to the Black Panther's swimming pool. Stark not only doesn't ogle the naked women, he doesn't even comment on the fact that their naked breasts are on full display. This is especially notable because while all women in the Marvel Universe enjoy the Most Common Superpower, Alex Harris is a physical clone of Power Girl, and thus her Most Common Superpower is a bit more "most" than anyone in the Marvel Universe. The fact that he's not making tit jokes and eyeballing the boobies is a clue that he's seriously worried about the situation they are all in. | |

Legacy of Kain has a particularly amazing example. Throughout the multiple-game-long series, main character Kain has always spoken faux-Shakespeare dialogue, and he always mocks his opponents; he's the equivalent of the game universe's Dracula, and he's so powerful that in a normal series he'd be a Game-Breaker. However, when he sees the Elder God, a horrific Lovecraftian monster responsible for everything he's suffered in the series, his only response is a genuinely bewildered, "What in the hell?" It's a sign of how utterly overwhelming the truth is that even Kain can't come up with a good taunt. And just before that, you get to see one of the few times Kain genuinely smiles, because Moebius is there, and has no idea that Kain is about to kill him. Again. As one Fauxtivational Poster put it, "Kain is smiling. Run for your lives." |

Yami Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series is near-constantly snarky, but occasionally things are just too out-there even by his standards. When Dartz is recounting his tragic backstory about Atlantis, he matter-of-factly reveals that it fell "because of people turning into furries." The pharaoh, who was expecting an And Man Grew Proud moment, can only give a Flat "What" in response. Though a Serious moment turns up a short time later, when Dartz gives the pharaoh a "The Reason You Suck" Speech that he can't really refute, sending him into a Heroic BSoD. When Yugi is getting introduced at a tournament, Kaiba has the announcer also point out that Yugi canonically has the worst win-loss record of any Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonist, solely to be a prick. The pharaoh awkwardly asks if they can please just move along. |

CSI: Gil Grissom almost always makes some kind of quip at each murder scene that takes us into the credits. When he doesn't, it's an indication of how disturbing the murder is. Or just... weird. In the opening of the infamous "Fur & Loathing in Las Vegas", Grissom and Catherine come across a dead man in a furry costume; both of them perceived it to be a dead animal from afar. When seeing what it actually is, both are weirded out. Catherine looks to Grissom for the requisite one-liner, perceiving Grissom to not be weirded out by anything, but Grissom continues to look weirded out silently into the opening credits. Horatio in CSI: Miami does this also. One such example: when his old friend is blown up and instead of his usual quip he just stares at the smoldering house in horror. |

On QI, regular panelist Jimmy Carr makes ample use of his trademark Black Comedy and Crossing The Line Twice. However, in the episode "Gifts", the discussion of the system of American prison labor - effectively, as Stephen Fry puts it, a reinvention of slavery - leaves even Jimmy rather shocked. | |

Garrett from Thief is usually a prime Deadpan Snarker and has wry, or at least interested, insights into a lot of things you see during your missions and cutscenes. He usually shuts up during the more frightening areas of the game. The Shalebridge Cradle from the third is especially notable: Garrett speaks exactly two lines during the entire mission, and both of them are more to the effect of Oh, Crap!. | |

South Park's "How to Eat with your Butt" had Eric Cartman believe that he'd "blown a funny fuse" when his prank goes horribly right and the parents of a butt-faced child (themselves having butts for faces) show up in the hope of finding him. Kyle thinks it's more Type A, and that Cartman is feeling genuinely remorseful but is such a sociopath that he doesn't recognize that emotion. | |

One of the routes you can take in Dragon Age II is to turn Hawke into a snarker who turns every situation into a joke, no matter how appropriate that may be. One mission in the second act involves someone stealing qunari gunpowder, except it's not gunpowder, it's a poison gas that makes non-Qunari go insane and kill each other. The elf responsible tries to make bombs to blow up a street to frame the Qunari, but instead winds up poisoning lots of people, and doesn't entirely see it as a setback. Upon learning this, Silly!Hawke's response is: There's also the quest in which Leandra is taken by a serial killer and Hawke has to follow a trail of her blood to find her. Every version of Hawke, be they The Paragon or a Deadpan Snarker or a Blood Knight, will sound horrified and panicky. Snarky!Hawke embraces this trope during that quest: |

Subverted in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Anya's irreverence comes out of genuine cluelessness, not an attempt to be funny. So when Buffy's mother dies, Anya behaves as normal, and infuriates the other characters. However, her explanation of why she isn't acting like any normal human with normal sensitivities would act (she's not a normal human, and she doesn't "understand... how this all happens... how we go through this...") is one of the most heartfelt of her character arc, and does follow this trope. One example of Xander playing this one for comedy (there are probably many others): in the Season 4 episode "Something Blue," Willow accidentally, and unbeknownst to the rest of the gang, casts a spell that makes Spike and Buffy fall in love and become engaged. As is Giles, who can usually be counted on for a dry remark. In the seventh season, as the cast falls once again into mocking Xander's dating habits, Giles rather sharply points out that they are fighting a war for their very survival. |

In Negima! Magister Negi Magi, Albireo Imma, the man with the perpetual Cheshire Cat Grin who never stopped acting with a strong whimsy, reached a point of utter horror as the (Magic) world was about to come to an end. Telepathically, Princess Arika made sure to tell him to stop being a defeatist fool. This was the only time he ever seemed without his usual joking demeanor (and with his eyes widened). Later on, Asakura was rendered completely speechless upon seeing several people get wiped from existence. |

Equal parts of both in Kingdom of Loathing, leaning towards the latter: whenever the horrific, nightmarish Guy Made Of Bees appears, the game's narration turns far straighter than it usually plays, aside from some Lampshade Hanging. In the later areas of the Sea, when discussing the hideous eldritch powers that have corrupted Mom and Dad Sea Monkey, the game is completely devoid of jokes. |

A gag-oriented version occurred on Penn & Teller: Bullshit! during the episode on fast food. When the issue of the "Soda Tax" was raised they cut to a scene of Teller fiddling with a wide array of props. Penn went on to explain that the two of them found the concept of taxing the sales of soft drinks made with government-subsidized ingredients so asinine they couldn't come up with a magic trick to adequately express it. | |

In Friends, Chandler gets a sarcasm overload when he sees Joey dressed as an elf. He also does this when he accidentally spills to Rachel that Ross is in love with her. He sputters "crystal duck" a couple of times and then descends into meaningless babble. And in a Throw It In! example: at one point Chandler mocks Joey's attire by saying "Donald Trump called and he wants his blue blazer black" (instead of "back"). Matthew Perry genuinely messed up the line, but the other actors took advantage of it and went with it, pointing out the mistake and making fun of snarky Chandler. (Monica: "No, no, you messed it up! You're stupid.") And at the end of "The One With Phoebe's Ex Partner", Chandler comes back from getting his nubbin removed. |

Also in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Beckett suffers a humorous form if you end up having a discussion on Kindred origins with him as a Malkavian. While the 'normal' player characters have theories he's already well-acquainted with, the Malkavian ones are a bit more... radical. When a discussing how to open the sarcophagus, Beckett says that he may know someone who is an expert on the field. You can respond with "That guy on the History Network with the pith helmet? He made learning fun." Which will make him answer with an uncharacteristical "Uhh... no." |
