This is the character who always has an infuriatingly smug expression on his face. He thinks he's better than you, and it shows. He may not be a Smug Snake entirely; either he's not a proper villain (just an annoying jerk), or he's only disdainful to certain people (mostly The Hero). See Also Smug Snake and Smug Super, for more villainous/heroic versions; that said, this trope doesn't necessarily not involve them. Villainous versions are usually denoted by Tsurime Eyes, more benign or heroic examples usually have Dreary Half-Lidded Eyes. Both versions are usually big users of the Fascinating Eyebrow. Compare Psychotic Smirk, Slasher Smile, DreamWorks Face, and Cheshire Cat Grin for much the same reaction. |

Miraculous Ladybug: This seems to be the default expression of many villains, especially Chloe, Lila and Hawk Moth. And in Lila's case, if people actually acted upon all of the times she did that damn smirk in front of them, her role in the Big Bad Duumvirate would be screwed. | |

Britta Perry from Community is mostly sympathetic and well-meaning, but she can get and look very, very smug whenever she gets on her self-righteous high-horse about something or starts lauding her supposed moral superiority over her friends. Which is often. Jeff Winger's is even worse; in keeping with the fact that he's an Amoral Attorney with an Inferiority Superiority Complex that manifests itself in a conviction that he's above everyone he's surrounded by, a smug, insufferably pleased-with-himself smirk that kind of makes you want to punch him is practically one of his default expressions. |

RWBY Neopolitan has an adorable grin that persists for all of the appearances she had in Season 2 (save for one Oh, Crap! moment). Said grin borders on mockery when Yang attempts to fight Neo one-on-one, with Neo wordlessly dodging and redirecting every single attack thrown at her and even finding the time to casually take a break in the middle of the fight. Yang is driven nuts by Neo's playful attitude, but at the same time just can't land a single hit on her opponent. Mercury Black usually has a sardonic grin that almost never seems to leave his face. He approaches almost any situation with a smile that borders on arrogance, because it's usually combat he's tasked with, and he knows almost no one can keep up with him. |

Dragon Ball: Goku himself, at his cockiest, he will give these kind of smiles. He gives one to King Piccolo after he throws him into a building and to his son, Piccolo Jr, after he waste a bunch of energy on a blast that barely harmed him. After he went Super Saiyan, this becomes his default smile to Frieza when he did smile. When he tells Vegeta up front that he is way stronger than him and he will need an entire year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber just to keep up, he gives Vegeta this smile. Cell. It's mostly done in his perfect form, but it's done a lot in his perfect form. Future Trunks from the beginning of the Android saga adopted this mode when dealing with Frieza and his father King Cold. Being that he spent the better part of his life fighting Androids more powerful than him in the Bad Future he came from, completely wiping the floor with and annihilating two utter monsters was therapeutic for him. He gets it from his father, Vegeta, who is one of the most arrogant characters in the entire Dragon Ball series. |

Supernatural: Angels (especially if they're bad angels) tend towards this expression, and it fits with how smug they often are and how malevolent they can be. Lucifer knows more than you the little hairless ape that you are, and shows it with that smirk which is practically his default facial expression. Zachariah. Comes with the corporate ooze he admits. Naomi, though she isn't on par with Zachariah. She surpasses him. One of the demon Meg's trademarks. She often does this when she is resorting to manipulative tactics or when she has gotten her way. |

The Mandalorian has two so far: Moff Gideon and Bo-Katan. The most noticeable example for the former happens in the final season of season 2 when Din obtains the Darksaber and he knows they will have to duel to the death for it. He only gets giddier when the Dark Troopers show up, though he quickly loses it when a Jedi shows up. As for the latter, she has a tendency to curl her mouth into a shit-eating grin whenever she speaks in an arrogant, condescending manner, which happens quite often. | |

Sans from Undertale, being a skeleton and all, sports one of these almost constantly.

Prince Calder in the The First Law novel The Heroes is a self-professed coward and schemer who employs a smug smirk as "armor" against all of the bloodthirsty barbarians he interacts with. He's something of a composite expy of Theon Greyjoy and Jaime Lannister (see above), including the aspect of seeming like a total bastard up until he becomes a POV character. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Jet. During his first appearance, the writers apparently had orders to make sure Jet always looked cool. Varrick sports one in The Legend of Korra when it's revealed he's running the False Flag Operation framing the Northern Water Tribe for the attacks. |

Played for laughs at the end of a That Mitchell and Webb Look sketch where David Mitchell and Robert Webb are plotting out the good and bad sketches of their show, which in turn leads to the two discussing common criticisms of their work. It ends with Webb gloatingly dismissing the criticism with "And people call us smug!", at which point the two sit around nodding at each other with the most absurdly smug expressions on their faces. | |

Haruhi Suzumiya: Fujiwara (or "That Sneering Bastard") is described as looking like an "evil version of Koizumi" due to the fact that he constantly wears this expression. Kyon often reads smarm into Koizumi's own perpetual smile when it's combined with his penchant for flippant philosophizing and generally being inscrutable. |

Rebuild World: Akira’s Virtual Sidekick Alpha is an Artificial Intelligence with a smile calculated to be perfect, as part of being a Proud Beauty and Attention Whore. Alpha is a Manipulative Bitch using the protagonist Akira for her own ends. Notably, she uses her smiles to comfort him that everything is going well, so when she stops smiling, it means things are dangerous. Yanigisawa is a mysterious Badass in a Nice Suit and Wild Card in the Corporate Government who’s introduced Playing Both Sides in a Government Conspiracy. He’s this as Alpha’s Arch-Enemy after having completed her mission but betrayed her at the last moment. This is probably where he got the trait from. And then there’s Viola, a Knowledge Broker with Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, but who doesn’t let her ego get out of control. Her smiling is just a mask, and Akira often makes her sweat behind it, controlling Viola through fear. |

.hack//SIGN: Protagonist Tsukasa usually greets adversity with one of these. It's less a promise of an eminent curb-stomp — he's a Squishy Wizard whose Guardian Entity does the actual fighting — and more of a feeble act of rebellion against social convention. Given what we see of his player's real-life Abusive Parents, smiling dismissively was apparently the best defense they had to protect what little self-worth they had. | |

Miserable by Lit: Val, the Giant Woman the band had been performing on top of throughout the video, can be seen smiling while Kevin Baldes makes the poor decision to stand on her lips, which makes it easy for her to simply open her mouth and eat him alive. Later, when she's captured Final Guy A.Jay Popoff, she flashes him an amused smile while she watches him dangling from her fingers and flailing before tossing him into her mouth and eating him. | |

MonsterVerse: Walter R. Riccio in Skull Island: The Birth of Kong starts out with a near-constant little smirk on his face and the attitude to match in the first part, but it disappears once things go south for the expedition within minutes of touching down on the island. Walter Simmons in Godzilla vs. Kong has an arrogant, smug little smirk on his face most of the time when he's in the control hub overseeing Mechagodzilla. |

Qilby the Traitor in Wakfu after he ditches his Mask of Sanity and reveals his Big Bad status. His default expression is either a smug smile, a Slasher Smile, or some unholy combination of the two. He's got a pretty good reason to act as if he's better than The Hero Yugo considering he's basically a far more powerful version of him thanks to adulthood and his merging with the Eliacube. He only loses his smirk when his Berserk Button is pushed and when Yugo dissects his true motivations. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: This is one of Theon Greyjoy's signature traits in addition to being a Smug Snake, although he's later revealed to have been a rather tragic Stepford Smiler. When he falls into the hands of a sadistic villain who he had previously looked down upon, in addition to other mental and physical tortures, the villain purposely breaks all of Theon's teeth. Jaime Lannister does this a lot (which fits with his first appearance as a stereotypical fantasy villain), although the chapters written from his POV show that he consciously puts on his smile whenever he's unsure of the situation because he's learned that people will read lots of different things from a knowing smile. This is, in fact, one of the early indications that he might turn out to be a better manipulator than you'd think from his initial thoughtlessness. The HBO tv adaption interprets this as Littlefinger's default expression, and whilst he is a Perpetual Smiler in the book, his smile is described as either quite friendly or rather sad. |

Dio Brando from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is almost never seen without one, so you know that when he stops smirking you are either the newest entry on his shit list or about to become extremely dead (although the former is almost inevitably followed by the latter.)

Game of Thrones: Dagmer. He has a constant smirk on his face that would classify as mischievous if it weren't for the fact that it tends to accompany his Evil Mentor and Kick the Dog moments. In "The North Remembers", Tyrion can barely conceal his glee at Cersei's fury and discomfort during their first meeting. Theon is prone to smirking when he's being cocky. His opportunities to be cocky, however, get fewer and farther between as the series progresses. Theon's sister Yara (Asha in the books) also qualifies, with her default expression being a self-assured, cocksure smirk. At least in the second season, she is seen smiling whenever Theon messes up... which is often. Daario Naharis generally wears a mischievous grin, which manages to be a Cat Smile due to the shape of his lips, especially when he's trying to impregnate Daenerys with his eyes. This is gone now that Michiel Huisman plays him. By his expression, it's clear that no one thinks Petyr Baelish is more cunning or witty than Petyr Baelish himself. Daenerys Targaryen has really turned up the smug in the later seasons. If you think this is justified or not will generally dictate whether you are her fan or not. There probably isn't a character from any medium ever, to compete with that contemptible, irritating smirk that Cersei wears constantly. Littlefinger's signature smirk has never been as prominent as when he gets to taste some real military strength for the first time on his own while simultaneously getting to play the Big Damn Hero in front of Catelyn Tully's eldest daughter. Despite not being named by Thorne as one of Jon's killers, Olly can't keep a self-satisfied smirk off his face in "The Red Woman". Even gagged it's hard not to see Ellaria's smile as Cersei asks her why she killed Myrcella. Shes proud that she killed the innocent girl if it meant she hurt Cersei. Which makes the revenge that Cersei inflicts on the evil bitch next all the more satisfying. Weasel constantly wears a sadistic smirk. |

Doctor Who: The Doctor briefly adopts this look when he goes off the deep end during "The Waters of Mars", until he realizes he's crossed a line. Son of Mine. SON OF MINE.◊ He's having "Super fun!" blowing up the village. What makes it worse is that he never stops doing it — even when the Doctor is blowing up their ship and he's screaming for the Family of Blood to escape, he's still smiling. Guess the body-snatching monster that he is isn't used to wearing a humanoid body. |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Seto Kaiba smiles this way frequently. With only one exception, this is the only type of smile he's known for. Yami Yugi can pull off a pretty good one on occasion, especially when he's about to deliver it. |

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: As a Large Ham, all of Double Trouble's expressions are somewhat exaggerated, so when DT is smug, DT is very◊, very smug. Even while in disguise, they will occasionally pause when no one can see them to smirk arrogantly and congratulate themself on their deviousness just for the hell of it. | |

Ace Attorney: Quite a few villains have this. Like Redd White, whose smug smile doesn't leave his face until his Villainous Breakdown. Similarly, after The Reveal, Matt Engarde only loses his smirk when Phoenix manages to turn the case around. |

The Mountain and the Wolf: The Wolf is often described as grinning or smirking in a way that makes whoever he's talking to want to punch him in the face. Of course, if the grin isn't enough there's the constant and unstoppable Innocently (and not-so-innocently) Insensitive comments he's always making regarding the inferiority of Southerners or heavy-handed approval of actions the other characters regret the most. | |

Merlin: Morgana Pendragon throughout most of season 3 after doing something evil does an evil smile. Other villains in the series (Agrivaine, Morgose, and Cenred) can be seen doing evil smiles. Even before he was evil Mordred both as Asa Butterfield and Alexander Vlahos. Merlin himself even showed some smug smiles through the course of the 5 seasons. | |
