| The Snark Knight | comment |
This character has a world-weary disdain for everyone, themselves included. They typically suffer from a healthy dose of Intelligence Equals Isolation, and are the type to stand aside at parties and quietly drink beer while making biting quips about the idiocy that surrounds them. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })To the "herd followers" they deprecate, this makes them a mild Jerkass. The sympathetic see their antisocial behavior as a sort of personal crusade against idiocy. The Alpha Bitch and Jerk Jock are their mortal enemies. If they have any positive interaction with the Big Man on Campus, then they are also a Cool Loser, teaching him not to be a self-satisfied twit while he teaches them to be less haughty and smile a little. The key element that differentiates the Snark Knight from a normal Deadpan Snarker, a Smug Snake, or a plain old jerkass is that the Snark Knight holds themselves to their own impossibly high standards. This means that they will throw barbs at themselves as often as they throw them at others, with the exact same level of vitriol. And because of these high standards, you can bet they won't be Easily Impressed. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Sometimes the Snark Knight ends up as a Sidekick or one third of a Power Trio with the main protagonist, providing the role of the cynical commentator and Meta Guy. Expect less personal Angst and more Plucky Comic Relief in these cases. Sub-Trope of Deadpan Snarker. Contrast Loners Are Freaks. Often the opposite of the Stepford Smiler. If their sarcasm is revealed to be a similar mask, they're a Stepford Snarker. See also Knight In Sour Armor and Cool Loser. |

Die Hard: John McClane is a very good snarker, and many of his quips are at his own expense. For example, in Die Hard with a Vengeance, one character says he's two steps away from being an alcoholic, and John corrects him by holding up a finger and mouthing, "One step." | |

Bleach: Ryuuken Ishida appears to be a bitterly sarcastic individual who is hypercritical of his son's desire and ability to be a Quincy, causing the pair to dissolve into Snark-to-Snark Combat whenever they're in the same room together. Isshin Kurosaki, who knows Ryuuken's secret, implies that Ryuuken is trying to help his son in some very specific way. Flashbacks revealing the beginning of Ryuuken's problems with Quincies show no-one in the world is a harsher critic of Ryuuken than Ryuuken himself. He's clearly a Stepford Snarker, but the link between the start of his problems and his current situation has yet to be fully revealed. | |

Ange Ushiromiya in Umineko: When They Cry can do nothing but snark, as throughout the story she's stuck in the role of observer/investigator. Most of this is a defense mechanism against a world that has hurt her, and she expects to hurt her more. Even as a child she had a bit of a smart mouth (though not to the extent of a Little Miss Snarker.) In the 'Trick' ending, she embraces her cynicism along with everything she's learned from Rokkenjima to take on the 'Knight' aspect. | |

Parks and Recreation April Ludgate the college intern is another prime example. Season 2 has April starting to get over it, though, beginning to distance herself from her irony-loving friends and getting more involved in the department. She still provides a healthy dose of snark, particularly towards Jerry, the office Butt-Monkey. April's sister Natalie. |

Red vs. Blue: This is Church. He even crosses into outright (attempts at) heroism sometimes, but never ceases pointing out how stupid everyone around him is, especially Caboose.

Total Drama: Noah definitely falls into this category, since that was his only distinctive trait in season one, with Duncan coming in at a close second. Now that it's been 3 seasons, Noah's fleshed out more, but is still definitely a snarker when he wants to be. Gwen also qualifies, especially in the first season. |

Homestuck Karkat hates everyone, including himself. (At one point he thought he was his own hate-soulmate. It's a troll thing.) He insults everyone mercilessly, again including himself. His ability to rag on himself is aided by the time travel tomfoolery that all the trolls are up to their bulge in; he constantly gets into arguments with his past/future self. He also happens to be the Knight of Blood. Despite his bluster it's worth listening to him, as Karkat has a good measure of people and can point out their flaws accurately. Rose. Pretty much 90%+ of everything she says is sarcastic, either playfully so or biting. Part of this comes from a childhood of passive-aggressive antagonism with her mother — except even that may have been one-sided and an illusion caused by Rose viewing her attempts to bond through Jade-Colored Glasses. To a lesser extent, Dave. He holds up a cool facade to pretty much everything, mocking everything and everyone he comes across, but when push comes to shove he's actually pretty insecure about his own abilities, especially compared with people he considers heroes like his Bro or John. |

August either went through character decay (or development; as a teenager, such a change in personality isn't unrealistic), becoming rather hypocritical and just liking to look down at everyone. Her initial apperance portrayed her as a more well-adjusted and pleasent person (At least, as well adjusted as The Snark Knight can get). Tommy himself could be considered a male Snark Knight, although to a much lesser degree than August. |

Suki in The Scribbler has suffered from Split Personality syndrome her entire life. As a result, when she's in "normal" mode, she pretty much runs on non-stop sarcasm. This does not endear her to the detective and police psychiatrist grilling her about a series of suspicious deaths at her high-rise halfway house. | |

Haley Starshine of The Order of the Stick certainly isn't one... but, on the other hand, her brain is hosting "Mistress Shadowgale", a.k.a the imaginary personification of her self-loathing, which certainly has several levels of Snark Knight. | |

The titular hero of Jessica Jones has always been this, even before Kilgrave. It's the reason she was unable to hold down any one of the series of menial office jobs she cycled through before becoming a private investigator. This trait is even more apparent in The Defenders. | |

Kathryn Merteuil of Cruel Intentions is a very rare combination of this trope and Alpha Bitch. It definitely shatters the stereotype that all mean girls are stupid, and possibly suggests that most Alpha Bitches are Snark Knights when no-one is watching. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Odo started this way. Major (later Colonel) Kira Nerys was the heavy-handed embodiment of this trope, just like Ro Laren before her. Almost to a "Can't Argue With Bajorans" extent. The role was originally written to be Ro Laren, as was the character B'Elanna Torres in Star Trek: Voyager. |

Batman is this, Depending on the Writer. He's generally shown being a jerk to other heroes, but he allows himself few joys in life and does his best to keep everyone at arm's length. It's implied that one reason he's so proud of Dick Grayson aside from Dick being his oldest "child" is that Dick has surpassed both himself and Superman as a hero. | |

Pride and Prejudice has Mr. Bennet and his favorite daughter Elizabeth. Mr. Bennet deals with his ill-matched marriage by constantly Trolling his wife and laughing at his younger daughters, but when he realizes that this form of Parental Neglect contributed to Lydia's near-disgrace and Shotgun Wedding with Wickham, he admits and mocks his own folly. Elizabeth as well; she's bitterly amused by the irony of regretting the loss of Darcy when a few months ago she would have rejoiced to have him gone from her life. | |

Wolverine is this in spades often. Wolvie, for the longest time, rivaled the Incredible Hulk for "angriest character" in Marvel; he would make snarky or snide remarks to just about everyone, though he does have a soft spot for kids, and generally got angry at the drop of the hat. But the person he hates the most, is himself. It's been suggested that one of the biggest reasons he hates Sabretooth so deeply is because he sees too much of himself in Victor - what Wolverine himself could become if he lost all his morals and let "The Animal" take over. | |

Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle takes the cake. Always, always snidely fuming at everyone and everything.

The Nostalgia Chick. She's even more cynical than her Spear Counterpart (which is a pretty huge achievement) and can make Daria look fun-loving at times, but she's also a Broken Bird prone to Self-Deprecation. Most imitating The Nostalgia Critic or the The Angry Video Game Nerd and taken up the mantle of internet reviewer invoke this trope. Ironically, The Nostalgia Critic himself has become more of a pitiful Chew Toy. This is especially true of any reviewers that have posted a "worst mistakes" video and called themselves out for errors they made in previous reviews. Todd in the Shadows has evident distain for his fellow reviewers, roommates, typical Acceptable Targets like Chris Brown, and himself. This makes the few times he does genuinely like something more Adorkable |

In the dark near-future military thriller Victoria, protagonist John Rumford is acerbic in his treatment of everyone, including those few exemplars who actually meet with his overall approval. He will usually make his one exception where his fellow revolutionist and sometime mentor Colonel Kraft is concerned, but even he is not totally immune. | |

Dan from Nathan Barley is a Deconstruction of the trope, penned by Charlie Brooker (himself arguably a Real Life example). He's a caustic depressive who writes withering articles about "the idiots" (who themselves respect him as "the Preacher Man"), growing more and more cutting and vicious as he falls in with them. However, when he's offered a job for a more reputable magazine, he realises he cannot write anything but cheap sarcasm, and it's hinted that his self-deprecation forms a self-destructive cycle; the show offers him plenty of get-outs, but he never ends up taking them. | |

Shadow the Hedgehog from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He's got goals, generally involving being the best (just like Sonic, which is why they clash so often).

Doctor Who: The Doctor has a very dark and twisted version of this in the Dream Lord, from Amy's Choice. Even as he traps the heroes in a dream and toys with them, he snipes at all of their character flaws, with particular venom reserved for the Doctor. He's actually an extension of the Doctor's psyche, particularly his darkness and self-loathing, which qualifies him for this trope. The Doctor identifies him because "No one in the universe hates me as much as you." |

Veronica Mars: Veronica takes this role but unlike most, only after she's been pushed into it by her ostracization for standing by her father. Note her moral principles fall into a sense of justice and not letting the wealthy get away with crimes but she's loose on using deception to get her way. Such is the way of most Private Detective characters. Troubled, but Cute Logan also falls under this trope, especially after he and Veronica get back together on season 2. |

Aggie of Penny and Aggie starts off this way. Early storylines see her standing on the sidelines and aiming sarcastic comments and the occasional prank at popular girl Penny for her apparent superficiality and snobbery, in contrast to Aggie's espoused (though not always upheld) progressive values. She's also initially something of a loner with only one friend, the bookwormish Duane. Eventually, she develops a wider circle of friends, including Penny herself. | |
