* ''Series/MonarchLegacyOfMonsters'': Several members of the cast are pretty sarcastic and snarky. In the 1950s flashbacks, Lee Shaw and Keiko Miura are both pretty deadpan and sardonic when they really want to be. Michelle Duvall makes emphatic {{air quotes}} -- in front of her boss no less -- when saying that [[JadedWashout Kentaro]] is an artist. Even [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Tim]] gets pretty sarcastic to show that he's at his wit's end when he's caught in a Godzilla-caused helicopter crash in the Sahara, has to hike several miles back to civilization on foot with no water as the {{sole survivor}}, and almost immediately gets accused by the main cast of having kidnapped their friend ([[NotMeThisTime which he didn't do this time]]).

* ''Series/DadsArmy'':
** Creator/JohnLeMesurier was cast as Wilson because, in the words of Creator/TheBBC brass, "He suffers so beautifully". With the pompous Mainwaring above him and the various liabilities below him, he deals with being the OnlySaneMan in the platoon with quiet sarcasm. Just to give two examples from the same scene in "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Walker" (as reconstructed in 2019):
*** With Mainwaring waiting to inspect the platoon, Wilson gives the command (well, invitation) "Open order... march". Jones, true to form, is a second or two behind the others, and says, "I'm sorry, sir - I'm not my usual self today!". Wilson mutters, "Oh yes you are, Jones".
*** When Walker arrives with the bad news that he's being called up for military service and must report for his medical in ten days, Mainwaring declares that the time has come for action, not words, and asks Wilson if he agrees. Wilson, well aware of how much his superior at the bank and in the platoon loves the sound of his own voice, says, "I always think it's rather a good idea to keep the words to a minimum, sir".

** "The Mating Dance" opens with this mordant, misogyny-tinged soliloquy on his daughter's transformation from girlhood to pre-teen status:
--->'''John''': I'm not much in a hurry to get home today. Last night, I discovered my daughter Lydia at the ripe old age of ten trying on her mother's lipstick. It suddenly dawned on me that our little bundle of joy is about to emerge from her somewhat transparent disguise of being a child and reveal herself as man's basic enemy, the Eternal Female. Now -- now, the mating dance begins, and some poor male is going to end up trampled to a pulp. And please, none of you Pollyannas out there can convince me differently -- I happen to know her mother.
** This exchange from "The Shrike and the Chipmunks" concerns John's extreme irritation about having to draw illustrations for a children's book -- something his wife thinks is a good idea.
--->'''John''': I've done some shameful things in my time, but I have never illustrated a kid book!\\

A sudden expert literary critic, founder of the John Monroe Fan Clubs of America. Yes sir, Christmas is at our throats again.

--->'''Phil''': I wouldn't consider a divorce right now. In the first place, you can't get a lawyer on the phone -- they're out buying presents for the judges. Secondly, to start a divorce action at Yuletide would be in bad taste.
