History Main / Cuckoosnarker

* Merrill from ''VideoGame/DragonAge2'' delivers some pretty crushing remarks when pushed far enough by antagonistic party members Anders or Fenris, showing she is fully aware of how grim their situations are. The rest of the time, she has her head in the clouds wondering how Qunari scratch their heads and cooing over vicious guard-dogs.

* Panchito in ''WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheThreeCaballeros'' , who is now more cuckoo and ditzy, can be surprisingly sarcastic, mainly towards Donald.

* Historically, this is probably how many jesters acted. Jesters are thought to either be very strange people who played up their cuckoo-ness so they could get away with mocking the nobility. A jester could even play a good role as an adviser by pointing out the flaws in a plan via mocking the idea or by delivering bad news that no one else dared to.

* Brittany, the GeniusDitz of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' is definitely prone to this.

* Sheldon Cooper from ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', though [[InformedAttribute supposedly]] SarcasmBlind, tends to make sarcastic (or InnocentlyInsensitive) quips at his friends and colleagues (and pretty much everyone). He's also a DitzyGenius with an AmbiguousDisorder.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': It is rare, but Pinkie Pie ''can'' snark if the situation calls for it. For example, in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]":
-->'''Princess Twilight:''' Who better [than Applejack and Rainbow Dash] to model the importance of working as a team?\\

{{Cloudcuckoolander}}s are usually perceived as childlike and innocent, devoid of any sort of sarcasm and snarkery. Therefore when such a character all of a sudden delivers quips and witticisms, it is often a real surprise for the reader/viewer. It may serve as indication that they are not as air-headed and naive as they may seem - and perhaps even [[ObfuscatingInsanity deliberately pretend]] - to be.

* Sir Joseph Porter in Creator/GilbertAndSullivan's ''Theatre/HMSPinafore''. One moment he's rabbiting on about how all sailors should dance hornpipes and how strong language is never appropriate, another moment he's dropping shade like this:

* Liz Allaire from ''VideoGames/TheNextBigThing'' by Pendulo Studios, described by the authors as possibly "the most outrageously insane main character in the history of all graphic adventures". She is also a very talented young journalist who often delivers brilliant quips (especially towards her colleague Dan Murray, [[BelligerentSexualTension due to obvious reasons]]).

* Princess Eilonwy from ''Literature/ChroniclesOfPrydain'' seems like a TalkativeLoon and an airhead at first, but turns out to be a real snarker (especially towards the protagonist). This is one of the first signs that she's much sharper than she may appear to be (actually one of the most intelligent characters in the series).
