History Main / Cuckoosnarker

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMask'': The Mask is genuinely insane, however he does have his moments when he's dealing with people who are idiots, jerks, or cowards, showing that he keeps himself in control a lot more than he appears to be. Such as trying to warn people that there's a monster about to eat them, but he gets annoyed when they choose to ignore him. Or when the police are acting like idiots and chasing him when he's trying to take care of the real danger, which he snarks at their stupidity and obsession with him.

** [[InnocentAliens Dr.]] [[FunnyForeigner Zoidberg]] too. His cheery reaction when Hermes, [[SitcomArchNemesis who cordially hates him]], pairs up all their other coworkers for a mission, then realizes he's left himself with nobody else to team up with:
--->'''Zoidberg:''' Screwed again, my friend!

* Vinny of the streaming group WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} is both incredibly sarcastic and incredibly eccentric. He has no shortage of snark yet at the same time, this is a man who used rubber dildos to play the drums in a gesture recognition game, amuses himself by aggressively shouting "spin" in a vaguely Slavic voice for no particular reason beyond it being inherently funny-sounding, comes up with words like "clussisimo" and "klump-skumping," and created a detailed backstory for a random earthworm puppet from an MSN commercial just because it looked silly, not to mention the fact that his main claim to fame is figuring out how to glitch out old video game [=ROMs=] with things like VideoGame/GameGenie codes to see how badly he can corrupt their graphics and sound without having them crash or freeze entirely and even having a purpose-built "real-time corruptor" made for him that he can use to accomplish simiar results on physical video game cartridges.

* Zeno the Yellow Dragon Warrior from ''Manga/YonaOfTheDawn'' is a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} of the ObfuscatingStupidity subspecies -- he initially doesn't want to let on to his traveling companions that he is [[spoiler:actually an immortal contemporary of their mythical ancestors from 2,000 years prior]], and instead prefers to be underestimated (and spoiled) as a cute, cuddly 17-year-old boy with no power whatsoever. However, he's actually very intelligent, intuitive, and perceptive, and he was [[spoiler:watching over Yona and the other three dragons for much of their lives]], so he will occasionally let slip an affectionately snide remark. He has an especial talent for stating the obvious in such a way that it's both blunt enough to sound like his typical cheerful obliviousness, yet also pointed enough that it ''has'' to be sarcasm. Once the other characters learn the truth, his always-lovingly-meant snark becomes more open for a while, often tag-teaming with self-proclaimed [[BigBrotherMentor big brother Jaeha]] to gently mock Kija, but the changing dynamic in the way the other characters view his powers (namely, [[spoiler:the fact that his immortality causes him to be subjected to constant pain and dismemberment]], which they all try to protect him from) begins to stress him out and makes him too irritable to snark properly. Thankfully, ShrinkingViolet Shin-ah has been watching him all along and seems poised to pick up where he left off.

* This is Creator/NormMacdonald's whole comedic persona.

* ''WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck'' is probably the single best known character of this type from the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation golden age]]. A lot of his mid-1940s shorts have him as a witty, somewhat snarky, ChickMagnet, mildly {{Cloudcuckoolander}} character. Some directors, like Creator/FrizFreleng and Creator/ChuckJones, eventually decided to portray Daffy as a full on SmallNameBigEgo in the 1950s, while [[Creator/RobertMcKimson Bob [=McKimson=] ]] kept the mixed portrayal as defined by Creator/FrankTashlin and Arthur Davis. (One could argue, however, that Daffy's transition from a full-on {{Cloudcuckoolander}} as seen in his 1930s shorts to this trope actually started in 1942, with director Norm [=McCabe=]'s ''WesternAnimation/DaffysSouthernExposure'', which depicts him as quite egotistical in regards to his decisions, but still very cuckoo when it comes to character interactions).

* Jenny Wren from ''Literature/OurMutualFriend'' is a complete Cuckoolander who lives in her imaginary world, sees angels and talks to herself; however, she is very smart, insightful and snarky when not engaged in poetic fancy.

* ''Series/TheATeam'': Howlin' Mad Murdock is one of the kookiest soldiers of fortune around, whose quirks have included, but are not limited to, launching a society for the freedom of golf balls, having an invisible dog and taking on a number of different personas. He can also be quite snarky when he gets the urge.

* Jason Cook, a champion baker from [[Creator/FoodNetwork Holiday Baking Championship]] and now a Food Network baking show judge is a very odd duck with his ImpossiblyTackyClothes and southern fried GoodOldBoy humble background. And in every appearance he makes, he doles out some kind of weapons-grade snark either as self depreciation or at the expense of some contestant who is getting a bit ahead of themselves.

* Merrill from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' 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.

* Historically, this is probably how many jesters acted. Jesters are thought to 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.

* LetsPlay/{{Pwnage}} Damian is definitively bizarre in thinking, but he lets out a few quips too. Near the end of ''Creepypasta Land'' part 1, Damian sarcastically agrees after Kyle misremembers the name of ''WebOriginal/JeffTheKiller'':

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMask'': The Mask is genuinely insane, however he does have his moments when he's dealing with people who are idiots, jerks or being afraid, showing that he keeps himself in control a lot more than he appears to be. Such as trying to warn people that there's a monster about to eat them, but he gets annoyed when they choose to ignore him. Or when the police are acting like idiots and chasing him when he's trying to take care of the real danger, which he snarks at their stupidity and obsession with him.

* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': Despite being a dunce, Usagi is known for bringing out snarky quips, especially whenever [[VitriolicBestBuds Rei]] is involved.

* The witch Magilou from ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'' is extremely quirky, and also very sarcastic and teasing.

She looked up and grinned. "Yes I am," she said proudly. "Isn't it wonderful?”''

-->'''Elaine:''' So I told Ipswich I'd have the hat by this afternoon! What am I gonna do?
-->'''Kramer:''' You should sleep with him.

--->'''Kyle''': "What is that creepypasta called? It's Jack something- there's Jack and Jane."
--->'''Damian''': [[SarcasmMode "Jack and Jane, yep, ''that's who it is.''"]]
