* {{Cuckoosnarker}}: Just because they're [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} in cloud nine]] doesn't mean they can't get a jab in-between what they say.
* DisabledSnarker: They're disabled, but that doesn't stop them from a sarcastic streak.
* GentlemanSnarker: Well-spoken, gentlemanly, polite, and no less prone to brutality shaped into
[[Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease Now, as
* GradeSystemSnark: This arbitrary rating avoids commenting honestly in favor of humor.
* LittleMissSnarker: This little kid (almost always female) is much wiser and prone to wit than even her seniors.

* SiliconSnarker: Robots, computers or A.I. with no scruples about pointing out human error.
* TheSnarkKnight: They snark at everyone, including [[SelfDeprecation themselves]].
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: When two people of similar wits meet, they'll match them until one relents.
* SnarkyInanimateObject: They're not alive, and who cares? You're getting a tongue-lashing anyways.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: If your sidekick is an animal/non-human, chances are they will point your stupidity at you.
* StepfordSnarker: They resort to wit to hide their insecurities, often incapable of avoiding sarcasm in detriment of expressing any genuine thought or feeling.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: They're TallDarkAndHandsome... and wisecracks to boot.
* WorldOfSnark: Everyone in this universe is prone to sarcasm. ''Everyone.''
