* ''Series/{{Dexter}}'' is just as much a smart-ass on TV as in the books, if not more so. There's even a subversion in one episode where Dex's internal monologue becomes external for a line; the only one who notices, of course, is [[SecretChaser Doakes]].

** In the box sets, there is in-character discussion and lectures about various bits of Weserosi history, places, and events. Most characters do so simply in an informational manner, (although there are occasional hints of UnreliableNarrator, {{Half Truth}}s, exaggerating the glories of minor victories or sly hints at things that history is too polite to talk about) but the sections done by Stannis Baratheon are ''peppered'' with smart ass comments. (Which, [[BrutalHonesty considering]] [[HonorBeforeReason the]] [[PrinciplesZealot personality]] [[PerpetualFrowner Stannis]] [[NoSenseOfHumor has]], is rather ironic.) A few examples:

** ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'' SequelSeries shows the point of view of multiple demigods, all of whom are various levels of smartass--although they're third-person, making them {{Lemony Narrator}}s.

* ''Literature/{{Spenser}}'' is somewhat a [[ThePoorMansSubstitute Poor Man's Substitute]] of this trope and is often brought up as the direct inspiration for fantasy novels using this character-type (Jim Butcher has openly named him as the literary ancestor of Harry Dresden).

* Creator/JimButcher used this trope for his ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' novel, ''Literature/SpiderManTheDarkestHours'', casting Peter Parker as the narrator. Given that he once described Dresden as being "Peter Parker if he was bitten by a radioactive wizard", it seems entirely appropriate.

* Wally West's version of ''ComicBook/TheFlash'' is rife with snarky narration.
* When the powers that be let teen Loki narrate their own exploits (Like in the first issue of ''Comicbook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'') they will do this. Their tangents on things like the nature of magic serving as exposition and underlining how nerdy they can get. Yes, the God of Mischief owns tabletop [=RPG=] rulebooks, problem?
* This has become a fairly common practice in ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' comic books.
