[[AC: {{Film}}]]
* TheAvengers film has [[WorldOfSnark quite a lot of snarkers]], most of whom are garden variety {{Deadpan Snarker}}s, but [[IronMan Tony Stark]] and [[TheIncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] specifically fit this trope because their sarcasm is respectively a defence mechanism and a way of maintaining self-control. This is particularly evident after [[spoiler: Agent Coulson]] gets killed, and Tony snarks about how stupid he was to face Loki alone, but is clearly using it to cover up his own grief.
** Given that Tony's [[IronMan own films]] show his life to be something of a mess, with quite a lot of moral emptiness (before he decides to become a superhero,) alcoholism and relationship issues (continuing after he becomes a superhero,) he counts as this trope in all his films.

Another conversation with Daria and her mom
->'''Helen''': Daria, the easiest thing in the world for you is being honest about what you observe.
->'''Daria''': And...
->'''Helen''': What's hard for you is being honest about your wishes. About the way you think things should be, not the way they are. You gloss over it with a cynical joke and nobody finds out what you really believe in.
->'''Daria''': Aha! So my evil plan is working.

In addition, she may be a SnarkKnight but she doesn't have to be. While the Snark Knight is antisocial and sarcastic because of discontent with her surroundings, the Stepford Snarker does not have to be anti-social. She could have many friends and even an optimistic view of the world itself, so long as she still hides her bad moods with snark. A staple of the JerkassWoobie and commononly seen in {{Goth}}s. Closely related to {{Kuudere}}, {{Tsundere}}, BrokenBird and DefrostingIceQueen, all of whom might use this sort of snark as a way of masking their inner sweetness. Compare/contrast SadClown, who is less rude and more ridiculous.

The fraternal twin of the StepfordSmiler. The Stepford Snarker has intense feelings of sadness, anger, numbness, or other negative emotions, but, for whatever reason, wants to hide these feelings from the people around them. However, unlike the Stepford Smiler, who hides these feelings by acting sweet and happy, the Stepford Snarker hides these feelings by [[DeadpanSnarker being snarky]]. She often puts on an outward appearance of being very jaded and bitter (though some may maintain a brighter disposition when they are in a better mood, snarking only when upset), and makes sarcastic comments about everything and everybody, but those that are able to break her shell find that she is actually deeply hurt. If she is able to heal, she will not necessarily stop being sarcastic, it may just part of her personality, but she will hopefully find a way to express her feelings to her loved ones, rather than solely hiding them with her quips.
