* ''Series/Community'': Jeff Winger is known for his DeadpanSnarker tendencies as well as his height and good looks, even playing off Annie as ThePollyanna, her more idealistic views serving as a foil and counterpoint to Jeff's sarcasm, such as when Troy and Abed fight over their blanket fort, with Jeff initially dismissing the whole thing as silly and taking advantage of the situation to blow off classes, while Annie pushes him to mediate for the two.

* ''Series/{{Mash}}'': Hawkeye Pierce is a brilliant surgeon, charming and very good-looking, seduces women extremely easily, snarks at Frank Burns every episode in a way that would make [[Film/TheMarxBrothers Groucho]] proud, and he's even described by a Korean cleaning women as "tall, dark hair, snotty attitude," which is almost the trope name word-for-word. Younger characters look up to him and envy him -- which is shown especially with Radar. However, he's pretty messed-up and drinks heavily. He deals with the war and all the killed and badly injured kids he encounters by being a StepfordSnarker.

* Tachyon in ''TabletopGame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse''. Okay, she's blonde. But, with a great sense of humor (she memorably described her lab team as "only the top scientific badasses") and standing at a full six feet tall, she fulfills most of the name, and certainly fits the archetype.

%%* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'': Freelancer York is Incredibly good-looking, [[MasterOfUnlocking very good at what he does]], and every other word out of his mouth is in the form of snarkily commenting on other people's quirks and flaws. Oddly he's still a NiceGuy, as he frequently delivers the snark in a manner that suggests he's more affectionately teasing than actually trying to be mean.

** John Childermass, Mr Norrell's EnigmaticMinion, is foreshadowed to secretly be a magician by fitting the bill, especially in the [[AdaptationalAttractiveness TV mini series]]. While initially described as looking twisted like a tree, he nonetheless [[KavorkaMan has three maids fall for him]]. He has long dark hair, wears a black coat with a black [[NiceHat top hat]], is the master of the eye roll and has barely any dialogue in any social situation where he does ''not'' [[ServileSnarker snark]]. He fits the bill so perfectly, in fact, that Drawlight initially assumes ''he'' must be Mr Norrell, the magician of Hanover-Square.
