History Main / TallDarkAndSnarky

* Elphaba Thropp from ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'', despite what people think with her green skin, is actually quite attractive and gets some admirers from her fans, and even in universe. But she is also very silver tongued and will be quick to point out someone's flaws in a usually snarky way. Even more so in in the Broadway production, where she made this into one of her favorite past times with her friend G(a)linda and other characters.

* ''Film/XMen'':
** The Juggernaut from ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', in an almost TypeCasting kind of way.

** Liev Schrieber's portrayal of Victor Creed in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine''.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
** Tyrion (Creator/PeterDinklage) fits the ''description'' mentally, if not the ''name'' and by his appearance, being both extremely short, as a dwarf, and blonde, as a Lannister, but he has a very captivating, snarky personality.
%%** Littlefinger.

* The Juggernaut from ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', in an almost TypeCasting kind of way.

* Mako and his ex-girlfriend Asami Sato, from ''{{The Legend of Korra}}''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GfdznQxRK4 In season 2]], this snarkiness seems to carry over into Mako's job as a cop as well.

* The titular character from Theatre/{{Brand}} by Creator/HenrikIbsen, is described as a man with black, straight hair (not unlike Severus Snape), and is a SnarkKnight if ever there was one. He also has an impressive effect on his fellow men.

[[VitriolicBestBuds Often paired]] or [[{{Foil}} placed in contrast]] with an [[ThePollyanna insufferably cheerful]], outgoing, nice, and/or [[TheMessiah idealistic character]], and may act as TheLancer. This character is usually responsible for teaching the Tall, Dark and Snarky about ThePowerOfFriendship or ThePowerOfLove, once he or she has enough skill to make the Tall, Dark and Snarky actually respect their opinion. However, this can backfire, with the Tall, Dark and Snarky feeling threatened by the character's newfound power and becoming TheRival instead or, worse, give the idealistic guy a pair of JadeColoredGlasses to wear.

* Fitzwilliam Darcy from ''PrideAndPrejudice'', the TropeCodifier. He's tall and very attractive but intimidating, reserved and disagreeable. However, close reading proves that he actually smiles a lot throughout the novel, and of course, Elizabeth's lively character improves his manners.

* ''Series/{{Angel}}'':
** Angel. He's overall moody and brooding but has frequently shown a dark sarcasm and taunting, snarky behavior to those he disliked.

* ''Series/SilentWitness'''s Dr Harry Cunningham, with Dr Nikki Alexander as the idealistic [[TheLancer lancer]]. His replacement, Jack Hodgson, also fits [[DownplayedTrope on occasion]].

* ''Series/SilentWitness'''s Dr Harry Cunningham, in contrast to Dr Nikki Alexander's idealism. His replacement, Jack Hodgson, also fits.

* ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'''s Miles Edgeworth is TheComicallySerious {{Determinator}} and ruthless as a prosecutor at first, though he has CharacterDevelopment. He's {{Bishonen}} and irresistible to the ladies, and yet [[ObliviousToLove nigh oblivious to this]] and AmbiguouslyGay, admired by the police force, and [[DeadpanSnarker incredibly snarky]]. FirstPersonSmartass especially so in ''AceAttorneyInvestigations'', or in the case in ''Trials & Tribulations'' where you play as him for a segment.

* The Fourth Doctor in ''Series/DoctorWho'' is by a long way the tallest and deepest-voiced Doctor, with a striking amount of MessyHair and a character influenced by GothicHorror heroes and [[ByronicHero the bohemian subculture of the late Victorian era]]. He is casually condescending and mendacious to his friends (his companion Harry gets the worst of this, but Leela was also constantly reminded how small and worthless her tiny little brain was compared to his) and delivering it all either offhandedly as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, or with a huge, adorable CheshireCatGrin. He's also probably the most sarcastic Doctor of the lot, due to how resigned he is to everyone else's perceived stupidity. Both these traits were also adopted by the Ninth Doctor, who does it just the same but with a ''lot'' more {{Angst}}, and fitting the trope archetype better.

* Elphaba Thropp from ''Thatre/{{Wicked}}'', despite what people think with her green skin, is actually quite attractive and gets some admirers from her fans, and even in universe. But she is also very silver tongued and will be quick to point out someone's flaws in a usually snarky way. Even more so in in the Broadway production, where she made this into one of her favorite past times with her friend G(a)linda and other characters.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' has Terry [=McGinnis=]. His mentor is [[DeadpanSnarker Bruce Wayne]], after all. It's taken Uptoeleven in the ''Return of the Joker'' movie, where [[spoiler: snarking and taunting at TheJoker actually ''helps him defeat him''.]]

--> * '''Galinda and Elphaba''': Yes there has been some confusion/for you see, my roommate is...
--> * '''Galinda''': Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
--> * '''Elphaba''': (in a very blunt tone) Blonde.
