History Main / TallDarkAndSnarky

* ''{{Riverdale}}'' has Jughead Jones, a very [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette dark-haired]], broody boy who almost ''always'' has something [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] to say and stands at 6'0'', as per his actor's height, which makes him the tallest of the main [[{{Deuteragonist}} four]] characters.

%%* [[BloodKnight Shion Izumi]] from {{Gantz}}. The most [[AxCrazy brutal fighter]] on the team and an incurable smartass,as well.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': In the manga, Ranma Saotome. Although he's an InsufferableGenius and a DeadpanSnarker, he's also one of the most optimistic people in the cast. So much so that when he tries to learn an attack based on depression, he fails because he's just too much of a happy person. In essence, he fulfils both the optimistic {{Hero}} role and the sarcastic, untrusting {{Lancer}} role.

'''Ranma:''' *''looks at the oversized bell she's giving him''* Just what I wanted. A huge metal acorn.

* ''Comicbook/DoctorStrange'': Doctor Strange at least in his backstory as Stephen Strange M.D., accomplished young neurosurgeon who was DrJerk and thought only of himself.

--> '''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.
* The titular character from Theatre/{{Brand}} by Creator/HenrikIbsen, is described as a man with black, straight hair, and is a SnarkKnight if ever there was one. He also has an impressive effect on his fellow men.

-->'''Wind Demon:''' Perhaps we can find a civilized way to resolve this.
--> '''Tso Lan:''' Like what? Alphabetical order?

* Rhett from ''Literature/GoneWithTheWind'' is another example.
** When they are fleeing Atlanta and Rhett is about to leave Scarlett and Melanie to join the Confederates Scarlett starts cussing him out out on it. Rhett's response:
-->'''Rhett''': Never mind the rest, I follow your general idea.
* Vidia from the Franchise/DisneyFairies series is a female example. The fastest of the Fast Flying fairies, her condescending attitude toward everyone else drives them away, which is usually [[IneffectualLoner just the way she likes it]].

* Chief Bogo of ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' is tall and has a handsome build. He is the strong, competent, honorable chief of police, greatly respected by his detectives, and liked and admired by the AmbiguouslyGay desk officer. He also makes blunt, unforgiving comments about other animals' thoughtless behavior every chance that he gets.

%%* Rhett from ''Literature/GoneWithTheWind'' is another example.

** Mr Bush (appeared in Series Two and Three) is a fine specimen of TallDarkAndHandsome, but his lines involve a fair share of snarky remarks and sneering comments. He can appear intimidating especially to young officers, such as midshipmen Hammond and Orrock.

%%* {{Flashman}} is an interesting subversion: actually Tall, Dark and Snarky as all hell, but appears to the world as a good-natured heroic naif.

This archetype is also frequently used as a mentor or [[AloofBigBrother older brother type]], used as a foil for the protagonist's optimistic and foolish nature. See also TallDarkAndHandsome for the straight vanilla versions.

* [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demon]] and SorcerousOverlord Tso Lan the [[GravityMaster Moon]] Demon from ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures.'' He's tall, has purplish-dark hair (a lot of it), wears [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver blood red and]] [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack royal violet robes]], and is very snarky.

%%* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': ''Very'' Special Agent Anthony [=DiNozzo=].

%%* Series/WhiteCollar: Neal Caffrey.

%%* Gerald Tarrant from the ColdfireTrilogy.

%%* [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]]. Heel or Face, [[SnarkBait it doesn't matter]] what you think, do, say, or who you are, as far as The Rock is concern.
%%* TheUndertaker.
%%* {{Batista}}, especially when he's {{Heel}}.
%%* CMPunk.

%%* KevinNash.
%%* ScottHall.
%%* RandyOrton.
%%* Wade Barrett, ex-leader of TheNexus.
%%* AlbertoDelRio, [[CatchPhrase and you already know that.]]
%%* JohnBradshawLayfield

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': Vetinari has moments of ''extreme'' snarkiness, and he's described as tall and dark. Not to mention awesome.

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'''s Ardsley Wooster is increasingly this trope, what with being tall, dark, British, the ServileSnarker as Gil's manservant, and [[spoiler: spy for Her Undying Majesty's British government, prone to BadAss stunts like foiling Dolokov's plan to sway the Jaegergenerals and departing with a BondOneLiner. Out the window of an airship.]]

%%* Rei Otohata in ''Manga/SuperGals!''

* Ban Mido from ''GetBackers''. While not particularly tall, he has dark hair, is a [[InsufferableGenius "combat expert" very well-read on a number of obscure subjects]], and is the most arrogant, foul-mouthed member of the main cast. And a Type-A {{Tsundere}}, to boot.

--> '''Shampoo:''' This present for Ranma!
--> '''Ranma:''' *looks at the oversized bell she's giving him* Just what I wanted. A huge metal acorn.

%%* Trent Lane and Thomas "Tom" Sloane from ''{{Daria}}'' are more than capable of snarking their way through the plot. Trent's sister Jane is a female example. %%%EXAMPLE INDENTATION! Jane needs context%%%
%%* Gwen from ''TotalDramaIsland.''

* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2'':

** Gannayev-of-Dreams from the expansion, although mostly white haired, would also fit, and ''he'' improves on it by being the only pretty hagspawn in the entire game. Snarking with/at him is the best way to gain influence.

%%* Fakir from ''PrincessTutu'' fits the description so well it almost seems like it was written ''about'' him, right down to the chipper main character teaching him ThePowerOfLove.
%%* Hayate from ''{{Pretear}}'', though, half the time, he acts like this [[JerkassFacade on purpose]].

* Kyoya-senpai from ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub''. Dark hair, [[ScaryShinyGlasses glasses]], Tamaki as his [[ThePollyanna cheerful foil]], and intense snark? The other host club members call him the 'shadow king'.
* Ikuto from ''ShugoChara''. Amplified by him being five years older than the rest of the cast, and the PowerOfLove bit with Amu isn't even subtle-- giant, heart shaped IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight attacks anybody.

%%* Mamoru Takamura from ''HajimeNoIppo''.

* 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 pastimes with her friend G(a)linda and other characters.

%%* Edmond Dantes/Gankutsuou of {{Gankutsuou}}.
* Barnaby Brooks Jr. from ''TigerAndBunny'' graduates at the top of his class before entering the public eye with a bang, rises through the ranks of superheroes in a very short period of time, attracts fans and admirers wherever he goes. And he is in private a kind of a standoffish jerk. [[DefrostingIceQueen He eventually gets better, though]].

%%* Tokiya Mikagami from ''FlameOfRecca'', although he has [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair light blue hair]] ([[AdaptationDyeJob or light brown, if you're watching the anime]]).
