* In the ''Literature/TheOtherKindOfRoommate'', Terry is both {{The Mean Brit}} director of Beth's home base art gallery and her ex from a year ago. They get along well professionally, with plenty of {{Snark Ball}} passes between each other and even some {{Big Brother Instinct}}, but there are clear reasons for why the two broke up when the topic turns to Beth's new interests. '''Characters Are Snarky''

Added DiffLines:

* Recap.DoctorWhoS6E4TheKrotons: The Second Doctor, who is usually compassionate, easy-going and as modest as the Doctor ever gets, has one stuffed down his throat by Creator/RobertHolmes and spends most of the serial playing InsufferableGenius, subtly mocking the Krotons and Jamie and bickering with Zoe over whether he knows how to do everything or not. This has the effect of moving his characterisation to be quite close to the Fourth Doctor's, a character Holmes was pivotal in creating. '''Sounds fitting.'''
* Recap.LittlePrincessS1E14IWantATrumpet: The Maid is usually quite refined, but when the Princess startles her with her bad music and asks, "Don't you like music?", she delivers the burn, "I like it when I hear it."
* Recap.NumberjacksS1E40AlmostHuman: Four, a usually polite four-year-old, says, "Oh, great" at one point. '''I guess this fits?'''
* Recap.NumberjacksS1E7SevenWonders: Seven, despite being usually mild-mannered, ironically agrees with the Puzzler's statement that they had fun. '''Same with this one.'''
* Recap.PegPlusCatS1E3TheMessyRoomProblem: The usually-sincere Cat says, "Yeah, right" to express disbelief.


Added DiffLines:

* Recap.DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth: Barbara and Susan get taken in from wandering around unprotected by [[LaResistance the Resistance against the Daleks]], and their leader presses them on their useful skills. He asks Barbara if she can cook - she says she can get by - and then asks Susan what she does, who replies "'''[[SnarkBall I eat]]'''". In response, the leader clarifies that he's not asking for gender-based reasons - the resistance is just currently short on cooks. Susan's sarcasm is confirmed when we later see her cook an apparently delicious rabbit stew from a wild rabbit she hunted and prepared herself.
* Recap.PAPCAAMIPTCh37InTheEyeOfTheBeholder: During their play fight, the twins become a lot more banter-y than usual as part of the game. '''Characters are snarky during a snarky game.'''
* Recap.SouthParkS1E7Pinkeye: Dismissing claims of zombies, Officer Barbrady zings Chef's costume.


Added DiffLines:

* Recap.MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause: Quite capably fielded by Pinkie Pie when Twilight asked who would be better than AJ and Dash to teach a lesson on teamwork. You've read the quote twice already.
* Recap.PAPCAAMIPTCh31OhDeerPt2: Mrs. Cake says, "Just great" even though she doesn't normally talk like a rude high-schooler. '''This might be correct usage, but seems very exaggerated.'''
* Recap.PegPlusCatS1E26TheHalloweenProblem: Cat actually says, "Yeah, right" in a ''PBS Kids show''. '''Speaking of exaggerating...'''
* Recap.PegPlusCatS1E39TheStraightAndNarrowProblem: The phrase "Yeah, right" is actually said in a PBS Kids show (by Cat). '''Second verse, same as the first.'''

Added DiffLines:

* WorldOfSnark: Although Chandler is known as the Deadpan Snarker of the gang, the rest of the characters (apart from maybe Joey, and even he has his SnarkBall moments) would be extremely snarky on any other show. It's just hard to notice because 90% of his dialogue is snark, while everyone else only manages a weak 80%. '''Correct use; Joey is the resident idiot, so him being snarky fits this trope.'''

Added DiffLines:

* LetMeGetThisStraight: The English dub of ''[[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone]]'' tries to use this to cover up for an AsYouKnow in the original script -- Ritsuko had explained Misato's plan ''to Misato'' just so the audience could hear it. The dub makes it smoother by having Ritsuko take up the SnarkBall and say something to the effect of "Let me get this straight: your plan is to [exposition goes here]? ''That's'' not crazy at ''all.'' '''From this amount of context, I'm not sure if Ritsuko is in-character here.'''
* Film.BlazingSaddles: Mongo (having just been used to give Rock Ridge one heck of a load of exposition) looks right at the screen and intones solemnly, [[spoiler:"Mongo only pawn, in game of life."]] '''This doesn't even seem very snarky to me, and it's lacking a lot of context.'''
