I think this thing has been getting a little bit of a snarl recently, and that many of the examples are, and never were, deadpan. Deadpan is having almost no inflection or indication of a joke being present. It would cut the page down to almost nothing if we eliminated all the examples that weren't actually deadpan, so I propose that we simply change the name to "Snarker."

This is a topic for the Trope Repair Forum. It would be better to zap the bad examples than to change the definition. When a definition starts chasing the examples, it is a clear sign that another trope is present.

Can you do that for me? I'm really not too big on the whole troping thing.

My interpretation was that the term deadpan refers to either the character maintaining a straight face while s/he says a witty remark or the sarcasm of said remark. I personally agree that the definition should not be changed, but I also think that most examples fit the trope and shouldn't have another trope made just for them.

Well... Can someone do a "Widepan Snarker" or "Fade-out Snarke"? Since I suppose that the title is defined by the panning of the camera?

I'm not sure that a character having one moment of deadpan snarkiness should earn them a place on this page, but it seems like it does. Am I dreaming?

I'm not sure where to put image picking discussion...But that image REALLY needs to go. It's just so ugly.

Any reason why the caption on the picture keeps changing?

I've see it change a total of 5 times. We should pick something and stick with it.
