History DeadpanSnarker / Literature

-->''([[TheKlutz Rest]] claims that left the tailor's guild by himself)''

-->'''Veres:''' Shelena, I'm telling you for the tenth time...

** Her internal monologue is full of that as well:
--> ''He might be really good battle wizard in the future. After all, he was already quite good at running away from the monster, looking as if he was gracing it by it.''

-->''(After Shelena stomp on [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Darkness]]' tail, causing their task to be done with much ensuing hilarity)''

* Macon Ravenwood from ''Literature/TheCasterChronicles''.

* A few have turned up in the ''Literature/SixteenThirtyTwo'' series, notably including ''Kniaz'' Vladimir Gorchakov of Muscovy (Russia) from ''1636: The Kremlin Games'':
-->'''Vladimir:''' I see a problem. No one is going to be all that surprised that you happened to be visiting your cousin while I came seeing about a loan ... once. But if we keep meeting like this, what will it do to my reputation as a titled nonentity? People might stop talking to me. That would be a disaster for me and inconvenient for you.

* There [[WorldOfSnark literally is no character]] in the ''HIVESeries'' who appears more than once has this. Every. Single. One. The only characters who don't, Block and Tackle, give an honest effort and come up with comments that are only moderately witty, to highlight their stupidity.

* ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'': Jace Wayland.
** Clary Fray drifts into this sometimes.
** Simon is one of the snarkiest in the books. And that's saying something.
** Valentine Morgenstern.
** Magnus too. [[WorldOfSnark Pretty much every character has their moments.]]
** Special mention goes to Alec. He somehow manages to snark despite [[DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm not understanding sarcasm.]]

* Aphrodite and Rephaim from ''Literature/TheHouseOfNight''.

* [[BerniceSummerfield Professor Bernice Surprise Summerfield]] in the Literature/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse. In ''No Future'', for instance, she dismisses the Vardans based on their only TV appearance.

* Will... most notably, in ''Literature/TheInfernalDevices''. But also, Tessa, Jem and Jessamine.
** Sophie should get a special mention.

* Will... most notably in ''Literature/InfernalDevices''. But also, Tessa, Jem and Jessamine.

'''Artemis''': It can play solitaire and minesweeper.

* From George R. R. Martin's fine pen for snide and funny comments comes ''ASongOfIceAndFire''. There are [[WorldOfSnark many, many fine snarkers]] in this work. For the sheer quantity of the deadpan variety of snark, we have the two Lannister boys (in order of volume) Tyrion and Jaime as the best exemplars. But, for sheer ''quality'', it's the more minor character Dolorous Edd who arguably shines the brightest. Although Oberyn Martell ''does'' also counts as a quality DeadpanSnarker as well, Edd pips him easily on the subversive sharpness of the wit. Nobody out-deadpans him. Still, it's a rare character in this series who doesn't get a [[OneLiner snappy line]] or two... [[AvertedTrope not looking at you]], Lancel Lannister (kid could do neither snappy if you covered him in lizard-lions, nor dry if you stuck him in the middle of Dorne).

* ''Literature/TheReynardCycle'': Reynard snarks so much that he engages in WittyBanter even when he is fighting for his life. It generally annoys the heck out of his enemies. When he stops doing this it's usually a bad sign.

* Haymitch Abernathy from Leterature/TheHungerGames is one of the biggest deadpan snarkers in the novel alongside Katniss and Johanna.
