His sarcasm has gone so far that in "The Test", he actively decides to hold back his "Gumballisms" so he can become popular. [[BodyHorror The results]] aren't pretty.

* Grunkle Stan from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' is one of these. Very witty and usually the first to poke fun at the "object of ridicule". [[Characters/GravityFallsDipperPines Dipper Pines]] seems to take after him in this regard, as he often puts in his own dry remarks in response to the silliness that happens around him.

** Almost every character (except [[DumbBlonde Lindsay]]) becomes a DeadpanSnarker over time [[ComedicSociopathy due to the suffering they go through on a daily basis]] but Noah, Duncan, Gwen and Leshawna are the most prominent examples.

* Everyone in ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' gets sarcastic from time to time, but the title character Gumball Watterson takes the cake for this trope from Season 2 onwards. His sarcasm has gone so far that in "The Test", he actively decides to hold back his "Gumballisms" so he can become popular. [[BodyHorror The results]] aren't pretty.

** Roger The Alien is a textbook example of this trope. He is best defined for his sarcastic and wisecracking behavior, even through tons of personas that he uses. His high eccentricity and unpredictability make him very prone to making sarcastic comments amongst the Smith family.
** Stan Smith has his moments of this on occassion

** Sokka initially fit this role like a glove, but as time went on, he [[CharacterDevelopment developed]] into actually being the one to make the plans.

** Toph came in and was able to successfully fulfill, if not surpass him in, this role. The creators actually comment on the DVDCommentary that she took the place Sokka had before [[ThrowItIn he shifted to a livelier character from his voice-actor's performance]].

** Fry has his moments.

* [[GrumpyOldMan Grunkle Stan]] from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' is one of these. Very witty and usually the first to poke fun at the "object of ridicule". [[TheComicallySerious Dipper]] seems to take after him in this regard, as he often puts in his own dry remarks in response to the silliness that happens around him.

** Batman and Green Lantern at times, especially in later seasons.

** Candace, although, most of the time, she's not so much "deadpan" as "[[NoIndoorVoice very LOUD]]":

** Doofenshmirtz himself also has his moments.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': Rick Sánchez is a sarcastic and snarky mad scientist who frequently takes his grandson Morty on wacky misadventures across the universe and other dimensions. He has a deadpan opinion on school and he frequently makes sarcastic comments all the time, even in deadly situations.

* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' tends to get a few good lines occasionally:

** Lisa often fills this role, especially when interacting with the severely less intelligent Bart and Homer. While Lisa tended to take concern in Homer or Bart's dilemmas in earlier seasons, she has become more sarcastic in the current seasons.
** Bart can also act in this role when dealing with Homer's more harebrained schemes. It's often this type of aside that brings on [[RunningGag the strangulation gag]].

** Eric Cartman is unequivocally ''the'' most famous and iconic Deadpan Snarker in cartoon history.
** In the later episodes, Stan has a habit of pinching the bridge of his nose and sighing when another character does something stupid. He often exclaims "Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here" and, in "Child Abduction is Not Funny", he remarks to Kyle, "Dude, sometimes I think our parents are really stupid," and as they rejoin their families at the conclusion of the episode, "Jesus Christ, dude, they've done some stupid crap before, but, Jesus Christ...".

** Squidward is arguably the biggest one on the show, being prone to scathing sarcasm, mostly towards [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick.

** Patrick sometimes makes cutting remarks in the earlier episodes, and occasionally the later ones, but not as frequently.
** [=SpongeBob=] himself has his moments of making sarcastic remarks, mostly in the pre-first movie seasons.

** Obi-Wan. If anything, he's even deadpan ''snarkier'' in the show than he was in the movies. For instance, from [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E4DestroyMalevolence "Rising Malevolence"]]:

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Lapis Lazuli is this.
** Garnet also has her moments.

** Raven, sometimes even to the point of [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Moment of Funny]]:

** Cyborg has his moments, too.

** Even [[BigBad Megatron]] has his moments of snarking.

** [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 The 2003 series]] version of Raphael is no slouch in the snark department either.

* Everyone in ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' gets sarcastic from time to time, but the title character Gumball Watterson takes the cake for this trope from Season 2 onwards.
