* The Viscount of Kirkwall in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' (and the ''Trespasser'' DLC of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'') has Seneschal Bran, who is a male version of this trope. He functions as a secretary and personal assistant, and although he more or less reins in the sass when dealing with his boss, he delivers it in spades to everyone else, including the player characters.
* Mallory from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' is a good example; often taking the wind out of Roman's sails when he tries to boast or scheme.



* In the first dream world of ''VideoGame/{{Obsidian}}'', the first [[TvHeadRobot Vidbot]] you meet is this, exaggerated to the point that she's as much of an ObstructiveBureaucrat as every other employee. [[spoiler: When you start breaking the Bureau's rules at the end of the level, you get to literally walk over her in the process.]]
* In ''VideoGame/TheSpaceBar'', the main character has a PDA with a "female" AI called Zelda that emulates one of these. She snarks at him whenever he does something stupid (like trying to operate his fingerprinter without opening it), and sometimes makes sarcastic quips to him about the information he reads or the people he's interrogating.
* Barbara Stiles in ''VideoGame/{{Scratches}}'' is your secretary, who plays around with you a bit when you first call her. She also has a knack for studying languages.

* In ''Film/LadyOnATrain'', Miss Fletcher is Wayne Morgan's secretary. She does not think very much of his writing and is not afraid to tell him so in a Deadpansnarker fashion. When he tells her to take the latest chapters and type them up, she replies "Did you say 'tear them up'?"
