i think this is slightly too narrow/specific of a trope since it only exists in web videos. i'd put it most closely as a roundabout form of Lemony Narrator
An editor, usually not a top-billing character in a webseries or Lets Play, who nonetheless offers snarky commentary and banter, often at the expense of (or the request of) the stars of the show. Sometimes does not speak directly to the audience or cast (instead using on-screen text). Often becomes an Ensemble Darkhorse for the series. Mostly confined to Web Original series.
Prominent examples would include Barry, Kevin, and Matt and Ryan from Game Grumps; and Lixian from Markiplier's web videos.
Does something like this exist as a trope?
