Narnia has enough to be a World of Snark.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: As Jadis' wolves drag a Good Narnian fox and throw him in front of her and Edmund:
Jadis: Nice of you to drop in. You were so helpful to my wolves last night, perhaps you can help me now.
Fox: Forgive me, Your Majesty.
Jadis: Oh, don't waste my time with flattery.
Fox: Not to seem rude, but I wasn't actually talking to you.
Prince Caspian:
Peter Dinklage as Trumpkin fulfills this role beautifully, pointing out just how ridiculously most of the other characters are behaving, and generally saying what audience members are thinking.
Lucy angrily tells her siblings to "Stop talking like grown-ups!" in the same film.
Trumpkin: I am a grown-up.
High King Peter has a moment of his own when Caspian expresses shock at the ancient kings' and queens' youth.
Peter: We could go away and come back again in a few years.
Skandar Keynes as Edmund has traits of this, as well.
Edmund is actually the biggest snarker in the series. His line of snarky replies is quite long and some of them have practically become popular on the internet:
Susan: Besides, we could all use the fresh air.
Edmund: It's not like there isn't air inside.
And:
Peter: Is it Latin?
Edmund: Is it Latin for worst game ever invented?
Also:
Lucy: Weren't you wondering where I was?
Edmund: That's the point. That was why he was seeking you.
In the second part:
Susan: Pretend you're talking to me.
Edmund: We are talking to you.
After Susan and Caspian's kiss:
Lucy: I'm sure when I'm older, I'll understand.
Edmund: I'm older and I don't think I want to understand.
To Peter:
Edmund: I know...you had it sorted.
When talking to Miraz:
Miraz: This is not a question of bravery.
Edmund: So you're bravely refusing to fight a swordsman half your age.
And in the third part, he's actually in his full Deadpan Snarker mode.
Reepicheep: (about Eustace) He's quite the complainer, isn't he?
Edmund: He's just warming up.
To Eustace:
Edmund: I have the right to tell your father it was you who stole aunt Alberta's sweets.
Eustace: Liar!
Edmund: Oh, really? I found them under your bed. And you know what? I licked every one of them.
When rolling in:
Soldier: Are you sure you're 18?
Edmund: Why, do I look older?
Reepicheep has one awesome moment of snark.
Pattertwig: We can collect nuts!
Reepicheep: Yes! And throw them at the Telmarines! glares at Pattertwig Shut up!
Reepicheep also has this:
Soldier: You...are a mouse!
Reepicheep: You people are so unoriginal.
He follows it up with "Yes, I know. I am a mouse" to someone else.
Susan has her moments herself.
Peter: But the Beaver says he knows Lucy's faun.
Susan: He's a Beaver. He shouldn't be saying anything!
