* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had Bart caught up in this trope when performing for the Olympic committee. Bart's stand-up comedy act consists almost entirely of him making jokes directly insulting the committee member's nationalities. When Chalmers demands to know what could have possibly made Skinner think putting this act on was a good idea, all a chuckling Skinners can say is "it was good in rehearsal". He quickly catches on, though, when Bart asks Chalmers where he grew up and Chalmers responds with a string of ludicrously obvious set-ups to punch lines.

** One episode had Kyle paying Cartman not to make jokes at the expense of his sterotypically-jewish (Woody Allen UpToEleven) visiting relative. Less than five minutes pass and Cartman makes a pun about the Holocaust.

* In ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' toons in general (and Roger in particular) appear to be compelled by biology into making jokes. Roger, as an example, can't resist completing "ShaveAndAHaircut," even when he's hiding from the very person who is setting him up. Although on the bright side, he can also escape from handcuffs...if it's the punchline to a joke.

Data never compulsively made jokes like this entry makes it sound. Nor did the emotion chip malfunction. (He *did* have some initial trouble adjusting to suddenly having emotions, but that's it.) I honestly don't know where any of this entry is coming from.

* ''Film/StarTrekGenerations''. Upon activating his emotion chip, Data is forced into enacting this trope, uncontrollably making bad jokes about everything. This seriously annoys Geordi, until he realizes Data's compulsive joking is being caused by the emotion chip malfunctioning.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' provides the canonical example of Harry Dresden, as well as, to a lesser extent, Tony Stark. There's also Doctor Strange, whose phasers are pretty much constantly set to snark, and who is more or less unfazed by anything and everything, including the imminent possible end of the universe, and seems not to take anything seriously. [[BewareTheSillyOnes This makes people underestimate him, which is usually a lethally bad idea.]] However, one thing he consistently takes seriously/treats with respect is the death of a child, and when something ''does'' make him stop snarking, it is invariably extremely serious.
** Harry Potter (later, Thorson), develops this habit, [[StepfordSnarker partly as a coping mechanism]], partly for his own amusement, and like his namesake, mouths off to anyone and anything he can.
