Deadpan Snarker / The Chronicles of Narnia

Go To

  • Narnia has enough to be a World of Snark.
    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:
    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!
