Harry Dresden: Are you kidding? As long as the wiseass is talking to someone else, people love 'em.
Oh, look. An index of tropes about sarcasm and sarcastic characters. Fantastic. Because we totally needed one of those.
Compare Insult Tropes for the immature and uncreative version. As if checking them out will enlarge some little brains out there.
Oh wonderful! These tropes should be fun!:
