Snarker

In movies, I love the type of line which is given in a totally deadpan voice and is still meant to be funny.

"Captain, the enemy has just fired its lasers at us, and we've been hit!"
"No crap, Sherlock."

For some reason, these lines just strike me as funny. Weird, right? My favorite deadpan snarker is Hiccup from How To Train Your Dragon.

"But you just gestured to all of me!"
"Thank you for summing that up."
"Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile."

It only works if you imagine it in a deadpan voice. Classic.
