Played by David Foley in a "Kids in the Hall" skit:

You have to see/hear the skit to fully appreciate it.
My point in adding this page:
- The skit is funny
- Shows how harmful sarcasm can be if taken to extremes
I don't understand how BrutalSarcasm could ever be useful when communicating with a fellow programmer. What is wrong with just saying - "this is the wrong way to do this and here's why"?
Use of BrutalSarcasm puts you dangerously close to falling into this category: MicromanagingSadist -- RachelStruthers
There was a similar character on TheMaryWhitehouseExperience (a UK comedy series of the early '90s), called Ray (first seen on 1992-03-09), who was afflicted with a permanent sarcastic tone of voice. It's an easy joke, but it was actually very funny.
