You wouldn't like taking orders from some pompous rich higher up for an occupation. In turn, neither do the characters written this way. This trope espouses that the only way to tolerate their occupation of servitude is to snark at your employer for all it's worth. After all, they Can't Live Without You. Also, some employers genuinely enjoy the banter or value the valet's second opinion. Some might even consider them a member of the family, and know that there's genuine love behind the mocking. Examples of Servile Snarker include:

The Servile Snarker is a combination of a Deadpan Snarker and The Jeeves (although the original Jeeves, as the above quote shows, can be pretty snarky). A butler, maid, slave, servant, whatever, who is heavily sarcastic to their master and/or their master's guests and yet still manages to keep their job. Often a master of the Stealth Insult. See Sassy Secretary for another variation of this character. You might also want to see Sarcastic Devotee, No Hero to His Valet and Honest Advisor. Examples of Servile Snarker include:
