snarky

Origins: Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" (1874)

Witty sarcasm, used to belittle someone or something without becoming ad hominem. Also used to describe practical jokes of a particularly funny and sabotaging kind.

He was so snarky in his review of the movie, I lol'd, but the fanbois got butthurt.
