Witty in a sarcastic, kind of in-your-face way. Yet still meant as a playful joke to prove an obvious point.
Jonathan Clements is really snarky. If he has to explain something, he'll type it into Google and press the Staples "Easy" button.

Firstly, the following definition is anything but accurate:
"
March 26, 2007 Urban Word of the Day
A witty mannerism, personality, or behavior that is a combination of sarcasm and cynicism. Usually accepted as a complimentary term. Snark is sometimes mistaken for a snotty or arrogant attitude.
Her snarky remarks had half the room on the floor laughing and the other half ready to walk out. "
This definition is ironically highly endemic of snarkiness. Only a snark would say that being a snark is a good thing at all.
In fact its quite obvious that someone who behaves in a snarky manner and views their own behavior self-righteously wrote this.
By definition "snarky" is derogatory.
It means to not give the "principle of charity" (google that) to things others say which you disagree with, and in fact specifically withhold it as much as is humanly possible. It means to make straw men out of everything said you disagree with, and then pompously ridiculing the strawman you've errected in place of what was actually said, but acting like it was the actual thing said when your dishonest tactics are addressed. It means, not only being sarcastic, but being self righteous, condescending, and pompous. It means not accurately seeing things, and instead having them skewed by your desires, your ego, etc.

A euphemism for "mean" and / or "scathingly sarcastic" that purports to render innocuous and socially acceptable what are in reality very rude and inconsiderate comments.
When I told Sandy that her face was garbage, I wasn't actually being mean and bitingly sarcastic, I was being *snarky,* so it's totally okay.

Snarky proper noun: Nickname for the delivery of Amazon products arriving on your front porch whose box bears the amazon-logo smiley face, which upon closer inspection resembles more of a sneer to remind you about the overarching regret you feel for possessing the combination of traits that make said delivery so commonplace: late-night impulsiveness, general laziness, and smugness for being a Prime member.
“Can you grab all the shit off the porch on your way in? Looks like snarky came again”
“Did you order anything lately honey? Looks like snarky took a dump on the porch again.”
