You know that OB1 wasn't friendly with some other aliens: Why do I sense we picked up another pathetic lifeform?
But even QGJ isn't that friendly: You almost got us killed are you brainless? and The ability to speak does not make you intelligent, now get out of hear.
I didn't think it was a joke. He was more bemused that Qui-Gon was slowing them down again by picking someone up.
In the ROTJ script there were a few lines that were dropped where Obi-Wan said that his arrogance was one of the reasons he lost Anakin, so Lucas always had that trait in mind for the character.
He IS arrogant:
"Why do I sense we picked up another pathetic lifeform?"
"What's this?"
As the two most important examples:
The first thing: that is NOT sarcasme!!!
The second sentense: I thought when you refer to a human, in this case Jar Jar, you use Who ???
Who's this and not What's this
I Qui-gon and Obi-wan both get upset when they arn't drinking.
No, seriously. Obi-wan is a punk kid. He learned from his master. Remember the look on his face when Qui-Gon introduced him to Anakin? He just smiled and shook Ani's hand like"Yeah, whatever"

Indeed. I am sorry, yerssot, but I am no sure if you have mastered english language sarcasm. it tends to be done straight. Watch a bit of John Cleese in action and you will see what I mean.

Oh come on you guys, give Yersott a break, he speaks like 42 languages! Weather is was sarcasm or arrogance, Obi-Wan shouldn't have been so snotty! He should have some better manners! hmph!
Whatever Kenobi meant, it doesn't matter. If it was meant to be funny, Lucas needs more writers. TPM was not funny. The next two films need humor that Han Solo brought to the screen. Not that puss Binks
If you make a joke even when you're deathserious you see at the face that he makes a joke.
OK, it doesn't look death serious, but remember that there are 2 suns shining in his face.
The only funny moment in TPM was when R2 commented that 3PO was naked. GL cant write scripts, he needs to leave that to the professionals!!!!!!! That 'Are you an angel?' bit, Oh please!!!! I rest my case!!!!
