Oh man, you said that better than I could have, but yeah. The jerk part of the equation has to be at least partially justified by the circumstances in order for it to work. Haymitch in Hunger Games works. Sherlock in Sherlock? Just an asshole because he can be. (There's a lot of gray between those two examples.)

There's also a subset of the trope that I like, which is "jerkass according to the narrator, but they're biased." A lot of curmudgeonly characters in family media fall into this category, since they're usually less "assholes" and more "not perpetually happy like everyone else. May have seen some shit."
