* ''[[Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier]]'', the Team Starkid parody, manages to make the Captain of the Guards even a bigger jerk than Razoul is in the ''Aladdin'' series, and that's saying something! Razoul hates Aladdin for being a thief and a troublemaker but he has a healthy respect for the Sultan and Jafar, at least until the latter is outed as a traitor. He also eventually warms up to Aladdin when the latter team up in the television spinoff. The Captain of the Guard keeps critiquing Ja'farJafar's way of leadership, saying "This is all Ja'farJafar's fault!" and saying that the vizier's 2Ds department was executed because they weren't producing anything. (Ja'farJafar admits he has a point by nodding his head sadly.) His redeeming moments are his legitimate concern for the men killed at Aladdin's hands directly or indirectly, as well as for the Princess. When finding the Princess at the hideout, the Captain's first concern is ensuring the Princess wasn't hurt or assaulted before arresting Aladdin, and admonishing her for how stupid she was to trust the first stranger that took her home.
