Be Careful What You Wish For: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'': In one episode, Garfield found a wishing well and wished there were no more mondays. At first, when he learned the wish became true, he was happy. A few weeks later, Garfield felt the drawbacks of a world without mondays: the streets were full of garbage because garbagemen only came at Mondays; gyms that used to be open for all days of the week were closed; movie theaters never showed new movies because they only changed their movies at Mondays; Jon couldn't buy more food because he always received his paychecks at Mondays; and he always made lasagna at Mondays. Being a [[Big Eater]], the two last bits were what horrified Garfield the most. He then returned to the wishing well, desperately asking for the Mondays to be back. The well refused and threatened to remove other stuff, until the well's mother, who revealed they were actually aliens who look like wells, forced him to restore everything back to normal. Garfield then started loving Mondays. At least until he was reminded of why he hated them in the first place.

* ''[[Aladdin (1992 Disney film)| Aladdin: The Series]]'': In "Do the Rat Thing", Jasmine tries to prove to Aladdin that she can survive the way he did originally by dressing up as a "street rat" (much the way she did at the beginning of the first movie) and going to the bad part of town, dragging Iago with her this time. She manages to steal something - a mirror, which she has no idea is able to grant wishes. After getting away with it, she looks at her reflection in it and declares herself a "street rat", while Iago sarcastically adds, "If you're a street rat, [[And I'm the Queen of Sheba| I'm a frilled lizard!]]" and then the mirror's magic kicks in, [[Baleful Polymorph|turning her into an actual rat and him into a frilled lizard]]. Worse, the mirror itself shatters because she drops it when it happened, making it unusable as a solution to the problem, and worse yet, humans can't understand what they are saying anymore, meaning they are ''entirely'' on their own. The whole rest of the episode consists of the two of them trying to make it back to the palace without getting stepped on or otherwise killed so they could get Genie to break the spell, which is ''not'' easy.
