Becoming the Genie: Difference between revisions

* ''[[I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle]]'' uses this trope as the basic premise - two friends find an empty genie bottle, and when one of them--ironicallythem—ironically named Jean--opensJean—opens it, he becomes the bottle's new (biologically female) genie. Jean is initially very resistant to the requirements of geniedom (since Jean is now more or less a slave), which tends to get him in trouble with higher-ranking genies that enforce the rules.
