== [[Theatre]] ==
* Showing that this trope predated the Genie and is [[Older Than Steam]], Robin Goodfellow, the fae creature who goes by the nickname "Puck", demonstrates these qualities minus the duplication in ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream]]''. He goes around commenting on the humans' and fairies' situations, sometimes messing with them on orders of King Oberon. While he didn't intend to turn Lysander and Hermia against each other, he can't help but snicker at the fireworks. The play famously ends with him addressing the audience saying that if they did not like the play, to pretend that it was all a dream. Sadly, he doesn't sing.
* ''[[Beetlejuice (theatre)|Beetlejuice]]'' emulates the genie in his titular show. He breaks the fourth wall in his first lines by commenting how Lydia's emotional ballad is "Such a bold departure from the original source material!" He also duplicates himself in the second act to liven up things.
* Though the Lady of the Lake in ''[[Spamalot]]'' doesn't duplicate herself, she does have a [[Girl Posse]] of Laker Girls that follow her lead where she goes. She makes references to Britney Spears and Betty Fords in "Diva's Lament" while breaking the fourth wall to help Arthur and Patsy on their quest to put on a Broadway musical.
