Line 52:
* One ''[[The Simpsons (Comic Book)|Simpsons Comic]]'' story, "Ala-diddly-addin and His Magic Lamp", features Ned Flanders as Aladdin and Homer as a Jackass Genie. When Aladdin wishes for his dead wife to be alive again, the genie pulls the classic trick and brings her back as a living skeleton. He also interprets statements that are clearly not wishes as wishes.
* During the the Inferno [[Crisis Crossover]] in Marvel Comics, the current Hobgoblin followed a group of demons to their lair, where he met their boss and offered up his soul in exchange for power. After he finishes laughing, the demon tells the Hobgoblin that his corrupt soul is worth nothing, but since he got a laugh out of this, decides to indulge his request for power... by fusing Hobby with a crazy [[Knight Templar]] demon outcast.
* In the first ''[[Excalibur (Comic Book)|Excalibur]]'' storyline, the team took on a band of alien mercenaries called Technet. One member of Technet, Joyboy, had the power to telepathically discern his victim's fondest wish and grant it in as unpleasant a way as possible. He was able to take out [[Intangible Man|Kitty Pryde]](who at this time had to concentrate to stay solid) by granting her wish for a solid body. A [[Fat Girl|five-hundred pound solid body]]. [[No Ontological Inertia|She reverted to normal once Joyboy was knocked

* [[Demon Lords and Archdevils|Mephisto]], closest thing to [[Satan]] in [[Marvel Universe]], may sometimes dwell into this. Recently he decided to play along popular [[Urban Legend]] that sometimes devil may visit a bar and, if bartender will provide him with a good service, he will grant him a wish. When bartender asked for immortality, Mephisto dragged him to Hell, extracted all his blood when grinding him like a fresh meat and used it as an ink to write letters. Words are immortal.

* Japan in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' [[Deconstruction]] fic ''Mistakes'' managed to Jackass Genie ''himself.'' He'd found out that his humans were [[World War Two|doing unspeakable things to his brothers]] and confronted his Prime Minister. Nation-tans have to obey orders from their human leaders. Under normal circumstances, "forget about them, we have bigger problems" would have been dismissed as a colloquialism, but Japan really, really wanted to forget that he'd played a part in getting his own brother raped. [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|So he did.]] China was not pleased.
