Line 73:
* Unsurprisingly, ''Aladdin'' both in its Broadway and California Adventures incarnations would have Genie in full ham mode. Like the movie version, he breaks the fourth wall, makes anachronistic jokes, and duplicates himself. He can also summon backup dancers on a dime.
* Showing that this trope predated the Genie and is [[Older Than Steam]], Robin Fellow 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.
