Line 96:
* ''[[Gravity Falls]]'' shows with Bill Cipher that if you make a character like the Genie into the [[Big Bad]], he will be a crowd-pleaser. Bill shows repeatedly that [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You]], that he knows Time Baby from a [[Bad Future]] for humanity, and that people love his hammy nature. Also, he will possess your body and use it to fall down a flight of stairs, [[For the Evulz]], if you make a deal with him.
* Discord from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]''. As the God of Chaos, he not only has complete [[Medium Awareness]], but his potent [[Reality Warping]] abilities extend to the fourth wall, meaning he can ''manipulate'' the fourth wall itself. Not only can he address the viewers as easily as he does the Mane Cast, he can change the art style (to say, anime or CG-animation), change the genre, rewind or fast-forward the story, or (in comic book adaptations) rewrite captions. Thank goodness he was only a [[Villain of the Week]] in Season 2, and Fluttershy succeeded in reforming him. ''And'' much like Genie himself does, he tends to make jokes with pop culture references that, by all logic, should be unknown in Equestria, like to [[Bob Ross]] and ''[[Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas]]''. But hey, such are the ways of Chaos.
* ''[[Drawn Together]]'' had a Genie parody (while also making references to [[Robin Williams]]' past roles) in "Gay Bash", where Xandir tries to wish to not be gay. The Genie is insulted by this, which leads him to run off while telling Xandir he is better off accepting his gay feelings. After talking it out, the Genie reveals himself to be gay as well, and they fall in love, becoming boyfriends. However, Lord Slashstab (Xandir's [[Arch Enemy]]), takes his lamp and leads him into a neverending quest to save his boyfriend.
