Wishplosion: Difference between revisions

* One ''[[The Smurfs]]'' short had a [[Literal Genie]] (who doubles as a prankster trickster), first controlled by Gargamel and then by Papa Smurf. Papa orders the "Genie Meanie" to first undo all the tricks it had performed that day, and his last command to it is to stay in its bottle until it can learn to stop being mean.

* In an old ''[[Sinbad the Sailor]]'' cartoon, a genie's last wish will determine whether he is good or evil. The villains have used up the first wish, so the hero is in a quandary. Wishing the villains dead counts as evil, so how can he stop them? He wishes that "none of this ever happened", which counts as a good wish.

* ''[[Extreme Ghostbusters]]'' presented a [[Logic Bomb]] for an evil genie, "I wish you won't grant this wish."

* ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' had Timmy getting three more wishes that need to solve everything, against a malevolent genie that was thousands of years old and knew how to twist any wish into something horrible. Timmy, realizing he needed someone as conniving as Norm (the genie), wishes for a lawyer, and he made a wish in the form of a giant contract that would reverse everything that was done and couldn't possibly be read any other way.
