Jackass Genie	comment	A Jackass Genie is a djinn who will exploit every loophole in the book to grant the most nightmarish interpretation of your three wishes possible. Whereas a Literal Genie will make logical but basic interpretations of a wish—nothing more and nothing less than what the wish explicitly states—a Jackass Genie is specifically trying to make your life hell and claim that they are supposedly just doing their job. No matter what you wish for, the Jackass Genie will find a way to twist it so you end up worse off. Expect him to milk Exact Words and Metaphorically True for all they're worth. And taking the Literal Genie approach of making sure your wish is very specific is nothing but a trap. Unless you know a rule that he absolutely has to follow, he'll just move the goalposts and screw you over anyway: "You asked to be rich, you didn't ask for the money not to be the Mafia's..." Oftentimes the Jackass Genie just seems to be taking cheap shots at characters who are literally helpless before him. As a result, expect him to be the clear villain when he appears. The Literal Genie can be excused somewhat if they're just naturally ditzy or are trying to teach you a lesson about being careful what you wish for, but the Jackass Genie can lay no such claim. If there is any lesson to be learned with them, it might be "if an offer seems too good to be true, it is" — after all, this genie acts like a supernatural Con Man, and you always had the option to walk away and/or wish none of this ever happened. If you literally wish for the latter, however, don't be too surprised if the genie erases you from history. Morton's Fork may apply. Genie jackassery is a natural repercussion of the original mythologies, where most wish-granting djinn are faeries enslaved by sorcerers (usually this specific one) and are rather unhappy with their servitude. As such, they will take every opportunity to screw over their master. Genies following this tradition are basically sending An Aesop that "you shouldn't consort with magical beings, full stop" or "trust God to guide your life." note Another Aesop might be "Don't enslave sentient beings against their will," but given the time period... Nowadays that might be because "hard work is good for you" or "Wanting Is Better Than Having". Has nothing to do with fitting Johnny Knoxville in a bottle... or the other way round, knowing him. Compare with Deal with the Devil and Fairy Devilmother. Due to their common motivation, many of them are also Trolls.

He was promptly turned into a giant serpent because... the queen loves snakes.

Roger escapes being killed because he didn't know of the genie's existence or that the words to a song he liked to sing were indirectly summoning it, but the genie still twists his wishes so that his wish to become a famous movie star came with the catch of him being stuck in a permanent sidekick role to Baby Herman and his wish for Jessica to love him came with a one-year limit. And when Roger finally learns about the genie? He becomes very dead.

His wish-granting magic works like this trope (he even uses the term "Monkey's Paw" to describe it), but Prismo himself is a really nice guy who goes out of his way to explain the whole thing to Jake. He even ignores a stupid wish for a sandwich Jake makes, and then a knee-jerk, not-well-thought-out one he made upon realizing just how bad a situation Finn got himself into, and finally outright tells Jake a wish he could make that would save everyone.

Jackass Genie / int_1331990c	comment	Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Kyubey is a variation on this. While he grants wishes honestly and fully, he deliberately neglects to tell the wisher a few important details about the contract—specifically, that their soul will be removed from their body, and eventually they will become one of the monstrous witches they fight. The wishes people make are rarely, if ever, worth this level of sacrifice; and even if they were, his ultimate goal is to destroy all of human civilization to create energy for his own, making it all pointless from our perspective. Furthermore, the wishes themselves will always backfire- not that Kyubey has to do much, since the girls themselves will often make their wishes without really thinking about what they truly want: Mami, having been dying in a car crash, wished to survive and got her wish, but then realized she forgot to ask Kyubey to save her parents as well. Kyoko wished for people to listen to her priest father, who was ridiculed for his radical preaching. They did, but were basically brainwashed puppets. When the father found out, he snapped and killed her entire family and himself. Sayaka wished for Kyousuke to heal his wrist, allowing him to play the violin again. He does, but what she really wanted was to gain his love for it- only for him to ultimately end up with Hitomi instead. Homura wished for a chance to save Madoka from death, so Kyubey gave her the ability to turn back time- not telling her that Madoka is practically fated to die or become a witch, and turning back time to save her will only make her witch self even more powerful. Until the end of the series, where Madoka sends the jackassery back where it came from. Other works in the franchise include actual jackassery in the wish, though it also has elements of Literal Genie, and terrible coincidences making said wishes useless. For example, wishing to "disappear" from her own lack of self-worth, Magia Record's Sana instead continues living on. She has disappeared, i.e. become invisible, to those who aren't magical girls.

Depending on what the player has done in the game, he will make one of five possible wishes. All of them backfire. If he says "I want to be rich", he sees coins falling from the sky. In reality, the roof collapses and crushes him. If he says that "Humanity is corrupt and must be controlled", we see flashes of war, death, and other atrocities, then we see him left alone in a void. If he wishes for the Zone to disappear, we see him in a pristine countryside, but his eyes are blanked out. If he says "I want to be immortal", he turns into a statue. If he says "I want to rule the world", he's disintegrated and absorbed into the Monolith.

The classic version is: "So, more greedy mortals seeking a free wish. I'll give you one. Choose from one of the following wishes:- I wish to die.- I wish for my friends to die.- I wish I had never rubbed this lamp. Option 2 kills the character who rubbed the lamp (Die, selfish scum!). Option 3 results in "Hmmm. Granting that one would create a paradox. I had better just kill you all."

Jackass Genie / int_1b6cf356	comment	A rare heroic example: the djinn in the Rose of the Prophet trilogy generally don't do this because their masters have complete power over them as long as they hold their mortal dwelling place (lamp, basket, incense burner, etc.) and they're bound to use their magic to serve their masters completely rather than only granting a limited number of wishes. However when the lamp and basket of Sond and Pukah fall into the hands of the miserable Jerkass fisherman Meelusk, the two of them play him like a fiddle, throwing him into his fishing boat and hijacking it across the waters to rescue the heroes from the dread island fortress of the Paladins of Zhakrin, claiming they're fulfilling his unspoken wish to embrace heroism in battle against the Paladins. When he later attempts to assert his ownership of them and they're forced to admit they do actually have to obey him as long as he holds their dwellings, they grant his wishes — they give him "fine clothes" by swathing him in silks so thick he can't even move, "fine jewels" by weighing him down with heavy gold ornaments that bring him to his knees, then finally surrounding him with gorgeous adoring women that he distractedly starts groping. When Pukah, pretending to get carried away, shouts "A new lamp and a new basket for my master!" the distracted Meelusk absently shouts "Yes, yes!", dropping their dwellings and letting the hero Khardan pick them up again. Sond and Pukah promptly make everything vanish, "regretfully" tell him that he freely gave up ownership of them, then toss him back in his boat and shove him back out to sea to take his chances with the ghuls.

Jackass Genie / int_1beda93b	comment	Sluggy Freelance: In "Torg Potter and the Chamberpot of Secretions", the Djinn of the Chamberpot interprets every single wish someone makes as asking to be turned into a chocolate statue. The first two times it happens it's sort of a case of being a Literal Genie ("Could you make me some chocolate?" and "Make me irresistible to women"), but the third time, no-one even really makes a wish, they just shout "Oh good bloody hell!" The genie claims this is Viking for "Turn me into chocolate." When it's pointed out that the Vikings didn't have chocolate, he retorts, "But if they did they would have called it 'bloodyhell'." That said, this genie's special thing is that he'll grant you an actual proper wish on the second wish if you manage to get past the first one. The third wish is "witheld for tax purposes." Incidentally, the reason this all is in the story is to parody the implausibility of how in the original, a series of coincidences led to no-one ever being killed by the basilisk, even though just looking into its eyes was lethal. Time after time, the witness would happen to only see it in a mirror or similar, so rather than being killed outright, they would become paralysed instead, which could be safely reversed. In "That Which Redeems", there's a non-magical example that also confusingly combines it with Literal Genie (as in, a Literal Genie understanding it's asked to act as a Jackass Genie). Lord Horribus asks Dimension of Lame Riff to build him "something terrible", and it's only after several catastrophic attempts that he realizes Riff's inventions have not been working because he took it to mean "something that works terrible". And later, there are the demons Zefolas and Fezeel, who trick mortals to sell their souls for wishes. The first wish is always free, but the second will cost you... YOUR SOUL. You can imagine what the wishes they grant are like, especially the first wishes when they want you to make a second. They even like to grant wishes and make deals in their own realm, where they are almost omnipotent and can ignore any wish they like that might harm them, simply for sport. This allows them to take being Jackass Genies to the extreme since they don't even have to limit themselves to twisting wishes asked for if it's not convenient. The only way to beat them turns out to be to ask for wishes that they don't realize can be used against them, such as wishing for the blood of the innocent to drip from the walls while carrying a magic sword that can kill literally anything after feeding on innocent blood.

Jackass Genie / int_1cabb78d	comment	The Magic Goes Away: In "The Wishing Game", it is established that literal genies in a bottle do exist. They can only be coaxed out of the bottle with the promise to play the 'game of jynn', where they match wits with the human that freed them. So presenting the client human with three wishes, and placing some kind of sadistic twist to the request is their only motivation to grant wishes in the first place. Granted, the only persons that can gain possession of a genie are some very old and canny sorcerers, who believe they can outwit the genie. So at least there is sport in this contest. This genie was a cross between a Jackass Genie and a Literal Genie, in that he cannot change the original wish or add on to it, and that the game has a very specific goal: to grant the wisher nothing in the end. So one previous, not-so-clever, non-sorcerous player of the game wished for "wealth", so the genie granted enormous wealth on the spot, such that the wisher could not carry it away before bandits stole it. However, the genie had to rely on already nearby bandits, and the genie only partially won because the man grabbed some of the wealth and ran since the wish neither allowed for creating bandits from nothing nor sealing away the wealth so the man couldn't reach it.

But what really takes the cake is that they can sign off on wishes without permission, request, or even awareness; when you fight Riven, she senses that youâ€™re fighting to cleanse the Dreaming City of a Taken curse and regards that as a â€œwishâ€�, breaking the curse for you... and then promptly starts the curse again due a wish one of the Hive gods made before you even got there.

Puck — the trickster fairy from A Midsummer Night's Dream — is captured by Demona and forced to do her bidding.

In the climax, Aladdin tricks Jafar into wishing to be "the most powerful being in the universe," and Genie uses that ambiguity to make him into a genie bound to a lamp, as opposed to the original where Jafar just wished to be a genie without considering the ramifications.

Jackass Genie / int_1f0bc3d3	comment	The Bog Roosh, a mermaid-witch from Hellboy: The Third Wish. Three mermaids perform a task for her in exchange for a wish for each. The first wishes to be reunited with her lover. The Bog Roosh informs her that said lover is dead, then raises him as a zombie; he promptly attacks and kills the mermaid. The second mermaid wishes she could breath air and for legs, so she can be united with the human she loves. The Bog Roosh grants this immediately; as they're at the bottom of the ocean, the ex-mermaid drowns. The third mermaid wishes for a lost spear, so she can return it to the grave of her father. The Bog Roosh summons the lost spear from the depths of the ocean, and the mermaid safely swims away to deliver it. Apparently, the Bog Roosh is a misanthrope who hates romance, but she respects someone who cares for their parents. The third mermaid arguably suffers an even worse fate than her sisters. For no readily apparent reason, returning the spear to her father's grave condemns him to Hell, and when Hellboy kills the Bog Roosh, the mermaid has to take her place. It is more than likely the Bog Roosh knew the girl's father would hate the fact that she sacrificed Hellboy for the sake of a lost object and would condemn her for it, his Hell being the shame and disgrace of his daughter's actions. So yeah, Bog Roosh is a jackass genie through and through.

Jackass Genie / int_261c8d3f	comment	The first segment of The Simpsons Halloween special "Treehouse of Horror II" involved the Simpson family acquiring the classic Monkey's Paw; which eventually resulted in the entire town of Springfield hating the Simpsons for becoming famous to the point of overexposure, an invasion of Earth by Kang and Kodos after Lisa wishes for world peace, and Homer getting a turkey sandwich where the turkey was a little too dry. Strangely enough, when Homer offloads the Monkey's Paw to Flanders, he wishes away the alien invasion, is heralded as a hero, and remodels his home into a castle, without any obvious repercussions whatsoever.

Jackass Genie / int_28486597	comment	Aladdin: The Return of Jafar: Jafar, when Abis Mal initially tries to demand his wishes from Jafar instead of wanting to cooperate with him, demonstrates this trope when Abis Mal asks for a legendary sunken treasure. Jafar promptly brings Abis Mal to the treasure...at the bottom of the sea, and forces him to make a second wish to save him. That particular scene is also a very interesting Call-Back: The original Aladdin also had a scene of the genie saving his master from drowning at the cost of a wish, at a time when said master was incapable of wishing. The main differences are that Genie saved an unconscious Aladdin from an assassination attempt out of kindness (and he only counted it as a wish because he'd already declared "No more freebies" after Al tricked him into getting him out of the Cave of Wonders without expending a wish), while Jafar deliberately put Abis Mal in the ocean and then wasted the wish so he could further manipulate Abis into following his agenda. Later in the movie, Abis Mal muses out loud about wishing for a famous treasure chest of some mythical king. Jafar (who is trying to pressure Abis into setting him free) traps him inside the chest, just to remind him what'll happen if he tries it. Jafar, however, does give him a freebie regarding enough treasure to fill Abis Mal's heart's content, in exchange for the third wish to set him free from the lamp (after Aladdin is believed to have died). Abis Mal was going to wish for Jafar's freedom, but stops himself and wonders whether Jafar's going to actually keep his word about the treasure, or if the treasure will disappear once being set free, apparently having become skeptical due to Jafar's tendency towards this trope. Jafar finally loses his patience at this point. There's also the Running Gag about the fact that in the Aladdin-verse, genies can't actually kill anyone. "But you'd be surprised at what you can live through."

Thus, when people make outrageous wishes, she has to fulfill them personally. For example, when a guy asked for a million dollars, she walked off, robbed a bank, then left him with the evidence and the cops on his ass while she disappeared. She still interprets such wishes negatively, though, because she wants to get through them as fast as possible. Once she reaches her quota, she'll have free will.

Jackass Genie / int_30963b69	comment	In The Callahan Touch by Spider Robinson, there is a clurichaun (a relative of the leprechaun) who is bound to grant three wishes. Upon hearing "...I show Ish (short for Ishmael) this table fixed", he claims he heard "I sho' wish this table fixed." Subverted in that the narrator/protagonist Jake realized that even with the game of twisting the wishes as far as they would go, the clurichaun didn't actually harm anyone and in fact three wishes were a great gift. Even if they were "three wishes you have to get exactly right", they were still incredibly valuable. The real hazard was that once a clurichaun enters a bar, he won't leave unless you remove all alcohol for at least a year, and drinks every bit of alcohol magically. In the end he asks for the final wish to be that the clurichaun pay for all of his drinks "in real gold, mind you". Since a clurichaun can and will magically drink a bar dry twice over every night, the bar went from a losing proposition to an ongoing successful business overnight.

Naveen agreed to Facilier's deal when he shook his hand, tacitly giving him permission to make the wishes described come true.

An Aborted Arc was going to revolve around Louis once being a human who made a deal with Dr. Facilier to be a great trumpet player.

Jackass Genie / int_37b56f7	comment	Baldur's Gate II has a Limited Wish (and TOB a full-powered Wish) spell. Just like the other D&D examples, it WILL twist your wishes if you are not careful. "I wish to be more experienced." makes it summon a horde of monsters for you to (try to) kill, for instance. "I want to go on an adventure like one I've never been on before!" sends you on a quest to track down someone's grandmother's gong from a variety of improbable characters... Wishing to be prepared against the undead makes it summon a group of hostile vampires while giving you no additional protection against them whatsoever. In this game, "being careful" means ensuring that your caster has a high enough Wisdom score to word the wishes properly, or by using "bad" effects to your advantage. Having the genie "summon an army" nets you 50 rabbits. Needless to say, a bunch of harmless, completely ordinary bunnies won't do any damage by themselves, but they make for a very nice distraction: enemies tend to attack the closest target, so if the rabbits are between you and the enemies, the enemies will waste turns attacking the rabbits while you pepper them with arrows and blast them with magic. Similarly, the horde of monsters summoned if you wish for experience is always a group of golems (though the exact number and type are based off your level), and there are several magic weapons in the game that are extremely powerful against golems, so if prepared you can get a lot of experience points for very little effort.

When the guy reaches in hoping to get some money to pay for his shopping, he pulls out a gun. In this one, the genie is actually fairly reasonable and tries to honor the spirit of the request over the letter.

Parodied in this one: Though there's no indication that it wouldn't grant the wishes properly, nobody trusts the demonic floating skull with a voice like a shrieking baby to do so, instead expecting some horrible consequences.

Jackass Genie / int_391713ea	comment	In The Monkey's Paw, the first wish is for two hundred pounds (sterling). Just to show how old this trope is, the characters in this story are aware of it and more worried one of them is going to be killed by the money falling from the sky in change and beaning them on the head. However, it is instead received via the eldest son dying in a horrible accident at work and the corporation giving them a settlement out of pity (because this story was written in an age where lawsuits for this kind of thing were unheard of). It gets worse: The mother is so distraught she forces her husband to wish the son alive again — but she didn't specify what shape she wanted him back in. It turns out his fatal accident had horribly mutilated him, and they hear a knock on the door. We never do find out just what shape the son is in, because when the mother goes to answer the door, the father rushes back in order to make his final wish, which is presumably to wish the son dead and back in his grave, because when the mother opens the door, no-one is there. Though some versions have him as a literal zombie, growling and scratching at the door.

The immediate response, "Old age", turns out not to work because she has to die that day. After some questions, it turns out that the genie, having really been imprisoned in the bottle for only two hundred and seventeen years, was actually required to grant Cimorene three wishes — however, for the genie to return home without killing Cimorene would render him a laughingstock. In the end, Cimorene convinces the genie to go back into the bottle for eighty-three years, thus allowing the genie to return home with his pride intact and fulfill the "old age" request for how Cimorene would die. He turns out to be a pretty good sport about the whole thing, though; in return for the brilliant idea, he grants Cimorene a wish, so she uses it to get the hen's teeth she's been looking for.

Jackass Genie / int_42ffb88e	comment	SCP Foundation: SCP-694 has a man making a demand to an unseen entity of a "full repeat" of the last 38 minutes after his son is killed in a kidnapping gone wrong. Said entity then proceeds to subject everyone involved to a Time Loop Trap, and all the Foundation can do is quarantine the area. SCP-738 is a set of an antique wooden desk, chair, and throne "possessed" by a normally invisible presence (which takes different appearances depending on who is sitting in the chair, visible only to them) who makes offers. Anyone who accepts (or requests something else) gets their request granted, but incurs an equal amount of misery as the price. On the plus side, it's at least nice enough to specify the price it demands, allowing the person to choose for themselves whether this is what they want or not. The wishes themselves are granted literally. One D-class accepts a bargain for freedom, he is freed but gets recaptured in a few hours since it wasn't specified that he would remain free. Another is offered the power to "never be held in a cell again". Somehow this results in the deaths of 12 Foundation guards and the D-class gets killed off since the Foundation realizes they can't hold him. One of the experiments the Foundation performed was to have the best lawyer in the organization (and given the kind of things they get up to, they have some damned good lawyers) negotiate a beneficial deal out of the guy. Forty-one hours later, the lawyer passed out from exhaustion in the middle of arguing the precise legal meaning of the word "shall", leaving a half-written, 900-page contract on the desk. Next to it was a note that said "Please come back any time. I haven't had so much fun in years." Another experiment involved the SCP working out a deal with a mentally disabled man, with the price being the man's prized stuffed rabbit toy. While the deal was straightforward and went through without a hitch, much to the dismay and grief of the man, an audio recording after the deal was struck captured a "deep sigh" coming from the area of the desk, indicating that while the SCP did its part, it wasn't happy about doing it at all. One example subverted the trope, proving that Even Evil Has Standards. Specifically, the Foundation asked for SCP-738 to permanently kill SCP-682, a reptillian abomination fueled by The Power of Hate. Upon hearing this request, 738 refused to grant it — not because it lacked the power to do so, but because the Foundation couldn't afford what it would cost them. SCP-1481 is a genie that comes out of a plastic drinks cup when someone rubs it and grants them unlimited wishes. However, every time that person makes a wish, it comes out wrong, or the genie deliberately jacks around with it: for instance, when asked for a sandwich, it made it — and then ate it. When asked for a winning lottery ticket, it made a losing lottery ticket. It doesn't seem interested in their requests, and often ignores them outright and goes on to reply that he didn't hear you or that you said nothing at all. Mostly, all this seems to be due to it having a serious drug habit. Apparently, this is all due to it having once been at the opposite end of this trope, as a human once wished for the genie to a) be an alcoholic drug addict and b) for it to be impossible to unwish the first wish, ruining the genie's life out of apparently pure dickery. SCP-2128 is a omniscient furnace known as the Liar's Cradle which will confirm or deny any statement given by a person sitting inside it... by letting the person live if the statement is true and burning them to death if it's false (even if the person themselves doesn't know if the given statement is true or not). It's also sentient, has a bit of an attitude, and derives great pleasure from incinerating people, so it can choose to interpret a statement a certain way if it so chooses (usually if you piss it off enough). For example, it chooses to interpret the statement "The Earth is round" as "earth" meaning soil or dirt and incinerates the person inside (particularly slowly and painfully in this case because this statement followed several taunting ones which it had to answer true to, to its own anger). SCP-3063 is a powerful Reality Warper who communicates with people through the body of a seemingly-ordinary housefly, offering anything they could desire. It always gives people what they want, but it comes with a price: six and a half years after their wish is granted, if the grantee is still alive, they die a slow and horrible death when their body becomes spontaneously infested with fly eggs that hatch and devour their body. It's also repeatedly twisted any attempt to wish for its destruction or containment. SCP-7000-J is a more humorous one, which can only grant a wish that is spoken in a mix of regular Latin and Dog Latin. It's also barely fluent in either, and it's known to screw people over through "Blind Idiot" Translation: a wish meant to cure cancer caused a species of crab to go extinct. Of course, even when it does get what it's supposed to be doing, it's still a jackass: when given a wish to permanently lock down an infamously powerful entity, the project head got an email telling him "TU EST BONEDUS, LOLOLOLEM." SCP-4035 is an ordinary-looking table lamp. When a bulb is inserted, 4035-1, looking like a down-on-his-luck salesman, manifests and offers to sell an undefined product. The very next statement the bulb-inserter makes, regardless of context or wording, is considered to be the desired wish. And unless the wish is very, very precise (like the "I want a sandwich" one), it will be at best Blessed with Suck, and at worst very, very lethal. "Make me rich" did make the subject rich — with a severe overdose of Vitamin C.

Jackass Genie / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: Downplayed with the Crossroads demons. They can seemingly grant any wish in exchange for your soul after a specified period of time (usually 10 years), and Crowley takes pride in him and his underlings averting this trope as much as possible in grounds of "integrity" (case in point, dragging one demon back to Hell after finding out it had been murdering its "clients" shortly after securing their souls). He makes it pretty clear though this is only so people will keep making deals with them; after all, where's the incentive to make deals with them at all if you're not even going to get what you asked for? Of course, this still somewhat counts, since a) most people they deal with are either very desperate, or just gullible idiots in over their head, and b) when the allotted time is up and it's time for your soul to be collected, the manner in which this is done is to have you ''hunted down by hellhounds who rip you to shreds", whereupon you wake up in the abyss to be tortured into becoming a demon yourself. Double Subversion in the episode "What Is and What Should Never Be". The djinn is introduced as a monster preying on people, but after Dean encounters it, he wakes up to find that his wish that his mother never died has been granted. Dean's new life is pretty pleasant, and the only downsides are logical outcomes of the wish, such as him and Sam not getting along without hunting to bring them together, and all the people that they would have saved dying instead. Then it turns out that the djinn doesn't actually grant wishes. It just induces magical hallucinations in its victims to make them think that their wishes have been granted, then drinks their blood for a few days until they die (though the hallucinations can subjectively last for years, even a lifetime). "Wishful Thinking" features a chintzy restaurant wishing well spiked by a cursed wish-granting coin. Amongst the wishes granted by this coin is an actual ax-crazy fiancee, a teddy bear made real but given a healthy dose of existential crisis and a free sandwich with a side of food poisoning.

The first one is simply called The Genie, who is fought by the original team. The second is Wicked Wisher, who appears in Power Rangers Turbo. These are inverted examples, however, because while they are villains, they are more than happy to obey their masters. Another wish-granting monster, Wish Star, appears in Power Rangers Dino Charge. His shtick is to grant wishes that become disastrous. As with the others, his master is Sledge, not the wishers, and is happy to obey him and help undermine the Rangers.

Jackass Genie / int_444e73d4	comment	In Dylan Dog, getting the wrong devil for a deal can end up like this: in "Baba Yaga" a terminally ill man sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the death of the men that killed his family, but the devil refused to carry on his part until the man was almost dead just to keep him from enjoying his revenge, pushing the man to make the same deal to Baba Yaga (who immediately blew up the targets and brought him with her so he could enjoy the show). In "Devil in the Bottle", the titular devil, contracted to screw over crusaders, screws up a knight's wish to rule over the world by making him king of an alien planet (and a race of tentacled Eldritch Abominations). He becomes a bit less of a jerk and more compliant once he finds out he was actually in the present day at a LARP convention and needs the protagonist's help to get back to Hell.

It's even stated in-story that every single attempt to use the jewel for good has backfired. What this amounts to at the end of the story when someone is in a position to make that wish is that there's only one precise wish that can be made that will actually work (apparently the Jewel has no power to pervert that one) and anything else will result in doom. Kagome wishes for the jewel to vanish from existence forever, which is said precise wish.

He then gives them to an aasimon in exchange for three wishes: "I want the tannar'ri to respect me as a hero, I want to show I'm better than that sodding balor. I want Alamanda to respect me. To love only me." The aasimon corrects the battle plans, returns them to the baatezu, and then tells the cambion that time flows differently here, and the assault has already begun. When he returns he finds that he's a hero for stealing the plans, even though it didn't do any good. He's better than the balor because he's still alive. And Alamanda says she loves him ... with her final breath.

It is revealed that this genie is responsible for Jeanne's curse, because she wished for a way to eternally protect the relic from the undead, and became a revenant endlessly fighting the undead horde. If you wish to be stronger, congrats, you're now stronger-smelling, resulting in lowered Charisma. If you wish to be smarter, the Djinn will fill your brain with useless trivia knowledge, stating that you do indeed become smarter from it, but to no actual effect. Want to be rich? Great, you can be renamed to "Rich" at no cost! Wish all nearby enemies were dead? Well, you're in a crypt full of undead, so that's another job well done! It is possible for the player to overcome the jackassery of the genie, though: wish for it to get lost (which makes him disappear, much to his horror), or wish for Jeanne to be free (which counts as a good deed, but player loses the strongest companion in game), or, with high Speech skill, to ask for a wish granted out of generous good will, to which the genie will disappointedly agree and grant any of the above normally, without negative effects.

Jackass Genie / int_4f57b33a	comment	The manga Only One Wish by Mia Ikumi (also author of Tokyo Mew Mew) revolves around the so-called Angel of Wishes, a mysterious entity looking like a woman in school uniform and witch hat that gives people cell phones to contact her and make a single wish who she'll then proceed to screw over: The first chapter features the three friends Rikako, Ai and Mai getting the cell phone. Rikako uses her wish to get Ai and her beloved Yamaguchi together, only for Ai to start ignoring them and Yamaguchi later admitting he liked Rikako. When a pissed-off Rikako tries to get back Yamaguchi and Mai tries playing peacemaker, Ai cries out she wishes that Rikako and Mai would disappear while she was in contact with the 'Angel', who proceeds to summon an Eldritch Abomination to eat them until Yamaguchi gets the cell phone and wishes the monster away. Mai, finally, feeling betrayed by her friends, for whom she was willing to renounce to both the wish and Yamaguchi's love, makes an untold wish that is implied will kill them. The 'Angel' did all this just to show that friendship can be a fickle thing. In the second chapter, a girl named Misa, who has drowned to save a cat, wishes to come back to life. The 'Angel' gives her a temporary body and will annul her death if she manages to kiss the boy she loves before midnight... But doesn't tell her that her friend Akio, who died with her and loves her, made a similar wish with the same condition. And Akio doesn't too but decides to help Misa live. The only reason they don't get screwed up when Misa throws away her chance to live and kisses Akio is that his wish was to stay with her for the following year, and the "Angel" decided it meant that they should both live. In the third chapter, a girl named Kumi has a crush on a boy named Kisarazu, and wishes for him to become small so she'll be able to care for him in her home and he'll fall for her. The 'Angel' obliges and enjoys the show when Kisarazu is terrified and utterly furious when he learns that Kumi is responsible for his condition. The fourth chapter opens with a man lying in his own blood and a high school student crying she didn't mean that when she wished her teacher would disappear, while the "Angel" states she fulfills any wish and that's the wisher's problem if she isn't happy with the result. She later states she'll screw up another wish upon sending a cell phone to a girl in need... and is happy when the girl ignores the cell phone: the "Angel" screws up wishes on purpose, because she doesn't like it when people cry for help at the first problem even when they can actually fulfill their wishes on their own (thus explaining why she didn't screw up Akio's wish: bringing people back to life is beyond current human abilities). She ends the chapter and the manga by preparing to screw another wish up.

The man wishes for a hundred more wishes, ten more genies and absolute omnipotence. After a Beat panel the genie reiterates that these wishes are just a token of gratitude and that he is in no way obligated to actually grant any of them if he doesn't feel like it because, well, he is free now. Furthermore, he was trapped in the lamp by humans in the past for a reason, what with him being a magical being of great evil, and is now planning on exacting revenge upon the entire human race, so whatever the man wishes will just make him, at best, a king among slaves. The man changes his wishes to "wealth, women and health", which the genie thinks sounds a lot better.

The genie fixes a broken display window for free, but then the man wishes for a million dollars... and after giving away a lot of his money, gets stuck paying the tax on a million-dollar lottery win, leaving him no better off than he started.

Given that the Enefadah first saw their sister/mother murdered by one of her siblings, then were trapped in mortal bodies and used as slaves for two millennia, their behaviour is quite understandable. For example, Yeine is warned early on that if she ever tells an Enefadah to "do what it likes" or any similar order, it will immediately kill her because killing Arameri is what the Enefadah most enjoy. Similarly, if she commands an Enefadah to "go away", it will promptly flee to some remote wilderness just to force some luckless Arameri to track it down and order it back to Sky. In the backstory, a slightly foolish Arameri lord commanded one of the Enefadah to destroy an invading army. He remembered to specify that he himself was not to be harmed, but the Enefadah unleashed a magical cataclysm that destroyed not only the invading army, but also the Arameri capital and all the lord's family and servants, leaving only the lord himself alive.

The contract is null if the devil does anything to force the wizard fulfill a condition against his will. One of the conditions is that the wizard murder someone. Part of the contract was granting the wizard a single wish, which the wizard turns out to have unwittingly used to escape his mentor — as the wizard fled, he was thinking about how much he wanted his mentor "gone". The devil interpreted the thought as a wish and disintegrated the wizard's mentor. Thus, he claimed, the wizard had murdered someone and fulfilled the condition... but the wizard did not want his mentor dead, only "gone". By killing the wizard's mentor, rather than getting rid of him any other way, the devil forced the wizard into fulfilling a condition. Point this out, and the devil is dragged back to the Lower Planes without the promised soul, cursing your name.

Jackass Genie / int_5ca2f3f9	comment	In an episode of Wizards of Waverly Place, Jerry gives his kids a lesson about genies and how tricky they are in granting wishes. Ignoring Jerry's warning, Alex releases a Literal Genie from its lamp and uses her first wish to get everyone to stop comparing her to Justin. However, the genie instead makes everyone except Alex forget who Justin is. Alex later summons the genie back at the cost of a wish and tries to use her final wish to fix her mistake. However, when she wishes that everyone sees Justin clearly for who he is, the genie uses Exact Words by turning Justin invisible. Fortunately, it is discovered that genie's lamp has a literal Reset Button that undoes all the wishes.

Jackass Genie / int_5e150650	comment	Exalted: Infernals powered by Cecelyne can be this, as they have wish-granting powers from Hell. However, the real jerkassery comes because the person whose wish is granted now owes the Infernal a favor. Oh, and the Infernal can be a jackass about interpreting someone as having made a wish. Demons, however, when summoned and bound with the proper rituals, are not — they're magically made loyal to their summoner, not just obedient, and will attempt to be a Benevolent Genie to the best of their ability. The catch is that they still have an alien mentality, and therefore may legitimately fail to understand concepts like 'babies die if you twist their limbs too hard.' The Unconquered Sun also has the power to summon and bind the defeated titans who created the world. He's never used it, precisely because he fears that they would play Jerkass Genie with his commands.

Jackass Genie / int_5f1139ed	comment	Near the end of Leprechaun 2, the Leprechaun is trapped in a wrought iron safe by Morty (the leprechaun, being a fae type, is harmed by Cold Iron), who forces the Leprechaun into granting him three wishes. The Leprechaun grants Morty's wish for his gold by materializing it into his stomach. After the Leprechaun makes Morty waste his second wish by wishing him free of the safe, the Leprechaun grants the third wish (getting the gold out) by ripping Morty open. When Morty whispers "Help me" afterward, the Leprechaun leaves him for dead since he's out of wishes. Suffice it to say, this is the titular Leprechaun's MO in ALL of the films. For added points, the Leprechaun was legally obligated to ask Morty every time if he is certain that this is his wish. That's right: not only was Morty yelled at the entire time to stop, but the villain himself had to ask him every time to confirm the screw up order. The Leprechaun even says outright that this is what Morty gets for being so greedy.

The nurse first wishes for legally gained wealth...and her sister is killed at work, leaving the money from the life insurance policy. She then wishes for her sister to be alive again, and the wish makes it so that the sister is paralyzed for life. Unfortunately for the genie, her jackass behavior backfires when the nurse uses the last wish to wish that they had never met, and the genie dies.

She has a good reason: as a banshee from the world of Arkhanta, and the most powerful of all, she has to grant three wishes, within the limits of her powers, to anyone who manages to capture her, and while she was unable to grant Ari's original wish she merely stated her inability and then granted him his next two wishes... Then Ari wished she'd be in his servitude granting his wishes forever, and that earned him her hatred. Being smart about it and knowing he could use the wishes to punish her, Yua continued granting his wishes the usual way while manifesting her hatred with simple shouts of anger and acting creepy to his guards until he, having to face the Guardians of Kandrakar in combat, wished for an armor invulnerable to their magic and she it made so heavy he wouldn't be able to right himself if toppled, and when that happened she was out of hearing range.

Of course, people don't generally go to the crossroads unless they've got no other options. Crossroads ghosts (at least good ones, like Mary) are there to try and talk them out of it, or if they can't, to act as the person's contract lawyer and get them the best (or least bad) deal they can.

Jackass Genie / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: During the Inferno (1988) Crisis Crossover, 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 storyline, the team took on a band of alien mercenaries called Technet. One member of Technet, Joyboy, has the power to telepathically discern his victim's fondest wish and grant it in as unpleasant a way as possible. He is able to take out Kitty Pryde (who at this time has to concentrate to stay solid) by granting her wish for a solid body. A five-hundred pound solid body◊. She reverted to normal once Joyboy is knocked unconscious. Mephisto, the closest thing to Satan in Marvel Comics, may sometimes wander into this. Once, he decides to play along with a popular Urban Legend that sometimes the devil may visit a bar and, if the bartender provides him with good service, he will grant him a wish. When the bartender asks for immortality, Mephisto drags him to Hell, extracts all his blood when grinding him like fresh meat, and uses it as ink to write letters. Words are immortal.More infamous is the deal he made with Johnny Blaze, a.k.a. Ghost Rider. Blaze asked for his foster father Crash Simpson, a stunt rider, to be cured of his cancer in return for Blaze's soul; Mephisto granted the wish, but when Crash next tried to perform a stunt it went wrong and Crash died — Mephisto reasoned that he had saved Crash from dying of cancer, but had no obligation to save him from dying in some other fashion.

Jackass Genie / int_66abe7c6	comment	Fate Series: In Fate/stay night there's one of these in the form of the Holy Grail itself. Since it has been corrupted by an evil force, it will interpret every wish as a desire for destruction. One of the examples given is that a wish to be the wealthiest man in the world would kill everyone richer than you. Another is when a character wished for world peace, the Grail stated its intention to grant that wish by killing everyone on the planet except for him and his daughter (can't have conflict if everyone is dead). Fate/hollow ataraxia reveals that it was originally a Literal Genie until the Third Grail War, when Avenger was summoned. An ordinary villager who was chosen as the source of all humanity's sins, he was tortured his entire life and came to embody the wish for a single source to the world's evils. When his spirit was absorbed by the Grail, it attempted to grant that wish, transforming him into Angra Mainyu, a mindless curse. Any wish granted by the Grail will be tainted by his presence and will release him on the world. Carnival Phantasm, as a Gag Series spinoff of the above, features "Grail-kun", a kooky parody of Doraemon who "grants wishes" by handing the wisher a kitchen knife and telling them to go stab the source of their problems. Notably, Kotomine is the only one to take his advice seriously.

Jackass Genie / int_67cdde7d	comment	Dragon Magazine: A Planescape Blood War comic featured a cambion spy, whose girlfriend had cheated on him with a balor, but has managed to steal baatazu battleplans to assault their fortress. He then gives them to an aasimon in exchange for three wishes: "I want the tannar'ri to respect me as a hero, I want to show I'm better than that sodding balor. I want Alamanda to respect me. To love only me." The aasimon corrects the battle plans, returns them to the baatezu, and then tells the cambion that time flows differently here, and the assault has already begun. When he returns he finds that he's a hero for stealing the plans, even though it didn't do any good. He's better than the balor because he's still alive. And Alamanda says she loves him ... with her final breath. At one point, Dragon Magazine dedicated an article to fleshing out a list of different types of wishes. Besides Benevolent and Malevolent, there were also Half wishes (Deliver half the wish and cut it in half in a creative way), Misinterpretation wishes (guaranteed to always hear at least one word wrong in some way), and several more options for making the act of wishing that much more uncertain.

Jackass Genie / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder: The adventure path "Legacy of Fire" plays with this. The main antagonist is a genie who's adding minor twists to every wish he grants so that it moves him closer to his ultimate goal; towards the end he resorts to just forcing people to wish for the things he wants to do at swordpoint, but prior to that he tends to just rely on riders and quirks to get what he wants. Meanwhile, the genie backing the heroes is effectively the head of the Society for the Promotion of Ethical Wishcraft and will only engage in this if the player characters keep wishing for stuff she's not willing to give them, like a way to end-run around the adventure or win fights automatically. Glabrezu demons specialize in doing this. Their main schtick is tempting and corrupting mortals by offering them whatever they wish, and then using their magic to give it to them — and, since glabrezus are just as evil and sadistic as any other demon, deliberately twisting said wish to cause as much harm and grief as possible. For instance, a smith wishing for fame and recognition might end up with a wealthy patron — who happens to be a cruel warmonger who uses the smith's weapons to spread death and misery. Or someone grieving over the death of a loved one might see them brought back from the dead — as a vampire. And so on.

She was living in medieval France, and had made three wishes — a stout mule, a magic bag full of turnips, and "great power and a long life." The genie decided to use that last wish to turn her into a genie trapped in his place. Jerk. She herself tends to be pretty mean also, but only when the wishes are stupid. Which, according to her, is "all the time": In the end, Jenn qualifies as more of a Jerkass Woobie Genie, since she didn't ask for her situation and she's really, really sick of it. Mulder himself recognizes this and frees her with his final wish, turning her into a normal woman with a regular lifespan.

Jackass Genie / int_6a8aff51	comment	The Nightwatcher from The Stormlight Archive is a borderline example. She will grant anyone who finds her a wish—but at the same time exact a curse. A character tells his friend that he'll word the wish to get around loopholes, but his friend says that's not how it works. You ask for the boon, and the Nighwatcher gives you a curse she feels is equivalent, which might be related to the wish, but more often is not. One person wished for a bunch of cloth and was cursed to see the world upside down for the rest of his life. In addition, she's not even obliged to give you what you asked for, though she does usually try. For example Lift asked to be The Ageless, but instead was left with a curious condition allowing her to interact with normally-intangible creatures and Cast from Calories (it's not clear if this was the boon or the curse or both or whether it was supposed to fulfil her request), while Dalinar asked to be forgiven, which resulted in him not receiving anything from a confused Nightwatcher and a different entity that understood humans better stepping in to grant him a boon and curse of her own devising.

Jackass Genie / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: When a Game Master awards a roleplayer a wish, this trope often results in the player taking twenty minutes to formulate their wish to ensure that it comes out as planned. "... and I want it to happen now and I don't want to lose it later and I don't want anyone to get hurt for me to obtain it and I want it to be accessible and..." In earlier editions, before wishes had set limits, there was a certain type of GM who basically used wishes to troll by waiting for players to ask for absurd things and then ruining them for doing so. The player wishes to be an immortal? The GM may make them a mountain, or maybe change the character's name to "Anne Immortal". The player wishes for vast wealth? They are teleported to a vein of gold beneath the earth with no means to survive the pressure or heat, or rewarded with a vast sum of acorns and transformed into a squirrel. The list goes on and on. However, this is against the terms of the spell as written even in 1st and 2nd Edition, where wishes have general limitations on what they can and can't get done. Do note that when the player actually memorized and cast the spell, they are subject to the aging and experience penalties the spell usually has for casting. It's usually when a wish is gained through some other method that the jackassery happens. And the descriptions of the spells cautioned against greed, stating that it usually ends in disaster for the wisher (the DM becoming a Jackass Genie). It's important to note that the above-mentioned "free-form" version of the wish spell came from the old AD&D 2nd Edition rules. In D&D 3.0 and 3.5, wish and miracle spells have a set of specific game-mechanical effects that they're explicitly allowed to accomplish with no penalty. Additionally, the spell description also says that the DM should let wishes of a similar power level work the way the player wants them to — and because wish is, canonically, the most powerful spell a wizard can cast,note At least, it's the most powerful spell a Level 20 wizard can cast. it ought to be capable of doing some pretty impressive things. It's only if the players go overboard that the DM is supposed to stop it, either by playing Jackass Genie with their phrasing or, if that isn't possible, by simply having the power of the spell be over-stretched and fail to get the job done. (The 3.0 Player's Guide has an example of the latter: a wizard wishing that everyone in the land considers him their rightful king ends up with everybody simply realizing that the wizard tried and failed to magically control their minds.) The D&D Rules Cyclopedia version of the wish spell recommends that not only should wishes be carefully worded to avoid poor interpretations, but that if the wish is carefully worded but unbalanced, the DM should go out of his way to come up with a negative interpretation. The given example, "I wish to immediately and permanently gain the gaze attack power of a basilisk while retaining all my current treasure and class features," is given an example result of the character growing a second, basilisk head. And 4th Edition did away with wish altogether, at least as a spell that players can cast. It remained in the form of a ritual available only to pit fiends (the highest-ranking type of devil, short of the archdevils) that allows them to grant a mortal's wish once every 99 years... but if you're going to trust the outcome of your wish to a freakin' pit fiend, you deserve whatever you get. Fifth Edition has brought back wish, but with the major caveat that a caster using it to do something other than duplicating a spell has a 33 percent chance of being unable to cast it ever again. This applies even if the spell is cast through a magic item. Dungeons & Dragons also has actual genies, though only the "noble" ones (about 1% of them) can actually grant wishes. The description of noble efreeti (the evil type of genies that come from the Elemental Plane of Fire) specifically says, "Whenever possible, an efreeti will twist the words of a wish to bring pain and destruction upon the wisher." To prove that the game designers are evil, the only genies kept in the 4E Monster Manual were Efreeti... and the books specifically stress that they act like Noble Demons until someone presses them into servitude... like, say, to grant a wish. The good news is that despite legends to the contrary, the 4e Efreeti can't actually grant wishes. The bad news is that they've cultivated enough connections and favors to perform a remarkable simulation. If you're kind enough to release one from servitude, it might grant a "wish" for you in thanks — and actually uphold the spirit of the wish as best it can due to its sense of honor — but it can also twist a "wish" or just generally make the rest of your (blessedly short) life hell if you try to force it into servitude. The second Monster Manual brought back the actual Djinn (genies of air, described as "master engineers of the fabulous"), many of whom were sealed away in objects (like the traditional lamp) after the end of the Dawn War between Primordials and Gods. They don't grant wishes any more than the Efreeti do, but they are grateful to those who help them and will usually reward somebody who aids them considerably. Oppose them, however, and you're screwed. The fifth edition Monster Manual includes a story about a halfling who met a genie (a Marid to be precise, genies of water with a canonical Chaotic Neutral alignment and whose egos make them think of mortals as amusing playthings) and wished for immortality. The genie turned him into a fish, which flopped around for a few minutes before suffocating. The in-universe narrator notes the story is a thousand-year old tale of caution, so in a way, the halfling got his wish. The effects of a Jackass Genie DM are arguably removed with the Wish-equivalent psionic powers bend reality and reality revision They function the same as limited wish and wish, respectively, but since Psionics is thought, the power would affect the way the manifester thinks. Intention over interpretation through the power of thought, no messy words to get in the way. However, on that note, if you try to stretch these powers too far, it simply flat-out fails, and just wasted a bunch of psychic power and time to no effect. And also, you even must explain it your wish to your GM, and he can act as the Jackass Genie. "Oh, so you wanted to alter the reality so you could be the greatest Psion? Well, now you're sixty feet tall. You SAID me that was your wish, player". Rule Zero, my friends! On a related note, the Clerical version, miracle is adjudicated by the caster's god (despite functioning via the spellcasting game mechanics, a cleric doesn't actually "cast" a miracle, they "request" one). If they ask for too much, or something not following the god's philosophy, god says "no", and you waste time and a spell. And in the later case, the GM could reasonably have the god punishing the cleric for their temerity. Of course, as this strip from Real Life Comics shows, even if the wish itself works out exactly as you want, the DM can still screw you around. In the Binder of Shame, Ab3 of RPG.Net fame notes that some Killer Game Masters do this as their very style of running a game. In the RPG.Net rant, "A Night at the Inn, a Day at the Racists", he recounts the tale of Psycho Dave, one particular such Game Master: Leprechauns could act like this, but with a twist. If a leprechaun is captured by a mortal or his pot of gold is stolen, he can offer the mortal three wishes in exchange for his or the pot of gold's release (but is only capable of granting what is permitted by the limited wish spell). If the mortal agrees, the leprechaun will indeed grant the wishes, doing so in a way that will tempt the mortal into wanting more. After doing so, he'll offer the mortal a fourth wish as a bonus. If the mortal falls for this and makes a fourth wish, a type of Leprechaun Law will allow the leprechaun to undo the effects of the three wishes and then teleport the wisher and his companions hundreds of miles away; they'll never be able to find that particular leprechaun again. Ravenloft: The setting has a monster called a Wishing Imp, a magical statue that you CANNOT get rid of, that will explicitly try to pervert anything even remotely possible to be interpreted as a wish... It DOES classify as a curse though, the idea is that you should want to get rid of it. Similarly, the Dark Powers seem to spend a lot of time thinking up ways to give Darklords exactly what they say they want and take away what they actually want. Such as Strahd's desire to evade death bringing with it the deaths of everyone he cared about. The Deal with the Devil usually goes this way too, with the D&D devils being malicious but always keeping their side of the bargain. And you'll have problems with that, as they have literal "Lawyers out of Hell". Tomb of Horrors: The module features a cursed gem that purports to grant wishes; when the wish is made, it will do an exact opposite or otherwise turn the wish against you (given example: when asked to bring somebody back from the dead, it'll instead destroy his remains, or even kill somebody else), AND then it explodes, burning everybody in the vicinity to death. There's also an efreeti in a bottle. If the players try to bargain with the efreeti to let him out, he'll grant three wishes but will be a jackass about it. If the players mishandle his bottle in any way he won't even give them that; he simply attacks them outright. If the players open the bottle without attempting to bargain with the efreeti, however, he'll grant their three wishes without any malice.

Jackass Genie / int_6d92a167	comment	Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness: Pandora. As explained by Ceal in Act V chapter 29, he once wished for the dragon Fafnir to die "by his hand." Pandora granted the wish by severing Ceal's left hand, so he would only have the one hand to kill Fafnir with, and then making it so Fafnir can only be killed by Ceal. Her elder brother, Hex Lagon, also has shades of this. In Act VI, when Gabriel loses his game of chance, in accordance with the deal, Gabriel is stripped of his grace and angelic power. As the others point out, Gabriel losing his wings was not part of the terms Hex mentioned.

Jackass Genie / int_70da6e51	comment	The wish-granting witch in the Goosebumps book Be Careful What You Wish For is either exceptionally malicious, exceptionally incompetent, or both. In order... 1) Main character Samantha Byrd wishes to be "the strongest player on her basketball team". The witch doesn't make her stronger, but everyone else weaker, to the point where the star players come down with severe illnesses. This leads to a scene where said star player (and bully) Judith is accusing Samantha of being a witch herself... 2) Samantha angrily wishes JUDITH would disappear. The witch makes EVERYONE IN THE WORLD disappear as well. Because... the wish is hard to aim? 3) Samantha wishes everyone back and wishes that Judith "thought she was the greatest". This, as you might have guessed, makes Judith obsessed with Samantha and how "perfect" she is to the point of insanity, forcing Samantha to flee and running into the witch again after her three wishes had been used up. 4) Given one last wish, Samantha wishes "she had never met the witch... that Judith had met the witch instead". Reality returns to what it previously was, but then Judith (no longer aware she was there because she was obsessively chasing Samantha) says "Why don't you fly away, Byrd?" for the thirteenth time in the book, and Samantha is turned into a bird. JUST 'CAUSE.

Jackass Genie / int_71495571	comment	Wonder Woman 1984 plays with this. The Dreamstone grants its victims' wishes literally, but the cost of the wishes is so extreme that it usually isn't worth it. For example, Barbara Minerva wishes to be more like Diana, so she becomes beautiful, confident and gets Diana's powers to boot. However, the Dreamstone takes her morality in exchange, eventually resulting in her turning into Cheetah. Wonder Woman's wish is for Steve Trevor to come back to life, but she only gets him back via possessing another man's body, and she loses her powers in the deal. This is because the Stone was actually created by the Duke of Deception (reimagined in this universe to be the god of lies) specifically as Shmuck Bait to doom humanity. Max Lord tries to exploit a loophole in the deal by wishing to become the Dreamstone, thus deciding for himself what toll he will extract from unfortunate wishers. Surprisingly, the Dreamstone doesn't turn him into an inanimate rock, probably because it knows it will be able to inflict more chaos on the world by letting Lord get what he wants. Max Lord eventually renounces his wish when he realizes it will doom his son to death in nuclear war.

"Someone once wished for an exciting voyage; I gave them the Titanic. A kid didn't want to go on a camping trip; I exploded the volcano at Mount St. Helens. World War I? A reporter wanted an interesting story." The female genie trapped in the box also makes life hell for the protagonist, and for her own amusement, twists his every wish so that everything turns out wrong. He wants a book report that he forgot at home, but the one she gives him is about the movie adaptation. He wants superior athletic skills, but hits the coach in the face with a dodgeball and gets detention. She gives him a new car, but it's someone else's, and he's taken into custody by police for grand theft auto. He wants her to leave him alone, but he's placed in a dark, lonely dimension all by himself. He wishes himself "out of this nightmare", but is placed in a timeline where he never existed. He wishes himself back to the day before, when he bought the box, and ends up right in the middle of trafficnote Though this one actually works out, since he keeps his knowledge of the genie, and is able to avoid buying the box and getting stuck with her. "The Tale of the Twisted Claw" is explicitly a rehash of The Monkey's Paw, with a more optimistic take. A pair of boys vandalize the local witch's house on "Mischief Night" (the night before Halloween). When the witch opens her front door unexpectedly, they spray shaving cream in her face and run away, accidentally breaking a large vase in the process. The next day they go trick-or-treating at her house, and she gives them a bird's talon that serves the same purpose as the monkey's paw in the original. When all their wishes inevitably go wrong, they use the last one to say, "We're sorry we broke the vase, and we wish it never happened!" They find the vase whole and gift-wrapped for them at their house. It seems the witch wasn't so bad after all; she just wanted to teach the boys a lesson.

The Cephalopods invite them onto their ship... and promptly dissect them, being genuinely confused as to how they have "turned against their own kind" and offered them to be killed by other alien species in exchange for technology over the years. The Soviet Die Hards want to restore the Soviet Union and Communism, which is regularly referred to in their storyline as "every person being an equal part of a larger whole". The Cephalopods merge every person on Earth into a giant grotesque blob. The French Oceanographers want to be respected. The Cephalopods send them to a gladiator arena to fight for their amusement. The VLO wish to have their nation no longer be oppressed by other countries. The Cephalopods flood the entire world except for their tiny island. Doctor Pocalypse wishes to kill the entire human race and repopulate it with his own "superior" DNA. The Cephalopods kill off the rest of humanity but also kill his wife Evelyn, instead giving him a genetically superior "mate": a horrific-looking alien. The Order of Nisroch is told their god Zornad has been asleep right under their noses in the ocean, and the Cephalopods awaken him for the Order to commune with. Zornad is an Eldritch Abomination and he promptly eats them. Team Earth Hope seeks to protect the Earth's natural wonders. Upon meeting them, the Cephalopods are outraged at how humanity has destroyed the environment and flood the entire Earth to give it back to its "true masters": dolphins. Mordrid Corporation CEO Dana Nadel wants to be "showered with wealth". The Cephalopods bombard the Earth with meteors made from solid gold, killing them. Professor Armstrong is an Adventurer Archaeologist seeking to unlock the secrets of the past. The Cephalopods send him back in time to witness it for himself, where he ends up mummified. Jack "Lock Jaw" Keon seeks fame and admiration by becoming a Collector of the Strange. The Cephalopods turn his head into a living alien museum exhibit where he will be admired for thousands of years.

For example, after being bullied by some classmates for her slow running, she wished to be the fastest person on the track team. The other kids were all crippled by an attacker, at least temporarily, rendering them unable to run and her the fastest by default. However, what the Rainy Devil was actually granting was not her stated wish to be a fast runner but her subconscious wish for revenge, meaning it's actually a Benevolent Genie. Her current wish is similar: More than wanting Senjogahara to love her, she wants to beat up Koyomi for taking her away, though as a normal person she wouldn't normally act on this desire.

Jackass Genie / int_7c60fb0f	comment	The Simpsons: One story, "Ala-diddly-addin and His Magic Lamp", features Ned Flanders as Aladdin and Homer as a Jackass Genie. First, he complains how long he's been in the lamp, so Aladdin remarks he should have a drink — the genie interprets this as his first wish and grants himself a beer. For his second wish, the starving family wishes for food, so the genie calls up a combination of a strip club and buffet. When the staunchly-faithful Aladdin complains, he passingly tells the genie to "forget I just said that", leading to the genie taking it as his third wish... though this works in Aladdin's favor, as he erases his own memory, so he thinks Aladdin still has a wish. 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, while outright copping to the fact he'd probably have screwed up the wish had it been differently worded. In the end, the genie also wrecks Aladdin's last wish (to "escort himself" out of town), creating a duplicate he winds up getting drunk and crashing with Aladdin's family with. Another story taking place when Homer was a kid had Homer find a mean genie who tried to pressure Homer into making a wish and point-blank telling him that he intends to grant his wishes so that they have negative consequences, such as having Homer's wish for a million dollars result in Homer getting the money illegally and his father getting mad at him for it.

While not a "genie" as such, it grants your wish, but only after Your sister, family, and pet are all dead (possibly) and you've had to buy the place anyway for a million. Not to mention all the other horrible things that happen to your character on the way. Not a nice box, really. However, since the exact wording of the wish was never given, you could see it as having been fulfilled when the two of them go to the castle, unless it included the word "live".

Jackass Genie / int_83d41855	comment	Gargoyles: It has fun with this trope in an episode called "The Mirror." Puck — the trickster fairy from A Midsummer Night's Dream — is captured by Demona and forced to do her bidding. Puck, either out of a sense of mischief, annoyance with being enslaved, or a sincere desire to avoid harming others — possibly all three — deliberately misconstrues Demona's wishes, as follows... Rather than destroy Elisa, Puck uses his powers to turn her into a gargoyle. Thus, as he puts it "The Human Elisa Maza is no more." Demona, still not getting the drift, then makes him do it to the entire population of Manhattan. Needless to say, hilarity ensues. Puck did say that the Mirror that was used to summon him wasn't Aladdin's lamp, implying even if he wasn't being a trickster, he couldn't kill all the humans as Demona wanted. And at the end of the episode, Demona wishes to be able to stay awake during the daylight hours and the night. Puck makes it so that she turns into a human during the day. How she actually survives like this, rather than collapsing in exhaustion after a few days, is never mentioned in-series. "She does have to sleep now, though she gets by on a few hours per day. Doesn't really improve her mental outlook if you know what I mean." It should be noted that this was actually not Puck's original intent. He actually planned to reward Demona for providing him with such a grand time, but Demona very rudely told him to go away. Thus she wound up getting her wish twisted. It was subverted when Puck tried it with David Xanatos: the fairy took on the form of his Hyper-Competent Sidekick Owen Burnett and was eventually impressed enough by Xanatos to reveal his true identity. He then offered Xanatos a choice between a single wish or a lifetime of loyal yet non-magical servitude as Owen Burnett. Xanatos, as THE David Xanatos, realized that whatever wish he made would end up twisted, so he took the second option — which turns out to be the right one, as it impresses Puck enough to have him keep his word, no questions asked. It helps that Xanatos likes to solve things himself to control the situation, and believes that Owen is too valuable as good help is so hard to find.

Jackass Genie / int_859f63e3	comment	Shenron the dragon from Dragon Ball Abridged starts off as a Benevolent Genie, even pointing out the Loophole Abuse that the characters can use to take care of their problems and offering to do that. They, of course, refuse so they can solve their problems with martial arts battles. In the Christmas Tree of Might special, Shenron turns into one of these when he finds that not only was he summoned by the main cast again, lamenting that no-one else seems to find the Dragon Balls, but Krillin, who is standing in the middle of a burned down forest with terrified, homeless animals surrounding them, wishes for the best Christmas tree in the world instead of saving the forest. An angry Shenron responds by summoning a group of alien marauders who plant an evil version of a World Tree that sucks all the Christmas joy out of the world. It is still a tree, at least. The revelation from the end of Season 2 that Shenron is, in fact, a servant of Mr. Popo may explain his more malevolent nature. Upon being summoned by Mr. Popo, Shenron's question when he realizes who has summoned him is to ask if it is time for them to "lay waste to this world". The new remake of Dead Zone Abridged has Shenron answer Garlic Jr.'s wish for immortality with "Can't wait to hear how you fuck this up." It seems if the wish granter is dumb enough, he doesn't even have to twist it. He mostly seems to grant the wish straight out of surprise that, after years of the Z-warriors using every window of opportunity to revive the dead (and one wish for panties) he finally has someone ask for the standard immortality wish. In the abridgment of World's Strongest, Shenron attempts to be a benevolent genie all over again, but evil Jerkass Kochin doesn't have the sense to see that and insists on doing a bit of Wasteful Wishing. Finally, Shenron gets fed up and grants the wish, while also putting a huge hole in the ozone layer just to screw with humanity for trying his patience. Then there's Slay from the Misfit Minions in the Christmas Tree of Might movie. Slay was once a Mall Santa who molested children and took wishes literally in the worst possible way. For example, a kid who asked him for a fire truck got a real one dropped onto his house. And then there's the part where he starts telling Krillin about the young cancer patient who asked him to get rid of the cancer...

He was originally a human pig shepherd who was trying to raise the largest pig in order to win a competition. A witch offers to grant his wish for a pig larger than every other in exchange for all his other pigs. When he agrees, she just turns him into a Pigman and takes all his pigs.

However, there's also other selfless acts that work perfectly without any Body Horror, the most notable of them being the Order of Kissers of Wounds, who by, well, kissing the wounds of others in an act of contrition and mercy, heal said wounds without invoking any penalty. Given that most people in Cvstodia tend to pray for great suffering as they believe very strongly in atoning for sin through penance, the Miracle may be a downright Benevolent Genie simply giving the people exactly what they want.

Mat mistakes them for their answer-granting cousins, the Aelfinn, and when they won't answer his questions, he starts venting his frustrations on them instead, which they take as his wishes. They grant his wishes in the laziest way possible, and the wishes also come with a price that can be negotiated. Since he doesn't name a price and doesn't specify that he wants to leave their realm alive, they hang him. On the other hand, since he survived being hanged, the things they gave him did actually fulfill the wishes; to let him "be free of Aes Sedai," they gave him a nifty Anti-Magic amulet, to "fill the empty holes in his memories" they shoved his head full of multiple lifetimes' worth of experiences, and as a kicker they gave him a pimpin' magic spear that fulfills his third wish, for a way out of the Eelfinn realm; it doubles as a magic key that can carve open gateways leading out of their domain. Later, the readers learn exactly what happened when Moiraine and Lanfear passed into their realm in The Fires of Heaven. The Eelfinn grant both of them their three wishes. Then they torture them and drain them of their life-force, permanently draining away their ability to channel bit by bit. Yeah, the Eelfinn are just assholes.

Being a Dirty Kid, his first wish is for a swimsuit model from a magazine to come to life, only for said genie to materialize the model... while fully clothed (and not even scantily-clad like Shin-Chan expected). Shin-Chan then wishes the model away (wasting two wishes in a row) and in frustration, tell the genie to "SHUT UP!" when she reminds him he's down to two wishes... and then down to one left. But when Shin-Chan asks the genie to let him reconsider his last one, the genie is eager to follow suit without screwing him over - Shin-Chan considers using his last wish to either make him the king of his house, for the genie to turn everyone in the world into swimsuit models, for his gorgeous college-age neighbor he had a Precocious Crush on to fall madly in love with him, but eventually uses his last wish when he realize his baby sister Himawari is down with a terrible fever and wished her to be healthy again.

The problem is that Rumpel ends up stealing the day Shrek was born, which triggers a chain reaction of events that leads to a dystopian alternate universe where ogres are persecuted and enslaved. The film also reveals that years ago, King Harold and Queen Lillian nearly made a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to save Fiona in exchange for giving up Far Far Away, which was averted when Shrek ended up becoming her savior. In the alternate universe, without Shrek to save her, they ended up sealing the deal, only to learn to their horror that it not only stipulated them to give up Far Far Away, but also their own existence since he had said that he would "make their problems disappear," leaving Rumpelstiltskin free to reign as king.

Wembley finds an old bottle and polishes it up, only to notice pictograms saying "Do Not Rub This Bottle". Out pops a genie, who unlike most of these examples doesn't try to trick Wembley with Exact Words or Literal Genie shenanigans—he just refuses to grant wishes, and instead starts using his magic to prank the other Fraggles as a bullying jerk all on his own. After an attempt to re-trap him in the bottle ends with Wembley being tricked into letting him back out under the promise that he'll leave Fraggle Rock (but the genie merely goes I Lied), he mind controls all of the Fraggles except Wembley. In Wembley's attempts to get him to stop he discovers that the genie actually has to grant any wish Wembley asks of him (he just didn't want to), which results in Wembley wishing to have the other Fraggles no longer be mind controlled, to have everything the genie broke fixed, and for the genie to have a Heelâ€“Face Turn

He encountered Polnareff alone and, through his Stand, promised him 3 wishes. Polnareff first wished for gold, and at first, Cameo seemed honest, creating a glittering pile of treasure with no negative effects whatsoever. Then Polnareff remembered his guilt over not being able to save Sherry or Avdol and wished that they both be brought back to life. Cameo interpreted this as two wishes (giving Polnareff no way to escape the consequences), then led Polnareff to his newly-raised sister and ally... which were reborn as zombies who attempted to kill him. In truth, Judgement's real ability is manipulating earth, and Cameo only uses granting wishes as a ruse: the treasure it gave Polnareff was made of dirt, and the Sherry and Avdol zombies were clay golems.

When Bulma goes to him to find out about the Super Dragon Balls, she gets three questions but two are wasted because he interprets any question Bulma says out loud as counting towards her total, even if it's rhetorical or confirming information she'd already gotten. Strongly averted in the whole Dragon Ball franchise by the wish-granting dragon Shenron. While his rude mannerisms (in which he makes no effort to hide the fact that he doesn't want to be summoned or grant wishes) would make you expect him to screw over wishers when the opportunity presents itself, he's actually highly benevolent about it.

Jackass Genie / int_99b147d8	comment	Martin Mystery: One of the few villains to make two non-consecutive appearances was one of these. Normally resembling a beautiful woman, the Djinn's true form was a demon and it rivaled the Djinn from Wishmaster in its ability to screw people over. For example, when the crook who accidentally released it wished to be "the world's most infamous thief", the Djinn turned him into a Half-Human Hybrid, reasoning that no one could ever forget a burglar who looked like a rat monster. Worse still, she could force people to speak their heart's desire, allowing her to torment even the people who knew better than to deal with her. Unfortunately for her, however, when the time came to force Martin's wish out of him, the words that came out of his mouth were "I wish I knew how to save my friends", a wish that was either too selfless or too simple to corrupt. The Christmas Episode has an evil Elf who grants wishes but actually grants the exact opposite of what they want. Ultimately, Martin's wish was to "Have a paranormal Christmas", which, being forced to grant the wish undid everything he did to everyone else and caused him to go away, making it a perfectly normal holiday.

Jackass Genie / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: The series has Clavicus Vile, the Daedric Prince of Bargains and Wishes, who is this trope at his most malevolent. Crossing over with Deal with the Devil, Clavicus Vile loves making deals with mortals that they later come to regret. Vampires pray to him for a cure to their affliction? Vile has a hero come along and Mercy Kill them all. A man wants to cure his daughter of lycanthropy? Vile gives him an enchanted axe to put her out of her misery. Pray to him for the power to "crush your enemies"? Vile will turn you into a weapon. Clavicus Vile is usually accompanied by an "external conscience" named Barbas, who typically takes the form of a Big Friendly Dog. With Barbas, Vile tends to be a bit less malevolent, coming closer to a Literal Genie. However, following the events of Oblivion, in which his quest ends with him possessing an artifact weapon capable of splitting he and Barbas, he became much more malevolent. This is rectified in his Skyrim quest. The Ideal Masters are immortal beings who were once powerful mortal sorcerers during the Merethic Era. After finding their mortal forms to be too weak and limiting, they entered Oblivion as beings of pure energy and settled an area of "chaotic creatia", forming the Soul Cairn. The Ideal Masters are most infamous for their trafficking in souls, especially "Black" sapient souls. All souls trapped in soul gems end up in the Soul Cairn and are considered property of the Ideal Masters. Individuals seeking power, especially mortal necromancers, have long contacted the Ideal Masters. The Ideal Masters grant it in exchange for souls, which often includes the soul of the necromancer themselves. (Though the necromancer may not be aware of this fact as the Ideal Masters are Manipulative Bastards who often get what they want through Exact Words and You Didn't Ask.) In Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC, you encounter Durnehviir, a Dracolich the Ideal Masters ensnared within the Soul Cairn. In exchange for power, he agreed to guard Valerica for the Masters "until she dies". However, Valerica is a vampire, and thus, The Ageless, essentially binding Durnehviir to their service for eternity.

First, Elizabeth manages to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal in return for the Medallion. However, she neglects to negotiate her return to shore. Barbossa quickly abuses this by kidnapping her, stating that her return to shore was not part of the agreement, and so he "must" do nothing. Next he points out that the Pirate's Code is only for pirates and thus he was being courteous by negotiating with her at all. Then finally he points out they don't actually have to follow these rules at all, and that they tend to bend or break them whenever it's convenient — the only time they're required to follow the rules is when Captain Teague is around who will shoot a man dead for even suggesting they break the code. Secondly, when Will reveals himself as the son of Bootstrap Bill (meaning Barbossa explicitly needs him alive), he negotiates that in return for giving himself up, the crew will not be harmed, and Elizabeth goes free. The crew ends up imprisoned (no word on what the final plan for the crew was after the curse was broken), and Elizabeth was forced to walk the plank with Jack and marooned on a deserted island.

It's toned down in the first game, where he's closer to a Literal Genie and even tries to warn some winners of the dangers of their wishes, but in the sequels, this trope is in full effect. The drivers of Outlaw in the first two games and Twisted Metal: Head-On get caught in a cycle of these. Officer Carl Roberts, the driver in the first game, wished to be in a world free of the Twisted Metal tournament. Calypso responded to this by hurling him into space, a place where Twisted Metal wasn't held. In the second game, the driver of Outlaw 2, Carl's sister Jamie, demands to see her brother, and Calypso responds by hurtling her into space the same way he did her brother. This turns out to be a Batman Gambit on her part, as she was smart enough to modify her police car for space flight. She rescues her brother and the two return to Earth, plotting revenge. Finally, in Head-On, Carl and Jamie get into an argument over whether or not to just shoot Calypso right there. Carl accidentally wishes for Jamie to "shut up", and Calypso erases her mouth Matrix-style. In Twisted Metal: Black, Roadkill's driver John Doe, an amnesiac character, wants to know who he was. Calypso grants his wish and then shoots him, because he was an FBI agent and Calypso is on the FBI's 10 most wanted list. Dollface, the driver of Darkside in Black, wishes to be able to take off her unremovable mask from which she gets her moniker. She's given a Sadistic Choice when it turns out that taking the key to the mask will also mean killing her former employer, the guy who locked her in it in the first place, but since he had it coming, she goes through with it... only to decide that she's fine wearing her mask until she grows old. In Head-On, Krista, the ghostly driver of Grasshopper and daughter of Calypso, wishes to undo the car crash that killed her and her mother. The crash is erased from history... and Krista is put into an indefinite coma in a swingset accident to make up for it. With this, it would even appear that Calypso is not in total control of his Jackass Genie ways, as even he is depressed by the outcome of this wish. Most likely Karma in his case. Hammerhead's ending from TM2 is an odd example. The drivers wished to gain the ability to fly... and as soon as Calypso said "Wish granted", they jumped off the edge of the building and fell to their deaths, leaving him standing there dumbfounded with a pair of plane tickets in his hand. So while he was pulling a jackass interpretation of their wish, he wasn't actually going to harm them personally — their deaths were all on them. The third game, one of the two Twisted Metal games that don't exist, was especially bad when it came to this. The character Axel wishes to become completely mechanical, so Calypso turns him into a wristwatch. Angela wants to sit at home and watch TV all day, so Calypso ties her to a chair and forces her to watch nothing but infomercials. The cops want a crime-free world. Okay, great, now they're out of a job and destitute on the streets since there's no need for police anymore. One character wishes to party all night long, so he gets sent to Antarctica where nights last for 6 months. The demon Minion wishes to spend eternity in hell and ends up trapped in Hell, Michigan. On the other hand, though, there were a few characters where he honestly granted their wish. Endings involving revenge (such as No-Face, Mr. Grimm, Raven, and Billy Ray Stillwell's endings in Twisted Metal: Black) are usually granted with no strings attached, as they are pretty simple ones that screw someone else over. The first game also had Calypso generally be more honest with his wishes, with the only driver who got unambiguously screwed being Carl Roberts, the driver of Outlaw — and that was likely because he made a wish (ending the Twisted Metal contest) that served as a metaphorical slap in Calypso's face. There is some room for ambiguity on the part of Bruce Cochrane, the driver of Thumper in the first game. Having lived his whole life in fear within a neighborhood constantly torn apart by gang violence, he wished for all of that to end, and Calypso granted his wish. Bruce returned to his neighborhood to find that "... Calypso was not lying." There are two interpretations for that ending — either Calypso brought peace to the neighborhood, or he killed everyone so that there would be nobody left to kill and rob each other. In Head-On, Mortimer simply wishes to be able to return to his grave and sleep again. Calypso grants him this wish exactly as intended with no strings attached. Cousin Eddy's ending has him simply ask for a better RV, which Calypso grants just to make him leave him alone. In Twisted Metal: Black, No-Face, a former boxer, had gotten his ass kicked in a boxing match and was then malevolently butchered and mutilated by a back-alley doctor who lost money betting on him, having his eyes and tongue removed and his eyelids and mouth sewn shut. His wish was for revenge against the doctor. The next scene shows the doctor Bound and Gagged while No-Face is putting on a boxing glove covered with knives and scalpels. The scene ends just as the boxing glove is about to make contact with the doctor's face. There are also cases where the driver really did get their wish granted, but it ended badly for them. In the first game, the driver of Roadkill wishes to go back in time to undo the deaths of his platoon in the jungles of South America. Calypso tries to warn him of how dangerous this wish is, but grants it anyway. He is sent back in time and is almost immediately shot and killed at point blank range by an enemy soldier. Also in the first game, Charlie Kane, the driver of Yellow Jacket, asked for information on his son's whereabouts. It turned out that his son Needles was the driver of Sweet Tooth and a wanted Serial Killer, and that Charlie had actually killed him that night during the contest, helping to bring a feared criminal to justice. Charlie leaves with a sense of anguish and plans to re-enter the competition next year and wish for Calypso to take away his suffering. In the second game, Mr. Slam's driver, Simon Whittlebone, wished to build the tallest building ever, and he got his wish. However, he then got worried that other people would break his record, and so kept building his tower higher. In the end, he accidentally fell to his death. The ending for Captain Rogers, the driver of Warthog, in the second game is a case of semantics. Rogers wants to be young again, and when he wins the tournament he asks Calypso to give him the body of a twenty-year-old. One would assume that the head is included when one says "body", but Calypso doesn't. In the second game, Amanda Watts, the driver of Twister, wishes to be able to go at the speed of light. Calypso tunes her car so that it can do that, and she winds up breaking the laws of physics and traveling back in time, eventually running out of gas in the prehistoric era and getting stomped on by a dinosaur. Her sister Miranda in Head-On wishes that she can find her, and she comes back as a zombie. In 2, Mr. Grimm wishes for people to die faster so he can feed on their souls. Calypso does just that, causing people all over the world to fight and kill one another so Mr. Grimm could feast...at least until humanity went extinct, and he was left jonesing again. Also in 2, Bruce Cochran, the driver of Thumper, wishes to Take Over the World. Calypso grants him that very wish...too bad humanity was driven to extinction by the Twisted Metal contest, leaving Cochran to Go Mad from the Isolation, futilely screaming commands to the piles of corpses that constituted his "subjects". In Black, Agent Stone, the driver of Outlaw, wants to go back in time and spare an innocent family he accidentally killed while staking out a terrorist cell. He gets to go back, and he makes absolutely sure to only shoot the terrorists. Only he's not thorough enough, and one of them pops back up and shoots him in the head, killing him. Also in Black, the Preacher, the driver of Brimstone, has been possessed by a demon after performing an exorcism, and it causes him all kinds of mental anguish. Calypso promises to take away the demon if he wins. Only Calypso takes away the demon by informing Preacher that the demon was never real in the first place, and he's actually severely mentally ill. Preacher decides the only way to be free of the torment in his mind is to kill himself. In Black, Needles Kane, the driver of Sweet Tooth, is a serial killer who's caught and given the chair. However, Preacher shows up at his execution and curses him, which results in the flames on his head that he can never be rid of. Calypso promises to get rid of the curse if he wins. Calypso delivers, but he says the curse will return if Needles ever kills anyone. Needles decides he likes killing too much to give it up and that he'd rather live with the flames. His first new victim is Calypso himself. Needles' wish in the 2012 game is to find his daughter Sophie Kane, who stabbed him in his left eye and is the only person to have ever survived an encounter with him. He ends up getting teleported into her casket. She shot herself ten years prior, unable to take the grief of having witnessed her Serial Killer father murder her family. In the original draft, he finds Sophie, in this version not related to him and who has become a serial killer like him, and he falls in love with her right before she decapitates him with a pair of hedge clippers and uses his flaming head as a torch to hunt more civilians. 2012 Mr. Grimm wishes to go back in time to before his father died doing a stunt. He's teleported into his father's truck and causes him to crash, then is shot to death by his younger self, condemning him to a Stable Time Loop. In the first draft, he wishes to be able to successfully pull off the stunt that killed his father and is given a spectral bike to do exactly that. The bike makes the jump, but Mr. Grimm doesn't and falls to his death. In the second draft, he wishes to see his father again, and finds himself in his truck with the latter's 20-year-old corpse at the wheel before it drives them into a truck driven by Calypso. 2012 Dollface's wish is to become the world's most famous supermodel, specifically demanding that Calypso put her on the world's largest runway. She's teleported onto an airport runway and run over by a plane. Poor choice of words there. In the first draft, she wishes to have her mask removed like her Black counterpart, but is horrified by her own reflection, seeing minor imperfections that her imagination blows up into monstrosities. She puts her mask back on and walks into traffic. In the third draft, she gets the mask removed, only to see that her face is now horribly deformed (the text compares it to The Elephant Man), and she goes on a spree of murdering supermodels out of rage. And finally, there are those characters who recognize that Calypso is a Jackass Genie, and react accordingly. The drivers of Darkside in the first game and Minion in the second are demons who are there to straight-up take their powers back from Calypso, the latter throwing him into Hell for good measure, while Mr. Grimm in the first game is The Grim Reaper seeking to claim Calypso's soul. The drivers of Pit Viper in the first game, Grasshopper in the second, Quatro and Meter Maid in the fourth, Manslaughter in Black, Crimson Fury, Outlaw, Shadow, and Warthog in Small Brawl, and Crimson Fury and Outlaw in Head-On all enter in order to kill, arrest, or otherwise punish Calypso, and save for Outlaw and Warthog in Small Brawl and Outlaw in Head-On, they get exactly what they want. Sweet Tooth also manages to kill Calypso twice, once in Black and again in Head-On. Calypso himself does this in the fourth game, where Needles Kane has stolen his power and he enters the contest to take it back.

She wishes for Egon to fall in love with her and be the boss of the Ghostbusters. The genie does not twist her wishes actually; the jerk part is that it is not a real genie, but some sort of demon using the energy from Janine's wishes to open a gateway from the spirit world into Earth. In the Extreme Ghostbusters episode "Be Careful What You Wish For", the Monster of the Week takes the form of a mysterious salesman who grants people wishes of this type. For example, a guy wishes to be "made of money" and turns into a pile of bills. Eduardo wishes Kylie would show him the same respect she shows her cat, and he turns into her cat.

Jackass Genie / int_a8729c90	comment	In The Fairly OddParents!, this is how genies (or at least Norm) work. Cosmo and Wanda warn him that Genies are notoriously tricky and their wishes tend to bite the wisher in the butt. Why does Timmy Turner go through with it? While Timmy's first wish from Norm counts as a Literal Genie moment (Timmy wishes for an omelet, but not for it to appear on a plate), Norm gets immense satisfaction from the result of Timmy touching a burning hot omelet, and eating it off the ground. Again, when Timmy wishes that "Trixie Tang [his Love Interest] loves Timmy Turner," he goes so far as to include the names to prevent this trope. As a result, his love interest is now in love with everyone else in the world named "Timmy Turner". Later on, though, he proves his status as a Jerkass by granting Timmy's wish for a million dollars by having Timmy's Dad counterfeit the money and be on the run from the cops as a result. Curiously, when Timmy wishes he had a lawyer, Norm (inadvertently?) summons up one who's highly competent and succeeds in undoing the damage Norm has caused, rather than following his normal tendencies and giving Timmy an incompetent lawyer. Norm looked really confused when he grants the lawyer wish, so it's likely that his confusion results in him not really thinking about the wish, thus causing him to summon a competent lawyer. Within a time period of "fifteen legal minutes", the lawyer words a wish in a way that'll undo the harms caused by the second and the third wishes and release Cosmo and Wanda, but Norm still finds two ways to screw Timmy: when Timmy's Dad is taken back home from jail, his cellmate goes with him; and Trixie stops wanting to kiss everyone named "Timmy Turner" right when she's about to kiss him. When Crocker gets a hold of Norm, he wishes for a series of absurdly impractical deathtraps for Timmy, prompting Norm to act somewhat benevolent but only to suggest that Crocker is not evil enough and that "Mars is really nice this time of year." When Timmy defeats Crocker and asks Norm to send him to Mars, he's so delighted to have his suggestion taken that he provides Timmy with a spacesuit to enjoy seeing Crocker act out the ending of the original Total Recall. In a way though, Norm still acts this trope, because the wish involves someone getting hurt, which makes it easy for him. In general, it seems that the wishes Norm grants are jerkass in nature; even if the user is on the same page as him, he just can't help it if his wishes happen to backfire.

Similarly, the Dark Powers seem to spend a lot of time thinking up ways to give Darklords exactly what they say they want and take away what they actually want.

When we first see it, it seems to be more of a Literal Genie (an ugly girl wishes to be beautiful and becomes so fancy that everyone thinks she's out of their league). In the next strip, however, we get to see that there's more to it than just the wording of the wish. NSFW. Later, the Wishing Dolly enchants a man's penis so that it can cause whatever it enters to instantly have an orgasm and fall asleep; this is not only limited to women but even affects his own hand. Needless to say, he's quite sexually frustrated nowadays. His later attempts to deal with his frustration have to be seen to be believed. There are plenty of comically sociopathic characters. The Djinn is no exception, outright telling the guy who rubbed his lamp that he'll grant one wish, but if he doesn't wish to give the Djinn a blowjob, the Djinn will cut off his legs. The next panel shows his choice... and the consequences. All hail King Simon the Legless!

Jackass Genie / int_ac6b386d	comment	In Skullgirls there is the Skull Heart, which can grant any young woman her wish. If, however, that young woman's heart is impure, it will corrupt even a completely selfless wish into something horrible, and turn the wisher into a Humanoid Abomination to boot. The Skull Heart is also alive and sentient, wanting to make new Skullgirls to destroy the world. Its definition of "impure" is such that even the slightest iota of self-interest within a wish will make it turn the user into a Skullgirl. The past Skullgirls' wishes are as follows: Annie's mother wished for her daughter to remain a child forever to spare her from having to deal with harsh struggles and realities of being an adult. On top of becoming the Skullgirl, she trapped the now-forever-15-year-old Annie in an endless struggle against future generations of Skullgirls, burdening her anyways. Selene Contiello wished to bring back her family, recently murdered by Black Dahlia. She became the Skullgirl and her family was brought back as mindless undead minions save for her daughter Squigly, who only avoided the "mindless" part thanks to being bonded to the Parasite Leviathan and forcing her to help kill her. Queen Renoir wished to stop a massive world war. That wish was fulfilled by making her a Skullgirl so horrible and destructive that the countries had to stop fighting each other just to take her down. Ironically, the only Skullgirl whose wish seems to be fulfilled in a satisfactory way is that of the current Skullgirl, who wished for revenge against the Medici crime syndicate and depending on the story route chosen, gets her revenge before falling apart. In the story endings, some of the characters make wishes on the Heart. Fillia wishes to restore a normal life to Painwheel. Her wish is nearly pure, so she becomes a Skullgirl slowly, but Painwheel receives a normal life as Painwheel, and doesn't have any memory of her former life. Parasoul wishes that Umbrella will never become the Skullgirl, so she will become the Skullgirl in her place and leaving her time to train Umbrella for that inevitable battle. The only wish that isn't corrupted in any way among the original cast is Valentine's because she wished to become the Skullgirl. Miss Fortune narrowly avoids it: just as she's about to make a wish she realizes that this trope is in play and opts to destroy the Skull Heart, instead. Black Dahlia is another rare exception, as her wish on the Skull Heart in her ending not only doesn't backfire, it completely fulfills the qualifications of a Selfless Wish and causes it to vanish forever. Her wish? To be sent to a Death World where she can fight, maim, and kill for as long as she can stay alive. Because her wish provides no benevolent assistance to anyone else, nor does she truly obtain personal gain since it's all on her own ability to survive, it fulfills the Skull Heart's Blue-and-Orange Morality. It actually sounds overjoyed at her wish.

Oh, and his methods to bring about said end of the human race involve deliberately weakening Ryouta's immune system so he can infect him with a virus that kills any humans who come too close to him and then letting his childhood friend/love interest Hiyoko get fatally close to him to test the virus, which leaves Ryouta traumatized for life when he finds out about this.

During your visit, the CEO will offer you three choices, all of which will be rewarded in mean-spirited, cheap or just unnecessarily complicated ways: In your first wish, the CEO offers you a choice between eternal life and Eternal Love: picking eternal life will summon an extremely hungry vampire into the room while picking eternal love sets you up for a date with a violently horny succubus. For good measure, once you've killed that particular attacker, the CEO remarks that the succubus really did love you — it's just she didn't know how to express it. The second wish offers you money or power: choosing money gets you a single PAX credit — though picking it up causes another credit to appear in front of you, so you can technically earn quite a lot if you have the inventory space for it. But if you pick power, you get... a common household battery. Even the CEO apologizes for the terrible joke. Lastly, you're given a choice between musical talent and knowledge. Technically, this is the most beneficial of the wishes, but you've still got to jump through the hoops if you want it to actually benefit you. If you pick music, you're given a flute identical to the one encountered in "The Christmas Conspiracy," and are told to follow the music prompts; if you succeed, you get to keep the flute as a nifty cosmetic item. If you pick knowledge, you have to answer a series of riddles, the last of which can only be answered if you've been listening to the CEO's hints and can guess his true name: Mephistopheles. Answering correctly nets you a fragment of otherwise unattainable lore... about the Jinn.

The demons killed the rest of his clan and told him that since he's the only one left, he's now the strongest by default. That said, many of his cards have him using powerful demonic abilities, so it's possible they actually granted him the strength he asked for and then killed his clan anyway just to be even bigger assholes.

Jackass Genie / int_b4fe32c9	comment	The Invader Zim fanfic Gaz Dreams of Genie has an example mixed with Laser-Guided Karma. After breaking the lamp of Azie the genie and wasting her first two wishes, Gaz wishes for the power to grant her own wishes. Azie obliges... by switching places with Gaz, making her the genie and imprisoning her in the lamp, while stealing her place as Dib's sister. Not only that, but she also rewrites reality so that she, Azie, is and has always been Dib's sister and Professor Membrane's daughter, essentially erasing Gaz's previous life from history so no one will ever remember her. Gaz is left to fume inside the lamp prison, plotting her revenge, while unbeknownst to her, the lamp is stuffed in a crate and locked away in a Secret Government Warehouse. Gaz herself counts after the switch, as she vows to use her new powers to eventually escape and take revenge on Azie and Dib (whom she blames for the situation), or at the very least make her next master's life a living hell just because she can.

Since it has been corrupted by an evil force, it will interpret every wish as a desire for destruction. One of the examples given is that a wish to be the wealthiest man in the world would kill everyone richer than you. Another is when a character wished for world peace, the Grail stated its intention to grant that wish by killing everyone on the planet except for him and his daughter (can't have conflict if everyone is dead).

It's intentional; it's part of her vindictive personality — since her happiest moment was shot down, she'll be damned if others' wishes come true! From her backstory, it's insinuated she used to a Benevolent Genie when she first started granting wishes but quickly became bitter when she saw other people happy when she was so miserable.

Instead, he would stalk you and wait until you said to someone: "I wish you would die," at which point he'd melt the person alive with hell-slime. This is because the "genie" was really a demon, and killing people was the only "wish" that it could grant.

Jackass Genie / int_bc1dc95a	comment	The mundane version happens quite often in Pirates of the Caribbean. When the deals actually are fulfilled by both sides, usually someone has twisted the words of the agreement via either Loophole Abuse or Exact Words. Most notably and frequently, Barbossa, particularly in The Curse of the Black Pearl. First, Elizabeth manages to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal in return for the Medallion. However, she neglects to negotiate her return to shore. Barbossa quickly abuses this by kidnapping her, stating that her return to shore was not part of the agreement, and so he "must" do nothing. Next he points out that the Pirate's Code is only for pirates and thus he was being courteous by negotiating with her at all. Then finally he points out they don't actually have to follow these rules at all, and that they tend to bend or break them whenever it's convenient — the only time they're required to follow the rules is when Captain Teague is around who will shoot a man dead for even suggesting they break the code. Secondly, when Will reveals himself as the son of Bootstrap Bill (meaning Barbossa explicitly needs him alive), he negotiates that in return for giving himself up, the crew will not be harmed, and Elizabeth goes free. The crew ends up imprisoned (no word on what the final plan for the crew was after the curse was broken), and Elizabeth was forced to walk the plank with Jack and marooned on a deserted island. Jack attempts to do this to Davey Jones in Dead Man's Chest when they negotiate one hundred souls in return for Jack's freedom. While Jack has every intention of fulfilling that agreement (at first), he tries to rustle up the one hundred souls from the island of Tortuga.

The following night, Elmyra wishes on the same star, saying that she wants her Barbette doll to be just like her other dolls. Instead of turning her Barbette doll back to the way she was before, the star brings all her other dolls to life, who act just as selfish, rude, and arrogant as Barbette.

It works, but instead of being sent home, the characters are transformed into fruit for a smoothie. Oddly enough, there are two alternate endings in which Squidward asks for SpongeBob and Patrick to never have met him (except it just makes them forget Squidward, before they are quickly reintroduced), and Patrick asks for chewing gum to have fresh breath.

Jackass Genie / int_bff01809	comment	In Warhammer, Daemons of Tzeentch love using this trope. It helps that most people are too terrified by their appearance to focus on wording the wish correctly. It should also be mentioned that Tzeentch and his servants have an infamous reputation amongst tabletop players and especially 1d4 chan for being Trolls, due to their Jackass Genie tendencies. The Warhammer spinoff game Mordheim features a character who made the mistake of wishing for a Lord of Change to make him the greatest mage in the world. The daemon did just that, making him 15 feet tall. A story from the "Tales of the Ten-Tailed Cat" comic has three adventurers releasing a Lord of Change, who grants them all one wish. The first wishes to live forever, and is turned into a vampire and then killed by the dwarf. The second wishes for the power of flight, and is turned into a fly. Finally, the dwarf wishes to be worth his weight in gold and is turned into a gold statue. The Changeling (also a Tzeentchian Daemon) is even worse. In Warhammer 40,000, he once "assisted" a rebellious governor who found himself standing on the wrong end of a Dark Angels assault. The Changeling bargained the souls of the man's daughters for a device that would bring the siege to an end. It turned out to be the teleportation homer for a squad of Deathwing Terminators. Naturally, the siege quickly ended. Tzeentch himself likes to join in the fun on occasion; once, he overheard a Space Marine Chapter Master who, worried that his Chapter's dealing with the Inquisition was killing more innocents than heretics, prayed for a means to tell who was lying and who wasn't. Tzeentch "blessed" the Chapter by letting them hear every single lie spoken in the entire Imperium. The unlucky recipient swiftly went insane and turned traitor in almost record time.

There's also an efreeti in a bottle. If the players try to bargain with the efreeti to let him out, he'll grant three wishes but will be a jackass about it. If the players mishandle his bottle in any way he won't even give them that; he simply attacks them outright. If the players open the bottle without attempting to bargain with the efreeti, however, he'll grant their three wishes without any malice.

Jackass Genie / int_cae652c	comment	Alluka from Hunter Ã— Hunter is an interesting example. She has the ability to grant 'any' wish, provided that whoever's with her fulfills three of her requests. The downside is that it's not the wisher who gets screwed... but the next person she asks for her requests. If the previous wish was very complex, her requests become much more severe (such as asking for body parts) and if her requests are refused four times in a row, the person and their loved ones are reduced to pools of blood. Her brother Killua reveals that he understands her wish-granting better than everybody else, and can negate all the downsides of this by instead of wishing for her to grant something, commanding her to do it. He's very careful to keep the rest of his family from finding this out, and it's likely that she'll only obey "commands" from Killua since he's the only one who treated her like a person, let alone family, rather than just a wish-granting object.

Snorkmaiden is the one who first awakens him, and she asks for a pearl necklace, which she receives. Later that night, the Spirit reads Moomin's mind and learns about his worries that the play his father's trying to write won't turn out good enough, so he decides to go rewrite that play without anyone knowing about it. The next day, Snorkmaiden and Little My get in trouble as it turns out the necklace belongs to Mrs. Fillyjonk and the Spirit stole it, and Moominpappa is upset that someone wrote his play for him as he wants the story to come from himself, until Snufkin points out that the rewritten version is actually plagiarized (it's Romeo and Juliet). As such, the police inspector decides that the lamp is too much trouble to keep around, so he keeps watch over it until a week passes and they can make the one wish that the Spirit actually grants properly: bring the Hobgoblin over to Moominvalley, so he can bring the lamp to another planet where it will never be found.

However, Count Veger shows up with a gun and demands that he be turned into one instead. You can guess what happens.

All whom backfires royally on you; wishing to be a celebrity turns you into the star of a Barney the Dinosaur-esque children's show, which you despises, while wishing your favorite video game to come to life will have the game's characters trying to kill you. The worst outcome is probably wishing to be world-famous... and Jenna then turns you into a painting, still aware of your surroundings but unable to do anything.

The king who frees the genie is eventually killed by him out of romantic jealousy, and uses his dying breath to rue his act of charity. Then the genie, not wanting to be separated from his beloved, wishes them together, only to end up a prisoner of a magic mirror, which the Queen does in fact converse with often. The genie's schtick ties into something that is often stated, usually by Rumplestiltskin: "All magic has a price."

It seems to end up a big lesson in Be Careful What You Wish For: wishing for everyone in the world to be nice ended up with them cowed to obedience, wishing for adventures turned out to be boring because there was no challenge when you could decide exactly what would happen, etc. Then it turned out that the genie was not so much a Genie in a Bottle as a Sealed Evil in a Can that was poised to Take Over the World at will now that he was released (what with being The Omnipotent and all), but also liked to grant mortals wishes and make them go wrong.

Maxo accepts the offer, thinking it might come in handy at some point. Much later, Maxo wants to resurrect one of his friends, and the demon uses that to sneak out of his prison dimension in the guise of that resurrected friend. What pushes it over into this trope is that not only was that not what Maxo wanted, but Maxo did not intend to use the Wish, and didn't even say "I wish Candesco were brought back to life."

Jackass Genie / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer's vengeance demons. Sometimes the wisher gets taken out (or is at risk of being taken out) by the wish at the same time as the subject of their vengeance because the vengeance demon behind the wish didn't think about the potential consequences (or didn't think they'd be important). This can, occasionally, backfire on the demon in question... for instance, in one Season Six episode, Halfrek curses everyone at the Summers house to stay in the house forever, and then makes the mistake of dropping by the house to gloat, with the result that she gets stuck in her own curse and has to reverse it. Another example is an unnamed vengeance demon's head exploding after a wisher asked for the heads of every other female in town to explode. Anya managed to use her vengeance demon powers to spark the Russian Revolution. This ends up biting D'Hoffryn, the lord of the vengeance demons, in the ass during the Season 10 comics. When Buffy and the Scoobies confront him and are fully prepared to kill him, he tries to bargain with them, offering them each one wish if they let him live. Buffy turns him down, knowing there will always be a catch, and chops his head off.

Jackass Genie / int_e4318c3f	comment	In the Opposites Destroy, the heroes are forced to fight Djinn, a Genie of the necklace who had a habit of manipulating his masters' wishes to produce the worst possible outcome as he believed that genies should rule humans rather than serve them. Djinn has a long history of bending the rules of geniehood to harm his masters as much as possible by twisting their wishes, with it being lampshaded that even Jafar, as bad as he was, had far less experience as one than Djinn does. For example, if a master wished to meet a nice girl, where Genie might send him to a well where a nice girl goes to get water, the average Jerk Genie would just drop the master next to the nearest available girl regardless of factors such as age or personality, and Djinn would transport them to the daughter of a mercenary in the hopes that he'd be killed by said man. Djinn hates Genie so much because when they ended up with the same master, Genie actively interfered with him doing this, and Djinn, hating his servitude and believing that genies should rule the world, vowed revenge. Djinn first appears when he is able to manipulate a little girl who has just heard Aladdin's story into making a sequence of wishes that free him from the usual limitations of genies while retaining his full power, and one of his first acts is to kill his would-be master just because he could before flying to Agrabah to try and kill Genie.

The catch is, however, that once he grants your wishes you get trapped in his bottle and he is set free, and the only way to escape is to learn magic (which will take thousands of years according to the genie) and grant wishes to trade out with another victim.

He then asked for a slightly easier encounter and got a pathetically easy encounter. The backstory of Mr. Fingers, the Finger Horror involves a demon who accepts a farmer's plea to cure his son of nightmares. The demon successfully extracted the source of the nightmares from the kid's mind... then set the nightmares loose into reality, where they fled to the deepest darkest corners of the world they could find, and started to breed... In one of the Alternate Universes, a hero made a wish to bring his wife back to life after she was decapitated. The wish rewrote reality in such a way that no-one in that reality can die as a result of being beheaded anymore.

Jackass Genie / int_edaffe15	comment	In The Bartimaeus Trilogy, "demons" such as Bartimaeus highly resent the magicians who summon and bind them (well-deserved. It's basically slavery), and actively search for any loophole in the magician's power or orders. In addition to usual malicious literalness, one popular method they use is to creatively interpret pauses for breath as periods, rendering commands completely worthless if the magician can't get them off in one breath. Some spirits are more creative with this than others. They usually do follow orders as long as they are worded correctly without obvious loopholes, but it is mentioned that Nathaniel once encountered one who allegedly required a command half an hour long just to correctly fill his bath. Most spirits are reluctant to go that far, as wizards don't require a spirit's assistance to use torture spells on their slaves. Also, that's not even getting into what happens if a demon learns the summoner's True Name, or worse if the summoner botches a summoning ritual. When trying to summon high-level spirits, even the smallest mistake can get one eaten alive.

For example, when Lambik wished for the genie to give them some allies that didn't have to be very tall, he instead gave their enemies three giants as allies. This is not because the genie is evil or malicious, but more that he is extremely clumsy. He always apologizes afterward for his screw ups. Eventually, both Wiske and Jerom get smart enough to realize the genie's flaw and exploit it by actually wishing for the exact opposite of what they really want. When Jerom defeated the giants, he wished for 3 more giants. The result: the genie screwed up again and accidentally made the 3 already existing giants disappear, exactly what Jerom really wanted.

While Citrus Twisty thanks KO for freeing her, she refuses to turn Rad back to normal with the claim that using the second wish to free her means that she's no longer obligated to grant the third wish. Even when KO suggests that Citrus Twisty could still turn Rad back to normal as a show of gratitude for him wishing for her freedom, Twisty rudely refuses and just flies off, leaving Rad stuck as a burger until the next episode.

Jackass Genie / int_fc1ccc3	comment	Like the genie from the Wishmaster movies, the blue genie in Tales of the Arabian Nights falls under this only because "Evil Genie" isn't available. He appears to be an unbound genie who kidnaps princesses and destroys towns just because he can, and can only be defeated with an enchanted scimitar.

Jackass Genie / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: Sci-fi version with Q, a superpowerful Energy Being alien who can grant wishes but most of the time with some dark twist or some "lesson" he wants to teach specially to Picard. Q also plays a similar role in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager appearances.
