2019’s Aladdin is definitely one of Disney’s most notable live-action remakes. Crossing over a billion dollars worldwide, and even having a spinoff headed to Disney Plus, it seems the remake has connected with a large amount of its audience. One popular standout of the film is its interpretation of the Genie, played by Will Smith.
Smith may not be Robin Williams, but he doesn’t have to be. His own imagining of the Genie should be able to stand apart of Williams’s. Fans seem to think that it does, as they’ve created many hilarious memes about Smith’s Genie. Here are ten of those memes that you can share with a friend like Genie.
I’m Mister Aladdin, Sir
![Aladdin: 10 Hilarious Will Smith Genie Memes That Have Us Laughing](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Genie-As-Mr-Meeseeks-From-Rick-And-Morty.jpg)
The Genie and the Meeseeks from Rick and Morty have many things in common. An obvious similarity is that they’re both blue, but aside from that, both of their purposes was to complete a task for someone else. Neither of them chose their identities at the start for themselves.
Only the Genie resists this, but the Meeseeks thrive on this. Genie wants to be free and decide who he wants to be, while the Meeseeks want someone else to make that decision for them.
Genies Have Layers

Having Shrek as Genie may not seem like an obvious pairing at first, but when given some thought, it does make sense. Both of them were slaves to society in their own ways. Genie had to bend to the whims of everyone who rubbed the lamp, and Shrek had to conform to the societal definitions of beauty in Duloc.
Both of them were slaves, and both of them were able to break free with the help of their friends. Aladdin set Genie free, and Fiona and Donkey appreciated Shrek for who he was. Both of them were fortunate enough to have friends who supported their journeys.
Gotta Wish Fast

The recent Sonic the Hedgehog film sparked a huge amount of controversy online, much like Smith’s Genie when his appearance was first revealed. When both designs were shown for the first time, many fans thought they were unappealing and vastly different from what they were based on.
Producers heard fans’ voices and gave the designs tweaks, giving us new, more digestible versions of the characters. The Sonic shown in the meme may never see the light of day, but it can still be a sign for how far we’ve come.
How To Be A Genie Live!

The Genie is pretty accustomed to singing, having songs like “Friend Like Me” and “Prince Ali”. But the movies have yet to show him performing on a stage at a concert before. Fortunately, this meme gives a pretty good idea of what that would look like.
In the meme, Genie can be seen playing a huge instrument alongside the Blue Man Group. This is just one of the many things Genie can try as he travels across the world.
Genie Buu
![](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/The-Genie-From-Aladdin-As-Majin-Buu-From-Dragon-Ball-Z.jpg)
Genie already has the power to rival the abilities of Majin Buu from Dragon Ball Z. He can take on multiple forms, has incredible speed, and can conjure up things from virtually thin air. In fact, he may be able to give Buu a run for his money.
However, supposing Buu could defeat the Genie and absorb him, this is probably what that fusion would look like. The only thing to figure out is what Buu’s new name would be after he’s absorbed the Genie.
Terry Smith

Many people believe Smith did a nice job playing the Genie, but he wasn’t everyone’s first choice. Some people would have preferred Kevin Hart, while Gabriel Iglesias was in early talks with Smith. One popular contender for the role was Terry Crews.
Crews has starred in projects like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, Regular Show, and Deadpool 2, so he isn’t a stranger to the realm of comedy or fantasy. Maybe one day, he’ll get the chance to star in one of Disney’s remakes.
Will Smurf
![](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/A-Smurf-As-Will-Smiths-Genie-In-Aladdin.jpg)
There seems to be a smurf for every attribute imaginable. There’s Papa Smurf, Brainy Smurf, Clumsy Smurf, Hefty Smurf, and much more than that. However, in all the years of The Smurfs, there haven’t been too many Genie Smurfs introduced. That is, until now.
This looks like one smurf that Gargamel can’t wait to capture. One as big and powerful as the Genie Smurf is sure to contain a plentiful amount of smurf essence. The only cause for concern for Gargamel is if he sings more than the average smurf.
He Wasn’t Your Genie
![](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Yondu-From-Guardians-Of-The-Galaxy-As-Will-Smith-In-Aladdin.jpg)
Yondu’s sacrifice for Peter is not only one of the most beautifully heartbreaking moments of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but of the entire MCU as a whole. It’s a fulfilling transition from how his character was first introduced, and it left a sad mark on the franchise.
At least this meme is here for those still mourning the loss. Seeing Will Smith’s face on Yondu, especially in such a serious moment, provides some lighthearted humor that all of us could use right now.
The Strongest Wills
![](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Will-Smiths-Genie-From-Aladdin-As-Thanos.jpg)
If Thanos sang, danced, and granted wishes, the Avengers films probably would have turned out very differently. For one, he most likely would’ve won in the end, given that one of his children could just make the wish. He also would have to have a musical number, in order for the audience to be truly immersed.
If Genie traveled planets and killed half of the population on everyone, it certainly would’ve made Aladdin a darker film. Given that the Genie is kind, he probably wouldn’t be able to keep that up for long, though. Perhaps it’s for the best that these characters are where they are in their universes.
The Fresh Genie Of Agrabah

Finally, in this meme, the Genie joins the world of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, or in this case, Agrabah. This pairing only makes sense, seeing as how Smith has starred in both Fresh Prince and Aladdin. Another thing they have in common is their catchy tunes.
Between Genie’s song in Aladdin and Will Smith’s theme song in Fresh Prince, the two are simply radiating musical talent. The only thing left is to figure out Genie’s lyrics for his theme song.
