Why did the genie from Disneys Aladdin (1992) do a Rodney Dangerfield

Theory: Is Aladdin actually in the future????????

>>92372890
1. Its a cartoon. It broke the fourth wall a bunch

2. They were letting Robin Williams go off on his tangents. Definitely wouldn't have been in the script.

Actually, from a nonlinear, non-subjective viewpoint, time is more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey ... stuff.

>quoting Dr. Who irl.

Please leave my thread.

Disney magic makes you think in anachronisms. See Merlin, Mushu, and that bit in Beauty and the Beast where the enchanted objects make an Eiffel Tower.

A shitty "dude this cartoon movie doesn't make sense chronologically!!" thread seemed the perfect time to dig up a Doctor Who quote.

there was obviously an ancient Dangerfield and William F Buckley back then (he mentions how long he was in the bottle but I forget).

My guess is that its their pre-civilization relatives who act/look just like them.

He was in there ten thousand years, which corresponds to the Atlantean era irl.

Was this a prequel?

also if atlantans had access to Genie technology why not wish for Atlantis not to fall into the sea?

This seems to imply that when the immortal genie was freed he did not, in fact, become Rodney Dangerfield in the far future.

Maybe they put him in there because he was a bad guy, but thousands of years imprisonment gave him time to reflect on his mistakes and reform.

Has anyone ever seen Rodney Dangerfield and Jack Nicholson in the same room?

>>92373102
This has always been my favorite explanation of how Disney magic works. Especially the way it's used in sword and the stone.

The Genie is like Dr. Manhattan, he doesn't experience time linearly like you and I.

>Genie retired the Dangerfield persona to become Nicholson full-time

Fuck Genie.

Realism fags are the fucking worst. If this isn't a shitpost seek help.

PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER

>>92372890

Merlin in the sword in the stone in aware of modern time and seemingly all of history and can time travel pretty easily, to the point that he is easily confused by the major events and characters of history he is interacting with.


So it's not even the first Disney movie that had a character that is meta aware.

dude, who's to say genies experience time the way humans do

he probably can see the past/future all in the present

just like when a 3d person comes in to a 2d world

also >>92372960
they're jokes to the viewers, genies can also see the audience because they're outside the conventional world Aladdin is in and because Genie can see us, he can be a jokeful character and even tries to tricks and entertain us with a story... if the true that he's the salesman/narrator at beginning

>>92376773
>Merlin in the sword in the stone in aware of modern time

Isn't that just because Merlin is supposed to have lived backwards to time?

>>92372890
I was a kid at the time and I already had some peripheral awareness of Rodney Dangerfield. I don't think I'd seen anything substantial involving the man himself, but I had already encountered other cartoons spoofing him.

>>92377336
I just remember the Simpsons episode, but I didn't know who he was in that and just saw him as Mr. Burns' loser son.

You're both faggots, you more than him.
