YMMV / Trust Me, I'm a Genie

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Ziggy. Is he a lovable Anti-Hero, a Villain Protagonist or just a Jerkass Woobie who desires freedom?
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Joe. Although the show doesn't have much of a fanbase due to obscurity, fans that watch the show seem to be rather fond of the British, snarky, classy, show-off, cynic of a desert fox.
• Jerkass Woobie: Ziggy. Especially in the series finale where he is called "the worst genie of all time". He's hot-tempered, sarcastic, has somewhat of an ego and even lies, cheats and steals to help Diego fulfill his final wish but he spends so hard trying to get himself free from his can prison that one can't help but feel sorry for him. There's this and the fact that he looks absolutely adorable when he cries.
• Moe: The child versions of Joe and Zazie in the episode Back To School.
  • Ziggy becomes this whenever he cries.
• Unpopular Popular Character: Ziggy is somewhat of an in-universe Base-Breaking Character with Diego and his friends (Diego and Zazie like him, Larry and Sonia are neutral to him and Joe and Tony find him annoying) but he's generally well-loved by the audience because of his funny lines and Jerkass Woobie status.
• The Woobie: Diego.
  • The ghost from the Midnight Haunt episode. Half of the episode, he was completely terrified of everyone before Ziggy helped him out.
  • Droma the camel mummy from the episode Chaos At The Museum, after Ziggy breaks the artifact thus separating him from his love.
