to:

* AttemptedRape: During his wish to be more eloquent, Stanley manages to get Margaret's adulation with his pretentious lectures and attempts to encourage her to drop her inhibitions, at which point she gets scared and starts backing out; Stanley doesn't get the message and forces himself on her, resulting in her fighting him off and screaming "rape." Only then does Stanley realize the nature of his actions, hastily ending his wish in response.

Aversion. (Zero-Context Example)
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishForBeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The running joke of the film is that George, being literally Satan, introduces catches to every one of Stanley's wishes so that they backfire spectacularly on him. Stanley wishing to be more articulate results in him getting so caught up in his pretentions that he nearly rapes Margaret, Stanley wishing to be ultra-wealthy with Margaret as his "physical" wife results in her cheating on him, Stanley wishing to be a famous pop star results in him only getting FifteenMinutesOfFame, Stanley accidentally wishing to be a fly on the wall is taken literally, Stanley wishing for him and Margaret to have a quiet country life results in them being participants in an affair that they can't bear to consummate, Stanley trying to make an un-abusable wish results in him and Margaret becoming nuns in a covenant, and [[spoiler:Stanley's wish for a raspberry ice lolly counted even though George just walked down the street and bought one]].



* BlowingARaspberry: How Stanley ends each wish, but averted when his numerous raspberries do nothing to stop the final wish (other than earn a few dirty looks from the nuns).
