* CurseEscapeClause: Agrabbah was once attacked by a would-be conqueror while Aladdin, Jasmine and Genie were away on other business. In desperation, the Sultan donned a suit of enchanted armor that would make him "as strong as stone". The armor allowed him to defeat the conqueror, but also allowed the spirit of the armor's original wearer, an evil sultan of Agrabbah's past, to possess him, turning him evil and paranoid to the point where he tried having Jasmine executed. Aladdin realized that "as strong as stone" meant that the armor drew its magic from a stone statue of the evil sultan, and was able to break the spell and restore Jasmine's father to his old self by coercing him into destroying the statue.

!!Tropes used in the animated series:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:A-G]]
* ActionGirl: Jasmine, who takes down Mozenrath in one episode and survives an Amazonian training course in another.
** That's not even mentioning her time as 'Scourge of the Desert'.
* ActorAllusion: The Genie says [[TheSimpsons D'oh!]] at least once (complete with a face resembling Homer Simpson).
* AncientGreece: Not the series itself, but the crossover episode "Hercules and the Arabian Night" strongly implies that "Aladdin" takes place in the exact same time period as Hercules (ie, the time of Hellenistic Greece).
** Mechanicles is from there.
* AlasPoorVillain: Arbutus.
* AllAmazonsWantHercules: In Queen Hippsodeth's first appearance, she's defeated by the Sultan, and suffers a minor [[VillainousBreakdown breakdown]]; by her next appearance, she's smitten with him.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: All four of the main villains have done this with the palace (and sometimes Agrahbah as a whole) at least once. Abis Mal in "Forget Me Lots", Mechanicles in "I Never Mechanism I Didn't Like", Mirage in "While the City Snoozes", and Mozenrath in "Black Sand".
* AnachronismStew: Apparently, the writers once again mixed up ''medieval'' Arabia with ''ancient'' Arabia. The Greeks Aladdin runs into seem to be from ancient Greece.
* AnimationBump: In the Walt Disney Japan[[note]]and TamaProductions[=/=]AnimalYa[[/note]] and Australia-animated episodes.
** The Genie whenever KennedyCartoons animated had the benefit of reusing bits of movie animation. This made him move much more fluidly than whenever anyone else animated.
* ArtifactOfDoom: In the episode "Armored and Dangerous", the Sultan puts on the invincible armor of Kileem, a powerful warlord, and ends up being [[BlessedWithSuck taken over by the spirit]] [[DemonicPossession of the warlord himself]].
* ArtShift: Genie's explanation of man in "The Secret of Dagger Rock" is drawn in UPA style.
* AssInAmbassador: The ambassadors in "Riders Redux", who boss Jasmine around and constantly threaten war.
* BadassBack: Mozenrath [[HandBlast blasts]] Jasmine to the ground this way at one point.
* BadassGrandpa: The Sultan, surprisingly.
* BadBoss: Mirage, on the rare occasion she's shown with followers. At one point she leaves a bunch of her loyal minions to die (minions made from ''kidnapped children'') simply because a different one dared to say "no" to her.
* BadGuyBar: The Skull and Dagger.
* BalefulPolymorph: Over the course of the series, Aladdin becomes a shark, the Sultan becomes a small gold statue, and Iago becomes a genie (when he acquires Genie's powers). Jasmine becomes a rat, an ugly snake creature, a small purple jewel, and (in the span of ten seconds) a koala, a carrot and the Mona Lisa. But Abu holds the crown for being the victim of so many transformations (due to Genie) that listing them all would be pointless.
** Other examples include a woman who turns into a jackal in the moonlight (and her husband who was changed into a magical treasure). One of Aladdin's friends becomes a monster due to Mirage.
* BarbarianTribe: The Odifferous. They're ''usually'' friendly, although their leader isn't the brightest, making it relatively easy to set him against the heroes.
* BastardUnderstudy: Mozenrath's backstory.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Haroud has the unfortunate job of being [[HarmlessVillain Abis Mal]]'s lackey, but makes up for it by being [[HypercompetentSidekick much, much smarter than his boss]].
* BenevolentGenie: Eden; when Dondi's first wish is for a sandwich, Eden allows her to take it back, and convinces her to wish to never be hungry again.
** And, once again, our blue pal.
* BerserkButton: Amin Damoola's is being called by his nickname Butterfingers. Mechanicles' SuperOCD should say enough.
* BestHerToBedHer: After the Sultan rescues his daughter Jasmine from the Galafems, an army of Amazon-like warrior women, we find out in a later episode that their leader, Queen Hipsodeth has fallen for the Sultan, the only man to ever defeat her in battle.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Chaos period... pissing him off is a REALLY bad idea.
* BigBadEnsemble: Abis Mal, Mechanicles, Mirage and Mozenrath. The 1st appears the most often, the 2nd has the most dangerous arsenal, the 3rd is the incarnation of all evil and the 4th is the most serious villain on the series.
* BilingualBonus / MeaningfulName: One episode has Mozenrath seeking the power of Shamash, which turns out to be a miniature sun. The Hebrew word for sun is Shemesh (or Shamash in certain grammatical uses).
** This is also a case of YouFailLinguisticsForever, as a ''shamash'' is a liturgic position in Judaism, or the candle used to light the other candles on a ''khanukiya''.
*** Most of the names in the series are fake Arabic/Persian sounding for foreign flavor, but some are real or close to real. Mozenrath's mamluks (though mispronounced as "mamlock"), for example, come from an Arabic word meaning "owned" and refer to slave-soldiers imported from Central Asia primarily to serve in Egypt. Some of the other names are real too, like Aladdin, Khartoum the sorcerer, Fatima and Aziz, two of Aladdin's former partners in crime; and Farida, one of the sand witches. The urchin Waheed's name is real as well, and fittingly means "lonely." Ayam Aghoul, though intended as a lame pun (I am a ghoul), is one letter away from being a possible Arabic phrase, ayam al-ghoul, which would mean "days of the demon."
* BittersweetEnding: The plant being Arbutus kidnaps Jasmine as payback for a slight the Sultan committed against him decades ago. Aladdin rescues Jasmine and kills Arbutus, but by then, Arbutus had been shown in a sympathetic light, and was more a victim than a villain.
* BlindSeer: Fasir.
* BodyHorror: Mozenrath's gauntlet gives him remarkable magical powers, [[PowerAtAPrice but at a cost]], as the hand he wears it on has been [[RedRightHand completely stripped of its flesh]].
* BoisterousBruiser: The Odifferous are a tribe of these.
* {{Brainwashed}}: Happens to all of the main cast at some point.
* BuffySpeak: Abis Mal.
* ButtMonkey: Iago. According to the DVDCommentary, the filmmakers' motto was "When in doubt, hurt the bird."
* CanisLatinicus: "Bobolonius", the name of the Sultan's grandfather, and possibly the Sultan.
* CanonDiscontinuity
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin:
** Happens once again to Jasmine in "Do The Rat Thing," in an even bigger way than in the movie. After he says she couldn't understand what it means to be a street rat, she decides to spend a day in the marketplace pretending to be a poor thief to prove to Aladdin she can do it. While there, she is goaded into stealing a small trinket just once to prove to an angry thug that she can. The shopkeeper (Fasir the mystic in his first appearance) promises horrible mystical vengeance should she go through with the act, but since she was only pretending, she figured she could get away with the robbery then come back to pay later. Turns out the trinket was actually a magical cursed artifact that immediately turns her into a rat. Oops.
*** Made funnier becausr the item is a magic mirror which does nothing by itself, but will transform whoever looks at their reflection and says they are "something" into that thing: Jasmine says she ''is'' "a street rat" while admiring herself in the mirror after successfuly stealing it, and the mirror [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor does as she says]]...
* CastFromLifespan: Mozenrath's gauntlet draws magic power at the cost of his lifespan and possibly (see WordOfDante in the Trivia tab) his flesh.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "It's showtime!" Most commonly Genie but everyone gets a crack at it.
** Mechanicles is "[[LargeHam The master of machines!]]" or "Greatest Of The Great Greek Geniuses!"
** Abis-Mal, after having his sentences finished by Haroud: "I was ''going'' to say that!"
* CatsAreMean: Mirage.
-->'''Iago:''' She's mean! She's beyond mean! She invented "mean"!
* ChangedMyMindKid: Iago and Abu at the end of "The Secret of Dagger Rock". Subverted in that they [[TheCavalryArrivesLate arrived late]].
* CharacterExaggeration: Genie. Unfortunately.
* TheCharmer: Aladdin.
* ChekhovsGun: In "Lost and Founded", Iago, Abu, and Genie make Founder's Day merchandise to sell to the people of Agrabah. Genie keeps a spill-proof cup for himself. Later, he uses it to [[spoiler:contain the time portal.]]
* ChickMagnet: A fun drinking game is to chug every time a girl has the hots for Aladdin.
* CityOfAdventure: Agrabah, especially in the later episodes. (Earlier they visited a lot more AdventureTowns.)
* ClockKing: Meckanikles.
* {{Cloudcuckooland}}: Odiferus.
* ControlFreak: Mechanicles.
* CriminalAmnesiac: Jasmine in "Forget Me Lots".
* {{Crossover}}: With ''[[Disney/{{Hercules}} Hercules: The Animated Series]]''.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The Sultan is (or at least was) this, apparently. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome You should see all the ass he kicks in]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsEHnnHsIsc#t=16m26s episode 75.]] I mean, ''somebody'' had to run a kingdom so rife with disaster before Aladdin came along, right?
** The Sultan's badassery is touched on in a mid-1990s ''DisneyAdventures'' comic, which features a flashback to a young Sultan brandishing a sword on horseback while kicking some villains out of his kingdom.
* CueTheFlyingPigs: Happens when genies fall in love.
* CuteBruiser: Scara.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Jasmine in "Eye of the Beholder".
* CuteWitch: Sadira.
* DeadpanSnarker: Haroud, Iago, Mozenrath, Aladdin, and, on occasion, Jasmine.
* DeathIsDramatic: [[spoiler:Arbutus's death in ''Garden of Evil'', so very much.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Rajah. WordOfGod says that this is because his stripes are a lot tougher for the lower-budget TV animation studios. It's not especially noticable since he was never a very important character to begin with.
* DePower[=/=]PowerLimiter: As a side-effect of being freed, the Genie has gone from having [[RealityWarper "Phenomenal Cosmic Powers"]] in the film to only possessing "''Semi''-Phenomenal, ''Nearly'' Cosmic Powers" in the series. His magic is still useful, but usually [[TheWorfEffect too weak to defeat the regular foe of each episode]], or he is otherwise TooIncompetentToOperateABlanket without the RestrainingBolt of being forced to grant specific wishes like "defeat my enemy" which would be a StoryBreakerPower. This is a NecessaryWeasel to keep the genie from being a GodModeSue answer to all of Aladdin's recurring foes.
* DeusExMachina
* DisneyDeath
* TheDragAlong: Iago. In fact, at least 1/3 of all his lines are complaints about this.
* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: Aladdin manages to pull this trick on Genie in "Genie Hunt" after the latter gets frightened by Rajah.
-->'''Aladdin:''' You were scared.
-->'''Genie:''' Was not.
-->'''Aladdin:''' Were too.
-->'''Genie:''' Was not.

-->'''Genie:''' [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons D'OH!]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Subverted, when Jasmine is turned into a snake-woman, our heroes brave through a multitude of challenges to find the cure, which Mirage destroys before they can use it; defeated, Jasmine wants the others to leave her, so [[TakeAThirdOption Aladdin turns himself into a snake to stay with Jasmine]].
** Double subverted, Mirage takes solace in that while she couldn't break the love between the two, at least they'll live the rest of their lives as monsters; Fasir insists that they beat her, and [[DeusExMachina gives them the cure]].
* EasilyForgiven: The sprites. The first episode they appear ends with them almost killing everyone in the palace. By their second appearance, when Mozenrath has captured them, they're treated like poor, innocent creatures who must be rescued.
* EmbarrassingRescue: Captain al-Butros, an heroic sailor doesn't want Aladdin, a landlubber, to rescue him from Mechanikles, saying it's not manly. Iago TakesAThirdOption, letting Aladdin rescue him, while Butros tags along to protect him; the captain finds this much more agreeable.
* EmotionsVsStoicism: Kapok is a literal Head vs. Heart case, with his cold calculating head and his emotional heart; naturally the head is evil while the heart is good. As a powerful wizard, the heart defeats the head with a spell that decapitates himself, leaving the heart in full control of the body.
* EvilCounterpart: Again, Mozenrath, towards Aladdin. If rumors are to be believed, there were plans to reveal they were in fact brothers. Said rumors being helped by just how much they look alike.
* EvilerThanThou: Mozenrath ends up on both sides of this. He proved to be the bigger evil against Destane, but the lesser evil against Khartoum.
* EvilGloating: In "Shadow of a Doubt", Mirage captured Jasmine, Carpet, Abu and Iago, and releases them as her obelisk destroys Agrabah, just so she can gloat.
* EvilIsBigger: The T-Rex in "Much Abu About Something". Doubly awesome that the tiny Abu defeats it.
* EvilIsHammy: So many of the villains.
* EvilSorcerer: Mozenrath, Caliph Kapok, Khartoum, and probably a few more.
* EvilTwin: Aladdin is faced with an evil version of himself, thanks to [[RealityWarper Chaos]]. Though aside from how the twin looks, he's really more of Aladdin's [[DumbMuscle complete]] [[EvilIsPetty opposite]] than anything else.
* EyePoke: In one episode, a magic disembodied hand is sent to attack Al. Inevitably, it pulls this move on him, but Aladdin is GenreSavvy enough to use the hand block on it.
* FaceHeelTurn: Mirage, according to Fasir.
* FatAndSkinny: Abis Mal and Harud.
** Abis Mal and Mechanicles when they temporarily teamed up. When they're fighting in a bar they're refered to as the fat one and the skinny one by onlookers.
* FindTheCure: A few -- a cure for Genie's cold in "Sneeze the Day", something to reverse Jasmine's transformation in "Eye of the Beholder", and something to awaken a poisoned Aladdin in "Mission Imp Possible" (the last one had [[BatmanGambit Nefir poison Aladdin just so that the other heroes would get the rare and expensive cure from the imp-eating moth that creates it]], without having to deal with the moth solo.
* FireForgedFriends: Jasmine and Sadira.
** Not exactly friends, but Rasoul lightens up after he and Aladdin have to team up against Aziz.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Being a genie, Genie is a wealth of magical knowledge, but having been trapped in a lamp for thousands of years, some of his info is out of date.
* FisherKing: This time, a child-king whose perpetual sulk makes his domain barren and ugly.
* FiveManBand: A perfect one if I ever saw one, starring:
** TheHero - Aladdin
** TheLancer - Abu
** TheBigGuy - Genie
** TheSmartGuy / KidAppealCharacter - Carpet
** TheChick - Jasmine
** SixthRanger - Iago
* ForTheEvulz: Mirage. Unlike other villains with more common desires like greed (Abis Mal) or power (Mozenrath), her whole motivation is to do things just because they are evil; her title is "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Evil]] [[MeaningfulTitles Incarnate]]".
-->'''Mirage:''' Chalk up another one for the forces of evil.
* FourFingeredHands: {{Lampshaded}} when Genie attempts to activate a hand-print switch, but is unable to until he grows a fifth finger.
** [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar His middle finger, no less.]]
* GenkiGirl: Eden, the female genie.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: This lyric in the theme song, which is accentuated by a clip of Jasmine posing in front of a mirror for good measure.
-->Arabian Nights! Like Arabian Days!\\
More often than not\\
Are hotter than hot\\
In a lot of good ways!
** Episode "Bad Moon Rising" has this gem:
-->'''Genie:''' "And now for the ever-puzzling sawing a woman in half trick!" (proceeds to ''saw woman in half!'' Even if she is inside a box, as is tradition. Then he peeks at the result) "Yuh, let's pretend we didn't do that one."
** The premise of "Night Of The Living Mud" features Aladdin tired after their adventures, so Jasmine offers to give him a "special night at home," just the two of them. Her facial expressions when she brings up the idea are what really make it suspect.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Abis Mal and Haroud do this a lot.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Mechanikles' telescoping monocle.
* GoldfishPoopGang: Dominus Tusk. Although he's by no means harmless, in every episode he appears he ends up being quickly defeated due to circumstances.
* GrandTheftMe: In "Two To Tangle", Mozenrath tries to take over Aladdin's body.
* GreatGazoo: Chaos.
* GroundhogDayLoop: In "Sands of Fate", the main cast nearly gets caught up in one until Iago manages to prevent a magical crystal from shattering, thus breaking the loop and freeing the rest of the characters.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:H-M]]
* {{Hammerspace}}: Genie seems to keep a lot of odds and ends hoarded away for him to pull out when needed. And yes, these are different from the ones he just poofs into existence on the spot.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sadira was never evil, but in her first few appearances, she tried to use magic to [[StalkerWithACrush steal Aladdin]] away from [[TheRival Jasmine]]; eventually she got over her crush and became friends.
** Queen Hippsodeth and Prince Uncouthma played it the opposite way, each trying to steal Jasmine, but became friends later on.
* HeroicSacrifice: When the Ethereal judges Agrabah to be unworthy and starts destroying it, Jasmine sacrifices her life to save a child; this selfless act is what convinces the Ethereal that Agrabah is worthy, and she restores both Agrabah and Jasmine.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Aladdin defeats Kileem by tricking him (i.e. the [[PowersViaPossession invincible armor possessed Sultan]]) into destroying the statue that was the [[PowerSource source of his curse]].
* HurlItIntoTheSun: How they get rid of the fire elemental Magma, and it's suggested he would prefer it there.
** A literal sun (albeit a much smaller version) was actually ''hurled'' into the air when the sprites took Mozenrath's glove in "Lost City of the Sun"
* HonorBeforeReason: Aladdin lives in his home in the slums and wears the same old peasant rags throughout the series because he doesn't want to mooch off the Sultan. At the time depicted ([[AnachronismStew whenever it's supposed to be anyway]]) it would be considered improper for him to live in the same house as his girlfriend and ''not'' be married, even if it is a huge freaking palace.
* HypnoticEyes: Mechanicles builds a robot with these in the episode "I Never Mechanism I Didn't Like".
* {{Hypocrite}}: Many of the villains have moments of complaining about the heroes not fighting fair.
* IAmAMonster: Jasmine, when she is turned into a naga.
** Fatima.
* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Saleen wants Aladdin, not because she finds him attractive, but because it's a challenge.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Despite being a thief, Aladdin has always been pure of heart, and only stole out of [[IDidWhatIHadToDo necessity]]; in the series, Mirage explicitly refers to Aladdin as "uncorruptable".
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Amin Dimoola.
* KansasCityShuffle: Mirage once threatened Agrabah with an obelisk with a killer shadow, and taunted Aladdin by telling him where to find a magic mirror that could stop the obelisk, which turns out to be a Cave of Wonders style death trap. Aladdin gets the mirror and saves the day, but Mirage created an illusionary Agrabah while Aladdin was gone. Aladdin really saved the fake, and while he's basking in the glory of a job well done, the real Agrabah is being erased by the real obelisk.
** Mirage is beaten when Genie pulls a shuffle on her. Genie used an illusion of his own to make it look like she successfully defeated them, just to get Mirage to come out, bringing her captives with her. Once Mirage appeared, Genie dropped the facade so that Aladdin could destroy the obelisk once and for all.
* KarmaHoudini: Mechanicles and Mirage.
* KidsAreCruel: The sprites fit this perfectly, even though their actual age is never confirmed.
* KitchenSinkIncluded
* KnightOfCerebus: Mozenrath. You know you're a great villain when you're a bigger threat than the "Evil Incarnate" of the show.
* LampshadeHanging: Mechanikles/Mechanicles does this every time he makes an escape via a DeusExMachina. "People might ask, 'Why build an X?'"
-->'''Mechanikles:''' People might ask, "Why put retractable bat wings on the head?"
** Done for why Genie wears the golden wrist-bands that came off when Aladdin wished for his freedom:
-->'''Genie:''' The only thing I'm a slave to is to fashion!
* LimitedWardrobe: Jasmine's nightclothes are apparently a pink recolor of her day outfit. Aladdin rarely ever wears anything except his peasant rags, even though it would have made a lot more sense to get a new wardrobe like the one in ''[=KoT=]''.
** Later episodes do sometimes show him wearing an outfit that resembles his usual clothes, but includes boots and gold trim on his vest, in fact he wears this same outfit at the beginning of "King of Thieves".
* LoadBearingBoss: Arbutus' death also destroys his garden; justified in that he was a plant being with control over plants, so the garden was more likely an extension of himself, rather than a separate construct.
* LordErrorProne: A brainwashed Aladdin becomes this in "Dune Quixote".
* LosingYourHead: Kapok and Aladdin. Don't worry, the latter gets better. Losing his head ''makes'' Kapok better.
* LoveRedeems: Minos and Fatima, a pair of villains from Aladdin's past wind up being redeemed ''and'' cured of their {{Baleful Polymorph}}s through ThePowerOfLove.
* MadScientist: Mechanicles.
* MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: Abis Mal in "Lost and Founded".
* MamaBear: Abis Mal has stolen a griffin egg and is holding Iago hostage, what do you do? Release the hounds... er, mother griffin.
* MarilynManeuver: Sadira, in "Dune Quixote".
* {{Mayincatec}}: Thundra and Malcho.
* MentalPictureProjector: Genie uses one to probe Abu's mind to find out who played pranks during Jasmine's dinner party. Chaos appears and comments on the remarkable likeness.
* MindControlDevice: Mechanicles' robot, Gregarious.
* MobySchtick: A desert version.
* MonsterSuit: Machina.
* MoreCriminalsThanTargets: The Thieves' Quarter, where only thieves are allowed and they steal from each other.
* MundaneWish: Averted in one episode, when Eden actually ''refuses'' to grant her master's first wish for a sandwich (fortunately, lacking the words "I wish" in front of it) and instead talks her into wishing never to go hungry again.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: {{Averted}} with Sadira, who has had the opportunity and motive, but not the will. She wants Jasmine out of the way, not ''dead''.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Subverted, Rasoul is loyal to the Sultan and Jasmine, but despises Aladdin, intending to quit when he marries Jasmine; he eventually lightens up on the "[[FireForgedFriends street mouse]]", even saying that he'll think about calling Aladdin "Your Highness" if Aladdin gets rid of Iago.
* MysteriousPast: Mozenrath. Part of what makes him interesting is all the unanswered questions about him.
** Aladdin too, for all we learn about him there are still a thousand unanswered questions about his past. Even after meeting his father we ''still'' don't find out all the answers.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:N-S]]
* NarratorAllAlong: Fasir, in his first episode.
* NearVillainVictory: Most of Mozenrath's episodes, which gets on his nerves a few times.
-->'''Mozenrath:''' ''"I'll get him yet. I'm so close!"''
** Not to say that other villains doesn't get close to winning at times, like Mirage in ''Eye of the Beholder'', or Mechanikles in ''I Never Mechanism I Didn't Like''.
* NeatFreak: Mechanikles, in one episode, he tries to fuse the desert into glass. In another, he tries to steam clean the planet by boiling the ocean.
* NiceHat: Abis Mal has some kind of obsession with hats, including the Sultan's hat and a magical scorpion helmet.
** This may have something to do with his being bald, which he seems to have a complex about (he makes fairly frequent comments about Aladdin's hair).
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In "The Vapor Chase" a disguised Abis Mal sells Jasmine a bunch of powder he says is for heating [[MayContainEvil but actually releases a sentient smoke monster that steals valuables when lit]]. Aladdin is suspiscious of the substance from the start and questions if it's safe, but as Jasmine admits later she was too stubborn to admit she might be wrong.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Mirage, in "When Chaos Comes Calling". Which was Chaos' plan all along.
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: Mozenrath's mamluks.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Amin Damoola's voice is loosely based on the Peter Sellers version of [[ThePinkPanther Inspector Clouseau]], including his mangled pronunciation of the word 'monkey'.
* NoodleIncident: The show ''loved'' these - the idea was that Aladdin was constantly having adventures, not just the ones we see, so the characters often casually discuss battles and exploits that the viewers will never see. Sometimes used as a plot point, like the episode where an exhausted Aladdin needs a day off after a long string of over a dozen {{Noodle Incident}}s.
--> '''Genie:''' "Don't forget the Crimson Fear! You battled him the same day you stopped the Howling Hyenas of the Himalayas! And the [[ShoutOut Legion of The Doom...]] that was the Thursday before last, right?"
--> '''Jasmine:''' "Actually, Thursday was the Seven-Headed Hydra..."
* NoOneCouldHaveSurvivedThat: Stated word for word by the Genie towards Abis Maul and Mechanikles in "The Flawed Couple", but...
-->'''Aladdin:''' If anyone could survive, it'd be those two snakes. (And they do.)
* NonHumanSidekick: Xerxes to Mozenrath.
* NonSequiturThud: Genie.
* NotRareOverThere: Al and Iago go on a quest for the legendary Orb of Machina, the only thing that could cure a sick Genie. They have to overcome three arduous trials, and after completing each one, the guardian of the Orb goes to a chamber and retrieves it... from among thousands of identical orbs. The guardian complains that at this rate he'll never be able to get rid of them all.
* NotUsingTheZWord: Mozenrath's mamluks.
* NotWearingPantsDream: In "As the Netherworld Turns", this is used to convince people that they are dreaming.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Chaos; when Mirage tricks the "Master {{Trickster| Archetype}}" into bringing his brand of fun to Agrabah, she doesn't realize that she's walked right into his BatmanGambit.
* ObsessedAreTheListmakers: The recurring villain [[GadgeteerGenius Mechanikles]] is found to have a checklist with items like "Do dishes, do laundry, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick destroy world]]". The heroes even comment: "Boy, is he [[SeriousBusiness serious]]". Later, he adds "Destroy Aladdin" to the list, and wonders to himself whether he should do the dishes ''before or after'' he destroys the world.
* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Abis Mal. He must be a lot better at being a thief than trying to take over Agrabah...
* OffWithHisHead: Parodied in the episode, "Heads, You Lose".
* OhWaitThisIsMyGroceryList: Mechanikles.
* [[OminousFloatingCastle Ominous Floating Sphinx]]: Mirage lives inside a sphinx in an asteroid belt.
* OurFounder: The episode "Lost And Founded" has the Founder's Day celebration of Agrabah, and Abis Mal going back in time to make it so that ''his'' family, rather than Sultan's, founded Agrabah.
* PaintItBlack: Evil Jasmine in "Forget Me Lots".
* PhlebotinumMuncher: The thirdac.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Prince Uncouthma's son Bud, who's a toddler just a few episodes after his parents were married.
* PoliceAreUseless
** Possibly the ''best'' example of the guards being useless is in the episode "Black Sand". They ''fail to stop an eel''.
* PowerAtAPrice: Mozenrath's gauntlet grants him great power, but wearing it causes him physical pain, and the gauntlet is also implied to have dissolved the flesh on his hand and arm until it's worn on down to the bone.
* PunnyName: Abis Mal [[hottip:*: Abysmal]], Abnor Mal [[hottip:*: Abnormal]], Amin Damoola [[hottip:*: I'm in the money]], Hippsodeth [[hottip:*: Hips of Death]], Ayam Aghoul [[hottip:*: I am a ghoul]], Al-Butros [[hottip:*: Albatross]], Haroud Hazi Bin [[hottip:*: How rude has he been]], Eden [[hottip:*: [[IDreamOfJeannie after Barbara Eden]], Saleen [[hottip:*: Saline, aka salt water]], Al Muddi [[hottip:*: All muddy]], Nefir Hasenuf [[hottip:*: Never has enough]], Al Gebraic [[hottip:*: Algebraic]], Khartoum [[hottip:*: After the capital of Sudan]]... and probably more. Suffice to say, [[WorldOfPun the writers love puns]].
** The ''Disney Adventures'' comics got into it too, with Ibn Bahd [[hottip:*: I been bad]]
* RecycledTheSeries: It works.
* RedemptionEarnsLife: Amal.
* RedRightHand: Mozenrath.
* RedshirtArmy: The Royal Guards--They were said to have been easily defeated/killed trying to stop Dominus Tusk.
* RescueRomance: Invoked. Aladdin saves fellow street rat Sadira in a situation that is intentionally reminiscent to the way he saved Jasmine in the movie. Sadira falls hard for him as a result and doesn't really care that he already has a girlfriend, which proves unfortunate when she later gains access to powerful magic.
* BestHerToBedHer: Queen Hippsodeth.
* ReformedButRejected: Sadira, in "Witch Way Did She Go?", and Aladdin, from the point of view of the guards.
* RoguesGallery: Mozenrath, Abis Mal, Mechanicles, Mirage, Ayam Aghoul
* {{Ruritania}}: Odiferous.
* RaceLift: The Movie sets Aladdin in a Pseudo-Arabic/Middle Eastern world as opposed to China, which was the original setting of Aladdin in the Arabian Nights.
* SafetyWorst: In one episode, the Genie shelters Aladdin in a bubble for protection in this manner.
* SanityHasAdvantages
* SeasonFluidity: ''Very'' fluid. Episodes and entire seasons can be watched in almost any order not only because they show was very episodic in nature but the show was also very good and providing light but informative exposition for returning characters.
* SharingABody: Aladdin and Mozenrath, after a botched GrandTheftMe.
* ShoutOut: Rasoul is named after Rasoul Azadani, who worked at the Disney Studios and proved invaluable in the movie. It didn't make it into the original movie, however. "Rasoul Azadani!" was also the original incantation Jafar shouts to open the Cave of Wonders, but that was considered too in-joke-y.
** The series also has some {{Shout Out}}s to other Disney movies. For example, a mermaid character makes an allusion to ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' when an attempt to restyle Jasmine's hair leaves her with an Ariel-style 'do ("She looks like any other princess under the sea").
** A female genie named [[Series/IDreamOfJeannie Eden]] also appears, who lives in a bottle instead of a lamp.
** "Forget Me Lots" features the Blue Rose of Forgetfulness. And here you thought they were done stealing from ''The Thief of Bagdad'' with Jafar...
** Chaos's design is based off of The Cheshire Cat from Disney/AliceInWonderland. He even turns everything but his eyes and smile invisible.
** In "When Chaos Comes Calling", Chaos turns a couple of dinner guests into [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy a whale and a bowl of flowers]].
*** That same episode also has [[http://www.aladdincentral.org/encyclopedia/images/2/2e/Wccc160.jpg this shot]] of the heroes dressed like ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' characters.
** Iago waking from a dream, "It wasn't me, I swear! It was my twin brother Theatre/{{Othello}}!
* SoWhatDoWeDoNow: Merk, the captain of a flying ship that spent his whole life chasing a giant sand shark, found himself in this situation when he (and Aladdin) finally caught it; faced with the prospect of an empty life, he sets the shark free, just so he could chase it again.
* SomewhereAPalaeontologistIsCrying: In "Lost and Founded", Aladdin briefly goes back to prehistoric times. In the background you can see a massive ceratopsid skeleton, so at first one would presume they had gone back in time at about 65 million years or so, give or take a few. Then a smilodon appears, a creature that not only lived a mere 1.8 MYA to 10,000 years ago, but also lived in the Americas, not northeastern Africa. Later in the episode, fluxes in time cause a man and his camel to transform into a caveman and a ceratopsid, a rather silly thing considering that humans and non-avian dinosaurs are separated by about 65 million-ish years.
* SpaceWhaleAesop: "Did you learn anything today?" "Yeah, never walk off a cliff inside a giant mechanical man."
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Iago (not that anyone minds...)
* StableTimeLoop: Aladdin has to follow Abis Mal back in time to ensure the Sultan's ancestor founds Agrabah, and not Mal's; as a result of their interference of the time line, Abnor Mal gets kicked out of the tribe and forced to live as a bandit, which ensures Abis Mal's life as a thief.
* StalkerWithACrush: Sadira.
* StarfishCharacter: Genie in "The Seven Faces of Genie".
* SteamPunk: Mechanicles's inventions. One episode takes the steam part to the extreme.
* StrawVulcan: Caliph Kapok.
* SuperOCD: Mechanicles in a nutshell. All his schemes revolve around his need for cleanliness. He [[BerserkButton flies off the handle]] whenever he himself or his clothes, floors, and inventions get dirty.
* SurfacingCredits: The opening and closing credit sequences from the movie's original theatrical release are being surfaced throughout the movie's upcoming direct-to-DVD/Blu-ray reissue.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Of ''Rhapsody in Blue'' when Genie is dressed as a flight attendant on the carpet. An obvious nod to the famous use of the song by United Airlines, although odd considering in 1992 [[FridgeLogic Delta was the official airline of Disney]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:T-Z]]
* TakeMeInstead: When Mirage reveals that Waheed will die if he doesn't submit to her, Aladdin offers himself in Waheed's place, pointing out that having beaten Mirage several times already, she'd rather have him over some random kid.
* TestosteronePoisoning: Captain al-Butros.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Rasoul and the Royal Guards.
* TimeTravel: The plot of the episode "Lost and Founded".
* TitleMontage: The opening features clips from the series.
* TookALevelInBadass: Jasmine.
* TransformationTrauma: Several.
* {{Tuckerization}}: "Mozenrath" is a mashup of his creators' surnames, Motz and Roth. (Apparently they toyed around with "Motzenroth", but felt that it sounded too Jewish for the character.)
* TVGenius
* TwoBeingsOneBody
* TheVamp: Saleen.
* VillainTeamUp: Mechanikles and Abizz Mal; later, there's also a rather [[StraightManAndWiseGuy less likely team-up]] between [[BigBad Mozenrath]] and [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Amin Damoolah]], as well as the alliance between Hades and Jafar in the {{Crossover}} with ''Disney/{{Hercules}}''.
* WatchingTheSunset
* WeaknessTurnsHerOn: Brawnhilda has a severe motherly instinct and is interested in men that she can take care of, so when the smaller Aladdin arrives, she becomes smitten with him instead of her betrothed [[HornyVikings Prince Uncouthma]]; Uncouthma gets jealous and tries to fight Aladdin for Brawnhilda's attention, which only makes Aladdin look weaker and more desirable. Near the end of the episode, Uncouthma blows himself up with an [[StuffBlowingUp explosive]] [[FoodFight cheese]] [[DropTheHammer warhammer]], and Brawnhilda brushes Aladdin aside to be with her "frail darling".
* WeaksauceWeakness: Genie is powerless if placed into a container (like a jar) with a lid or stopper of some kind.
** Also, [[MisplacedVegetation guava juice]] makes genies lose control of their powers.
* WhipItGood: Jasmine in "Forget Me Lots".
* WholeEpisodeFlashback: "Seems Like Old Crimes" Part 1, which centers around how Aladdin met Abu.
* WholePlotReference: The episode with Arbutus is very similar to Beauty and the Beast, including the Beast intending to hold Beauty captive [[DisproportionateRetribution because her father stole a flower]], and even though Jasmine doesn't fall in love with Arbutus she's the one who ends up [[AlasPoorVillain feeling the most sympathy for him]].
* TheWorfEffect: From Phenomenal Cosmic power to Semi-Phenomenal, Nearly-Cosmic power amounts to a plethora of whuppin's handed to the Genie.
** [[ThoseTwoGuys Rasoul and the other big, burly, tough-looking guardsmen]] seem to exist primarily to get whupped by the VillainOfTheWeek
-->'''Mozenrath:''' Getting in was the easy part. Your ''royal guards'' served as my escorts.
* WrittenInAbsence: Outside of maybe Genie, no character appeared in every single episode. (Yep, even the title character missed at least one episode.) Sometimes a character's absence was explained, other times not. In "Rain of Terror", for example, Aladdin's (plus most of the characters') absence is simply due to the action taking place completely out of Agrabah.
* XanatosGambit: One of Mozenrath's plans involves using Genie as bait for a magic-eating monster, forcing Aladdin to capture said monster in order to save him. One outcome leaves Mozenrath with complete control over the beast. The other gets Genie out of his way. He does indeed end up with the monster in his possession... for a while.
** Another plan also left him with a smaller victory if he lost, a plan where he would either end up with the Sultan as his hostage, or with Amin Damoola forever in his debt, repaying him for his "generosity".
* YouNeedToGetLaid: In one episode Aladdin says Mozenrath needs a girlfriend, but Iago says "I think he's married to his work" and Mozenrath says it's true.
* YouSeeImDying: Pretty much Mozenrath's opening line in ''Two to Tangle''.
* YoureNothingWithoutYourPhlebotinum: Aladdin still gets this at times. Also, Mozenrath seems to think of ''himself'' this way, as he completely [[VillainousBreakdown breaks down]] when he [[BroughtDownToNormal loses his gauntlet]], even though he still has his kingdom and army of mamluks left. Without his gauntlet, [[PowerAtAPrice all that he gave up for it]] [[FridgeBrilliance would all be for nothing]].

!!Tropes used in the animated series:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:A-G]]
* ActionGirl: Jasmine, who takes down Mozenrath in one episode and survives an Amazonian training course in another.
** That's not even mentioning her time as 'Scourge of the Desert'.
* ActorAllusion: The Genie says [[TheSimpsons D'oh!]] at least once (complete with a face resembling Homer Simpson).
* AncientGreece: Not the series itself, but the crossover episode "Hercules and the Arabian Night" strongly implies that "Aladdin" takes place in the exact same time period as Hercules (ie, the time of Hellenistic Greece).
** Mechanicles is from there.
* AlasPoorVillain: Arbutus.
* AllAmazonsWantHercules: In Queen Hippsodeth's first appearance, she's defeated by the Sultan, and suffers a minor [[VillainousBreakdown breakdown]]; by her next appearance, she's smitten with him.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: All four of the main villains have done this with the palace (and sometimes Agrahbah as a whole) at least once. Abis Mal in "Forget Me Lots", Mechanicles in "I Never Mechanism I Didn't Like", Mirage in "While the City Snoozes", and Mozenrath in "Black Sand".
* AnachronismStew: Apparently, the writers once again mixed up ''medieval'' Arabia with ''ancient'' Arabia. The Greeks Aladdin runs into seem to be from ancient Greece.
* AnimationBump: In the Walt Disney Japan[[note]]and TamaProductions[=/=]AnimalYa[[/note]] and Australia-animated episodes.
** The Genie whenever KennedyCartoons animated had the benefit of reusing bits of movie animation. This made him move much more fluidly than whenever anyone else animated.
* ArtifactOfDoom: In the episode "Armored and Dangerous", the Sultan puts on the invincible armor of Kileem, a powerful warlord, and ends up being [[BlessedWithSuck taken over by the spirit]] [[DemonicPossession of the warlord himself]].
* ArtShift: Genie's explanation of man in "The Secret of Dagger Rock" is drawn in UPA style.
* AssInAmbassador: The ambassadors in "Riders Redux", who boss Jasmine around and constantly threaten war.
* BadassBack: Mozenrath [[HandBlast blasts]] Jasmine to the ground this way at one point.
* BadassGrandpa: The Sultan, surprisingly.
* BadBoss: Mirage, on the rare occasion she's shown with followers. At one point she leaves a bunch of her loyal minions to die (minions made from ''kidnapped children'') simply because a different one dared to say "no" to her.
* BadGuyBar: The Skull and Dagger.
* BalefulPolymorph: Over the course of the series, Aladdin becomes a shark, the Sultan becomes a small gold statue, and Iago becomes a genie (when he acquires Genie's powers). Jasmine becomes a rat, an ugly snake creature, a small purple jewel, and (in the span of ten seconds) a koala, a carrot and the Mona Lisa. But Abu holds the crown for being the victim of so many transformations (due to Genie) that listing them all would be pointless.
** Other examples include a woman who turns into a jackal in the moonlight (and her husband who was changed into a magical treasure). One of Aladdin's friends becomes a monster due to Mirage.
* BarbarianTribe: The Odifferous. They're ''usually'' friendly, although their leader isn't the brightest, making it relatively easy to set him against the heroes.
* BastardUnderstudy: Mozenrath's backstory.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Haroud has the unfortunate job of being [[HarmlessVillain Abis Mal]]'s lackey, but makes up for it by being [[HypercompetentSidekick much, much smarter than his boss]].
* BenevolentGenie: Eden; when Dondi's first wish is for a sandwich, Eden allows her to take it back, and convinces her to wish to never be hungry again.
** And, once again, our blue pal.
* BerserkButton: Amin Damoola's is being called by his nickname Butterfingers. Mechanicles' SuperOCD should say enough.
* BestHerToBedHer: After the Sultan rescues his daughter Jasmine from the Galafems, an army of Amazon-like warrior women, we find out in a later episode that their leader, Queen Hipsodeth has fallen for the Sultan, the only man to ever defeat her in battle.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Chaos period... pissing him off is a REALLY bad idea.
* BigBadEnsemble: Abis Mal, Mechanicles, Mirage and Mozenrath. The 1st appears the most often, the 2nd has the most dangerous arsenal, the 3rd is the incarnation of all evil and the 4th is the most serious villain on the series.
* BilingualBonus / MeaningfulName: One episode has Mozenrath seeking the power of Shamash, which turns out to be a miniature sun. The Hebrew word for sun is Shemesh (or Shamash in certain grammatical uses).
** This is also a case of YouFailLinguisticsForever, as a ''shamash'' is a liturgic position in Judaism, or the candle used to light the other candles on a ''khanukiya''.
*** Most of the names in the series are fake Arabic/Persian sounding for foreign flavor, but some are real or close to real. Mozenrath's mamluks (though mispronounced as "mamlock"), for example, come from an Arabic word meaning "owned" and refer to slave-soldiers imported from Central Asia primarily to serve in Egypt. Some of the other names are real too, like Aladdin, Khartoum the sorcerer, Fatima and Aziz, two of Aladdin's former partners in crime; and Farida, one of the sand witches. The urchin Waheed's name is real as well, and fittingly means "lonely." Ayam Aghoul, though intended as a lame pun (I am a ghoul), is one letter away from being a possible Arabic phrase, ayam al-ghoul, which would mean "days of the demon."
* BittersweetEnding: The plant being Arbutus kidnaps Jasmine as payback for a slight the Sultan committed against him decades ago. Aladdin rescues Jasmine and kills Arbutus, but by then, Arbutus had been shown in a sympathetic light, and was more a victim than a villain.
* BlindSeer: Fasir.
* BodyHorror: Mozenrath's gauntlet gives him remarkable magical powers, [[PowerAtAPrice but at a cost]], as the hand he wears it on has been [[RedRightHand completely stripped of its flesh]].
* BoisterousBruiser: The Odifferous are a tribe of these.
* {{Brainwashed}}: Happens to all of the main cast at some point.
* BuffySpeak: Abis Mal.
* ButtMonkey: Iago. According to the DVDCommentary, the filmmakers' motto was "When in doubt, hurt the bird."
* CanisLatinicus: "Bobolonius", the name of the Sultan's grandfather, and possibly the Sultan.
* CanonDiscontinuity
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin:
** Happens once again to Jasmine in "Do The Rat Thing," in an even bigger way than in the movie. After he says she couldn't understand what it means to be a street rat, she decides to spend a day in the marketplace pretending to be a poor thief to prove to Aladdin she can do it. While there, she is goaded into stealing a small trinket just once to prove to an angry thug that she can. The shopkeeper (Fasir the mystic in his first appearance) promises horrible mystical vengeance should she go through with the act, but since she was only pretending, she figured she could get away with the robbery then come back to pay later. Turns out the trinket was actually a magical cursed artifact that immediately turns her into a rat. Oops.
*** Made funnier becausr the item is a magic mirror which does nothing by itself, but will transform whoever looks at their reflection and says they are "something" into that thing: Jasmine says she ''is'' "a street rat" while admiring herself in the mirror after successfuly stealing it, and the mirror [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor does as she says]]...
* CastFromLifespan: Mozenrath's gauntlet draws magic power at the cost of his lifespan and possibly (see WordOfDante in the Trivia tab) his flesh.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "It's showtime!" Most commonly Genie but everyone gets a crack at it.
** Mechanicles is "[[LargeHam The master of machines!]]" or "Greatest Of The Great Greek Geniuses!"
** Abis-Mal, after having his sentences finished by Haroud: "I was ''going'' to say that!"
* CatsAreMean: Mirage.
-->'''Iago:''' She's mean! She's beyond mean! She invented "mean"!
* ChangedMyMindKid: Iago and Abu at the end of "The Secret of Dagger Rock". Subverted in that they [[TheCavalryArrivesLate arrived late]].
* CharacterExaggeration: Genie. Unfortunately.
* TheCharmer: Aladdin.
* ChekhovsGun: In "Lost and Founded", Iago, Abu, and Genie make Founder's Day merchandise to sell to the people of Agrabah. Genie keeps a spill-proof cup for himself. Later, he uses it to [[spoiler:contain the time portal.]]
* ChickMagnet: A fun drinking game is to chug every time a girl has the hots for Aladdin.
* CityOfAdventure: Agrabah, especially in the later episodes. (Earlier they visited a lot more AdventureTowns.)
* ClockKing: Meckanikles.
* {{Cloudcuckooland}}: Odiferus.
* ControlFreak: Mechanicles.
* CriminalAmnesiac: Jasmine in "Forget Me Lots".
* {{Crossover}}: With ''[[Disney/{{Hercules}} Hercules: The Animated Series]]''.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The Sultan is (or at least was) this, apparently. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome You should see all the ass he kicks in]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsEHnnHsIsc#t=16m26s episode 75.]] I mean, ''somebody'' had to run a kingdom so rife with disaster before Aladdin came along, right?
** The Sultan's badassery is touched on in a mid-1990s ''DisneyAdventures'' comic, which features a flashback to a young Sultan brandishing a sword on horseback while kicking some villains out of his kingdom.
* CueTheFlyingPigs: Happens when genies fall in love.
* CuteBruiser: Scara.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Jasmine in "Eye of the Beholder".
* CuteWitch: Sadira.
* DeadpanSnarker: Haroud, Iago, Mozenrath, Aladdin, and, on occasion, Jasmine.
* DeathIsDramatic: [[spoiler:Arbutus's death in ''Garden of Evil'', so very much.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Rajah. WordOfGod says that this is because his stripes are a lot tougher for the lower-budget TV animation studios. It's not especially noticable since he was never a very important character to begin with.
* DePower[=/=]PowerLimiter: As a side-effect of being freed, the Genie has gone from having [[RealityWarper "Phenomenal Cosmic Powers"]] in the film to only possessing "''Semi''-Phenomenal, ''Nearly'' Cosmic Powers" in the series. His magic is still useful, but usually [[TheWorfEffect too weak to defeat the regular foe of each episode]], or he is otherwise TooIncompetentToOperateABlanket without the RestrainingBolt of being forced to grant specific wishes like "defeat my enemy" which would be a StoryBreakerPower. This is a NecessaryWeasel to keep the genie from being a GodModeSue answer to all of Aladdin's recurring foes.
* DeusExMachina
* DisneyDeath
* TheDragAlong: Iago. In fact, at least 1/3 of all his lines are complaints about this.
* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: Aladdin manages to pull this trick on Genie in "Genie Hunt" after the latter gets frightened by Rajah.
-->'''Aladdin:''' You were scared.
-->'''Genie:''' Was not.
-->'''Aladdin:''' Were too.
-->'''Genie:''' Was not.
-->'''Aladdin:''' Were too.
-->'''Genie:''' Was not.
-->'''Aladdin:''' Was not.
-->'''Genie:''' Were too.
-->''[{{Beat}}]''
-->'''Genie:''' [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons D'OH!]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Subverted, when Jasmine is turned into a snake-woman, our heroes brave through a multitude of challenges to find the cure, which Mirage destroys before they can use it; defeated, Jasmine wants the others to leave her, so [[TakeAThirdOption Aladdin turns himself into a snake to stay with Jasmine]].
** Double subverted, Mirage takes solace in that while she couldn't break the love between the two, at least they'll live the rest of their lives as monsters; Fasir insists that they beat her, and [[DeusExMachina gives them the cure]].
* EasilyForgiven: The sprites. The first episode they appear ends with them almost killing everyone in the palace. By their second appearance, when Mozenrath has captured them, they're treated like poor, innocent creatures who must be rescued.
* EmbarrassingRescue: Captain al-Butros, an heroic sailor doesn't want Aladdin, a landlubber, to rescue him from Mechanikles, saying it's not manly. Iago TakesAThirdOption, letting Aladdin rescue him, while Butros tags along to protect him; the captain finds this much more agreeable.
* EmotionsVsStoicism: Kapok is a literal Head vs. Heart case, with his cold calculating head and his emotional heart; naturally the head is evil while the heart is good. As a powerful wizard, the heart defeats the head with a spell that decapitates himself, leaving the heart in full control of the body.
* EvilCounterpart: Again, Mozenrath, towards Aladdin. If rumors are to be believed, there were plans to reveal they were in fact brothers. Said rumors being helped by just how much they look alike.
* EvilerThanThou: Mozenrath ends up on both sides of this. He proved to be the bigger evil against Destane, but the lesser evil against Khartoum.
* EvilGloating: In "Shadow of a Doubt", Mirage captured Jasmine, Carpet, Abu and Iago, and releases them as her obelisk destroys Agrabah, just so she can gloat.
* EvilIsBigger: The T-Rex in "Much Abu About Something". Doubly awesome that the tiny Abu defeats it.
* EvilIsHammy: So many of the villains.
* EvilSorcerer: Mozenrath, Caliph Kapok, Khartoum, and probably a few more.
* EvilTwin: Aladdin is faced with an evil version of himself, thanks to [[RealityWarper Chaos]]. Though aside from how the twin looks, he's really more of Aladdin's [[DumbMuscle complete]] [[EvilIsPetty opposite]] than anything else.
* EyePoke: In one episode, a magic disembodied hand is sent to attack Al. Inevitably, it pulls this move on him, but Aladdin is GenreSavvy enough to use the hand block on it.
* FaceHeelTurn: Mirage, according to Fasir.
* FatAndSkinny: Abis Mal and Harud.
** Abis Mal and Mechanicles when they temporarily teamed up. When they're fighting in a bar they're refered to as the fat one and the skinny one by onlookers.
* FindTheCure: A few -- a cure for Genie's cold in "Sneeze the Day", something to reverse Jasmine's transformation in "Eye of the Beholder", and something to awaken a poisoned Aladdin in "Mission Imp Possible" (the last one had [[BatmanGambit Nefir poison Aladdin just so that the other heroes would get the rare and expensive cure from the imp-eating moth that creates it]], without having to deal with the moth solo.
* FireForgedFriends: Jasmine and Sadira.
** Not exactly friends, but Rasoul lightens up after he and Aladdin have to team up against Aziz.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Being a genie, Genie is a wealth of magical knowledge, but having been trapped in a lamp for thousands of years, some of his info is out of date.
* FisherKing: This time, a child-king whose perpetual sulk makes his domain barren and ugly.
* FiveManBand: A perfect one if I ever saw one, starring:
** TheHero - Aladdin
** TheLancer - Abu
** TheBigGuy - Genie
** TheSmartGuy / KidAppealCharacter - Carpet
** TheChick - Jasmine
** SixthRanger - Iago
* ForTheEvulz: Mirage. Unlike other villains with more common desires like greed (Abis Mal) or power (Mozenrath), her whole motivation is to do things just because they are evil; her title is "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Evil]] [[MeaningfulTitles Incarnate]]".
-->'''Mirage:''' Chalk up another one for the forces of evil.
* FourFingeredHands: {{Lampshaded}} when Genie attempts to activate a hand-print switch, but is unable to until he grows a fifth finger.
** [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar His middle finger, no less.]]
* GenkiGirl: Eden, the female genie.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: This lyric in the theme song, which is accentuated by a clip of Jasmine posing in front of a mirror for good measure.
-->Arabian Nights! Like Arabian Days!\\
More often than not\\
Are hotter than hot\\
In a lot of good ways!
** Episode "Bad Moon Rising" has this gem:
-->'''Genie:''' "And now for the ever-puzzling sawing a woman in half trick!" (proceeds to ''saw woman in half!'' Even if she is inside a box, as is tradition. Then he peeks at the result) "Yuh, let's pretend we didn't do that one."
** The premise of "Night Of The Living Mud" features Aladdin tired after their adventures, so Jasmine offers to give him a "special night at home," just the two of them. Her facial expressions when she brings up the idea are what really make it suspect.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Abis Mal and Haroud do this a lot.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Mechanikles' telescoping monocle.
* GoldfishPoopGang: Dominus Tusk. Although he's by no means harmless, in every episode he appears he ends up being quickly defeated due to circumstances.
* GrandTheftMe: In "Two To Tangle", Mozenrath tries to take over Aladdin's body.
* GreatGazoo: Chaos.
* GroundhogDayLoop: In "Sands of Fate", the main cast nearly gets caught up in one until Iago manages to prevent a magical crystal from shattering, thus breaking the loop and freeing the rest of the characters.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:H-M]]
* {{Hammerspace}}: Genie seems to keep a lot of odds and ends hoarded away for him to pull out when needed. And yes, these are different from the ones he just poofs into existence on the spot.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sadira was never evil, but in her first few appearances, she tried to use magic to [[StalkerWithACrush steal Aladdin]] away from [[TheRival Jasmine]]; eventually she got over her crush and became friends.
** Queen Hippsodeth and Prince Uncouthma played it the opposite way, each trying to steal Jasmine, but became friends later on.
* HeroicSacrifice: When the Ethereal judges Agrabah to be unworthy and starts destroying it, Jasmine sacrifices her life to save a child; this selfless act is what convinces the Ethereal that Agrabah is worthy, and she restores both Agrabah and Jasmine.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Aladdin defeats Kileem by tricking him (i.e. the [[PowersViaPossession invincible armor possessed Sultan]]) into destroying the statue that was the [[PowerSource source of his curse]].
* HurlItIntoTheSun: How they get rid of the fire elemental Magma, and it's suggested he would prefer it there.
** A literal sun (albeit a much smaller version) was actually ''hurled'' into the air when the sprites took Mozenrath's glove in "Lost City of the Sun"
* HonorBeforeReason: Aladdin lives in his home in the slums and wears the same old peasant rags throughout the series because he doesn't want to mooch off the Sultan. At the time depicted ([[AnachronismStew whenever it's supposed to be anyway]]) it would be considered improper for him to live in the same house as his girlfriend and ''not'' be married, even if it is a huge freaking palace.
* HypnoticEyes: Mechanicles builds a robot with these in the episode "I Never Mechanism I Didn't Like".
* {{Hypocrite}}: Many of the villains have moments of complaining about the heroes not fighting fair.
* IAmAMonster: Jasmine, when she is turned into a naga.
** Fatima.
* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Saleen wants Aladdin, not because she finds him attractive, but because it's a challenge.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Despite being a thief, Aladdin has always been pure of heart, and only stole out of [[IDidWhatIHadToDo necessity]]; in the series, Mirage explicitly refers to Aladdin as "uncorruptable".
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Amin Dimoola.
* KansasCityShuffle: Mirage once threatened Agrabah with an obelisk with a killer shadow, and taunted Aladdin by telling him where to find a magic mirror that could stop the obelisk, which turns out to be a Cave of Wonders style death trap. Aladdin gets the mirror and saves the day, but Mirage created an illusionary Agrabah while Aladdin was gone. Aladdin really saved the fake, and while he's basking in the glory of a job well done, the real Agrabah is being erased by the real obelisk.
** Mirage is beaten when Genie pulls a shuffle on her. Genie used an illusion of his own to make it look like she successfully defeated them, just to get Mirage to come out, bringing her captives with her. Once Mirage appeared, Genie dropped the facade so that Aladdin could destroy the obelisk once and for all.
* KarmaHoudini: Mechanicles and Mirage.
* KidsAreCruel: The sprites fit this perfectly, even though their actual age is never confirmed.
* KitchenSinkIncluded
* KnightOfCerebus: Mozenrath. You know you're a great villain when you're a bigger threat than the "Evil Incarnate" of the show.
* LampshadeHanging: Mechanikles/Mechanicles does this every time he makes an escape via a DeusExMachina. "People might ask, 'Why build an X?'"
-->'''Mechanikles:''' People might ask, "Why put retractable bat wings on the head?"
** Done for why Genie wears the golden wrist-bands that came off when Aladdin wished for his freedom:
-->'''Genie:''' The only thing I'm a slave to is to fashion!
* LimitedWardrobe: Jasmine's nightclothes are apparently a pink recolor of her day outfit. Aladdin rarely ever wears anything except his peasant rags, even though it would have made a lot more sense to get a new wardrobe like the one in ''[=KoT=]''.
** Later episodes do sometimes show him wearing an outfit that resembles his usual clothes, but includes boots and gold trim on his vest, in fact he wears this same outfit at the beginning of "King of Thieves".
* LoadBearingBoss: Arbutus' death also destroys his garden; justified in that he was a plant being with control over plants, so the garden was more likely an extension of himself, rather than a separate construct.
* LordErrorProne: A brainwashed Aladdin becomes this in "Dune Quixote".
* LosingYourHead: Kapok and Aladdin. Don't worry, the latter gets better. Losing his head ''makes'' Kapok better.
* LoveRedeems: Minos and Fatima, a pair of villains from Aladdin's past wind up being redeemed ''and'' cured of their {{Baleful Polymorph}}s through ThePowerOfLove.
* MadScientist: Mechanicles.
* MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: Abis Mal in "Lost and Founded".
* MamaBear: Abis Mal has stolen a griffin egg and is holding Iago hostage, what do you do? Release the hounds... er, mother griffin.
* MarilynManeuver: Sadira, in "Dune Quixote".
* {{Mayincatec}}: Thundra and Malcho.
* MentalPictureProjector: Genie uses one to probe Abu's mind to find out who played pranks during Jasmine's dinner party. Chaos appears and comments on the remarkable likeness.
* MindControlDevice: Mechanicles' robot, Gregarious.
* MobySchtick: A desert version.
* MonsterSuit: Machina.
* MoreCriminalsThanTargets: The Thieves' Quarter, where only thieves are allowed and they steal from each other.
* MundaneWish: Averted in one episode, when Eden actually ''refuses'' to grant her master's first wish for a sandwich (fortunately, lacking the words "I wish" in front of it) and instead talks her into wishing never to go hungry again.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: {{Averted}} with Sadira, who has had the opportunity and motive, but not the will. She wants Jasmine out of the way, not ''dead''.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Subverted, Rasoul is loyal to the Sultan and Jasmine, but despises Aladdin, intending to quit when he marries Jasmine; he eventually lightens up on the "[[FireForgedFriends street mouse]]", even saying that he'll think about calling Aladdin "Your Highness" if Aladdin gets rid of Iago.
* MysteriousPast: Mozenrath. Part of what makes him interesting is all the unanswered questions about him.
** Aladdin too, for all we learn about him there are still a thousand unanswered questions about his past. Even after meeting his father we ''still'' don't find out all the answers.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:N-S]]
* NarratorAllAlong: Fasir, in his first episode.
* NearVillainVictory: Most of Mozenrath's episodes, which gets on his nerves a few times.
-->'''Mozenrath:''' ''"I'll get him yet. I'm so close!"''
** Not to say that other villains doesn't get close to winning at times, like Mirage in ''Eye of the Beholder'', or Mechanikles in ''I Never Mechanism I Didn't Like''.
* NeatFreak: Mechanikles, in one episode, he tries to fuse the desert into glass. In another, he tries to steam clean the planet by boiling the ocean.
* NiceHat: Abis Mal has some kind of obsession with hats, including the Sultan's hat and a magical scorpion helmet.
** This may have something to do with his being bald, which he seems to have a complex about (he makes fairly frequent comments about Aladdin's hair).
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In "The Vapor Chase" a disguised Abis Mal sells Jasmine a bunch of powder he says is for heating [[MayContainEvil but actually releases a sentient smoke monster that steals valuables when lit]]. Aladdin is suspiscious of the substance from the start and questions if it's safe, but as Jasmine admits later she was too stubborn to admit she might be wrong.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Mirage, in "When Chaos Comes Calling". Which was Chaos' plan all along.
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: Mozenrath's mamluks.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Amin Damoola's voice is loosely based on the Peter Sellers version of [[ThePinkPanther Inspector Clouseau]], including his mangled pronunciation of the word 'monkey'.
* NoodleIncident: The show ''loved'' these - the idea was that Aladdin was constantly having adventures, not just the ones we see, so the characters often casually discuss battles and exploits that the viewers will never see. Sometimes used as a plot point, like the episode where an exhausted Aladdin needs a day off after a long string of over a dozen {{Noodle Incident}}s.
--> '''Genie:''' "Don't forget the Crimson Fear! You battled him the same day you stopped the Howling Hyenas of the Himalayas! And the [[ShoutOut Legion of The Doom...]] that was the Thursday before last, right?"
--> '''Jasmine:''' "Actually, Thursday was the Seven-Headed Hydra..."
* NoOneCouldHaveSurvivedThat: Stated word for word by the Genie towards Abis Maul and Mechanikles in "The Flawed Couple", but...
-->'''Aladdin:''' If anyone could survive, it'd be those two snakes. (And they do.)
* NonHumanSidekick: Xerxes to Mozenrath.
* NonSequiturThud: Genie.
* NotRareOverThere: Al and Iago go on a quest for the legendary Orb of Machina, the only thing that could cure a sick Genie. They have to overcome three arduous trials, and after completing each one, the guardian of the Orb goes to a chamber and retrieves it... from among thousands of identical orbs. The guardian complains that at this rate he'll never be able to get rid of them all.
* NotUsingTheZWord: Mozenrath's mamluks.
* NotWearingPantsDream: In "As the Netherworld Turns", this is used to convince people that they are dreaming.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Chaos; when Mirage tricks the "Master {{Trickster| Archetype}}" into bringing his brand of fun to Agrabah, she doesn't realize that she's walked right into his BatmanGambit.
* ObsessedAreTheListmakers: The recurring villain [[GadgeteerGenius Mechanikles]] is found to have a checklist with items like "Do dishes, do laundry, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick destroy world]]". The heroes even comment: "Boy, is he [[SeriousBusiness serious]]". Later, he adds "Destroy Aladdin" to the list, and wonders to himself whether he should do the dishes ''before or after'' he destroys the world.
* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Abis Mal. He must be a lot better at being a thief than trying to take over Agrabah...
* OffWithHisHead: Parodied in the episode, "Heads, You Lose".
* OhWaitThisIsMyGroceryList: Mechanikles.
* [[OminousFloatingCastle Ominous Floating Sphinx]]: Mirage lives inside a sphinx in an asteroid belt.
* OurFounder: The episode "Lost And Founded" has the Founder's Day celebration of Agrabah, and Abis Mal going back in time to make it so that ''his'' family, rather than Sultan's, founded Agrabah.
* PaintItBlack: Evil Jasmine in "Forget Me Lots".
* PhlebotinumMuncher: The thirdac.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Prince Uncouthma's son Bud, who's a toddler just a few episodes after his parents were married.
* PoliceAreUseless
** Possibly the ''best'' example of the guards being useless is in the episode "Black Sand". They ''fail to stop an eel''.
* PowerAtAPrice: Mozenrath's gauntlet grants him great power, but wearing it causes him physical pain, and the gauntlet is also implied to have dissolved the flesh on his hand and arm until it's worn on down to the bone.
* PunnyName: Abis Mal [[hottip:*: Abysmal]], Abnor Mal [[hottip:*: Abnormal]], Amin Damoola [[hottip:*: I'm in the money]], Hippsodeth [[hottip:*: Hips of Death]], Ayam Aghoul [[hottip:*: I am a ghoul]], Al-Butros [[hottip:*: Albatross]], Haroud Hazi Bin [[hottip:*: How rude has he been]], Eden [[hottip:*: [[IDreamOfJeannie after Barbara Eden]], Saleen [[hottip:*: Saline, aka salt water]], Al Muddi [[hottip:*: All muddy]], Nefir Hasenuf [[hottip:*: Never has enough]], Al Gebraic [[hottip:*: Algebraic]], Khartoum [[hottip:*: After the capital of Sudan]]... and probably more. Suffice to say, [[WorldOfPun the writers love puns]].
** The ''Disney Adventures'' comics got into it too, with Ibn Bahd [[hottip:*: I been bad]]
* RecycledTheSeries: It works.
* RedemptionEarnsLife: Amal.
* RedRightHand: Mozenrath.
* RedshirtArmy: The Royal Guards--They were said to have been easily defeated/killed trying to stop Dominus Tusk.
* RescueRomance: Invoked. Aladdin saves fellow street rat Sadira in a situation that is intentionally reminiscent to the way he saved Jasmine in the movie. Sadira falls hard for him as a result and doesn't really care that he already has a girlfriend, which proves unfortunate when she later gains access to powerful magic.
* BestHerToBedHer: Queen Hippsodeth.
* ReformedButRejected: Sadira, in "Witch Way Did She Go?", and Aladdin, from the point of view of the guards.
* RoguesGallery: Mozenrath, Abis Mal, Mechanicles, Mirage, Ayam Aghoul
* {{Ruritania}}: Odiferous.
* RaceLift: The Movie sets Aladdin in a Pseudo-Arabic/Middle Eastern world as opposed to China, which was the original setting of Aladdin in the Arabian Nights.
* SafetyWorst: In one episode, the Genie shelters Aladdin in a bubble for protection in this manner.
* SanityHasAdvantages
* SeasonFluidity: ''Very'' fluid. Episodes and entire seasons can be watched in almost any order not only because they show was very episodic in nature but the show was also very good and providing light but informative exposition for returning characters.
* SharingABody: Aladdin and Mozenrath, after a botched GrandTheftMe.
* ShoutOut: Rasoul is named after Rasoul Azadani, who worked at the Disney Studios and proved invaluable in the movie. It didn't make it into the original movie, however. "Rasoul Azadani!" was also the original incantation Jafar shouts to open the Cave of Wonders, but that was considered too in-joke-y.
** The series also has some {{Shout Out}}s to other Disney movies. For example, a mermaid character makes an allusion to ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' when an attempt to restyle Jasmine's hair leaves her with an Ariel-style 'do ("She looks like any other princess under the sea").
** A female genie named [[Series/IDreamOfJeannie Eden]] also appears, who lives in a bottle instead of a lamp.
** "Forget Me Lots" features the Blue Rose of Forgetfulness. And here you thought they were done stealing from ''The Thief of Bagdad'' with Jafar...
** Chaos's design is based off of The Cheshire Cat from Disney/AliceInWonderland. He even turns everything but his eyes and smile invisible.
** In "When Chaos Comes Calling", Chaos turns a couple of dinner guests into [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy a whale and a bowl of flowers]].
*** That same episode also has [[http://www.aladdincentral.org/encyclopedia/images/2/2e/Wccc160.jpg this shot]] of the heroes dressed like ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' characters.
** Iago waking from a dream, "It wasn't me, I swear! It was my twin brother Theatre/{{Othello}}!
* SoWhatDoWeDoNow: Merk, the captain of a flying ship that spent his whole life chasing a giant sand shark, found himself in this situation when he (and Aladdin) finally caught it; faced with the prospect of an empty life, he sets the shark free, just so he could chase it again.
* SomewhereAPalaeontologistIsCrying: In "Lost and Founded", Aladdin briefly goes back to prehistoric times. In the background you can see a massive ceratopsid skeleton, so at first one would presume they had gone back in time at about 65 million years or so, give or take a few. Then a smilodon appears, a creature that not only lived a mere 1.8 MYA to 10,000 years ago, but also lived in the Americas, not northeastern Africa. Later in the episode, fluxes in time cause a man and his camel to transform into a caveman and a ceratopsid, a rather silly thing considering that humans and non-avian dinosaurs are separated by about 65 million-ish years.
* SpaceWhaleAesop: "Did you learn anything today?" "Yeah, never walk off a cliff inside a giant mechanical man."
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Iago (not that anyone minds...)
* StableTimeLoop: Aladdin has to follow Abis Mal back in time to ensure the Sultan's ancestor founds Agrabah, and not Mal's; as a result of their interference of the time line, Abnor Mal gets kicked out of the tribe and forced to live as a bandit, which ensures Abis Mal's life as a thief.
* StalkerWithACrush: Sadira.
* StarfishCharacter: Genie in "The Seven Faces of Genie".
* SteamPunk: Mechanicles's inventions. One episode takes the steam part to the extreme.
* StrawVulcan: Caliph Kapok.
* SuperOCD: Mechanicles in a nutshell. All his schemes revolve around his need for cleanliness. He [[BerserkButton flies off the handle]] whenever he himself or his clothes, floors, and inventions get dirty.
* SurfacingCredits: The opening and closing credit sequences from the movie's original theatrical release are being surfaced throughout the movie's upcoming direct-to-DVD/Blu-ray reissue.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Of ''Rhapsody in Blue'' when Genie is dressed as a flight attendant on the carpet. An obvious nod to the famous use of the song by United Airlines, although odd considering in 1992 [[FridgeLogic Delta was the official airline of Disney]].

* TakeMeInstead: When Mirage reveals that Waheed will die if he doesn't submit to her, Aladdin offers himself in Waheed's place, pointing out that having beaten Mirage several times already, she'd rather have him over some random kid.
* TestosteronePoisoning: Captain al-Butros.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Rasoul and the Royal Guards.
* TimeTravel: The plot of the episode "Lost and Founded".
* TitleMontage: The opening features clips from the series.
* TookALevelInBadass: Jasmine.
* TransformationTrauma: Several.
* {{Tuckerization}}: "Mozenrath" is a mashup of his creators' surnames, Motz and Roth. (Apparently they toyed around with "Motzenroth", but felt that it sounded too Jewish for the character.)
* TVGenius
* TwoBeingsOneBody
* TheVamp: Saleen.
* VillainTeamUp: Mechanikles and Abizz Mal; later, there's also a rather [[StraightManAndWiseGuy less likely team-up]] between [[BigBad Mozenrath]] and [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Amin Damoolah]], as well as the alliance between Hades and Jafar in the {{Crossover}} with ''Disney/{{Hercules}}''.
* WatchingTheSunset
* WeaknessTurnsHerOn: Brawnhilda has a severe motherly instinct and is interested in men that she can take care of, so when the smaller Aladdin arrives, she becomes smitten with him instead of her betrothed [[HornyVikings Prince Uncouthma]]; Uncouthma gets jealous and tries to fight Aladdin for Brawnhilda's attention, which only makes Aladdin look weaker and more desirable. Near the end of the episode, Uncouthma blows himself up with an [[StuffBlowingUp explosive]] [[FoodFight cheese]] [[DropTheHammer warhammer]], and Brawnhilda brushes Aladdin aside to be with her "frail darling".
* WeaksauceWeakness: Genie is powerless if placed into a container (like a jar) with a lid or stopper of some kind.
** Also, [[MisplacedVegetation guava juice]] makes genies lose control of their powers.
* WhipItGood: Jasmine in "Forget Me Lots".
* WholeEpisodeFlashback: "Seems Like Old Crimes" Part 1, which centers around how Aladdin met Abu.
* WholePlotReference: The episode with Arbutus is very similar to Beauty and the Beast, including the Beast intending to hold Beauty captive [[DisproportionateRetribution because her father stole a flower]], and even though Jasmine doesn't fall in love with Arbutus she's the one who ends up [[AlasPoorVillain feeling the most sympathy for him]].
* TheWorfEffect: From Phenomenal Cosmic power to Semi-Phenomenal, Nearly-Cosmic power amounts to a plethora of whuppin's handed to the Genie.
** [[ThoseTwoGuys Rasoul and the other big, burly, tough-looking guardsmen]] seem to exist primarily to get whupped by the VillainOfTheWeek
-->'''Mozenrath:''' Getting in was the easy part. Your ''royal guards'' served as my escorts.
* WrittenInAbsence: Outside of maybe Genie, no character appeared in every single episode. (Yep, even the title character missed at least one episode.) Sometimes a character's absence was explained, other times not. In "Rain of Terror", for example, Aladdin's (plus most of the characters') absence is simply due to the action taking place completely out of Agrabah.
* XanatosGambit: One of Mozenrath's plans involves using Genie as bait for a magic-eating monster, forcing Aladdin to capture said monster in order to save him. One outcome leaves Mozenrath with complete control over the beast. The other gets Genie out of his way. He does indeed end up with the monster in his possession... for a while.
** Another plan also left him with a smaller victory if he lost, a plan where he would either end up with the Sultan as his hostage, or with Amin Damoola forever in his debt, repaying him for his "generosity".
* YouNeedToGetLaid: In one episode Aladdin says Mozenrath needs a girlfriend, but Iago says "I think he's married to his work" and Mozenrath says it's true.
* YouSeeImDying: Pretty much Mozenrath's opening line in ''Two to Tangle''.
* YoureNothingWithoutYourPhlebotinum: Aladdin still gets this at times. Also, Mozenrath seems to think of ''himself'' this way, as he completely [[VillainousBreakdown breaks down]] when he [[BroughtDownToNormal loses his gauntlet]], even though he still has his kingdom and army of mamluks left. Without his gauntlet, [[PowerAtAPrice all that he gave up for it]] [[FridgeBrilliance would all be for nothing]].
