* JerkassWoobie: 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 [[CryCute the fact that he looks absolutely adorable when he cries.]]

* MagnificentBastard: Joe becomes this in the episode Like A Dream. Diego wishes that he had a pillow that gives him good dreams. Ziggy poofs up a pillow and whatever you draw and put under in becomes true. After Zazie and Larry leave Joe to guard the pillow, the dream world changes when Joe revokes the dreams of Diego, Zazie and Larry and turns the dreamscape into his own dream where Diego's cafe is now his cafe and Ziggy is now his genie. Joe really does live up to the CunningLikeAFox stereotype in that episode:
-->'''Joe''': Welcome to MY dream. I removed your pictures from under the pillow and put mine there instead.
-->'''Zazie''': That's not very nice! And what was your dream?
-->'''Joe''': To find Ziggy's can before Diego did. Don't tell me you never wanted to!

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Ziggy is somewhat of an in-universe BaseBreaker 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 JerkassWoobie status.

It was decided on Ask The Tropers to nuke any mention of Needs More Love on main and YMMV pages.


* NeedsMoreLove: It barely even has a fanbase let alone merchendise.
