Ugh! Finally! Been crammed in there for 2 straight years and let me tell ya: Lamps aren't the most luxurious of places to be staying in. What in the? What is this? And who are you? This sure is a far cry from dumb pink-hatted kids and stupid fairies, let me tell ya. Oh? You wanna know more about me? Well, I'm flattered and all, but how can you NOT know about me? Norm? Whatever, I guess I can do this. It's not like I've got better things to do.
Ahem! Hellooo "Tropers"! (Wow, that's so dumb to say). My name is Norm! N-O-R-M!note And I... am a magical genie! Bet you don't see many of those around in cartoons! Huh? What? You already have? That big blue palooka? Hah! I'm twice the genie he is! (Though I gotta admit, he's got style and he's actually a pretty nice guy, real life of the party, you catch my drift?) Anywho, getting waay off track here. And you can say I am an antagonist that appears in the cartoon The Fairly OddParents!. It's a "fairly odd" show, alright. I mean, hello! Who makes the main character wear a pink hat? It's stupid, right? Who's with me? *crickets chirp* Ugh, fine, I'll stay on track. More of this and I'll be "wishing" to get back to my lamp... Get it? "Wishing?" I'm a genie? And genies make wishes? Aw, who needs you... I made my glorious debut in the episode "Genie Meanie Miney Mo" (Again, who comes up with these names?) where I was conjured up by the one and only Timmy Turner. After seeing how much freedom his idiot fairies have, I hatched up a plan to switch places with them and take my revenge on Canada! Don't ask. My plan worked as I got his dumb fairies to take my place in my lamp! Then, for some reason, I just floated there while Turner conveniently finds the only type of vacuum (a Smoof brand btw) that can even trap me, an all-powerful genie. Hey! I blame Canada on that one as well! However, me and my lamp were actually being sent to Canada and it was totally great! Even when I lost, I win! Though, unfortunately, I was taken to Crocker's Canadian uncle or something and, surprise surprise, was crazy and couldn't even free me from my lamp! Ugh! The luck I tell you, and I'm a magic genie for crying out loud!
Speaking of Crocker, I made my next appearance in the episode "Back to the Norm" (Yay! A title with my name in it!) where I teamed up with the Crockpot who turned out to be even dumber and more than Turner! Although we decided to team up due to our mutual dislike over the buck-toothed boy wonder, it turns out that Crocker (surprisingly) is nuts! He wouldn't even listen to my "Sending Turner to Mars" idea, no matter how many times his own "glorious" plans bit him in the butt. Probably couldn't even hear me well anyway due to the, oh I don't know, the ear on his neck! (Seriously! How far did he fall from the ugly tree to get that?) Oh well, at least I got a kick out of watching that nutcase screw up over and over and seeing him in pain is actually more satisfying than seeing that pink-hatted punk in pain! Okay, not really, but it was still fun!
And, from what I've heard, my popularity caused me to be the solo bad guy in the special "Fairy Idol" (which is totally not a rip-off of that certain "real life" series I'm sure). Like back in my first appearance, I was getting tired of sitting in my lamp as usual and after reading through "Da Rules" book (after that idiot Cosmo gave it to me), I figured out how I can finally be free of my lamp! And it involved a long series of plans that a guy like me who has plenty of other things to do so I will go through them briefly! Ahem! My plan was to get Turner's fairies to quit on him by making a fake Turner to mistreat them by keeping the real Turner distracted by hanging out with his best friend. It worked! Next, I were to take their place as fairy by winning Fairy Idol (Title Drop by the way) effectively giving me freedom of my lamp and leaving Turner still without his fairies! Worked as well of course! Well, I technically lost but my back-up plan involving a wrecking ball helped me make this plan and overall win as well! Finally, enjoy the rest of my life as a free man, genie, fairy, you get the idea! This... almost worked. See, being a fairy has two disadvantages. One, you HAVE to grant your kid's wishes. Chester kept calling me every time to the point I needed to give him a pager! And two, if you don't grant the kid's wish, you'll suffer something called "Magical Backup...Buildup..." WHATEVER! Turner managed to defeat me using this method and, after having enough, I quit being a fairy. Despite literally having the wings ripped off of me, I still won (I'm so good at that!) as Turner was without fairies! Until Chester came back and used the last wish to wish everything back to normal sealing me back in the lamp...
After that, well... I've no idea what happened to me. That was my last appearance in the series and I haven't even made so much as a cameo in any of the later episodes! This is an outrage! Okay, not really. Trust me, you'll be glad I don't show up again. Otherwise, I'd go through... what do you call it? Flanderization and Villain Decay. Yeah, that's it. Just look at Crocker! He doesn't even spazz out about fairies anymore! Sure, he isn't a total nutcase (for the small part) anymore, but he's a total idiot like the others now! And that new flash animation they're using. Disgusting, isn't it? Not to mention The Seasonal Scrappies as well as Turner dangerously close to becoming that chunky kid with the sewer mouth who brings death, destruction and chaos wherever he goes or that chunky dope with the glasses who brings death, destruction and chaos wherever he goes. Also, Butch, what were you thinking making that "wonderful life" episode? And the series went out like a wet fart with a messy end rather than a big bang. Anyway, I got better things to do so I guess you'd better be getting to my tropes now. I'll be reading "How To Get Your Own Television Series Without It Being Bad" if you need me. Oh, and by the way. Don't need me! note
Aw man, my vocal avatar joined the SNL cast in the sky? Well... Thanks for givin' me a voice and a new lease on life even if I didn't show up a lot. *sniffles* I'm not crying, okay? note
Tropes: These are my troo-ooo-oopes! Just read them now! These are my troo-ooo-oopes! I'll take my bow!
- Achilles' Heel: My magic lamp, duh! It's every genie's weak spot. After the third wish, we're forcibly sucked right back in... Unless you can find some unwilling suckers to take your place like I did!
- Also, anything made from Smoof. I don't know why but I could never escape from anything made of Smoof. Apparently, there are some other reasons why "The Man" doesn't want you to know about the stuff.
- And I Must Scream: Being trapped inside of a magic lamp forever until someone frees me. Ah..ooooo..ah.... Very scary... It really isn't. I mean, I'm not allowed to go out of it at will but I control what ever goes on inside my lamp. Like having a bookcase to read up on any ideas for my evil plans. Or giant tv monitors to help me view my evil plans in process! It's just gets BORING inside of there and I deserve more freedom!
- The Bad Guy Wins: Yes! I'm the only person to have (technically) done this three times!
- In my first episode, I successfully trapped Turner's stupid fairies in my lamp so I can be free to do whatever I want! Unfortunately, I've just had to catch the Idiot Ball and allow Turner a chance at defeating me. Which he did by wishing up a lawyer. Ugh the one thing I CAN'T corrupt because, y'know, lawyers are already slimeballs, HA HA! But yeah after he forced me to undo the wishes, Turner sucked me up with a vacuum made from Smoof.
- In my second episode, though I didn't get to take down Turner with the "Wish him to Mars" plan, I manage to get him to do it to Crocker and it was definitely worth it!
- In my third and (sadly) final episode, I got Turner's fairies to leave him and I became a fairy myself leaving my lamp for good! Until Chester wished everything back to normal.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Heh. This is kinda an MO for a genie isn't it? You wish for something, it goes well for like a few minutes until it horribly backfires on you. Not that I would tell people that as it's funny seeing them hurt! But hey! This even applies to fairies you know! Even Turner was smart enough to figure that out.
- Big Bad: Of the episode "Fairy Idol" as I'm arguably the main star! No! Not Captain Overbite! Me! Why else is over half the episode told from my perspective?
- Breakout Villain: Looks like my charms, good looks, and snarkiness have won me over with the fans to the point I was promoted as a minor antagonist of two 11 minute (yes 11 minutes; not 15) episodes to the Big Bad of whole almost-hour long special! Aren't I just the best?
- Cool Shades: They are cool aren't they? Sometimes, they hide my purple eyes and sometimes they don't. When they do, you know I'm in "serious mode."
- Crazy-Prepared: Even though I thought it was unthinkable, I still had a back-up plan in case I lost the Fairy Idol: Take out whoever won with a wrecking ball and take their place as the winner! The icing on the was that it was Turner's (well not at the time anymore heh heh) fairies I was able to knock down!
- Deadpan Snarker: Wow! Really? You don't say? It's not like it's my most character defining trait or anything! But, no seriously real talk. You have to be this considering the kind of people I'm around (linked for your convenience; you're welcome). Especially in the episode "Back to the Norm" where 90% of my dialogue is snark toward Crocker. I'm definitely snarkier than a certain talking octopus who I'm sure ''isn't'' an octopus.
- Exact Words: Come on folks, I'm a genie, have you literally never read a book before? Be specific! Otherwise I'll take any chance I get at screwing up your wishes, because that's what I do! Unless we're teaming up, then I GUESS I'll follow the spirit of your wish rather than the letter... but don't get used to it!
- Faux Affably Evil: Honestly, it can be tough sometimes to tell if I'm complimenting you or making a snarky comment at your expense. Rest assured, it's always the latter option. Also, I can be cheerful and easygoing... Only if someone else happens to be suffering because of me heh heh...
- Hoist by His Own Petard: The classic "I wish everything would go back to normal before I met you" wish. Gets me everytime especially if it happens to be the third wish that sends me back into my lamp. Even though I used this to my advantage in "Fairy Idol," Chester (of all people) managed to turn this against me!
- Ink-Suit Actor: What? What do ya mean "ink suit"? Oh I was designed to look like Norm MacDonald? (Sees a picture of him) Well he does look kinda handsome. But I don't see the resemblance and I'm infinitely more better looking. Sharing names? C'mon Norm's a common name, I'm just anything but!
- Jerkass Genie: Of course! I'm a "jerk" and I'm a "genie!" Makes this the candidate of "Most Obvious Trope for a Person Ever" huh?
- Kryptonite Factor: Again, three things I can't escape from; Magic lamps, the charms of Barbara Eden, and Smoof stuff.
- Loophole Abuse: Now this isn't something that I would recommend doing. I hate being out-jerked! As evidenced when Turner wished for a certain lawyer to make sure I properly undo the wishes I granted.
- Magnificent Bastard: Ooh yes! See, I'm the type of guy that plans out his moves and manipulate others to how I see fit in order to fulfill my plans. Not to mention my charming personality! Why do you always think my plans always end in a success while Crocker's always turn up as duds?
- Older Than They Look: Yup. I'm 50,000 years old, and if I do say so myself, I don't look a day over 4,000.
- The Other Darrin: Huh I do remember sounding different in Fairy Idol. Yeah apparently my original dude who vocal-corded me couldn't clear up his schedule for that movie, so they go a soundalike in uh (Looks at IMDB) Robert Cait? Hmm eh not quite as deeply snarky but I guess he came close to my original smooth silky voice. Kudos.
- Physical God: Um, DUH! All powerful genie right here! Power to make any wish at my disposal (well, of course, after someone makes the wish).
- Reality Warper: Comes with being a genie, genius.
- Sadist: I'm not as "over-the-top" as certain characters but my form of entertainment is always watching others (mainly Beaver Teeth and his dumb fairies) suffer! Either from the drawbacks of my wishes or from my glorious evil plans!
- Satiating Sandwich: So, some random jerk finds my lamp, and gets three wishes. The first thing they wish for, nearly without a fail, is a giant sandwich. Every. Damn. Time! I mean, hey, I enjoy a good sandwich as much as the next magical being, but maybe not waste one of your three reality-altering wishes on one? That Timmy brat is actually one of the few who didn't, and he only wished for a ham and cheese omelette instead because his lame fairies wouldn't make him one, since among one of their bazilionth stupid rules for their magic, they couldn't fulfill breakfast wishes after 10 AM!
- Story-Breaker Power: My magic is waaaay more powerful than any fairies as they're all rule-free! Of course, they all come with hilarous drawbacks to those that wished for him but that still better than the limited fairy's powers. And yes, I knew of this when I was devising my plan to become a fairy. I'd rather be a tad weaker in power but with all the Reality Warper powers of both species and the freedom of fairies makes this a win!
- Smug Snake: Heh. You think I'm smug do you? Well, when you're one of the most manipulative, cunning, and handsome genies around, you deserve to be smug! I'm also smart! You can say I'm a "Genie-us!" Eh? Eh? Ah...who needs ya...
- Surrounded by Idiots: Ugh...tell me about it. Between Turner, his dumb fairies, Crockpot, and pretty much everyone else in the series, it's no wonder I haven't lost my mind! I guess being trapped in a lamp has it's advantages... I still want freedom don't get me wrong.'
- Troll: Where's the fun in letting people know my wishes always have painful (and sometimes fatal) drawbacks? And that I leave out the fact you can wish for as many wishes as you want is even funnier!
- Villain Episode: "Back to the Norm" is all about this guy right here! Oh, and Crockpot too I guess...
- Villain Song: "Gimmie the Wand" is one of my most spectacular masterpieces I've ever sung and arguably the highlight of the episode! Too bad that idiot Cosmo (singing in some woman's voice might I add!) stuck his nose into my song and ended up winning! Fortunately, I had a back-up plan in case of something like that may happen.
- Weaksauce Weakness: Dangit, my magic can't affect anything made of "smoof", a material that is very similar but is completely different from hemp!
- Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: More like "Why Don't You Just Send Him to Mars?" I told Dr. Hunchback many times to do this to Turner but noooooo! He wouldn't listen to the all-powerful genie that's granting him wishes for all of these pointless plans! It was so worth it seeing his crazy self on Mars instead!
- *his magic lamp pops beside him* Guess we're done here. If you need me (of course I mean DON'T need me), I'll be sitting in my lamp plotting my next evil scheme! Of course, whenever they decide to bring me back hopefully for my own series. Anywho, see you never! Aaahhhhhh.... *is sucked back into lamp*
