Genie Rules Meme Template

A genie announces three rules. One wish makes him add a fourth. Write the request in the blank lower-left panel and keep the genie’s answer as the punchline.

The genie begins with a rulebook that sounds complete. The next request exposes a limit he had not mentioned, so he changes the rules instead of granting the wish.

The wish can be impossible, irritating, or technically allowed but clearly unwelcome. It needs to fall outside the three printed restrictions; otherwise the genie would have no reason to invent another.

Fill the empty space above the person in the lower-left panel. The upper panel already lists three restrictions, and the lower-right panel already gives the genie’s response. Leaving those words untouched preserves the timing.

Begin with I wish and make one clear request. A household miracle or an annoying everyday impossibility can work without rewriting the whole comic.

The awkward wish

In the blue space above the person in the lower-left panel.

• Change the wish in the lower-left panel only.
• Avoid requests already covered by the printed rules.
• Keep the diagonal divider and both characters’ faces clear.
