A drawing of Shazzan the Genie from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series “Shazzan”.

(I don’t know a whole lot about this cartoon but I do remember seeing it airing on Boomerang on a TV in a Pizza Hut when I was a kid. I widely viewed it out of context thinking the bad guys going up against him were actually the heroes trying to stop an evil overpowered genie that probably cheats people out of their wishes, that kind of thing. It was muted without subtitles which makes this even funnier. Even weirder is that despite the show’s intro being in English every clip from the cartoon I’ve seen on YouTube (apart from the intro) is in Arabic).
