This was from a recent episode of the Simpsons. I love in-jokes like that, not gonna lie
I haven't watched it yet myself, but the episode is here if anyone is interested: http://www.hulu.com/stand_alone/m1pm4mx0?lcname=SitePlayer_lcname_mc_9804_3#0
The episode is Bart gets a friend from Jordan, and Homer suspects the boy's family of being terrorists. Homer starts to have a nightmare about it, and apparently Genie appears |

That is awesome. In retrospect, I'm surprised they hadn't make a joke about that years before. _________________ "If only I could believe you. Perhaps I can! After all... you do bear the name of a flower." -- Arbutus |

LOL. I've always thought that when a movie or something gets parodied by Simpsons or MAD magazine, then they've hit the big time. |

It's at 14 minutes into the episode, and, yes, Dan is also the voice of genie. He actually sounds a lot more like Robin there than he does in the series; just goes to show that he could have got it a lot closer if he'd been allowed to.
Oh, and check out the just-different-enough-not-to-get-sued version of A Whole New World playing in the background. _________________ "If only I could believe you. Perhaps I can! After all... you do bear the name of a flower." -- Arbutus |

that was freaking awesome. for ROJ and the series, I would hear "Homer". This episode, I can distinguish the difference between the two. that was so funny. He does sound more like Robin in this one. |

Maybe Robin has cooled off some more so Dan can get closer without crossing the legal line |

I think it's more that Disney has a contract with Robin saying they can't hire someone to imitate him when they play Genie, and Fox doesn't. _________________ "If only I could believe you. Perhaps I can! After all... you do bear the name of a flower." -- Arbutus |
