The perfect wish to outsmart a genie | Chris & Jack

If a genie grants you three wishes, use this one simple trick to simply trick that one genie. Whether they pop out of a bottle, or a magic lamp, or an entirely regular lamp, a genie’s wish-granting may come with some sort of catch or loophole– but if you wanna be the next Aladdin and make all your wishes come true, well, you’ll need a loophole of your own!

We’re Chris W. Smith and Jack De Sena (aka Chris & Jack). We’ve been friends for years and love making high-quality, high-concept sketch comedy. Chris is an occasional Blue Man in Blue Man Group. As a voice actor, Jack played Sokka in Avatar the Last Airbender and Callum in the Dragon Prince. In 2016 we united to create this channel, confusingly titled “Chris & Jack”, which has served as a shared platform to write, produce, direct, edit, and star in our own stuff. We’re releasing comedic sketches of all shapes and sizes. Sci-Fi, Heists, animation, movie tropes, absurdist bits, and plenty of fun new experiments. But above all else, friendship.

A huge thank you to all our Patrons, including our “Producer Tier” friends:
DJ Smu-Mu
Steve Mould
Chandler B

We love you!

    You didn't even need the eyeball thing for the infinite knowledge. You know how much knowledge is infinite knowledge? On an infinitely long scroll? You'd have to unfurl…infinitely to get to anything worthwhile.

    I like how the genie was genuinely disappointed with the fumble at the end, like he was actually excited somebody managed to outwit his loopholes only to fall for his on sloppy wording.
    At least he gets to walk away with some new eyes.

    Anyone ever read "The Bartimaus Trilogy" in it, the magicians summon Djinn and they had to write up contracts just like this, this sort of overtly direct and literal commands. It's a really good book series.

    Why not just wish for the genie to fully understand the intent and meaning of the wish and grant the wish based on that, if the genie knows exactly what you're wishing for then there is no catch

    Rather than a wish audit, my first wish would be that all following wishes occur using the intent behind them with no modifications to them. And as such a wish to be a conduit wouldn't make me a a wire but a being like those from infamous and no making a giant explosion to cause it as that is not my intent

    What if you wish for the genie to grant the exact wish you want (all components of your very own desired wish) exactly 2 seconds after wishing for it without him changing anything that is irrelevant to what was wished for (for example the eyeballs thing, glasses breaking, not living long enough to enjoy the granted wish, etc.)

    So basically a thoroughly explained version of "what if you wish that your next wishes would be granted without a catch" cuz if u wish for that then the word catch will probably be interpret differently

    Just wish that the genie can't misinterpret your wish at all, understanding exactly what you want, has to grant any wishes without regard to any rules, therefore also wishing for infinite wishes at the limit of 3 a day, and cannot make any loopholes. Then as a bonus wish for the genie to be free except for responding to your wishes and not doing anything to the world for revenge at being trapped in the lamp and for the genie to be permanently happy. Boom, everyone wins

    3 wishes, means I got 2 wishes to ensure that the last one is an absolute no-issue.

    1) Wish for what this guy wished for HOWEVER, tack on the concept that the gene is not able to misunderstand me in any way and cannot fabricate or devise a monkey's paw situation. [This means no arbitrary misunderstanding can happen and no negative aspect can be applied as the genie will inherently be able to know what I'm referencing and talk about.]

    2) Wish that should the 3rd wish be found to not be what I was expecting, dangerous to myself or others, or otherwise expire due to an unspecified clause in the wish granting, that it would be automatically negated upon discovery and wind back time to when I was first making the 3rd wish while still having the knowledge of what the wish and error was, and will result in me being able to make a new 3rd wish with the same genie until I find the proper interpretation of the wish that I was looking for with no side effects or monkey paws. [This ensures that even if Wish 1 fails, that upon the failure of the 3rd wish, I will be able to return to the same genie no matter what as our interaction is a flashpoint in space/time now. He won't get lost, disappear to a new person for new wishes, or be unavailable. We simply turn back the clock every single time until he gets the wish right. In other words, its an incentive to the genie to get my wish right faster, as he will eventually realize that he's in a time loop and that I will never stop saying something's wrong until he actually gets it right with no issues. As well, this negates the concept that I'm asking for infinite wishes; I'm asking for 1 VERY SPECIFIC wish, which he should understand, and I am getting a refund/return until I get the correct iteration].

    3) Wish that all American debts disappear with no repercussions, inflation and taxes is reduced as a result, and quality of life is improved with no negative reaction from those whom we owed debts to or are actively profiting from American suffering.

    I love these kind of vids lol

    The best way to avoid catches is simply to right the most complete wish ever and then say that you wish for everything you've just written down. Same thing you did, you just try and counter as many catches possible in one everlasting sentence

    The hollywood wish

    Director: I wish to be a smart and famous director

    Genie: you will write badly plotted stories that are full of overly simplified stereotypes with mountains of exposition and woke politics shoved in ever scene

    Director: but i said i wanted to be smart

    Genie: you will believe your the smartest person in the room and say that anyone who calls 1 of the 70 plot holes in your movie is racist or anti woke as if people actually care what you think

    World peace at the cost of an intergalactic war doesn't sound too bad. We're constantly at war with each other anyways, might as well get world peace out of it.

    Plus, he said world peace, which means peace across the entire universe, not just earth
