Trivia

• Norm is stated to hate the country of Canada for some reason ("They've had it too good for too long," he claims in his debut episode). Ironically, both of Norm's voice actors (Norm MacDonald, his original voice actor and who he's named after, and Robert Cait) are originally from Canada--MacDonald's from Quebec City, Quebec while Cait's from Toronto, Ontario.
• Despite appearing in only three episodes so far and not having appeared on the show in more than ten years, Norm's a fairly popular character with a relatively large fanbase--many of his fans hope for a spin-off with him as the star character.
• Norm was the only genie that went on "Fairy Idol."
  • Norm hasn't made an appearance in the series since "Fairy Idol."
• In every episode that Norm appeared in so far, Mr. Crocker appeared in as well--although Back to the Norm was the only one of the three in which he actually had a starring role.

References

• In "Fairy Idol", Norm is voiced by Robert Cait instead of Norm MacDonald who did not return to reprise his role, presumably because of scheduling reasons.
• Norm is a spoof on the Genie from the 1992 Disney film, Aladdin, because they both have comedic personalities, although Genie from Aladdin is much kinder and friendlier than Norm the Genie is.
  • Plus, Norm's theme tune (that plays when he shows up, as on the titlecards for "Genie Meanie Minie Mo" and "Back to the Norm") sounds similar to "Friend Like Me", a song from the movie "Aladdin", sung by the Genie. This tune is also used as rhythm to "Gimme the Wand".
