- “Abu! Show a little respect! Prince Wazoo can't help it that he's snooty, and cowardly, and obnoxious, AND CRUEL, AND...! Ah, go ahead and razz him.”
- ―Genie describing the prince
Prince Wazoo is a minor character in the Disney animated series, Aladdin. He is a suitor for Princess Jasmine and attempts to marry her, despite her engagement to Aladdin.
Role in the episode[]
In "Do the Rat Thing", Wazoo is first trying to get Jasmine to marry him, despite her repeatedly telling him that she's already engaged to Aladdin. When the prince feels Jasmine's hair, a rat shows up and grabs his nose. Terrified of the rat, Wazoo pulls out a dagger, but Aladdin shows up and removes the rat from Wazoo's nose and the prince thanks Aladdin, revealing his fear of rats.
Wazoo reappears with the Sultan, who says that he's going to show him the marketplace. Everyone goes to the marketplace so Wazoo can buy things for Jasmine, treating Aladdin like a servant, the Prince spends time thinking of what to buy. The prince eventually gets bored and makes Aladdin put him on a camel. He then sees a rat version of Jasmine, whom he mistakes for a real rat.
Come nighttime and everyone is having a feast, but they're waiting for Jasmine to show up. Wazoo sees Jasmine, who is still a rat, again and gets scared. After Jasmine returns to normal, she goes to the palace with the Sultan. When Aladdin and Wazoo see that Jasmine still has a rat tail, the prince realizes that the princess is more of Aladdin's type than his and gives up.
Trivia[]

- Wazoo demonstrates that princes are still courting Jasmine despite her being engaged to Aladdin.
- The name, Wazoo, is slang term for buttocks.
