This sense of humor does not carry over in the film's direct-to-video sequel, which aimed to make Jafar more evil, wicked, sinister, merciless, diabolical, blasphemous, materialistic, uncompromising, insubordinate, unscrupulous, unpleasant, ruthless, and greedy. Furthermore Jafar has a sense of humor himself, spurting several puns in a row while keeping Aladdin and his friends from getting the lamp during the film's climax ('Your time is up!', 'Don't toy with me!', 'Things are unraveling fast now, boy!', 'Get the point?', 'I'm just getting warmed up!'), as pointed out by Hades in ' Hercules and the Arabian Night'. Jafar can have a somewhat comical edge that helps to add some humanity to his character, for example proclaiming 'Ewhen contemplating decapitation, a trait unusual in a Disney villain. It is this impulsive behavior that leads to his downfall, as he uses his third wish to become an omnipotent genie, unaware of the life inside the lamp that he now has to endure. He also was depicted as laughing excessively and in a deranged manner shortly after banishing Aladdin to the North Pole, suggesting that Jafar was also insane and suffered from hysteria. It is not until Jafar gains control of the Genie's lamp that he fully shows his true colors, becoming arrogant and short-tempered with his subjects after usurping power from the Sultan. Jafar also displays narcissistic tendencies, his most obvious ones being his obsessive desire for power and sense of entitlement, as well as manipulating the Sultan to achieve his goals. In addition, in The Return of Jafar, Jafar, outside of using loopholes to bypass the ban on Genies killing people via having Abis Mal arrange Aladdin's murder for him or using the environment to have death become an oppressive inevitability during the final battle, was proven to not mind the Genies can't kill rule because 'you'd be surprised at what you can live through,' implying that he could torture people to the fullest extent without killing them.

The deleted song, 'Humiliate the Boy' also establishes Jafar as an emotional sadist, getting a laugh out of seeing 'another fellow's dreams turn into nightmares one by one' and treating the Genie in an especially harsh manner. Even with this mask, Jafar's psychopathic tendencies tend to seep through and become apparent to the viewer, particularly in the opening sequence, where Jafar, outside of immediate initial anger over Gazeem the thief not being the one who is the Diamond in the Rough and thus being killed, displays no remorse in sending Gazeem to his death in the Cave of Wonders, simply proclaiming that 'Gazeem was obviously less than worthy' in a rather dry tone of voice. Like numerous clinically-diagnosed psychopaths, Jafar wears a metaphorical mask of normalcy throughout the film, establishing himself as a cool-headed schemer and gaining the trust of those around him, despite his rather untrustworthy physical appearance. Jafar is portrayed as an immoral psychopath who will not hesitate to destroy anyone he perceives as a threat to his own sinister designs.
