"I have eyes, y'know? They're right under my EYEBROOOOWS!"

Voiced by: Will Forte

The clone of Abe Lincoln. A gangly, indecisive teenager who pines for Cleo while being entirely oblivious to the feelings of his best friend Joan. He's Weak-Willed, in stark contrast to his namesake.


  • Anime Hair: In "Election Blu-Galoo", he spiked up his hair and dyed it blue.
  • The Chew Toy: Between hitting his head on a tree branch due to his tall height, staying up until dawn studying and becoming sleep deprived in the vain hope of winning Cleo's affection, and having his face mangled multiple times by a "knork", Abe just can't seem to catch a break.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: Parodied. He's more upset about Cleo not wearing his Letterman's Jacket on TV as promised than he is about her grinding on Ashley Angel from O-Town.
  • Decoy Protagonist: Abe was the protagonist of the first season and the start of the second season. However, the show's focus shifts from him to Joan with the season two finale making it clear that she's now the main protagonist of the show.
  • Dogged Nice Guy: To Cleo. He's a hopeless nice guy while she's a vain and shallow popular girl who only shows interest in popular guys. He then becomes this to Joan where he realizes he's in love with her by the time Joan hooks up with popular Jerk Jock JFK.
  • Fire-Forged Friends: With JFK, where the two form a genuine friendship after surviving the Death Maze.
  • Follow in My Footsteps: His number one goal is to live up to (or preferably exceed) the greatness of his well-beloved clone father.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners:
    • With Gandhi in the first season. They do everything together include becoming social pariahs and kissing in public to make a point on ADD.
    • He becomes best friends with JFK after he befriends him during the Death Maze. The two are the male characters that know each other the most, with Season 3 focusing heavily on their friendship.
  • Innocently Insensitive: To Joan on a regular basis, both with her feelings and her appearance.
  • Just Friends: What he believes he and Joan are. In the first season, that is.
  • Long Neck: A bit of a "gag neck" as well. He has a very pronounced Adam's apple, which makes his neck look rather bizarre, when his head's in certain positions.
  • Love Epiphany: Realizes he's in love with Joan after seeing her face on Cleo's naked body.
  • Messianic Archetype: In "Raisin the Stakes", he took on a lot of Jesus symbolism. When he became a hippie, he grew his hair out and wore a white robe (with rainbow shorts).
  • Nice Guy: In spite of all of his faults, he's a good person underneath.
  • Oblivious to Love: Parodied till it's nothing, to the point where he calls Joan's "fake infatuation bit" hilarious. Lampshaded in the finale when he asks Gandhi if she'd be interested in him and we get Gandhi giving him an unamused You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! look followed by a minute and a half long montage of every time she's shown she had feelings for him. When he still has the gall to ask "What?" after that, Gandhi promptly slaps him in the face.
  • Of Course I Smoke: This attitude got him hooked on raisins.
  • Official Couple: With Cleo from "Plane Crazy" onward. Or at least until "Changes".
  • Only Sane Man: Downplayed, but whenever he isn’t part of the madness himself, he winds up having to be the sole voice of reason at Clone High.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The dorky indecisive Sensitive Guy to JFK's hyper-sexual and confident Manly Man.
  • Swapped Roles: Abe switches roles with Joan in Season 2, with Abe now being in love with his best friend, while Joan's dating the most popular kid in school.
  • Unrequited Love Switcheroo: With Joan. Abe begins to have romantic feelings for Joan around the time Joan decides to move on from Abe and hook up with JFK.
  • Weak-Willed: In stark contrast to his original self, due to the pressure of living up to his legacy.

    Joan of Arc 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/14f30785_3469_4ac0_b870_862a76eb782c.jpeg
"See, I've never been able to live up to her, that's why, instead, I became a cynical, angst-ridden goth girl."

Voiced by: Nicole Sullivan

Abe's best friend who's in love with him, but to her frustration, he fails to notice. The clone of Joan of Arc, like Gandhi she cracked under the pressure, becoming a goth as a result.


  • A-Cup Angst: Implied. Joan's breasts are noticeable, but when Cleo (who is much bustier than Joan) taunts Joan by calling her flat-chested, Joan responds by kicking Cleo in the face.
  • Arch-Enemy:
    • She was this to Cleo during Season 1 and the start of Season 2. Joan hates Cleo for her being the one her best friend Abe loves despite being a shallow Alpha Bitch who treats Abe horribly. Likewise Cleo hates Joan for being what she considers a loser and when Cleo moves in with Joan the two girls always fight.
    • After Joan and Cleo put an end to their rivalry in "The Crown: Joancoming: It's a Cleo Cleo Cleo Cleo World" Candide Sampson replaces Cleo as Joan’s most hated enemy. Candide replaces Toots as Joan’s guardian, treats Joan horribly under her care, attempts to erase her friends memories, and exposes Joan's misdeeds towards her fellow classmates during the Death Maze, resulting in Joan being Hated by All.
  • Art Evolution: In an inversion of the typical Fanservice Pack, Joan's bust is de-emphasized in the revival, and her overall design is less rigid, including her hair now having a visible fringe on the now rounded corner of her head.
  • Ascended Extra: While always part of the main cast, she more-or-less takes over as the focal protagonist in the revival, while Abe becomes Out of Focus.
  • Beautiful All Along: Parodied, as JFK already found her attractive before her makeover.
  • Be a Whore to Get Your Man: After pining for Abe the entire original series, she goes against her principles by pretending to be a bimbo to get Abe's attention. Not only does it fail, but she also sleeps with JFK after a moment of sharing emotional vulnerability with him. By the time Abe does accept his feelings for her, she's caught in bed with JFK and is cryogenically frozen immediately afterwards (right before Abe can finish saying that he loves her).
  • Closet Key: To both JFK, and Cleo. JFK finds her attractive even when she's disguised as a guy. This leads to him having a crisis of sexuality and becoming aware of the possibility that he is bisexual. Meanwhile, Cleo spends most of the episode trying to get "John Dark" to have sex with her. When it's revealed that John is Joan, while she's surprised at the reveal at first, she reconsiders the idea of sleeping with Joan, and decides it would be hot.
  • The Confidant: For Abe, especially when he's trying to figure out how to get Cleo's love.
  • Daddy's Girl: Joan had a close relationship with her foster grandfather, Toots. In the revival, her revealing he died in a clarinet accident and wishing it never happened shows how much she misses him.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Against Gandhi and sometimes, Abe. It's also very hostile, when snarking at Cleo.
  • Dogged Nice Girl: Towards Abe. She drops plenty of hints that she's in love with him, but he ignores her until the prom finale.
  • Dye Hard: Her magenta hair is naturally brown like her clone mother as revealed in "Saved By The Knoll".
  • Even the Girls Want Her: After she's revealed to be "John Dark", Cleo considers the idea of sleeping with her, and decides it would be "Hot".
  • Gender-Concealing Voice: In "A Shot in the D'Arc", Joan poses as a boy in order to play on the basketball team. Her disguise consists of a backwards baseball cap and a fake mustache, and she lowers her voice several octaves (though she still sounds like a woman trying to sound like a man). Somehow, everyone else is fooled by her disguise.
  • Goth: Lightly, of the "Gloomy" variety. Doubles as a Stealth Pun, as the original Joan of Arc was loyal to Rome, and the original Goths sacked Rome. Joan's such a rebel.
  • Hartman Hips: Lampshaded in one episode, where Abe highlights them as an attractive feature for people wanting to take Joan to the prom.
  • Hated by All: Became this in the very end of Season 2 finale when everyone found out about her cruel methods during the Death Maze. Continues into Season 3 but she gradually wins all her friends back by the end of the fourth episode.
  • Hollywood Homely: In-Universe, Abe and Cleo treat her like this. (Though no one else does.)
  • Hopeless Suitor: Until the two-part finale, anyways.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Despite her feelings for him, she helps Abe reunite with Cleo in "Plane Crazy".
  • Karmic Jackpot: After spending season one being an outcast of Clone High while her romantic feelings for Abe gets ignored, she finally becomes popular in Season 2 while getting a boyfriend that truly loves her. It doesn't last long, as by the end of Season 2 she loses her friends and popularity and becomes even more of a social outcast.
  • Morality Pet: She's one for JFK. JFK acts much nicer to her than to anyone else in Season 1, and by Season 2, her presence has made him a much more pleasant person in general.
  • Nice Girl: Joan has become cynical and angsty due to not being able to live up to the original Joan of Arc's reputation, but she cares deeply for Abe, and is an all-around nice person.
  • Not So Above It All: A lot of the time, it is shown that she can be just as immature and kooky as her peers.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: Confucius points out that Joan and Cleo are both rather similar moral-wise, and she's just as capable of being nasty to Cleo as Cleo's been to Joan. Joan has a Jerkass Realization regarding the years she's spent feuding with Cleo, and makes an honest attempt to reconcile.
  • Official Couple:
  • Only Sane Woman: One of the only two sane members of the main cast and the only one of the main teens with any common sense. As a result she's often ignored.
  • Perky Goth: Joan's seems to be interested in goth culture given her attire and snarky personality, but she's a Nice Girl with plenty moments of being cheerful and bubbly.
  • Positive Friend Influence: For JFK. Joan's the one person who could bring out JFK's kinder side and once they officially hook up, JFK becomes a much nicer person.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: To Cleo. Both fight over the affection of Abe.
  • Swapped Roles: Joan switches roles with Abe in Season 2, Joan now dating the most popular kid in school, while Abe is secretly in love with her.
  • Sweet Polly Oliver: As John Dark. Another Stealth Pun, as "John Dark" is how you would pronounce her real name, Jeanne d'Arc.
  • Tender Tomboyishness, Foul Femininity: She's a sporty Goth with a big heart, in sharp contrast to the vain Alpha Bitch Cleo.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: Basketball-playing goth Tomboy to Cleo's stuck-up appearance-obsessed girly girl.
  • Unrequited Love Switcheroo: With Abe. Joan decides to move on from Abe and hook up with JFK around the time Abe realizes he's in love with Joan.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Joan becomes this for Cleo when the two finally end their rivalry in "The Crown: Joancoming: It's a Cleo Cleo Cleo Cleo World". While the two will snark and insult each other, it’s much more friendly and playful, with the two even coming to defend each other if needed.

    Mahatma Gandhi 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f8d59e4d_fc4c_4f85_bbf9_a713cebd6d35.jpeg
Voiced by: Michael McDonald

A high-five loving party animal who broke under the pressure of living up to the original Gandhi's legacy. He's constantly trying to be popular despite the fact that no one besides Abe and Marie Curie really likes him. He has so far remained frozen for the entirety of the revival, only being occasionally mentioned.


  • Ambiguously Jewish: Despite his clone-father being a Hindu, Gandhi was raised by Jewish Foster Parents, who raised him with the Jewish treatment, though he doesn't seem to care about his religion in the slightest.
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Has ADD and its hyperactive cousin, ADHD. In the third episode it's played for comedy.
  • Beta Couple: With Marie Curie towards the end of the first season.
  • Blatant Lies: Gandhi told Joan that he'd commit to the suicide hotline, but just skipped out on it to go to JFK's party.
  • The Chew Toy: Much like Abe, he is subjected to pain and humiliation on an almost daily basis. This includes getting stun gunned by Joan, painted nude by Van Gogh, attacked by piranhas in a moat, becoming fat and sick from eating too much "Extreme Blu!", jumping off the school's roof and breaking most of his teeth while making his student film with George Washington Carver, etc.
  • Compressed Vice: In one episode, he's stated to have ADD. The entire episode exaggerates both his fidgeting and short attention span for the sake of comedy.
  • Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the Plucky Comic Relief. He's a tryhard when it comes to being comedic, and almost everybody finds him obnoxious and dislikes him with the exception of Abe, Joan, Marie, and sometimes JFK.
  • Forgotten Fallen Friend: In season 2, he's left behind in the meat-locker while everyone else gets unfrozen, with none of his classmates ever bringing him up except for his best friend Abe who only mentions him twice in the season 2 premiere. It turns out the reason for this is that Candide purposefully left Gandhi frozen in the meat-locker and used a machine to erase his classmates' memories of him.
  • Freudian Excuse: The pressure of living up to his predecessor's legacy turned him into the party animal idiot he is today.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: The only students who seem to talk to him on a regular basis are Abe and Marie Curie, though JFK pals around with him in two episodes. While Joan and Gandhi are friends and she even helps him out when he is in prison, Joan often gets understandably annoyed and even fed up with him from time to time.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Abe. The two of them get into hijinks together and even kiss to show a point about ADD.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: When he became a pariah in "A.D.D.: The Last D is for Disorder".
  • Jerkass: Gandhi acts like a Class-A dick, particularly when he was working the suicide hotline.
    Gandhi: Man, that sucks. If I were you, I would probably kill myself. (laughs) Uh, hello?
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Can be obnoxious, insensitive, and self-invested, but is actually a nice guy, deep down.
  • Keet: Always excited and bouncing off the walls.
  • Last-Name Basis: Nobody in the series calls him "Mahatma" aside from George Washington Carver one time.
  • Life of the Party: Livened up JFK's party, by exposing Van Gogh's embarrassing, emotionally-rooted secrets to everybody.
  • Non Sequitur, *Thud*: When getting tasered silly, he quoted "Egg Whites Only", before dropping to the ground. Also, when getting drunk, he said "Back to you, Kojak."
  • Oblivious to Love: Didn't realize Marie Curie wanted to go out with him until it was too late though luckily he gets another chance with her at the prom.
  • Odd Friendship: With JFK in "Plane Crazy" and "Makeover Makeover Makeover".
    • He has a more downplayed one with George Washington Carver. They only interact in one episode and they don't get along for most of the time they make a buddy cop movie together. However, once Carver saved Gandhi's life, they start to respect each other more. By the time their movie premieres, they smile and high five one another like good friends do.
  • Piss-Take Rap: His brief career as G-Spot, due to the fact he considers saying the same word twice to be rhyming.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: Played for laughs. He's the constantly upbeat comic relief but doesn't get much respect from anyone in the show, except for his girlfriend Marie Curie.
  • Put on the Bus: He is no longer part of the main cast after Season 1, being left behind frozen while everyone else was thawed. His absence is mentioned repeatedly in passing.
  • Skyward Scream: When angsting about not getting a prom date for the prom finale, he screams, "STAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!"
  • Teeny Weenie: Judging by people's reaction to his nude painting by Van Gogh (which depicts him saying "No problem too small") and the fact he stuffed his pants with several socks to emulate JFK hints that Gandhi is very lacking down there.
  • Un-person: The season 2 finale revealed that he's been erased from the memories of the other clones some time during the second season courtesy of Candide. Joan's reaction to his name is only a blank, "Who?"
  • Unrequited Love Switcheroo: In the prom finale, Marie Curie shows interested in dry humping with him. He rejects her for a prom-posse, then he wants her back and she brushes him off for a date with Rock Hudson. Eventually, Ghandi and Curie do get together.

    Cleopatra "Cleo" Smith 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9b6e2154_6668_4b82_9c92_3a235bdbdb94.jpeg
"I'm doing a biography called the Best of the Best of the Best of the Best. The premise is how tough it is to be me. Popular, smart, well-traveled, and incredibly well-endowed."
Voiced by: Christa Miller (original), Mitra Jouhari (2023 revival)

The clone of Cleopatra, a selfish, spoiled, vapid Alpha Bitch who's the object of Abe's affection.


  • All Guys Want Cheerleaders: She's the captain of the cheerleader squad and a major Dude Magnet.
  • Alpha Bitch: She is a very selfish, snobby, cynical, vain, manipulative, pretentious and materialistic stereotypical school diva who cares only about her social image, beauty, and popularity.
  • Ambiguously Bi: Cleopatra is initially disgusted by nearly having sex with Joan (who was disguised as a man for the whole episode)... before reconsidering and thinking it would've been hot. No longer ambiguous as of season 2 episode 8 - Cleo and Frida begin to date.
  • Ancient Egypt: Her clone-mother's place of origin. She made this the main setting of her short film, "The Best of The Best of The Best of The Best of The Best".
  • Arch-Enemy: She was this for Joan. Joan hated Cleo for her being the one her best friend Abe loves despite being a shallow Alpha Bitch who treats Abe horribly, and Cleo seemed to return the sentiment, where the two would fight when Cleo moves in with Joan. Cleo stops being this for Joan after "The Crown: Joancoming: It's a Cleo Cleo Cleo Cleo World" when the two decide to put an end to their rivalry, with Candide Sampson stepping in and taking Cleo's role as Joan’s most hated enemy.
  • Attention Whore: Where would she be without her flourishing popularity?
  • Big-Breast Pride: She has a Buxom Beauty Standard figure and is pretty smug about it, being fully aware of how she can use it to manipulate men.
  • Break the Haughty: Come season 2, she's horrified when she discovers that standards have changed since 2003, and she's no longer considered the most popular girl in school regardless of how hot she is. Worse still for her, she finds out the new popular kids actually think Joan is cool.
  • Buxom Beauty Standard: As she herself brags, she is "incredibly well-endowed", and this is one of the main reasons why she's such a Dude Magnet. Even Joan can't help but be envious of her bust.
  • Costume Evolution: Minor but in Season 2 she now has gold bracelets on her upper arms.
  • Cruel Cheerleader: She's the captain of the cheerleader squad, and embodies the cruel, manipulative and vain stereotype that's associated with them.
  • Dude Magnet: She's the object of affection of most men in Clone High, and several men outside of the school find her attractive (including Ashley Angel from O-Town, her dentist, a college boy at cheerleading camp, Abe’s adoptive father, Gandhi's adoptive Jewish father, Toots, and President Dog).
  • Even the Girls Want Her: She's considered so beautiful that even female students find her attractive with Frida being an example.
  • Freudian Excuse: It's implied she turned out the way she did at least partly because her foster mother is an abusive drunk.
  • Hartman Hips: Has one of the largest pair in the show.
  • Impossible Hourglass Figure: Very much so. She has huge breasts and wide hips, yet her waist is pretty much a straight line.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Sometimes she's not actively trying to be malicious, she just doesn't know any better due to her being privileged and too used to everything revolving around her. Though most times, she is just a jerk.
  • It's All About Me: She shows very little consideration for other people's feelings and believes she deserves to be treated like a queen among her peers.
  • Jerkass: Incredibly selfish, thoughtless and outright cruel on occasion.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: There are fleeting moments where she actually cares about people other than herself (For example she did actually feel bad when she hurt Abe's feelings in the Spring Break episode and was as equally concerned as the rest of the group in the revival when Joan was taken to urgent care). However, for the most part, she's very selfish.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: In season 2, she is no longer the most popular and hottest girl in Clone High, with Joan, the girl she mocked the most, being more respected than her. She also injures herself to attempt to wake herself up, first by pitching herself, than slapping herself, smashing a glass of water in her face, lighting herself on fire while covered in gasoline, firing an arrow in her eye, sawing her head a bit, then finally purposely stepping in a bear trap. She then has to swap shoes with Attila, who's foot is quite disgusting to look at and smells really, really bad. And this is just the first episode, seems this new season doesn't tolerate a bully like Cleo.
  • Lack of Empathy: She's a massive Attention Whore that has little empathy for others. To the point she gets confused when she gets a smidgen of sympathy for Joan (but still gets over it pretty quickly).
  • Likes Older Men: Not to say that she doesn't like men her age too, but she has no problems with getting down with men older than her, including her dentist.
    Abe: [while watching Cleo French kiss an old biker man in disgust] Geez that guy's like... fourty-five!
  • Lovable Alpha Bitch: Becomes this in Season 2. While Cleo still has plenty moments of being shallow and vain, she's a much nicer person than she was in season 1, managing to befriend her former rival, Joan, while being a genuinely loving girlfriend to Frida.
  • Mood-Swinger: "Uh...Uh...I'M CLEOPATRA!"
  • Ms. Fanservice: Cleo is portrayed as seductive, hedonistic and libidinous. She often wears skimpy outfits, and her regular outfit is a white tank top which shows her large cleavage and a tight black miniskirt to show her voluptuous figure. In the revival, she is no longer the hot girl due to high school's changed perception of what is considered attractive.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: Confucius points out that Cleo and Joan aren't that different from each other, and it's obvious both are capable of being nasty towards the other in a judgmental manner (Cleo's rampant remarks about Joan's appearance, Joan frequently calling Cleo a slut). When Joan makes the effort to reconcile by acknowledging her faults and apologizing, Cleo responds with a joke about Joan "obsessing over her" that lacks any of her past vindictiveness (and that Joan responds to with a smirk).
  • Official Couple: With JFK for the first half of season 1 and Abe for the second half. Becomes one with Frida towards the end of Season 2, they break up exactly one season later.
  • Out of Focus: While she is still part of the main cast, she's often out of focus in the revival so far.
  • Pet the Dog: Cleo actually defends Joan against Harriet when the latter accuses Joan of stealing Confucius by saying that Harriet already broken up with Confucius by the time she hooked up with him, clarifying that Joan’s actions weren't in the wrong.
  • Proud Beauty: She's very vain and is extremely confident and smug about her good looks.
  • Really Gets Around: She bursts into laughter when Abe talks about both of them losing their virginity together. She's slept with multiple people, including JFK, Abe, a college boy she met at cheerleading camp, her tennis instructor, her dentist, and made out with a 45-year-old man.
  • Sex Goddess: Played for Laughs, as she brags to Abe about her supposedly amazing sex skills... that she uses on other people but never actually with him, which only makes him more sexually frustrated.
    Cleo: I'm gonna do things to you that would shock the college boy I hooked up with at cheerleading camp.
    Abe: ...Wait, what college boy?
  • Ship Tease: With Frida of all people in the updated theme song for Season 2, where she's seen reaching out for her as they're being pulled away.
  • Sleeps with Everyone but You: Cleo is unabashedly a slut, and even details a few incidents to Abe about other men, including her ex JFK, a college guy she hooked up with, her tennis instructor and her dentist. However when it comes to Abe, their progress is agonizingly slow.
  • Tender Tomboyishness, Foul Femininity: Is a selfish and vain Alpha Bitch, in contrast to Nice Girl Goth, Joan.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly girl to Joan's tomboy.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: While she can still be vain, she becomes more considerate and pleasant near the end of season 2 when she starts dating Frida.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: For JFK. While the two were together, JFK was a Jerk Jock and bully and when they officially broke up, JFK becomes a nicer person, especially when he hooks up with Joan.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Cleo becomes this for Joan when the two finally end their rivalry in "The Crown: Joancoming: It's a Cleo Cleo Cleo Cleo World". While the two will snark and insult each other, it’s much more friendly and playful, with the two even coming to defend each other if needed.

    JFK 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/79d1e1bb_fc6b_4f86_ad36_e768bfc16364.jpeg
"I'm a Kennedy — I'm not accustomed to tragedy!"
Voiced by: Chris Miller

The clone of John F. Kennedy. A macho jock who believes his namesake was a "Macho womanizing stud who conquered the moon!" and strives to live up to that, as well as be incredibly masculine due to having gay foster dads.


  • Accents Aren't Hereditary: Inverted. For some reason, he has (an exaggeration of) the original JFK's accent, even though his foster parents don't (and the other clones don't have their genetic source's accent).
  • Affectionate Nickname: Poncé called him "Jacky-boy".
  • Ambiguously Bi: When Joan disguises herself as a guy via a fake mustache, it completely fools him into thinking she's a guy but his physical attraction doesn't go away and causes him some distress upon realizing it. After spending some time with his dads and opening himself up to the idea he may not be straight, he very much flirts with Joan by telling her (still believing her to be a new guy) that she should pass the ball to him more often, as he's "open to anything" and follows it up with a wink. His friendship with Abe in the third season is full of Homoerotic Subtext; he even offers to help Abe lose his virginity to save his life, and unlike Joan, the offer remains even when the threat is gone.
  • Big Jerk on Campus: He's the stereotypical alpha male bully who's also on the top of the social hierarchy in school.
  • The Bully: Likes to pick on his nerdier classmates, including cramming the entire freshmen class into several lockers.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Despite being a hypermasculine jock, he puts out albums every holiday that are apparently sold nationwide.
  • Character Development: He was an Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist Jerk Jock at first, as well as being rather dim witted, but he slowly develops into a nicer guy as the series goes on. He starts to settle for a monogamous relationship with Joan in season 2 and seems to be more understanding to her than he was with Cleo which is a huge step up in character.
  • Chick Magnet: He's the most popular boy in school, naturally most girls want to get with him.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: By season 2.
  • The Ditz: Acts rather clueless, despite apparently getting decent grades.
  • Everyone Has Standards: JFK may have been a Jerk Jock who use to bully Abe during Season 1, but even he finds it appalling that Topher Bus is blackmailing Abe into being his slave. JFK responds to this by destroying Topher's blackmail material with his butt-cheeks.
  • Fire-Forged Friends: JFK becomes genuine friends with Abe after the two survive the Death Maze.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: He becomes best friends with Abe after he befriends him during the Death Maze. The two are the male characters that know each other the most, with Season 3 focusing heavily on their friendship.
  • Hollywood New England: A broad Massachusetts stereotype, with an exaggerated Boston accent.
  • Hypocrite: Got mad at Cleo for cheating on him with Abe, even though he was cheating on her with another girl at the time.
  • Jerkass: In his worse moments, especially in the early episodes of season 1. He used to treat Abe and his friends like dirt, openly cheats on Cleo, uses women with zero compunction, and bullies unpopular students.
  • Jerk Jock: Is by far the best athlete at Clone High, and a jerk to boot. At least until season 2 where his Character Development takes a step further and he is no longer much of a jerk.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Genuinely bonds with Gandhi twice despite normally considering him a loser, and tells Joan she's beautiful ESPECIALLY when she's not pretending to be a vapid slut in the finale. He also seems to genuinely love his gay foster dads.
  • Large Ham: Big time. Probably the biggest in the show along with Scudworth. Half of his lines are shouted at the top of his lungs.
  • The Leader: Of his popular group with Cleo, Caesar, and Catherine.
  • Lovable Jock: Becomes this in Season 2. He forgoes his Jerkass tendencies, becomes a sweet boyfriend to Joan, while also become genuine friends with Abe in the Season 2 finale.
  • Mood-Swinger: "I AM TECHNICALLY CALM!"
  • Mr. Fanservice: Widely considered to be one of the hottest guys at school, and part of his "campaign" includes taking off his shirt and describing his workout routine.
    JFK: And on Fridays, I do abs and legs, but not calves! As you recall, I do those with my lats on Wednesdays!
  • Mr. Vice Guy: In season 2, JFK has seemingly dropped his jerky side and has settled for a monogamous relationship with Joan, which is certainly an improvement over how he was in season 1. That said, he can still be very focused on sex which was likely the cause of their eventual break up.
  • Official Couple: Was this with Cleo in the first half of season 1 before they broke up. He becomes this with Joan in season 2.... it didn't last long either.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Acronym, rather, but he is rarely ever called "John."
  • Really Gets Around: Not quite to Cleo's degree, but he's had a number of sexual conquests, including Joan.
  • Reformed Bully: JFK used to be a Jerk Jock who bullied people in season 1, especially Abe, but by Season 2, JFK becomes a Lovable Jock, no longer picks on people, and even saves Abe from being continuously blackmailed by Topher Bus, befriending Abe in the process.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The Manly Man to Abe's Sensitive Guy.
  • Sudden Intelligence: In "Spring Broken" he temporarily becomes a sensitive, cultured British genius due to his brain expanding in the desert heat.
  • Testosterone Poisoning: May be overcompensating due to him living with gay foster dads.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: He becomes less of a dick as the series progress, especially after Ponce's death.
    • By the revival, he has taken this even further and dropped his jerky side almost completely.
  • Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Played with, he's a huge Jerk Jock at first, but Character Development swings in, and he develops into a nicer guy as the season goes on.
  • Verbal Tic: Says "er" and "ah" a lot as filler in typical Bostonian fashion.

    Principal Cinnamon J. Scudworth 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dba54cb8_ee8d_4e71_89fb_1d7079b3781f.jpeg
"Unacceptable? Did you see the pool? They FLIPPED the bitch!"
Voiced by: Phil Lord
"Maybe we could have dinner! Perhaps the Olive Garden. It's like eating a private dinner in the kitchen of a delightful Italian stereotype!"

The principal of Clone High who's secretly plotting to use the clones for a clone themed amusement park called Cloney Island. Is constantly up to some sort of scheme.


  • Affably Evil: Scudworth is an insane Mad Scientist whose capable of being genuinely polite and caring.
  • Adults Dressed as Children: In "Escape to Beer Mountain: A Rope of Sand", where he pretends to be a student in order to infiltrate one of their parties.
  • Amazon Chaser: Though originally trying to kill Candide, he instantly falls for her upon realizing that she was trying to do the same to him.
  • Arc Villain: He's the main antagonist of season 1, serving as Principal overseeing the clones with diabolical plans of his own, and eventually freezes them in the season finale.
  • Art Evolution: In Season 2, he has visibly aged due to the Time Skip, with his hair now greying and sporting a different pair of glasses.
  • Ax-Crazy: in the season 1 finale, he stabs the prom king crown in John Stamos's eye, completely destroying it, then wears the blood-splattered crown and laughs like a lunatic.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: In the season 1 finale, he traps all the clones and the entire Secret Board of Shadowy Figures (and John Stamos) in a freezer, where he puts them all on ice.
  • Becoming the Mask: One episode has him steal Mr. Butlertron's sweater to make the students like him and think he's cool and caring. After taking off the sweater, he genuinely helps Gandhi out of the goodness of his heart.
  • Belligerent Sexual Tension: Scudworth constantly switches between trying to kill Candide Sampson to trying to impress her due to his complicated feelings for Candide.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: Scudworth may be a goofy Mad Scientist, but that doesn't mean he's harmless as he is shown to be genuinely dangerous and competent when he wants to be.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: Scudworth shares the role of main antagonist of the show with Candide Sampson starting from season 2 onwards. While the two are supposed to be working together, they have different goals that set them against each other, with Scudworth wanting to use the clones to create a clone-themed amusement park, while Candide wants to use the clones to Take Over the World.
  • Butt-Monkey: Expect him to endure some sort of humiliation or injury by the end of an episode, whether it's having the Board of Shadowy Figures on his case or being sprayed by a skunk.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: "Now, you know how I like to perform evil surgery. Everything has to be just so."
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Has apparently had other schemes before Cloney Island that the board caught on too.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: To a degree, though he may just be insane.
  • Co-Dragons: With Vice Principal Lynn Butlertron for Candide Sampson starting from Season 2.
  • Comically Small Demand: His only request from the Shadow Board on the cusp of Operation Spread Eagle coming to fruition is to be allowed to take the clones back once they are done so that he can...open a clone-themed amusement park.
  • Demoted to Dragon: He gets demoted into being one of Candide Sampson's Co-Dragons (alongside Lynn).
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Students and teachers who bother him get sent to the Death Maze.
  • Distaff Counterpart: His long-lost lover Sandra Sandria, aside from being a different ethnicity, looks exactly like a female version of him.
  • Ditzy Genius: He's a Mad Scientist who created clones out of historical figures, but has made many stupid decisions over the course of the show.
  • Don't Eat and Swim: It's revealed in "Don't You Get It? Sports Are Huge in This Town" that he used to be a champion snorkeler, but fell from grace when he got cramps from eating ribs before a competition.
  • Dragon with an Agenda: While Scudworth works for the Shadow Council (and later Candide Sampson) and follows their demands to groom the clones into becoming world leaders, he has his own desires for the clones, in that he wants use them to create his cloned-them amusement park.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Scudworth may be a psychotic Mad Scientist but he's shown to genuinely care for his best friend Butlertron. He also shown to truly care the clones, willing to save them from getting their memories erased by Candide.
  • Evil vs. Evil: His own desires for wanting to use the clones for a clone-themed amusement park conflict with the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures’ (later Candide Sampson’s) goals of using the clones to Take Over the World, thus setting them up against each other as much as they are set up as the antagonists of the show.
  • Freudian Excuse: "Cloney Island: Twist!" reveals Scudworth’s reason why he wants to create a clone-themed amusement park. His parents were grifters who scammed people of their money by tricking them into thinking that Scudworth was crippled and wanted to go to the history-themed amusement park. Scudworth himself didn’t actually go inside the park until his adulthood, where he discovered that all the historical figures were animatronics, which traumatized him and built his obsession with creating a clone-themed amusement park.
  • The Heavy: While he must answer to the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures, he's the guy who drives the plot of the show by creating the clones and putting them in the high school setting in the first place. Even if he gets Demoted to Dragon by Candide Sampson, he’s still responsible for the events taking place by freezing the clones for 20 years while also creating a new generation of clones, and becomes the central antagonist for season 3.
  • Hidden Depths: He apparently likes cruel and cold-hearted women. He is attracted to Candide because she reminds him of his mother.
  • Ignored Epiphany: At the end of the first episode, after disguising himself as a student at a rager and being beaten up, he vows to be more understanding to the students. Immediately after, he insults the next two students he sees.
  • Interspecies Romance: "Money Can Buy Me Love: Stupid is as Cupid Does" puts a different spin on his rivalry with the skunk Skunky-Poo by revealing that Skunky-Poo is a woman and that they have repressed feelings for each other. After trying to get Skunky-Poo to receive therapy to help her overcome her destructive impulses, he even fantasizes about marrying her, having sex with her and having a child with her (which turns out to be a bundle of explosives).
  • Intimate Marks: He and his long-lost lover Sandra Sandria have matching tattoos of pi on their asses.
  • Irrational Hatred: Despises Glen the Janitor for no reason and considers him an unlikable jackass.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Every now and then he shows empathy for a student, despite being an arrogant madman.
    • This is emphasized more in season 2 to contrast him with the straight Jerk with a Heart of Jerk Candide. While she and the Shadow Board want to use the clones as a means of world conquest with Operation Spread Eagle, it's revealed that Scudworth's only ambition for them was to use them in a clone-themed amusement park. He immediately sides with Joan against Candide to save the clones in the season 2 finale, admitting that he cares about them and considers them his family.
  • Karma Houdini: He receives no comeuppance for freezing the clones for 20 years, even keeping his old job as principal. However.....
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: ...By the Max revival, he has to deal with the newest superintendent, Candide Sampson, and his power is greatly diminished.
  • Large Ham: He tends to scream his sentences at the TOP OF HIS LUNGS, and has no qualms about Milking the Giant Cow as much as possible.
  • Laughably Evil: He's an arrogant, sadistic, hammy madman, and those qualities make him absolutely hilarious.
  • A Lighter Shade of Black. Scudworth is this to Candide when the two become the Big Bad Ensemble for the show. Scudworth might be a Mad Scientist who once froze the clones for twenty years, but he's Laughably Evil, genuinely cares for his clones and Butlertron, and his ambitions simply stem on making a clone-themed amusement park, while Candide is a much more serious villain whose goals are to Take Over the World by using a clone of her choosing to be her Puppet King, and tries killing off the clones once Scudworth steals them from her.
  • Mad Scientist: He helped create the clones, and has no qualms with experimenting on his students.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: While Scudworth is treated as a Butt-Monkey and overall insane idiot, he can be a genuinely dangerous threat if he sets his mind to it. This is shown in the season 1 finale where he freezes the clones, along with his superior, for 20 years, causing that season's Downer Ending. Even when he was used as an Unwitting Pawn for Candide, he managed to kill off the entire Shadow Board council and eventually outplays Candide at the end of season 3 by stealing the clones right under her nose.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: Scudworth is a Mad Scientist who is very childish and gullible, and tends to throw tantrums or cry hysterically whenever things don't go his way. Then there are his plans to make a clone-themed amusement park, which is a dream he had since he was a child.
  • Sadist: He's upset when Gandhi is entirely willing to let Scudworth perform potentially fatal brain surgery in him with a drill to cure his ADHD and ADD on the grounds that it takes away the fun of it.
    Scudworth: You're not terrified. Where's the sport?
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: In the prom finale, his nemesis is STAMOS! (Actor John Stamos, that is.)
    • Also, Skunky Poo. (And his replacement, Crabby Cakes.)
    • And, in the Season 2 finale, singer and songwriter Michael Bolton.
  • The Starscream: He plans to betray the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures and employ the clones for his own purposes. Namely, a clone theme park called "Cloney Island".
  • Stupid Evil: For Rule of Funny. His grand scheme is to hijack the clones, who have high intellect and talents, and... use them for a theme park.
  • This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!: "Did you see that pool? They flipped the bitch!"
  • Unwitting Pawn: He's this to Candide in "Clone Alone" where she uses him to kill all of her superiors so no one can stand in her way of taking over the world.
  • What the Hell Is That Accent?: He speaks with a strange, Mid-Atlantic-esque affectation to his voice not unlike Moira Rose's.

    Vice Principal Besley Lynn Butlertron 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_5937_5.png
"Good title. It draws the reader in without giving too much away. Wesley."
Voiced by: Chris Miller

A robotic butler based on the titular character from Mr. Belvedere. Principal Scudworth's sidekick, best friend and voice of reason. Has a habit of calling everyone "Wesley".


  • Affectionate Nickname: Scudworth calls him "Mr. B".
  • Affectionate Parody: He's based on Mr. Belvedere, hence his profession and appearance. (Originally, it was assumed that his habit of calling everyone "Wesley" was also in reference to the character; this was later disproven in Season 2.) He was originally supposed to be called "Mr. Belvetron", and is even referred to by the given name "Lynn" once in a while, but the show's creators couldn't get legal permission.
  • Co-Dragons: By Season 2, both he and Scudworth are Candide Sampson's right hand men.
  • The Dragon: He serves as Scudworth's right hand man.
  • Character Catchphrase: He calls everyone "Wesley". For 20 years, nobody knew why, until the Season 2 episode "For Your Consideration" reveals that "Wesley" was the name of his "twin" brother.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Played for laughs, being filled with melodramatic cliches. Season 2 reveals that, as a child he found out he was adopted, despite thinking he was he and his brother, Wesley, were identical twins. He then melodramatically runs away from home. He meets his brother again later in life, who drowns trying to baptise him. Also, he found his wife in bed with a VCR.
  • Distaff Counterpart: Sandra Sandria's robotic assistant Mrs. C is blatantly a female version of him.
  • Formerly Fit: Played for laughs in Sleep of Faith: La Rue D'Awakening. Scan Grade mocks him for supposedly having gained weight since college.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Principal Scudworth. They've been partners since the 1980s.
  • The Jeeves: He acts as the voice of reason for Scudworth (and displays far more common sense).
  • Machine Monotone: Speaks in a monotone, electronic voice.
  • Nice Guy: In contrast to Scudworth, he respects the students of Clone High and tries to help them with their problems.
  • Only Sane Man: The voice of reason to Principal Scudworth.
  • Robot Maid: A male variant.
  • Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: In the Series Fauxnale when the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures comes to take the clones away and terminate Scudworth.
  • Sitcom Archnemesis: Has one with Scangrade, to the point that he calls him by his name instead of Wesley.
  • Something Else Also Rises: His antenna straightens up when Joan hugs him in the series premiere. It happens again when he meets his Distaff Counterpart Mrs. C in "Cloney Island: Twist!"
  • Straight Man: He constantly points out the insanity in Scudsworth's ideas.

Introduced in the revival:

    Frida Kahlo

Click to see her season one design

Voiced by: Vicci Martinez

The 16-year-old genetic clone of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. She's the Class president, and has taken Cleo's spot as the most popular student in the school.


  • Ascended Extra: A clone Frida Kahlo originally appeared as a first generation student in the Season 1 episode, "Makeover Makeover Makeover: the Makeover Episode". As of the season 2 premiere, "Let's Try This Again" she has been retconned as a member of the second generation of clones with a different design.
  • Ambiguously Bi: It's not yet clear if she is bisexual like her clone mother, but we do know that she at least likes girls since she does become an Official Couple with Cleo.
  • Big Ol' Unibrow: Type 2. Her unibrow is apparently sentient and can move around on her face at will (or detach completely, in the event of an emergency).
  • Dreary Half-Lidded Eyes: Has these due to her chill persona.
  • Gibberish of Love: She becomes a panicky mess around her crush, Cleo.
  • Girls with Moustaches: A trait her clone mother is well-known for, Frida's got some peachfuzz on her upper lip.
  • Mellow Fellow: She's considered an expert on chilling, and shows very little anxiety due to that stress being channeled into her art.
  • Morality Pet: She this to Cleo. Though initially jealous of Frida for replacing her as the most popular girl in school, upon getting to know her more, Cleo becomes the one she shows the most kindness towards and upon becoming an Official Couple up with Frida, Cleo treats Frida far better than she treated JFK and Abe during her past relationships with them.
  • Nice Girl: She's actually quite nice, friendly, and considerate.
  • Official Couple: She hooks up with Cleo towards the end of Season 2. They break up exactly one season later, but the Season 3 finale does hint that they may get back together in the future.
  • Progressively Prettier: While her season 1 design was a Butterface caricature of the original Frida Kahlo, her season 2 design is shorter and much cuter, even with a thicker (and sentient) unibrow.
  • Redeeming Replacement: To Cleo as Clone High's most popular student. She's a nice, considerate girl, has a healthy friendship with Harriet Tubman, and quickly makes friends with Joan and shows concern for her wellbeing.
  • Ship Tease: With Cleo of all people in the updated theme song for Season 2, where she's seen reaching out for her as they're being pulled away (mirroring Joan's and Abe's hands in the first season). This comes to fruition when episode 8 reveals they have a mutual crush on each other. They break up exactly one season later.
  • Third-Option Love Interest: She becomes this to Cleo after the latter's failed relationships with JFK and Abe.

    Harriet Tubman 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_5931.png
Click to see her season one design

Voiced by: Debra Wilson (original), Ayo Edebiri (2023 revival)

The genetic clone of the African-American abolitionist Harriet Tubman. She and Frida Kahlo, who she considers her "sister from another petri dish", are the best of friends and celebrate inclusivity together in a very non-inclusive way.


  • Ascended Extra: She made her first official appearance in the background, during the season one episode "Makeover Makeover Makeover: the Makeover Episode", gushing with the other girls, as she watched Gandhi, after he was given a makeover by JFK. In the revival, she is retconned as a member of the second generation of clones from 2007, but now with a completely new design.
  • Genki Girl: She's always full of energy, even cartwheeling onto stage in her first scene.
  • I Just Want to Be Special: Her biggest fear is eventually becoming a "basic bitch". Like many other clones, this is because she lives in the shadow of her clonemother.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: Out of all of the clones, Harriet resembles her voice actor Ayo Edebiri much more than Harriet Tubman.
  • Nice Girl: Her and Frida become friends with Joan and invite her to a sleepover to help her get her secrets off her chest. Harriet overall is a pretty sweet person.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: A very kind girl with bright pink hair to match.
  • The Perfectionist: She gets neurotic about being anything other than exceptional, threatening people if they don't come to her Unity Fair and getting very twitchy when Joan makes alterations to her play.
  • Progressively Prettier: Her season 1 design has an average face that looks older and grumpier, in contrast to her modern, cute and doe-eyed redesign in season 2.
  • Punny Name: Harriet Tubman sure has a lot of hair.

    Confucius 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_5933.png
Click to for his season one design

Voiced by: Kelvin Yu

A second-generation student at Clone High High School and the genetic clone of Chinese teacher and philosopher, Confucius. An internet loving hipster who is all about fooling around and making memes of his misadventures, but also struggles to reconcile this natural part of himself with his clonefather’s wise and spiritual legacy.


  • Bad Influencer: Subverted. Though he is always streaming and taking pictures on his phone for FlipFlop and is the most social media centric of all the clones in the main cast, he’s also one of the kindest and most easygoing of the clones in the second season, giving Abe misguided but well intentioned advice when he was being "cancelled" and helping JFK get through an internet cyber bullying war against Topher.
  • Catfishing: Does this to Harriet as "definitelyahotguy69" with Photoshopped pictures of a shirtless Hunk, due to being insecure that she won't like his real self.
  • Clark Kent Outfit: Though he might be mistaken for being chubby at first due to his outfit, it’s revealed in "The Principal Principle: Sub-Zero to Sub-Hero" that this is actually because of him wearing an especially large and baggy shirt and jacket that covers up his surprisingly muscular body.
  • Geek: He seems to be much more into surfing the internet than doing any physical activities.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: He and Abe quickly become friends, and he also strikes up a budding friendship with JFK, teaching him about social media and helping him win a trolling battle against Topher Bus.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • Much like Gandhi, it’s hinted that Confucius buckled under the pressure of living up to his clone father, which he is ashamed of. He often goes to the thinking docks to try and think like the original Confucius.
    • "Spring Broken" reveals that despite his robust presence on social media, he's actually very insecure.
  • Lonely Rich Kid: "Saved by the Knoll" shows that he’s arguably the richest clone in Exclamation thanks to his foster parents, but the very next episode shows that they use their money throwing at him as a substitute for actual parental and familial love while clearly favoring his sister, even telling him in the comments section of his FlipFlop feed that they were going on a two week vacation without him because they “actually wanted to have fun” and that there was a credit card in the microwave for dinner. This has left him starved for some kind of meaningful social connection, whether romantic, platonic, or online, while also filling him with insecurities over whether he is good enough to have one.
  • Nice Guy: He can pass for Mr. Vice Guy since he does technically show JFK how to write mean comments online. However, despite this, he really is a decent and friendly guy who befriends Abe, Joan, and JFK almost instantly.
  • Phoneaholic Teenager: In "Spring Broken" he's shown panicking that he can't check his social media while stranded in the desert.
  • Spoiled Sweet: His foster mother is shown to be extremely wealthy giving everything Confucius wants. Despite this Confucius remains a Nice Guy whose willing to help his friends out with anything, even using the $100,000 check his mom gave him to help Joan save her favorite restaurant.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: As an irresponsible party animal cloned from a famously wise and revered spiritual leader, he draws a lot from Gandhi.
  • The Unfavorite: Clearly this for his foster mom, at the very least—she mentions his sister specifically in her Flip Flop comments as someone she's taking on vacation before warning Confucius not to get lost because no one would be around to care.

    Topher Bus 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_3611_8.png
Voiced by: Neil Casey

The second-generation clone of Italian explorer and North American colonist, Christopher Columbus. Ashamed of his clonefather, he goes by the name "Topher Bus" to distance himself from his dad's colonial ways and instead be (or rather, present himself as) a more woke and politically correct figure.


  • Advertised Extra: Downplayed; Topher is credited as part of the main cast in the intro and appears a lot in the advertising for season 2. However, while he does have a fair amount of screentime, he is more of a major supporting character than a main one. In Season 3, he appears even less and is completely absent from several episodes.
  • Arch-Enemy: Abe comes to despise Topher the most out of all the cloned students when Abe learns that Topher only pretended to be his friend just so he could manipulate Abe to do humiliating things and get leverage to blackmail Abe to be his slave.
  • Big Bad Wannabe: Topher serves as the Arc Villain for Abe's Story Arc but he's small potatoes compared to Scudworth and Candide Sampson, with JFK easily resolving Abe's issues by destroying Topher's blackmail material.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Topher tries to put a facade as a progressive and woke individual but is in truth a toxic Jerkass who takes joy trolling and blackmail people.
  • Contrasting Sequel Protagonist: Ghandi responded to the pressure of his clone father's high reputation by becoming a wild but still well-meaning party dude. Topher's responded to his clone father's vilification by history by distancing himself from it publicly but acting as a toxic online troll in private.
  • Demoted to Extra: In the second season of the revival, he only speaks a few times at all as a member of the Bleacher Creatures, and doesn't appear without them.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Despite his best efforts, it becomes apparent that everyone sees right through his overly woke and politically correct facade and sees that he’s a creep. It probably doesn’t help that he can be creepy and shows how unhinged he is when outside of school. Only Abe hangs out with Topher and even he’s unnerved by his attitude.
  • Hated by All: Topher is the most despised of all the clones (at least until Joan takes his place in the Season 2 finale) due to no one falling for Topher's mask of being overtly politically correct seeing him for the creep that he is. In fact Abe's the only person who seems to like Topher, and even Abe comes to despise Topher like everyone else when Topher tries blackmailing him.
  • Hate Sink: Out of all the clones, Topher is meant to be the most disliked due to his toxic Jerkass personality, lacking in any redeeming qualities and blackmailing Abe into not seeing Joan and being his servant during the Death Maze. Even JFK finds Topher and his treatment of Abe disgusting, so much so that he saves Abe from Topher's continuous blackmail.
  • Hypocrite: Although Topher acts as an overly woke and politically correct person in public, he gladly takes to the internet to engage in cyberbullying behind closed doors to vent his inner frustration and toxicity.
  • Internet Jerk: On the internet, he uses his anonymity to harass JFK.
  • Irony: Despite wanting to distance himself from his clone-father (who was a colonist, slave trader, and rapist) by being woke and politically correct, Topher is a toxic, misogynistic gremlin who trolls people online and blackmails them, making him just as bad as the original Christopher Colombus than he realizes.
  • Jerkass: His true personality. He's actually a toxic and sexist jerk who enjoys trolling people online and blackmailing (or rather "white leveraging") people into doing what he wants.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: The seemingly stuck-up and snobbish Topher befriending Nice Guy Abe may signify that Topher is much nicer than he lets on, right? Nope. Topher only befriended Abe to learn more about his crush on Joan where he manipulates Abe into having sex with a much older sex-ed teacher before blackmailing Abe to stop seeing Joan and be his slave.
  • Like Father, Like Son: With a cast of clones who all go to varying levels of effort to live up to the legacies of their clone-parents but end up cracking under pressure or trying to make new names for themselves, the biggest irony is that it's the clone who's an absolute scumlord and who wants to distance himself from the original, that ends up being just as bad as his clone-father. From being a toxic gremlin online to a misogynist, Topher is unknowingly living up to the original Christopher Colombus in his own (screwed) way.
  • Mask of Sanity: His clone-father being canceled and him taking the brunt of this poor reputation as a result has clearly done a number on his mental and emotional psyche. He even outright tells Abe that he’s been ordered by a therapist to have at least three social interactions a month or else he’d have to "spend spring break in the asylum again".
  • Political Overcorrectness: His attempt at being woke consists of acting like a stereotypical social justice warrior. Everyone finds it just insufferable as his real personality.
  • Token Evil Teammate: He's the only clone whose genuinely malicious and lacking in any redeeming qualities. Even other Jerkass clones, such as pre-revival JFK and Cleo, having at least one genuine Pet the Dog moment while Topher has none.
  • Tuckerization: Apart from being a shortened version of "Christopher," was named in tribute to Topher Taylor, one of the producers of the first season of the show.

    Candide Sampson 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_3610_7.png
Voiced by: Christa Miller

The new superintendent of Clone High High School. She is assigned by the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures to oversee Principal Scudworth and the defrosted clones as part of the SBSF's "Operation Spread Eagle". Scudworth, naturally, is bloodthirsty enemies with her and both of them don't want the other to work at the facility at all.

Candide works in an office above Principal Scudworth's and monitors him through the glass ceiling between their two rooms. She also has an odd obsession with monitor lizards.

In the second revival episode, it's revealed she replaced Toots as Joan of Arc's new foster parent after he was Killed Offscreen during the time skip.


  • Abusive Parents: In contrast to Toots, Candide serves a one towards her foster daughter Joan, not showing much, if any, affection to her, with their first interaction feeding Joan bugs for dinner.
  • Arch-Enemy: While her personality doesn't help her make any friends during the show, the people below are the ones who hate Candide the most.
    • Her first one is Scudworth. Candide shows no respect for Scudworth considering him to be a pathetic and insane idiot. Likewise Scudworth hates Candide for taking over his position and monitoring his every move and while he does show an attraction towards her, he tries killing in “Clone Alone” when Candide fires him.
    • Her second one is Joan. Candide replaces Toots as Joan’s guardian, treats Joan horribly under her care, attempts to erase her friends memories, and exposes Joan's misdeeds towards her fellow classmates during the Death Maze, resulting in Joan being Hated by All.
  • Arc Villain: She’s the main antagonist of season 2, where she's responsible for making sure "Operation: Spread Eagle" is a success while overseeing the progress of Scudworth and the clones.
  • Animal Motifs: Monitor lizards. She keeps a lot of them around her office, which has a glass floor she uses to monitor Scudworth.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: Candide Sampson would share the role of main antagonist of the show with Scudworth starting from debut season onwards. While the two are supposed to be working together, they have different goals that set them against each other, with Scudworth wanting to use the clones to create a clone-themed amusement park, while Candide wants to use the clones to Take Over the World.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: She succeeds in getting Scudsworth to kill the entire Board Of Shadowy Figures in order to finally control the secret government all to herself and was able to get revenge on Joan by revealing her tactics against the other clones causing Joan to be Hated by All.
  • The Chessmaster: "Clone Alone" shows herself as one. She arranges the clones to compete against one another in the Death Maze so she can use the winner as her Puppet King to rule the world, while wiping the memories of the other clones. She even manages to make room for orchestrating the Shadow Council's downfall by exploiting Scudworth's stupidity.
  • Comically Serious: Contrasting her icy and callous demeanor contrasting with the comedy of the show does Candide's some humorous moments, especially whenever she interacts with Scudworth
  • Creepy Long Fingers: Her fingers are drawn as particularly long and spike-like.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Dotes on her monitor lizards like they were her own children. She even weeps bitterly on the ground after Scudworth accidentally massacres her "babies" in episode 3.
  • Evil Matriarch: Becomes Joan’s foster mother and eventually her Arch-Enemy.
  • Eviler than Thou: She pulls this on Scudworth. Not only does is she much more dangerous and competent while lacking in Scudworth's redeeming qualities, but she manages to use him as an Unwitting Pawn to kill her superiors so no one can stand in her way.
  • Evil Counterpart:
    • She's one for Toots in that they both serve as caretakers for Joan and wear glasses. However Toots was a Nice Guy who truly loves Joan and dotes on her, while Candide is a Jerkass who treats taking care of Joan like a chore and is very neglectful of her.
    • She also manages to be one for Cleo. Both are female Jerkasses who treat others with distain including those who have affection for them (Abe for Cleo; Scudworth for Candide) and serve as Joan's main enemies. However Cleo is capable of showing genuine compassion and kindness, eventually ends her rivalry with Joan, and even at her worse was just an Alpha Bitch and not outright evil. Candide on the other hand is a genuinely evil sociopath who's only (somewhat) kind towards others so she can advance her plans and brings her rivalry with Joan to a whole new level by making her Hated by All at the end of Season 2, truly cementing her as Joan's Arch-Enemy in a way Cleo never did. The fact that Candide's voice actress used to voice Cleo in Season 1 really highlights the superficial differences between them.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Candide can act and sound polite if she wants to, but there is always a condescending tone in her faux-politeness which barely hides her contempt for everyone but herself.
  • Four Eyes, Zero Soul: She wears large glasses and is a cold and unpleasant person to say the least.
  • Hartman Hips: And how. Candide's butt is huge, with her hips and thighs being as wide as her head. All the while her waist is thinner than one of her eyes,
  • The Heavy: While she may have taken Scudworth role as Big Bad, she still has to answer to the same people that Scudworth once had to.
  • Hidden Depths: While inflicted with Truth Serum, she admits she wants to be a mother.
  • Hijacked by Ganon: After losing his position as Big Bad to Candide in Season 2, Scudworth regains it in Season 3 when he literally steals the clones from her. Zig-Zagged though, in that Candide is still an active antagonist who responds to Scudworth’s betray by launching a missile against the island Scudworth and the clones are on.
  • Icy Blue Eyes: Her eyes are blue from her glasses with pale blue sclerae to emphasize her cold nature.
  • Interim Villain: Candide becomes the main villain for Season 2 between the time she takes Scudworth’s role of Big Bad of the show from Season 1 before he reclaims it by Season 3. Though, to her credit, Candide does try and take back the role of Big Bad from Scudworth by attempting to kill him with a missile.
  • It's All About Me: Candide not only wants “Operation: Spread Eagle” to be a success, but also wants to be the only one to spearhead the operation where she has all the other members of the Shadow Council murdered, so that she is the sole Woman Behind the Man to whichever clone is chosen to rule the world. Her selfishness is even more emphasized in the Season 3 finale where she launches a missile against Cloney Island to kill off Scudworth, the clones he stole, and everyone visiting the park, and she assures her monitor lizard that everything will be fine because she is fine.
  • Jerkass: She's a cold-hearted and rude person who think of those inferior to her and use to advance her own plans.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: While usually portrayed as a Jerkass who thinks everyone but her is an idiot, especially Scudworth, there are a few moments with Scudworth and her new foster daughter Joan that show that she might not be as heartless as she appears to be. That is until "Clone Alone" where she actually is a heartless jerk whose opinion on Scudworth being an idiot remains the same, has no problems using Scudworth's stupidity for her own gain,.and only values Joan as a Puppet King she plans to control to rule the world. And when Joan foils Candide's plans, she shows no remorse in exposing Joan's misdeeds in the Death Maze.
  • Literal Metaphor: Sampson puts a glass ceiling over Scudworth's office to watch him.
  • Knight of Cerebus: While not completely devoid of humorous moments, Candide's appearances brings a much more serious vibe to the show. It reaches it's climax in season 2 finale where her actions and revelations she reveals makes "Clone Alone" the darkest episode to date.
  • Make Way for the New Villains: She shows up in the 1st episode of the 2nd season where she becomes the Arc Villain of that season, while demoting Scudworth to her dragon. Then they would become the Big Bad Ensemble for Season 3.
  • Manipulative Bitch: She reveals herself as one in "Clone Alone". She manipulated clone students to fight amongst themselves so that only one will win the Death Maze and become Candide's Puppet King while also manipulating Scudworth to kill off the Shadow Council.
  • Maternally Challenged: She can be affectionate with her lizards and admits under the influence of truth serum that she wants to be a mother. In spite of this, when it comes to fostering the human Joan she's very cold, feeding her takeout of insects under legal obligation rather than affection.
  • More Deadly Than the Male: Candied is much more serious and cold-hearted than the hilarious and idiotic Scudworth.
  • Named After Somebody Famous: It's currently unknown if she is a clone herself, by Candide gets her name from Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
  • Parental Neglect: When Joan comes home from school she says she has prepared Joan dinner because "I'm legally required to feed you". Said dinner is a bag of takeout that she had shoved in the oven.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • The closest thing to a redeeming quality so far is that she seems to take care of her multiple lizards.
    • When Candide launches to missile to destroy Cloney Island, she calls her foster daughter Joan to warn her about the missile so she and a few other clones can escape.
  • The Rival: Becomes this to Scudworth.
  • The Sociopath: Candide meets many qualities as one. She shows nothing but contempt for everyone around her, shows a Lack of Empathy in killing and manipulating people to get what she wants, and is only interested in progressing her goals.
  • Take Over the World: This is Candide’s true goal when she uses "Operation: Spread Eagle" to make a clone of her choosing to be a Puppet King while she rules the world through them.
  • Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: She's the vile villain (being callous, serious, and goal-oriented) to Scudworth's (a Laughably Evil, hammy and idiotic Mad Scientist) and Butlertron's (a Robot Maid and Nice Guy) laughable lackeys.
  • Viler New Villain: She's this towards Scudworth. While Scudworth may be a Mad Scientist, he's Laughably Evil, genuinely cares for Butlertron and the clones, and his ambition is to simply to make a clone-theme amusement park. Candide on the other hand is a much more serious villain whose goals are to Take Over the World by using a clone of her choosing to be her Puppet King, and cares for no one other than herself.
  • Wicked Stepmother: Replaces the loving if eccentric Toots as Joan's guardian after the former died, and in contrast to him views her as little more than a government tool and treats her like another one of her pets, even feeding her bugs for dinner.
  • The Woman Behind the Man: Her ultimate plan is to be this for whoever clone is chosen to rule the world.

Other Clone High students

Introduced in the original run:

    Julius Caesar 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eb7414fe_3378_453e_9bb6_ce7952896e04.jpeg
"I've always enjoyed ingesting raisins, but I never thought about smoking them."
Voiced by: Neil Flynn

The clone of Gaius Julius Caesar, portrayed as an eloquent-speaking dudebro, and the best friend of JFK.


  • Ancient Grome: Even he has trouble differentiating the two.
  • Antiquated Linguistics: "By my troth, Catherine the Great, thou hast playéd with mine heart of stone, and yay, I hath returned but not my pyre".
  • Demoted to Extra: Downplayed. While Caesar was never an important character before the first season's finale, he at least had lines. In the revival, he doesn't speak once.
  • Expy: Owing to him being a clone of the Roman dictator, he looks a lot like the Little Caesars mascot.
  • Gasshole: In "Let's Try This Again," his unity league is dedicated to farting.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With JFK, who he always hangs around with in the first season.
  • The Queen's Latin: Well, he's not actually speaking Latin, but he is a cloned Roman emperor talking with a vaguely posh accent that no other student has.
  • Trrrilling Rrrs: Used with his fancy accent.

    Genghis Khan 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/genghis_khan_7.jpg
"I'm not twenty-one."
Voiced by: Phil Lord

The large-framed and extremely stupid clone of Genghis Khan. He usually speaks in short, loud sentences.


  • Dumb Muscle: One of the biggest students, and also one of the dumbest.
  • Fat Idiot: He's hugely obese and moronic as hell.
  • Gag Penis: When walking in the men's locker room, he is accompanied by a sound resembling a boulder dragging across the floor. Joan's face is incredulous.
  • Hidden Depths: Turns out to have an amazing singing voice when he sings Schubert's Ave Maria at Ponce's funeral.
  • Perpetual Smiler: He is almost always shown with a vacuous grin.
  • Stealth Pun: He's the clone of a legendary Mongol warlord, and also apparently mentally disabled. In other words, he's a mongoloid by both definitions of the term.

    Van Gogh 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b9905d11_e4fa_40ee_bee2_63d7a3fc02b5.png
"My only comfort is that no one knows how... lonely I truly am."
Voiced by: Andy Dick (Season 1), Will Forte (Season 2)

The depressed, suicidal clone of Vincent van Gogh. The "emo" kid of the school.


  • Butt-Monkey: In the pilot, Gandhi puts him on speaker when he calls the school's emotional support hotline, allowing the entire student body to hear him talking about how miserable and lonely he is. This gets taken further in the revival, where him getting horribly injured as well as suffering other misfortunes are common occurrences.
  • The Dog Bites Back: He gets back at Gandhi humiliating him by panting a mural of him naked.
  • Emo Teen: While he doesn't look like one, this is his archetype.
  • Hidden Depths: Like his clone father, he's a phenomenal painter.
  • Last-Name Basis: No one ever calls him "Vincent".
  • Political Overcorrectness: In "Money Can Buy Me Love: Stupid is as Cupid Does", he corrects Touissant and Harriet's use of the term "slo-mo" by claiming that the proper term is "slomosexual".
  • Redheads Are Uncool: He's ginger-haired and a social outcast.
  • Self-Harm: Judging by the bandage he wears around his head, he cut his ear off, like his clone father before him (though this is also in keeping with his Emo archetype).
  • Social Circle Filler: Appears as part of the Bleacher Creatures only occasionally.

    Jesús Cristo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maxresdefault_1_548.jpg
"God has a plan for all of us. A painful, painful plan."
Voiced by: Jeff Garcia

The Latino clone of Jesus Christ. His biggest role is perhaps in Episode 2 where he helps Joan. Jesús is an all-around Nice Guy who tells others to relax and not worry too much about problems because God has a plan for everyone.


    Marie Curie 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/merie_9.jpg
"No, Gene Kelly. It's shuffle, cha-cha, spin left, shimmy, booty quake, thrust, booty quake, thrust."
Voiced by: Nicole Sullivan

The clone of Polish chemist Marie Curie who's been hideously deformed due to over-exposure to radiation.


  • Beta Couple: With Gandhi towards the end of the first season.
  • Body Horror: Didn't quite turn out like all the other clones...
  • Came Back Wrong: The radiation damage to Curie's DNA warped her clone.
  • Demoted to Extra: Downplayed. While Marie Curie was never an important character before the first season's finale, she at least had lines. In the revival, she doesn't speak once.
  • Gentle Giant: She may be a gigantic, mutated freak, but she's very sweet and rather kind.
  • Hidden Depths: She's an excellent dancer, and rather graceful. Even the clone of Gene Kelly can't match her moves! (Apparently, her deformed skull gives her a unique level of balance.)
  • Pink Is Feminine: She wears a pink skirt and hair bow, and has a pink flower on her tee shirt. She also wears a pink dress to the prom.
  • Vocal Dissonance: Her voice is soft and high-pitched, in contrast to her hulking, misshapen figure.

    Ponce de León 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ponce_0.jpg
"Life is so short. I mean, there's no fountain of youth, Jacky-boy. You gotta live every day like it was your last."
Voiced by: Luke Perry

A one-time character introduced and killed off in "Litter Kills: Litterally" (his introduction is so abrupt, in fact, that his death doesn't even get a spoiler tag). Ponce is JFK's best friend who everyone looks up to. He enjoys littering, despite his foster dad being the school's janitor, but littering ultimately leads to his own death when he drowns in his own blood, head trapped in a plastic bag.


  • Cruel and Unusual Death: He dies by drowning in his own blood, only after being sliced up by candy wrappers and stabbed in the neck by a juice box.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: He enjoyed littering so much that the school grounds were basically a trash heap, which in turn made everyone who looked up to him think littering was cool. The litter ends up killing him.
  • Killed Off for Real: The entire point of his character is to die.
  • Long-Lost Uncle Aesop: Only appears in one episode to serve as a Spoof Aesop on the dangers of littering.
  • Parting-Words Regret: Dies minutes after having a falling out with JFK. Played for Laughs because normally, Poncey tells everyone he loves them just in case they never see each other again.
  • Rasputinian Death: He gets his hands trapped in soda rings, suffers paper cuts from shreds of a candy bar wrapper, is stabbed in the neck by a juice box's straw, gets a plastic bag on his head, and finally slips on a banana peel, causing him to drown in his own blood.
  • Remember the New Guy?: The fact that he never appeared in any prior episodes and yet is treated as if he was always there is mocked extensively.
    Julius Caesar: Oh, Ponce, you're a regular character!
  • Shoo Out the New Guy: Killed off in the episode he debuted in, despite the narrator insisting they weren't adding a new character just to kill them off.
  • Tempting Fate: This is what he says before the litter starts killing him:
    What, Joan? Is litter gonna kill me?
  • Tonight, Someone Dies: Again, the entire point of his character. Also mocked extensively.
    Narrator: Tonight, on a very special Clone High, one of the clones you've grown to love will be horribly killed! This is not some cheap-ass stunt where we lamely introduce a new character just to kill him off! A Clone dies tonight!" (As the Narrator talks, the camera cuts to each cast member, but Ponce is cut to more and more often as the speech goes on.)

    George Washington Carver 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/george_washington_carver.jpg
"Hello, cohort. It is I, George Washington Carver..."
Voiced by: Donald Faison

The clone of George Washington Carver, who is a burgeoning Mad Scientist obsessed with experimenting on peanuts. He is always accompanied by a mutant, talking peanut, Peany, which he created.


  • Antiquated Linguistics: Not as much as Caesar, but he speaks much more formally than the other students of the school.
  • Black and Nerdy: He's science-obsessed, dresses like his clone father, and has negligible social skills.
  • Labcoat of Science and Medicine: He always wears a long, old-fashioned lab coat over his clothes.
  • Mad Scientist: He has shades of this, doing bizarre genetic experiments (like creating a sentient talking peanut) just because he can.
  • Odd Friendship: Downplayed with Gandhi. They really only interact in one episode where they make a buddy cop movie together and even then they don't get along for most of the episode. However, after Carver saves Gandhi's live from a falling prop water tower, they start to get along. After the premiere of their film, they smile and high five each other like good friends. Their friendship is an odd one for sure as Carver is a nerdy peanut loving scientist who hates movies filled with racial stereotypes while Gandhi is a party animal who is trying to make a cop movie called Black and Tan. Nevertheless, they did make this movie work out in the end.
  • Official Couple: He and Sacagawea hook up in "Sexy-Ed" after mere moments of Belligerent Sexual Tension, though Go Yell It on the Mountain: Snow Way Out implied they broke up offscreen.
  • Stop Being Stereotypical: Outright refuses to help Gandi make his buddy cop movie in "Tears Of A Clone" at first, pointing out how they tend to be filled with bad dialogue and racial stereotypes. Even after being reluctantly roped into it (Gandhi offered his peanut companion a role), he almost walks off the set because Gandhi insists at trying to make him use borderline offensive black sidekick slang. The movie only gets finished (and becomes a surprising hit at the film festival) after he saves Gandhi from a collapsing set piece, and Gandhi agrees to let him rewrite the script.

    Catherine the Great 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4b87efba_23a4_49c7_9f0f_b415bed47902.jpeg

Voiced by: Murray Miller (Season 1), Dannah Phirman (Season 2)

The clone of Catherine the Great, she is a popular student who is often seen with Caesar, Cleo, and JFK.


  • Beta Bitch: To Cleo's Alpha Bitch. In one episode she makes out with Ghandi (dressed as JFK) just to dump him when he loses the persona.
  • Casting Couch: Participated in JFK's in "Tears of a Clone".
  • Lousy Lovers Are Losers: JFK remarks that sex with her was mediocre, and dubs her "Catherine The So-So".
  • Really Gets Around: Is shown dating Caesar, sleeping with JFK, wanting to go to prom with JFK, and eventually goes to prom with JFK as one of his five dates.
  • Valley Girl: "Like someone put goat's blood on the door jam, you guys!"

    Nostradamus 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nostrodamus.jpg
"I knew you were going to say that!"

The clone of the French fortune teller Michel de Nostradame. Like his clonefather, he is a nerd and an amateur fortune teller.


  • Jerkass: He's a pretentious know-it-all who only pretends he can predict the future to get attention.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: He tries to ask Helen of Troy to the prom by bursting out of a horse's stomach, with a live fetal horse in hand, and having it squeak out his "promposal".
  • Phony Psychic: While he claims to know the future and dresses the part of a mystic, he completely lacks any supernatural abilities. He outright admits in the third season finale that he knows he's not really psychic; he simply makes vague predictions that cannot easily be debunked, or falsely claims that he already knew something was going to happen (but chose to keep his mouth shut for attention).
  • Seers: He's the clone of the most famed seer in history. However, he doesn't seem to possess his clone father's talents (see above).
  • Signature Headgear: He wears a red fez with celestial symbols on it. It would be rather nice in its own right — if it wasn't paired with his ratty nerd slogan tee-shirts
  • Stereotypical Nerd: He's overweight and pimply, with bad teeth and dirty nails. He also plays Dungeons & Dragons, and is generally a social outcast, being unable to get a prom date.

    Thomas Edison 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thomas_edison.jpg
Voiced by: Andy Dick

The clone of the famed American inventor. One of the school nerds, he runs the audiovisual club.


  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: He never appears in the second season. It seems like Gandhi, he was never defrosted. However, he finally reappears in a brief cameo in the third season.
  • Jerkass: He's not the friendliest guy around, and doesn't seem to care much about his fellow students.
  • Serious Business: Do not try to interrupt his AV club duties.
  • Younger Than They Look: He's only 16, but he has gray hair, a wrinkled face, and a hunched back.

    Napoleon Bonaparte 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/napoleon_2.jpg
"Lincoln, we need those plates right NOW!"
Voiced by: ???

The comically short clone of the famous French emperor. He also the tyrannical assistant manager at the local TGI Chili's.


  • Bad Boss: Lords over his subordinates at the restaurant. When Abe accidentally dropped a glass, Napoleon forced him to eat it!
  • The Napoleon: Unsurprisingly, his almost dwarfish stature affects his self-esteem. It's hinted to be the cause of his Jerkass behavior.
    Abe: Napoleon's got some sort of a complex! I don't know what it is, but man...
  • Teeny Weenie: Implied, judging by Joan's reaction when she sees him in the locker room.

    Adolf Hitler 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adolf_hitlers_clone.jpg
Voiced by: N/A

The clone of Adolf Hitler, Adolf only appears for a single background shot in "Film Fest: Tears Of A Clone", yet for obvious reasons, has had a lasting impact on the fandom.


  • Clones Are People, Too: He's clearly chosen a very different path in life if his peace symbol armband is anything to go by, presumably as a direct response to the monstrous actions of the original.
  • Funny Background Event: If you aren't paying close attention, you'll miss him — and his peace sign armband — in the auditorium audience.
  • The Voiceless: He doesn't have a single word of dialogue, spoken or otherwise.

Introduced in the revival:

    Sacagawea

    Ivan The Terrible 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20230706_202431_reddit.jpg

Voiced by Jeffrey Muller
The clone of the infamous and first czar of Russia.
  • Entitled to Have You: Inverted. He hates all women because he wants to have sex with them but they won't have sex with him because he hates them.
  • Straw Misogynist: He literally hates all women.
  • Odd Friendship: With Catherine The Great, considering he's an unattractive incel who hates all women, while Catherine The Great well is one and also one who is attractive and had lots of sex.

    Wu Zetian 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2023_08_23_at_31627_pm.png

The clone of the first and only empress of China.


  • Clones Are People, Too: Unlike the original, Wu Zetian is a lot less manipulative and cruel to those around and being much more social, probably as a response to the heinous acts of the original.
  • The Voiceless: She doesn't have a single word of dialogue, spoken or otherwise outside of briefly screaming after being thrown the pit in the Death Maze.

    Kublai Khan 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2023_08_23_at_31950_pm.png

Voiced by Kyle Lau
The clone of the Yuan emperor and the grandson of Genghis Khan (the original, not the clone).
  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: When Harriet Tubman in the announcement of prom king as "hot in a way your parents would approve of" he walks away meaning he might be this.

    Jean-Jacques Rousseau 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2023_10_24_at_72528_pm.png

The clone of the Enlightenment Era philosopher


  • Perpetual Frowner: He hardly, if ever, is seen smiling in the show always looking somewhat angry. This is likely a response to the original Rousseau's belief that human beings are naturally good, free, and happy.
  • The Napoleon: He is short and looks very grumpy.
  • The Voiceless: He doesn't have a single word of dialogue, spoken or otherwise.

    Boudica 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2023_08_23_at_31742_pm.png

The clone of the Celtic queen of the Iceni who fought the Roman Empire.


  • Early-Installment Weirdness: She has a much tanner skin in the first episode when she switches shoes with Jesús Cristo but has a much paler skin when she fully appears in "Some Talking But Mostly Songs"
  • Funny Background Event: She briefly appears watching watching Topher Bus and Mr. Butlertron acting out a fight with Principal Scudworth pretending to stop them.

    Geronimo 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2023_08_23_at_32059_pm.png

The clone of the leader and medicine man of the Apache.


  • Ship Tease: Catherine The Great is briefly seen chatting with him, possibly trying to flirt.
  • Those Two Guys: It's common to see him and Toussaint Louverture in the background together. It's also common seeing him with Sacagawea due to both being the only known Native American clones.
  • The Voiceless: He doesn't have a single word of dialogue, spoken or otherwise.

    Lady Godiva 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_1583.png
Do you feel empty inside? You probably know me as the naked lady on the horse. And for a long time I was. I was hooked on public nudity.
Voiced by: Hannah Simone

The clone of the Anglic noblewoman famed for riding on a horse naked


  • Church Lady: The leader of the Prayer Pals club at school, a devout Catholic, and a proponent of abstinence
  • Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere: Once Clone High successfully becomes a Christian School, she gives a speech how proud she is and notices how everyone is looking at her...causing her to relapse into exhibitionism.
  • Godiva Hair: Unsurprisingly when she's shown streaking her hair preserves her modesty
  • Naked People Are Funny: While the original Godiva's famous act was done to appease her husband so he would lower his earldom's taxes, this one is simply a compulsive streaker and exhibitionist. Until she found God and became a Church Lady, that is. And until she relapsed, that is.
  • Shameless Fanservice Girl: She had absolutely no problem with streaking naked in public and was hooked on public nudity until she ran into a jail cell and found God.
  • Whatever Happened to the Mouse?: She never appears again after running naked in public again in the end but it's likely she went back to jail.

    Touissant Louverture 
Voiced by: Jermaine Fowler
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2024_02_02_at_61059_pm.png
"Allow me to introduced myself. I'm Toussaint Louverture."
The clone of the Haitian general and most prominent leader of the Haitian Revolution.
  • Ascended Extra: He goes from the first season of the revival as a silent background character to a heavily involved character in the second season playing an arc with Harriet and Confucius's relationship.
  • The Ace: Shown to be extremely skilled with an interest in science as well as being able to tame a falcon.
  • Baritone of Strength: He is shown to be quite a strong character and has a deep voice.
  • Same Character, But Different: Inverted - Previously according to Word of God he's said to be the clone of Malcolm X but was renamed to Touissant in the third season.
  • Suddenly Speaking: After debuting in the second season as a silent background character, he has a speaking role in the third season.

     Jackie the Ripper

Everyone thinks that Jack the Ripper was a man but it was me, a lady with a lust for blood and nail art!
The clone of the mysterious British serial killer.
  • Adam Westing: Jack the Ripper combined with Jackée Harry, complete with referencing her "Mary" catchphrase from 227.
  • Historical Gender Flip: The one responsible for the Whitechapel murders is a woman in this show. Granted, no one really knows the true identity of Jack the Ripper since the killer was never caught.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: Looks remarkably like her voice actor Jackée Harry in animated form.
  • Team Mom: Is shown carrying a sleeping Van Gogh in a baby chest carrier after he ingests a poisoned churro.

     Mary 
Voiced by: D'Arcy Carden
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2024_02_17_at_23136_pm.png
Sorry, some people say my laugh is a little manic and pixie-like.
A mysterious new student of unknown origin who Abe develops feelings for.
  • Bait-and-Switch: Because of her name and the Ship Tease she receives with Abe, one would naturally assume that she's a clone of Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of the original Abraham Lincoln, which gets lampshaded by Scudworth when this identity is suggested. In reality, she isn't a clone at all, she's Bloody Mary.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She turns out to be hiding her true colors twice. When she first appears as Bloody Mary, she is very friendly with Joan, Harriet, and Frida and spends the sleepover having fun with them. However, she is actually just using them to escape from the mirror. When appearing as Mary, she acts like a kindhearted love interest to Abe, only to reveal that she is planning to kill him.
  • Canon Character All Along: While she appears to be a new clone, her true identity is Bloody Mary, who appeared briefly in "Sleepovers" in season two.
  • Chekhov's Gag: Bloody Mary originally appears as a brief gag in the second season, only to end up being a major antagonist in the third season.
  • Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Deliberately invoked. She describes her own laugh as being "manic and pixie-like", while Abe describes her as his dream girl, and this seems to be her overall attitude in order to lure in unsuspecting virgin boys.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: Joan ended up being correct that's Mary is Mary Tudor, but it's not because she's a clone of Mary Tudor but in fact is Mary Tudor as Bloody Mary.

Clone High Staff

    Mr. Sheepman 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_sheepman.jpg
"School's always awkward. I just want you to know that I can relate."

Voiced by: Andy Dick

A history teacher and the main cast's homeroom teacher. The world’s first (mostly) human clone, with a little bit of sheep DNA spliced in.


  • Clothing Appendage: The wool covering his torso doubles as his sweater vest. He shaves it down to a midriff when he gets overheated.
  • Demoted to Extra: Due to his voice actor Andy Dick's real-life controversies in the time between seasons 1 and 2, Mr. Sheepman is only relegated to one nonspeaking cameo, where he is seen sitting at the "canceled table" with one-time guest star Marilyn Manson, who also suffered a tarnished reputation in between seasons.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Sheepman is a mixture of a sheep and a man.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: The actual percentage is unknown, but he appears to be equal parts sheep and human.
  • Historical In-Joke: The concept of his creation is based off the 1996 cloning experiment of Dolly the Sheep, known for being the first mammal ever cloned.
  • Parental Issues: If his comments are anything to go by, he has issues with his father.
    "You gotta LET [your feelings] OUT! Like I do, every night between 10:00 and 10:15, on a pillow shaped like my father."
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: He tries to be one. However, his efforts to get his students to open up to him and trust him back are mostly ineffective.

    Eleanor Roosevelt

"It's time for the Presidential Fitness Test!"
Voiced by: Murray Miller

The gym teacher at Clone High, and a genetic clone of American diplomat, humanitarian and first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The only cloned historical figure to serve as a staff member.


  • All Gays Are Pedophiles: She's implicitly lesbian, and makes several creepy, suggestive remarks towards Joan.
  • Butch Lesbian: Played for Laughs. (Her clone mother was rather masculine, and was rumored to be a lesbian.)
  • Creepy Gym Coach: A rare female version: she makes a remark about Joan (an underage student) having "tight little buns", then blatantly stares at her butt as she walks out of the room.
    "Slowly. Oh, yeah."
  • The Dreaded: She's the harshest instructor at Clone High, running her gym classes like a Drill Sergeant Nasty. Small wonder Abe didn't want to end up assigned to her.
  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: The coach version. She runs her gym class (and the Presidential Fitness Test in particular) like a boot camp, judging her students by harsh standards, shouting at them, and shaming them to motivate them. Talking automatically earns you a trip to the Principal's office.
  • Lady Looks Like a Dude: She's short and muscular, with an angular face, a thick neck, broad shoulders, and hairy legs. Were it not for her breasts and lipstick, she could easily be a man in a wig. Some of the students aren't even sure of her gender.
    Abe: I can't believe we got Eleanor Roosevelt for gym class.
    Joan: Yeah, he's great.
  • Lesbian Jock: She's very athletic and muscular, and is employed as a gym coach.
  • Uncertain Doom: In "Homecoming: A Shot In D'arc", a terrified scream is heard and Principal Scudworth walks up with blood on his hands and announces he is the new gym teacher (suggesting that he murdered Roosevelt offscreen). Although she is later seen alive in the Finale when the S.B.O.S.F arrives at the prom, as a Freeze-Frame Bonus.

    Glen the Janitor 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/glrn_the_jaintor_1_6.png
"You guys do me a favor: have yourselves a great day."
Voiced by: Neil Flynn

Poncé's foster dad, who works as the janitor at Clone High.


  • Canon Immigrant: Possibly. He has the same first name, appearance, and job as the Janitor from Scrubs, and is voiced by the same actor. However, he has a far kinder, gentler personality than his counterpart.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: He's virtually identical in appearance to Neil Flynn.
  • Kick the Dog: After the tragic loss of his son, he tries to give a tearful eulogy, only for Scudworth to interrupt and order him to clean up vomit (stating that Poncé will still be dead when he gets back).
  • Nice Guy: He's a genuinely nice, friendly person who loves his job.
  • Trauma Conga Line: Not only does he lose his beloved adoptive son, but he's also fired because the kids being inspired by Poncé's death to stop littering means his job isn't needed anymore.

Foster-Parents

    Abe's Parents 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grounded_4.png
Voiced by: Joe Flaherty (Abe's Dad)

The basic foster parents of Abe Lincoln.


  • Absurdly Youthful Mother: Abe's mom looks almost young enough to be a teenager.
  • Bumbling Dad: Abe's dad acted kind of stupid in "Makeover Makeover Makeover: The Makeover Episode", when he had a mental breakdown, telling him to fist Cleo up the ass, because she's so hot.
  • Ephebophile: Abe's dad has these tendencies, seeing as how he described Cleopatra (though he has at least enough sense to only pursue her vicariously).
  • Good Parents: In "Raisin the Stakes", Abe's parents handled their son's drug addiction with responsibility and did a good job at getting him to kick his habit.
  • Happily Married: To each other. Neither of them are seen having marital problems through the whole series.
  • No Name Given: Neither their first or last names have been revealed.
    • It's possible that due to them being the parents of Abe, they underwent the names "Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln", as Abe kept his last name, upon his adoption.
  • Standard '50s Father: Abe's dad is a parody of this, dressing like a man from the 1950s, smoking a pipe, and having a "father knows best" attitude, while handing out inappropriate (and sometimes perverted) life lessons.

    Toots 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toots_full_body.png
"Now, I may be blind..."
Voiced by: Donald Faison

Joan of Arc's "foster grandpa". Toots is a blind man with good intentions, he can sometimes provide helpful insights on Joan's problems, but most of the time just says things irrelevant to the situation at hand as he stumbles around like Mr. Magoo.


  • Blind Mistake: He is constantly used for jokes where he makes mistakes due to his inability to see what he's doing.
  • Blind People Wear Sunglasses: Joan of Arc's foster grandpa is a blind old man with sunglasses that are revealed to hide the gaping holes where his eyes should be.
  • Blind Seer: A parody of one, anyways. Though on occasion he can miraculously pull some actually relevant advice out of nowhere. He's also a whiz at basketball.
  • Bumbling Dad: Bumbling Granddad actually. He means well, but he overestimates what he's capable of.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Now, I may be blind, but..."
  • Doting Parent: Even if he's "Joan's foster grandpa," he clearly loves the girl as if she were his own daughter.
  • Eye Scream: It appears he's blind because he doesn't actually have any eyes.
  • Killed Offscreen: In the second episode of the revival, Joan states that he died in a clarinet accident after her freezing.
  • Magical Negro: Parodied. Most of his advice makes no sense whatsoever and he's often stumbling into everything around him.
  • Nice Guy: He's capable of getting along with just about anyone. Toots and Joan appear to have the best familial relationship of the main cast (despite some missteps caused by Toots' blindness) and he's never shown to have any issues in his relationship with Cleo's Drunk Foster Mom. Cleo herself doesn't seem to mind Toots compared to her frosty interactions with Joan.
  • Whoopi Epiphany Speech: Subverted all the time. He starts most of his speeches with "Now, I may be blind..." before delving into something that makes no sense, like going to an Italian restaurant.

    Gandhi's Parents 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/polish_20220419_140740330.png
Gandhi's highly religious, stereotypical Jewish parents.
  • Driven to Suicide: When Gandhi tells them he wants to be a trucker, his mother threatens to hang herself. Thankfully, she doesn't go through with it.
    Gandhi's Mom: I'm getting out the good noose!
  • I Have No Son!: Gandhi's dad responded with this, when his son told him he wanted to become a trucker.
  • Jewish Mother: Gandhi's mom is one, naturally.
  • Jews Love to Argue: Not a family dinner passes by without his parents bickering back and forth.

    Cleo's Drunk Foster Mom 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20220208_194103.png
Voiced by: Nicole Sullivan

Cleo's Drunk Foster Mom is, well, Cleo's drunk foster mom. Never without a drink in her hand, she's either verbally or physically abusive to Cleo (not that it seems to bother her) and lets Joan and Toots move in with them because she's dating Toots.


  • Abusive Parents: Tends to throw things at Cleo when she runs out of alcohol.
  • Dirty Old Woman: She's clearly getting on in years and, aside from frequently being seductive and lecherous in behavior, hits on the teenage Elvis twins in "Cyranos: A Portmant-opus".
  • His Name Really Is "Barkeep": Her name's implied to literally be Cleo's Drunk Foster Mom due to there not even being a hint of her name.
  • I Was Quite a Looker: She invokes this in one episode when trying to hit on Abe. "I used to be hot, too. But now, look at me. LOOK AT ME!"
  • Lady Drunk: Has yet to say anything that wasn't slurred.
  • May–December Romance: She's much younger than Toots.
  • Pet the Dog: Her letting Joan and Toots move in with her after their house was destroyed may have just been because she's sleeping with Toots, but it's still surprisingly nice of her.

    JFK's Gay Foster Dads 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20220208_194618.png
Voiced by: Donald Faison (Wally) and Neil Flynn (Carl)

JFK's foster parents, Wally and Carl. Wally is a slight Camp Gay and Carl is a blatant Straight Gay. They're known for being two of the more supportive foster parents seen on the show. Well, Wally is, at least.


  • Camp Gay: Wally.
  • Fat and Skinny: Carl and Wally, respectively.
  • Good Parents: Wally and Carl are two of the most caring, competent foster parents in the series. They go back-to-school shopping with JFK, and are supportive of his interests, as well as when he questions his sexuality.
  • Manly Gay: Carl looks Like a traditionally masculine man, sporting muscle shirts, a shaved head, and tattoos.
  • Masculine–Feminine Gay Couple: Carl is a very masculine man, while Wally is significantly more effeminate.

    Katelyn 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/caitlyn.png
Topher Bus's foster mom, who looks like a stereotypical 1950s housewife and never stops smiling. Ever.
  • Cloud Cuckoolander: There is something legitimately off about her. In her first appearance she introduces herself by crawling on her back on the kitchen floor, her joints make painful creaky noises when she moves, and mistakes Abe for Benjamin Franklin as she goes inside her fridge.
  • Stepford Smiler: Her face seems permanently frozen in a creepy, painful looking grin.

    Confucius's Foster Mom 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2023_09_27_at_20446_pm.png
Confucius's foster mom, who's a wealthy woman with a hobby of hunting animals and both spoils and neglects him
  • Abusive Parents: Of the neglectful and emotional kind, where she told Confucius via FlipFlop comments, that she was taking the rest of the family on vacation and she would have taken him too but they wanted to have fun. She also said that if he gets lost she wouldn't care at all.
  • Ambiguous Situation: She mentions to Confucius about having a sister, but it is unknown if the sister is also a clone, her biological daughter, or if she's also adopted but not a clone.
  • Parental Favoritism: Very much prefers her daughter over her son mentioning her specifically in her Flip Flop comments as someone she's taking on vacation before warning Confucius not to get lost because no one would be around to care.
  • Parental Neglect: Very much, where she spoils her foster son with an abundance of luxuries, no matter the expense, but at the same, is very aloof and rarely spends any quality time with him. She is also seen on the phone at the time, showing just how little attention she pays to him. This is also shown when she wrote during her vacation that she left the credit card in the microwave for dinner and warned him not to get lost in the desert during his field trip because if he did, she wouldn't be around to care at all.
  • Pet the Dog: In "Cyranos: A Portmant-opus", she and her husband visit Clone High for the parent-teacher conference and bribe Scudworth to let Confucius graduate at the top of his class. When leaving, they give him a hug and some emeralds, and Joan some emeralds as well because she makes him happy.
    Confucius: They do care about me. Just in small, infrequent doses.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: She was able to fund reconstruction for the Grassy Knoll because of her wealth, thus there would not be a charity.

    Mr. Kim 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2024_02_15_at_65135_pm_9.png
Voiced by: Randall Park
Frida's foster dad, who thinks she should change schools and does not know she is in a relationship with Cleopatra.


  • Ink-Suit Actor: Looks incredibly like Randall Park in animated form, only different is that Mr. Kim wears glasses and Randall does not.
  • Good Parents: Despite being stern and moral towards Frida, he is shown to be a supporting parent to Frida.
  • Open-Minded Parent: He makes it clear that he is okay with Frida being in a relationship with another girl.
  • So Unfunny, It's Funny: He likes to tell Dad jokes to Frida, much to Frida's unamusement.
  • Status Quo Is God: Changes his mind about transferring and Frida ended up staying at Clone High.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: "Extremist" is a bit much but he does have a point in wanting to transfer Frida to a different school due to the very low quality of Clone High and how rude Cleopatra is.

Celebrity Guest Stars

    Marilyn Manson 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_5945_0.jpeg
Voiced by: Marilyn Manson

A famous rock star and certified doctor.


  • Ambiguous Gender: JFK refers to him as a "scary androgynous white guy".
  • The Cameo: He appears along with all the previous side characters and celebrities in the Season 1 finale helping the Board of Shadowy Figures retrieve the clones and kill Scudworth, and then AGAIN in the first episode of Season 2, at the "cancelled" table along with John Wayne and Mr. Sheepman.
  • Face–Heel Turn: He went from being a benevolent class president election judge to helping the Board of Shadowy Figures, and THEN being cancelled for sexual abuse.
  • Hidden Depths: After Gandhi passes out from consuming too much X-Stream Blu, he reveals himself to be a certified physician. He uses his medical knowledge to revive Gandhi, then educates the student body on the importance of eating a balanced diet. Through song!
  • Mood Whiplash: His song about the food pyramid starts off cheerful and wholesome (complete with dancing cartoon representations of food), then briefly switches to a terrifying Death Metal riff, with Manson belching flames.
    "And when you eat just sweets
    Make sure you try
    To limit your servings
    Or you'll...
    (Music abruptly shifts from jaunty ragtime to industrial metal riff)
    DIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!
    (Back to jaunty)
    Everybody!"

    Tom Green 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e2iebg7wyaectue.png
"Want to go shave a dog?"
Voiced by: Tom Green

A famous "comedian" with ADD who tries to raise awareness about the disorder at Clone High. Unfortunately, his ADD makes it very hard for him to stay on topic.


  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: He has ADD and ADHD, and is easily distracted by anything. His talk with Abe has him start rambling about random stuff, claiming to be an albatross, and jumping out a window, and his speech to the foster parents of Clone High sees him getting distracted and running off chasing a plastic bag.
  • Cloudcuckoolander/Talkative Loon: Oh yes. He constantly gets distracted and starts rambling incoherently about random things. His first conversation with Abe ended with him jumping out a window for no reason.

    Ashley Angel from O-Town 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ashley_angel_6.png
Voiced by: Ashley Angel

A singer-songwriter from the band O-Town who hosts the Spring Break Dance Academy TV show.


  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: He wears a blue crop-top; due to his Pretty Boy looks, he's able to pull it off.
  • Full-Name Basis: He's only ever addressed as "Ashley Angel from O-Town".
  • Informed Flaw: According to both Gandhi and himself, Angel is completely hairless, so the networks can make sure he makes the right expressions on film when they edit his hair and eyebrows in. The viewer is never shown him as anything other than perfectly groomed, presumably because they are, themselves, watching it on TV.
  • May–December Romance: Abe acts like this is the case, even though there's nothing going on between Cleo and Angel except flirting, and there's only a four-year age difference.
  • Pretty Boy: To be expected, for a member of a boy band. Abe gets insanely jealous when Cleo begins attending his dance academy.
  • Race for Your Love: He does this in the airport when he runs after Cleo.
  • Student/Teacher Romance: Parodied; he's in charge of the Spring Break Dance Academy, and the obvious attraction between him and Cleo is played for drama, but Angel was 20 when this episode was made, making this trope significantly less disturbing than usual.

    Mandy Moore (a.k.a. Homeless Person That May or May Not Be Mandy Moore) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mandy_moore.png
"What is important is that you continue to spread the Snowflake Day spirit."
Voiced by: Mandy Moore

A homeless teenage girl (who is definitely not Mandy Moore) who lives in a dumpster behind the mall. She helps Joan regain her Snowflake Day spirit.


  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: She wears a tattered white tube top that shows off most of her toned torso, further emphasizing her beauty.
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Played For Laughs: living in a dumpster and subsisting on road salt has had zero effect on her looks.
    Joan: Sooo you're just an incredibly hot homeless person?
    Mandy: (shrugs) you'd be surprised at how many ab machines you find in the trash. Plus... I have a trainer.
  • Berserk Button: Do not keep asking her if she's Mandy Moore. She snaps at Joan and calls her stupid for asking several times.
  • Homeless Hero: Parodied. She helps Joan rediscover the magic of Snowflake Day by reminding her of the importance of friends and the simple pleasures of friendship. However, she uses Joan's emotional reunion with her loved ones as an opportunity to herd all the party guests into the basement, so she and her homeless friends can rob Cleo and her mother.
  • Unkempt Beauty: Played For Laughs (again): she's absurdly attractive, despite being a dirty, homeless girl clothed in rags. Form-fitting, color-coordinated, trendy rags. Including a midriff.

    Larry Hardcore/ The Pusher 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000018949.png
"I was into everything: weed, grass, ganja, reefer... Once I even smoked pot!''
Click here to see him as The Pusher
Voiced by: Jack Black

A rock star who visits Clone High as part of their anti-drug program. He has a secret identity as The Pusher, a drug dealer who sells raisins to kids.


  • Badass Cape: The Pusher wears an ankle-length, high-collar purple cape with ermine trim (but only during his Villain Song).
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: During his introductory musical number, The Pusher sports a lavender pink leisure suit with red pinstripes.
    "Check out my sweet-ass matching pants suit!"
  • Department of Redundancy Department: Has a List of Transgressions of all the drugs he's done in his life... all of which are just different slang for marijuana.
    Larry: I even smoked pot once!
    Students: *gasps in shock*
  • Do Not Do This Cool Thing: Tells the students to stay away from drugs, because he regrets getting super high, which also inspired him to write a hit song and made a ton of cash.
  • Dramatic Unmask: After being "depowered", The Pusher is exposed as Larry Hardcore, Scooby-Doo-style. Strangely, he's shown unmasked during his Villain Song "Pusher Man", and looks absolutely nothing like Larry Hardcore at the time (looking a bit like Mok Swagger from Rock and Rule).
  • Fake High: He's actually been selling raisins as a recreational drug on the behest of a fruit conglomerate, to drive up sales. The "high" the kids have been getting is just their imagination.
  • Fangs Are Evil: When he's The Pusher, his teeth become sharp and pointy.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: Larry Hardcore looks quite a bit like a young Jack Black, and performs Hard Rock-style.
  • Villain Song: During the episode he appears in, he sings a song about himself called "Pusher Man".

Other Characters

    The Narrator 
Voiced by: Tommy Walter

The narrator of the show. In theory, his job is to recap the previous episode and tease the following episode, but he mainly spends his time ranting about his personal life and insulting the audience for not keeping up with the show.


  • Lemony Narrator: The description says it all, although more Jerkass-ish than most examples.
  • Girl on Girl Is Hot: He is very fond of the scene where Joan and Cleo have a Cat Fight.
    "Tonight, on a very special Clone High: Abe must choose between the girl he loves, and that other girl with the red hair. Hey, Micah, bring up that shot of the two of them rolli- [Clip from "A Room of One's Clone" pops up] Yeah, that's the one. Well... I'll be in my trailer."
  • Never My Fault: He constantly blames others for his narrative mistakes and screw-ups (as well as his personal issues).
  • The Voice: We don't know what he actually looks like and only hear him speaking.

    Secret Board of Shadowy Figures 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shadowy_figures_8.png
"Dr. Scudworth, the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures has recently begun to suspect that you are completely insane." (Season 1 Shadowy Figures)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2023_06_02_at_103149_am.png
Season 2 Shadowy Figures
Voiced by: Bill Lawrence (Leader)

The shadowy heads of the government cloning project and Scudworth’s superiors, who don’t trust him, due to their (correct) suspicion he is completely insane.


  • Affirmative-Action Legacy: The Shadowy Figures in the revival now consists of three women (with one of them being the new leader) and shown to be more ethnically diverse in general.
  • Armchair Military: Implied. (Until the finale, when they personally crash the prom.)
  • Call-Back: In the two-part season finale of Season 1, their army is joined by previous one time characters and celebrities from previous episodes:
    • Marilyn Manson and the X-Stream Blu Mega Crew from Episode 2.
    • Tom Green from Episode 3.
    • The creepy trucker/Doug Prepcourse and a panda from Episode 5.
    • Dan Patrick and Geshy from Episode 6.
    • Ashley Angel, a news reporter, Skunky Poo, and Krabby Kakes from Episode 7.
    • Larry Hardcore/The Pusher from Episode 9.
    • The ghost of Ponce, Glen the janitor, and the prisoners from Episode 10.
    • Mandy Moore and Snowflake Jake from Episode 11.
  • The Comically Serious: The leader treats everything as a matter of utter seriousness, no matter how ridiculous or silly his conversations with Scudworth get.
  • Character Death: The end of Season 2 sees the entire second iteration of the council killed by Scudworth, and Candide taking over the project.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: They were responsible for the creation of the clones (or at least, the project that made it so), the high school, and possibly the town itself, for the purpose of building an army of the greatest figures in human history. In the two-part Series Fauxnale, they crash the prom to seize the clones and bring the project to fruition (only to be outsmarted by Scudworth and frozen alive).
  • Legacy Character: After the Shadowy Figures from the first season were frozen by Scudworth on prom night, Season 2 replaces them with a different group overseeing Scudworth and Sampson.
  • The Omniscient Council of Vagueness: Parodied.
  • Powers That Be: The authority behind the cloning project, and Scudworth's bosses.
  • Put on a Bus: Implied, as they are seemingly left frozen in the freezer by Scudworth in season 2 - with a new board of shadowy figures filling their place instead.

    Peany 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peany.png
"I'd shake your hand, but you know, peanut arms."

A sentient, talking peanut who was genetically engineered by George Washington Carver.


  • Animate Inanimate Object: He's a living, sentient peanut.
  • Captain Ersatz: With his fancy hat, gloves, shoes, and monocle, he's basically a sideways Mr. Peanut.
  • Covert Pervert: He took advantage of Cleo's alleged "drunkenness" at the student-only kegger to steal a kiss. (And claims she kissed him "right here on [the] left nut".)
  • Foil: To his creator. Unlike Carver, he's jolly, outgoing, and socially adept.
  • Signature Headgear: He sports a tiny brown bowler hat that nobody else in the show wears.
  • White Gloves: Wears a pair, along with his hat and shoes.

    The Creepy Trucker/Doug Prepecourse 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/download_5_482.jpeg
Voiced by: John C. McGinley

A trucker who takes Gandhi under his wing as part of Gandhi's elaborate scheme to get out of taking the PXJTs. He's later revealed to be the ghost of the deceased creator of the PXJTs, who secretly taught Gandhi how to do the test.


  • Dead All Along: Parodied. Somehow, Gandhi never noticed that the Trucker and his truck were invisible, and the flashbacks show Gandhi pouring gas onto the pavement and floating two feet above the air. (However, he also somehow appears amidst the group of supporting characters who were helping the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures.)
  • Destructive Savior: He once got stuck behind a sleepy cop behind the wheel. To stop him, the Creepy Trucker gently told him to get off the road... by ramming the police car with his truck. He accidentally rammed it too hard, causing the cop to fly off a cliff.
    Joan: Did you...kill him?
    Creepy Trucker: Kill him? I saved his life. (Beat) 'Course, he's a cripple now. (Slurps)
  • Hidden Depths: He appears to be a simple trucker, but he's actually the creator of the PXJTs, ans the "trucker knowledge" he imparts to Gandhi is actually disguised academic tips designed to prepare him for the test.
  • Must Have Caffeine: He's often seen slurping a cup of coffee.

    The X-Treme Blu! Crew (Erin, Bob and Mike) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20220711_003721.png
"X-treme Blu!" "It's a POWER SNACK!" "Stick it in your FACE HOLE!" "MY SON WON'T EVEN LOOK ME IN THE EYE ANYMORE!

A trio of spokespeople for X-Treme Blu!, a hip new powersnack being marketed towards teens and young adults. In reality, it's made from pancake batter and blue housepaint, and is an embarassingly cynical attempt by Racist Mammy Breakfast Food to spruce up their old products.


  • Adults Dressed as Children: Even more pathetic than usual, as the spokespeople are still wearing their usual business suits, with a random "cool" accessory added to them, such as sunglasses, and a wool cap.
  • Nutritional Nightmare: Pancake batter isn't exactly healthy to start with, but for some bizarre reason, Racist Mammy used house paint in it rather than food coloring, making it outright dangerous to eat.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When Abe reveals to the other students what's actually in X-Treme Blu, the crew flees the scene, cancelling the Clone High sponsorship in the process.
  • Take That!: Served as one towards the Aunt Jemima brand, and their half-assed attempt at rebranding their offensive marketing (the original version of which was Confederate nostalgia).
  • Totally Radical: The slang and imagery used for the X-Treme Blu! promos were dated when the episode was made! To modern viewers, it's borderline archeological.
  • Unconventional Smoothie: X-Treme Blu! isn't just unconventional, it's toxic, and Ghandi almost dies from three days of subsisting on it. In real life, he'd have gotten brain damage long before then.
  • X Treme Kool Letterz: Not a single part of the product name is spelled correctly.

    The Heebie Jeebie 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heebie_jeebie_4.png
"I eat your stress!"
Voiced by: Ian Ziering

A Babadook-like creature that feeds on stress, and takes away clones who are overwhelmed with anxiety.


  • Emotion Eater: His first lines are "I eat your stress!"
  • "Scooby-Doo" Hoax: The Heebie Jeebie turns out to be just Ian Ziering in disguise, and the clones he took away were sent to a spa in order to relax... and also get brainwashed.

Top
