"He's funny. I'll call you... Pinocchio! note 

Other dub names: Double Doco (4Kids); The Clone! (Studio 100)

On a rainy night, Pin's awakened by Dokko. He is very scared because he was found by a long-lost clone. In his youth, Dokko was arrogant and grumpy, so he had no friends. Then he secretly cloned himself so that he would have a partner in crime. But over time, Dokko realized that it was better to be smart and kind, but his clone remained evil. Dokko eventually lost the clone, but now he has been found and is sitting at his house.

Pin and Dokko arrive to the latter's house and the former tries to reason with the Clone, but gets ignored. The Clone offers the two to turn everything upside down, and begins doing so without waiting for a responce. He smashes Krash's pink bench, paints graffiti all over Wally's house and saws down his tree, destroys Barry's vegetable garden, scares Rosa with a scary pumpkin, and breaks almost all the windows. Finally tired, he falls asleep.

Pin comes up with a plan. He sets up the autopilot on the submarine so that it will bring the clone to Pin's homeland, where he will be re-educated. The only thing they need to do is to lure him inside. Clone hears his words and promises to do such a nasty thing that they will never forget. He runs into Pin's house and starts throwing things out of it. Dokko and Pin run into the house and catch the clone in a bag, which they shove into a submarine. Now the Clone is going to be re-educated, but Dokko, standing next to Pin, suddenly says, in the Clone's voice, "Well, I don't know about that, dweeb. We're both kind of stubborn..."

Tropes:

  • Ambiguous Clone Ending: The novelization of the episode, released in Russia as part of the "Multcollection", makes the ending a lot more ambiguous, implying that the clone might have indeed been the one sent on the submarine, and the reveal that Pin caught the wrong moose was just Dokko pranking him.
    Pin became numb. Turning his head with difficulty, he saw the scientist awkwardly shifting from one foot to the other, trying to smile. "The jokes you scientists make," — thought Pin. — "Not really funny." And twirling his wing over his head, he wandered home to sleep off.
  • Duplicate Divergence: Zig-zagged. Dokko eventually became a better person, but his Clone remained a mischievous bully.
  • Downer Ending: Dokko was mistakenly sent to Pin's homeland, and his evil Clone remained on the island. This is however ignored by the very next episode, and Dokko continues appearing in the show with no clone in sight.
