** Seems to be the case with Stan's clone, having similar memories as his genetic template. It's probably not a coincidence that his main targets are Mr. Garrison, Jimbo's store, and Shelley. Despite this, he isn't very good at communicating this.
-->'''Newscaster Tom:''' It appears that the horrible, destructive creature is actually eight-year old Stan Marsh of South Park. When asked why he was wreaking so much havoc on his home town, the little boy replies simply, "Me Stan, ba-chomp, ba-chewy-chomp, ba-chewy-chomp". Back to you in the studio.
** Also Stan himself to a lesser extent, being willing to use the clone to beat up Shelley as revenge for all the years of humiliation.

Added example(s)
* TheBully: Shelley cements herself as the biggest one in the series by dropping a TV on Stan for staring at her headgear.
** Randy and Sharon taking Shelley at her word while believing Stan to be the troublemaker. Future seasons will imply that Stan is the favorite and that Shelley is lashing out for Randy and Sharon's lack of attention. However, Stan also became a lot more mature as the seasons went on, while Shelley became more of a BrattyTeenageDaughter, implying that this change was gradual.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Shelley might be a violent psychopath, but she shows genuine hesitation when Stan tells her that he loves her in an attempt to stop her from caving his face in. It doesn't work, and a deleted scene shows that [[ManOnFire she overcompensated]] for this moment of weakness, but still counts. It comes up again when she sees him cry over the fear of being sent away by his parents for the destruction caused by his clone, and sticks up for him by saying that he was with her the whole time, saving him from being punished (even if she later administers him a punishment of her own).
* FreudianExcuse: This episode goes a long way in explaining some of Stan's TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior. As if [[Recap/SouthParkS1E3Volcano the whole ordeal with his uncle]] wasn't enough, here it's revealed that he's scared to be home because he's routinely beaten up and tortured by his older sister, who also has ParentalFavoritism on her side.
