History Main / OddballDoppelganger

* Ditto from ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' can transform into other Pokémon and usually isn't distinguishable from the real thing. However, Duplica's first [[VoluntaryShapeshifter Ditto]] can't change its face. While this is treated as odd in the anime and non-existent in the main series video games (outside of the Pokedex noting that Ditto will get details wrong if they try to go off memory), spin-offs and toys will use this trait. The second one she gets qualifies after a fashion: being a smaller Ditto (and thus labeled "Mini-Dit"), it can only turn into miniature versions of other Pokémon, although otherwise its transformations are perfect.

** "Double Dipper" is about Dipper using a photocopier that acts like a cloning machine on himself. Just about all of his copies are virtually the same as him, save for the hat symbol. But at one point, the copier gets a paper jam, resulting in the [[{{Gonk}} deformed]] and [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]] Paper Jam Dipper.

** In "The Day the Violence Died", Bart and Lisa try to solve a problem and are beaten to it by two other kids named Lester and Eliza, who resemble their early incarnations from ''Series/TheTraceyUllmanShow''.
** In "Lemon of Troy", we see a number of Shelbyville residents looking like mirror-universe versions of Springfielders.
** In "Midnight Rx", Ned Flanders meets a knockoff of himself while in Canada. The two hit it off well until the Canadian offers him some "reef-a-rino".

** In "Lisa the Vegetarian", Homer notices Flanders hosting a family reunion in his backyard, and is introduced to Lord Thistlewick-Flanders, Flanders' aristocratic British cousin. He looks just like the rest of his family, but doesn't share their VerbalTic.
--->'''Thistlewick-Flanders:''' ''(to Homer)'' Charmed. ''(Ned nudges him in the side; Thistlewick-Flanders rolls his eyes in exasperation)'' Ehrm, "a-googeli... doodeli".

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Frankendoodle", [=SpongeBob=] finds a "magic pencil" (a live-action pencil an artist in a boat dropped overboard), and discovers that anything he draws with it comes to life. He draws a crude-looking copy of himself to help prank Squidward, but the copy, dubbed [=DoodleBob=], turns out to be violent and mean-spirited, and eventually tries a KillAndReplace on him. It also can't talk for some reason, except one line near the end, and only speaks in weird gibberish.

* ''VideoGame/AntonballDeluxe'': Anton and Annie have Danton and Nina, who use the opposite end of the color wheel for their outfits (green/purple/blue vs. Anton and Annie's green/red). Danton has a long, droopy mustache against Anton's full beard, while Nina has a pointy nose and short hair compared to Annie's small nose and bob cut. Anton has an additional doppelganger in Paul, who looks like a stiffer, blockier version of him with less wild hair.

* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' has Homsar (pictured above), who's stouter and pigeon-toed, and the unused character Homeschool Winner, who's lankier and has an overbite. Strong Bad also has Senor Cardgage (as well as several others, which takes up more than half of the webshow's cast).

** His ''VideoGame/NewgroundsRumble'' design by Mindchamber is tall, lanky, noseless, and has an UndeathlyPallor, which exaggerates elements of Mindchamber's skinnier redesign for Pico. His eyes are exaggerated into BlankWhiteEyes, and he's also given a purple t-shirt to contrast Pico's long-sleeved green shirt. Initially, Piconjo declared this version (dubbed "Buttchamber") an odball to himself -- specifically as one to either the stick figure or {{Hunk}} interpritations.

** His ''VideoGame/NewgroundsRumble'' design by Mindchamber is tall, lanky, noseless, and has an UndeathlyPallor, which exaggerates elements of Mindchamber's skinnier redesign for Pico. His eyes are exaggerated into BlankWhiteEyes, and he's also given a purple t-shirt to contrast Pico's long-sleeved green shirt.
** Piconjo's own redesign turns him into a hulking FrazettaMan that keeps the pale skin from Mindchamber's version, opposing the more reasonably-proportioned designs commonly given to Pico.

** [[spoiler:Fake Peppino]] appears as the boss of World 4. He looks almost like Peppino, save his taller height, his habit of nearly melting, and the flesh-colored balls he constantly emits. He's even fought in a pizzeria that looks like Peppino's own, but with all the text on the walls changed to gibberish.

* In ''VideoGame/PizzaTower'', [[spoiler:Fake Peppino]] appears as the boss of World 4. He looks almost like Peppino, save his taller height, his habit of nearly melting, and the flesh-colored balls he constantly emits. He's even fought in a pizzeria that looks like Peppino's own, but with all the text on the walls changed to gibberish.

** In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'', Mario has the character Weird Mario, a unsettlingly stretcged out version of Mario as he appeared in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' While he originates as a form Mario can take upon eating the Weird Mushroom, he also appears on his own: he answers the Warp Door in a variety of costumes if the player taps one enough times, and in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker2'''s Course World mode, he comes out to point at the player if they lose the baseball minigame.

* Wario and Waluigi (though more so in their earlier appearances) are still this to Mario and Luigi in ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' Wario is an exaggeration of Mario's features, with a fat body, stubby legs and zigzagging mustache. Originally a villain in his first appearances, he has since become more of a greedy [[TheRival rival]]. Likewise Waluigi is an exaggeration of Luigi's features: extremely tall and lanky with a smooth mustache. He was an UnknownRival to Luigi in his [[VideoGame/MarioTennis first appearance]] and easily [[BerserkButton angered]] by this but nowadays plays the role of the [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} black sheep oddball]] who loves to cheat at sports.

* ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'': One of the characters that can be encountered in [[spoiler:Black Space 2]] is Omoli, a monochrome Sprout Mole that shares Omori's hair style and color scheme. It,s constantly hungry and asks for money, and when given it, blips out of existence.

* ''VideoGame/{{Pico}}'': Piconjo, the grotesque AntiHero of his own side of the Portal, has three well-known designs that make him an oddball of Pico. Each one retains Pico's BlankWhiteEyes and spiky orange hair, but how they differ from him varies:

** His ''VideoGame/NewgroundsRumble'' design by Mindchamber is tall, lanky, noseless, and has an UndeathlyPallor, which exaggerates elements of Mindchamber's skinnier redesign for Pico. He's also given a purple t-shirt to contrast Pico's long-sleeved green shirt.

** His ''VideoGame/NewgroundsRumble'' design by Mindchamber is tall, lanky, noseless, and has an UndeathlyPallor, unlike Mindchamber's previous redesign for Pico, which was shorter and more childish. He's also given a purple t-shirt to contrast Pico's long-sleeved green shirt.

** [[{{Gonk}} Duval]], who happens to looks exactly like Sanji...'s [[FacialCompositeFailure horribly drawn wanted poster]]. The fact that a [[ContrivedCoincidence coincidence like this could happen]] astounds some of the main characters. Thankfully for both parties, Sanji kicked Duval pretty, and looks very handsome and nothing like sanji, save for the blonde hair and swirly eyebrow.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays'' gives us the Monday family, the Saturdays' evil alternate reality clones. Each of them is identical to their good counterpart save some small detail.

* Bunny from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', the girls' ill-fated attempted at making a new sister. Same dress design, has a B name, and like the others has her own design color... but is also mentally handicapped and is very physically deformed.

** Kitsunami, a.k.a. Kit, is a fennec fox with a backpack that lets him generate prehensile tails made of water, evoking the mythical {{kitsune}} that Tails was also inspired by. Personality-wise, he ramps up Tails' hero worship and shyness to the point of being a ShrinkingViolet, rarely ever speaking out of fear of being reprimanded by Surge, yet placing her safety above his own.

* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' has Homsar (pictured above), who's stouter and pigeon-toed, and the unused character Homeschool Winner, who's lankier and has an overbite. Strong Bad also has Senor Cardgage (as well as several others, which takes up more than half of the webshow's LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters).
