This is best asked at Trope Finder. Still, I don't know what it would be called myself. Maybe if you search for doppelganger you'll find some tropes that share an index with it, if it exists.

Is there a trope for replacing yourself with a fake? Like having a stand-in cardboard cutout, or a dummy in place of the person? I can think of several tv shows where that's used, and it's a gag that somebody doesn't realize that's a phony version of the guy. If this is already a trope, I don't know what it's named.
