Reasons why this trope needs to go to the Trope Repair Shop
It has an Example as a Thesis type of description.
It's essentially Jekyll & Hyde Played for Laughs plus a Duo of characters with The Fool consuming a weird serum and turning into Mr. Hyde without the other character being the wiser. Discussion is needed to determine whether it's The Same, but More Specific. Since it's not thriving, it might be Too Rare to Trope.
Its Troperithmetic entry combines so many tropes that it might reinforce this latter point: The Fool + Involuntary Shapeshifting + Poor Communication Kills + Cloudcuckoolander's Minder + Missed Him by That Much = Hyde And Seek
Also, after removing the examples that don't fit the description, there's a grand total of seven examples, five of which are from cartoons produced by the same person, Friz Freleng.
