Clone High

Clone High

Clone High (occasionally referred to in the U.S. as Clone High U.S.A.) is a Canadian–American adult animated television series created by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Bill Lawrence. The comedy centers on a high school populated by the clones of famous historical figures. The show's central cast includes adolescent depictions of Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Mahatma Gandhi, John F. Kennedy, and Cleopatra. The series also serves as a parody of teen dramas; every episode is introduced as a "very special episode". Lord and Miller first developed the series' concept while at Dartmouth College in the 1990s, later pitching it to executives at American network Fox Broadcasting Company, who ultimately decided to pass on the program. It was later purchased by cable channel MTV, and was produced between 2002–03. The show's design is heavily stylized and its animation style limited, emphasizing humor and story over visuals. The Clone High theme song was written by Tommy Walter and performed by his alternative rock band Abandoned Pools, who also provided much of the series' background music. Clone High first aired in its entirety on Canadian cable network Teletoon between 2002 and 2003, later debuting on MTV. It became embroiled in a controversy regarding its depiction of Gandhi soon afterward, which prompted hundreds in India to mount a hunger strike in response. Shortly after, MTV pulled the series, which had been receiving low ratings. Clone High attracted mixed reviews from television critics upon its premiere, but it has since received critical acclaim and a cult following.

Scudworth:
[looking into a periscope in his office at Joan and Abe] Young, unsuspecting clones. Little do they know... I control them!

Scudworth:
[raises the periscope, which reveals Scudworth's head, wearing a folded paper pirate hat] The greatest minds the world has ever known! For what is more powerful than a high school PRINCIPAL?

Shadowy Figure:
[voice from the shadows] Doctor Scudworth!

Shadowy Figure:
[Scudworth yelps, as the man steps out of the shadows] I'm sorry to disturb you but there's growing concern among the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures that you may be... completely insane.

Scudworth:
Blasphemy! [Scudworth slowly removes his pirate hat and places it in a drawer marked Pirate Hats. He smiles at the Shadowy Figure]

Shadowy Figure:
Yeah well you do have a robotic butler named Mr. Butlertron.

Mr. Butlertron:
[Mr. Butlertron enters, carrying a tray] Anyone for scooooones?

Scudworth:
[Takes a scone] Why creating a mechanical British servant is no more eccentric than that tie you're wearing!

Mr. Butlertron:
[Shadowy Figure looks down. He's not wearing a tie. Mr. Butlertron's tray reemerges, carrying a tea pot and a cup] More tea, Wesley?

Scudworth:
He calls everyone Wesley. Don't know why.

Shadowy Figure:
Yeah that's facinating. But we're paying you to monitor these clones as closely as possible, so if you wanna keep your job, you can either write a report proving you know what it's like to be a student at Clone High...

Scudworth:
[Interrupting] I'll do no such thing!

Shadowy Figure:
-Or I'll kill you.

Scudworth:
[Typing on the computer] I'll title it, What It's Like to Be a Teenage Clone, colon, A Rope of Sand.

Mr. Butlertron:
[Mr. Butlertron enters scene] Good title, it draws the reader in without giving too much away.

Mr. Butlertron:
[Long pause] Wesleeeey.
