"Film Fest: Tears of a Clone"

Film Fest: Tears of a Clone is an episode of Clone High, originally aired on 17 November 2002. The episode revolves around a film festival at Clone High.


Plot

Template:Spoiler After Clone High wins a cross-country meet (the N*Sync concert was moved to the nurses office), the clones goes on a massive looting rampage, with an inexplicable focus on books.

Prof. Sheepman becomes a care-iff (like a sheriff) in an attempt to get the teens to let out their emotions to prevent another riot. Abe volunteers to organize a film contest to that effect.

Meanwhile, the riot causes the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures to question Scudworth's leadership. While in teleconference, Scudworth alludes to his own plans for the clones. The Board proposes that they meet in person, for dinner at Scudworth's house. To prepare, Scudworth and Mr. Butlertron go on a shopping spree to remodel Scudworth's house which hasn't been decorated since he graduated from ASU.

Gandhi and George Washington Carver team up to make a parody of inter-racial cop films called "Black and Tan" (starring Gandhi as Tandori Jones). Carver agrees when Gandhi tells him there is a part for Peanut, but the two get in a dispute over the line "say what!?" and Carver ends up rewriting his character.

JFK uses the editing room couch for "tryouts," in a parody of the ending of What's Up Tiger Lily.

Cleo's is an autobiography titled: "The best of the best of the best of the best of the best," directed by Ang Lee (referred to only as Ang). However, Cleo's film is destroyed by Thomas Edison's coal power projector.

Abe convinces Joan to make a movie to express her feelings. She employs Genghis Khan to make a film which she trashes when Abe tells her that he considers her just a friend. Abe retrieves the film from the trash and plays it at the festival despite Joan's objection. Only Sigmund Freud is able to figure out the meaning of "The Truth Wears Sideburns."

Mother Teresa directs a "teen-slasher-sex-romp".

Abe makes a movie about a giraffe who plays football (which features the line, "There's nothing in the rule book that says a giraffe can't play football") titled "It Takes a Hero". At the end of the movie, the giraffe kicks a field goal to win a game 13-12 and is beamed up by a spaceship to go "home" leaving a pregnant girl behind.

Meanwhile, Scudworth leaves Mr. B in the kitchen during his dinner with the Board. Seeing Scudworth bomb, Mr. B intervenes at the last minute. Amused by Mr. B, the Board, who had come to kill Scudworth, decide to give him another chance.

Ironically, the film fest starts another riot. The episode ends with Abe telling Joan that his film had a hidden meaning - that giraffe represented himself. Joan asks who the pregnant girl represented, and Abe naturally ignores the question.

Trivia

  • During the first riot: van Gogh breaks into the library and everyone steals books; a cheerleader is thrown into the air and through an upper story window; Caesar breaks into the A/V room and steals more books; a car is flipped and Ghandi drinks oil out of the car’s muffler; Genghis Khan flips the pool and sets it on fire; and JFK steals a sheet of glass and uses it to destroy a brick wall.
  • Scudworth’s subplot, being a fairly typical sitcom plot, features a laugh track.
  • In his apartment, Scudworth has a poster for a film called Reserved Dogs, an obvious reference to the film Reservoir Dogs. He also has a poster for the band Phish.
