Gutierrez returns (though now with cybernetic implants on the left side of his head due to their previous encounter).

* CharacterCatchphrase: Hero Boy is constantly shouting, "I must succeed!"
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: After the commercial break, Guitierrez is showing off the Freaka-Clone, while Freakazoid is eating a sandwich made by Jocko.
-->'''Guitierrez:''' Magnificent, is it not?\\
'''Freakazoid:''' It's delicious.\\
'''Guitierrez:''' Not the sandwich!
* EurekaMoment: Freakazoid boasting that the Freaka-Clone failed because it lacked his unique personality is what gives Guitierrez the idea to create a new clone by using his brain.
* EvilTwin: Guitierrez’s Freaka-Clone.

-->'''Guitierrez:''' [[YouExclamation YOU!]] ''You'' did this!\\
'''Freakazoid:''' You told me to “think happy thoughts”, so I thought about my favorite TV show.
* FailureHero: Hero Boy consistently fails to save the day, with the episode Freakazoid is watching showing a rampaging monster effortlessly knocking him away. The only thing he manages to do is make observers laugh at him for his failures.
* {{Flashback}}: When talking about getting revenge against Freakazoid, Guitierrez shows a clip of [[Recap/FreakazoidSeason1Episode13 their last encounter]].
* TheGadfly: Guitierrez notes that Freakazoid has a knack for driving him crazy.
* InTheHood: Guitierrez is this for much of the episode, and it completely blacks out half of his face. Before the brain transfer, he takes it off to reveal that half of his face now looks like a computer motherboard. He says this was the result of his last encounter with Freakazoid.
* IronicEcho: After all the times Guitierrez laughed in this episode, Freakazoid openly laughs at him when the the Freaka-Clone's nature is revealed to the public.
* KarmaHoudini: Subverted. Guitierrez escapes by stealing the Freakmobile, but Freakazoid tells Cosgrove that he's still going to get what he deserves. We then see Guitierrez being infuriated by the Gas & Go crew's song.
* LaughWithMe: The TropeNamer is at it again, and this time he has accompaniment.
-->'''Guitierrez:''' Laugh with me, Jocko! Laugh with me!\\

* OutOfCharacterAlert: How Cosgrove figures out and convinces everyone else that the Freaka-Clone isn’t the real deal.
-->'''Cosgrove:''' I'm Sgt. Mike Cosgrove. How y'all doing? We now have reason to believe that the Freakazoid loose in the city is a clone.\\
'''Freakazoid:''' Yes!\\
'''Guitierrez:''' No!\\
'''Reporter:''' What makes you think he's a clone?\\
'''Cosgrove:''' Because I invited him to the Yakov Smirnoff film festival, and he said, "No".\\
'''Everyone:''' CLONE!
* SkewedPriorities \ TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: Freakazoid is more interested in the delicious sandwich that Jocko made him than the Freaka-Clone that Guitierrez is trying to show off. How much of this is a genuine example or Freakazoid messing with Guitierrez is unclear, but Guitierrez is nonetheless frustrated.
* TakeThat: According to Guitierrez, Jocko behaves so weirdly because he used to work for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Knight Bobby Knight]].
* TooDumbToLive: How Freakazoid becomes trapped in a cage.
-->'''Freakazoid:''' Dumb, dumb, dumb! Never tell the villain how to trap you in a cage!\\
'''Guitierrez:''' You probably shouldn't have helped us build it, either.\\
'''Freakazoid:''' I know! Dumb!
* WhamShot: Guitierrez introducing Freakazoid to the Freaka-Clone.
* YouExclamation: Guitierrez when yelling at Freakazoid for creating clones of Hero Boy.
