Summary
Jimmy's Chores.
When Jimmy is ready to go to into space to get some rare ice crystals to make the perfect freeze ray, but Judy stops him by saying that he has to do chores:
- Mail a letter at post office
- Sit with Grandma on the park
- Pick up Dad's badmiton shoes
- Drop off a pie at school
- Pick up a book and give it to Cindy Vortex's mother
Unfortunately, Jimmy has to get into space now, but Goddard gets an idea to clone Jimmy! Jimmy thinks it's a great idea, and does it, and six clones come out of the cloning machine: sunglasses-clad Cool Jimmy, devil-haired Evil Jimmy, positive Happy Jimmy, negative Gloomy Jimmy (with a frowny face on his shirt), French accented Romance Jimmy, and funny-man Funny Jimmy.
Jimmy notices that he rushed the cloning and considers doing a risk assessment, but he foolishly changes his mind. Jimmy goes into space, but his clones are not as bright as they seem.
The chore with Grandma Neutron is done by Happy Jimmy. Grandma says that the bench was too hard, the birds were around her were too close, and the sun was in her eyes, but Happy Jimmy thought it was great as the birds landed on his arms and he smiled at the sun, which makes Grandma confused.
Gloomy Jimmy is doing the chore with the post office, but he gets his hand stuck in the mailbox; Carl comes walking by, tells Gloomy Jimmy that he has to do a report on snails or Napoleon, and asks for help, but Gloomy Jimmy says there was no point in doing homework because everyone is just "Dust in the wind", which leaves Carl upset.
Cool Jimmy is doing the badmition shoes chore, but on the way, he bumps into Nick, and asks if he could ride on his skateboard for a minute. Cool Jimmy does cool tricks on the skateboard, which impresses Nick, except Cool Jimmy accidentally breaks it, which makes Nick angry.
Later in space, Jimmy is doing good at collecting ice crystals along with Goddard, and wonders about his clones.
Back in Retroville, Sheen is playing with his brand new Ultra Lord toys, but Funny Jimmy arrives and tells jokes about Ultra Lord, which doesn't make Sheen laugh and makes him upset instead.
Romantic Jimmy takes the book to Cindy's mother, but she's there, and Cindy answers the door instead. Romantic Jimmy sings a song, which makes Cindy faint.
Evil Jimmy is doing the pie chore, except he sees someone, and asks him if he wanted the pie, he says yes, but Evil Jimmy throws the pie in his face as Evil Jimmy says "You can't beat the classics!"
The real Jimmy comes back to Retroville and sees everyone at his house! Hugh then asks everyone what Jimmy did. Nick says that he busted his skateboard (Cool Jimmy), Carl says that he said he was gonna be dusted in the wind (Gloomy Jimmy), Grandma Neutron says that he made her dentures fell out (Happy Jimmy), Sheen says that he made fun of Ultra Lord (Funny Jimmy), Cindy lies by saying that he threatened her (Romantic Jimmy) and the pie guy said that he threw a pie in his face (Evil Jimmy). Hugh tells the mob he's sure his son has a good reason for doing all these weird, admittedly, bizarre and out of character mishaps.
Jimmy and Goddard go to find the clones; they find them, except, Evil Jimmy is missing. The clones decide to help Jimmy find him, who was switching the bathroom signs of a building. Jimmy and the clones find Evil Jimmy, but he tries to escape. While looking for him, Evil Jimmy somehow unknowningly changes his face and hair to look like Jimmy, which leaves the clones confused. The clones think that Evil Jimmy is the real Jimmy, which leaves Jimmy no choice, but to battle Evil Jimmy to see who's the real Jimmy. The two Jimmys get in a verbal battle, each trying to convince the clones that they are the real one. The clones still think that Evil Jimmy is the real Jimmy, so sadly, Jimmy has no choice but to freeze the clones by using a big wave of ice which freezes into a big ice cube! It works, except Jimmy loses his perfect freeze ray, but he's happy since he can get those clones back to the lab but...he's missing one!
Evil Jimmy somehow steals Jimmy's jetpack, and uses it to escape before Jimmy's friends, Grandma and the pie guy except for Judy and Hugh see him, but Jimmy explains after 4 hours and Jimmy's name is cleared. Nick asks if Jimmy caught all of them, but Evil Jimmy shows up, with everybody saying "Neutron!", which leaves everybody chasing Jimmy and Goddard (even though Jimmy and Goddard did nothing wrong), with Evil Jimmy throwing a pie at the screen, foreshadowing his next appearance and the episode ends.

Time Cards

Trivia
- The slow motion scene where Jimmy's clones are walking down the street is a reference to the opening scene from the famous movie 'Reservoir Dogs'.
- This is the only time Carl and Sheen get upset at Jimmy, even though Jimmy never did anything wrong.
- Fourth Wall Breaks:
- When Romantic Jimmy is approaching Cindy's walk-way, he turns, looks at the camera and raises his eyebrows.
- When Evil Jimmy throws a pie at the man and they smile at the audience.
- At the end when Evil Jimmy throws a pie at the screen.
- Funny Jimmy says "Thats all folks!" which is Porky Pig's catchphrase from Looney Tunes.
- This is one of the few episodes to include a time card.
- At the end of the episode, Evil Jimmy shouts "Here's Jimmy!" This is a clear reference to The Shining in which the character shouts "Here's Johnny!"
- The clones are voiced by Jeff Bennett and Rob Paulsen.
- Evil Jimmy returns in The Trouble with Clones.
Goofs
- Judy's list for Jimmy only had five chores, yet he created six clones. This means one clone had nothing to do. Maybe the Comedy Jimmy didn't have anything to do.
- Carl, Sheen, Cindy, Granny and Nick should've been able to tell the clones weren't the real Jimmy.
- As Jimmy, Goddard and five clone shows up as Evil Jimmy said" Well, well, well, if it isn't Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Goddard and Jimmy". He just missed saying one of the Jimmys.
