* ''[[Men in Black (animation)|Men in Black]]: The Series'' plays this [[Played for Laughs|for comedy value]] with the Quick-Clones, which are explicitly expendable clones, meant for short-term uses, and even if they aren't killed, melt into goo after a certain amount of time.

Marge and the remaining Homer are relaxing in bed when she discovers... he doesn't have a belly button!! Marge: "Then the real Homer was..." Clone Homer: "First off cliff."}}
