=== ''The Human Duplicators'' provides examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[The Chick]]: We got two of 'em: Lisa the blind chick and Hugh's secretary.
* [[Cloning Blues]]: They're androids, not clones, but they still get a bit of this.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Moonraker (Film)|Jaws]] was really an alien!
** Not forgetting [[Leave It to Beaver|Hugh]] [[Lost Continent|Beaumont]].
** And George Nader also featured in the first season's ''[[Robot Monster]]''.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]
* [[Immune to Bullets]]: the androids
** [[Death Byby Falling Over]]: also androids
* [[The Mole]]: The androids' raison d'etre, for purposes of gathering sensitive information and/or supplies.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Hugh Beaumont is pretty darn grouchy in this movie.
* [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: Kolos {{spoiler|is an android}}. What makes it all the dumber is that this reveal comes in the film's closing seconds, giving it zero impact (if you're feeling generous, you could say it helps explain Richard Kiel's [[The Stoic|wooden acting]]).
** To be fair, he didn't know himself til that moment.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: The androids are vulnerable to a [[Tap Onon the Head]].
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]? What happened to the guy who looks like the young Jack Palance?
