Principal Scudworth

Dr. Cinnamon J. Scudworth is the main antagonist of Clone High. He is a mad scientist who created all the clones of historic figures and made them high school teenagers. He now works as the principal of Clone High High School, employed by The Secret Board of Shadowy Figures. He is voiced by Phil Lord.

Biography[]

Childhood[]

Cinnamon J. Scudworth was born to unnamed wealthy parents, Mr. and Mrs. Scudworth, at an unknown date, though its estimated to be sometime in the 1950's-60's. His parents were incredibly abusive and aloof toward him, never exhibiting any love or affection for him (not even so much as giving him a warm hug).

Mr. & Mrs. Scudworth were also known grifters, as the family's main source of income was scamming people out of their money. A big part of Scudworth's childhood was pretending to be homeless and crippled so that his parents could beg for money from the generous strangers that passed them by. A good panhandling spot was the parking lot of Yesterworld, a historical-themed carnival that Scudworth was interested in going to. However, his parents never let him go there, as they refused to spend any of their riches on anyone besides themselves.

One day, Mr. & Mrs. Scudworth died in a freak accident involving a banana peel on the edge of the Grand Canyon. After attending his parents' joint funeral, Cinnamon Scudworth immediately left in excitement to go to Yesterworld theme park, which he was allowed to do now as an unaccompanied minor. He also had the added benefit of getting a "dead parents" discount when he got in. However, an unaware Scudworth was disappointed to see just how cheap and lifeless the theme park was, with its subpar animatronics of historical figures and falsely advertised "foot-long hot dogs", which were not as long as advertised. This experience with a poorly-done historical theme park inspired Principal Scudworth to make his own historical theme park (tentatively titled "Cloney Island"), which became his life-long dream.

Snorkeling Career[]

In the 1960's, as a young adult, Scudworth took up a passion for professional snorkeling. He trained with his coach, Schneider Snorkelle to get into the Olympics. For a while, Scudworth was hailed as a world famous gold-medal-winning snorkeler, until one fateful day in 1965 when he blew it all on the night of the National Snorkeling Invitational in Big City, U.S.A.. Scudworth ate a meal consisting of a big, juicy steak less than 30 minutes before going swimming, under the belief that the meal would not affect him. When Scudworth went snorkeling for the big game, he suffered from type-1 tummy cramps and came in dead last for the snorkeling championship, bringing shame to himself and his country. After this, Scudworth retired from the snorkeling game altogether, and did not return aside from a brief tenure coaching Frida Kahlo in "Don't You Get It? Sports Are Huge in This Town".

College Years[]

Cinnamon Scudworth attended U Mad Exclamation, where he met fellow scientist, Sandra Sandria. The two of them fell in love over their shared interests in building theme parks. While Scudworth had his vision for Cloney Island, Sandria had Texasland, a Texas-themed amusement park.

The two of them dated for a while until Scudworth told Sandria that he'd saved up enough money to make Cloney Island. An argument broke out between the two of them over whether they should build Cloney Island or Texasland with their money, leading to them breaking up. After they broke up, Sandria stole all of Scudworth's money and ran off with it.

In "Film Fest: Tears of a Clone", Scudworth claimed that he attended Arizona State University. It is very likely that he attended this institution before he went to U Mad Exclamation.

Young Adulthood[]

In the 1980's, Cinnamon Scudworth got a job working for a governmental organization known as The Secret Board of Shadowy Figures. Their goal was to make clones of famous people in history and turn them into an army of super soldiers who would one day take over the world, in a plan they called "Operation Spread Eagle".

Scudworth agreed to help them with their plan and dig up these historical figures so that he could make these clones. Unbeknownst to the Shadowy Figures, Principal Scudworth was secretly planning to steal the clones away from them and instead use them as theme park attractions for Cloney Island.

Sometime in the mid-1980s, Cinnamon J. Scudworth saw a robot on TV named Mr. Butlertron, who was starring as a character in a sitcom. He recognized Butlertron as the last remaining robot of his kind, as all of the others were destroyed in the Ford Administation. Scudworth broke into Mr. Butlertron's house and requested his help with making clones of historical figures, as he was the only technology able to do so. Although put off by this man at first, Mr. Butlertron agreed to do this as long as Scudworth would help him in return and make a clone of his deceased brother, Wesley Nestle. From then on, Principal Scudworth and Mr. Butlertron dug up an innumerable amount of corpses and used their DNA to make an entire community of genetic clones.

Current Life[]

Currently, the clones are all teenagers in a high school called "Clone High High School", run by Cinnamon Scudworth as their principal and Mr. Butlertron as the vice principal. During this time, The Secret Board of Shadowy Figures would regularly get on Principal Scudworth's case about his unorthodox teaching methods and suspicious behavior and give him several orders to follow, which if not complied with, would lead to them killing him.

Appearance[]

Scudworth is seen with thinning brown hair with bald spots on the sides and a pointy soul-patch goatee combo. He wears glasses, a white lab coat, and a blue dress shirt with a navy tie matched with black pants and shoes. He is always wearing yellow rubber gloves. In the reboot, he now has poliosis (a white/gray streak) in his lower hairline, running just above his glasses. Principal Scudworth also has incredibly large nipples, a quirk that is often played for comedy. He also has a tattoo of the first 32 digits of pi on his buttcheeks in blue ink.

Personality[]

Scudworth is best described as being eccentric, as well as insensitive to others and emotionally detached from everyone else around him. He appears to be a narcissist and is very arrogant of himself and abilities, often dismissing whatever doubts he has. He is very sensitive and easily offended. It is never really clear whether Scudworth really is a scientific genius or just a "basket case" as his intelligence has been subject to debate in the TV series. He is shown to be mentally unstable and prone to having meltdowns, indicated by his freakout in "Changes: The Big Prom: The Sex Romp: The Season Finale".

Trivia[]

• His name is a reference to the Scud Missile, a series of ballistic warheads used by Saddam Hussein in Operation: Desert Storm.
• Principal Scudworth is a fan of Jay Leno.
• In "Film Fest: Tears of a Clone", Principal Scudworth claimed that he attended Arizona State University in college. However, in "Cloney Island: Twist!", a flashback showed him going to a college called "U Mad Exclamation".
• He had a son named Brian, but lost him in a bet to Colonel Principal, who then ate him, as seen in "Homecoming: A Shot in D'Arc".
• He has arthritis, as mentioned in "Clone Alone".
• There is a plothole regarding how Scudworth met Mr. Butlertron. In the theme song, a photo of Principal Scudworth and Mr. Butlertron digging up the grave of Abraham Lincoln is shown. Ostensibly, the two are digging up his grave in order to acquire his DNA. However, in "For Your Consideration", Principal Scudworth met Mr. Butlertron for the first time and showed him a bunch of test tubes filled with the fetuses of his clones, one of which was Abe Lincoln, meaning he had already cloned him before even meeting Mr. Butlertron.
• As revealed in "Cloney Island: Twist!", Principal Scudworth and fellow scientist, Sandra Sandria have matching tattoos of pi on their buttcheeks, reading "π=3.1415926535897932384626433832795". They claimed that they stopped at "69" because of the significance behind said number ... Dr. Denton Cooley performed the first successful artificial heart transplant on April 4th, 1969.
  • Despite what Scudworth and Sandria said, the numbers do not stop at 69, as they would still have 11 more digits to go before they reached that.
