In the episode "Kimitation Nation" Shego is saying: "again with the cloning" when Dr. Drakken wants to clone her. When I first saw this episode I thought, that there was an episode with some clones, cloning or semthing like that. Off course I was wrong ;) And still I don't know why is Shego saying "again with the cloning" when Drakken has no used clones before ??? Or maybe he has ???

Well, Drakk tends to repeat himself, and to fixate on certain ideas like size changing, the pan dimensional vortex inducer, etc -shrugs- or just chalk it up to a pointless one shot joke by lazy writers

a pointless one shot joke by lazy writers That's a bit harsh... Presumably, he's tried cloning a few times before, but they just happened off-screen. Maybe they fell apart, or turned into a headache for Drakken and Shego without Kim getting involved. Alternatively, maybe she's hostile to the idea of making copies of herself, which is understandable, and she's just sick of him going on and on about it.

I just figured Drakken had brought up the idea before, and Shego would be understandably creeped out by the idea of being cloned, like in the second half of this chapter of Ninnik's 'Maslow'. Hey, look, I did that 'turn a word into a link' thing. ;D

Well, I figure that he's obviously at least brought it up before, and-- judging from Shego's exasperation-- more than once.
But I also feel that, given the fact that even in the early episodes of KP, it was clear from their interaction and Drakken's 'Shego failed? But Shego's never failed me before!" (I hope that's close to the exact quote-- does anybody remember which episode it was?) comment that they'd already been working together for a good while before they ever meet KP, so there's a good chance that Drakken's tried cloning before, yes.
There was of course also the subtle hint in the Lilo and Stitch crossover episode, implying that he has indeed made clones before, and that it was what gave him his scar, but uh-- not sure how 'canon' that crossover really is. XD

She does have a no cloning clause in her contract, which would support this. Assuming the contract hasn't been renegotiated, then there'd be no previous attempts at cloning her. Just nagging. Also not pointless, as it explains why they never do this to tip the odds in their favor. Builds character too. There was of course also the subtle hint in the Lilo and Stitch crossover episode, implying that he has indeed made clones before, and that it was what gave him his scar What hint?

Shego wasnt never failed before Tick Tick Tick. I quess thats the episode you are meaning,Ninnik Nishukan .
Also at the first touch with the Bebes at "Attack of the Killer Bebes" I quess Drakken might have got the idea as was it Ramesh who said something like "he cant never do well with the robots,maybe he should have tried the cloning".
I also think that Drakken might have been cloning Shego as a first test to see how it works,ofcourse without saying to her. Then Shego has gone just mad,probably even left and contract has been redone. Just my wild imagination ofcourse but thats the way how I think it could have gone.

I personally think that Dr. Drakken must have done somethin with the cloning before "Tick Tick Tick". A typical evil mad scientist will always try to clone people So why should Dr. Drakken be different. So if "Kimtation Nation" is the second try with cloning, so its mean that the first one was also a disaster.

Doesn't nessicerally mean Drakken has cloned anything before. Just that he's been nagging Shego about it a lot. (I hope that's close to the exact quote-- does anybody remember which episode it was?) First Faliure = First time encountering Kim. Meaning it would have to be Tick Tick Tick.

Considering that Drakken was able to make clones quickly and efficiently, it only stands to reason that the technology was something he'd previously been working on. Along with research and experimentation comes failure, so it's really not much of a stretch that this was not his first attempt at cloning. Also, when you take into account Drakken's batting average and his propensity for failure, it's not too hard to believe that he has failed at the cloning thing before, thus Shego's comment is pretty soundly based.
I mean, these characters obviously have a backstory, even if we don't know what these stories are.

good posts down there. Also Drakken can go quite extreme with the tests as we saw at the whole serie. Lets take the "Twin factor" where he was able to get Shego and Kim under mind control and thats for sure has been harder than getting a few hairs of Shego.

He just wants a full on army of Shego's, but its a bad idea cos he has enough trouble trying to handle one Shego, if he had loads he'd collapse under the mocking
