Similar Squad	comment	The cast runs into another group that is functionally identical to them. The same number of people, the same roles represented, maybe even the same tastes in clothes or food but expect a Palette Swap or an Alternate Species Counterpart. Usually creeps out the original group a lot, although a common humor variant is that no one notices the similarities. Or only notices the similarities to everyone else's parallel but not their own. If the characters find their counterparts' habits annoying, without noticing any similarities, this can lead to Hypocritical Humor. Sometimes it is Self-Parody. There are examples of a couple meeting another couple who are a timeshifted version of themselves. If younger, they reminisce about the start of their courtship, sometimes fighting about "what happened to us?" If older, they'll fight about how to avoid an unpleasant fate. Compare The Psycho Rangers, where the other squad are the evil versions. Those baddies are often recruited or created specifically to oppose our heroes, the standard Similar Squad just happens to resemble the main cast. Often related or contributes to Geodesic Cast if the new group sticks around. See also Expy Coexistence.

Similar Squad / int_1c8a8fa1	comment	Transformers: Wings of Honor has this in the form of Thunderclash and Metalhawk's Elite Guard squads, who both seem to be slightly different takes on the same four archetypes. The two squads have a friendly rivalry going on as a result. Thunderclash and Metalhawk are both The Captain, with Thunderclash being a strict Officer and a Gentleman disciplinarian while Metalhawk is a bit more laid-back and Big Brother Mentor-ish. Both of them were also the first American roles for Autobot leader characters whose original toys were never sold in the US. Landshark and Over-Run are the quirky pilots. Landshark is a Plucky Comic Relief Captain Crash, and Over-Run is a better pilot but a Small Name, Big Ego type overall. Kup and Dion are the New Meat. Both are kind of young whippersnapper types, but Kup is a slightly more straitlaced Wide-Eyed Idealist while Dion is Hot-Blooded. Finally, Flak and Ironfist are The Big Guy / More Dakka types. Flak runs on the thought that you can never have enough weapons installed, while Ironfist loves bombs, the bigger the better.

Similar Squad / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In an episode, Bart and Lisa figure out how to bring back Itchy and Scratchy but are beaten to the punch by "Lester and Eliza".note Doubles as a Mythology Gag as "Lester and Eliza" share the same character design Bart and Lisa had in The Tracey Ullman Show shorts. An early episode family goes for counseling and encounters a happier family that looks a lot like them in the waiting room.note Which also shared the same character design the family had in The Tracey Ullman Show shorts. If the "Lemon of Troy" episode is anything to go on, Shelbyville is a full-on copy of Springfield, with counterparts to many of its major citizens and points of interest. The only difference is that they are slightly more deranged — and they're fine with Kissing Cousins. Also subverted in "You Only Move Twice"; when Bart first goes to school in Cypress Creek, he briefly meets a Milhouse-like boy ("Hey, Bart, do you have a best friend yet? 'Cause I've been looking for someone to boss me around"). However, Bart is moved to remedial class before more interactions between the two could take place. A gag of this sort made it into The Movie, Bart scribbled a Paper-Thin Disguise onto a wanted poster depicting his family. Moments later, a family who looks exactly like the newly tampered photo are arrested on the spot. "Homer? Who is Homer? My name is Guy Incognito!" In "The Crepes of Wrath," Bart goes to France in a student exchange program while foreign student Aldi stays with the Simpsons. The scene of Bart's family saying goodbye to him at the airport is immediately followed up by Aldi's familyâ€”parents, a sister, and a babyâ€”saying goodbye to him in Albania. Though all the dialogue is in Albanian, they go through the same motions the Simpsons went through in a way that makes it clear they're having the same conversation. One of the Tracey Ullman shorts, "Zoo Story," has the family going to the zoo and watching a similar family of monkeys. Bart bonds with the Bart-like monkey and winds up staying with the monkeys while the Bart-monkey rides home with the Simpsons in their car. In "The Italian Bob," the Simpsons find a dead Similar Squad when they visit Pompeii and stumble on plaster casts of a family consisting of a heavyset father strangling a slingshot-wielding brat in one hand and drinking from a bottle with the other, while looking on are a horrified daughter and a big-haired, baby-holding matriarch wagging a finger. In "Smoke on the Daughter," Homer and Bart attempt to trap two raccoons who are stealing homemade jerky from their basement. The two raccoons, an adult and a juvenile, humorously resemble Homer and Bart themselves. Homer has a change of heart and decides to befriend the raccoons when he hunts them to their burrow and realizes they're just feeding their family, a second pair of raccoons resembling Marge and Lisa.

Both Jet and Dr. Bergs are jovial and comedic. They both love pastries and tend to be the most overdramatic of their respective groups. We eventually learn that Dr. Bergs is the descendant of astronomer pioneer Lone Star, who Jet always portrays when Sydney tells tales about Lone Star. However, unlike Jet, Dr. Bergs is not the leader of the DSA scientists. Sean and Dr. Rafferty have Shared Family Quirks, namely them being the most nervous of their respective teams. Like his mother, Sean is fairly intelligent and level-headed. Sydney is the peacekeeper and pretty much the 'parent' of the team whenever they do foolish things. Dr. Skelley is easily the most level-headed of the DSA scientists, as she always offers a clear plan of what to do next, as does Sydney. What's more, they have a shared love of engineering and Commander Cressida comics. Mindy is a direct reflection of Mr. Peterson. Both have brown hair and outfits with warm colors. They both are very self-centered and proud, but are also the oddballs in their respective groups: Mr. Peterson does not have a doctorate (hence why he's called Mr. and not Dr.), and Mindy is the youngest of the kids. Coincidentally, Mindy has a crush on Mr. Peterson's son Mitchell.

Similar Squad / int_53a824b5	comment	Shinobi of the High Seas: This exists (with some twists) between the Foxhound and Straw Hat Pirates. Naruto and Luffy being Shonen protagonists, it would probably be easier to count their differences. Naruto also acts as something of a Gadgeteer Genius in the vein of Usopp or Franky, at least as far as supplying weapons for his crew and design ideas for his ship are concerned. Nojiko, besides being Nami's sister, shares her skills at navigation and her position as the de facto voice of reason in most circumstances. In her combat style, she's closer to Usopp with her marksmanship and variety of weapons. Soren, like Zoro, started as a pirate hunter (although not for the bounties), remains the undisputed second strongest on the crew, gains an incredibly high bounty placing him among the Supernovas, desires to defeat a specific member of the Shichibukai who defeated him in the past, and even shares his alcoholic and layabout tendencies. Positionally, Miss Valentine, like Sanji, is both the crew chef and the third strongest by a good margin. Story-wise, she has more in common with Robin, both having served as Baroque Works officers, and both possessing a good knowledge of the underworld politics of the Grand Line, as well as sharing a fairly pragmatic, even ruthless, view of the world. Despite the shared backgrounds... Vivi is much closer to Robin. Both are fugitives from the world government, hunted by great powers due to circumstances beyond their control. Both tend towards calm reserve and level-headedness, with occasional displays of child-like humor and wonder contrasted with a strong sense of dignity, all overshadowed by an unshakable trust in the captain that rescued them. Paulie, like Franky, is a shipwright from water 7, with an ambition to build a ship that can sail the length of the grand line, and a strong perverted streak (although Paulie tries to mask it be complaining about shameless women). Byron, as with Brook, is a musician and former captain rescued from enslavement to one of the Shichibukai, and the last member to join the crew before the New World. Both also have Unfinished Business relating to their former crew.

The saloon heist is replayed shot-for-shot, with swords and arrows replacing guns and with a koto version of the music from the first season. Needless to say, the Westworld hosts are a bit weirded out.

The malevolent force of the episode then seriously injures the two, leading to the real Mulder and Scully investigating days later. They never notice the resemblance, but Mulder suspects the other two agents were in a relationship. During the revival, Mulder and Scully are approached by younger agents, a man who believes in the paranormal and his redheaded skeptic female partner. Tellingly, each ends up pairing with the other's "younger version" to keep the dynamics intact.

It's implied that Fry, Leela, and Bender are this in turn to the previous crew of the Planet Express who died attempting to harvest space honey. "MÃ¶bius Dick" shows that Farnsworth's first crew likewise followed the man/woman/robot configuration, although the man, obsessively dedicated captain Lando Tucker, is explicitly depicted as analogous to Leela while the woman, Candy, has a throwback style vaguely reminiscent of Fry.

Similar Squad / int_b8e5dfd9	comment	Disco Elysium: There's another pair of Noble Male, Roguish Male Buddy cops in the game - the muscled but dim Mack "The Torso" Torson and the slight but smart Chester McClane. They were intended to be the protagonists of the game in very early days, when it was going to be a much more pastichey buddy-cop game called Torson & McClane. Fuck The World and Pissf*t, two ineffectual wannabe gangsters who attempt to vandalise Kim's car without getting in trouble with the police, appear to be parallels of Harry and Kim. Like with Harry and Kim, Fuck The World is a bit more id-driven and silly, and Pissft is more officerial and restrained. Both of their names seem to reflect the philosophical sentiment of the police officers, as well. Fuck The World claims his name is a response to 'meaningless' true love by embracing reckless sex with all things ("Because when one fucks everything, he fucks nothing... sticking your dick into the void"), which fits how Harry's response to his heartbreak was to pursue a life of Death Seeker disco hedonism and nihilistic work overload. Pissft claims that, while he does like piss, his name is an artistic statement about reclaiming the contempt other people subject him to regardless of his actual nature ("things being defined as they seem, not as they are"); this parallels well with Kim's stoic endurance of the bigotry he experiences as a mixed race man who is a born, patriotic Vacholiere, and a gay man in a world where homosexuality is seen as a subversive underground movement. (Kim, if asked, will say he relates more to the "Pissf*t" sentiment, and that Harry is more of a "Fuck The World" kind of guy.) The player can have Harry ask them for their jackets so he and Kim can wear them, but Kim, a notorious spoilsport, will not play along unless you successfully convince him to do so in the Jamais Vu update by telling him how awesome the sight of two cops wearing those jackets would be, causing him to relent, but he only agrees to do so for as long as you wear one of the jackets yourself and after you take it off, he'll take his off and won't put it back on again. In the Communist Vision Quest in The Final Cut, Stefan and Ulixes might suggest that Harry and Kim are this to them, as they both are examples of the infra-materialist concept of "dÃ©comptage" (a principle of heirarchical organisation based on twos - invented by the revolutionary Communists who went on to found Revachol's police force). Of course, Harry and Kim don't really have a lot in common with Stefan and Ulixes. Harry and Kim are a dÃ©comptage because they are two police officers acting as partners, and Stefan and Ulixes are a dÃ©comptage because they chased away any members from their infra-materialist reading group who diverged from their (rather kooky) views until it was only the two of them left.

In "The Dominators" the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe encounter two-hearted thrill-seeking Manchild explorer Cully, his protective but a little bit thick young male student and his young female student with perfect fact recall. "Carnival of Monsters" opens with the arrival of Vorg, an eccentrically-dressed bowtie-wearing older gentleman who possesses a small, seemingly innocuous machine that is bigger on the inside than out and can manipulate time, and his glamorous young blonde travelling companion Shirna, who complains about Vorg's choice of destination and isn't sure he knows how to use his machine. Unlike the Doctor and Jo, though, they are more interested in getting loads of money with their machine than in seeing the wonders of the universe with it. (The whole story contains elements of self-parody of Doctor Who's Monster of the Week nature in this manner.) In "The Greatest Show In The Galaxy", the Doctor and his Mad Bomber sidekick Ace encounter the "eminent intergalactic explorer" Captain Cook and his werewolf sidekick Mags.

The Overlord Inves that appear later also mirror three of the four main Riders and serve as their dark equivalents. Rosyuo is a powerful and honorable authority figure with noble goals similar to Takatora but unlike him went down a much more cynical path, Demushu is Kaito if he was much more violent and lacked any of his principles, and Redyue is what Mitsuzane would be if he gave up any pretense of doing the right thing and embraced being a sociopath.

Similar Squad / int_f3b0b2a3	comment	In The Muppets (2011), years of decline have led Fozzie Bear to headline for The Moopets, a sort of dark-and-dirty version of The Muppets. Thankfully Kermit, Rowlf and the others rescue him from the clutches of bad lounge music (and Miss Poogy).

Similar Squad / int_f655ed11	comment	Frasier: When Frasier went to see Diane's play, he wasn't expecting a carbon copy of Cheers. He sure as hell wasn't expecting the Diane-lite to be loved by the Frasier-lite even after she dumped him at the altar. Much to Niles's annoyance, after he declined to move in on Daphne while she was on the rebound, she was picked up by a Niles-lookalike instead. Martin and Frasier suspect they've entered The Twilight Zone. Daphne never notices.

Similar Squad / int_f6da9a18	comment	Sgt. Frog: When digging for a spa, Keroro finds a superweapon left by a team of invaders not unlike his own. The dub takes this further, making them lizardmen from the planet Lizardono come to invade the planet they know as Ponopek but saddled with an incompetant leader who spends all his time building models. They even have similar insignias. The first movie reveals that the ancient invaders who used those statues were actually Keronians, and they also left other weapons on Earth...
