"Identity Theft" is the eleventh and final episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law season three, and the thirty-second overall. It aired on October 23, 2005 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. It was written by series creators, Michael Ouweleen and Erik Richter, produced by Evan W. Adler, and directed by Richard Ferguson-Hull. The Hanna-Barbera series ridiculed in this episode are several, bringing to light the "cloning" the studio did in order to replicate the same success with the same general idea of similar-looking teenagers and a talking mascot, which gets more (or just as) unbelievable with each take.
The Deadly Duplicator gets revenge on Harvey by duplicating an endless wave of doubles of him, confusing an already delicate trial of stolen identity.
