Season 1, Episode 12 of Yin Yang Yo! is called Smorks / Yin Yang Carl. The episode comprises two separate stories that run back to back, each with its unique plot, settings, and humor.

The first story, Smorks, starts with a hilarious premise when Yin and Yang stumble upon a hidden village filled with a tiny imp-like creatures called Smorks. The Smorks are incredibly friendly but also incredibly dim-witted and lack even the most basic skills. Yin and Yang, seeing their incompetence, feel compelled to teach the Smorks basic Martial Arts so they can defend themselves from the dangers of their world. They start teaching the Smorks, but their efforts prove futile, as the Smorks are so dim-witted they can barely follow even the simplest instructions. Meanwhile, Carl, the Evil Cockroach Wizard, who is Yin and Yang's arch-nemesis, is spying on the twins, and he seizes the opportunity to strike when Yin and Yang are busy with the Smorks. Carl plans to steal the imp-like creatures in his relentless quest for power and control. Yin and Yang must protect the Smorks from Carl's evil intentions while trying to teach them basic martial arts.

In the second story, Yin Yang Carl, we see Carl planning to defeat Yin and Yang by creating a robot clone of their master, Yo, to lure them into his trap. Carl's robot clone looks and acts like Yo, but something is a little off about it, and Yin and Yang notice it immediately. The robot Yo starts behaving erratically, committing heinous crimes, and attacking Yin and Yang, all while claiming that it is Yo. Yin and Yang initially think that Carl is behind this, but they soon realize that the problem is much more complicated than they thought.

Yin and Yang try everything to expose the fake robot Yo, but the robot keeps escaping from their grasp. They even consult with Master Yo himself, who is out of town, to understand what is happening. Master Yo, who detects a disturbance in the force, cuts short his well-deserved vacation and returns to help his students. With Master Yo's guidance, Yin and Yang discover that their robot clone is filled with glitches and that the problem is the Carlbot's programming. Yin and Yang must then confront Carl, who is controlling the Carlbot, and put a stop to his diabolical scheme once and for all.

Overall, Yin Yang Yo! Season 1 Episode 12 is filled with comedy, action, and whimsy that has come to be expected from the show. The episode presents complex themes of friendship, trust, and loyalty in a delightful manner while staying true to the central concepts of Yin and Yang. Smorks / Yin Yang Carl is a treat for young viewers that will leave them laughing, fascinated, and cheering for the good guys.
