In The Smurfs season 5 episode 23 titled "Dr. Evil and Mr. Nice," the Smurfs encounter a peculiar character named Dr. Wooglebug, who is a scientist that has perfected a machine that can change a person's personality from evil to good or vice versa.

At the beginning of the episode, Gargamel is up to his usual antics, trying to capture the Smurfs with his cat Azrael when he stumbles upon Dr. Wooglebug's laboratory.

While out on their search, they happen upon Gargamel's old castle where they discover that not all is as it seems. Dr. Wooglebug realizes that the machine's switch has caused a split personality in Gargamel, causing him to transform into Dr. Evil, a mean and cruel persona that is determined to capture and destroy the Smurfs.

With the help of the Smurfs, Dr. Wooglebug comes up with a plan to fix Gargamel's split personality by switching him back to his original self before any harm can be done.
