Freaky Friday Flip: Difference between revisions

** It might be worth noting in this example, their voices don't switch, although their accents do.

*** In the American version, which doesn't include accents, the voices DO switch.

* ''[[Pokémon Ranger and The Temple of The Sea]]''. The newly hatched Pokémon Manaphy does this twice: switching Team Rocket's minds among the three of them, and switching the minds of Ash Ketchum and Jack Walker (the eponymous Pokémon Ranger).

* ''[[Crayon Shin-chan]]'' did a child/parent switch between Shin and Misae ("Mitzi" in FUNimation's [[Gag Dub]]) and they didn't even switch voices (Goes for the dub as well). Much [[Hilarity Ensues]], including Misae doing the beloved ass dance.

* In ''[[Sket Dance]]'' on the school trip Bossun and Himeko accidentally drink some pills that switch their minds. What makes it hilarious is that Himeko (in Bossun's body) insists that Bossun ''must not touch any intimate part'' of her body (which he now possesses). Which means that all delicate operations on that original body of her (like wiping the ass or, what a horror, ''bathing'') should be done by Himeko herself (who is now in ''Bossun's'' body, remember!). This leads to some scenes which, taken out of context, would be considered very perverse.

* Episode 13 of [[Miracle Girls]] has a swap between ''identical twins''. The trope is played utterly straight, with each of them having to pretend to be the one whose body she's in, even though they could just pull a [[Twin Switch]] using a couple of wigs and look exactly like themselves anyway.

 

== Comic Books ==

* This trope is common in [[Fanfic]]s. For example [[Big Name Fan|Cassandra Claire]]'s (in)famous [[Draco in Leather Pants|"Draco Trilogy"]] started by body-swapping [[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]] and Draco in a Polyjuice accident.

* The unknown, yet ever-amusing ''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]'' fic [[Fan Fic/Elphie Why Is Boq In My Body|"Elphie, why is Boq in my body?"]] is about six best friends (with kissing benefits) who switch bodies every time they kiss. Along the way, there's hot landlords, waiters, and snide homophobes to be dealt with. Unadulterated chaos, but awesome.

* In the "has-an-iffy-first-chapter-but-overall-good-fic" ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3791056/1/The_Switch_Glitch The Switch Glitch]'', a magic e-mail chain letter causes an eccentric ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' fangirl to swap bodies with Edward Elric himself (for the first quarter of the fic at least). [[Hilarity Ensues|Need I say it?]]

* Episode Nine of ''[[Demyx Time]]'', with the two leads. Done surprisingly well for a live-action fan production.

* The 1999 made for TV [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0132666/ Wonderful World of Disney] movie (boy, Disney sure likes to use this gimmick a lot) [[wikipedia:A Saintly Switch|A Saintly Switch]] finds David Alan Grier and Vivica A. Fox switching bodies.

* ''[[The Change Up]]'' - family man switches bodies with bachelor.

 

 

* In the ''[[Goosebumps]]'' book "Why I'm Afraid of Bees", Gary, the main character, stumble upon a ''service'' that switches you with whoever you want. however, he accidently ends up in the body of a bee. [[Hilarity Ensues|Horror ensues]].

* The entire premise of the kids' series ''Katie Kazoo Switcheroo'' is this trope. She switches bodies with other characters partway through each story, thanks to a magic wind.

 

== Live-Action TV ==

** Tedd and Grace [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-05-14 emulated this] via [[Shapeshifting|transformation]] into each other's forms. After all, Grace ''studied'' Tedd...

{{quote|'''Grace''': [http://www.egscomics.com/?date{{=}}2006-08-07 ...and couples switching bodies is #37 on your list of weird things you like.]}}

* ''[[Wright As Rayne]]'' has a one-sided version of this. Vigilante Alex Rayne is forced to inhabit the body of teenage girl Dorothy Wright, but Wright's mind is in some kind of stasis.

* Joked about in ''[[Questionable Content]]'', where Hannelore thinks this is happening because she dreamed about it.

* In ''[[Off White]],'' the humans want to transfer the [[It Makes Sense in Context|white spirit wolf's spirit into a human body to bring back the balance that was lost when the human white spirit disappeared.]] It must be a wolf because the only thing they have to go by is an old legend that pairs wolves and man together as being created at the same time.

* In [[Tales Of Gnosis College]], Willie and the lady professor he does work study for achieve a temporary and apparently accidental Freaky Friday Flip through an experiment with hypnosis and drugs. It leads to a torrid example of [[Professionals Do It on Desks]].

 

== Web Original ==

* ''[[Robotboy]]'' does this first with Robotboy and Gus when the latter gets electrocuted reaching into the former's head during a tune-up, then with Gus and a dove by minor villain Felonious Hexx for revenge on what he did in a previous episode. In the latter case it's actually an improvement because [[Fridge Logic|the dove does Gus' schoolwork better]] and Gus genuinely enjoys life as a dove.

* In an episode of ''[[Chowder]]'' the titular character subjects himself, Mung Daal, Truffles, and Schnitzel to this after attempting to [[Too Dumb to Live|cram an entire container of a certain ingredient into a dish]]. At the end they're in their proper bodies except for Mung who somehow has switched with his [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]] Endive.
