The most benign subtrope of [[Body Snatcher]]: two or more characters swap bodies (or, equally, swap minds) by some form of magic or [[Applied Phlebotinum]]. Typically, a deeper appreciation of the other's life is attained. Named for [[Freaky Friday|a novel and movie]] about a body swap between a mother and her daughter. |

When this plot is done in animation, usually the ''voices'' [[Voices Are Mental|also switch]] as narrative cheat to help younger viewers keep track of who's who, though more serious/action-oriented shows might not do this. The Flip often involves characters of different ages, genders, races, or social classes. Another variation is a protagonist and antagonist switching, which usually involves each trying to undermine the other's organization while simultaneously trying to switch back. If one or both of the characters have [[Stock Super Powers|superpowers or other special abilities]], they'll [[How Do I Shot Web|have a lot of trouble figuring their new powers out]]. |

A similar idea, with less learning and more evil, is [[Grand Theft Me]]. Compare [[Personality Swap]], when the characters' personalities are swapped but their minds stay where they are meant to be. It will often involve similar tropes to transformation stories (such as [[Gender Bender]]) as this is essentially two of these in one, with the addition of confusion resulting from the transformations being into other known characters. <ref> [[The Mirror Shows Your True Self]] is sometimes used to reveal the switch.</ref> |

* A weird example in ''[[Birdy the Mighty (Anime)|Birdy the Mighty]] DECODE'': Tsutomu and Birdy were, of course, already [[Sharing a Body]], but said body's appearance changed depending on who was in control at the moment... until a nasty run-in with a reality-warping [[BFG]] led to Tsutomu waking up in Birdy's body, with Birdy's mind apparently MIA. |

* An episode in the second season of ''[[Galaxy Angel (Anime)|Galaxy Angel]]'' features a piece of Lost Technology that switches the minds/bodies of members of the Angel Brigade. Impressively, the VAs stay with the same body, but mimic the speech characteristics of the actual character they are voicing. Even the elderly male Commander. Even more impressive is that the characters swap bodies several times in this episode. |

* This forms the basis for the first episode in the ''[[Shakugan no Shana (Light Novel)|Shakugan no Shana]] S'' OVA series. A bit of [[Applied Phlebotinum]] causes Yuuji and Shana to switch bodies, which makes for some awkward moments as they try to swap back and happen to run into pretty much the entire cast. |

* In an episode of ''[[Iznogoud]]'', a wizard invents a magic bowl: whenever two people drink consecutively from it, they exchange souls. [[Hilarity Ensues]] when this new invention gets tested by several patrons in an inn, just for fun. One of the catches is that it doesn't have to be actually ''people'' who drink: animals count too. (The wizard himself ends up in the body of a parrot.) Or even ''inanimate objects'', for that matter. |

** ''[[Dream A Little Dream]]'' was a bit more complicated. The mind of Coleman (the old man) entered the body of Bobby (the teenager) and took over. Coleman's body was nowhere to be found. Bobby's mind was suppressed, but showed up to talk to Coleman in his dreams. Coleman's wife, Gena, also vanished. Her consciousness showed up inside Lainie, Bobby's would-be girlfriend, but Lainie's mind remained dominant. |

* The 1940 comedy ''Turnabout'' (later adapted as a short-lived TV sitcom) has a married couple inhabiting each other's bodies due to a spell from an enchanted statue. In the film (not the TV version), the voices go with the selves, so that the husband's body speaks with the wife's voice and the wife's with the husband's -- as in more-recent animated cartoons. |

* In Marghanita Laski's novel ''[[The Victorian Chaise Longue]]'', a modern woman buys a Victorian couch at a bargain price because it has an old dried bloodstain that can't be removed. Falling asleep on the couch, she wakens on the same couch in Victorian times, inhabiting the body of the couch's original owner. The couch is now new and unstained, and the woman suspects (correctly) that her impending death will cause the bloodstain. |

* Happened in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Expanded Universe]] novel ''Half Life'', although with a bit of a [[Personality Swap]] element -- despite swapping all their habits, personality traits, and their memories, they retained their basic selves, and afterward remembered what it was like to have the other person's mind. Apparently, it's really fun to be the Doctor, not so much [[Cowardly Lion|the companion he swapped with]]. There's a very touching scene after they've switched back where the Doctor ''actually [[Manly Tears|cries]]'' -- which is a big deal for him -- because he hadn't realized before just how much hell he puts his companions through. |
