Say Alice and Bob teleport together but suddenly a [[Teleporter Accident|random teleporting accident happens]] and Bob ends up with Alice's body, and Alice with Bob's.
[[LEGO Body Parts]] is when someone switches any body part(s) between two or more people. Making this an [[Anatomy Tropes|appendage equivalent]] to a [[Freaky Friday Flip]]. Mind you, this trope is not just limited to teleporting accidents. [[Meatgrinder Surgery]] is another way this can happen; also, just simply interchanging body parts, which is by far most common.

* Happens in a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr8Jjiw6w2Q Bristol ad].
Line 26:
* Natalie and her dog switch heads in ''[[Mars Attacks!]]''.
* Mombi from ''[[Return to Oz]]'' Subverts this due to the people she took the head from not getting any head in return.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi9Uj3ZQxvw This scene] in the [[Bollywood]] movie ''[[Jai Maa Durga Shakti]]''.
Line 32:
* in ''[[Artemis Fowl]]: The Lost Colony'', one of Artemis' eyes is swapped with one of Holly's eyes after they travel in time magically. Holly uses magic to adjust for resuling difference in size.
* The novel ''[[Retief|Retief's War]]'' by [[Keith Laumer]] has a particularly literal version: the natives of the planet Quopp are all biological robots with interchangeable parts, which they frequently trade with or steal from each other.
* ''[[Land of Oz|Ozma of Oz]]'' has Princess Langwidere who switches heads like clothing putting on a different head every day.<ref>Possibly Subverted like the above Mombi though due to the possibility of the headless body not getting anything in return.</ref>

* ''[[8-Bit Theater]]'' has Black Mage and Thief have their heads swap in [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/10/21/episode-344-face-off/ here] and [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/10/28/episode-347-they-switched-heads-not-bodies/ here] where both their heads get placed back to their original bodies.
