Two characters swap roles in life, usually gaining greater understanding of each other's challenges. In '50's and '60's sitcoms, this often took the form of Dad staying home to watch junior while Mom went to work. More recently, kids tend to swap roles with parents. Another common formulation, usually played for comedy over the Aesop, is masters and servants swapping roles for some deceptive reason. Contrast with Prince and Pauper, Decoy Leader and Emergency Impersonation. Compare with Freaky Friday Flip. Examples of Swapped Roles include:

Another common formulation, usually played for comedy over the Aesop, is masters and servants swapping roles for some deceptive reason. Often begins with a fight, where the two characters are convinced they can do the other character's job better, and/or the other character has a much easier life. Usually ends up with a Be Careful What You Wish For Aesop, with both characters realising that they prefer their own roles. Contrast with Prince and Pauper, Decoy Leader and Emergency Impersonation.
