Basic Trope: Character A and Character B, from wildly different backgrounds, swap roles.
- Straight: People believe that working-class cafe waitress Wanda is wealthy socialite Wendy and that Wendy is Wanda.
- Exaggerated: Wendy and Wanda do a perfect job of pretending to be each other, even knowing things they cannot possibly know.
- Downplayed: Wanda spills coffee on Wendy, and lets Wendy use her uniform apron while her blouse is washed. Wendy is briefly mistaken for a waitress.
- Justified: Wendy and Wanda are Separated at Birth, clones, one's a doppelganger...
- Inverted: ???
- Subverted: Wanda has a large scar that distinguishes herself from Wendy.
- Double Subverted: Wendy gives herself the same scar.
- Parodied: Wanda and Wendy look wildly different but no one seems to notice.
- Zig Zagged: The two switch places constantly as people try to tell them apart.
- Averted: Wanda and Wendy never consider pretending to be one another.
- Enforced: "Our plot puts the main character in two places at once, let's give him a twin or something."
- Lampshaded: "Should I even care which one you are?"
- Invoked: "Hey Wanda, there is something we can do, Mark Twain wrote this one book..."
- Exploited: Wendy is getting married in London while Wanda (as Wendy) is attending a stockholder's meeting in Paris.
- Defied: Wanda and Wendy intentionally distinguish themselves so they can't be misidentified.
- Discussed: "You just know those two are going to try swapping places."
- Conversed: "I'd love to see things from your point of view. Why don't we swap?"
- Deconstructed: Wanda has no idea how to act like Wendy and is identified as an impostor quickly.
- Reconstructed: So Wendy teaches Wanda how to act like her.
- Played For Drama: Wendy and Wanda lose each other's jobs and/or completely ruin each other's lives.
- Implied: In one episode, "Wanda" is unusually incompetent at her job and "Wendy" acts rougher than usual for some reason, and it seems they might have switched places. This is not brought up again.
Quit pretending you're someone you're not and go back to Prince and Pauper.
