* ShownTheirWOrk: "Mind ''is'' what the brain ''does''" is part of the current medical lexicon (consciousness is a product of the complex physical process of the squidgy pudding that is brain). Rick makes it a point to say he will ''not'' be doing a ''Film/FreakyFriday'', but instead swapping ''minds'', not ''brains''.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Subverted for laughs. Chuxly's mob are rather taken aback when Jerrybody protests about Rickbody giving him a gay persona. Both even feel the need to apologise to the mob over this.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Chuxly is about as reasonable as a mob boss can get. He doesn't spend a lot of time berating his subordinate for making the mistake of bringing in Morty Smith. He tries his best to keep Morty comfortable and make it seem to Rick as if the situation he is in is just one big misunderstanding. He even attempts to just bribe Rick with a fortune of drug crystals to let them off of the hook. The only mistake he makes is reverting back to the usual Mafia Boss tactics when he senses Rickbody and Jerrybody might be weaker together than Rick Sanchez is whole, a mistake he pays for with his life, but even then, he only blames himself for making that roll of the dice against Rick in the first place, and [[GracefulLoser recognizes that he lost]].

** Jerrybody is initially this. While ''instantly'' rushing in to rescue Morty over his incident with Chuxly, he is willing to accept their excuse and politely take their original barter of 100 crystals and leave with Morty as quick as possible rather than haggle for extra like Rickbody, and similarly only resorts to blasting people when both Chuxly's mob and the restaurant try to attack them first.

* InstantlyProvenWrong: As pointed out below, Rick insists that his intelligence doesn't depend on his "hardware" (physical brain), but the result of his efforts, and decides to switch with Jerry to prove it. However, ''he'' proves to be the one incapable of dealing with the change, killing himself right after and proving Jerry's point.

* VillainBall: Despite being terrified of Rick's wrath, Chuxly manages to quickly placate Rickbody and Jerrybody and convince them Morty's "kidnapping" was a misunderstanding, only to become brazen when he notices them bickering and senses a moment of weakness to ambush Rick. He acknowledges this was a mistake in the end.

shoehorning. the reveal of the survival must be a twist to the audience and a threat to the heroes which is not the case here

* ShoutOut:
** The title is a reference to ''Film/{{The Parent|Trap 1961}} [[Film/TheParentTrap1998 Trap]]'', which also involved an identity swap (though, in those movies, it was two twins pretending to be each other, rather than a literal body swap).
** Since the plot is kicked off by a FreakyFridayFlip, [[Film/FreakyFriday2003 the titular film]] is unsurprisingly name-dropped multiple times by Rick, Jerry, and Morty.
** Rick apparently gave himself a conehead implant after watching ''Film/{{Coneheads}}''. Both versions of Rick/Jerry compliment the film and its cast.

* DistressedDude and DamselInDistress:
** Morty is captured, with his hands tied, by one of Chuxly's subordinates for selling drugs on their turf. It's downplayed, though, because once Chuxly sees who he is, he has an OhCrap (realizing Rick will strike back) and promptly unties Morty, treating him more like a guest than a prisoner. Though Morty ends up as this again during the shootout when Chuxly {{Neck Lift}}s him, needing Rickbody and Jerrybody to save him.
** Morty, Beth, and Summer end up getting captured by Chuxly after one of Morty's underworld contacts sells them out, being BoundAndGagged and later subjected to UnwillingSuspension over an AcidPool as hostages to get Burger and Fries to show up and face Chuxly. Unfortunately for the latter, it's "Jerricky" who arrives to save them instead, and a CurbStompBattle ensues.

* CurbStompBattle:
** Rickbody and Jerrybody prove that Chuxly made a grave mistake by taking their scrambled state as a sign of weakness, easily cutting down all his forces during the shootout. Even Morty, with just a gun, is able to fight his way back to the ship all by himself before Chuxly grabs him.
** And once Chuxly and co. use Morty, Summer, and Beth as hostages against Burger and Fries, Jerricky (a FusionDance version of the two) shows up and effortlessly mows down him and his men once again without taking any damage whatsoever.
