In sword-fighting movies of the 1940\'s, a man fighting a woman would cut her clothes off (at least in one movie). This is parodied and gender-inverted, but mostly not done until a Zorro movie with Antonio Banderas plays it straight again.
I suggest the name \'Throwback\', but I don\'t know if it belongs here or not..
As for the \'Baton pass\", I don\'t know your example, but I think I got it. Is this an example?
On the show GetSmart, Maxwell Smart is a klutz, and his partner, Agent 99, is not. On one episode where Smart does not appear, Agent 99 finds herself having \'caught\' Smart\'s clumsiness, and does the slapstick Smart had done.
