The Other Darrin / Web Original

• Parodied in The Cinema Snob's Riki-Oh! video, where the Cinema Snob and Kung Tai Ted (a character who speaks in a perpetual Hong Kong Dub) fight it out...and Ted's voice actor changes midway through the fight, because he was bought out by a new dubbing company while the two were fighting.
• Played around with in the Jamezbond animutation. As the title indicates, the plot focuses on James Bond, or rather, some bizarre changeling mishmash of various James Bonds — normally he appears as Pierce Brosnan; when swinging around via grappling hook or being chased down by an evil Jay Jay the Jet Plane, he's Roger Moore; and when taking on the evil mutant clone Alex Trebek army and (naturally) scoring all the chicks, he's Sean Connery.
• In The Hillywood Show's parodies of Twilight movies, the role of Jacob was originally portrayed by Joseph Lewellyn in the first one, however in the parodies of the sequels he was portrayed by Kyle Dayton.
  • Also in the Hillywood Show Twilight parodies, the role of Edward, which was usually portrayed by Jacob Jost, was played by Austin Clay in the Breaking Dawn parodies.
• Sort of in Darwin's Soldiers. It is not uncommon for characters to be played by multiple people. The most prominent examples were Corporal Stern and Aydin; they were originally played by Noname but with his banning from the forum, they were later portrayed by Serris and LettuceBacon&Tomato.
• 80's Dan parodied this In-Universe with Dolly being replaced by a guy (until the real Dolly showed up), then the Crabtrees being alternately played by inanimate objects.
• To Boldly Flee actually makes this an actual ability. Much like how Spock put his katra into Bones, a character can transfer his essence from actor to actor in the hopes of revival. Examples are named, including the Trope Namer. In the context of To Boldly Flee, Ma-Ti transfers himself into Spoony.
  • It's also played straight, as the voice of Ma-Ti is provided by Rob Walker.
• In Welcome to Night Vale, Carlos the Scientist was voiced by series co-creator Jeffrey Cranor in his first appearance ("The Phone Call"), but since December 2013 the role has been taken over by Dylan Marron. Cranor had become uncomfortable with the implications of a straight white actor playing a queer Latino character.
  • Actually a case of The Nth Doctor, since the change was explained In-Universe; Apparently scientists in Night Vale occasionally need to replace their vocal cords to avoid Throat Spiders
• In law school a "hypothetical" is a story made up to illustrate various situations. Lawyers delight in using wacky names (like "Boyar U. Dumm" or "I.P. Daily") and material from books and movies in these stories. Here is a page on how wills are contested with a hypothetical that explains the entire problem of two Darrins: Samantha changes her will because Uncle Arthur has convinced her that her husband Darrin has been replaced with an impostor. (A little Harsher in Hindsight considering that Elizabeth Montgomery really did die from illness.)
• With Sonic for Hire, Sonic and his friends appeared in many different Dorkly Bits videos before, with some weirdness between Sonic and Tails' voice actors. Sometimes, Sonic would have Tails' voice and sometimes Tails would have Sonic's voice. In one promo involving Sonic For Hire, Tails had Earthworm Jim's voice which was hilariously out of place. But now, Sonic and the gang have found their voices and in all Dorkly Bits animations after that the cast of Sonic For Hire have reprised their roles. Dr. Robotnik however has surprisingly keep his voice consistent across all animations however.
• The lead actress was replaced between seasons on Super Knocked Up.
• The voice actor for Leon was replaced after just episode one of The Mark Side.
• Spoofed in this Irregular Webcomic!. If you don't know IWC, then these may help.
• CLW Entertainment: The Doraemon voice actors have changed a few times over the course of the fandub. This video discusses how and why some of the voices have changed.
• AFK: Steven ended up being replaced with another actor. This is explained In-Universe as Steven paying a wizard to turn him back into a man, while the guy didn't listen beyond hearing "brunette, great body", so he ended up then being physically female again, just white instead of Asian.
• "Deadpool: The Musical 2": When Deadpool finds Jubilee tied to a chair after he finishes the first song in he asks her who she is and discusses why he asked:
  Deadpool: Who in the cameo are you supposed to be?
  Jubilee: I'm Jubilee! I'm an X-Man, you moron. Are you gonna take this power-dampening collar off or—
  Deadpool: No-no-no, mean girl, I mean which one are you? After all, you're played by a different Asian actress in every X-Men movie.
  Jubilee: [a different Asian actress] I don't know what you're talking about.
  Deadpool: Fuckknuckles! You did it again!
• Critters: A New Binge, an eight-episode web miniseries based on the Critters film series, did not bring back Corey Burton to voice the Crites and instead had the Crite voices done by Jacob Flack, Jim Meskimen and Mark Steger.
• Enforced with Paul in Chris Ray Gun's videos. Paul is voiced by a different YouTuber almost every episode. This allows the videos to have many cameos, but also means that if audience members don't recognise the voice, they will still recognise the character.
• After coming out as a transgender woman, Abigail Thorn from Philosophy Tube hired actors to play the roles she used to fill before her transition, casting Rhys Tees as The Man Who Never Was (aka her pre-transition self) in "Identity: A Trans Coming Out Story", and Ben Mann as the Arsonist in "Jordan Peterson's Philosophy".
• The Noedolekcin Archives: At first, Kirk Odd's voice was provided using samples of Brandon Lee's voice from The Crow (1994). Lyric West voiced the character in "Nick Jr. Anomaly (2001, Found Footage)", but Puz would voice the character starting with "July 25, 2005".
• angelarts' VA Let's Play Earthbound:
  • TanukiChris voiced Jeff in the first episode, but he was unable to voice Jeff early on, so he was soon replaced by HylianOni in his debut episode.
  • Snavillus voiced Poo in the first episode and in Part 18, but he was unable to voice him for his debut, so he was replaced by PixelPrattleXP.
