Ol' Switcheroo

The UnTrash that really, really lives up to its name.

When two things are confused for each other. In its most deliberate form, Ol' Switcheroo is a part of a Stealth Mission. There are many reasons why the Main Cast may need to swap two objects. Among the most common is to retrieve a lost good from a band of baddies. Alternatively, this plan can be relevant in the opposite situation, or when the enemies must be fooled with a worthless replica of their possession. The audience may not be aware of Ol' Switcheroo being put to use if it's meant to surprise them. The Main Cast can secretly employ this scheme, but it can also be used against them without the viewers' knowledge. Regardless of how aware audience members are of Ol' Switcheroo, they generally agree that it's a worn-out UnTrash whose only worth is Annoying The Audience.
