Ah, "Freaky Friday" -- what a concept. Since the original book was published in 1972, it's since been adapted into two theatrical films, two made-for-tv films, and a musical. The appeal of the premise is obvious: It's good to teach kids about the importance of putting yourself in another person's shoes (or skin) and really thinking about what their life is like. It's also just a funny concept in general, leading to all sorts of weird and uncomfortable hijinks. The Disney films didn't go too crazy with the idea of course, but John Mulaney crossed a few lines with his "Saturday Night Live" sketch based on the premise. He played the showrunner of an old sitcom where the son and dad switch bodies, except he decided to focus the show "exclusively on the sexual ramifications" of this idea, with horrifying results.
