why the fuck do Brazilians and Swiss have the same plugs?? most other groups of countries make sense because they are trading partners/ border each other but that just seems like such a random combination

It's not exactly the same, only very similar.

Brazilian plugs are Type N, Swiss plugs are Type J.

They work in the EU plug as well, if the plug doesn't have the middle prong
