What do I do in play? "You run the bakery!"
What complicates that? "You're a fish!"
I hope I am providing the seed to a point that makes sense, but for me, what I am always chasing is the chance for new bits and explore new ground, rather than simply play out the situation on the tin

Everyone has a multiversal gimmick (what's your gimmick? You tell me, find something funny), and an objective without a clear goal (how do you stop the bird? who knows? you tell me)
Whereas a lot of games I've read are a funny premise (you're a fish who runs a bakery!), but nowhere to GO from there

Or more accurately, what's missing is a DIRECTION, or BLANK SPACES to explore.
Using DON'T KILL A BIRD WITH A BASEBALL as an example, the premise is funny (You're multiversal randy johnsons trying to stop Big Unit from killing a bird), but immediately there are gaps to fill in with riffs and bits.

It's tough to make a comedy RPG that doesn't "tell the joke for you," and this one in particular felt like such a home run (pun intended) in that department, where the premise is funny but it immediately challenges you to build on that premise, and find new avenues for humor, it was honestly perfect
