Time Travel

Here are a few ideas for a time travel adventure comedy with a twist on the classic "fix history" plot:

    The Tourist Trap:  An unlikely time traveler (think grandma with a passion for historical reenactments) accidentally becomes a historical celebrity in the past. Now they have to maintain their fabricated persona while trying to get back to the future without messing things up too badly.

    The Butterfly Effect Benefit: A bumbling time traveler keeps accidentally improving the present by making seemingly insignificant changes in the past.  The challenge becomes convincing everyone that history is better this way, even if it's completely nonsensical (like everyone loves disco or socks are now the official form of currency).

    The Future Isn't What It Used To Be:  A time traveler goes back to fix a mistake, but discovers the future they're trying to create is actually a dystopia. Now they have to find a way to prevent the "good" timeline from happening, even though it seems like the best option at first.

    The Quantum Leap of Faith: A time traveler keeps jumping to random points in history, possessing the bodies of different people.  The humor comes from the fish-out-of-water situations and the character's struggle to complete their mission while stuck in increasingly bizarre historical periods.

    The History Channel's Worst Nightmare: A group of reality TV stars with zero historical knowledge get sent back in time to participate in major historical events.  Their attempts to recreate history for ratings lead to hilarious misinterpretations and unexpected consequences.

 creating a hilarious paradox where they have to fall in love with (or befriend) their descendant to ensure their own existence.

The Temporal Tourist: A time traveler becomes a black-market tour guide, taking wealthy clients on illegal trips to witness historical events (think Jurassic Park but with dinosaurs and tourists). The comedy comes from the clients' cluelessness and the constant threat of getting caught by the Time Patrol.

The History Detectives: A mismatched team of a bumbling time traveler and a stickler-for-accuracy historian travel through time to solve historical mysteries, uncovering hilarious misinterpretations and forgotten details.

The Alternate Timeline Talent Show: A time traveler accidentally creates a parallel universe where everyone's defining characteristic is a wacky talent. The humor comes from the character's attempts to navigate this bizarre world and find a way back to their (relatively) normal timeline.

The Time Traveling Trophy Wife: A pampered socialite gets accidentally sent back in time and becomes the wife of a famous historical figure.  Her struggle to adapt to a simpler life and her attempts to use her modern knowledge for personal gain create comedic situations.
