Here's another one from Blake Snyder.
FBI out of water.
"This works for comedy or drama. Name five places that an FBI agent in the movies has never been sent to solve a crime. Example: "Stop or I'll baste!": Slob FBI agent is sent undercover to a Provence Cooking School."
Of course, you can twist this several other ways. The SEAL sent to a kindergarten... Well, that's almost been done. Anyway, pick your character such as an FBI agent, then think of unusual places that they might have to go. Simple, right?
So, write!
