Surgeon Simulator began as a game-jam project and made clumsy controls part of the joke instead of something to polish away. The player-facing version of the idea is simple. Comedy in games has one advantage over comedy in film: the player can become the punchline by personally causing the disaster. The more normal the objective sounds, the funnier it becomes when the controls refuse to cooperate.

This actually happened

The Wilhelm scream is a famous reused movie sound effect that became an inside joke among filmmakers. Games have similar recurring audio jokes, proof that even sound libraries can develop folklore. A second detour: Surgeon Simulator began as a 48-hour game-jam project in 2013. Its deliberately awkward controls turned delicate surgery into physical comedy, proving that a bad grip can sometimes be excellent game design.
