Mundane Side

Almost any fantastic premise (with very few very, very strange exceptions) has to implicitly or explicitly rely on many non-fantastic elements -- and those usually provide the easiest starting points for exploration, deconstruction or humour.

Often, if you think things through, fantastical elements themselves may involve less fantastic things either as requirements or results of their presence. Sometimes there are Required Secondary Powers or refueling with Unobtanium. There are inherent limitations such as Exact Words or outstanding power corrupting outstandingly. But even more often, there's a more common and down-to-earth side - after all, someone have to make and repair saddles all the other tackle for your Dragon Riders.

Conversely, one can start with something mundane and downright trite, and refresh it by exploring how it could function in a fantastic setting.

Both variants can be exploited a source of comedy, drama or plot-limiting rules... or as filler.

Examples of Mundane Side include:

Generic

The Hatless in the Land of Hats. Explore how a Planet of Hats needs people not wearing the hat (or at least willing to remove it for a while) to remain competitive - and often to survive at all - yet Klingon Scientists Get No Respect. Or maybe they receive great respect, but all the fame among the outsiders goes to the more visible people?
Variations on the Extranormal Institute or All-Ghouls School.
Treatment of fantastical objects as the equivalents of common objects, justified or not, allows both gag and serious use.
- E.g. treating the Crystal Ball as a computer (so it sometimes hangs and have to be rebooted, freezes in the limbo of "...waiting for connection..." and so on).
- Familiars. Several cartoons (including a few in Dragon) dealt with the question of how one get the familiar to a veterinarian.
Stock jokes like "My other steed"/"My other spaceship"/etc and endless variations of "Kick Me" Prank.
Recycle the Freudian Couch. It provides a simple and nearly universal setup for this sort of humor (and also horrible puns, should the author be so inclined).
- Dragon had cartoon with a dwarf complaining that he "suffers from low elf-esteem".

Tabletop Games

Generally, often used to improve atmosphere.
- There are various extras like "List of 101 Fantasy Professions", treating it as a niche into which to spread.

Web Comics

Eerie Cuties started with an All-Ghouls School, but didn't stop here. If there are enough of teen vampires, of course there should be... the Teen Vampire Magazine.
- Seen again in Magick Chicks, here.
Evil Inc. has a lot of this stuff from the very premise.
- Also, the classics - one crystal ball that required a "reboot" from the witch (but metaphorically, its answer was right on the spot).
Chuckle-A-Duck has "good dog" on a Freudian Couch.

Web Original

GlennZ uses both sides of this.
- Just in one set: Banana gun: reloading and mounting Laser Sight. What happens after you use a Hover Board? You plug it into a recharging station, of course! See also: a stick insect taking selfie.
Iron Man Grounded Project. See also a sample on Behance) by Raffael Dickreuter.

What would Iron Man do if he was a common man struggling with everyday travel and issues?
