A dead lightbulb that has somehow been broken off in the socket can be removed with a sledgehammer. Lacking that option, needlenose pliers can be jammed up the socket (first recall to stop the electricity) and then pulled apart with just enough force to push on the remaining bit of the bulb-end from the inside, but without too much force such that twisting is impossible. Figuring out the correct twisting direction from some other bulb might also be good. (The lightswitches and side-of-the-road-driven-on in Pakistan were backwards from here, and it's best to be sure of these things.) Of course the bulb was up high in a bathroom, so try not to put your face below the bulb-end, while still being able to see what is going on, and try not to step in a sink; one need not give the DM the pleasure of rolling on any more blunder tables.
No, I'm not sure how they twisted the bulb the wrong way hard enough to break it off.

Maybe it looks more like a lightbulb in some other font?
