A few ideas.... just seeds for ideas...
CHILDHOOD MYTHS
A short film based on the myths that parents tell children to make them behave
Old wives tale hospital-
Victims of the following:
Don't eat too much gum it will wrap around your heart - close up on heart covered in chewing gum
Don't make funny faces the wind may change and it will be stuck that way
Don't eat too much chocolate bars or you will turn into one (giant chocolate bars)
Characters
The tooth fairy- however this fairy is no innocent money giver... rather she is a crusty old shrew with shrivelled wings who has no teeth of her own and hence aims to steal them from little children by means of a wrench. She will try to wrench their teeth out in the middle of the night
The Mess monster- A monster made entirely out of junk who spits out ciggarette butts. A mother warns that if her son does not clean his room then the Mess monster will come and eat up all the mess for him, however sometimes he also eats little children in the process.
OFFICE

STUDIO 3000- Bogus Beauty Photos
I used to work in a horrible call center where we would ring people up who had filled out a form for a free photo shoot. Sometimes these people would get excited, thinking they had won something but after being sucked in by the pampering experience it would be revealed that in order to walk away with 1 tiny photo they would have to part with hundred of dollars. They would be intimidated into buying the photos in a small room where 2 people exercised brain washing tactics to make them believe they really needed the tacky picture. Often the customers fell victim to vanity and walked away with tacky photos and bruised bank accounts.
Here is a skit to take the piss of this arrangement- but set in the 4th dimension/ outer space... where the idea of beauty is extreme and very different to our own but he Extra Terrestrials can still fall victim to the same traps
