Well, the way I see it. What you wanna do will only work as a scene. Because a short movie like that will get kind of annoying. So you should make like a boring idea with lets say one scene were you can go crazy like that. (for example, make a movie about a group of freinds, and a group of bullies. Then you can put in a scene were they play against each other in football. This is were you can do all the crazy action cr** you want)

Do a psudo TV show... When good people go bad. Do it like it is a collection of video clips from around the world of people snapping.
You could have the dramatic voice over and the intro and closing sequence with some no-name actor (Like Troy McClure)

make the main characters really really really exagerated, like the way they talk and the way they are dressed...

example: one guy who talks like elvis with one big robot arm vs a dark catholic priest, stuff like that....

take a look at sockbaby for inspiration......

Well, this doesn't exactly fit in with your theme, but what the hell: I've wanted for awhile to do a short film about some daily event, like in school. And we watch like one character do the whole movie, then at the 'end' of his part, switch to another character he interacted with and tell that character's interpretation of events, et al.
