From which I wrote up four scenarios, in short
Bad Meal
A father reading a newspaper as one of the table has a plate with a steak on it. At another side of the table the daughter waiting for her food. The daughter receives a plate of food trying it sceptically. This makes her gag and she looks for other options seeing the steak. The daughter then tries to swap the plates around without alerting the father each time escalating in complexity. Eventually the daughter completes this task and takes a bite of the steak. This makes her gag and wretch underneath the table as it is just as bad. the father becoming suspicious lowers his newspaper revealing him eating from a packet of crisps.
Emergency response
An unconscious character is laying at the side of an accident, two paramedics spot him and come from either side. One reaches hims first and completes some chest compressions reviving the man. The other paramedic races over pushing the other paramedic out the way and knocking the man unconscious again. The man is once again revived using a pair of paddles. The two paramedics continue to knock the man unconscious and bring him back with various methods. Eventually the man tires and stays conscious enough to knock both paramedics out. Soon more paramedics arrive to help the ones who have been knocked out.
Death (hero's death)
Set much like a cinematic block buster a hero lays centre stage with his dead companion in his arms, the remains of a harsh battle around him. The moment is interrupted as the villain and his henchmen approach from the screen. The villain points his gun at the hero threatening to shoot him. The hero challenges this by grabbing the barrel, point it towards his head. A pause is given before the hero sticks up his hand, giving a gesture that is blurred by the camera. The villain finds this offensive back handing the hero. In return the hero carelessly disregards the body of his friend, standing up slapping the villain back in a childish manor. Looking hurt the villain drops his own weapon to slap the hero back. The henchmen look confused, uncertain of what to do. The hero picks up the his companion only to use his body like a bat swinging it towards the villain. The camera cuts to a later date showing the discoloured body with flies circling it. The two characters tired out and a janitor cleaning up the mess.
Death (the hooded figure)
Two typically British men are drinking tea and enjoying biscuits as death suddenly manifests in front of them pointing his finger aggressively at one of the characters. The two pause having little to no reaction before continuing with their lives. Death massages his head underneath the darkness of his hood. He then gestures more politely and one of the character stands before the other tells him to sit back down for tea. He then also extends the offer to death who reluctantly agrees. Death sips the tea and eats a biscuit which he chokes on and promptly dies. A ghost appears from the corpse of death shaking his head. Another figure manifests wearing the same hood as death in addition to a scrub and a ID tag. He goes over to the ghost of death before taking him away. Once again the two continue to act nonchalantly.
