Need Ideas for this video, Help?

how hard is it to use C4D? I would like to do some weird animations but don't know what program I'd use. I tried using Adobe after effects and I couldn't even make a stick figure walk because I was too lazy to watch a bunch of tutorials.
Cinema 4D is a 3D program, it takes time to adapt to it. Personally I think 2D animation is much easier. In 3D animation you would have to create your own model then rigging them, 2D all you need to do is draw your model and have your choice to either rigging it or frame by frame. After Effect puppet animation gotta be the easiest animations ever all you need to do is rig your cartoon characters & keying body parts for them to move. Its not the program to be a good animator its all depends on the animator preference.
 
Dude have I ever told you I love the dancing stick man XD I see it everywhere and I know this doesn't help you but I laugh everytime I see it XD
 
So I was messing around and made this video like few hours ago, this what I got so far:

The problem while I was animating it I was like "Okay, why did I made this?" I had no plans on how the video was going to be, and its ending. So hopefully this is where you guys come in, brainstorm and give me some ideas on how this video should take place and end. To me it looks good and I'd hate to toss this in the trash.

After entering an empty room what should the stick figure do? Is there something on the other side? Lets be creative but not too creative where to a point that I can't animate it cause I'm not in that pro level yet. lol
I'll be sure to give credit at the end of the video & the description, thanks in advance.

note: yes that was one of @Symph 's music I used lol sorry if I forgot to ask permission but I love your songs man!
Pffft, I'm delighted you even thought of my music. Flattered really :)[DOUBLEPOST=1435802888,1435802669][/DOUBLEPOST]I may be biased cause my song is being used as the beginning, and I have no concrete idea, but it seems as if it should surprise you with something that's actually happy, and then let the song kick back in in full clarity. But FIRST you should make it seem like something dark, scary, weird, the closest thing I have to a real vision is like, making the stick figure imagine what all of that could mean, imagining horrifying things, then pluck up his courage, go through the door, brace for the worst, and then... Surprise! He's floating on a cloud sipping a margarita with hot stick figure chicks beside him as the song kicks back in. Not a very fleshed out vision but, maybe it'll spark something in that head of yours :)
 
I feel like something like this has been done before, and I'm not even sure you were looking for something comedic, but I felt like writing a little tonight anyway so....

Door is slammed closed...guy standing there..a very polite knock on the door.

Guy says: "what do you want?"
Bad guy: "It's the pizza guy."
Guy: "What?"
BG: "It's the pizza guy...I have a delivery"
Guy: "you're not the pizza guy...you were just chasing me and you-"
BG: "well yeah"
Guy: "and the blue lightning bolts and all, you were trying to get me"
BG :"yeah, well, I mean, no that just helps me get places faster" (and then in a quieter evil low voice) "so I can kill you faster"
Guy: "Hey! I heard that"
BG: "Heard what?"
Guy: "You said 'so I can kill you faster'"
BG: "nah man I said that'll be $15.25"
Guy: "what? that's not what you- wait, I didn't even order pizza!"
BG "Yeah, $15.25 and I even threw in some garlic knots for your trouble...you know, the chasing and blue lightning and whatnot"
Guy: "Dude, you were totally trying to kill me?"
BG; "nah man I wasn't doing anything like that"
Guy: "Yes, you completely were trying...- wait, how many garlic knots?"
BG: "one dozen"
Guy: ".....and they're free? Wow...well you didn't have to-"
BG: "well yeah, like I said I felt bad about the whole perceived murder attempt and all...that....you know...nonsense."
Guy: "Okay...I'll let you in...but you gotta promise not to kill me."
BG: "Seriously man? I'm not gonna kill you man....I swear" (lower voice) "I'm just gonna electrocute you..."
Guy: "I CAN HEAR YOU! You said you were gonna electrocute me!"
BG: "Nah man I was just saying I have dipping sauces for the knots"
Guy: "What!!! Stop lying to me! Admit it"
BG: "Fine...<big sigh> I said I was gonna electrocute you but I was just joking around. And besides, I only promised that I wouldn't kill you. Said nothing about electrocution".
Guy: "Are you being serious? You know that electrocuted means killed, right?"
BG : "Do you want this food or not? I'm not gonna kill you."
Guy: "Fine...I'm so hungry right now I just don't care"
[opens door] ZZZZAAAAPPP (electric sound)
Cut to both of them sitting on the couch....he's got soot over his body and they're both eating pizza.

BG: "See? I electrocuted you and you didn't die."
Guy: "You're an [bleep]....hand me those knots"
cut to black
BG: "Here you go" -
ZZZZZAAAAAPPPP
BG: "oooh.....oh god man, I'm really sorry"
(in the background tailing off "what the [bleep]"

Best I could do at 2AM. Don't care if you use any of that idea, I had fun writing it.
