I always enjoy seeing them take something that's big and creatively make 
it into lots of smaller things.  I particularly liked the episodes with 
the rocket sled, because that was far more creative than just "let's get 
a bunch of anpho and make a big boom".

The ones that I haven't liked are ones like the recent "square wheels" 
episode - like what the actual f-ing f?

I like seeing genuine enthusiasm.  Nothing wrong with people enjoying the 
work they do.
