I don't like how a lot of animators just sort of have the characters' heads bounce and move spastically without rhyme or reason whenever they have to do "acting". It's a substitute for actually drawing the expressions properly and with human care, and it's often used with bad designs that can't express shit when a good animator has to do a character cut. A lot of the cuts in that MAD are like that, just all around bad acting. Some even have choppy movement and awkward timing. It's even worse because he includes genuinely well-crafted scenes like the Summer Wars and Momo ones, making the other junk stand out like a sore thumb even more.
