I don't know why I love the Bumble Bee Bop so much. I guess part of the reason is because these guys are always cheerful, and just so darn cute.

Then there's pure artistic admiration. The designers managed to create believable personalities from basic shapes that remind me of a giant billiard ball stacked on top of a giant yellow golf ball. The simplest designs can be the most effective! These bees have no moving parts - the head doesn't turn, and the arms are stationary - yet from every angle they present a different expression. Sometimes it's "Ta Da!" or "Peace, brother." This one's my favorite, the humble "Oh, gosh, you want to paint little ol' me?" look.
