I made a jello sculpture thing, my friends rewrote the words to a song, but by far the coolest example was the three guys I sat in the back of the class with who recorded a halo match and voiced over things about DNA. the players were different bits of DNA and different warthogs were carriers and that's how they "zipped up" the DNA essentially. I remember thinking how cool it was to take something so extra-curricular, something so outside the academic sphere and bringing it in in a legitimate way.

It's fascinating to see how seriously they take things in a primarily comedic show. <br /><br />There are a lot of great vignette moments that are tied together with an awesome narrative.
