Opinions on the new smilies:

– What am I to use this for? Random Coke references?
– Ok, I can see the possibilities for a "Cheers", but isn't this one a bit repetitive/tacky/whatever?
:heart: – Excellent addition! Definate keeper
– Another good one
– I'd thhink drooling was something one did in a positive way, but this little guy looks like it's because of a recent lobotomy or something.
Good idea – not the best execution
– I know it's supposed to be a beret, but it looks more like he's got a hot dog on his head...
– Good, clean simple – animation doesn't automagically make something cooler
– It's an ok smiley
– Yay, he's a cowboy – So?
Great – especially used in a self-efacing way
irate: – Same as the cowboy if it worked. Right now vBullentin thinks I'm trying to use a ": p" smiley...
– No need for this one really
– Can't see myself using it, but some might find it useful.

Guess what I'm trying to say is that there's a reason the regular smilies are just that – they're simple and effective ( <- this guy is the exception to the "simple" rule )

P.S.
To me it would be better if all smilies were the same gradient yellow as this guy ->
