Is anyone else triggered by the new Shaco splasharts?

As a Shaco main, I LOVED his Workshop and Nutcracko skins' splashes and would go between them every game. But in the recent changes to splashes, while they are temporary, thoroughly disappointed me on both of these. For one, the new Nutcracko looks like he's trying to be a matador or something odd like that, no longer terrifying and hilarious as the old splash was. In the old one, he had the perfect combination of laugh and scare that defines the champ - I could joke about "Where's Waldo" or "ONE OF THESE GUYS ARE NOT LIKE THE OTHER" but at the same time feel like he was ready to pull those shivs out and sink them in. On the other hand, Workshop Shaco turned into some sort of horrible accident-clockwork thing, and it's hard to look at because his expression looks maniacal - I'll at least give him that - but also savage and unlike Shaco from lore or in-game. For God's sake, he ripped out his own (beating?) heart for no reason whatsoever!

Edit: I guess I can see the new Nutcracko trying to be a circus ringmaster and could fit him but as a nutcracker I would hope for something more than just bringing it back to just him being a clown.
