People seem to be reading the parent post as being critical of the show’s style. The last sentence pretty clearly indicates that it’s not. The poster is saying that Joey’s enthusiasm for what he’s doing is contagious, and is a huge part of the draw to the show. See for example videos of Julius Sumner Miller.

The occasional “ya prick!” or “asteraceae dungeon” remark and the signature sign-off are the icing, not the cake, and the poster is not suggesting that Joey should scrape off the icing. They’re just calling it the icing.

Have a lovely evening, you know the rest.

Thanks! No one seemed to get my point so I guess I didn't frame it very well. BTW, Julius Sumner Miller was my "Bill Nye" growing up. Great stuff. Go fuck yourself!
