I like it a lot!
I could also try to have the jester juggle/play tricks with blue/white/red round bricks.

Lol cool I liked the first gif, i thought it was cute. Maybe make it smaller- like avatar sized? So it can be used for avatars?
Careful- people may start requesting custom gifs!! ;D

These are really great!
If you are going to do a lot of these (and I assume you are, since it seems like it's something you really enjoy), I'd recommend getting a cheap tripod for your camera so that the pictures are taken from the exact same spot every time. It would really clean up the animation a lot I think, and you can find them for $10-$20 online.
Keep up the good work!

These are really fun
If I could offer a suggestion, I'd say maybe you should try to slow down the animations a little. The quick-moving "herky jerky" motions are not very lifelike, but they also are kinda hard to look at for more than a couple of seconds. I have no idea what the limitations of these animated images are, but maybe if you doubled or tripled the amount of frames, it would really make these top-notch!

Nice job, bud! It's much smoother. I like it a lot. The flower idea is good too
Once you get a tripod and a light box, you'll be practically professional-caliber
