this segment is not the worst, but the full version of inner life of the cell is terrible. Because they cheated, by reversing highly symmetrical processes, for example:
The artistic director has a ted talk where he talks about how beautiful biological processes are, and it's like no, man, you made it look that way.
If you want a really fantastic video that captures just how messy and random it is I recommend the wehi videos, like the one on apoptosis, where the proteins look way more derpy than the secret life of the cell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR80Huxp4y8 There's a couple of places where they have a hexameric protein where things magically snap into place, but I give them a pass because the kinetics on that are atrociously slow. Let's just say for the sake of a short video the cameraman happened to be at the right place at the right time.
