#2Almost any of those resumes would get you a job offer from us (Shopify) after the most basic cultural fit evaluation.
Putting something like this together demonstrates a tremendous amount of desirable skills: Design skills, creativity, humour, but most importantly: resourcefulness, the desire to combat status quo, and the ability to ship a project and be proud enough to (literally in this case) put your name all over it.
Here is a great example of an applicant who build an entire Shopify store to get hired recently. Turned out we had the position already filled but we created a new position out of thin air just to get him. He starts on wednesday: http://mikefreeman.myshopify.com/

I think it's perfect for the target audience. Most of them, if not all of them, were for designer positions. This demonstrates their skillset for design, especially if the job is for advertising creative work.
If it's for creating functional user interfaces, maybe not as great, but I think it still achieves the overall goal of demonstrating their skillset for design work.

Some certainly are but they do demonstrate a lot of flair and technique.

#9I may be getting old but if something like this came to my desk for any job besides graphical artists, I would be mildly annoyed.
