Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is a Musical Web Original Dramedy Vlog Series co-created and co-written by Joss Whedon, and also funded out of his own pocket as a more-or-less direct result of the Writer's Guild strike of 2007-2008. Neil Patrick Harris stars as the title character, an aspiring supervillain trying to get into the Evil League of Evil who finds himself entangled in a Love Triangle with his arch-nemesis (Nathan Fillion) and a girl he knows from the laundromat (Felicia Day) in a story told in three acts.The series was released for free from July 15 to July 20, 2008. Afterwards, it was placed on iTunes for purchase (USA, Canada and UK only) and for free with ads on Hulu (USA only), with the revenue from both going to pay the cast and crew. Overwhelming response crashed the servers, and vigorous international response prompted the team to make the videos viewable internationally. A DVD was released in December 2008.There's an an official site with liner notes for the show's various songs, merchandise links, and other goodies. There are also several prequel comics: three half-length ones on the Dark Horse MySpace page for Captain Hammer, Moist, and Penny, a full-length print one-shot for Dr. Horrible himself, and a 3/4 length comic featuring the ELE and Johnny Snow that's exclusive to the trade paperback collecting all the previous comics, all written by Zack Whedon.There is also a fanmade prequel, Horrible Turn, that has been recognised by Whedon as "itsy kitschy glitzy". Whether that is to be taken as a compliment remains to be seen. Also on the fan front are the very well-received fanmade sequel Dr. Horrible's Unofficial Sing-Along Sequel and Doctor Octoroc's 8-bit version of the musical.Rumors swirled about a sequel for some time before being officially confirmed by Whedonopolis. Production keeps getting delayed due to Whedon's commitments to a few little superhero films you may have heard of, so the best that can be said about the plans is "Hopefully, someday".The DVD commentary takes two forms: a traditional commentary, and Commentary! The Musical, which is, yes, a whole other musical. Also see the zany theories page for the show — after you've seen the three-parter.The series received its TV premiere on The CW on October 9, 2012. Then-CW president Mark Pedowitz also "said he hoped the CW would also have the inside track if Whedon opts at some point to continue the series", according to Reuters.From this point forward, there are unmarked spoilers. Read after watching the three-parter.

Fangirl: In-universe example - Captain Hammer has a trio. Well, two fangirls and one Camp Gay fanboy. In the end, they change sides to Dr. Horrible, because Hammer has been defeated, in a nastily satirical twist that helps to prove Dr. Horrible's point.

Card-Carrying Villain: Dr. Horrible, who wants to prove his worth as a supervillain to be allowed to join the Evil League of Evil. Not to mention the actual members of the actual Evil League of Evil, like Bad Horse, of course, of course. Ironically, he epitomizes the opposite of that trope in all other respects.

Heroic BSoD/Villainous BSoD: Depending on who you interpret as the hero or villain. Dr. Horrible twice: first at the beginning of Act II after Penny and Captain Hammer have hooked up, and then the very last shot of Act III. Captain Hammer, running away whilst crying for "someone maternal" and then later seen in therapy.

Not-So-Harmless Villain: Although a Technical Pacifist and Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain throughout Act I and II, and held in contempt by Captain Hammer, it's Hammer's pursuit of Penny that spurs Dr. Horrible to finally go all in on the Evil business, converting his Stun Ray to a Death Ray to defeat his nemesis once and for all. While it's Hammer who ends up pulling the trigger, the result of this (Penny's death) is the final step to drive Dr. Horrible to true supervillainy.

Genre Savvy: Doctor Horrible has a voice coach for his laugh, and respects Bad Horse's work on his terrible Death Whinny. He insists it's about standards. He uses the laugh appropriately later. He has a stunning moment of savviness failure when he spends too long monologuing in Act III, giving the Freeze Ray time to run out of juice.

He Had a Name: Played for Mood Whiplash in the closing montage, with newspapers announcing "Girlfriend of Captain Hammer Murdered" and "Country Mourns Whats-Her-Name". It's intended to demonstrate how the Crapsack World cares more about superheroes and supervillains such as Hammer and Horrible respectively than real-life people like Penny.

Villain Song: Dr. Horrible: "My Freeze Ray", "A Man's Gotta Do", "Brand New Day", and "Slipping" are the classic set of "I Want" Song, "I Am" Song, "I Am Becoming" Song, and triumphant Evil Gloating song. Captain Hammer hijacks "A Man's Gotta Do What A Man's Gotta Do" to insert his signature boasting, and then sings "Everyone's A Hero" as a demotivator song disguised as an inspirational speech. Since he's the antagonist, they serve the role of villain song.

comment
Stealth Pun: Moist went on a double date with Bait and Switch. He thought he was going to end up with Bait, but... One of the members of the Evil League of Evil is named Fury Leika. Needless to say, she's a woman ("Hell hath no fury like a Woman Scorned"). Not only that, but "Laika" was the name of a famous dog. Put that together with the fact that she wears a wedding dress and most men are likely to think of her as, well, a bitch. Dr. Horrible talks about how he successfully transported gold bars from the bank to his lab. He holds up a Ziploc bag full of the gold, which has turned out liquefied (the pun is "bullion" for metal bar/"bouillon" for soup). That one gets a subtle lampshade from the Doctor when he says it "smells like cumin". Captain Hammer is introduced as being a corporate tool. Also, since "the hammer is [his] penis", he's Captain Penis. And he's a dick. During the second Bad Horse song: "Your humiliation means he still votes (nay/neigh)!" Two of the songs on the sound track are called "Horrible Theme" and "Horrible Credits". "It's two Rs actually, H-O-R-R... yeah". What kind of journalist would misspell "Horrible"? The kind who's writing down "Whorable".

Crapsack World: The world at large doesn't seem to care all that much about right and wrong. Captain Hammer is declared a hero just because he fights for the system; nevermind all the people he hurts. Even worse, after Captain Hammer is humiliated all of the "sheep" who idolized him switch sides to worship Dr. Horrible - clearly they only care about backing a winner, good or bad.

 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: The Freeze Ray, mentioned throughout Act I and II as something of a joke, comes back with a vengeance in Act III. Penny sings, "So keep your head up Billy buddy" to Dr. Horrible in Act II. Later, when Dr. Horrible gate-crashes the Captain Hammer statue unveiling at the end of Act III, he pep-talks himself into killing Hammer, singing, "head up Billy buddy", thus clueing in Penny that her friend Billy is the villain.

Ironic Echo: In "Penny's Song", she sings "So keep your head up, Billy buddy" to try to cheer Dr. Horrible up and get him to be more optimistic. Then in "Slipping", Horrible repeats the line... to build up his courage to kill Captain Hammer (This also clues Penny in that her laundry buddy and Dr. Horrible are the same person). In "Slipping", Dr. Horrible sings triumphantly "Then I win, then I get everything I ever" in anticipation of his victory. In the next song, "Everything You Ever", that phrase instead becomes a eerie, almost mocking refrain about being careful what you wish for. In "Freeze Ray", Billy sings about how "I'm the guy to make it real/the feelings you don't dare to feel" regards Penny. In "My Eyes", Penny sings "He looks at me and seems to know/the things that I'm afraid to show", but she's talking about Captain Hammer. A smaller one, but in Act I Dr. Horrible informs the audience to "tell their friends" about the Freeze Ray. In Act III he says the same, but to "say it was Horrible".

Captain Hammer is a colossal dick, but nobody apart from Dr. Horrible seems to pick up on it. In "Slipping", Horrible opines that it's because society desperately wants heroes and isn't able to accept it when they don't live up to the starry-eyed ideal. Penny, for her part, isn't exactly charmed by Hammer's personality, but only really understands his true colors in "Everyone's a Hero", when he boasts crudely about sleeping with her.

Karma Meter: The colour of Doctor Horrible's goggles. In Act I, they're reflecting some light, and look white. As the story unfolds, the light gets reflected less and less often, and the goggles turn darker and darker as Horrible's personality does the same. Finally in Act III, the goggles are completely black. Interestingly, just as "Everything You Ever" starts, light momentarily reflects off the goggles again. Last trace of goodness?

Gaining the Will to Kill
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_2881d45e
comment
Gaining the Will to Kill: Dr. Horrible insists at first that, while he wants to rule the world, he has no desire to kill people, because killing "lacks style". The reality is that he's too timid to try, a problem that's quickly rectified when Captain Hammer steals Penny to spite him. The song "Brand New Day" illustrates that there is, indeed, something that can push him to homicide: jealousy. Act III follows immediately by showing him converting his stun ray into a death ray. The ending, however, subverts the trope in that he never does kill anyone directly.

Easter Egg

Easter Egg: On the DVD, in the scene selection, no less. Act II, 'Moist Dries Out'. It gives you a full-screen close-up of the ELE seal, with Dr. Horrible's picture and a countdown from five before it auto-directs you back to the main menu. It actually has a purpose... try pressing 5 or 6 on your DVD remote during the countdown. There are two other similar Easter eggs as well, accessed the same way: try pressing Enter during the "Act 2" title and during the "What Just Happened?" special feature when Felicia says "Mariah Carey", and more countdowns will appear. Again, pressing 5 or 6 yields interesting results.

 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_326a44a1

Create Your Own Villain: It is heavily implied (and outright stated in the prequel comics) that Captain Hammer is the reason why Dr. Horrible is a villain - Hammer believed anyone nerdy or intelligent was destined to become a Mad Scientist, and his preemptive first strikes against the nerdy Billy are what drove him to villainy. Act III cements this when Hammer's attempt to murder Horrible with his own death ray (which goes badly) drives Horrible over the edge into true evil.

There's also the comic detailing the beginnings of Dr. Horrible, showing how he was inspired to be a supervillain after seeing a Mad Scientist successfully defeat a superhero while being called Einstein (a nickname used by an ignorant bully) by the mocking crowd and him becoming the official nemesis of Hammer.

Hammerspace: Dr. Horrible produces the Death Ray from beneath his coat in Act III, despite there being no evidence of it being there in earlier shots. While not an actual use, it's also worth noting that Captain Hammer pulls the notecards for his speech in Act III out of his oversized glove.

Collateral Angst: Penny dies to fulfill Dr. Horrible's quest to kill someone to join the Evil League of Evil, despite taking away his hope in the process. Her disposable status is even lampshaded by the news coverage of the death of "Captain Hammer's girlfriend, Whats-Her-Name". She's also the only genuinely good character in the show, sealing the crap firmly into the Crapsack World that Dr. Horrible will now rule over.

Summer (Captain Hammer punches Dr. H. in the face repeatedly, pausing to smile for a camera-toting tourist in a Hawaiian shirt). Autumn (Dr. H. is hung suspended over a pile of fallen leaves in a brutal Atomic Wedgie). Winter (Captain Hammer spins through a snowfall with Dr. H over his shoulders in mid-TKO as a charity Santa Claus rings his bell).

One of the members of the Evil League of Evil is named Fury Leika. Needless to say, she's a woman ("Hell hath no fury like a Woman Scorned"). Not only that, but "Laika" was the name of a famous dog. Put that together with the fact that she wears a wedding dress and most men are likely to think of her as, well, a bitch.

Lampshaded when Penny states that he must have a deeper layer that's totally different from the one on the surface, Bily replies that he sometimes there's a third, even deeper level, and that one's exactly the same as the top surface level (like pie).

Twitchy Eye
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_4c30f8f0
comment
Twitchy Eye: A nervous squint (so pronounced as to resemble a Tourette Syndrome tic) which our protagonist suffers from both as Billy and as Dr. Horrible, so it's not merely an affected character quirk of the Dr. Horrible persona; happens repeatedly throughout the first two Acts (less so during the third). Some examples: When Dr. Horrible discusses Penny with Moist, expressing his hope that he will soon make "audible connection" with her. After Horrible receives Bad Horse's letter and declares that he will go ahead with his heist to steal the Wonderflonium to prove his worth as a villain. During his conversation with Penny on the street, the twitch becomes almost spasmodic, as he tries to reconcile the fact that he's finally talking with her with the fact that he's trying to pull a heist and she's distracting him. During the scene where he video-blogs the tale of his latest failure, about how Captain Hammer threw a car at his head, he looks mostly resigned. Then, after a pause he rallies himself and strikes a firmly (fake?) upbeat tone, "Not to worry though! Because I'm..". But that's the exact moment when his tic starts up again, belying his optimistic tone. At the laundromat, when Penny touches Billy's face to cheer him up but then aborts their Almost Kiss by suddenly blurting out, "Anyway that's what Captain Hammer says..".. Upon hearing his rival's name Billy flinches, hunches his shoulders and squints his eyes hard. Moments later, Billy runs smack into Captain Hammer's chest and tries to avoid meeting Hammer's eyes. After Penny introduces them, Hammer greets him with mock affability, "Oh! Billy, the laundry buddy! Well it is very nice to meet ya!" and then adds, "You look horribly familiar". at which point poor Billy's nervous eye twitch becomes really pronounced. When Captain Hammer tells Billy (Dr. Horrible) that he is going to sleep with Penny. Although this is more of a traditional eye twitch of rage. A big one in the middle of "Slipping", though that may just be him closing his eyes in frustration at the stupidity of the world around him, and it happens again at the "Billy buddy" line, as a sign that he's not quite all evil... yet.

BSoD Song
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_512b00e0
comment
BSoD Song: Everything You Ever, the final song in the film. It's lyrically a victory song, but done to the tune of a funeral dirge, for obvious reasons. Neil's Turn from Commentary is also a comedic take on this.

Power Incontinence: Moist is always icky wet due to his profuse sweating, and it's bad enough that when he brings Horrible the mail, the top few pieces are soggy. He fights a losing battle with the lid of a preserving jar, too. And to complete the trifecta, the finale has him dropping the money bags he's supposed to be carrying during the bank heist.

Triumphant Reprise: Played straight and subverted simultaneously in the finale: in the instrumental bridge of "Everything You Ever", reprises of "Brand New Day" and "Dr. Horrible's Theme" are both audible — and indeed the Doctor has triumphed and is welcomed into the Evil League of Evil. Unfortunately, it's also subverted because Horrible's triumph is Billy's tragedy: The death of Penny and possibly of Billy's nerdy but sweet persona.

The Theremin of Mad Scientist is audible at the very end of "Everything You Ever" and through the closing credits. The Harp of Sweetness is in the mix for most of Penny's songs, especially "My Eyes". And then, appropriately enough, in a minor key thrumming in the background during "Everything You Ever".

Penny later recognizes Billy/Horrible after he does a Call-Back to her encouraging song in Act II.

The prequel comic showed him using it to make a steel beam that Captain Hammer threw at him teleport away. We only hear from Dr. Horrible that Captain Hammer threw a car at his head. We never see it. Subverted twice, in that we see the Freeze Ray and the Death Ray in operation in Act III.

Technical Pacifist: Literally. Dr. Horrible does not want to kill anybody. He also shows disdain for people who don't seem to respect life. He likes to build various ray guns (although with one exception they're all nonlethal) and fantasizes about taking violent revenge on Captain Hammer, but outside his daydreams he hesitates to actually follow through. He shoots into the ceiling instead, while encouraging the onlookers to run away. Not only does he not want to kill anyone, but when Captain Hammer "saves" Penny by shoving her into the garbage using super-strength after Billy has stopped the van ... Billy is the only one to show genuine concern for her safety. When Dr. Horrible freezes Captain Hammer and launches into his showstopper Villain Song, he urges the crowd to run; ostensibly so that they can tell the world the evil scientist is winning the day, but... When holding his Death Ray on a helpless Captain Hammer, Dr. Horrible sings the line "No time for mercy!" as a cue for him to pull the trigger. But he hesitates, clearly uneasy about killing him. He even sings more or less the same line again ("Here goes no mercy!") to take a second (unsuccessful) stab at it. When the Death Ray begins sparking ominously, Horrible attempts to warn Captain Hammer. Hammer refuses to listen, despite the room still having bystanders in it, among them his supposed long-term girlfriend Penny.

Almost Kiss

At the laundromat, when Penny touches Billy's face to cheer him up but then aborts their Almost Kiss by suddenly blurting out, "Anyway that's what Captain Hammer says..".. Upon hearing his rival's name Billy flinches, hunches his shoulders and squints his eyes hard. Moments later, Billy runs smack into Captain Hammer's chest and tries to avoid meeting Hammer's eyes. After Penny introduces them, Hammer greets him with mock affability, "Oh! Billy, the laundry buddy! Well it is very nice to meet ya!" and then adds, "You look horribly familiar". at which point poor Billy's nervous eye twitch becomes really pronounced.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Despite all of Dr. Horrible's attempts to be evil, it's Captain Hammer who causes all of the really bad things to happen. In Act I, he smashes the device Dr. Horrible is using to remotely control the courier van, making it careen out of control and almost kill Penny. In Act III, when he slams his fist into Dr. Horrible's face and sends him flying backwards, the Death Ray goes flying, too. The sudden impact on the floor causes it to begin sparking ominously. Hammer doesn't notice, and, despite Horrible's warning, seeks to kill the Mad Scientist with his own weapon. But when he pulls the trigger, the Death Ray explodes. The story is about largely Captain Hammer's part in "breaking" Dr. Horrible as a person.

Hyperaffixation: Parodied. In his prequel comic, after concocting a new way to fight Captain Hammer, Dr. Horrible tells Moist to "Fetch the Horrible Mobile!" ...which is just Moist's perfectly ordinary car. Moist wishes the Doctor wouldn't call that because it's "a very reliable car". Captain Hammer also claims to own several Hammer-themed items, including the Hammer-Cycle and the Hamjet, although we never see them.

Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Bad Horse is literally a villainous horse. Moist's "superpower" is uncontrollable sweating. Moist's double date with Bait and Switch ended with him and Switch. Should've seen that one coming. Dr. Horrible's Stun Ray has "Stun Ray" written on it. When he changes it to a Death Ray, he tapes over the word "Stun" with "Death".

Villain with Good Publicity
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_87bb6874

Villain with Good Publicity: Captain Hammer is a colossal dick, but nobody apart from Dr. Horrible seems to pick up on it. In "Slipping", Horrible opines that it's because society desperately wants heroes and isn't able to accept it when they don't live up to the starry-eyed ideal. Penny, for her part, isn't exactly charmed by Hammer's personality, but only really understands his true colors in "Everyone's a Hero", when he boasts crudely about sleeping with her. Inverted with Dr. Horrible, the actual villain. He can't earn respect from anyone despite his best efforts, but when his death ray accidentally kills Penny, he starts getting on the cover of newspapers as the most evil villain around — which is good for him, considering it cements his place as a high-ranking member in the Evil League of Evil and sends fear into the hearts of everyone who meets him.

The Law of Conservation of Detail: Does it ever. The series is about the length of a standard hour-long TV show, and in that time it manages to fit in every bit of character development, deconstruction of various tropes, Foreshadowing, stealth humour and all the other minute details which are mentioned on this page. As of October 2016, there are 307 tropes on this page for 42 minutes of musical (and more on the subpages). Every last second always counts.

Didn't Think This Through: When Dr. Horrible announces his plans to attack the mayor on his blog, he is easily thwarted by the police and Captain Hammer because... he announced it on his blog.

 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_8d6bb79b

The Good Captain: Subverted by Captain Hammer. Penny drops a Lampshade Hanging by saying, "I wonder what you're Captain of..". That could also be interpreted as a Shout-Out to Firefly, another show written/conceived by Joss Whedon (in which Nathan Fillion, who plays Captain Hammer, is the captain of a spaceship).

Designated Hero and Designated Villain: Invoked; thanks to the deconstruction mentioned above, Captain Hammer has a heroic demeanor but is a misanthropic, anti-intellectual, pompous Miles Gloriosus with Super-Strength who prefers to beat up and humiliate Dr. Horrible rather than turn him over to the police; while Dr. Horrible is a classic Well-Intentioned Extremist who is too introverted to pull off any serious crimes until Captain Hammer makes it personal. Best demonstrated at the end of "Slipping". Doctor Horrible has finally decided to quit pulling punches and turns his stun ray into a death ray to kill his nemesis. When he has his chance to kill the helpless Captain Hammer, he hesitates. When the tables are turned, Captain Hammer pulls the trigger without a glimmer of mercy.

Then he tries to use Dr. Horrible's broken Death Ray, causing the explosion that killed his girlfriend, turned his nemesis into a true villain, and made him to feel pain for the first time in his life.

Split-Personality Takeover: One possible interpretation of the ending speculates that in the wake of Penny's death, Billy was consumed by the Dr. Horrible persona. If so, it would add a new layer of subtext to why during the end credits, Penny's peaceful melody gets swiftly drowned out after a few seconds by Dr. Horrible's march.

In Act III, the final switch from villain to supervillain occurs: from Dr. Horrible's previous iconic outfit consisting of white labcoat, white boots and gloves to a blood-red labcoat and black gloves. He keeps his goggles, but now they've become Scary Shiny Glasses, covering his eyes.

Leitmotif: Dr. Horrible's theme from the act openings shows up played normally in the middle of "Slipping" as the song switches from him philosophizing to being in full villain mode, and as a harsh version with heavy downbeats in "Everything You Ever" as he suits up in his new red-and-black uniform. The same Lonely Piano Piece melody shows up in both of Penny's solos "Caring Hands" and "Penny's Song", and then in the credits where it gets overtaken/drowned out by a loud, heavy version of Horrible's theme. The background chords of "Slipping" play when Dr. Horrible is throwing the remote onto the courier van, and later in the credits.

Cannot Talk to Women
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_9fdb1baf
comment
Cannot Talk to Women: Billy is so painfully shy that his first on-screen attempt at talking to Penny at the laundromat ends with him mumbling unintelligibly, and his second attempt ("Love your hair".) becomes a Did I Just Say That Out Loud? moment for him when she turns around in surprise. He backpedals hastily, "No, I- I, I...love the air". At one point he tells Moist that he is so close (surely only a few weeks at most!) to achieving "real audible connection" with Penny. He never gets around to actually telling her that he loves her.

Final Speech
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_a0d9c2f3
comment
Final Speech: Penny's Last Words are to ask if Billy is alright, and to reassure him that "Captain Hammer will save us". Brutally ironic considering that she'd just seen both Hammer and Billy show what's Beneath the Mask, and in her dying moment she chooses Hammer. Whether she was delirious or not, her attempt to comfort Billy ends up twisting the knife in the cruelest possible way.

Mood Whiplash
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_a4c37cbe
comment
Mood Whiplash: The series begins with a light comic tone that begins hinting at darkness in Act II, to abandon the comedy (almost) entirely by the end of Act III. Although Dr. Horrible singing: "Say it was (H/h)orrible! Spread the word! Tell your friends! Tell them the tale. Get a pic! Do a blog!" amidst the carnage is still pretty funny (especially in light of the title of the musical). He even pauses mid-rampage to make sure a reporter is spelling his name correctly. Not to mention the headline which reads "Country Mourns Death of What's-Her-Name" during the Downer Ending. Mood Whiplash, indeed.

Just Between You and Me: In Act II, at the laundromat, when Captain Hammer catches Billy before he can slip out the door and then, while Penny is otherwise occupied, has a little chit-chat with him, revealing that he knows that Billy is Dr. Horrible and also that he noticed Billy's/Horrible's feelings for Penny. All the while having his arm around Billy's shoulders in what looks like a jovial, friendly buddy gesture between guys... until you look at Billy's face frozen in fear and impotent rage. In Act III, Dr. Horrible's song "Slipping" is the musical equivalent of the supervillain's triumphant monologue. His two-minute song gives his Freeze Ray time to run out of power and release Captain Hammer...

Morality Chain: Penny to Billy, made clear in "Penny's Song". Notice that his blinking tic crops up most often when he's dealing with the Billy/Dr. Horrible moral dichotomy, and is crucially visible during the "Head up, Billy buddy" line during "Slipping" as he works up the resolve to shoot Captain Hammer. He truly starts turning evil.

Not only does he not hesitate to shoot a helpless opponent in the face, but according to the Captain Hammer: Be Like Me! comic he considers everyone who is a "freak" or a loner or just good at science and math a potential villain and danger to society. Although not explicitly stated, it's heavily implied that Billy was a good kid until Hammer's "first strike" assaults on him turned him vicious.

Good Colors, Evil Colors: Reversed (Or is it?) — Dr. Horrible wears white, Captain Hammer wears black. Dr. Horrible's red suit at the end of Act III is definitely an example of this. So are Dr. Horrible's new black gloves, which now match Captain Hammer's black gloves from earlier, hinting that Dr. Horrible is now as evil (and hypocritical) deep down as Captain Hammer.

Hope Spot: Dr. Horrible has a moment of triumph as he survives his gun exploding without harm, and Captain Hammer has fled, broken and humiliated. But then he turns around, to see the fallen Penny.

Water Source Tampering: In "My Eyes", Billy mopes that mankind has gotten so crazy that if he poisoned the city's water main it might not change a thing. In their prequel comic, the Evil League of Evil actually does try to poison the city's water main.

Musical Spoiler: In Act III, after the Death Ray explodes and Captain Hammer runs off screaming and crying like a little girl, Dr. Horrible picks himself up from the floor and starts to grin with the sudden realization that he has won after all. And then he turns around, and sees... And everything goes very quiet. No music, not a sound. Just his expression, changing to horror.

Shout-Out
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out / Mythology Gag: Possibly. During their duet, Penny asks Captain Hammer (played by Nathan Fillion) what exactly he's supposed to be the captain of. Also, the head of the Evil League of Evil is "Bad Horse". And the company who puts out most of Joss Whedon's comics (including the Captain Hammer comic) just happens to be called "Dark Horse". Okay, could be coincidence, but still. The newsreaders in Episode III were played by David Fury and Marti Noxon, also from the Evil League of Evil, "Professor Normal" is played by Doug Petrie and "Fake Thomas Jefferson" by Drew Goddard. All were writers for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The "do not bounce" warning on the Wonderflonium is ...horribly similar to the warnings that go along with "Happy Fun Ball" from Saturday Night Live. In the Song "Brand New Day" Dr. Horrible sings, "And she may cry, but her tears will dry, when I hand her the keys to a shiny New Australia". This is a nod to Superman II, and Lex Luthor telling Zod he will help them defeat Superman in exchange for A little parcel of land...Australia! Penny's "..and become florists?" comment when Billy isn't paying attention. Becoming a florist is stated as an indicator of some sort of implied mental derangement at least twice in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Dead Bowie being in the Evil League of Evil might be a shout out to The Venture Bros., where David Bowie (voiced by not David Bowie) is the head of the Guild of Calamitous Intent. This isn't the first time Neil Patrick Harris has played a role in Doogie Howser, M.D.. There's mention of a Deputy Mayor in Act I as well. There seems to be a Serenity model hanging in Billy's house, framed rather conspicuously in the background of any shot of him vlogging. According to the DVD commentary, this is a silhouette formed by several pots and pans hanging up and is quite unintentional. The final scene is extremely reminiscent of Barney's Face–Heel Turn flashback in How I Met Your Mother (season 1). Penny's clothing during the "Penny's Song" scene looks a lot like Snow White's.

Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion: The first time you hear "Freeze Ray", but before you know the actual rhyming scheme. "Laundry day / see you there / underthings" and then the next word is "tumbling" rather than "underwear", which rhymes with "see you there".

Musical World Hypotheses
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_ce515b47
comment
Musical World Hypotheses: Mostly Alternate Universe Hypothesis plus All In Their Heads, but still a bit of the Adaptation Hypothesis: Judging from the half-embarrassed way in which Billy stops singing when Moist enters, Freeze Ray seems to imply he really is singing, hence Alternate Universe, though the laundromat scenes are All In His Head. However, it's possible that they were going through his head while he was at the laundromat and that he really did say "Love your hair" out loud, pass it off as a comment about the air, and leave with the rest of the song playing in his head. Both versions of the Bad Horse Chorus are Adaptation Hypothesis: Billy actually is reading the letter, but the singing cowboys are an artistic touch to make the reading of the letter more fun. They show up at the end, though, and Johnny Snow interacts with them in the comic, so maybe Bad Horse is just so awesome that every letter comes with them. Brand New Day and Everything You Ever are All In Billy's Head, inner monologues that are clearly not heard by the other characters around in the scene. My Eyes is an All In Their Heads duet, with no other characters present in the scenes being aware of either Billy or Penny's singing. Caring Hands, A Man's Gotta Do, Penny's Song, So They Say, Everyone's a Hero and Slipping are all probably Alternate Universe.

Peer Pressure Makes You Evil: Billy wants to be an achiever, he longs to be taken seriously, and he believes the only way he can attain his goals is by becoming a supervillain. After he applies for membership in the prestigious Evil League of Evil, Bad Horse puts the metaphorical thumbscrews on poor Dr. Horrible, demanding that Horrible must prove that he is ruthless enough... or else.

Anti-Villain: Dr. Horrible's motives may seem evil — he wants money and power — but it's less out of a desire for chaos and destruction than it is a desperate attempt to achieve respect, his desire to genuinely make the world a better place (though he doesn't outline any kind of clear ideology and even admits he's not even sure how he plans to go about doing so, but his musical numbers outline that his benevolent intentions are genuine) and his unrequited love for Penny is certainly not evil. He uses evil means (robbery and terror) because he has been driven to them by folks like Captain Hammer, who feels that anyone who's just like Dr. Horrible has to be a villain.

Musicalis Interruptus: Multiple events and situations lead to people repeatedly being unable to completely finish their songs. Act I has Moist interrupting "My Freeze Ray", Dr. Horrible interrupting "Caring Hands" with a scream of surprise, and Captain Hammer stealing "A Man's Gotta Do" Act II has perhaps the most interesting one, where Penny interrupts her own song due to her Almost Kiss. Act III finishes on a high note (pun intended) with the Freeze Ray interrupting Captain Hammer's "Everyone's a Hero" (who is determined to finish anyway) and Billy interrupting his own "Slipping". During the end credits, Penny's soft and melodic theme is quickly drowned out by the rising theme of Dr. Horrible.

Lyrical Dissonance: Used intentionally throughout. Bad Horse's songs sound rather heroic, but it was about an evaluation of evil and murder as a last resort respectively. "Brand New Day" is an upbeat rock anthem about plotting murder. "Everyone's a Hero" is an inspirational anthem that actually insults its audience. "Everything You Ever" is a (supposedly) triumphant victory song with the cadence of a dirge.

Presumably it's a Saturday, given Billy's stated observation of and familiarity with Penny's pattern, and Penny's having said the shelter can open on Monday. He's plotting against Captain Hammer as Dr. Horrible, so he has no idea she was waiting for him, and might even have picked him.

He Who Must Not Be Seen: Bad Horse, until the very end. Also, Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The "Thoroughbred of Sin" is revealed to be... yeah, a real horse. Apparently, the actors who played the Evil League of Evil's members did not know that Bad Horse was a real horse until the scene happened.

Shrinking Violet (the male version): Billy. Although he is smart and quite handsome, he is bitter, cynical and painfully shy around women. He wants to be an achiever, but things never work out the way he wants them to. He dresses like someone who does not wish to draw attention to himself, and his circle of friends seems to consist of his buddy Moist. He invented his alter ego Dr. Horrible, a cooler Mad Scientist version of himself, who unfortunately gets bullied mercilessly by Captain Hammer. Not only that, but the perpetually squicky Moist appears to have a more active social life than he does. How depressing is that?

Late to the Punchline: People have reported only getting the Bait and Switch gag later, and/or after repeated viewings. The same is true for the Fury Leika joke and gold bullion and other Stealth Pun jokes. Nobody gets the Conflict Diamond reference. She's apparently a bad date. The commentary notes that the picture of Penny that Dr. Horrible holds when he sits in the big chair being taken from a Stalker with a Crush vantage was less noticeable than expected.

It is a league of evil, which is itself evil. However, it most definitely captures the spirit of the trope.

Beware the Nice Ones: Dr. Horrible starts out as a Technical Pacifist: he refuses to fight an enemy in the city park due to the presence of children, he refuses to kill saying it isn't "classy", and he even keeps up this policy against his nemesis Captain Hammer, despite the constant physical abuse he gets from the Captain. This holds up until the end of Act II, when Hammer reveals that he's dating Penny for no other reason other than because Billy is in love with her. This leads into the song, "Brand New Day", where Horrible states that he's finally snapped and found the motivation to kill.

Heroes Want Redheads: Ok, so the term "hero" is debatable but both Doctor Horrible and Captain Hammer go for Penny. Even if Hammer does just want to screw with Horrible (not to mention screw with Penny.

Brick Joke
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_fe0330fb
comment
There's a reverse Brick Joke, where the punchline happens before the set up. In "Slipping", Dr. Horrible pauses his song for a second to tell a reporter "Yeah, it's two 'R's, H-O-R-R-I..". Then, in the prequel comic explaining how Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer first met, a newspaper headline reads "Captain Hammer Confronts New Villain: Doctor Horible!" Evidently, he was being careful not to let them make a mistake the second time around.

Happy Ending
 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video) / int_fec2b522
comment
Happy Ending: Well, that depends on how you look at it. Played straight: Billy finally achieves his ambition. He defeats Captain Hammer and Dr. Horrible becomes a member of the inner circle of the Evil League of Evil. Subverted: Billy's Death Ray explodes in the hands of Captain Hammer. The shrapnel hits Penny and she dies without him ever getting a chance to say how he feels about her, let alone goodbye.

Talking Is a Free Action: Averted in "Slipping", as singing that song wastes all of the time his Freeze Ray had to hold Hammer in place.
