I don't understand hate comments. If you can't say something nice then write a proper letter and post it. BTW, do you guys have a PO Box? No reason....
Farscape and especially Babylon 5 have a lot of moving parts. It would be beneficial for them to keep up on these every week. Firefly and Buffy may be easier, but how Target Audience is going work TOS, it's animated series, and movies into all of this is creating concern not hate.
@@clwnprnce1837 Especially Babylon 5. It is not a show to walk away from. The most difficult part is letting this complicated intricate show take its time to set up the moving parts.
@@dunringill1747And the casting you would never expect, too: Walter Keonig is masterful as Bester. Who would have thought Chekov would make a great villain?
So I was at DragonCon after this came out and as you can imagine there were Dr Horribles everywhere. But my favorite was the trio of cowboys that everytime they ran into a Dr Horrible would surround him and sing the Bad Horse song. Brilliant.
I’m actually probably going to DragonCon this year and was excited to see Nathan Fillion on the guest list! I love how he is able to play absolute jerks so well. He was also great as Jacq Snicket
This was filmed during the writer's strike and the directors strike This was Joss basically saying "hey you guys wanna help me make a stupid musical?" Of course they said yes
Nathan Fillion didn’t even need to know anything about the project to get on board. On the commentary (the serious one, not the musical) he said that when he saw Joss was calling him, he picked up the phone and the first thing he said was “the answer is yes.”
I always thought that DH was initially wanting to be "evil" out of frustration, rebellion, and anger -- but was too softhearted at the core to truly commit. And then the events that transpire (not giving him a pass, but one can understand his motivations) turn him to *true* evil. I found it actually more believable than Anakin's fall. To be fair, he had a head start on it from the beginning.
There is a detail in the music that I just absolutely love; in "Slipping", the song Billy sings after he has revealed himself at the opening of the homeless shelter, he sings: "Then I win, then I get everything I ever-
My coworkers and I gathered around the computer for every new episode. I hated the ending, but the more I thought about it, it couldn’t have ended any other way.
I love how this video starts off with you describing NPH as someone with range who can be a serious/sad character, comic relief, or a compelling villian and he is all thee ib this one webseries haha.
I'm so glad that you guys reaction to this! Among my favorite scenes is when the freeze ray wears out and "Captain Hammer" feels compelled to finish the final word of the song he was singing when he was frozen 5 minutes earlier. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!"
Whedon and his friends got together and made a low-budget version of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing just for funzies on a break from filming The Avengers, IIRC. It was pretty good.
Perhaps of some interest: Dr. Horrible's jacket is the one that Simon wears in "Ariel". And the two newscasters are David Fury and Marti Noxon, who are writers/producers on Buffy (where they also sing).
For those who loved Dr.Horrible and don't know, go look for Commentary: The Musical! It's Joss and and the actors doing commentary for the movie, but all in song form. It's Horribly Amazing.
If you enjoyed Dr. Horrible, you should try out the Commentary to Dr. Horrible...which is basically the sequel and has a lot of great music and comedy in its own right.
This is a great project, so creative. Joss Whedon is definitely one of the most creative minds out there for filmmaking. "Dr. Horrible got into the Evil League of Evil and all it cost him was a pretty Penny." was a great summary of what happened. Some of the musical numbers are in my playlist to listen to normally like Brand New Day. This is not my favourite musical but it is up there. I would love to see a second one where he goes all Doctor Frankenstein and tries to revive Penny.
what was really great was when this came out, the villains all had Twitter accounts. And they would interact with each other and interact with you. Because that was a thing to do back then. All the characters on firefly also had Twitter accounts. Not the actors, the characters.
This was delightful! I am a long time fan of Dr. Horrible. My husband and I randomly start singing the Laundry Day song from time to time. I was worried that Alex was going to either choke or spit out his drink a couple times, though.
The amazing thing about this is how it is on the one hand super (pun intended) goofy and ridiculous, but at the same time intensely emotional and impactful. The songs play a big part in pulling that off, I think; music can convey emotions sometimes more effectively than spoken dialogue, in a stylized way. And that rug pull at the final line ("a thing"). Yow!
Re: Joss Whedon’s career, he’s said that he made more money from this than from The Avengers. That’s what you get for being a producer rather than just a writer/director!
Before the MCU, Joss had written some X-Men comics. He already had ties to Marvel. Felicia Day was previously the creator and lead in the web series The Guild, a spoof of World of Warcraft. See the music video they made of "Do You Want to Date My Avatar" from the series. Maurissa Tancheron was in that as well. Her and her husband Jed Wheedon (Jed and Zack are Joss' brothers) were writers on The Guild, co-wrote Dr. Horrible, and later were showrunners for MCU's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Felicia Day and Nathan both acted on Buffy S7 (final season) after Firefly was canceled. The news anchors are Buffy and Angel writers David Fury and Marti Noxon. Marti was essentially in charge of Buffy while Joss was doing Firefly.
My kid & I used to sing along when I was driving her to and from school. She just last week took my Blu-ray to a sleepover. Apparently all her friends dug it.
IIRC, the giant chair in "Brand New Day" was literally something that was just at the house they used to shoot, not something bought or brought in for it. It was just too perfect not to use lol
I remember when this first aired ... all of my friends were going nuts waiting for the next episode (which disturbs me to hear y'all talking about how young y'all were when this released) ... F**K I'M OLD!!! ... !!! It's BRILLIANT ... I've watched it hundreds of times since it first released ... bought it on DVD / BluRay ... bought the CD soundtrack and played it in my car ... downloaded the soundtrack to play on my mobile device. (Can ya tell I'm a BIT of a fan?) There's been talk for YEARS now about a sequel to this series... even after all this time... I would STILL pay money to watch that
The DVD (and I hope the Blu-Ray) has a commentary track with all new songs. It's absolutely brilliant! There's also a nonmusical commentary that's pretty good too.
I highly recommend you making your friend see "Commontary the musical" from the DVD set. If you haven't watched it yourself yet, it is funnier than the original movie.
First video of yours that I’ve caught, and clicked immediately to see so,some reacting to one of my all-time favourites! Thanks for the laughs! 😂 For someone who “hates musicals”, I’d watch Hamilton (on Disney+) if you haven’t already. I’d love to see that reaction!
One of the greatest things ever (I keep hoping we get a sequel what with the new WGA strike). Haven't seen a reaction to this before and now I see Star Trek and Firefly in the list....Subscribed! 👍✌❤ Side Note: This is the production that cemented what I assume will be a life-long crush on Felicia Day. 😍
I hope one of you boyz had the good sense to watch The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. when you were kids. I think you both would enjoy this, somehow, fantastic forgotten show.
I bought the DVD to support it. Captain Hammer shirts would appear on dudes around the convention circuit. I love the Bad Horse letter bits. Great discussion after the viewing. And really cool hearing how this affected Josh into checking out other superhero stuff.
It's so worth listening to the Commentary...which is just as good if not better than the main show. If I recall correctly, Dr. Horrible was created during the writer's strike and was done with handheld RED cameras and mixed and edited at the Whedon household. This was a labor of love and creativity during a downtime for the Hollywood industry. (Almost like a pre-pandemic experiment!)
Sarah Michelle Gellar who plays Buffy on BtVS visited the set and made a little cameo. She is sitting in the audience in the last act, disguised with a black wig and sunglasses.
The first two acts were published free to the public but part three was paywalled… it made a crap ton of money The intro music is what I still use for my son’s ring tone
I took the end shot to mean that he did NOT actually join E.L.E. and become the big super-villain he wanted to be, rather it was all in his head and we see that he lost all drive because of losing Penny and just went into a depressed stupor. Was I overthinking it?
I believe in death of the author so whatever interpretation is best for you! I personally think he puts on the “Dr. Horrible” personality and is the super-villain then comes home and is miserable which I think is a relatable message for anyone who achieves the “fame” they thought they wanted but at a high personal cost. - Josh
My god you guys were in middle school when this came out, I feel so old...I was in my senior year of high school lol Also yeah, it's still freely available, you can buy it but you don't have to pay a cent to watch it, it's a thing Joss did with his friends during the writer's strike at the time just for the hell of it. Which I absolutely love them all for.
The redhead is felicia day, she's used to do a lot of geek and sundry shows because she owned it in 2012, if you like table top games, retro games she's has old co-optitude and tabletop shows. I love them they are a lot of fun. Also you might a web series with her in it called "legend of neil" it's a legend of zelda parody it's kinda funny
And The Guild. There's a video somewhere of some guys coming up behind her and singing Bad Horse. It's the sort of thing that could have been horrific levels of cringe, but she completely plays along and makes it work.
If y'all like musicals with comedy, you absolutely NEED to see Singin' in the Rain, if you haven't already. It is HILARIOUS! It's famous for a reason, but that abundance of humor surprised me the first time I saw it.
After watching the reaction, I feel compelled to again recommend The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals by Team Starkid. It’s very much the same vibe, though it has more of a campy, b-horror feel to it.
Nathan Fillion has gone on record with two rules: 1. He will never do Shakespeare, and he will not sing in a musical. 2. Most important: If Joss calls with a role, you do not give him time to tell you the role, you just say YES. Point proven as Joss called Nathan with the role as a superhero singing in a musical, and he agreed to his role in Much Ado About Nothing before finding it was a modern retelling of Shakespeare. If Joss hit the Big Red Button for a Firefly project, Nathan would be first to answer (and also to swipe everything from the set when filming was done. It would make him 3/3.)
Now you have to watch Buffy or at least the episode "Once More With Feeling". Felicia Day had her own web series call The Guild about a group of online gamers. They did a few music videos including "I'm the One That's Cool" and "Do You Want to Date My Avatar". She also appeared in the final season of Whedon's series Dollhouse. If you want to see yet another side of Fillion, check out Whedon's film adaptation of Shakespeare's " Much Ado About Nothing". Fillion has a small but amusing role and pretty much steals all of his scenes. This was another project Whedon self financed and filmed at his house with many of the casts from his TV series starring. BTW Whedon actually wrote comics for Marvel. His run on Astonishing X-Men is very entertaining.
I haven't seen this in years (and I too have it on DVD)! Thanks for reminding me how freaking funny and entertaining (and sad) it is. I love the songs, so now you know I'm going to have to listen to it the rest of the day. 😉
Honest to G*d truth, was thinking the other day you guys should do this one. Love it! "My Eyes" is one of those songs I play when I need a emotional boost.
At the risk of repeating myself … since you enjoyed this, I do think you guys would enjoy watching more of the Buffy series, especially after it really starts to ramp up in the second season. So much of what makes Dr Horrible great was first honed and perfected by Joss during the run of Buffy.
This is actually my favorite movie, unironically. I can recite the whole thing even without it playing. Like three days ago I watched it six times in a row for no reason. (Oh, and for the "who's gay" line: this was shortly after the media outed NPH) Also, there's an unofficial sequel on RUclips you should check out!
I loved this when it came out, tried to watch it with my wife, and just because it was on the Internet, she dismissed it and declined to watch. I may try again now. Felicia Day is great all around, and I mainly know her teaming up will Will Wheaton on a RUclips channel where he did his “Tabletop” gaming show, and also as the fairy from the Internet series “Legend of Neil.”
She was also great on Supernatural (they so under-used her on that), The Magicians, Buffy, and her web-show The Guild (where she does more singing for promo for the show).
I wonder if Joss, way down inside, has a real fantasy of creating a genuine, Broadway style, non super hero universe , musical? Has anybody ever asked him?
This was a fun little break from Star Trek, I love all the one offs! And you two diving into the Whedonverse!! 👍 I hope for two things.. that you continue Farscape as it is my all time favorite. And that you continue Buffy! See you two in the next video!
Don't know if you guys are taking votes from the youtube comments, but it'd be great if you could react to all of Buffy. I know you were a bit lukewarm on the pilot, but the show gets to some really high high-points eventually. Relatedly, there's a very sneaky special cameo in the scene at the homeless centre opening ceremony that you might have missed first time round...
I don't understand hate comments. If you can't say something nice then write a proper letter and post it. BTW, do you guys have a PO Box? No reason....
Farscape and especially Babylon 5 have a lot of moving parts. It would be beneficial for them to keep up on these every week. Firefly and Buffy may be easier, but how Target Audience is going work TOS, it's animated series, and movies into all of this is creating concern not hate.

How funny. A friend of mine dressed as Dr. Horrible and got a photo op with Nathan.

That's actually kinda sweet lol, I love goofy positive fandom interactions like that
The poignancy of “Here lies everything, the world I wanted at my feet” as he’s staring down at Penny’s body just gives me goosebumps every time.
Dr. Horrible got everything he wanted, and it only cost a Penny. I'm sorry, I can't help myself...
This was filmed during the writer's strike and the directors strike
This was Joss basically saying "hey you guys wanna help me make a stupid musical?"
Of course they said yes
Nathan Fillion didn’t even need to know anything about the project to get on board. On the commentary (the serious one, not the musical) he said that when he saw Joss was calling him, he picked up the phone and the first thing he said was “the answer is yes.”
...and then instead of a stupid musical they made an epic tragedy!
I always thought that DH was initially wanting to be "evil" out of frustration, rebellion, and anger -- but was too softhearted at the core to truly commit.

Yup. I remember thinking holy shit, this was an actual legit supervillain origin story. I am so disappointed it never got a sequel.
Dr. Horrible is an incel.
There is a detail in the music that I just absolutely love; in "Slipping", the song Billy sings after he has revealed himself at the opening of the homeless shelter, he sings:
"Then I win, then I get
everything I ever-
Trivia: Whedon has commented that he made more money from Dr. Horrible than he did directing The Avengers.
That’s a stunning fact. How could he not have gotten a % of Avengers gross?
My coworkers and I gathered around the computer for every new episode. I hated the ending, but the more I thought about it, it couldn’t have ended any other way.
I love how this video starts off with you describing NPH as someone with range who can be a serious/sad character, comic relief, or a compelling villian and he is all thee ib this one webseries haha.
“Bad Horse” was my ringtone for years, and this may have inspired me to bring it back lol
The short version of the Horrible theme is still my ringtone.
@@donsample1002 Mine is the Buffy theme now, so I really didn’t stray far :)
I'm so glad that you guys reaction to this! Among my favorite scenes is when the freeze ray wears out and "Captain Hammer" feels compelled to finish the final word of the song he was singing when he was frozen 5 minutes earlier. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!"
Dr. Horrible was my introduction to Felicia Day. After this came out I had to watch her web series "The Guild".
Doctor Horrible got everything he wanted, and all it cost him was a Penny.
Whedon and his friends got together and made a low-budget version of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing just for funzies on a break from filming The Avengers, IIRC. It was pretty good.
Yup. Shot the entire play in like 12 days. He financed it himself, too.
I think it’s terrific.
Perhaps of some interest: Dr. Horrible's jacket is the one that Simon wears in "Ariel". And the two newscasters are David Fury and Marti Noxon, who are writers/producers on Buffy (where they also sing).
One of the Firefly props was inverted for use in his lab.
Yes, in the Buffy musical, David Fury was the mustard guy and Marti Noxin was the parking ticket lady.
This is such a great musical; the storytelling and ending are just so emotional.
I’m still sad Dr. Horrible 2 never got made.
Doctor Horrible received everything he ever wanted, and all it cost was a single Penny.
Considering that this was made during a writer's strike in 2008, it's held up pretty well.
This is why I keep urging them to return to Buffy. Whedon quickly achieves this level of quality in the second season of Buffy!
For those who loved Dr.Horrible and don't know, go look for Commentary: The Musical! It's Joss and and the actors doing commentary for the movie, but all in song form. It's Horribly Amazing.
This is one of my favorite musical anythings and I'm not really the biggest on musicals. Glad to see you guys check this out.
If you enjoyed Dr. Horrible, you should try out the Commentary to Dr. Horrible...which is basically the sequel and has a lot of great music and comedy in its own right.
@@WereMike Holy crap, thank you, Mike! I watched this about the time it came out, but have not heard about the commentary at all. Thanks so much~

I would love to see a second one where he goes all Doctor Frankenstein and tries to revive Penny.
I think that was the plan - until the downfall... Which sucks because now would be the perfect time, with Writer's strike 2 going on.
Thanks Target Audience, I am going to be singing these songs all weekend . 😉🎤❤
Dr Horrible got everything he ever wanted. And it only cost him a single Penny.
YES!!! I’m so glad y’all did this. It’s one of my absolute favorite musicals and no one EVER reacts to it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
what was really great was when this came out, the villains all had Twitter accounts. And they would interact with each other and interact with you. Because that was a thing to do back then. All the characters on firefly also had Twitter accounts. Not the actors, the characters.
"Captain Hammer will save us." A lot like the last sentence about Winston in 1984, "he loved Big Brother"
This was delightful! I am a long time fan of Dr. Horrible. My husband and I randomly start singing the Laundry Day song from time to time.
I was worried that Alex was going to either choke or spit out his drink a couple times, though.

It’s cool you guys covered this movie it tends to fly under the radar.

IIRC, the giant chair in "Brand New Day" was literally something that was just at the house they used to shoot, not something bought or brought in for it. It was just too perfect not to use lol
It just doesn’t matter how many times I see it, I’m always tearing up at the end
This is an underappreciated bit of work. It's easy to forget how short it is, it feels much more epic.
The Commentary Musical is amazing and almost better than the songs in original movie. Also fun to watch it on DVD along with the movie.
Thank you! I never knew this existed
It is pure genius and hilarious.
Dr. H got everything he ever wanted, and all it cost him was a Penny
"My eyes" is 100% my favorite song from this movie! It's not only super smart lyrically but also just a beautiful song!
One of the best things in real life is sharing something you love with a good friend, and seeing them love it to. :)
Alex, I was WAITING for the moment when Nathan Fillion first pops onto the screen to see your reaction! You did not disappoint. 😄😆
Bad Horse = he's SO bad... he even signs off on his phone calls!!
I remember when this first aired ... all of my friends were going nuts waiting for the next episode (which disturbs me to hear y'all talking about how young y'all were when this released) ... F**K I'M OLD!!! ... !!!
It's BRILLIANT ... I've watched it hundreds of times since it first released ... bought it on DVD / BluRay ... bought the CD soundtrack and played it in my car ... downloaded the soundtrack to play on my mobile device. (Can ya tell I'm a BIT of a fan?)
There's been talk for YEARS now about a sequel to this series... even after all this time... I would STILL pay money to watch that
I heard about it between the releases of Part 1 and Part 2. It made news because the initial release had so many viewers it crashed the server.
Oh. My gosh! I didn't know I needed this in my life. Thank you so much for this reaction.
Jed Whedon and his wife Marissa (producers on this), went on to produce 7 seasons of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I always loved that his name was Captain Hammer, because he's such a tool. (Sorry. Lol.)
The DVD (and I hope the Blu-Ray) has a commentary track with all new songs. It's absolutely brilliant! There's also a nonmusical commentary that's pretty good too.
I highly recommend you making your friend see "Commontary the musical" from the DVD set. If you haven't watched it yourself yet, it is funnier than the original movie.
Really glad you reacted to Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along. I love this musical. Where's Star Trek?
I can't express how much the success of Dr. Horrible contributed to the switch to streaming and online content.
First video of yours that I’ve caught, and clicked immediately to see so,some reacting to one of my all-time favourites! Thanks for the laughs! 😂

The guys from South Park wrote Cannibal the Musical which spoofs so many musical tropes, it's amazing. Similar, you might enjoy.

There is still talk of another one and all of the principles have agreed to return the last it was reported.
In addition to the musical commentary, there are also the Evil League of Evil auditions sent in by fans, several of which are well worth watching.

You guys should try Repo the Genetic Opera. It's outlandish, and its a great deal of fun.
The best songs. So many bangers
Yay!! Fun fact (at least to me) my super talented cousin is in the extra material with his preacher puppet. 😉
I haven't seen this in years (and I too have it on DVD)! Thanks for reminding me how freaking funny and entertaining (and sad) it is. I love the songs, so now you know I'm going to have to listen to it the rest of the day. 😉
Honest to G*d truth, was thinking the other day you guys should do this one. Love it! "My Eyes" is one of those songs I play when I need a emotional boost.
I'm still so sad that the sequel never happened and seems likely to not ever happen...
At the risk of repeating myself … since you enjoyed this, I do think you guys would enjoy watching more of the Buffy series, especially after it really starts to ramp up in the second season. So much of what makes Dr Horrible great was first honed and perfected by Joss during the run of Buffy.
This is actually my favorite movie, unironically. I can recite the whole thing even without it playing. Like three days ago I watched it six times in a row for no reason. (Oh, and for the "who's gay" line: this was shortly after the media outed NPH)
Also, there's an unofficial sequel on RUclips you should check out!
the breaks in the songs are killing me... i keep starting to sing along and then snap
I loved this when it came out, tried to watch it with my wife, and just because it was on the Internet, she dismissed it and declined to watch. I may try again now.
Felicia Day is great all around, and I mainly know her teaming up will Will Wheaton on a RUclips channel where he did his “Tabletop” gaming show, and also as the fairy from the Internet series “Legend of Neil.”
She was also great on Supernatural (they so under-used her on that), The Magicians, Buffy, and her web-show The Guild (where she does more singing for promo for the show).
I know Felicia Day from Supernatural, great to see her in this!
16:37 The two news casters were two writers on Buffy. The lady is Marti Noxon and the gent's name slips my mind at the moment.
David Fury
I am dressing as Dr. Horrible and Bad Horse with my horse this year, wish me luck!
Josh: I'm going to have to try not to sing along...
Me: You did better than me, Josh. Damn it, I lasted 5 seconds and started singing along, lol!
I wonder if Joss, way down inside, has a real fantasy of creating a genuine, Broadway style, non super hero universe , musical? Has anybody ever asked him?
I'm still hoping you'll continue with "Buffy"....
Also, since it was mentioned early in the video, I highly recommend "Starship Troopers"
We will continue
WOULD YOU LIKE TO.KNOW MORE?
Consider reacting to the commentary: the musical. It is brill.
This was a fun little break from Star Trek, I love all the one offs! And you two diving into the Whedonverse!! 👍
I hope for two things.. that you continue Farscape as it is my all time favorite. And that you continue Buffy! See you two in the next video!
My friend made me watch Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog; needless to say we are no longer friends.
Don't know if you guys are taking votes from the youtube comments, but it'd be great if you could react to all of Buffy. I know you were a bit lukewarm on the pilot, but the show gets to some really high high-points eventually.
Relatedly, there's a very sneaky special cameo in the scene at the homeless centre opening ceremony that you might have missed first time round...
The songs in _Commentary!_ the musical commentary track for this, are even better. It’s a very meta commentary on commentaries.
