Much thanks for posting this! Personally, I purchased the series on iTunes, which essentially helps with the production costs, I'm sure - hopefully the word of mouth, and continued access to how good this series is, will inspire more folks to buy it. If you watch this show, and if you do like it, please, purchase it! As a random, low-budget work, and a proof of concept, making this a commercial success will inspire more and more folks to do the same variety of thing!
All my favorite quotes are in this act: "What a crazy, random happenstance!" "...like with pie." "Oh goodness - look at my wrist - I gotta go!" Dr. Horrible is love.:)
I love Dr. Horrible. For people who are complaining about not paying the actors and so on, I'd just like to point out that anyone who's awesome enough to watch Dr. Horrible probably owns the DVD. And will buy any special editions that come out. And has been to see it in some public theater. We just like to have it accessible too :)
Neil Patrick Harris was actually in Rent at one point, I believe, and a couple of other musicals. I remember he performed on some show years ago as part of one. Also, I love that his character definitely replaces the server in the background in the shelter. Just saw that!
I love this so much, but I really don't want to buy it on itunes. "Billy, you're driving the spork into your leg" "O goodness! Look at my wrist, I need to go" BEST LINES EVER!
I would love to support everything he does like I previously did, buying all his DVDs (Buffy, Angel), some twice (like Firefly and Serenity), the CDS (Buffy, the musical), the comics (Serenity, Buffy)...the calendars, the game, the books. You name it. But I have tried to buy it. I have even lied to Istores saying that I was living in the Estates, trying to pay through Paypal but the moment they checked they saw that my Paypal account was connected to a Non-american Visa...You are our only hope.
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomG! i am in LOVE with the music from this thing. is it possible to just get a soundtrack, or do i hafta buy the whole shabang?
words r a little of but still awesome!"what a crazy random happen stance!" "peace will not really peace!" "captin hammer threw a car at my head!" those are my fave parts
Oh heavens, Fillon as Hammer was COMPLETELY unexpected. Not only were they troping as if Horrible's superhero nemesis were going to be an unseen character, but then he actually shows up and it's Nathan freakin' Fillon?! I particularly like his first entrance. The music changed tone immediately. The whole scene was set up to show an "oh no!" moment, except the sudden disaster was the unexpected arrival of a superhero. And I am holding out for the DVD.
There is so much that is moving and hilarious about this musical. The writers' strike led to some good things. I love the look he gives Penny before joining her on the laundromat bench.
buffy and this are by the same producers, whichmay also explain why Dr. horrible is a singing thing- I think they had alot of fun doing the musical episode of buffy.
Thanks for this. I purchased it on itunes but my computer crashed. I'm getting it on DVD soon, but small town, so its harder to get. Thankfully i have this to get me through. Even if its out of sync! :)
Way out of sync, but still very nice to see, as I have the songs stuck in my head and really wanted to listen to them. As I'm in Japan (and don't use iTunes) I'll have to wait until they're available in some other format. (DVD would be best!)
when i wrote this the last i heard joss whedon had taken the episodes off hulu because he hadn't been able to pay any of the actors for the work they had done so was planning to make money back by selling cds and dvds the original plan was to allow them to be seen for the first 5 days after episode 1 was put online so would everyone lay off
You can stream this on their official website too because independent projects like this aren't made for profit, they're made for people to watch and enjoy. No need to get all 'up in arms' about it.
Actually i think it's good that the video is out of sync. I mean - it's enough to let you see how cool the 'sing along blog' really is - but it's NOT a substitute for getting it from iTunes or on DVD... once that's out. If you ask me, that is the use for a youtube upload. Not piracy, but supporting the fandom and viral popularity...
People, please support the efforts of the artists and pay a measly $4 for all 3 episodes on iTunes. It's way inexpensive, and will encourage Joss Whedon and others to make more like these.
Seriously, boys and girls. Buy that shiznit, for it does rule most mightily. Though I wish the whole act wasn't up, I'm glad that the out-of-sync is going on. Buy it, and maybe we'll be lucky enough to get a sequel, or a miniseries, or some other awesomeness from this crew. But really, buy it kiddies. I will blast you with my Orbital Death Beams if you fail to comply with my demands. And leave ten million in unmarked bills at the foot of the Captain Hammer statue at 3:17 Tuesday morning.
It happened to me once, the out of sync with a video I posted once so I had to repost it again. It´s not your problem...probably it lies on you tube. Anyway we are so thirsty overseas, we are having serious withdrawal problems...that we don´t mind the substitute. I have just tried to cheat my way into istores changing my residence to the States and no...it didn´t work...I cannot wait to have everything!!!
So I bought all 3 parts on Itunes downside I can't put them on my mp3 player being I don't own a Ipod and stupid DRM. And no one has loaded part 3 onto TH-cam.
seems the lag gets worse the further into the video you get. Man, reupload the videos. This is painful, I count over 5 seconds of lag from sound to video.
Neil did his own singing. DO a search for "neil patrick harris sweeney todd" to see him doing an excellent job playing Toby in a 2000 Sweeney Todd concert
Anyone in America can view it for free online legally on Hulu, what's the difference? I wouldn't have purchased it if I didn't get to see it online first.
There are pretty easy ways of tricking the internet, and thus iTunes, into believing you're from the US. I mean seriously, this is the internet, it doesn't matter that you live in a different country because that means jack to the speed of light. I'm also having withdrawals because I want to save my purchase for the DVD. I don't think I'm going to be able to hold out.
It's out of sync - apart of the songs, wich are always great to listen to, the rest is just unwatchable. Bummer :/ Thit is easily one on the greatest films of 2008. And I'm talking right there with The Dark Knight, Wall-E, and that kind of fun stuff. Any word about the sequel?
Guys, I love Dr Horrible, but please don't post these videos on TH-cam! It costs hardly anything on iTunes to get a legitimate season pass for this. This isn't a blockbuster production. Every lost sale counts on projects this small.

I can't stop watching these videos. It's a work of art. The fact it wasn't done for the money just furthers that truth.
All my favorite quotes are in this act:
"What a crazy, random happenstance!"
"...like with pie."
"Oh goodness - look at my wrist - I gotta go!"
Dr. Horrible is love.:)
all of act 2= GOLD...these songs are now among my favorites for musicals.
"Captain Hammer threw a car at my head."
Best line ever.
My mom, who also watches this, sent me an icon that said that.
This video made me cry. Totally unexpected. I love Felicia from "WatchtheGuild" and Neil-Patrick was great.

@Bottery
Its definitely a jar, and I'm pretty sure its peanut butter.
I've never heard of this before, but so far I'm LOVING IT! NPH! Lol Barney from How I Met your Mother.
I love this so much, but I really don't want to buy it on itunes.
"Billy, you're driving the spork into your leg"
"O goodness! Look at my wrist, I need to go"
BEST LINES EVER!
all this music i think should be turned into a musical i really like all these videos
that last song
is what reallly got me.
this is my favorite webshow.
episode three is sad though.
=(

i absolutely love dr. horrible.
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomG!
i am in LOVE with the music from this thing.
is it possible to just get a soundtrack, or do i hafta buy the whole shabang?
I'll definitely buy when available on iTunes UK...
words r a little of but still awesome!"what a crazy random happen stance!" "peace will not really peace!" "captin hammer threw a car at my head!" those are my fave parts
what a crazy random happenstance...lol i love it!

Bahahaha, I love Dr. Horrible serving the soup in the background
Thanks for pointing that out. I never noticed.
Whedon brothers for the win.. I'm so buying this.
Man, I was really hoping that this wouldn't end up on TH-cam. Joss would probably be disappointed.
I totally agree! Good that it was a really all their own vocals. I loved it when willow sang 'i think this line's mostly filler!!' lol
That would be from the "Once More With Feeling" episode of Buffy.
This is Doctor Horrible. (0.o)
OH MY GOD! At the soup kitchen, Dr. Horrible is the person serving soup in the background. He replaces the real guy at 1:43 That's cool
There is so much that is moving and hilarious about this musical. The writers' strike led to some good things.
I love the look he gives Penny before joining her on the laundromat bench.
@Sonix21 He wasn't saying the hammer isn't on his shirt, he was saying it wasn't his fists
"listen close to everybody's heart"
"I believe there's good in everybody's heart"
#bipolar
WHY MAL WHY!!!! YOU WENT FROM FIREFLY TO CAPTAIN HAMMER!!!! *dies inside*
buffy and this are by the same producers, whichmay also explain why Dr. horrible is a singing thing- I think they had alot of fun doing the musical episode of buffy.

This part has the best music i think.
i love penny's song in the laundromat
psyche! i love it! SO good! lol.
Please upload parts 1 and 3!
when i wrote this the last i heard joss whedon had taken the episodes off hulu because he hadn't been able to pay any of the actors for the work they had done so was planning to make money back by selling cds and dvds

Reminds me of Spike's "Let Me Rest In Peace" song
hey, totally get the unsynced audio problem, people have been ripping on my Act I, don't worry, ;D
btw, did you get asked to take it down?
The sound is out of synch, but this is nice to have on in the background for listening.
Billy: I want to be an acheiver... like Bad Horse.
Penny: The Thouroughbred of Sin? o_O
Billy: I meant Ghandi...
XD
INCREDIBLY OFF-SYNC.
Excellent movie, horrible [Pun Intended.] upload.
People, please support the efforts of the artists and pay a measly $4 for all 3 episodes on iTunes. It's way inexpensive, and will encourage Joss Whedon and others to make more like these.
Love this series but what have you done to it? The synch between the Video and Audio is way off and seems to get worse...not cool:(
Seriously, boys and girls. Buy that shiznit, for it does rule most mightily. Though I wish the whole act wasn't up, I'm glad that the out-of-sync is going on. Buy it, and maybe we'll be lucky enough to get a sequel, or a miniseries, or some other awesomeness from this crew.

"Billy.....you look *horribly* familiar."

Probably not many. I just like to help out.
Hey, if your opinion is different than mine, does that make it wrong? I think not.
Did he play the dentist in Little Shop of Horrors? They look similar, and they have the same mannerisms...
seems the lag gets worse the further into the video you get. Man, reupload the videos. This is painful, I count over 5 seconds of lag from sound to video.
Neil did his own singing. DO a search for "neil patrick harris sweeney todd" to see him doing an excellent job playing Toby in a 2000 Sweeney Todd concert
audio and video don't match
but that doesn't matter because it's so great
ROCK!!!!
You can also watch it for free on the official website................
Audio's always been out of sync on youtube, but this is insane!
I support buying it...however, youtube is an awesome option when itunes decides to not work
do you know where I can download just the songs? thanks .
Anyone in America can view it for free online legally on Hulu, what's the difference? I wouldn't have purchased it if I didn't get to see it online first.
i find it so funny when hes serving soup
I wouldn't if I were you this is no longer free after today and this will likely get pulled off youtube anyway.
why there is shift on visual and auido ???
I'm almost positive he did his own singing. He has the Broadway musical experience for it. :)
if she had done willows singing voice in 'once more with feeling' i would hav fallen for it!! it would SO suit Alyson Hannigan big time!
i swear, is that christopher mcdonald in the background right before billy wearing the mustache?
You know what would be really impressive? If captain hammer built a castle for the homeless to live in. >_>
I'm not sure they're going to be pleased that you uploaded this... :/
There are pretty easy ways of tricking the internet, and thus iTunes, into believing you're from the US. I mean seriously, this is the internet, it doesn't matter that you live in a different country because that means jack to the speed of light.

Pirate! Seriously, this was an indie effort and people should respect that and support them. Not rip them off.
"Do I even KNOW you?" :P
has this been released yet?
This would be perfect if the sound synced with the video.
Yea, but I just think it's cool that he got in the soup kitchen and acted like a worker lol
Neil Patrick Harris OWNS! I just wish there would be more than 3 acts :(
What about Hulu?
wow he pirated it. its the same thing as watching it on hulu, besides, europeans cant buy it on itunes.
plus, Joss didnt do this for the money
Like pie!
i guess this video will disappear from youtube by tomorrow. but thank you! :)
i agree with cerulean winter below.
why do comical villians always want to take over australia? lol.
HAHHA i don't mind. i think Dr Horrible would be an awesome prime minister. i'd vote for him over the guy we got atm.
NPH doesn't blink for like 12+ seconds, method acting, this ain't no "b" movie folks.
Istg, my US History teacher looks exactly like Felicia Day
is it me, or is the audio track a bit off?
anyone else see the frames out-of-synch w/audio?
AAArrrrrghhhhh!!!! American iTunes only and I missed Act III help, someone please!
"There will be blood
And it might be yours
So go kill someone
Signed Bad Horse"
the audio visual is WAY off for me
poor Billy :(
I think that's why the sync is off...
It's out of sync - apart of the songs, wich are always great to listen to, the rest is just unwatchable.
Bummer :/
Thit is easily one on the greatest films of 2008. And I'm talking right there with The Dark Knight, Wall-E, and that kind of fun stuff.
Any word about the sequel?
LOL i never noticed before. :P
Loads of it.
this is so fucking good! I actually sing along! :D
This is genius, but it'll probally get taken down by Whedon
God the lag is fucking horrid. I got halfway thru and had to give up. Thanx for posting but no more if they're all like this.
Guys, I love Dr Horrible, but please don't post these videos on TH-cam! It costs hardly anything on iTunes to get a legitimate season pass for this.
This isn't a blockbuster production. Every lost sale counts on projects this small.
Hey, it's cool. I actually gave you a thumbs up cause I knew you'd get so many thumbs down for expressing your opinion. haha
