Telephone call for Dr. Horrible
The first thing I thought of when my friend Dawn told me about this “hilarious new web-series” called Dr. Horrible was the They Might Be Giants song Mr. Horrible.
And strangely enough, the song Mr. Horrible would sync up perfectly with the theme of the new web-series Dr. Horrible.
Oh, you haven’t seen it yet?
It’s seriously one of those things that you have to give a few minutes to kick in…but it’s pretty damn funny.
Neil Patrick Harris (yup, Doogie Howser) plays a wanna-be evil superhero who meets his nemesis Captain Hammer and they wind up battling over the girl. (Spoiler: “The hammer is my penis”)
And it’s a great watch.
Act I is thirteen minutes long. Act II is about the same. And I simply cannot wait for Act III (which launches next week)
Dig it, dawgs.
Doogie Howser? Maybe so, but he’s been Barney on How I Met Your Mother for the past three years or so. For a sitcom, that show is pretty excellent, in no small part to NPH.
