15 years ago, the WGA strike led Joss Whedon, Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion to create ‘Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog’. In honor of the current WGA strike, I submit the same to help us through this difficult time. Writers, we stand with you.

Joss Wheadon turning out to be a piece of shit broke my heart more then anyone else. He was a fucking god to nerds.
Nah I’ve watched it once and that was enough
Can’t watch anything Joss touched anymore. I can see his grease all over it now.
Wait. So you are posting content created during a previous writer’s strike as support for the current writer’s strike? Isn’t that backwards?
[*we do the weird stuff*](https://youtu.be/Of9kHpCv1ts?t=1701) gets stuck in my head every couple years and I love it.
Well, I guess TV can’t get much worse.
This is LITERALLY the first thing I thought of when I heard about the new strike, because it’s the only thing I remember from the old strike.
If there’s another strike going on, I hope at least we get more independent, creative works like Dr. Horrible. I’d like a break from the formulaic sequels and reboots to 20-year-old franchises for a while, thanks.
This seems horribly familiar.
If only this this were cut down to a five minute movie. Too long. Attention span is not like it was years ago.
People in show business are their own worst enemies. This shit makes me wish Pinkertons broke up the WGA strike.
I didn’t know this. I’ve watched Dr. Horrible a few times and love it. It also led me to find The Guild way back.
Good god, that was 15 years ago! Time has flown by…
I have the DVD of this that I got signed by Felicia Day at PAX one year when she was there and I met her.
[Here’s the 8-bit version of Act 1](https://youtu.be/9_9x9m8F1b4)
I watch this at least a few times a year. And I show it to anyone that will watch. I absolutely love this movie. First time I saw it was with a friend who showed it to me while we were both on ecstasy. So many emotions!
Wow, I clicked to see NPH sing a funny song and stayed glued through the entire thing. Can we have more of this magic?
Oh! Goodness! Look at my wrist!
Never forget the Amy winehouse cake
Ahhhhh felicia day

Wait no we don’t, why does cinema for the past 5 years looks like it was written exclusively by children?
Ahhhahhahha ahhhhaahhhaa! So that’s, coming along..
I love Dr Horrible, watch it every few years again and it’s always a hoot.
The musical commentary for this is really funny, and it’s on Spotify. Sadly, at least now, Whedon is obviously a large part of the commentary, but the entire cast gets to shine. Instead of just talking about how it was made, they sing songs about it that are just as funny and catchy as the show itself. But yeah, a little harder to separate art from artist since he himself is there talking (and singing) about it.
I try to watch this once per year. Holds up nicely!
Under-appreciated gem 🔨
I always jump into work while don’t or talking with Fillions part. Just imminent danger in the middle of it, me!
I don’t know whose dick Felicia Day sucked to get a career, but I wish he had better taste.
I would also like to mention the excellent DVD commentary, [Commentary: The Musical!](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBBA2AB825227A947)
It’s been 15 years!? Fuck Im old.
I don’t support them. Movies and television have been absolute shit lately. At every turn they’ve produced uninspired nonsense that’s often loaded with odious political grandstanding. We could all use a break from the steaming dump they’ve been putting out. Replace these fools or let it all burn. At this point, I really don’t care which.
I prefer [Dr Steel](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Steel), which not only came first but may have been ripped off by Joss..
Damn our writers are all on strike because they don’t want us to use chatgpt. Guess we’ll HAVE to use chatgpt until they’re back.
Wait a minute…. this is… woah we don’t need them at all. We just need Chris who isn’t striking to prompt and review this shit.
This came out in parts released every week or so and the anticipation at the time was real. It was such a weird cultural force. Released only online (absolutely still unique still in 2008), and and the fact that it could be wildly popular changed how people thought about media online. Also, it fucking slaps. Whenever I say balls!” It’s derisive and in NPH’s voice.
