He’s a maniac, a maniac on the floor
Despite the fact that we know almost nothing about Joss Whedon’s internet musical (they have those now?), “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog,” it now has it’s own fan blog. That may be a little “putting the fan-blorg before the actual blorg” but that’s how the kids roll these days. Ideas that Whedon hasn’t even had yet already have fan forums, erotic fan-fic, crossover slash with “Veronica Mars” and “Save Joss’s Future Idea from Cancellation!” petitions.
His followers (of which I certainly am one) are quite devoted. I can only assume that all 7 season’s of “Buffy” were laden with subliminal messages that will allow Joss to activate us in his time of need. Look out world. If a zombie-like hoard of kids with ironic tee shirts and even more ironic haircuts come lumbering at you, GET OUT OF THEY WAY! It could only mean Joss Whedon is in trouble and rest assured they will kill you to get to him. They might eat you. Depends on what kind of suggestion he implanted.
So anyway, say we (the Whedon Zombie Hoard) are called and we march to his rescue from… an IRS audit or something. Does he say the secret Mandarin Chinese word and deactivate us like so much River Tam, or does he keep as his personal militia of devout killing machines? I, for one, would gladly live out my days as one of his elite death squad. Why do I assume Whedon has so many enemies?
Based on Joel’s wardrobe and Denise’s comment, what guilty pleasures do you indulge in. Mine is typically watching TV shows I hate until they are cancelled. It’s like once I start something I have to see it through to the end despite loathing ever god forsaken minute of it. Past and current offenders include “Dawson’s Creek”(i know), “Enterprise,” and “Smallville.” I’ve come clean. What about you?
UPDATE: Whedon filmed in this guy’s personal super villain lair! He was a home owner from the show “Monster House” that had his home transformed into an evil dungeon. Everything about this story is the coolest thing I’ve ever heard.

I would die for Joss Whedon! Or maybe, I dunno, get bitten by an angry rabid dog or something…
I'm loving the expressions. Especially Joel's in the last panel. I'd like to voice an opinion as well: I know that as an ongoing evolution of the comic, you're still experimenting with styles, and while I'm so on board with everything thus far, I gotta say that I like the way that bespectacled characters (Eli and so on) look with the glasses lenses filled in a la http://hijinksensue.com/2008/03/10/america-voted-...
Anyhoodle… that's all.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Having seen the first Flashdance I have a feeling it couldn't be any worse.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I really don't understand why people like Buffy so much, I never watched it the first time around but I watch the reruns sometimes and it seems like your average drama with maybe a little better writing and wackier situations.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
You laugh, but the Wombies have already struck once. Literally.

Joel's a steel town girl on a saturday night….
also, MZX, listen to the previous podcast for the guys' reasons for viewing and not viewing Buffy.

Godspeed, you fancy bastard is now my new way of saying goodbye to EVERYONE.

There's a little typo in the first line of the comment, "..Joss Whedon’s internet muscial"

I think Firefly would make a better Musical.
Can you imaging the "Dream Reaver" melody (sung to Dream Weaver)

Leave him alone, they're not legwarmers… they're… gym-socks…
On a side note, the christmas-360-box-kid video seems to be the only video on youtube I can't convert to a windows file format and download so as to put the sad Charlie Brown christmas as a backtrack. If anyone can convert this with some form of site please reply, it'll help to win the internet…

I agree. It fits for about any occasion, even funerals.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Quite liking Eli's thoughtful expression in panel 5, then his "Occam's razor" reasoning behind Joel's outfit in the last panel.
And Josh has a long way to go with bare feet…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I would say hot girls + sci fi drama is a good recipe for us geeks.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Joss Whedon is my Master now. <zombie>Joss is boss. Joss is boss. Joss is boss….</zombie>
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Jazz hands? More like Spirit Fingers!
From "Bring It On." Anyone, anyone?
Shut up, it's a good guilty pleasure movie.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I can definitely relate to following a horrible TV series just because I've started it.
For me, it was October Road. I found it through my obsession over Lindy Booth, and it just so happened to be around the beginning of the writer's strike, so I downloaded all the episodes up to that point, and even though they were pretty much appallingly bad, I still kept watching it after good shows came back.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Don't Fear the Reavers?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Yessss Dawson's Creek. Also Gilmore Girls (before Rory whored it up), Bravo shows like Project Runway and Top Chef, The Amazing Race. Movies like "Clueless." Dane Cook's early stand-up (he USED to be good, don't judge me).
Maybe the worst is Kelly Clarkson yesiknowshutupshutupshutup.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I can't figure it out, and it's annoying me enough to finally just ask. Is Kratos…er, Josh really gay, or do you just hate him?
Because, if he really is gay, holy SHIT that makes the Dumbledore comic at least 3x as funny (and it was already pretty god damned funny).
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
My wife and I (voluntarily) watch it whenever it's on TBS or TNT or whatever. So, yeah, I feel your pain.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
you have no idea how much i love this movie
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Oh yeah, he's gay. I never put in the comic "hello, Im gay" because that would never happen in real life. I dont want this comic to be about sex (unless it fits the joke) so Ive just treated it like everyone already knows.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I kind of hoped to coin a phrase with that one.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Dude, I hear ya. I like the look of it much more too. The problem is it makes it hard to make him expressive. I will probably go back to teh filled in glasses.
Anyone else have an opinion on this?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I saw a video of joss getting interviewed during the picketing. Very cool of him to stand with the rest of the writers.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Have you tried the Firefox plugin that lets you download all Youtube vids? I assume you are on a Widows machine, because a mac could do this pretty easy with iMovie.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
"Occam's razor" is the perfect way to describe the logic in that panel. It IS the simplest explanation.
Im sure josh will wrap his feet with tape during the montage.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I'll be the first person to tell you I'm pretty fucking dense, so I hadn't picked up on it.
You guys are MERCILESS! Awesome.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Is a "spirit finger" like "the shocker"?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Clueless gets a free ride in my book. You have to take it in context. Its basically a documentary about the mid 90's.
Gilmore girls seasons 1-5 we nothing to ever be ashamed of. Character development out the yang! Amazing writing and superb acting. It tanked in the last two seasons due to conflicts with the network and the creators departure.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Im sure its a straight to DVD sequel.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Cops has always been one of those shows I feel guilty about watching but can't help it whenever it's on. Without fail every time they end I have a white trash tainted feeling.
Tru Calling was another guilty one. It should have been awesome seeing as it had both Eliza Dushku and Zach Galifianakis but it just wound up being really boring. I kept watching it despite that. Fortunately it was a short lived crap TV obsession. I never quite understood why I stuck with it since I always secretly resented it for preventing a Faith spin-off.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
A boy named Jayne?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
We had a pretty good discussion on the last Podcast about it. A 30 second explanation of Buffy would almost always turn off your average geek. Being forced to watch at least 6 eps from season 3 would get you hooked for life.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Got it! Thanks!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I'd use it at work if I could get away with it.

Im imagining the big finale, "Can't stop the Signal." Its a tear jerker.

We welcome you into the fold. Now have some delicious brains.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
It must be bad since Ive never even heard of it.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Welcome to the Jalopy?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
It's one of those things that if you watch it from the beginning it's easier to understand better. Midway through season 2 it has a kickass plot twist and from there the show never really slowed down (just had some weaker points). The same can be applied to Angel.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I could give you this one if I didn't hate Kirsten Dunst so much. I remember enjoying it guiltily a few years back. I just can't watch it again because of her though.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Agreed on Gilmore Girls. My Mom slowly got me hooked on the show. Now I regularly DVR it.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Stairway to atmo?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
mmm… delicious brains….
I also have to say that you guys are awesome. Treebeard and Sean Connery should have a discussion on your podcast…. maybe they can discuss "Shwords!"
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Like I said, I was intentionally being subtle. Dont feel bad.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Yeah that should go down as one of the great TV blunders. The spin off was going to feature faith and spike going town to town on a motorcycle fighting demons. So bascically they made "Supernatural" instead.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Thats actually the perfect spelling for that word. I wonder if Connery writes it that way.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
The new comic made news on whedonesque.com
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I'm still holding out meek hope for some sort of Spike movie/TV spin-off. He was always my favorite supporting character on Buffy and they transitioned him into Angel perfectly.
I at least have my decent IDW Spike comics and Spike: After the Fall coming up for now.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I think you hit the nail on the head sir. Now Godspeed you fancy bastard!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Funny enough, that song has actually been written and recorded! These guys did it: http://www.myspace.com/fireflyfilk

Don't forget he has to have the Russian words to deactivate you folks. Это курам на смех!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Spike fans can catch James Marsters on Torchwood this season. He plays..durh…a villain. He's not Spike per se, but just as enjoyable to watch.
Torchwood itself is a pretty big guilty pleasure. John Barrowman in general is sex on a stick. Burn Gorman ain't so bad either. And how I love those beautiful Welsh vowels.
Plus, they fight aliens, and that's always fun.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Smallville. Guilty as charged.
I'm just waiting for Eli Stone to take the same path.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Connerific Monologue:
"My Dearesht Anna,

The fifth panel looks quite homoseckshual.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
lol
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I like that look too; I took Eli's glasses in that one to be reflecting the tv screen. How bout a hybrid–seeing some eye behind a reflection? I was looking over a few other recent hijinks and the eyes give me a lot of info that I'd miss otherwise.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to start DVRing it on BBC.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
by the way nice camel toe in panel 2.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Wait a second… Rory whored it up? an ex used to love it so we watched.. but that only lasted like two seasons… I always wanted her to take the route that xtine and britney did. Totally could picture her with the black eyeliner.. and then..
Um where was I again?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Sarah Michelle Gellar + leather pants, Lesbian evil Alyson Hannigan…
I think I rest my case.

Youd be covered in Scottish saliva at the end of that scentence. (this one too)
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
And its one of the only ones that doesnt feature a gay character!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Welcome to the comments.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Is that man-mal toe?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
laughable indeed.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Yes, but not because he's gay. Because it makes me laugh.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
At least you get something out of your comic outing.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I use a Lady Occam because I have sensitive skin.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
She didnt whore it up as much as she made a lot of bad decissions in her early 20's as we all do. She never slept around. Just slept with the wrong guy maybe.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Bring It On FTW!
I have a guilty pleasure thing for cheerleaders, Eliza Dushku and Jesse Bradford
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
The safe word was, anyway. Great job by the way. I'm a bit of a new reader to your comics and I'm loving it.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Have you tried the whole Eyes fill the glasses thing, like milhouse. It might look wierd. I have no idea I'm a computer programmer.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
The next comic had better feature some reference to the song Danger! High Voltage by Electric Six.
I will giggle like a schoolgirl if it does.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
That makes perfect sense…given your outfit in the last 3 panels.
GYFB!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
First read that as "cosmic outing"!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
The purple pants do his package justice.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
oh, I get that. killing Josh just cause he's Josh, I suppose.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Nice! That was a good one.
Hmmm…this one's a stretch, but "Smells Like Browncoat Spirit?"

February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Whedon, Neil Patrick Harris, and Felicia Day. It's like the Holy Trinity of geekdom!
As for guilty pleasures, I'll submit my love of professional wrestling (I work for NWA, albeit behind the camera), Maury 'you are NOT the father' episodes, and Brett Michaels' "Rock of Love".
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I concur. Let's see what Elihouse looks like.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I never got into Buffy, but I did get into the last two seasons of Angel and I totally loved 'em. I had seen enough Buffy to know who the characters were, and it was so well written. Almost like CSI meets vampires. I'd like to get 'em all on DVD.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I use the Occam 3 Power, but with baby-oiled shaving cream so I'm nice and smooth.

February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
your post are hilarious…so funny..got a good read here.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I think you went about it very well. I've had an inkling Josh was of the gay persuasion for a while. But you never really said it, so I just put it away in my mind. That's the best way to go about it.
Of course, doesn't Josh die alot in the comic?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
don't worry joel I won't judge you.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Woah Josh is gay? THAT IS SOOOOOO COOL! It all makes sense now……
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
THanks. I appreciate the support.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I sort of did that but added the eyelids.

I think thats when you broadcast someone's sexuality to the horse head nebula. Its gets there in like 90 million years.

I cant imagine seeing only the last 2 seasons of angel since it relied so heavily on the previous mythology. Time to work back and watch 1-3.
