History: AmusingInjuries / WebOriginal

* ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'' plays for laughs the many humiliating injuries inflicted upon VillainProtagonist Dr. Horrible by the SmugSuper Captain Hammer. Among a LongList, these include: being hurled hundreds of feet into the air (in a prequel comic), having his shoulder dislocated (again), being choked and slammed repeatedly into a van, having a [[CarFu car thrown at him]], and in a flashback montage, being pummeled repeatedly (including a GroinAttack), given an atomic wedgie, and spun like a helicopter, WWE-style. Dr. Horrible takes it all in stride until Captain Hammer steals his would-be girlfriend, making [[ItsPersonal it personal]].
** The [[DoNotAdjustYourSet Emmy skit]] continues the matter by having Captain Hammer hijack Dr. Horrible's attempted incursion, punch Horrible out repeatedly as he keeps trying to regain the focus, and finally stick him in a headlock to continue his superhero monologuing uninterrupted.
** There are also two subversions. The first is during Billy's conversation with Penny in the laundromat at the start of Act II, when she notices that he's driving a spork into his leg (in an attempt to suppress his anger). He tries to play it off as "hilarious" but it's clearly anything but. The second is when Captain Hammer is [[spoiler:injured by the exploding DeathRay]].
*** The latter instance is played mostly straight though, as he'd ''never'' been injured before (and wasn't visibly hurt here), and ran off crying for his mommy because "I think this is what pain feels like!"
* [[RoosterTeeth RT Shorts]]' "Paper Cut" short. Joel and Matt are both horrified by the spike and screwdriver stuck in each other's head, but only when looking in a handheld mirror to see it.
