*** The second time, the music seems to start out emanating from Dr Horrible's phone before transitioning into the score: Either Dr Horrible had programmed his phone to play the Bad Horse theme song as a ring tone when he receives a call from his number, or Bad Horse is just so powerful his music just finds a way to start playing whenever he wants to contact you.

* Pretty much all of Captain Hammer's various reactions during ''My Eyes''. First he's clearly uncomfortable while he and Penny are at the homeless shelter (especially after a homeless man comes over to talk to him), then he's seemingly terrified of swans in the park, and lastly his super strength means he has absolutely no trouble driving a pedalo by himself...but he still can't stop it from going round in circles.

Added DiffLines:

* When Penny tries to tell maybe there's more to Captain Hammer than meets the eye, Billy brings up that maybe there really isn't and he really is like the first impression he makes deep down too. "Like with pie."
* Dr Horrible managing to give a credible look of bemusement at Captain Hammer's "[[{{Metaphorgotten}} gently wafting curtains]]" line -- whilst being strangled, along with an appropriate sound that ''would'' have come out as a FlatWhat.
* Dr Horrible bemoaning the fact that Operation Heist didn't go as planned at the end of "A Man's Gotta Do": BALLS! SmashToBlack.
* "Did you notice that he threw you in the garbage?"
** "What heist were you watching?"
* ''"The Evil League of Evil is watching so beware/The grade that you receive will be the last we swear!/So make the Bad Horse gleeful, [[{{Squick}} or he'll make you his mare]]/You're saddled up/There's no recourse/ Hi-ho Silver!/Signed, Bad Horse."''
** ''"He saw the operation you tried to pull today/, but your humiliation means he still votes [[{{Pun}} neigh]]/, and now assassination is just the only way/, there WILL be blood, it might be YOURS, so GO KILL SOMEONE!/ Signed, Bad Horse."'' Keep in mind the second was a ''phonecall''.
* How can you mention Dr. Horrible here without this?
-->'''Captain Hammer:''' She's giving it up. She's giving it up hard. Because she's with Captain Hammer. And these... ''[holds up his fists]'' ...are not the hammer.\\
''[he leaves the frame for a moment while Billy stares after him]''\\
'''Captain Hammer:''' ''[returns to the frame]'' [[DontExplainTheJoke The hammer is my penis.]]
** Watch Neil's facial expression during that scene: he's biting his lip, clearly trying to keep from laughing.
* Billy gets one just before this, when he learns Captain Hammer is going to stop by the laundromat:
-->'''Billy:''' ''[tries to look at his watch, but isn't wearing one]'' Oh goodness, look at my wrist, I gotta go.\\
'''Penny:''' But what about your clothes?\\
'''Billy:''' ''[turns back, glances in washer]'' I don't love these. See ya!
** Even better is that the washer Billy opens is a different one than the one he and Penny were sitting on before, which implies he ''didn't even check the right washer''.
* Half the exchanges between Penny and Billy at the Laundromat:
-->'''Billy:''' I want to be an achiever. Like Bad Horse.\\
'''Penny:''' The Thoroughbred of Sin?\\
'''Billy:''' ...I meant Gandhi.
* Later:
-->'''Penny:''' Billy?\\
'''Billy:''' Yeah?\\
'''Penny:''' You're driving a spork into your leg.\\
'''Billy:''' So I am. Hilarious.

* "[[LooseLips I also need to be a little more careful about what I say on this blog]]. Apparently the LAPD ''and'' Captain Hammer are among our viewers."
** "...He threw a car at my head." In case there was any doubt that Billy is TheWoobie, they made it funny.
* "Do you need anything dampened or...made soggy?"
* The entirety of the song 'Everyone's a Hero' by Hammer. Yes, the entire damn thing. It goes SerialEscalation Music/TomLehrer-style - just when you think Captain Hammer can't be more of an [[{{Jerkass}} asshole]], he is!
--> "So I thank my girlfriend, Penny/Yeah, we totally had sex..."
** Also:
--->[[CueCardPause "I hate the homeless...ness problem that plagues our city.]] Everyone deserves the basic....You know what? I don't ''need'' tiny cue-cards."
** And watch Penny's face while he's singing, she seems to be thinking WhatAnIdiot, then [[{{Jerkass}} What a Jerk Ass]].
* Let's not forget Hammer's first exchange with Horrible:
--> '''Hammer:''' It's curtains for you, Dr. Horrible! [[{{Metaphorgotten}} Lacy, gently-wafting curtains.]]
* The look on Hammer's face during this exchange in "So They Say":
-->'''Captain Hammer:''' This is so nice/I just might sleep with the same girl twice/They say it's better the second time/They say you get to do the weird stuff...\\
'''Hammer's Fanclub:''' We'd do the weird stuff!
** It implies that every girl he's ever slept with has dumped/been dumped by him before they could do it again.
** Everything the fanclub says is gold.
--> So they say he saved her life\\
They say she works with the homeless and doesn't eat meat\\
[[DieForOurShip We have a problem with her!]]
* Also, pretty much all of the [[WebVideo/CommentaryTheMusical "commentary"]]... the fact they wrote a ''musical'' (pseudo) commentary possibly counts as a Funny Moment... but especially the "sea shanty" exchange.
-->'''NPH:''' Songs can hurt like a fist.
* And immediately after the opening number:
-->'''NPH:''' A muscial blog is a zany idea, that's wacky! Joss, where did it come from?\\
'''Joss Whedon:''' It came from pain.\\
'''NPH:''' Uh, let's not talk to Joss. He's scary, and confusing.

* {{The reve|al}}lation of [[spoiler:Bad Horse]]. Admit it, how many expected [[spoiler: ''he'd actually be a horse'']]?

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC3v_Q1RAyE Felicia Day gets pranked]] by a group of people cosplaying as the singing Bad Horse chorus.
* People have started to call their boy/girlfriend's "bae". Cue the IncrediblyLamePun.
-->'''Penny:''' After years of stormy sailing/ have I finally found the bay?
* Billy declares his application is strong, in part due a letter of condemnation from the deputy mayor. This opens so many questions. Did Billy ask the deputy mayor to write a letter describing how much s/he doesn't appreciate all Dr Horrible does? Is there a letter starting, 'I'm being forced against my will to write this letter, although, despite the force, I do genuinely condemn Dr Horrible.'? Did s/he pen an article decrying Dr Horrible's antics, and Billy decided to send a newspaper clipping in? Whatever the answer, it's hilarious to ponder these things.
** Also, because the letter was from the ''deputy'' mayor, that implies that Dr. Horrible wasn't horrible enough to warrant a letter of condemnation from the mayor him/herself.
* Even the actual commentary (not the musical one), gets in on the act. When Nathan Fillion is honestly and sincerely thanking Joss Whedon for the opportunity to appear in this project, Joss replies "No one bring the smarm like you. And your acting's good, too."
