* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: Captain Hammer's line that he might sleep with the same girl twice in "So They Say" could either refer to [[LousyLoversAreLosers every woman he's slept with leaving him due to being unsatisfied]] or him being shallow enough to dump women the instant after he's gotten into their pants.

** There's at least one camp that argues that Captain Hammer is a much better boyfriend than Billy: neither of them are ''good'', to be sure, but Captain Hammer at least gives her a level of respect and attention which Billy doesn't. This is largely derived from the fact that, when Penny suggests the homeless shelter to Billy, he dismisses the idea and says that she's not focusing on the ''real'' problems, suggesting a lack of interest in what Penny actually wants, and that Billy had been stalking her and his songs profess to giving her what ''he'' thinks she wants.

Meanwhile Hammer might be obnoxious and arrogant, and does brag that he's going to sleep with Penny just to upset Billy, but he does seem to genuinely care about Penny's interests.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: A lot of people, on rewatching, have seen Billy himself a lot less positively [[ValuesDissonance a decade and a half later]]. In the modern climate of incels and the manosphere it's very easy to see his feelings towards Penny as at best creepy and at worst dangerously toxic, with his villain arc being motivated by [[EntitledToHaveYou anger over her dating someone other then him]] and ultimately culminating in trying to kill her boyfriend in a fit of jealous rage.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Of the "good movie, terrible title" variety. It's a musical about a wannabe MadScientist who aspires to join an Villain association. And the thing is mostly narrated via the main character video blogs. Note that at the time of release the term "blog" have a particular set of connotations that left many people even more wary of the concept. Early on a lot of potential fans to watch it solely because the title "Sing-Along Blog" sounded bad. Fortunately, positive word of mouth eventually overcame the audience-alienating nature of the title.

That's more of a "a villain does a bad thing" than anything close to MEH


** The fact that Bad Horse orchestrated the events that led to Billy and Penny's fate.
