Dr Horrible managing to give a credible look of bemusement at Captain Hammer's "gently wafting curtains" line - whilst being strangled.
Dr Horrible bemoaning the fact that Operation Heist didn't go as planned at the end of "A Man's Gotta Do": BALLS! Cut To Black.
"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, or he'll make you his mare/You're saddled up/There's no recourse/ Hi-ho Silver!/Signed, Bad Horse."
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.)
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!
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 Ghandi."
Later:
Penny: "Billy?"
Billy: "Yeah?"
Penny: "You're driving a spork into your leg."
Billy: "So I am. Hilarious."
For me, it has to be the part where Dr. Horrible pauses in the middle of his Moment Of AwesomeVillain Song to correct a cowering reporter on the spelling of his name. Also deserving special mention: "Nation Mourns What's-Her-Name," a moment that manages to be funny in the middle of a colossalDowner Ending.
And it has a built-in Tear Jerker too, so it doesn't even break the mood. Laughing trough tears. Joss is evil.
And a couple minutes later, Captain Hammer's Moment of Ham: "WAY!!"
"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 The Woobie, 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 Serial EscalationTom Lehrer-style - just when you think Captain Hammer can't be more of an asshole, he is!
"So I thank my girlfriend, Penny/Yeah, we totally had sex..."
Also:
"I hate the homeless...ness problem that plagues our city...Everyone deserves the basic....You know what? I don't need tiny cue-cards."
Let's not forget Hammer's first exchange with Horrible:
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 its better the second time/They say you get to do the weird stuff...."
Hammer's Fanclub: "We do the weird stuff!"
Also, pretty much all of the 'commentary'... may I add, 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.
The Tur-Mohel's application to the Evil League of Evil. The application requirements include a minion... so Tur-Mohel has a Minyan (a group of ten adult Jewish males). And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The revelation of Bad Horse. Admit it, how many of you expected he'd actually be a horse?
