If you haven’t yet caught the awesome that is Dr. Horrible, do so soon, because it starts costing money on the 20th. I’m a sucker for smart humor and musicals, and Joss Whedon cranks up the goofy to eleven and has Mal Reynolds and Doogie Howser take it into the stratosphere.
(Or, well, actually, it’s probably OK to wait. I mean, it’s sufficiently brilliant that I’ll likely lay down some iTunes cash at some point in order to be able to watch it again. But go, now, look.)
Clambering on the Bandwagon
It’s hilarious. B said the same thing you said: smart humor. Have linked, too.

I was totally there for the ride… until Joss stuffed the woman in the fridge. WTF Joss?

So to speak (caution: spoiler link, as well). Yeah, that got really dark, really fast. Which is in keeping with his writing, but not with what he’s said about the types of characters he likes to write.
It was awesome. My wife and I have a matching pair of Dr. Horrible t-shirts coming soon.
Huge fan of everything Whedon. My wife and I have few vices, but one of them seems to center around us dropping huge coin to buy everything by Whedon on DVD and watching it repeatedly. Firefly happens to be one of my all-time favorite series (which was quickly cancelled-Thanks FOX), and the follow-up movie Serenity did not disapoint. Loved Dr. Horrible & will be spending the money to purchase my own copy.
