Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

Joss Whedon (the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) spent the writer's strike thinking of a musical superhero fight (with the villain as the protagonist), called up some of his friends, and filmed it. Now it is being released in three acts. The first is online (only about six or seven minutes) and can be viewed here. The second act will be put online tomorrow. It's online for about a week, so be sure to enjoy the hilarity promptly.

That was really funny! Thanks for the link!

HolycowIloveit.

You know what else Joss Whedon made that is waaay better than Buffy the Vampirate slayer? Firefly. Yeah.

You're the pop culture buff: are there other comic strips/movies where the villain is cast as the protagonist, and his sticking it to The Man seen as admirable?

(And, like all here, I loved the clip. Thanks.)

Portia: Ocean's Eleven - Thirteen counts, I think. As well as the Italian Job in some respects. And The Transporter isn't a law-abiding citizen, for that matter. Wicked? Hoodwinked?

Oh, and don't forget that Joss Whedon also worked with The Office a couple of times .

I almost forgot Pinky and the Brain. Zoink!

Lovely!

I feel really odd saying this, but...

I didn't find it all that funny.

That is all.

(Please do not suggest something is wrong with me; I'm already wondering on my own.)

Eh, it was OK if you like that sort of thing. (Which I do. So I LOVED it. )

It was much more enjoyable for me since I watched it with my roommate, who tends to be a bit awkward with relationships that are potentially romantic.

I loved the first song... I kinda just wanna buy it.

I just watched the second one. Fantastic! There was one part at about 11:10 that I definitely could have done without. Pointless and crass. The rest was fantastic though.

Any predictions for how it will end?

I'm guessing he gets the girl, and doesn't directly kill Hammer. I also think that there will some comedy belittling Bad Horse. Other than that, no idea.

I really enjoyed the first song from Act II. A lot.

You'd think that, but it's Joss Whedon, so I'm guessing that the girl dies.

Was that the duet? (I don't feel like rewatching it right now . . .)

Yes, it was.
