Line 293:
* [[Living Legend]]: Captain Hammer, Bad Horse, and the Evil League of Evil are all incredibly well known. By the end of Act III, so is Dr. Horrible.
* [[Lock and Load Montage]]: The Doctor converting his Stun Ray into a [[Death Ray]] in Act III. Also at the end of Act III, the Doctor changes the color scheme of his [[Mad Scientist]] getup.
* [[Lonely Atat the Top]]
* [[Lonely Piano Piece]]: Penny's theme and song, as well as the beginning of "Everything You Ever". Doubles as a [[Simple Score of Sadness]].
* [[Loose Lips]]: Dr. Horrible has a blog, which he uses to talk to his fans about various things he's done and is planning to do. This backfires on him when it turns out his viewing audience includes Captain Hammer and the LAPD.
Line 499:
{{quote|'''Groupie number 2:''' "This is his hair."}}
** Hey, that's [[Perverse Sexual Lust|NATHAN FILLION'S HAIR]]!!! What's wrong about...?! Oh...
* [[Twitchy Eye]]: A nervous squint (so pronounced as to resemble a [[Hollywood TourettesTourette's|Tourette Syndrome tic]]) which our protagonist suffers from both as Billy and as Dr. Horrible, so it's not merely an affected [[Character Tics|character quirk]] of the Dr. Horrible persona; happens repeatedly throughout the first two Acts (less so during the third). Some examples:
** When Dr. Horrible discusses Penny with Moist, expressing his hope that he will soon make "audible connection" with her.
** After Horrible receives Bad Horse's letter and declares that he will go ahead with his heist to steal the Wonderflonium to prove his worth as a villain.
Line 543:
{{quote|'''Penny:''' ''Here's a story of a girl/Who grew up lost and lonely/Thinking love was fairytale/And trouble was made only for me... Grief replaced with pity/For a city barely coping/Dreams are easy to achieve/If hope is all I'm hoping to be...''}}
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|Dr. Horrible at the end.}}
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: The other reason why Dr. Horrible has to commit a murder.
{{quote|'''Bad Horse Chorus''': He saw the operation you tried to pull today/But your humiliation means he still votes "neigh"/And now assassination is just the only way/There will be blood, it might be yours...}}
* [[Your Approval Fills Me with Shame]]: In the ELE comic, Johnny Snow saves the city's water from being poisoned by freezing it entirely. Which ''impresses'' the ELE and causes the media to call him a villain, leaving him to mope miserably that "I'm a '''good''' guy!"
