Nerd Pin-up Girl Returns With Hilarious Music Video

Check out this new video from the excellent and hilarious crew from the web series "The Guild", entitled "Do You Want To Date My Avatar"?



Now, riddle me this: why aren't networks falling over themselves to sign Felicia Day to a long term contract for a TV show?

For those of you who aren't Felicia Day superfans and have no idea who she is, allow me to recommend a few works she's been in.

1) If you can roll with the idea of a show about people who playing World of Warcraft excessively, you absolutely need to check out The Guild. You can get it free on Xbox Live or Zune, or you can download episodes via Amazon.com and so forth. Even if you're not super familiar with WOW, you should be able to mostly keep up (though a few choice WOW jokes will probably go over your head)

2) Apparently some of you are STILL resisting seeing the greatest musical ever, because I have had several friends tell me that they haven't seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Do yourself a favor and go pick this up immediately. Not only does it star the lovely Ms. Day, it also features the fabulous Neil Patrick Harris as the title character Dr. Horrible, and cult favorite Nathan Fillion as his nemesis Captain Hammer.

3) Lastly, if you were following my Dollhouse posts, you may be interested to know that you can watch the fabled 13th episode of Dollhouse, "Epitath One", that never aired via Amazon on demand. I'll be reviewing the episode eventually. Anyway, Felicia plays a prominent role in this one-shot episode that hints at the dark future that awaits the Dollhouse and its members.

Okay, okay, I'll watch Dr Horrible's Singalong Blog. Jeez. :)
I fell in love with her on Dr HSAB. It was me singing to her not NPH...I had to make sure I was alone in the house though.
See, why didn't I think to blog this yesterday when she was tweeting about it all day long? :-) Cuz I'm not wise like the Mad Typist, that's why.
I mean, really, she's adorable. Link to some creative commons Flickr shots of her here.
bbd - I agree that she's amazing in Dr HSAB, and her voice is quite lovely (love the duet she and NPH do in Act 2). I also think she's the girl in the Cheetos commercial who gets convinced by scary ass Chester Cheetah that she should put one of her Cheetos into the dryer of the woman who took her clothes out. Which would mean that 50% of the stuff I've seen her in involves a laundromat for some reason....

Nick - seriously, you'll love it. It's awesome.
Felicia was one of the Slayerettes in the last season of Buffy. She's also in one of the Sears "Blue Crew" ads. Probably trying to sell you a washing machine.
Where do I get one of those costumes?

The ultimate Dollhouse episode didn't air in the US? it was on here last week and we're dumbstruck with Wheedon-love! Seriously, anyone who hasn't yet watched Dr. HSAB is missing out some great fun! Going back to check out your Dollhouse blogs now that I've caught all of the series here. Thanks, MT!
