The Room is going to be on The Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim at midnight and 2:30 AM tonight. No word on whether the epic sex scenes will be included, but TAPE THAT SHIT. Related: whoever is in charge of publicity for The Cartoon Network is probably…very busy, but come on, they have to have Google! If you’re here for the first time or something and don’t know why this is huge news, you can catch up here. (Thanks to Patrick for the last-minute tip!)

UPDATE: It’s not showing up on the actual cable DVR listing, but it would be the most esoteric April Fool’s joke ever, so it’s probably best to tape everything anyway just in case.

  1. [raises hand] Why am I now regularly seeing live action stuff on Cartoon Network? Adult Swim gets a pass, I guess, but srsly, are cartoons that hard to find?

  2. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

  3. But what are they going to do about Lisa’s smushed boobs and Tommy’s crater ass? TV MA!

  4. Fingers crossed this isn’t an April Fools Day joke.

  5. why do i have to drive to texas tonight? goddamn it.

  6. Let’s hope they don’t put it in a tiny window in the bottom right corner without sound, a la the Aqua Teen movie.

  7. Thank you, Lindsay. Thank you. I hope to finally be initiated into this cult.

  8. I wish I knew what that was so I could be excited too :/

    I will follow the link so I can join the mirth.

  9. why am i worried they’re going to show saved by the bell instead

  10. NicoNico  |   Posted on Mar 31st, 2009

    Chances are they’ll show it since they’re also showing the Tim and Eric episode starring Wiseau.

  11. I’D WATCH THIS BUT I’LL BE IN ALASKA HUNTING WOLVERINES LOL

  12. Adult Swim is nothing if not esoteric. I’m putting my money on this is an April Fool’s joke. (Record it anyways because I want to see what Adult Swim does this year for April Fool’s and don’t have TV so you should post it).

  13. Oh, that would be a horrible, horrible April Fools prank.

  14. Wait, I don’t mean that it would be a horrible, horrible April Fools prank for Adult Swim to show “The Room”, I meant it would be a horrible, horrible prank for this Patrick fellow to have sent in a fake tip.

    just DL it off the internets

    Everyone should tape it. Having a copy at home is great. My wife and I leave it open on the computer and play random scenes, a la Conan/Walker Texas Ranger, to brighten our moods. The Room is practically pharmacological. “No prahhh-blem Denny, and remember…”

  17. So if “Robot Chicken” is preempted, what am I going to watch at midnight to make myself really really angry?

  18. Comcast needs to update their schedule CAUSE setting the DVR to record like 9 15 min shows sounds like a house of PAIN. And then watching those 9 shows in the correct order.

    I guess I could just record the first show and set it to extend an hour+, but that would be too smart of me.

    • I recorded it through the comcast listings without even thinking about it. Why couldn’t I just make a custom recording for 2 hours? Now I get to watch it all in 15 minute intervals. Smart.

      • Well. That works too, but since I’m on the west coast the times are all messed cause channels like Toon and CC don’t always adjust for pacific time. I checked in at 12, but it had been playing for 30 min already. boooooo.

  19. I’m sensing an April Fool’s prank. BUT the showing has been complimented with the TAEAS:GJ episode with Tommy Wiseau… So I don’t even know…

  20. I’m sensing an April Fool’s prank. BUT the showing has been complimented with the TAEAS:GJ episode with Tommy Wiseau… So I don’t even know…

  21. I’m getting so excited I might just Hugh Jackman myself!

  22. The time has arrived. We’ll see if this is a hoax.

  23. OH MY GOD, IT REALLY IS ON.

  24. LIVEBLOGTHISSHIT!

  25. Lauren!  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    Yes!!! I was just thinking about renting this movie later this week. I heart Adult Swim.

  26. SEX SCENE WHAT
    WHAT JUST HAPPENED

  27. Lauren!  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    They’re using black boxes of various sizes for the sex scenes. It only makes it more ridiculous.

  28. The censorship of this movie has made it 20 times worse. OMG THIS IS AMAZING. BLACK SCREEN, MUTED SOUND!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

  29. NicoNico  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    Oops, no boobs.

  30. The music reminds me of a Disney Channel Original Movie. WHAT ARE YOU FOOLS WATCHING.

  31. VIDEOGUM THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me know about this, I would’ve never known otherwise. It’s on right now and it’s blowing my mind. Lisa is sooo beautiful.

  32. are mr. wiseau’s lines dubbed? what the

  33. We live in CO, it’s 10:00 here and it’s not on. Cartoon Network hasn’t even turned into Adult Swim… are you guys in east coast time?

  34. DO NOT DUPLICATE COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL.
    Pfft, as if Adult Swim.

  35. Evannnnnnn  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    Mark is such a fox.
    I will be waiting for him tomorrow at noon.

  36. What has science done. This black box should live in my TV.

  37. We invited all these people… made a facebook group, got all dressed up (not really) only to find out we’re behind schedule?!?!?!?!

    Two hours to wait. BUT IT”S SO WORTH IT.

  38. Lauren!  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    Does anyone else think this looks like one of those softcore porn movies they show on Cinemax late at night… but without the softcore porn?

    Oooo sex scene. Gotta love that black box. And the smooth jazz/R&B

  39. Can somebody ID this song? I want to play this at my funeral.

  40. It’s on you guys!

    AND ITS SO GOOD!

  41. I liked the black screen best!

  42. do NOT duplicate this copyrighted material

  43. I can’t thank you enough for this. Although I’m going to have a hard time waking up for my 7:30 class tomorrow morning….fuck it, it’s a “Film and Media Arts” class, I can just tell them I was studying =]]

  44. Who’s their creepy friend that keeps coming over?

  45. Such elaborate drink pouring!

    and also, magically appearing pizza.

  46. 1 sex scene/12 minute ratio.

  47. I’m so excited that I get you guyz’ Twitter alerts to my phone, or else I wouldn’t be watching this AMAZING MOVIE RIGHT NOW.

  48. And so the drama begins.

  49. “The test results are in and I definitely have breast cancer”

  50. “The computer business is too competitive.” It’s on! I want to be the guy who decided how big and where the black boxes should be. (Yay!)

  51. did you know that chocolate is the symbol of love?

  52. Jersey Boy and his expressions = priceless

  53. Lisa is so deceitful, just like all women.

    Also the chocolate kissing is disgusting.

  54. “It’s really tragedy how many kids…”

  55. “If I was a burglar, you’d be my best friend!” Lisa’s mom is already my favorite.

  56. Ahh, the Gerber baby life insurance commercial! Not targeted to The Room at all. (Or is it?)

  57. Sean  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    Americans have all the fun… :(

    I’m just gonna buy this on Amazon.

  58. OMG, green screen!

  59. it’s incredible how funny this is. like all the talent and money in saturday night live hasn’t made me laugh this hard in years.

  60. Oy! Jewish mom.
    Bubulah!

  61. the scenes without tommy are less magical… loverboy

  62. danaisagirl  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    a friend found sassy modeling pics of mark (greg sestero) in some 2006ish alternative apparel catalogs. now i know why he was so busy.

  63. Lauren!  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    “I like to think about your arms around me. It excites me.”

  64. “I did not hit her, I did naaat”

    CLASSICZ

  65. I want to see this movie from Betty’s POV.

  66. how old is danny. he strikes me as somewhere between 14 and 38.

  67. “If a lot of people just love each other, the world will be a better place”

    Can we get a Nobel Prize up in here?

  68. “YOU ARE TEARING ME APAAAART LISAAA!!!!1″

  69. YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, LISA!

  70. did tommy wiseau direct that ad with the shaven headed swimmer? wtf was that??!

  71. Lisa is just horrible. I’d have throat-punched her long ago.

  72. “Actually, I got a little bit of a tragedy on my hands.”

  73. World’s smallest triangle!

  74. Lets get the chat room going… “The Room” chat room party y’all http://videogum.com/archives/liveblog/the-2009-academy-awards-livebl_054011.html#

  75. Evannnnnnn  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    “That’s life.”
    -Tommy Wiseau, 2009

  76. Oy! I got shpilkas in my gonecktakazoinks!
    -mom

  77. is there really that much of a difference between tommy wiseau and say, christopher walken in communion. Oh my god, I just forgot about the genius of Communion, the movie where Christopher Walken gets abducted by aliens.

  78. Too many good quotes here to possibly single out any specific one.

  79. And so the “cheep, cheep, cheep, cheeeeeeep” begins. Also “You’re both weird.”

  80. My favorite part of the movie is the eleventeen thousand plot holes.

  81. Tommy Wiseau’s delivery of how he met Lisa is inspired. It’s like he was making it up as he went along.

  82. sarah  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    I think my favorite part so far was when Johnny laughed at the story about the girl getting beaten up so badly she ended up in a hospital. HAHAHAHA! WHAT A CRAZY STORY MARK

  83. Loving Mark’s Canadian tuxedo.

  84. jdar  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    the devil’s weed has made Mark go INSANE

  85. The San Fransisco background looks like a dystopian nightmare version of SF

  86. Mladen really did outdo himself with the music…

  87. I think that mini-chicken dance is the most believable part of the movie so far.

  88. jdar  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009

    “Have any of you ever SEEN a chicken before?”
    -Michael Bluth

  89. Wtf? Football? In tuxedos? Get with it, Danny.
    Also: What happened to the drugs he bought? That’s serious business right there.

  90. For those counting at home, 5th sex scene.

  91. Wisseau only gets the “effect” part of “cause and effect”

  92. TOTAL BLACK? WHAT AM I MISSING?

  93. The overuse of the black bars to the point of full-screen implies much hard core sex than is actually in the movie. It’s like the Unnecessary Censorship version.

  94. Next time it cuts to commercial or after it’s over, you guys gotta check out the music video tribute song these dudes made for the movie. Super elaborate and they obviously know the movie very well. I-i-i-it’s a football breeeeeeak!

  95. Fact: The Room has a better plot point than Crank 2.

  96. OMG – I just caught it …. how long has it been on?????????

  97. THAT’S what this movie needed: a musical piece!
