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. OH MY GOD, I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE HOW GREAT OF AN ACTRESSTHE MOM IS.

  2. I feel awkward just watching this onscreen party.

    What time is this over? 2:30?
    Sleep or “The Room”, sleep or “The Room”…

  4. “wait I have something I want to show you”…

  5. leave your stupid comments in your pocket!

  6. Lisa’s master plan was to invite everyone over and then tell them all to go outside. WHAT A GENIUS.

  7. who the hell is this character played by a cross between david hasslehoff and ron livingston?

  8. Tommy Wiseau’s face looks like it’s made from clay or it’s some sort of prosthetic… and that’s awesome.

  9. “I feel like I’m sitting on an ATOMIC BOMB waiting for it to go off”

  10. I was seriously wondering if following VG on Twitter was necessary. What a fool I was!

    ps: Do NOT duplicate this copywrited material!

  11. Who is this new guy because he is rivaling the Mom in being my favorite. He looks so super pained. I CAN’T NOT TYPE IN CAPS ABOUT THIS MOVIE BECAUSE IT’S SO SUPER AMAZING.

  12. is Lisa wielding some sort of mind control over this party? let’s go outside for air. let’s go inside for cake.

    if they apparently have this patio that they’re all currently getting fresh air on, WHY do they hang out on the roof and ‘play football’ in the alley?

  14. Hil  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +1

    That escalated quickly.

  15. Aww, poor Johnny. :(

  16. I was seriously wondering if following VG on Twitter was necessary. What a fool I was!

    ps: Do NOT duplicate this copyrighted material!

  17. did you see – that kid made tommy wiseau out of bendaroos!

  18. bendaroos is made of genuine tommy wiseau hair

  19. Everyone is always leaving as soon as they show up on the screen… wtf?

    THE ROOM Fun Fact: The music is by a guy named Mladen Milicevic, who is a professor at Loyola Marymount University here in LA. Yes. Someone associated with this movie is teaching others. I think if LMU starts staffing more people from the Room, they can finally take down USC and UCLA for the film school title.

  21. will he see about that??? because I didn’t catch whether he’d see about it or not.

  22. Tommy, you do have friends! You have obsessive Denny at your side!

  23. Is this where he turns into the Hulk?

  24. Hil  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +4

    Wait, I thought the mom said Lisa knew Johnny for five years, and now they’re screaming about knowing each other for seven years? Have I just not been paying attention?

    And geez, these people drop friendships like THAT.

  25. Tommy Wiseau SMASH!

  26. I can now die peacefully, thanks to Tommy’s ‘rage’ scene.

  27. oh my god. this is the greatest apeshit scene of all time.

  28. OMG THIS IS THE MOST POWERFUL SCENE I’VE EVER SEEN. LOOKIT HIM PUSH OVER THAT CANDELABRA WITH SUCH DISDAIN AND THE TEARZ AS THEY STREAM DOWN HIS CRAGGY FACE.

  29. wake up? HAHAHAHAHAH

  30. I’m waking my entire neighborhood cackling like a banshee at this lunacy… and why the fuck was he humping that dress?

    and why does he keep his suicide gun in a conveniently located special box?

  31. Hil  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

    SERIOUSLY?

  32. holy shit, i truly did not see that coming. holy. shit.

  33. My heart is crying. :(

  34. I FEEL LIKE MY BRAIN IS MELTING. WAKE UP, JOHNNY!!!!!

  35. LEAVE US!

  36. HE’S IN A BETTER PLACE!

    Actually, he’s in the same place with a hole in him

  37. Cue the ‘Adagio for Strings.’

  38. Single clap for The Room, pass it on: *clap*

  39. I LOVE HOW IT JUST TURNED INTO PORNO MUSIC DURING THE CREDITS. HOLY SHIT, THAT MOVIE WAS UNREAL.

  40. the strangest thing is that… i want to see it again.

  41. That was amazing! I think Tommy Wiseau might be a soulmate of Vincent Gallo but… you know… with out all the doucheness.

  42. Hil  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +1

    Maybe I’m just overtired, but my actual thought process was – “A black box? But who is he having sex wit — OH SHIT”.

    And that’s it? It’s over?

    Thank you Lindsay – without this post I probably would have never experienced the lunacy that is “The Room”.

  43. ‘Violin played by Giovana.’ Wtf?

  44. L’ouvre de Tommy Wiseau is truly peerless…

    also – the Time Life Quiet Storm music during the credits: PERFECT.

  45. who knows where i can download “My Rose” by Kitra Williams?? i feel like seducing my lady with it for sexy times… then subsequently calling her a bitch repeatedly, trashing my apartment, and shooting myself in the head with my conveniently placed pistol. you know, just another friday night.

  46. Guyz, I think we need to write a love letter to Wayman Davis and Kitra Williams for that beautiful mood music.

  47. Okay, if anybody’s watching the commercials, does the marketing group for Ronnie Milsap’s hymns realize that that commercial’s a bit too close to a Tim and Eric skit?

    • To be honest, I saw that commercial when I turned on Cartoon Network and thought it was Tommy Wiseau pretending to be blind at first.

  48. i still can’t tell if wiseau is in on the joke… and this is not me being willfully obtuse.

  49. i honestly thought that ronnie milsap thing was a tim and eric sketch… it isn’t?

  50. OMG!!! It’s back.. I can watch it from the beginning. My life is complete.

    or I THOUGHT it was coming back on… I’m very confused. This is all very absurdist.

  51. jdar  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +1

    speaking of commercials, what about all those Life Alert commercials? y’know, for the senior citizens watching Adult Swim(??)

    or, I guess, the tiny percentage of viewers that are statistical outlier levels of fat

  52. i cannot wait to watch The Room again.
    anybody else still going to be here for round 2 after this Tim & Eric episode??

  53. Ok, Im sorry but I need to vent somewhere. THEY DIDN”T AIR IT ANYWHERE ELSE BUT THE EAST COAST???

    I just watched 2 hours of crappy cartoon network shows… only for MORE crappy-ness. WTF?!?!?! and nowhere did it say that that would be the case.

    Well shit. Good job Wiseau, I’m buying the DVD.

    • I’m in the Midwest and they played it here….. but I only caught the last 30 minutes or so. whatever you have to do…. see this movie.

      • What? Really? I don’t know… I seem to have stepped into a parallel universe where The Room is non-existant.

        I’m watching Red Dawn instead… AVENGE ME!!!! Seems fitting.

        Plus, we just checked it again, and NOTHING.

  54. i feel like i just watched the brown bunny only it was good

  55. Katherine  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +1

    Lindsay, Thank you so much for bringing this movie into my life.

  56. It’s back MUTHA FUCKAS!

  57. Everybody keep an eye out for kd lang in her cameo role as the florist.

  58. so THAAAAT’S what the creepy dress rubbing was all about at the end! i get it now!!

  59. Did Christopher Dane Owens have some part in this soundtrack?

  60. jdar  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +4

    I will stand in the way of a bullet
    I will run through a forest of flames
    I will climb the highest mountain

  61. this is the saddest hook-up of all time.

  62. super7  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

    Once was enough, I couldn’t bear to watch this movie alone; I had to bring out the laptop and comment incessantly about it.

  63. Gen  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

    How could they do this to Johnny.

  64. how cinemax missed out on getting the rights to this is beyond me

  65. Dennis   |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +1

    Was anyone else disappointed when Denny didn’t ask Lisa and what’s-his-face to toss the football around with him there at the end? LOL

  66. If you’re planning on lovemaking anytime soon, then you should pick up the soundtrack. Clearly.

  67. Dennis  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

    I was disappoiinted that Denny didn’t ask Lisa and what’s-his-face to play with the football with him there at the very end.

  68. Fuck’s up with that kid Denny?
    and why is everyone telling that chick she’s beautiful????

  69. hhhhaa dunn drink, you nuh daaaaht

  70. THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s on. Im going to cry.

  71. “I finally got the test results back – I DEFINITELY have breast cancer.”

    LOLZ

  72. “what are these characters doing here!”
    my thoughts exactly, lady

  73. Gen  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

    Ewww she’s on the sex couch!

  74. this is a revolving door of senseless cameos… no one spends more than 3 minutes in frame at a time.

  75. what KIND of money???

  76. You know better Denny!
    You almost got keeee-ooooohhhhled!

  77. loving the reiteration of the characters’ roles. by the characters themselves.
    “johnny’s like your father, denny, and we’re your friends. we’re going to help you”

  78. I DID NOT HIT HER! OH, HI MAHHK.

    • Gen  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +1

      Ok so nobody saw him on the stairs AND everyone has to leave after making a 5 second appearance lol

  79. Gen  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +1

  80. Gen  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

  82. Bruce  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

    Let’s go eat, HOH!!

  83. Why does everyone keep telling everyone else not to worry?

  84. primitive recording device  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +2

    Still can’t believe this was not a prank. It’s a St. April Fools miracle!

  85. i get the feeling Johnny misunderstands the duties of a psychologist.

  86. Gen  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

    BTW, “You didnt get any tips from your job?” “Whatever.”

  87. “i got a new client”
    “really, who?”
    “i can’t say, it’s confidential. anyway, how’s your sex life?”

  88. sounds like these actors skipped Moaning 101 at the Cinemax School for Softcore. good grief.

  89. Gen  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

    Im diggin his red gloves

  90. i’m glad they included that random football scene, because before, i had no idea that johnny and mark were best friends.

  91. Gen  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

    Becca-oneal? lol

  92. Gen  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +1

    gdn everyone

  93. Bruce  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

    Bray-vo, En-core!

  94. Funny as it was, this is the epitome of pop-culture madness. The irony is good to an extent, but watching this makes me feel soul-less.

  95. I can only imagine :’(.

  96. obama bin diesel  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 0

    I settled down to watch Robot Chicken last night and instead this was on. I immediately ran downstairs to my DVR and DVR’d the entire evening of Adult Swim. Now I can watch it whenever I want! In 15-minute segments! (ugh.)

  97. all this videogum obsession about this movie still does not do it justice… absolutely amazing haha

  98. blah  |   Posted on Apr 1st, 2009 +2

    Wait…that was ‘THE ROOM’ on Adult Swim last night? I thought I was watching some random episode of ‘Tom Goes To The Mayor’ guest-starring Stephen Pearcy from Ratt.

    Huh.
