The strangest thing is that this absolute trainwreck made his career so much more successful than if it had even been mediocre
yeah it's one of the best bad movies.
Better to be spectacularly garbage than just meh.
Have you seen neighbors? It's on TH-cam and episode 5&6 are Tommy's finest pieces according to him
“You can make more money with a flop than with a hit.”
"The worst thing a movie can be is boring." - Jay Bauman
If you can't win the race, crash so hard that scholars will be studying the twisted geometry of your wreck for decades.
Better your legacy be that of an incomprehensible madman then forgotten completely
I’m convinced Tommy is a vampire who loved movies and wanted to be a star. Asked his rich uncle Dracula for a loan and off he went!
that makes sense.
"Maybe johnny is vampire" Tommy when asked why he wanted a flying car in the background of the drug deal scene
I still think he’s DB Cooper.
@@qwellen7521 so he used the money that he got from the hijacking to make the room I could see how that theory can make some sense
@@qwellen7521 db cooper is a vampire! Combine the theories! It all makes sense!
EDIT: WAIT NO. DB cooper? The D stands for DRACULA. he passed the money onto his nephew tommy. Case closed.
I always thought that adultswin playing the room over and over was like a fever dream. I was really sick that day and every time I woke up it was on. I thought I took a short nap lmaooop.
That's always an interesting way to experience something for the first time and the later shock when it turns out it was actually a real thing.
I literally found out about the movie through adult swim!
That is what happened to CM Punk and half baked. Thats true shit, google that shit.
Tommy Wiseau as a wrestling heel walking into a packed arena with a live mic:
"Oh hai, marks."
"i did nawt cheet to win the title i did nawt o hai marks"
"I did nawt piledrive her! I did NAWT!"
Yes
XD
OSW 😂
The Room is like if an alien made a movie about what he thinks humans are like
yeah.
If tommy revealed himself as a space alien I would just ask why he waited so long to come out
That's exactly what it is.
@@chazzwozzio this is literally the ending of the fangame based on this movie. No joke. Look it up here on TH-cam
"The Thief and the Cobbler" would be simply perfect for this show.
Isn't that the movie that took literal decades to film and when it came out it was a complete mess of styles because the studio just decided to finish it no matter how the product turned out?
@@franciscobrisolladeoliveir9596 Yyyep!
Definitely, but he only takes requests through Patreon I think.
Hell yeah great pick boss
The Black Cauldron shpuld be a runner-up after that.
Damn, that Tommy quote near the end was touching and real.
Truly, he is a sage for our times, you know? When you go to see The Room, and then you are hearing the words, so many words! All of the words in The Room. But if you are not going to The Room, then you walk around without hearing any of the words, and there are so many words. So you hear some other words. What other words? Maybe the words that are not in The Room, and that would be, you know? That would totally be.
I want that engraved on my tombstone when I'm dead, it's such a deep, profound philosophical quote by a modern Shakespeare.
Man, had me in tears feeling enlightened.
@@menhirmike I want "I did not hit hurrr I di noooot....oh hi Mark." Oh my grave.
fr fr
OMFG THE FACT THAT IT WAS FIRST ENVISIONED AS A PLAY MAKES SO MUCH SENSE...It honestly reads like someone took a Shakespearean Tragedy course in college, said "can't be too hard," and put together their favorite, personal ideas. Tommy Wiseau, you are beyond your years.
“Noble Phantasm..!
Nope, just a faceplant. Carry on, Master.”
XD
Yeah, when Matt said that I literally said out loud “OF COURSE”. It would make so much more sense as a play. Well, still not a lot of sense but you know.
It's not even that, Tommy and Greg's characters are basically warped versions of the two main characters in The Talented Mr. Ripley, a film Tommy saw right before he started writing The Room.
It definitely reads like an angry college student's thesis on why his ex was wrong and he was right, and also the best.
Right?It explains so much about the film.
“I did not hit her. It’s bullsheet. I did not hit her. I DID NAHHHHTT.
Oh, hi Matt.”
Its mark, btw.
yes you did Tommy yea you did
I think that wasn't a part of the movie
" did not hit her. It's bullshit. I did not hit her I DID NOT! THINK MARK THINK!" 👉😡👈
@@thebaziks323 you clearly didnt get the joke
@@FPrimusUnicron me neither. Whats the joke?
I've got a silly question - why would a vampire need a flying car when it could just turn into a bat and fly away?
Modern vampire?
Maybe it's the same reason Wonder Woman needs an invisible jet.
You think bats like to get rained on? I doubt they do.
Clearly, these are MODERN vampires were talking about. Everybody knows this.
What if it's day time?
This video should have just been a live reading of The Disaster Artist.
The Disaster Artist is a fantastic book by Greg Sestero that deserves to be read
@@christiananddanyell Joining the chorus. Go read The Disaster Artist, people. It was one of those rare books that made me lose my breath in laughter at times.
@@Dark.Shingo For real? That's an immediate buy for me
I second this. The Disaster artist is weird and wonderful. You really feel for Sestero throughout the book. And this all started in such a petty wat....basically Tommy couldn’t get a SAG card and decided to give a middle finger to the acting and film industry.
"I FED UP WITH THIS WHIRL"

"I FED UP WITH THIS WORL*"
*Fixed
@@bongchoof DIDNEY WORL
Oh hi Mark 🤪
I like the conspiracy that Greg was actually behind this entire situation. Finding Tommy, funding the film and everything solely so it could be a “true story” to write his book about. And then subsequently make a movie about. It’s a compelling, and insane, theory.
In fairness, EVERYTHING about this is insane, so who knows?
but raises the question where Greg even got the millions of dollars and what lab did they conjure a homunculus like Tommy from?
Problem is with that is it's almost impossible to make a funny bad movie. Most bad movies are just bad, like dull and boring bad.
Write his book ten years after it was finished? And publish it during the beginning of the movie’s cult phenomenon? And he just happened to know in 2002, that this mad project he was working on was going to be much bigger down the line? That’s kind of relying on too many variables to work out for this to be the case. Greg met Tommy when he was like 21, and this sounds like a plot a failed Hollywood producer would try to concoct. Not a kid trying to start his acting career lol
@@XombieLejon66
The latter, I can't explain, but the former...
Wait wait wait....hes a vampire and has a flying car and you're saying he was with internal affairs the whole time?
Imagine spending hundreds of hours writing a 500 page novel and filming a whole movie, only to get roasted for the rest of your life for it lmaooo
Yoooo Primm whas good nigga?
I would trade getting roasted the rest of mlife for millions any day bro. Thsy already roast me for free
He an All-Star
Fire Emblem Fates can totally imagine
If we live in a reality where "Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" is a real thing, then we deserve to have "Tom and Jerry: The Room" !
It's bulshit it's not true I didn't hit her. Oh hi Tom.
BRUHHHH I FUCKING SPAT OUT MY DRINK WHILE READING THAT!🤣🤣
You're tearing me apart Spike!!!
@Troy Jardine I gave your comment its 100th like.
Wanda Maximoff: weird Eastern European woman self-inserting herself into sitcom tropes to live out what she believes to be the American Dream.
Tommy Wiseau: weird maybe? European man self-inserting himself into a film to live out what he believes to be the American Dream.
Yeah but Tommy doesn’t have PTSD and is clinically depressed
@@mrcritical6751 Source? He may have PTSD, there are mentions of a police brutality incident in the book.
@@IDHLEB I’m talking about Wanda
It was a Room homage all along!
fun fact! a reddit user actually found out that tommy wiseau is most likely of polish descent, so youre not wrong
Meeting Tommy Wiseau at a midnight screening of this movie is the highlight of my life. He even signed my spoon. This movie is a masterpiece.
why a spoon of all things? i feel like im missing something.
@@L337playing room full of spoons I'm assuming
@@L337playing There's a ton of pictures of silverware in the background so there's a running joke at showings of the film that every time you see a spoon you yell "SPOON!" and throw a spoon at the screen. It's believed that the pictures were just the stock photos used in the packaging for the picture frames.
@@booshywaters3726 yep and Tommy was just too dumb to realise you were meant to put your own pictures there. Like could it kill him to just do a one day photo shoot with the Lisa actress in front of some green screens to have them in different places
I had them sign a film clapperboard I got the day before at the Harry Potter studio tour near London. They were really nice, especially Greg.
Imagine starring in The Room and still wondering Wuh Happun
Honestly THE ROOM is probably one of the important films in history. It’s unintentionally a searing critique of auteur theory, demonstrated the power fan screenings and the communal nature of film and the guide book of what not to do when making a film. It deserves it put on one of those space drones we shoot into space, so that aliens can remember it too.
"Important" is kinda stretching it
@@medes5597 case in point: th-cam.com/video/V7pUs-9C-gY/w-d-xo.html
What is auteur theory.
Okay so I Google'd it.
Hmm. Hard to call it a "searing critique" unless you argue that the movie is "a failure." (?) Because as of 2024, hasn't it grossed something like 12 million in sales?
It could be said actually, that The Room's quirks and idiosyncrasies owe themselves TO the director (Tommy W.) And without them, there is no "The Room" fascination.
The ADR dubbing. The hackneyed weird dialogue that make it dream like and surreal. The unnecessary sex scenes. Like this is Tommy W. rubbing his nuts all over the film so to speak and what makes it so unique atrocious and ultimately successful. So you don't have a searing critique of auteur theory at all! But a prime example OF IT.
Your comment is a primary example of someone trying to use fancy words and sound smart online.
@@darrinsiberia i said its unintentional satire. And yes, its unequivocally a success culturally; but it absolutely failed at being what it intended to be.
We literally have come the same opinion; no need to be petty.
Your Tommy reading literally brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
I want to know what the 500 page book was like. The bad dialogue Tommy wrote like “Hi mark” and “I’m fed up with this world” were actual words on a page.
Tommy is a real paradox, I can't help laughing and respecting the guy at the same time.
I know we all meme on The Room a lot, but I think it's impressive that Tommy got a movie made in the first place.
Plenty of people are able to make horrible movies and do it without throwing obscene amounts of money at it. Tommy making his movie is probably the least impressive thing he's done.
He said that The Room and his sitcom “The neighbours” are the things he is most proud of in his life tbh
I love how the backstory of the movie is just as much of a train wreck as the movie itself
A surprise, for sure, but a welcome one at that!
I think the best way to describe Tommy is how The Nostalgia Critic described him. Bizzaro Fabio
@@medes5597 Hey at least Tommy doesn't take himself as seriously these days
I'd take Tommy Wiseau's The Room over Doug Walker's The Wall any day. At least Tommy is kind to his fans and genuinely loves the medium that he works with. Doug is just a bitter, hateful, narcissistic hack that is only still doing Nostalgia Critic because he realized when he tried to retire the character that nobody gives a fuck about him outside of NC. And, he allowed his company to run by a sociopath.
"It's not over! Everybody betrayed me, I'm fed up with this world."
Oh hi Mark!
People don’t talk enough about how abusive Tommy was to his crew, and manipulative to Greg.
Oh, it's presented pretty bluntly in The Disaster Artist. He let his desire to make his film, and his fear of failure, transform him in to a massive asshole while filming the movie. It seems like most people give him a pass because that doesn't seem to be the kind of person that he actually is.
Still though, you're absolutely right, he really did mistreat his cast and crew, and abused his position as director. And I'm not sure if he's ever acknowledged or apologized for his behavior.
From what I’ve heard he was an asshole even before production started, basically strong arming Greg into acting in the movie and being needlessly cruel to the original Mark actor to basically force Greg’s hand and make him take the role
The Room and Tommy Wiseau: The perfect Vampire art piece. If didn't watch early TH-cam reviews, I wouldn't be here, most likely hating and distanting myself from acknowledging it, and that's a frightening thought.
I don't think vampire is quite right. Close. He's more like if a gargoyle statue came to life.
I want to know the unsung hero whose idea it was to play it on adult swim in 2009. He’s the reason the movie had a cult following
Sam Hyde.
"I'll call your character Mark. Like your actor, Mark Damon."
~Thomas Pierre Wiseau, 2002 or something
good to see you Roominating on the origins of this particular film.
dammit have a like for that you reprobate
They still have the billboard up in CA...truly epic
The Room aka "The Greatest Movie Ever Made Ever" also has one of the best video game adaptations of all time, too.
I know the Room is already PERFECT but maaaaan knowing that there was going to be a flying car and that Johnny was suppossed to be a Vampire just make me wish they implemented that
So, in a kinda roundabout way, Tommy Wiseau actually reach SOME level of success with "The Room", just not the way he intended to
All’s well that ends well I suppose
@@pentelegomenon1175 US$ 6 million according to wikipedia. Which raises a big question for me: if he was willing to spend 6 million dollars of his own money to fund his shitty movie, how much money does he have actually? How rich is he?
.....Considering the fact Tommy looks like he's undead in the movie anyway, the Vampire reveal would have made sense, I feel.
No wonder the "Hi Mark" scene took so long to make. It just perfectly catches the emotions, the drama, everything. I takes a lot of effort to get that right.
"I did not skip watching this to comment, I did not skip watching this, I did not. Oh hi, Matt."
This is why, no matter how passionate you are, you need guidance and experience before you can jump into something like this
This is why, no matter how much of a screw up you think you are, there is always a chance you will fall backwards from your failures right onto extreme success.
@@t.dmattocks6119 That CAN happen, but 9/10 it doesn't
You can't just jump into starring, writing, and directing your own movie, Tommy should've been in movies and gained experience before he starred in his movie, but no, he was impatient and wanted to be a star so he made his own movie where he could be a star
You should always gain experience before trying something ambitious, no matter what it is
@@NitPickerYT especially considering that this movie gaining a cult following was something that nobody expected.
Not even Tommy wiseau who simply jump on the bandwagon of this unexpected cult
@@NitPickerYT Yeah you're right of course. I mostly just wanted to give the alternate, ridiculous, and somewhat funny lesson you could take from this.
Seriously fate is fucking hilariously dumb sometimes lol
There are some things in this world that were never meant to be...
I'm glad that this wasn't one of them.
My absolute favorite piece of Room Trivia is that all the frames in the movie are just Spoons. They were supposed to edit them into pictures of Tommy and Lisa, but forgot so they just remained Spoons... but why Spoons?? Why is the stock photo for all these frames Spoons?! It's so absurd and hilarious!
that's because they're all the same frames
17:56 I’m pretty sure there was an interview with I think Jimmy Kimmel where Tommy admitted he’s originally from Europe, but didn’t want to go into any further details
Yeah I remember James Franco brought him on and when Tommy began admitting he’s from Poland but doesn’t like to talk about it and considers himself American Franco just freaked out because Tommy was saying stuff he had never said to anybody before
I'm waiting for a gay romance drama starring Tommy Wiseau and Nicholas Cage
Just an hour and a half of them trying to out-ham each other 😂
@fabRic_jAck More than likely. The IRS isn't going to pay itself back.
U R TARING ME APART, LISA!
You're putting too much emotion:
Do it again, a more monotonous and bored voice
Well here's a movie that I didn't expect will appear in Wha Happun.
I got a sealed DVD of this movie I found at a thrift store.
It is my most precious DVD in my 1000+ movie collection.
Still waiting for an AMV of this movie with the Queen song “Death on two Legs”. There’s one iconic line from the move that’s also said in this song
He copied many lines from songs and movies honestly, and didn't seem to really understand what they really were about..!
@@TeruteruBozusama For example, the infamous "You are tearing me apart, Lisa!" is lifted from Rebel Without A Cause.
@@LordArikado I know, and I saw the clip. I didn't know the characters or their story, but they were instantly more sympathetic than Johnny, one could feel their pain and story instantly, Johnny/Tommy... Just... Feels pathetic..!
A vampire with a flying car... So, he wanted to film a Troy McClure movie, no?
ok we need to donate to make these come true.
I suddenly heard Pokemon Battle Revolution music and my soul transcended my body and I was taken back to my childhood. This music seriously just unlocked a piece of childhood in my brain.
I actually completely tuned out Matt's voice there because I couldn't place where I had heard it from and got sucked into the song again. Fuck, that was a trip.
Lol same.
“Why does the car fly, Tommy?”
“Maybe car is... vampire!”
I want to see the Flying Vampire Car movie! I wouldn’t pay for a theater ticket, but I’d stream it... Or at least try to. 😹
The better thing is that from what I understand I could be wrong though he didn't say the car he said maybe Johnny is vampire. . . Which makes even less sense since as a vampire he wouldn't really need a flying car but never before have I wanted to know how the dots in someone else's head connected
Ok this video is completely out of left field, yet you just stole my Monday.
Most infamous line ... “ oh , hi mark “
What a story, Matt
A What Happened on any of the Channel Awesome anniversary films would be really great. There's so much weird behind the scenes stuff behind those things.
@@Gatorade69 True, but the level of incompetence and contractual 'what the fuckery' on display in these films is just so baffling. Like there's an entire rape joke where both people involved in the scene actively argued against doing the bit, with one of them being an actual sexual assault victim, and they were forced into it anyways because "It's in the script so we gotta keep it". It's insane!
TOMMY WISEAU!
4:53: I like that you used the Chaos's theme from Sonic Adventure. Tommy definitely is somesort of creature of Chaos.
Greg is such a nice guy, met him at a showing of the room at a drive in and he signed a copy of the DVD and a shirt I bought. That was actually the first time I saw the movie, I just knew it from all the memes online.
Now I want a Birdemic episode.
@@samvimes9510 It doesn't help that the director decided to make a painfully self-aware sequel that runs the joke into the ground and makes the first one retroactively even worse.
Also the director has a weird obsession with Tippie Hedron
Your videos are always so good. There's a lot of information and research in them but the way you present it is so concise and hilarious that the vids never feel like info dumps or overly long. Excellent content
Thank you!
Never expected this to be a what happun, glad it exist thou
Fantastic video! Just read the Disaster Artist a couple weeks ago in one sitting because of how bizarrely compelling the whole story really was. Keep up the great content Mr. McMuscles.
I couldn't believe Greg was in Haunting of Bly Manor. I had to rewind to make sure I wasn't losing it.
I got the results of the test back, I'm definitely watching the new Wha Happun
Matt, I really love your content, and everything you've done. Over the past week I've saw the ticker for your channel go from 374k -> 375k -> 376k. I really hope this keeps up and is reflective of you gaining more followers consistently.
The 2014 interview with Tommy was just,........ "wow". Simply "wow", truly inspiring everybody should just stop and listen if this don't send a a single tear then you are truly a monster
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
M. Bison: YES!YES!
Holy shit, it’s happening, it really is happening
I really love how here and there I always see references to your channel and OSW in all your videos haha always get a pop out of me
What a nice way to kick off the week. Thanks Matt!
That vampire with a flying car thing would've been amazing
my favourite theory about wiseau is that he's bd cooper lmao
Started watching your videos during the first lockdown while home with my newborn. In that time you have become my favorite creator. Thank you for always making amazing content
Nice coincidence. I'm currently reading The Disaster Artist and just rewatched The Room a couple days ago. MASTERPIECE
Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun/Nosgoth (2014) - What Happened?
@@KeyBladeMaster-Dan I'm happy because the direction they were going with Dead Sun didn't look faithful to the other games, but also sad because they insist on not making anymore LoK games.
Matt's Tommy impression is incredible
Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this moment to happen for a while!!
Wow! I'm watching this exactly 365 days after it was uploaded. What a story, Mark!
Tommy Wiseau is the kind of guy who is so weird you want him to keep talking just to see how off the rails he takes any topic.
drugs really does explain the "oh hi mark"
now that’s a video i didn’t expect
I assume they couldn't film the vampire version because the other vampires would have killed Tommy for breaking the Masquerade.
Legit one of my favourite cinema experiences. The audience interactions are gold and the film itself is nonsensical art.
Yo, The Room: The Game soundtrack as background, composed by Chris O'Neill? God, this feels like a throwback. That's real Newgrounds nostalgia right there.
Oh, I've been waiting for this one for a while...
This video really could have just been the entirety of 'The Room' without any commentary. What happened? The Room happened.
You're tearing me apart, Matt McMuscles!
It's really cool to see (arguably) the most infamous bad movie of our generation on "What Happened?".
One of my favorite folks on youtube talking about one of my favorite good-bad movies of all time on my b-day no less sign me the hell up
When Batman got the Mobius Chair, instead of asking the Joker's real identity, he should've asked where Tommy got the money.
I really want to hate The Room. I want to write it off as an absolute joke and disaster, but it's what they call "lightning in a bottle". You simply can't name another movie that was so awful that it ended up catapulting a guy's career into the stratosphere (compared to where it was) in terms of fame, and has this lasting legacy. It's genuinely shocking, but at the same time, you can't help but feel happy for everyone who stuck it out and managed to get through it.
Tommy may be batshit insane, but he is so in a fantasticly perfect way.
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge Matt's brilliant comedic timing at 5:55?
Damn, some Pokémon Battle Revolution music really sets the tone for this. Good choice, Matt!
5:13 *remembers Devil's Third episode* oooh, that makes sense now. 😂👍
Just wanted to say that I've watched every single episode of What Happun for the last 2 weeks while recovering from covid and rewatched them the entire time. Thanks for making such great content and getting me through. 🤘
This was unexpected, but a great retrospective on this cult classic! 💯👏
Man, now I want a director's cut of The Room, if only so we can get another Rifftrax version of it.
And you added Amazing Island music to the video. It fits so well. :D
Greg: The money is from the Mafia and Drug Cartels isn't it?
Tommy: Money is from Mafia and Drug Cartels
Cheep cheep cheep
