Not Even Rifftrax Can Do Justice To The Room

So Rifftrax, one of the companies you can pay to talk over bad movies for you, has just added The Room to their roster, and a lot of tipsters are sending it in. I don't want to start some sort of beef with the MST3K Claymates or anything, but, wait, this is supposed to be better than watching the movie itself and thinking your own funny thoughts in your own funny head? Because if this sample, from one of the "best" scenes in the movie, is representative, the only service being provided here is two annoying guys with the most obvious jokes distracting the audience from even having the chance to notice the funniest things about the scene. They're basically like "Want us to ruin the experience of seeing The Room for you? That'll be four bucks."

This is probably a case of just being overly obsessed with the the wonderful experience of any person's first discovery of The Room, but if these guys are going to be years late on this (and, I'm sorry, if bad movies are your job, you are so way late on this), they should at least add something more than the sound of their own voices saying, quite literally, the exact same things that anyone who isn't a moron has already noticed. Maybe all this proves, though, is that The Room is SUCH a bad movie that even the true professionals can't do it justice. I did love those guys's Sixth Sense mashup. (Thanks for the tips, Josh and Ryan.)
