I think it works even if you haven’t seen The Room, as Jango is transformed into this deranged character.
Wook, nothing works if you haven’t seen The Room.
I was only familiar with it as the April Fool’s gag Adult Swim pulled several years ago, when they showed it heavily censored. (I honestly thought it was some softcore Cinemax flick they dug up.) I saw maybe five minutes of it at the time, and didn’t see all of it until the Rifftrax live show last year.
Obviously seeing it before AOTR enhances the experience, but I found Jango funny as hell the first time around.
