Rocky Horror is more campy than just bad imo. It doesn't take itself seriously, unlike the room. Plus the music is fire.

Plus Tim Curry

The fact the Room takes itself so seriously is why it's so enjoyable. The distance between what it's trying to accomplish and the result is so profound that it's an absolute spectacle in and of itself. The sheer confidence behind every single choice makes it so much more funny.

Isn't Rocky horror supposed to be better as a play or something? Something about having the audience there and breaking the 4th wall.

"Better" is subjective. It's certainly more fun.

Like, as a gay, it almost feels like a betrayal to say I don't care for Rocky Horror, but I legitimately can't sit through it....in my living room.

At a midnight showing of Rocky Horror, with the community, it's a blast.
