He Gone

MTV made its greatest contribution to the world a couple years ago, but the effort went largely unnoticed thanks to the network burying this fantastic content underneath hours upon hours of trash TV.

Room 401 was a short-lived "reality" show that can only be described as a cross between Candid Camera and Scare Tactics. Except, instead of Shannen Doherty's messed-up eye hosting the show, Jared Padalecki (who played 'Dean' in Gilmore Girls) delivered terrible one-liners that likely had Mitch Hedberg rolling over in his grave. The series on the whole wasn't very good, although the special effects were amazing for a supposedly live show, and it was canceled after about ten episodes.

But a clip from one of the episodes has defied all odds and remained in circulation on the Internet. It is the only good segment from that entire series. And it is hilarious. Watch this exhumed hilarious clip and laugh your butt off like 'Date My Mom' never happened.

The buildup is a bit slow, but stick with it. You will see later why it was important. And the anticipation only makes the end even more hysterical.

Take note that at the end of this video, nobody informs the victims that it was just an elaborate prank. These people went home thinking that everything they saw actually happened.
