ROOM RAIDERS (gay dating show) - CODY episode

[@DentalTech1000]

The TV series was called ROOM RAIDERS (MTV). This ARIZONA episode, from about 2005, features Cody, Peter, James and Drew ROOM RAIDERS was a dating "reality" series. 98% of the episodes were boy/girl dating but once in a while it featured gay folks. MTV shows like this were not entirely real. Writers were on hand to suggest things for participants to say and do to make it more dramatic.

[@patrickrrupp]

No gay has ever said, “definitely a turn off, I don’t like pornography.”

[@KM-uh5ro]

Exactly!

[@ilovecorpseparty8930]

Same

[@evashimaj3304]

Actually early 2000 porn was not accepted as normal as today. Those were the days my friend where you could shame perverts in peace.

[@CoopyKat]

@patrickrrupp YES they have. Not everybody thinks like you and your friends.

[@jakeraught4939]

i’m gay and i don’t like porn at all

[@sperry877]

"Men should not have a purse" "I'M GAY"

[@Kingdom91894]

Four bottoms don’t make a top.

[@ryanwinders6912]

Jeff Lombardi EXACTLY

[@andrewrenshaw2741]

Spiky haired boy did say he liked a man who can ride a long board. I'd say top.

True all ugly and GIRLY

[@jupitermoon9894]

“Your only a four too”.. “ROigGHtT” I screamed

[@TheGoldenAdonis]

Lmao me too

[@LunarEleven]

Hahaha you'd spare more pride NOT saying that because it's so obviously not true.

[@kaitlinmarie367]

Could you imagine being their neighbors and seeing them being pushed into the vans and it racing away

[@darreylhenderson702]

Male neighbor: some people just shoved the Peterson boy into the back of the van half naked Neighbor's wife: oh, you know how those gay people are , dear. It's probably some gay kink.

[@AmazingRebel23]

They probably whitelisted that lmao, we got taught about it in video productions

[@ff343ify]

LOL arizona in the early 2000s must have been a dark place

1:22 "I'm definitely really into fashion" Okay, gurl

[@VampguyN85]

Wow I feel like I'm in a time warp. I'm so glad we have been evolving since the days of the mean girls.

[@drewsy4788]

I dont think it has changed that much honestly...lol

[@sweetlildevil7597]

To quote, Cody - "ROigGHtT"

[@tyajx]

Is this how 2006 gays acted lmaooo as a gay I’m offended

[@DrVVVinK]

As a gay high schooler when this was on, I thought that this was how I was "supposed" to act. Lol, I ended up just hating myself.

[@libby9001]

@@DrVVVinK God bless you for not acting like that now lol yikes

[@glowcloudwheatproducts495]

Tbf, these are guys in their early 20s who are desperate enough to do a trashy reality show. Not exactly your average gay person, and far from a normal setting.

[@regularperson9965]

@@glowcloudwheatproducts495 lol yes it was literally every gay was like this

[@ZeusGExactly]

@@regularperson9965n..no…

[@nikodallmann1573]

they always pick the ones i think they're least likely to pick

[@tiawinchester1032]

I just want to start off by noting that I'm not proud of watching this video.

[@marcolopez8506]

After watching this, I can say I am happy to be gay in 2018

[@verychilladrian]

you have NO IDEA

[@sharkawakaorb9220]

Good for you

[@hollyspilotro1669]

James: I love to dance Everyone Else: please DON’T do that

[@MarkusAndersen96]

this episode was a lot

[@TheCharlieeFoxShow]

This was a strange attack on the gay community

[@michaelandrews7275]

The guy he called a 4 is the cutest I think

[@Keychain696]

Cody: Men should not own purses! Also Cody: I loved your designer had bag. It shows me you have taste 🤨 I feel like Cody didn't even come on the show to find someone to date, he just wanted the opportunity to be on camera. He reminds me of every gay guy in a high school theater department who auditions for the lead roles but only ever gets supporting parts 🤭

[@genebcolon]

Omg this is better than drag race! Bring this show back!

[@Samuel115s]

I agree 😊

[@sheisveryfamous]

CHOICES 😂

[@shakawalker5184]

Yes

[@JamesBerry-u5g]

You would , but what I would you go

[@thephilosopher5799]

Masculinity is so fragile like what a with the purse thing, I agree with drew

[@LunarEleven]

@BeebsBonanza I don't think you understand what they meant. There's not a psychologist in the world that would agree that femininity is more fragile in the sense they mean. And they weren't saying this show was masculine... They're talking about Cody's gender stereotyping about what "men" can and can't do.

[@keithfoester7326]

omg these are the toxic gay personalities we love.

[@CoopyKat]

@keithfoester7326 "we" = you and your friends only.

[@afergie76]

He is nothing to fight over.

[@tibb75]

The makeup wasn't a turn off at all, but my god, it was all pan. Also Peter is fucking precious.

[@P3myY]

His feet though

[@brentduanefoster]

“I always sing naked in my shower...” Uhhhh, isn’t the purpose of showering to be naked?

[@ThrifterPicker]

This brings me back. I used to love this show. Can I get a Time Machine?

[@jm7804]

Way too mean. There was no need for those rude comments.

[@drewsy4788]

Welcome to the world of gay dating apps lol

[@woody5551]

Mean girls.

[@Torysour]

the gays were aggressive

[@brentduanefoster]

tort Nothing has changed...

[@sistervoid8798]

Were? 😆

[@shakawalker5184]

Yes it was a style

[@GielenKatie]

So much internalized homophobia 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@emomothafucka1335]

In this episode the only excuse you need is I'M GAY!!!!!

[@robertbrolo486]

Emo ur Gay.

[@g.h.7661]

What a blast from the past! I can’t believe how long ago I saw this show. Thank you for these. So awesome ❤️

[@symphonyheart1384]

He ain't wrong cuddling is comforting

[@romama7240]

2000's = internalized homophobia + bad hair + flip flops

[@cip6292]

Accurate 😅

[@zacharybrand8145]

I believe Drew was the hottest guy of the three! I would have definitely chosen him too if that was me on that show!

[@Draggon2003]

I agree 💯

[@RustyPudder-q7c]

James looked like he crawled out of the black lagoon

[@rowanilsley2941]

This is so 2005 it hurts

[@KM-uh5ro]

Back in 2005, the kids in my elementary school were dressed better than this 😂😂😂

[@soccerislife6108]

Did tops exist in the 90's? According to mtv it's a no..

[@shakawalker5184]

Lol

[@trentsmith2131]

Do they exist now haha 😂

[@fullstop7666]

The Madonna room triggered my fight or flight response

[@GrowingRobinArt]

Finally an explanation for the big 2005 viewfinder sales drop.

[@LunarEleven]

I can't believe he called that guy a 4... That was just unnecessary?! This guy is such a tool

[@arilohr5641]

the second guy says he's obsessed with his hair, yet it looks like a rat's nest

[@JoseLopez-xe9mr]

The 8th wonder joke was cringe as hell! 😂

[@liveinlight5575]

I’m gay but watching this is so painful to watch

[@Belacroix5]

This is the shit that I like.

[@xavwill4807]

I sing clothed in my shower

[@Heraklinosable]

Lol

[@xXxXkuramaxXx]

Wow, the gays have come a LONG way. Much more stylish and better looking than most others these days.

[@callanbailey8008]

The way he fluttered his lashes at the end 😂

[@xxTheCatsMeow]

I thought Peter was the cutest.

[@devilovesdevil]

Exactly

[@fatboy462]

He was really holding on to that Mac compact with the crumbs..

[@no-xx1wp]

im an absolute simp for that last guy,he has an avril lavinge poster and omg im so gay for him

[@HiLife4Ewa]

Omg, looking back I cannot believe this show was a thing! Matteo Lane said it right. Shows were just better back then, hahaha.

[@itsjordan7473]

Peters the best one tbh 💯

[@Qrengee]

*"men should not wear makeup" ???* excuse me sir, i expected *you* to have an open mindset. what even is this show?

[@zekashiifarmer]

He is going on a date with them and he doesnt think men should have makeup which is his opinion

[@spumbowumbo3247]

i feel so bad for peter, that was brutal 💀

[@storino03]

Going on a date does not equal starting a relationship right off the bat, o.o

[@bryanfleming3002]

Sing naked in the shower .....umm don't we always be naked in the shower.

[@DJAndrewMoore]

OMG this is amazing!

[@ming9454]

The guy with foot fetish was so mean love him lol

[@calleanarvelo2193]

“I sing NAKED in the shower?” Lol

[@RustyPudder-q7c]

Just incase you thought he did it in clothes

[@alanabroad3471]

12:07 Brutal AF. Bring this show back.

[@TheGeminimax]

Brush my teeth?????? No you ain’t kissin anybody yet 🤣

[@pinkskull1044]

I wanna know where Peter is now, he’s the only hot one 😂

[@NOTB666-p7v]

Sorry hunny, James is the real one!!

[@austinbird8074]

​@NOTB666-p7v i 100% agree with you I would love to know where James is now i really think he's hot and I'm sure he's still hot 19 years later

[@robthompson7958]

"I spend a lot of time on my hair" *Hair looks like absolute shit* hahahahahha

[@JamesTScot]

How much of a blast from the past oh my gosh

[@brlightningxx]

BYE he didn’t have to RATE THEM IN ORDER OF LOOKS OMG 💀

[@eddiegamez3553]

Oh God that awkward kiss at the end.🤣

[@codyb20051]

thw guy is so petty calls the guy a 4 and when he gets chosen its like oh to a new relationship

[@LunarEleven]

He called him a 3 at first! I think it's poetic though, Cody called the other dude a 4 so he deserved to end up with a petty asshole just like himself.

[@Chango_Loco]

I have yet to see an episode of this show where the guys aren't obnoxious.

[@DentalTech1000]

It was written and directed to be that way, to get people to watch. Like a car wreck.

[@Chango_Loco]

@@DentalTech1000 That actually makes sense seeing as how they all seemed to share the same formula. I do feel they did a huge disservice to the gay community tho. :/

[@victorfaria7439]

Gays and their flip-flops back in 2000, thanks God for this change

[@cip6292]

Flip-flops, flared jeans, and shell necklaces 😅

[@grantgilbert2822]

I love how Cody has a lame and effeminate entrance for each house

[@lzmunch]

the third guy is awful but HELLO IM GAY is hilarious

[@MrVoid666]

4? 4!4! Peter was the only cute one, can I go back in time and cuddle? Wonder if he ever embraced his inner 🐻 bear That said the tall guy is a lovable disaster.

[@jab23702]

This was painful as fuck to watch. I'm glad to be a gay 20-something nowadays versus then 😬

[@jaxsonezria]

"I would rate him a 5 or 6." HONEY HAVE YOU SEE YOUR HAIRCUT

[@angelwild9145]

These shows makes me really happy for some reason. I love gay men!!!👍🏻🌹

[@vorpal22]

Definitely better than a 4. I would have picked him.

[@justacollegestudent7326]

He wouldn’t like my room 😂

[@NickGeorgiou]

I sorta feel like the standards were lower in the 2000s

[@kevinphillips2411]

Matteo needs to review this one for sure. Drew is sweet.

[@regularperson9965]

damn it must be cringe i find this nostalgia and kinda the prefect time to go back to

[@vekiisd1977]

I wonder how’s Peter nowadays, he was very handsome here

[@shemarmagee7311]

I liked the Peter guy.

[@marinad249]

Ewwwww the dude raiding is wayyy to whack to critique anyone

[@KchayM]

Im gay a makeup artist and am used to "feminine" stuff but these guys are way too much for me. Sorry not sorry

[@beaniebabybeans]

i love drew 😭😭😂😂

[@ummcynthiana]

James Charles needs to be on this show.

[@JerLebowitz-vn1uf]

the amount of internalized homophobia is absolutely insane

[@benhanson4299]

Do you have any more gay episodes?

[@travisxtopher]

See idk im literally from here during this time and never know these guys

[@remymilleon1650]

i know thats a cliché but everything was so better before

[@P3myY]

1:39 lol it's like they're a swat team

[@AlexLopez-pe4qe]

Everything sounds so forced and fake 😂

[@flakesofgoat]

that’s part of the magic journey

[@frankoceazz]

GOOD HAIR. now that's a stretch.

[@naturipea9225]

how cud the writers give tht dude a 4, im sad for him

[@LunarEleven]

The writers?! That was his opinion. This isn't scripted. And if he didn't think that he wouldn't agree to say it, that wouldn't make sense. One of the people who was on it verified that it's not scripted anyway.

[@pollito7275]

None of them are cute.

[@lucianheartfillia5187]

Peter is hot. I like his face

[@ferenromero5364]

@macdoesit we need you to cover this episode

[@christianmejia4315]

I’ll so go with the 1st guy anyone else 💭☁️

[@salnavarro3049]

What they gonna make… tortillas?

[@alexscott1554]

Why is Cody dressed like an EMT?
