The Room, like all great comedies is lightning in a bottle. It's a key that fits a lock nobody knew about, and I'm not sure what you'd learn by studying it. If I could rephrase your statement slightly, what is funny is the delta between what was intended and what ended up happening. I am going to say something unkind, even though I am literally sitting next to a framed and signed Tommy Wiseau head shot and generally adore the guy. It is very obvious that the room springs largely from what appears to me to be some sort of brain damage.
