The Dressing Room cartoon depicts what happened to the cartoon Gorillaz while the real life "warm up band" usurped the stage from them. As it turns out, the actual band was stuck in the dressing room due to a locked and/or jammed door.

Part 1
(It fades in to an extreme closeup of Murduc as he peeps through the peephole, mumbling and breathing heavily. Eventually, a banjo plays a few notes. He ignores it initially, then it comes up again. Murdoc shushes the player multiple times, but it still plays. Murdoc rolls his eyes and backs away, revealing 2D to be the player.)
Murdoc: Ohhhh... (to 2D) SHUT UP! Shut up! I'm trying to listen at the door.
(Murdoc returns to the door, only to have the banjo play again. He backs away once more.)
Murdoc: Would you PLEASE stop playing that sodding banjo?!
2D: But it helps calm my nerves before the show! (He plucks another string.)
Murdoc: (Pointing to 2D) If you strum another bum note on that hillbily instrument, I'll stick it in your mouth! (Returns to door) Now, where was I? (He leans in) Yeah - Oh there's definitely something going on out there...
(Murdoc jerks at the doorknob but the door won't budge)
Murdoc: Uh-- Oh this door's jammed. (He turns to 2D) Why's the door jammed?
(The sound of a crowd outside becomes more prominent.)
Murdoc: Hang out - What's that? (He leans his ear in at the door) Ah, sounds like the warmup band are getting ready to take the stage. (He backs up and puts his fingers together with a devilish grin) Yeah, won't be long now, peeps, won't be long. (He chuckles as he bares his teeth as the screen fades)

Part 2
(After some time has passed and it's dark out, Murdoc is staring silently at the door, frowning angrily. Behind him, Cyborg Noodle is plugged in and occasionally twitching with elecrticity. Finally, Murdoc shuts his eyes and inhales before shouting.)
Murdoc: How much longer are this warmup band gonna hog the stage for?! Sounds like some sort of... Gorillaz tribute band.
(Suddenly, the sound of a toilet flushing grabs his attention. As a reaction to the flushing, Cyborg Noodle's charger malfunctions. She twitches, then dances as more electricity surges into her, then she slumps over. Murdoc still looks around for the source of the flushing. 2D then enters through a hidden door. Murdoc sees this and shouts, freezing 2D in place.)
Murdoc: Where the bloody hell have you been?!
2D: (innocently turning his head, still frozen in place) Toilet?
Murdoc: "Toilet?!" What do you mean toilet? (he walks over to the door and slaps 2D aside) Where the hell did that door come from? (he pulls on the knob, never bothering to twist it) Aw, it's jammed! Why are all the doors in this dressing room jammed?
(Murdoc grunts as he continues to pull and tug on the door knob. 2D backs away slowly. Murdoc plants his feet on the door and continues to pull at the knob.)
Murdoc: (While grunting) Need-to-get-on-stage-now! Can't-yank-knob-any-HARDER!
(The knob breaks and flies out the window, while Murdoc lands into a bowl of cheese puffs and onto the floor. 2D flinches. Murdoc gets up, cheee puffs flying off him.)
Murdoc: RIGHT - That's it! I'm gonna smash that door down with brute force!
(Yelling, Murdoc charges at the door. The screen goes black with a thud.)

Part 3
(Murdoc is in a depressed state, playing 2D's banjo, sitting in a now trashed dressing room. 2D and Cyborg Noodle are gone, but her plug's are still sending electricity.)
Murdoc: (singing) It's broken...our love... Broken... our love... It's my band... (stops singing) Where did it all go wrong? (sniffs) It's all gone wrong.
(Sirens can be heard approaching the area)
Murdoc (singing) Our love... broken...!
(With one final strum of the banjo, Murdoc slumps over with a groan. Iris out)
