But after 12 chapters the triangle was more like a lopsided octagon, with a dozen characters and as many cliffhangers. The dramas hinged on unlikely plot devices: leg cramps, pie allergies, the surprising things one finds hiding in cupboards. Now “Trapped in the Closet,” the tale of infidelity, violence and violent infidelity by R. Kelly, the R&B star, is getting, if possible, even more complex.

Kelly has created 10 more episodes of his cult video series, which he and a cast lip-sync as he narrates the story to a lilting, and unchanging, beat, punctuated by the sound of water dripping. Since Monday, the IFC cable channel’s Web site,, has been streaming one new chapter daily. On Tuesday, Jive, Mr. Kelly’s record label, plans to release a DVD collection of the latest episodes, and next month IFC will present all 22 chapters consecutively, like a film.

Given the plot twists — Episode 9: “Not only is there a man in this cabinet/But the man is a midget! Midget!)” — fan anticipation is almost absurdly high. Private viewing parties, tribute performances and singalong screenings are scheduled for around the country, celebrating the first hip-hopera/alt-comedy/independent video crossover hit.

A comedy blog,, posted summaries of the byzantine storyline; they eventually ended up in a best music-writing anthology. Spoofs appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live”; a “South Park” episode in which Tom Cruise was trapped in a closet generated its own controversy. Last spring there were two comedy shows devoted to it running in Los Angeles.

Both played to sold-out houses, even when they were on the same night. “ ‘Trapped in the Closet’ has that ‘oh my’ factor, so that you’re actually laughing at, laughing with, and actually shocked by it,” said Henri Mazza, a creative director at the Original Alamo Draft House, a movie theater in Austin, Tex., which is planning a midnight DVD screening, complete with subtitled sing-alongs and prop giveaways, like a condom printed with the words “oh my God, a rubber! Rubber!)” — see Episode 4. “There’s no way you can’t enjoy it.” Photo. Kelly as a preacher, another role he plays in his video serial, “Trapped in the Closet,” which has spawned its own cottage industry of spoofs and parodies. Which is not to say you can understand it.

“You can’t tell if he is a genius or a guy who just saw the definition for cliffhanger in the dictionary yesterday and decided to run with it,” Mr. Mazza said of Mr. “I think that’s one of the things that keeps you coming back. I’ve watched it 25 times at least, and I’m still going, ‘Wait, what?’ ” The new chapters raise the ante: There’s a helicopter, a church choir and Mr. Sql Injection Tool Get Cc Cvv Dumps here.

Kelly “chooses to get into a space ship and fly to another planet.” With the comedian Eric Appel, Mr. Ansari developed a popular “Trapped in the Closet” commentary show at theaters in New York and Los Angeles last year; he plans to reprise it at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Manhattan on Aug.
