I know this is not the same but , Sometimes people after buying stuff from me and giving the money they FORGET to take the stuff they bought and i have to scream to them so they take their stuff 😂
The Karen skit is awesome. The camera angle on Adam as he looks back at Rowan is perfection, then Adam's running is hilarious. The light shining through the gate on their faces at the end, brilliant.
The problem with the Karen skit is that she was actually right to complain, you can't leave those kinds of signs up after the sale ends. They are obviously misleading, not everyone has time to read the small print. Karen's are actually entitled persons, everything has to bend to their will. It's not about complaining (to the manager) with a valid reason.
I worked in an electronics store for some time myself, and I can confirm: a lot of these are alarmingly accurate representations of customers, possibly more than the layman might even believe…
Let’s pay a huge respect to all retail workers who deal with these type of customers everyday. Also let’s pay for Adam’s therapy. He really needs it. And Rowan is the best ❤
When i had my first job years ago at mcdonalds i had a guy yell and swear at me and demand a new meal, because his fries had fallen over inside his bag. It was scary and hilarious at the same time
The lick skit is probably one of the best ones you guys have ever done. No matter how many times I see it I can't help but laugh my ass off at the sudden appearance and lick from Rowan, and the immediate surrender of Ben. Just perfection at its finest
Playtech series (and every other series on this channel for that matter) are just so rewatchable, I laugh at the same places every time lol. This type of humor is just genius.
Absolutely! I love rowan but honestly, Alan and Hamish are my favourites. If I could meet anyone in the world it would be Alan from viva la dirt (Greg the garlic farmer)
I will say the way that the Karen actress (sadly, don't know her name) projects herself and emphasizes certain words really sells her character and she's SOOOO good at it. I hope we get more of her.
14:33 Alan being a psychopath is quite possibly the best thing across all of VLDL, and that's saying something. I can't believe I forgot this episode of Bored existed.
Alan's face when Rowan licks Ben's face is so funny!! I mean these guys are not only creative, have good sense of humor and successful. They also have great acting skills! So happy I came across your channel years ago and it has been such a privilege to see you guys grow and grow each day. Much love from Turkey
seeing these old videos makes you realise how well these guys have developed physically. Especially ben is jacked af nowdays. same goes for alan and rowan. hats off to you guys
I love how she starts out acting perfectly pleasant, even smiling at the employees, but it still sends chills down their spines. Shes a goddamn powerhouse
The Karen saga always gives me goosebumps. No idea why it's so powerful to me but so well done. One of the best sagas of VLDL for sure. Keep up the amazing work guys and girls!
I know Rowan lost 20 million by totally mismanaging Ellie's payroll and by giving away high end product for free by mistake but on the other hand... he also showed brilliant business sense by constantly cutting payroll costs in Adam and Alan's payroll. He rolled Ben into the employee pool without even paying him and even punished him for dropping playtech equipment. Rowan actually owns Ben by the rules of the street. He kept the Karens at bay and kept them for extorting endless discounts. Both the best and worst of times indeed
Ben and Rowan must be close because that tongue swipe was... something else. The bgm, facial expressions and tone of voice just set that scene up for a perfect ending.
I worked in retail eons ago ... bizarre how things haven't changed. Somebody wrote these from their real-life experiences 😆. VLDL has the best ensemble of comedians/actors in entertainment today, just comedy gold!
You know, I'm surprised that they haven't done employee discount. Love to see Alan or Adam trying to buy something from Rowan as employees and not customers.
This is all solid gold! The music as they begin their conflict, the quotes, the fact that for many stores this isn't a joke, it's just every day business. If you've ever worked in retail, tell me you've never spelled customers with an n.
"Do you want to know what Play Tech does with robbers?" I've seen this one Rowan buys what they've stolen at a huge mark up and berates the staff for trying to call the cops.
Alan’s eyes popping when he says “I told you, we’re closed. . .” is so perfect and sells the brief dissociation he has from reality when he starts speaking in that creepy voice lol.
Y'know... after seeing the Karen episode again, having a compilation of all the times Alan and Rowan are bros together would be really great. Those are some of my favorite moments, when shit goes down and they have that bond. ♥
Ben finally shows up at the new Playtech! Ha ha. Adam running away from the Karen was sooooo funny, but my favorite sketch as a former retail worker is probably the customer coming in after closing. Alan really captured the feeling of the employees in that situation.
I don't work in a tech store, but a regular grocery store, and I've had many of these encounters. Especially Karens... one time a "Karen" came in and told us the fruit is 30% off and she said she didn't get the full 30% "i used to work in a store" and all that shit. So i got tired of arguing said she can talk to my colleague, she works part time as a math teacher, she was gone after 10 seconds of talking with my colleague. Made our day, we talked about it for a long time afterwards 😂
i am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad i chose a job with basicly no customer interaction. and even the very little interaction i have drives me crazy, since it's usually things that are just physically impossible (i'm an engineer)
Amen. If "customers" act up in my job, I can sedate them, or have police detain/arrest them. (EMT here.) Unfortunately, the equivalent of browsing after closing time is the 2am anxiety attack (or abdominal pain from three days ago, or - and this literally happened - trouble sleeping).
My comments usually pass by unnoticed, I just hope you're reding this as I appreciate your work beyond anything. And I recommend it to almost everyone I meet (when appropriate ofc). You're so funny, love you all! Keep it up!
Ben: "I do offer massage, if you're interested" Alan: "We are NOT interested!" Rowan's face: very interested 😆 Or Ben's ears under the beanie... 😂🤣 I just love noticing those littlest details that make great skits even better and show how great VLDL's acting is!
The lady who plays Karen is awesome, i bet she could do shake spear with the same ease. Flat clicker is so funny, i always have that stuck in my head after watching this. Very cute! Also when Alan locks Ben in and raises a sword to him and monologs in an old upper crust English accent is brilliant. Alan can play an everyman very convincingly but he can also go convincing psycho in a heart beat. Love! This is a great complication! Everyone did a wonderful job and no one will have to be sent to the teaspoon punishment closet! 🎉❤😂🎉❤😂🎉❤
Almost every skit has the feeling of an epic movie. You forget you're watching a 5 minute skit and not a feature length film. They're so good at putting implied story subtext beyond the skit itself.
The scented candles scenario us just like the time I learned we had a toaster at the hardware store I work at. I no longer make assumptions about our stock.
10:08 hahahaha ohhh that's too much. If only Adam had tuned it down to what everyone uses except official documentation. ALL I NEED IS YOUR *LAST* NAME!!!!!!!!
There is one I would suggest to add to the skits. When I was in retail, one customer came in with her kids and as she payed them no mind, they started just sweeping all the product onto the ground. I was looking at her, at them, and back to her and she did not say a darn thing. Chaos Children.
They're preparing us for the upcoming showdown against Karen. It'll probably start with Ben on her side (reluctantly), and then *maybe* have him turn against her when everyone else is about to be struck down! OR HE GETS STRUCK DOWN IN THEIR DEFENSE!
07:35 oh boy, I know this kind. "I need a protector thing" - a.... protector-thing? protector for what part exactly? "yeah this metal one" .... aaaallright do you have an article number? - sends picture of entire construction - "that part I mean". GREAT!
The Karen actress is brilliant, every scene with her is a masterpiece.
One Karen to rule them all!
Exactly!
We need more of her for the new store :P
She's great. She must be a theater actor.
I would like to see her in big screens. She seems to be an awesome actor.
I love how much this shows Adam's slow descent into madness as reality crumbles around him.
my favourtie episode, i jsut missed a splatter of blood pouring trough the gate and some squishy noise along with the screams
i was hoping for Alan to descend into madness and end up doing something bad, i love to see it because of all Rowan's idiocy

@@EEEEEEEE E
Ben's acting is so good. He feels natural. I love everyone else but Ben seems like he has a gift for acting.
yea everyone is amazing but ben just feels so damn real
so true. always loved Ben
I think he has a background in acting. And according to his IMDB page he also did a couple of tv shows.
Rowan was in Spartacus 😄
Maybe Ben ISN'T acting 🤣
I’ll never get over Rowan agreeing to pay Ben in cash and then they just shake hands and leave with no exchange of money
Absolutely boss move.
Oh good. I'm not the only one who noticed that. One of Rowan's redeeming scenes.
Pretty sure that was an inside job 🤣🤣🤣
I know this is not the same but ,
Sometimes people after buying stuff from me and giving the money they FORGET to take the stuff they bought and i have to scream to them so they take their stuff 😂
@@zweihander00 I've been that customer. I'm always very grateful for the cashier who goes the extra mile to make sure I leave with my purchase.
I'm convinced Ben is the reason Playtech went out of business.

I imagine the actual Ben coming into my store, and begin to panic, because I can't tell if he is being serious when he says "I AM FURIOUS!"
nah it's rowan
Nah. Allie is why playtech closed. Getting paid 1000s per hour.
@@crackrjack31 maybe, but Rowan was never responsible enough to make payroll. The company still probably owes her money.
"By the rules of the street, I own thee..." My most quoted line! Love it!
I cried
The Karen skit is awesome. The camera angle on Adam as he looks back at Rowan is perfection, then Adam's running is hilarious. The light shining through the gate on their faces at the end, brilliant.
i really thought he was going to punch her, or she was going to start bawling and playing the victim

It's called the "Bored" series

She's an amazing actress. Really feel the entitlement in her acting.
I hope she had a lot of fun doing that.
Another commenter said her name is Alison Quigan
the secret sauce it she aint acting ;)
14:33 Alan being a psychopath is quite possibly the best thing across all of VLDL, and that's saying something. I can't believe I forgot this episode of Bored existed.
His sudden accent was so on point and hilarious..
I love the fact that Karen is Ben's mother according to the TTRPG
oh gosh that makes so much sense
Lolololololololool
I always assumed that was the case.
Nahhh man! No way Ben paid full price for headphones. I suppose it could have been a never before seen little brother.
Ben bought something? Outrageous!

Karen saying "I am a registered Google user!" has had me chuckling for a few minutes now.
seeing these old videos makes you realise how well these guys have developed physically. Especially ben is jacked af nowdays. same goes for alan and rowan. hats off to you guys
E
"-AHHH....I NEED YOUR SURNAME....SO I CAN PUT IT IN THE COMPUTER!" is the best acting Adam has had so far lmao
That first clip with Karen was intense, and as a former chick fil a manager I’ve gotta say, it was absolutely beautiful.
Did you have to deal with many registered Google users as well?
I love how she starts out acting perfectly pleasant, even smiling at the employees, but it still sends chills down their spines. Shes a goddamn powerhouse
13:23 one of Alan's best and most terifying performance ever.. Ben getting what he deserves once in his life 😅
The Karen saga always gives me goosebumps. No idea why it's so powerful to me but so well done. One of the best sagas of VLDL for sure. Keep up the amazing work guys and girls!
The "Karen" episode was so epic. The voices, the acting. Perfection.
I know Rowan lost 20 million by totally mismanaging Ellie's payroll and by giving away high end product for free by mistake but on the other hand... he also showed brilliant business sense by constantly cutting payroll costs in Adam and Alan's payroll. He rolled Ben into the employee pool without even paying him and even punished him for dropping playtech equipment. Rowan actually owns Ben by the rules of the street. He kept the Karens at bay and kept them for extorting endless discounts. Both the best and worst of times indeed
This is exactly why Rowan wears a black shirt while others are just low socio-economic peasants.
The way Alan just just abandoned him when she walks in. Lol
Ben and Rowan must be close because that tongue swipe was... something else. The bgm, facial expressions and tone of voice just set that scene up for a perfect ending.
That's all because of Ben's magic hands. He trained in Bali!
I worked in retail eons ago ... bizarre how things haven't changed. Somebody wrote these from their real-life experiences 😆. VLDL has the best ensemble of comedians/actors in entertainment today, just comedy gold!
For those that didn't know, Ben still being in the cupboard bit is here. They never show him being let out.😂
He's probably still running his business from the bathroom as well
@@Bobawe321they moved stores so prolly not.
It would be nice that he opens a new bussiness in the teaspoon drooping cuppboard. 😂😂
I wish this side character will return. Scented candles episode and Last Name are one of my favourites 😂
Why is clear cookies from the case not in this super cut?
You know, I'm surprised that they haven't done employee discount. Love to see Alan or Adam trying to buy something from Rowan as employees and not customers.
Ben's accent and narration of 'The Heist' is superb. He's got great range.
When Alan goes full psychotic break, Im here for it
These sat morning (UK time) super cuts are a great start to the weekend lately… keep ‘em coming!
It's early afternoon here in South Africa, but it's also the weekend so I've just woken up, I love waking up to a new VLDL vid 😃
'twas early evening AEST
This really highlights how great of actors you all truly are.
This is all solid gold! The music as they begin their conflict, the quotes, the fact that for many stores this isn't a joke, it's just every day business. If you've ever worked in retail, tell me you've never spelled customers with an n.
Took me 3 tries to figure out where the n went.
2:51 pulled up like frieza🙏💀 her voice too🙏💀
"Do you want to know what Play Tech does with robbers?" I've seen this one Rowan buys what they've stolen at a huge mark up and berates the staff for trying to call the cops.
6:21 "She will be back and in greater numbers" is such a nice tip of the hat to Star Wars!
I don't want to insult that Karen actress by saying she's the perfect Karen, but goddamn she is the perfect Karen.
Alan’s eyes popping when he says “I told you, we’re closed. . .” is so perfect and sells the brief dissociation he has from reality when he starts speaking in that creepy voice lol.

Idk which is funnier, Ben and Rowan adamantly agreeing on something or them adamantly disagreeing on something 😂 both bits always get me rolling 😂
Reminded once again of the terrifying preformance of the karen. That woman did an amazing job.
"So this is... *Play* *Tech*..."
The line delivery, the lighting and angle of the shot, absolutely brilliant! ❤
Since Ben became Karen's son I knew it was coming, just need a skit with both of them 😂
That last one "you lick it you keep it" ha he didn't expect the manager to play the Uno reverse card 😂😂😂
This compilation was just what I needed. I realized how many episodes I must have missed.
Watch the whole serie from the beginning, you'll have a lot of fun 😂
I don't work in a tech store, but a regular grocery store, and I've had many of these encounters.

Thanks for this. I'll say it again, your first Karen episode was one of your all-time best.
Was waiting for "the Karen!"
Me too! I knew she would ve back in this store
We need the super manager
I was waiting for the guy with the gaming Mac.
Never ever EVER let someone in after closing, it doesn't end well... EVER
If the gate is down NEVER interact with a customer outside.
My comments usually pass by unnoticed, I just hope you're reding this as I appreciate your work beyond anything. And I recommend it to almost everyone I meet (when appropriate ofc). You're so funny, love you all! Keep it up!
When they were staring out from behind the gate I really wanted to hear Greg say, "are we safe now?" 😂😂😂😂
Ben: "I do offer massage, if you're interested"
Alan: "We are NOT interested!"
Rowan's face: very interested 😆
Or Ben's ears under the beanie... 😂🤣
I just love noticing those littlest details that make great skits even better and show how great VLDL's acting is!
Alan's acting in In & Out was glorious
I'd love a cut-together of every scene Adam flees. You could call it "Adam's Run".
"Adam, you can't keep running off, you're the new guy!"
Ben has clearly spent time working in retail cause it's not just the writing that is on point.
We need more....KAREN! She was brilliant.
Her "Ahhhhh......there you are" line still haunts me! :P
Yeah, she's like an old school disney villain! ❤
I get chills every time I hear it.
It was great to rewatch these episodes, fun and entertaining. Never ever get bored of these skits 😂
Relatable. I work at a pharmacy and got sworn at 2 times and yelled at an additional 4 times yesterday.
Really makes you hate humanity.
There are no bad customers, only people who need directions to the exit
"By the rules of the street...I own thee" after giving him a big lick lmfao
The way ben says outrageous, that shit's dingo
The acting of the sword part is impeccable
OMG Somebody help me up !! That look on Ben's face at 14:54 is PERFECT !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I also really enjoy how 90% of "The worst customers in history" is just Ben. 🤣
@6:11 The best part! I love the music as well. Reminds me of Star Trek TNG, The best of Both Worlds Cliff hanger music! lol
I love the Karen episodes, the actress is awesome and I love that's one of the times Rowan stands up for his employees lol
25:30 my favorite part,and i watch you guys for like 5 years
that licking the face part got me good wasn't expecting it
The Karen actress legit gives me chills. She absolutely nailed the role of angry annoying Karen. She is amazing!
The lady who plays Karen is awesome, i bet she could do shake spear with the same ease. Flat clicker is so funny, i always have that stuck in my head after watching this. Very cute! Also when Alan locks Ben in and raises a sword to him and monologs in an old upper crust English accent is brilliant. Alan can play an everyman very convincingly but he can also go convincing psycho in a heart beat. Love! This is a great complication!

Almost every skit has the feeling of an epic movie. You forget you're watching a 5 minute skit and not a feature length film. They're so good at putting implied story subtext beyond the skit itself.
Evil Alan is terrifying. Evil Alan vs Karen would be interesting.
13:30 I've been waiting for the moment when Alan's latent serial killer took over and ended Ben's customer character.😂
Very funny yet very sad. Almost anybody that has worked in retail has dealt with these sorts.
Having The Planets Mars playing during the Karen was amazing!
Knowing Karen is Bens Mum 😂
The Karen actress voice is perfect for Audiobook on any Warhammer 40K story regarding The Sisters of Battles or Chaos related story
I really missed Bens monopoly money 😂
Ikr 😭
2:50 and thats when the adventureers felt true fear for the first time.
The scented candles scenario us just like the time I learned we had a toaster at the hardware store I work at. I no longer make assumptions about our stock.

There is one I would suggest to add to the skits. When I was in retail, one customer came in with her kids and as she payed them no mind, they started just sweeping all the product onto the ground. I was looking at her, at them, and back to her and she did not say a darn thing. Chaos Children.
