Rowan get extremely creative when it comes to not paying the staff
Who's Rowan? Oh, you mean the black shirt manager?
"creative"
He's a human version of Mr Crabs
Its because hes pay Ellie so much
Well, he's got families to pay. The staff will get fed though.
"the pay here is so good" "we should take half pay" Said no employee ever
XD XD
half pay is better than no pay. just like millions of small business employees learned last year.
Said every manager ever
Man, the pay here is really good. But it could be better
@@NoESanity
That's not true at all. Unemployment benefits. Heck, there's full positions open and people won't go back to them, because we literally have completely destroyed the economy and paychecks haven't kept up for 50 years... So people are done with the system and won't go back to work.
What are they working for? A house they'll be able to afford 3 lifetimes after they're dead? A social security system that won't exist by the time they're old, assuming they even live long enough to get old?
Anyway, sorry to get so real and tell you how completely screwed you are. What I really meant was... Mornin'! Nice day for fishin', ain't it? Hu ha!
Rowa- “shows up, starts work on his first day, suggest to everyone they deserve half pay, leaves the same day back to France” what a great employee
What an awful workspace though if it compels you to leave the country after a single day.
That's a "good colleague".
no, he come a few times every year i think 1:06
@@SushiCat0316id imagine he has a different identity every time😂 if a guy named rowa started 2 times every year for a day at work, after a decade it would be like the holidays.
Isn't this the exact script for Magenta Riddim by DJ Snake 😂
Low key "wait, you guys are getting paid" at the end there 😂
Poor Adam
LMFAOOO WHY ARE U HERE XDDD
Lé nordic baldmann
I spot a wild baldie
@@BarricadeThirty7 yes yes
"Now for the tough one: Alan. BUT I've got a plan"
Does the exact same thing he did with Ellie and Adam.
The get half pay every month so that just went with it. But Rowans master plan is he wants to pay them half of that half 😆
not really..he also added "i agree" in the end which would confuse alan into thinking he did
@xDNikolaus motion? Or E-motion? :D
That was still tough: he had to dodge that direct question.
It's almost as if he has done too many of those NPC skits and he can only talk in voicelines now.
"Holy crap! I just realized I have to get back to France!"
I'm using that excuse to get out of work tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Pretty sure your work would be like: thats fine. You can also stay there and not come back
I'm wondering if it worked?
Maen di olympus si kakek lagi PMS kali yah ngelemparin petir mulu, Mantap bang video nya semangat terus, nih w kasih web yg lebih gacor bang *SLOOT K1NG 69* c
"Oh My God! I left the baby on the bus!"
If you have a valid reason like a family emergency happened then it will definitely work.
I was half expecting a twist that he wasnt actually Rowan and he was actually just a new employee
They already did that with a secret shopper sketch as I recall.
Search up their mystery shopper one haha
Do you guys remember ghost? The janitor, The Master employee it was a real twist
Same, the expected becomes the unexpected.
same lmaoo
The question is are we huggers yet? Do we hug
My favorite sentence of the century
good morning. nice day for fishin' innit?
@@marduke45 Hu ha!
WHO ARE WE?
@@MultiGaves we're huggers
Rowan : "we just got a new employee"
Alan : "what's their name?"
Rowan : "their.. name? Uh.. Bae.. lin?"
Alan : "Baelin?"
Rowan : "yeah, Baelin. I'm gonna be real busy today so you might not actually see me today"
Baelin : "mornin' nice day for fishin' ain't it? Hu ha"
Missed crossover opportunity!!!
Nice day for halving salaries, huh huh
I Hope they will make more crossovers in future
That would have been so much better lol
Best disguise ever
I actually believe Ellie is supporting Alan and Adam with her massive pay so they can manage to survive...
Or her 150k a year pay is why they are struggling haha.
@@Madrock7777 indeed
@@Madrock7777 just like the billionaires do, Rowan the black shirt manager gets the blame while her gets the money
"It's actually easier just to go with it..." 🤣🤣🤣
Going to point out this line to my wife
@@sephiroth8377 😭😂
Big fan!
@@sephiroth8377 true! Wouldn’t it be a lot better for everyone if they all said that? 😂
Rowan has an uncanny ability to deliver the same line several times and have it be awesome every time.
Rowan: "Genius Manager"
Others: "Red Shirt Peasant" xD
Xd
Wait! I got a heart by VLDL? Doooo my eyes deceive meee?
Wat?
Red shit peasant
Do mine eyes deceiveth me?!
first time seeing rowan in a red shirt since the early days of Bored
and it looks WEIRD
That's Rowa. Jeez
Who's Rowan? You mean the black shirt manager? No, he's Rowa. He's french.
I think he should have been visibly wearing his black shirt under red shirt which would make it a lot funnier😂😂
You mean Rowan The Black shirt manager, no his name is Rowa he is French
I love how this is slowly becoming 'The Office" I love the direction this series is taking
Yes I noticed that too xd
I can't believe they thought Rowa and Rowan are the same person.🙄🙄
It's absolutely despicable, complete disrespect from those red shirt peasants. I hope the next time Rowa comes back he'll convince them to not get payed that month. Horrible behavior they have.
NEW GODZILLA AWM create opening:
th-cam.com/video/lR3us-t-0hs/w-d-xo.html
ikr, they're CLEARLY different people. I mean, did you hear that accent? Rowa is definitely French smh. I swear these red shirt peasants need to know their stations in life and NOT correct the black shirt managers. It's just common decency.
Outrageuous! Everyone knows that is physically impossible!
@@glasgowrangers5525 get the joke idiot?
They should do a sketch were they all quit and Rowan is going insane so he adopts their personalities.
He’s such a great actor that I’m sure he would offend the cast with super accurate depictions of them and all the annoying stuff they do hahaha
That would be disturbing
@@lilheinz9496 which would cause them
To come back
@@lilheinz9496 I think people don't use other people's ideas because of the copyright laws. You'd have to ask them about that, but if someone suggests a scenario, they might not be able to use it unless they pay you, which isn't going to happen. These guys are creative enough on their own, they don't need help, and will probably get to all those great ideas we all have, sooner or later.
@@hermionegardener3796 That isn’t how copyright works.
To get a copyright, you need to get it admitted by the irademark institution which makes copyrights in your country. There’s a global institution which covers most of the planet., with a few minor exceptions.
Just coming up with something, posting it on the internet and calling it a day doesn’t give you a trademark with a copyright.
A copyright exists for official intellectual property(Trademark), which becomes protected only when you have it admitted as such in the above mentioned institution.
Meaning: If you came up with elaborate schematics for the best machine ever built, post it on the internet, and someone else trademarks those schematics before you, you’re f*cked.
Katro lo pada lom coba *SL0T K1NG69*
“ is he paying you? is that where our money is going!?” Hilarious ending. I love this type of direction Rowan took
Who's Rowan? Oh, you mean the black shirt manager? I'm Rowa. I'm French.
I guarantee Rowan also paid himself for Rowa’s hours worked in addition to what he would normally make
Half to agree that ending was epic funny.
Only half?
@@GreyFox85 well I agree wholly
4:24 I like how all three have different feelings :
Adam : disbelief
Ellie : discontent
Alan : weariness
setia banget gue mah sama *SLOOT K1NG 69* dikasih maxwin terus biarpun seminggu sekali juga mantab bener seneng dah gua...
Imagine a new coworker coming in and trying to convince everyone including your boss to half everyone’s pay.
They’d be removed like Julius Caesar.
And then leaving minutes later
They would have been sent to the freezer and locked in until they stop saying such plainly outrageous things like this.
Ceaser had it easy man that person would be.....*shudders
"Oh holy crap, I just realised I have to get back to France"
This bit killed me
Same
I had a boss who literally believed his own bullshit. I can totally picture him trying to pull something off like that and in the end believing that he actually had an employee from France and that everyone came up with that paycut idea on their own.
Rowa's disguise is so good that he's even wearing the old Playtech uniform instead of the new one
Good catch!
Wow very good catch. I had to go back and rewatch.
That's a very clever touch
Whoa whoa, who is Rowan? Oh you mean Rowan, the black shirt manager? No, no, no. That was Rowa, he's French and in France it's not the old Playtech shirt
"Rowan, who's rowan? Oh, you mean the black shirt manager? Nono, my name's Rowa, I am french."
Get's funnier every time he repeats it.
I can't believe they keep a straight face
Actually in French Rowan has the same spelling as in English... only pronunciation is different..
I love how after all this time Alan is always immediately just onto Rowan's schemes, no matter what.
This reminds me of the Janitor from Scrubs when he spends an entire episode trying to make JD and Turk think he has a twin brother.
He totally did have a twin though :P
It makes me so happy to see a fellow scrubs fan
@@StylishSwaps Best show ever.
The things you can accomplish when you have an obsession and too much free time
@@capp00 Well, the first few seasons anyway.
This the best parody for undercover boss
@jack in the box Pretty sure you did not watch Key & Peele's paradoy
This ain't a parody, this is IRL.
Well no. But it comes close. Matt the radar technician is the best.
Kylo Ren as Matt Radar Technician is better.
Only the OG fans know that Rowan used to be a Redshirt himself
Yeah but he got jealous of alan's black shirt so the employee and manager shirts got switched
@@nimon503 So true but I missed the gag about him running after an argument, btw one of the workers before Alan going on Playtech dispeared where is the poor guy, he should come back at least to get fired :p
I liked how Rowan had a car tire around his belly when he had a red shirt on. I mean Rowa the French guy.
Let’s just admit that Rowan is very good at playing characters that only say one line
Mornin‘. nice day for fishin‘ , ain‘t it? Hu-ha!
Rowan? The black shirt manager? 😂
@@dannywade9138 No, it's Rowa. I am from France
Mornin'!
@@aleks5405 Massive pay cuts 😂
It would had been funny if suddenly rowan and rowa appeared at the same time
Feel like that would have been to much like mystery shopper one if they did that
Something like that actually happened in Bored Ep 80 Mystery Shopper: th-cam.com/video/BGZJEoZ-7aY/w-d-xo.html
and then from the back janitor Rowan comes
they've already done that with the Mystery Shopper..
Just like seeing Batman and Bruce Wayne at the same time
kalo *SL OT KI NG 6 9* si uda langganan lama aku itu
As I am french myself, I am shocked at how well Rowan's impression was.
Who is Rowan ? Oh, you mean black shirt manager ,
no, my name is Rowa , I am french
A french person would refuse to speak english.
@@roflax7242 probably he's from Canada ;) in Canada all speak in french and in english of course , a true native french from France is like "Moi ? je suis tres content!" je m'appelle Henry"
Pas du tout, mec
French people who are able to speak english with no accent can be counted on two hands... of a people at last stage of leprosy.
Rowan: Hey guys we have a new employee!
Rowa: Let's mug em!
Rowan: Great idea!
Everyone else: ...
The fact Rowan seems so proud of himself for coming up with such a ludacris idea just feels spot on!
Hey guys I've been thinking , the subscriptions here are just so good I feel bad . Do You think we should take half the subscriptions this month ? I agree ! xD
Consider it done 😂
And what about patreon? Its a lot of money. Lets give them only half of it. XD
@@Chocobooo92 I feel really bad about it. But ok. It's done.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
VLDL needs to see this
Everytime Rowan has another one of his bright ideas, Adam, Alan and Ellie are slowly losing their sanity.
Well in this case, they are used to it.
They said he does this a few times a year
There was a moment with Alan where I was seriously expecting a not-surprise appearance of the golf club.
@@ScooterBond1970 No, only when someone plays games on a Mac
Rowa is the physical representation of skyrim’s AI.
I´m constantly amazed at how Rowan makes my feelings sway from "i really like this guy he has charisma" (actor) to "my god i hate this guy" (character)
True, the same with Ben. Such a great actor, but you constantly want to punch him in the face 😄
@@christianstachl oh that´s true! :))))) and then you check his chill Art streams and forget all about it :D
@@guardianoftime2
Honestly, i only heard recently that he also streams. I'm not so active on Twitch, but i guess i have to watch him now from time to time 😅 What's his Twitch name?

Too late, but thanks for the link 😊
I love how Alan just isn't shocked by anything Rowan does anymore.
It's sad acception
Whos Rowan? Oh you mean Rowan the black shirt manager, he’s Rowa, he’s French.
oh no, he half expects it if not fully :D genius..
Well, Adam pays to work, so that's why he wasn't worried.
Well, Adam pays to work, so that's why he wasn't worried.
It’s funny how at 4:30 Rowan looked at the camera and noticed he made a mistake but still played along.
"Rowan the black shirt manager"
"Rowa the red shirt peasant"
Red Shirt Peasant>Adam King
"King"
Me: *confused*
Every other show "Rowan the no shirt guy"
"Is he paying you!?... is that where our money is going??" 😂😂😂
I like the filming style from the Office, you could do more videos like this
The fact Rowan knew Rowa's name at all, is a giant red flag.
Not knowing the name, disappearing all day and not seen all believable. Knowing an employees name, something is up.
@@backupplan6058 Exactly
@@backupplan6058 Superior plan "What's his name?"
"I don't fucking give a shit."
I suspect they are the same person. But I could be wrong.
That disguise is on the level of Team Rocket
I can't count the times they just put on a fake mustache and a different outfit and got away with it
That’s so accurate lmao my 4 year old watches the old VHS and it makes me laugh everytime I see them on each episode pretending to be someone else
That is very perceptive of you! Have a compliment!
@@KingIsulgard Well thank you, it's nice of you to say that
@@jotheunissen9274 Well yes, money is tight this month so we'll be paying you in compliments instead.

Ellie gets paid 189 a hour in a few other skits. So, she's not missing out
In "Rowa's" defense, Ellie's pay actually is really good.
$140 an hour 😂 yeah, $70 is a good pay cut 😂
I think Ellie's pay rate might be the actual reason why Rowan didn't have enough to pay everyone, but he's just so bad at the books he hasn't been able to work it out. :P

You guys should make a skit of bored where Rowan does something like this but instead of Elle, Adam, and Alan waiting, they would also go to the hall and watch Rowan talking to himself 😆🤣😂
Rowa didn't even get the new red shirts. man playtech is really struggling
Love how Alan already knew something was up so he asked for their name 🤣😂
I love how he doesn't even try do a French accent.
But he DID try. You didnt notice the difference?
and not even come up with a fake name
I think he did try it was just so awful
I was expecting some guttural r and some nasalized vowels
This NEW character’s lines have the same sprit of Baelin’s lines 😆
“Who’s Rowan? You mean the black shirt manager Rowan?”
“I’m Rowa. I’m French.”
His redemption arc where he fights off the actual manager with baguettes will be amazing
I would answer you know what ? I think we should get double the pay. And foodstamps
And then ask al employees if they agree
“Genius manager”
Rowan
“Red shirt peasants”
The crew.
That made me laugh like a crazy
Adam at the end got me LMAO
Adam: the voice of reason
the company is raggedy, but they keep working there lmao
- "Is that where our money's going ?"
I'm dead -_-
Adam is waking up! :D
Also he was named "red shirt peasant" too hahah
don't worry Rowan will ressurect you, so you can go back and restock the shelfes.
The murderous intent in Alan’s eyes will never get old
I’m just surprised Rowan don’t use Ben more often for this stuff. He owns him.
I thought for sure Alan would knock Rowan out this time LOL
Alan:What's their name?
Rowan: What's that?
Alan: What's their name?
Rowan:Manemejeff
Lmao
Did you know ? The actor who plays Rowa actually already appeared on the channel. It's the same actor that plays the one of the muggers in Epic NPC.
Pffft
Haha indeed they are the same
Rowan also plays Baelin the Fisher Man. I believe he went on a quest recently as an adventurer. That is something Greg the Garlic Farmer has been dreaming about for a very long time.
Morning! Nice day for a Quest, aint it! Hu ha
@@Joshua-ew6ks Rowan ? Oh you mean the black shirt manager. No I'm talking about Rowa, who is a totally completely différent person.
"Huh, who's Rowan? Oh, you mean the black shirt manager? No I'm Rowa, I'm French"
That was probably the kindest paycut Adam has ever got
Dose he get paid ANYTHING at this point lol.
@@theunitedcommonwealth715 maybe he has to pay rowan to work there by now
What's half of nothing? 🤔😆
I love how Alan looks so Dead when Rowan enters, Alans sight.
*Rowa 🇫🇷
LOL, since I took over my department I have been VLDL Gaslighting all the other techs... Today I convinced a new guy that PTO means "Paid Time On" and not off..and that it means they have to come in anyway. Also told everyone that paycuts are part of the uniform..and if things don't get fixed...they take it from your checks...
“What’s their name?”
Was expecting the “some filthy economic peasant” line 😂
Baelin: Morning! Nice day for fishing, ain't it?
Rowaa: Rowan? You mean the black shirt manager? No no no. My name is Rowa, I'm French.
Let’s go mug em!
Hard.
2:22 Even the subtitles/closed caption knows that's Rowan.
0:11 I love that after all this time Adam is still excited like a little naiive child each time Rowan announces something.
I would have liked to see one of them speak to Rowa in French, and see him struggle or answer in Italian
(Btw Hello from france guys, you got fans here !)
Just cut the elly's pay. She get payed way more then the other.
"I just realized I gotta go back to France" now that's pure genius
2:38 _”Rowan, I’m literally paying you to work at this point, just give me a break”_
This was amazing
Elly doesn't even have to try and defend her pay she knows she will still be on more on half pay than everyone else on full pay 😂
Truth, so I'm not sure why she's so upset, unless earning all that cash led her to live a high class life that she will be strapped to afford with only half of her pay this month.
And I can't remember, but wasn't there a thing about paying them only once every six months or something. Did that get redacted? If they got half pay that month and are still doing the one pay per six months or whatever it was, that'd be a lot more than just half a month lost wages.
Gotta admit, kinda hard to keep the lore consistent in my head.
@@jaykay6222 Not to get to real here because it's all a joke video ofc. But most people do tend to increase their monthly spending up to whatever they are making a month such that if their pay was cut in half they wouldn't be able to make all of their bills. Basically people will stretch their paychecks to their limits and then complain they live paychack to paycheck because they bought too much car or rent too much house.
@@SoloAdvocate I see you have taken in by those with the wealth attempt to deflect and suggest being poor is a choice.
@@SoloAdvocate Ditch the bullshit. Most people spent as much as they need to and then a little bit extra on luxury stuff. If the spending of someone increases when their wage increases, it's because their wage was way too low to live a normal life. Stop kicking down for once and kick up to the sociopathic billionaires who are hoarding money.
The minimum wage in the US is currently lower than it was during the great depression, and that didn't happen by accident or because minimum wage workers were fine with it. And the median wage has also dropped massively. Just take a look at the median wage in the packing industry before sociopath Bezos came along and spent millions into making sure he could treat worse than he treats trash.
There is a skit where they all get paid in cash. We could re-watch that, freeze frame when they spread out the cash and then work out how much each gets paid per month.
I'm surprised Alan and Adam even have enough money to live given the number of pay cuts they get. When he started, Adam wasn't even getting paid
Nice day for undercover aint it ! Hu ha
You missed the "Mornin'!" xD
@@lauraalba3564 my bad 🤦🏻♂️
The funny thing is usually the french language doesn't pronounce the last letter in their words, so Rowa name is kinda accurate lol
"Mornin'! Nice day for a pay cut, ain't it? Huh-huh!"
Thanks for that... I just shot coffee out my nose laughing at your comment.
I love how Playtech lets the guys do their videos at their site, using their brand, with scenarios of complete workers' right abuse. Sure, they are a local player and not some global company but still it takes some serious sense of humor and humilty.
Agreed,i think it's awesome.
Wait.... this company does really exist? Oh god, my whole life is a lie....
@@Lorian667 I thought the company was fake too....
I'm going to shop there next time just because of these great skits. I have to show some support for a company that has a sense of comedy and doesn't refuse Viva La Dirt League in fear of bad PR.
none of the cast even work there
@@Mark12434 that reason is exactly why they have this partnership lol. Now you'd be more inclined to shop there. Good publicity.
It's times like this where I like to imagine that Ellie keeps Adam and Alan on their feet with the enormous amounts of money she's saved but just never mentions it.
I love how Rowan just had that "French" hat on stanby.
Who's Rowan? Oh, do you mean Rowan black shirt manager? No no no. His names Rowa, he's a red shirt just like them. He's French.
My Frenchiness is hurt so bad that I can’t stop laughing 🤣
I'm so sorry for this skit
But, he's so french! Just look at his beret!
Yes yes, but he lack the baguette and the fromage ! And where is the mime ? Saperlipopette, sacrebleu !
He had no baguette 2/10
As an Indonesian I.....
Nothing. Just want to reply
Rowan can't afford to pay everyone because Ellie makes more in a day than the store makes in a week.
The reveal that Adam was stareing confused wondering why there was a camera crew and not because Rowans poor acting really got me LOL
Rowa was so convincing, that I now have to start supporting VLDL through Patreon...
I feel bad. It's time to start supporting through Patreon
But only pay half the tier 😂
Fisherman Guy NPC- Same words when talking
Rowan in Disguise- Same words when talking about half pay and ohh you mean Rowan the black shirt guy? HAHAHAHA
You guys absolutely nailed the reality TV feeling, with the interviews, and the music, 11/10
Adam's interview at the end was the best. Every expression of his throughout the entire video was priceless
Just realised the little detail that 'Rowa' is wearing the old Playtech uniform
Nothin’ new here, just rowan been rowan
Truth...
You mean Rowan, the black shirt manager? Nah that's a completely different person.
Who's rowan?

I use the same stare every day
Rowa should come out with Rowan at the end from the back office...lol.
Rowan, always thinking 2 steps ahead
Adam's face when he heard the words half pay. 😂😂
Adams pay is an asymptote at this point, constantly becoming less while never reaching zero
Adam is the Hamish of Bored.
@@thexalon hahaha, Hamish just can't have anything. Not even acknowledging that he appeared in the series
4:40 is the best acting from Adam 🤙
I'm french and I am impressed how Rowan completely understood french culture. But he forget the baguette, and his shirt needed stripes also. Otherwise everything is perfect I felt so close to him !
And the strand of onions around the neck, bien sûr! 😛

He could have thrown in a mon Dieu or sacre bleu!! That would have convinced them he was really French 😆
Rowan? You mean the black shirt manager? Oh no, he's Rowa. He's french.
Ngl, sometimes "he's French" is an explanation for many things here. Also being a colony many of us are part British, which means also we have significantly French ancestry as well, so technically he's not wrong.
Half pay for Ellie is still like 3x the amount of Alan and adams full pay haha
Well Adam doesnt get paid, like said at end. Alan got many pay cuts as well and this is first time that Elie got "pay cut"
@@slawekstoj1 Ellie got a pay cut in mediation episode as well for agreeing with Alan
@@ukjamesfairlie i just needed to check Elie didnt agreed with Alan, she agreed with Adam and Rowan/Ben on fact that Alan maked stole company ink and even wasted company paper.
Makeing pay cut for Elie is best decison that Rowan could do, since for that month PlayTech will save a lot of money.
@@slawekstoj1 no at the beginning of the video, Rowan gives Alan a pay cut for bringing in mediator (Ben) and Ellie agrees says that’s exactly why they’re doing this and rowan gives her one as well
