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.
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
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…
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)
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
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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 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!
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 😂
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.
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. ♥
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).
"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.
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.
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! 🎉❤😂🎉❤😂🎉❤
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.
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!
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!
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!
