I've been rewatching Bored since the start, and Rowan was actually pretty normal until that meta episode where he realised he was a character, after that the insanity appeared, so I love the fan theory that it was that that drove him insane
@@nuruzzaman4669 it's less about a manager losing a "precious employee" and more like a bully and a sociopath not wanting to lose control over somebody. If Alan leaves, he can't control him any longer. Now Granted, if Rowan genuinely cares about Alan as a friend (like way deep down) then he's even more messed up in the head than I thought if he thinks he can treat his "friend" that way.
This was a strong entry. Love Rowan's acting in this. I know he's not doing anything, but he's not doing anything so well! Sounds silly, but it was compelling.
I kind of want you guys to now release like 4-5 regular Bored sketches that don’t involve Rowan but he’s still standing at the door waiting in the background while other shenanigans occur with the other characters all ignoring him 😂
I love Rowans expression in this, a combination of him being on the verge of tearing up because he misses Alan, and a smug face because he cannot wait to scold Alan for him quitting his job
“He doesn’t have the stamina to go on forever.” 1000 years later, cut to him standing in the middle of the wasteland, the dust has buried him up to his ankles. Lichen and moss grow on his hair and shoulders. He stares stoically into the far distance, tapping his wrist condescendingly as if impatient with the horizon.
rowan is a cold heartless robot who wasn't quite up to the task of dominating humanity, so the robot overlords delegated him to dominating a few employees of a tech store instead...
Rowan didn’t accept Adam’s death without permission but at some point stopped looking for Byron, I don’t think he’s even registered Alan’s resignation at this stage.
I was looking to see if anyone else mentioned the end logo thing! It really is masterful in it's own way how for a brief second it almost played but then silence

Loved this recent series/saga of emotional eps. Absolutely top-tier set of videos from the acting, the writing, the interlocking story with references to past eps, the music, the sound effects, the cinematography, the camera angles, and the fact you chose to go there. You levelled up your story-writing and video work here. Been wanting something like this for years. I actually wish you did another ep before the fight just to ramp into Alan being at his last straw. I know we've had Rowan do heaps to him over the years, but there was continuity in this arc to warrant it.
@@jbcatz5 thanks for this comment - very rare if you through comments here. That's what creators were going for, hopefully not for people to suddenly feel sorry for the bully and encouraging vicious cycle.
And nobody noticed that Adam when leaving puts on his jacket and after a few moments you can hear the sound of the motorbike? Continuity is on point...
Jeezus that's subtle... It really does sound like the electric starter of a bike, but on very careful (and loud) listen, I do think it's actually the sound of the doors. Sure does sound similar though, good ears!
This is so sad. 😢 Why did it have to be so sad? WHERE ARE MY DAMN LAUGHS VLDL? YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW AND SUFFER THIS MAN'S INSANE MANAGEMENT STYLE, ALAN!!
What if Rowan decided to occupy his mind by playing Skycraft. He loads up in Honeywood, he does some quests half heartedly and after a short while he runs into Greg the Garlic farmer. Rowan see's Greg and his mind puts similarities together and he thinks Greg is Alan. He starts roasting Greg as Alan, calls him a low socio-economic peasant and says he's getting a massive paycut. He then tries to drag Greg back to Techtown.
That scene as Greg the Fisherman where 2 players trolled him until they accidently touched him and he went berserk on them had that magical stare as well.
Damn, y'all really are fantastic with these serious episodes and skits. The look of hurt in Rowan's eyes behind that stoic expression on his face breaks my fucking heart 😭

Maybe because he knows how power-hungry Alan is after his white shirt episode and is afraid of him? I don´t know.)
@@goodweightYou really are taking these humor sketches very seriously, aren't you ? Rowan being deeply sad, lonely and very attached to Alan always was a thing, as much as him being the worst jerk possible and having some weird mystical manager power
@@almarade9824 I mean after series about mental health - yes, I do. I see creators care about that stuff. And it's not just Benny Hill, cheap laughs on this channel.
I see a couple of different things happening here: 1) Comes back as a customer. (Maybe pulls a "customer is always right" scenario.) 2) Rohan opens up mail and it has an add for a rival store. Gathers the crew together for a spy mission only to find out that Alan opened a store across the street. 3) Alan comes in after getting an extremely high paying job. 4) Alan comes in with his red shirt on, Rowan tries bossing him around only to find out his name tag now reads "Owner".
The thing is at this point, even though this a running gag, it doesn't feel like one anymore. Rowan is potrayed as a garbage human being with zero redeemable qualities. In comedy, this doesn't work in the long run. Alan got so many pay cuts that he was basically working for free. I think a satisfying conclusion to this would be some real consequences for Rowans behaviour all this time. Returning to the same "Rowan is a dick and everybody is somehow cool with it" stick would be a bummer.
Adam "There may be... one... way to snap Rowan out of this..." everyone looking around in amazement. Adam pulls a pen from his pocket and holds it up. The others wide eyed while shaking their heads to not do it. Adam nods his head with a smile, dropping the pen. The pen hits the ground and bounces a few times in slow motion. Everyone's shocked gaze turns toward Rowan, and in utter disbelief, is unphased and continues staring out the front doors. Adam with a single tear dropping down his face, "He really is gone..." fades to black.
Perfect skit! The callback with Adam’s leather jacket, the cheeky subtitles, the music and the lack thereof. And of course Rowan‘s performance, where he conveys everything while doing nothing. ❤
i even had a boss tell me 'don't burn your bridges' as i went to work at a direct competitor and contributed actively in putting them under as i threatened. 'manager' is often the biggest oxymoron there is
@@catfive23rd hmm, nice one! For some reason I never considered such an option... But also I had some good people left there and wouldn't really wanted to harm them alongside... Plus I was more than sure that with his 'managing skills' he will be more than enough to ruin it himself sooner or later XD
Alan can just come visit everyone without his red shirt and Rowan wouldn’t even know. 😂
True 😂
I feel alan should come back to return his tech town shirt then leave.
Stealth mode
Maybe he comes back with a black shirt and runs the new Playtech
I know right considering the fact he needs a red shirt in order to identify his employees
This was one of the most productive days of Rowan's career as a manager.
I can't thumbs these up anymore after the hand written cards episode. That is a real job with real work.
Because if he takes some slightest action, it causes to company a lot of money 😂
I was about to comment this. When he is doing nothing he isnt actively hurting the buisness
The sadest part of this, is that I have only 1 Like to give.
3 days actually, Adam said it´s the 3rd day in a row....at least they all are finally free to actually do their jobs 😀
Alan needs to come back as a customer just to mess with Rowan head

Rowan is going to be so disappointed when Santa doesn’t come this Christmas.
It's alluded that Rowen murdered people out of rage and spit for not getting anything while screaming paycut at his employees .

Rowan (Bored) deserves this, this is what happens when you treat your employees like dirt; you realize you needed them way more than they needed you
If it takes forever
I will wait for you
for a thousand summers
I will wait for you...
At least rowan comes early to work
I think he lives there, or in a car in front of the store
pretty sure he never left
fr
at least he didn't come naked
You guys really hit it in the feels, poor Rowan. I love you guys.
If Rowan could bring Adam back to life, he could wait Alan to come back to work.
Perfect skit! The callback with Adam’s leather jacket, the cheeky subtitles, the music and the lack thereof. And of course Rowan‘s performance, where he conveys everything while doing nothing. ❤
Alan would come back as a customer with a big self-printed discount coupon!
Rowan can hide it all he wants but this is the truth…
He still wants to watch the Phantom Menace, with his best friend Alan.
Why tf did this comment make me a little emotional
adamH.1 your mom made me emotional
Who doesn't? It's a great movie.
It's been 3 years. Legend says Rowan is still waiting for Alan. 🧙♂️
Plot twist. Alan was the favorite all along.
I've never gone back to a job I've left behind.
i even had a boss tell me 'don't burn your bridges' as i went to work at a direct competitor and contributed actively in putting them under as i threatened. 'manager' is often the biggest oxymoron there is
@@catfive23rd hmm, nice one! For some reason I never considered such an option...
But also I had some good people left there and wouldn't really wanted to harm them alongside... Plus I was more than sure that with his 'managing skills' he will be more than enough to ruin it himself sooner or later XD
I really like how Rowan's mood broke a meta wall and continued into the outro. Very fitting.
at 0:58 the caption says *going on forever kinda music*. Great touch
Alan should REALLY join the TechTown's opponents/competition.
Yeah like ByteBarn or whatever it was called
