Who remembers the early Bored with the work place therapist? Rowan and Alan needing mediation because Rowan insisted the Phantom Menace was the best Star Wars. Such a Rowan.
I doubt there are many people who watch VLDL now who watched them when they used to be funny. At some point you just get bored of misses for years in a row.
@@Z_MIB i got it now. i was posting while watching and hadnt gotten to that point yet. just came off a 2 year c-ptsd . and sadly even post -cptsd many things are triggers. i actually got nearly that comment from someone long ago during a time when i was very near self harm in an unrelated event. the bad thing about triggers is that they are often daisy chained to boxes in our heads that go way back and havent been put to rest yet. my bad. guess i need to learn how to fish. now if i could just find a buddy like baelin.
I choose for everyone else to stop treating me like crap; that would make me happy. Problem is everyone else isn't respecting my choice for them to be nicer to me.
@@savage5757just Britt? I wanna see all of them. I WANT BAELIN'S ROUTE AS A SERIES with 45 min episodes and also lots of Alan being conscious he's an NPC ❤💙
That skit gave me whiplash. The tone of the voice caused me to tear up sympathically (it's bad with me... I'm also a sympathic hurler, if anyone wants company in any of these things, come to me) and the fart made me spit my drink. Especially the long one. It was glorious.
That is help. I agree though. You can spend years twisting your thoughts, while an hour of discussion aloud and vulnerable to another human being can bring so much self awareness.
Does help exist outside of fiction? Everyones used up making the waste humans at all times. Help would be the end of the waste humans and the making of more until that occurs.
Yea but a therapist never gives actual input - they avoid any input they can and just agree with your feelings - that's it...I've been to some good therapists but even looking back they didn't do anything that created any mindset change or shift - it was just pillow talk - maybe for women that's good but guys need more than a pillow to cry into - we need a real coach or mentor who has vested interest and isn't afraid to tell you hard facts and honest truths to tackle your problems...therapy they like to schedule you so you just keep coming back...if they sort out your problem then they lose a paycheck...a coach just wants to get you off the bench and on the field...
@@apirlfoolsMaybe he secretly is ALL THE ABOVE. Ever since the garlic farmer figured out how to bend the rules of his reality, he pretty much became Neo, after all...
The therapist only saying hard plus the title of worst therapist instantly made me think of Bob Newhart as Dr. Switzer on madtv where he only told his patient “stop it”.
@@TheGeneralSoundwave thank you very much! I grew up watching a lot of those sketch shows like madtv, in living color, and house of buggin (I liked them better than snl). Much of it is seared into my memory like the theme of the x-men cartoons
What makes these sketches even funnier is that Rowan shows very short and rare moments of emotional depth and understanding, but overall he is a disaster of a therapist.
Couple's therapists are professional and have the overall goal of fixing relationships. Rowan: (actively trying to break up a relationship during a therapy session) Alan: *wtf*
The fart scene following the previous scene built up perfect continuity that made it far more hilarious. Lol. He got her to make a "private" session only to fart in her face. A variant of the "bad boy/nonchalant" approach I see.
@@bunk95 true. Every other emotion is the same. Everytime you felt love, happiness, satisfaction, rage or anything it was just in your mind. Dumbness aside everyone of these is controlled and affected by chemicals, so it's kinda very real
Yeah I know it's just a sketch but 7:49 Britt is an absolutely gorgeous girl. Hope she will get that love and attention from her partner because she really deserves it!
Wow lol, the Brit and Allen skit was where I was with my first wife. She would go out, get drunk, wake up in another city with no recollection of how she got there, and all I wanted was basic communication. But she called me controlling. I just wanted her to be safe. Then one day she went out, didn’t tell me where she was, then got in an accident and broke several bones as she was thrown from the vehicle. She was in shock and wandering through a neighborhood for an hour before someone found her and called 911. I couldn't find her and didn’t find out till the next morning.
That's how life is bud, just a series of happy moments, with the default being struggle, suffering and sadness, add anger too sometimes. We live on an earth that constantly wants us dead, and we've adapted to fight for our life, even in the way that our society allows us too, like fighting to keep a job, fighting against coworkers or friends during an argument, fighting against everything in a way. Then sometimes you find those moments or those people who will allow you to stop fighting for a second, but that's rare, not the default. No therapist will tell you otherwise. You've gotta fight to be happy.
3:40 I am attacked. Ever since my father always said "velcro is the future" I realized how dumb it was wasting my time tying my shoes every time they come undone and tripping over my laces. Plus I can just slip them on and they don't slip back off like laces do when you leave them tired loose enough to slip on.
Good Lord, stellar acting from Rowan and Britt in keeping a straight face during "Fart Therapy". The look on Britt's face and the way she looked around like WTF just happened at the first one was fantastic. And where do you film these; is that someone's living room? What a GORGEOUS room. So jealous!
Ngl man, it's not that hard if you're a regular human who can show basic emotions. The real acting here is the way he makes us hate his character while being such a nice person in real life.
What you call a bad therapist is what I call a practical therapist. Rowan, as a therapist, gives great advice to anyone struggling. Follow it, and it will give you results.
I can pretty much vouch that most therapists do exactly this...like an HR discussion - zero call to action - zero real support - a welp I dunno I don't think there's any saving things - some people need to just get a coach and stop wasting your time with a therapist who won't even tell you necessary steps you can take...accurate as usual lol
Hard Therapist: Rowan only takes the hard cases... Fart Therapy: Rowan: "What sorts of things does he buy you?" IMO, he should buy her a gas mask & a supply stock of filters for it when she goes to therapy.
Rowan started so strong and then turned worse and worse. What a setup. The ending with DIRTY DAVE YEAH YEAH YEAH remains a classic. Best way to end a sess xd
Thanks to this amazing therapist's advice, I'm no longer depressed! I wake up, feel depressed, just snap out of it and... voilà! I am now happy! 12/10 would recommend!
"You need to be smart and have a large vocabulary to be a therapist."
Rowan: "Hard"
Hard or Nice day for fishing ain't it? Hu Ha!

Rowan as a therapist is the kind of person who would say.
"At the end of the day, it's night"

Sometimes people don’t need to get help with what’s happening, they really just need someone to talk to.

When I started watching this I immediately expected Rowan to just say “skill issue” to half the things he said
A good friend is an unpaid theripist.
(Good) friends are hard to come by, unfortunately. Costs me a fortune to keep from spiraling out of control.
What makes these sketches even funnier is that Rowan shows very short and rare moments of emotional depth and understanding, but overall he is a disaster of a therapist.

Couple's therapists are professional and have the overall goal of fixing relationships.
Rowan: (actively trying to break up a relationship during a therapy session)
Alan: *wtf*
Some of these are actually brilliant Therapy techniques in between the lines
Rowan is the sort of person to go around saying "I was born at a very young age" like he thinks it's funny
It is funny.
Wait, someone thinks it isn't?
@@Melancholy_Chill let's be real, imagine how annoyed Alan would be if he kept saying that. It would be that shit's dingo 2.0
I find that type of humor funny where someone states something so obvious that normally no one would say it but make it sound like it's informative
yeah me too lol. like "BREAKING NEWS: CHINA MAY BE USING THE SEA TO HIDE THEIR SUBMARINES"
20:23 it's almost like Rowan say SKIP! every time Adam opens mouth 😂
Camera work is fantastic. Good production guys!
Has Baeiln become a therapist? I mean, good for him.
It was nice seeing Hamish too. I feel like we don’t have enough of his presence 😊
"Hard" makes so much sense out of all of these

That's where the punchline was hidden in plain view:
What is the point of this?
Hard
@@sneezyfido hard
Welp. "I am allowed to be unhappy". It helps, a lot.
Y'all always make me laugh. That's a very valuable service. And much props to Britt. I don't see enough comments praising her acting. Thank you all
The home-wrecking therapist is WILD lmao.
Rowan is the king of gaslighting
The acting in these skits is bloody insane. Beautifully done guys and gals! Great way to tackle the real stuff.
Rowan:"I'm allowed to be unhappy"
Me:"It feels like I'm contractually obligated to be unhappy"
Weirdly enough, actually saying that out loud helped a lot
Omg "fart therapy" had me chuckling away! It definitely fits rowan to play the therapist too.
So funny lol
The way Alan felt at the beginning too real definitely felt that way the other day. Definitely need to do more of the worst therapist ever sessions
I have a strong feeling that the first therapist spends a lot of time fishing.
RIGHT?? Same thought here 😂
Hard
Please do an NPC goes to the therapist skit or series. Love you guys!
It's so weird seeing all of them in "regular" clothes.
The sick thing is… I’ve seen worse therapists. 😂
Bro was his own therapist
I've had therapists like the first one where they don't contribute anything they just validate.
Honestly the least of the problems a bad therapist can have
My former therapist used to have me fix her PC, LAN, printer, tablet, etc.
Then billed me for it.
Did it make you feel useful, or just used? If the former it was actually therapeutic...
Hard
What therapy is a scam you have to expect they are going to keep scamming.
@@RK-ck6plTherapy isn't a scam. It's health care. But just like doctors, some of them suck.

Rowan's face of laughter is madness incarnate, and it's ripe for merchandising.
13:15
Truly a beast worth of the wrath of merchandise
"Have you tried just having an apple?" I've met this therapist. Actually, I've met several of these therapists.
"Have you tried just like... not doing this behavior that brought you to therapy?"
😂 love Rowan in these sketches. I keep on thinking he will be of some help and but always has me in stitches by the end of it.
Twist: he had a stroke first session and he was never the same after
Have you tried when you wake up in the morning? Just not being depressed. That's like trying to ask somebody when they wake up to be Energized
Depression is fictional.
@@bunk95 true. Every other emotion is the same. Everytime you felt love, happiness, satisfaction, rage or anything it was just in your mind.

Was anyone else expecting the therapist to be wearing the same shoes the client was describing at 4:25?
I'm happy to see that Baelins brother found his calling as a therapist.
Im depressed.... soultion: don't be
Tbh, I didn't expect this video to start with a personal attack.
Yeah I know it's just a sketch but 7:49 Britt is an absolutely gorgeous girl. Hope she will get that love and attention from her partner because she really deserves it!
When rowan said " hard out" that really cured my depression. Thank you rowan
The first part of the video hit way too hard.
I think someone was cutting onions nearby

I really loved the mental health skits. Some were bummers but in a way that made you reflect.
First one reminds me of the strong silent hero sketch you guys did haha 😂 👌
I honestly thought rowan kept asking about the shoes because the punch line was going to be that he’s been wondering where he left them 😂
Great acting from Adam.
Sometimes just listening and doing nothing or even just saying "Hard" or agreeing can do heaps for someone struggling.
Depressed is my default mood. Sometimes, I wish I could experience happiness for longer then a moment.
Have you tried therapy? Actual therapy?

Why are the fart jokes still the most funny)))))
For a child.
The earliest known joke, from ancient Mesopotamia about 3,500 years ago, is a fart joke. 😅
Reminds me how the trend of everyone needing mental health treatment has made our mental health worse.

Personally idk why it's so much harder to talk to a therapist compared to like a normal friend
So tell me how you really feel

Fart jokes done well. Love it.
Omg I love the gossip therapy lol just randomly takes a bottle of wine out 😂
Rowan saying, "Hard," to everything definitely has, "Nice day for fishin, ain't it?" energy.
The anxiety patient versus the anxious therapist was creative
Its amazing how these shorts add up to complilations for days.
If the Hard therapist were played by Theo, it would be a segment of ‘Witchcraft therapist’, and we’d all feel seen by him.
Mornin! Nice day for therapy aint it?
It's like random dude from 4Chan became therapist.
That Shit was Hard Dingo!
I might have said this before but every time I watch the shoes one I expect it to pan out to the Therapist wearing the exact shoes.
saw that rowan is the therapist and i knew i was gonna watch the whole thing 😆
rowan has a special ability to pay the "worst" characters
Hard Therapist: Rowan only takes the hard cases...
Fart Therapy: Rowan: "What sorts of things does he buy you?" IMO, he should buy her a gas mask & a supply stock of filters for it when she goes to therapy.
I feel like the first one just saying "hard" was better than some real therapists.
Dude. The brit and alan scene is so triggering, I laughed till I cried😂
Simply calling Rowan "doc" is hilarious to me xD
Rowan started so strong and then turned worse and worse. What a setup. The ending with DIRTY DAVE YEAH YEAH YEAH remains a classic. Best way to end a sess xd
6:03 Dude Rowan Literally acts like a Indian Politician Few months before election
Bruh the way he hunts for negative words
Ok, this is one of the best videos I have watched on this Channel, Good Lord, I cried from laughing
This is actually the smartest therapist
One of the rare VLDL videos that I just didn't like, wasn't feeling it, _hardly_
It’s like talking to my son’s teenage friends.
I wonder how often Rowan forgot his lines.
It's Hard...to remember
I met Alan once lmao on my lunch break.. love that these guys are from New Zealand. Hard.
The idea that its ok to not be ok took me so long to accept and understand
