Fun fact: there is still one Blockbuster Video store left. It’s in Bend, Oregon. If I was anywhere near Oregon I would definitely be a member. I hope they wouldn’t come looking for that copy of Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare I had when my local store closed.
I swear you guys are so good at these skits, I'm not sure if they are supposed to be natural situations or if Rowan is an elaborate prankster who sets these up in advance to mess with the others. Like think, if this was a real store and these things happened all the time you'd definitely start to think something was up. I hope we get a future episode catching rowan in the act of planning one of these.
If most of the things that happen in this video happened in real life at the place I work, I wouldn't work there anymore. I'm surprised nobody has tried just leaving. Like, sure, giving Rowan a notice of you leaving doesn't work because he won't validate it, but, like...just leave, and don't come back. Chances are Rowan would forget to stop paying you and you could just get that free pay check on top of your new job's pay.
The comment section provides. So when I google it, hminu seems to be... a brand..? product..? thing..? Whereas Ben's line could just be him laughing slowly in morse code, ie: HEEEE HEEEE HEEEE HEEEE HEEEE
The end of the video is so wholesome, and as to Ben and Rowan being mates in this video is really neat to see, we need more of you guys and these two and Alan, man you guys are just awesome.
Glad I watch these back every now and then. I only watched the compilations for the first couple hundred and they don't have the outtakes. Well done for going into Alex the Kidd in Miracle World :)
Came to post just this, but I thought someone must have pointed that out before. I was not disappointed when I saw the last comment from just one day ago is exactly that.
Not sure why this popped up in my suggestions, but "fax administor" is one of my job roles. My company sends or receives about 1.5 million fax pages per year. Fax is alive and well in health care.
I legit had a customer try to have an order sent through on our fax at work the other day. I have no clue how to go about it so I had to convince them that sending it through email was the easiest way ahaha
Davis rc racing Does your business have a listed fax number? Our does, but the fax is automatically converted into an email as part of our VoIP system. Most copier/scanner machines also have a built in fax function if you're using a standard phone line system.
In Germany Fax is still in use. It has the same value as a registered mail. If you send a fax, you have a proof that also stands in court. So it's still common between companies. Among private people, however - the fax has long been extinct.
This reminds me of an office job in 2008. There was one bloody customer we still needed to fax their receipts through to and literally the only reason we still had the machine hooked up. They're still pretty popular here to this day among lawyers though.
A certain mortgage company still uses fax machines. They needed some documents from me, which I wanted to scan and email to them, but they insisted that I cannot use that method and must fax it to them. Like wtf??
Well technically an E-Mail is legally binding too. However proving the sending and receiving is harder if not impossible. Also proving the origin of a mail is harder.
@Dylon Jackson just saying something with legal relevance is legally binding. Everything else is just a question of provebility. Well you can fake anything. Faking original documents by using a fake signature isn't that hard either.
@Dylon Jackson Faxes are legally binding and faxing technology is heavily used by the largest banks and healthcare companies around the world. For example Bank of America sends over 5 million faxes each month thus using special faxing software technology called RightFax.
You need to have a electronic signature registered and only then, when you sign with it, an email can become legally binding. But if you don't sign with a special signature, only fax is legally binding.
I worked for a bank service provider in Germany. We had a very potent fax server, because so many banks still only use faxes for plenty of forms. It was really annoying, because the bank's machines had problems all the time.
Sometimes they make playable, movie-like ads. I guess she might be on point :) My father, on the other hand, just printed hard copies of some pdf documents which I had, ready for e-mail, and used a fax machine and paid for their sending ( to government - there is a fee ) to our business partner. What did the partner say you ask? "We didn't have any paper inside our machine." Lol
Once wanted to send something to some agency and asked for their email address. "We don't accept that by mail because it could be manipulated but we accept it by fax." So I sent it by email to some free mail to fax service who sent it for me and added some ads, job done. PS: and yes, they accepted it.
Fun fact: a lot of governmental agencies and businesses in Germany still have fax machines for some reasons - meanwhile, it's only a slow process that you can send signed scans of contracts via e-mail.
I remember when the US started allowing tax returns to be sent via modem. However, the modem protocol they used was an old Bell 900 baud protocol. This was so obsolete at that time, that the only modem that could handle it was an actual Bell 900 baud modem or a very expensive modem with backward compatibility. So, if you didn't already have a modem that would work, you were looking at spending $300-$400 to send your taxes. Some tax preparers had compatible modems, but they could absorb the costs in their fees.
And here we are, 4 years after this sketch, and many public services, schools and doctors in Germany still have and are required to have a fax machine...
I seriously think that either Alan has no clue about what their store has, or rowan literally keeps a lot of secrets about what they have just to make the other employees look like idiots. 😂😂
Too short. Just one letter/number can take 1-6 "beeps" ("dots and dashes"). (Dot-dot-dot, dash-dash-dash, dot-dot-dot === "SOS") At best, one could argue they were using acronyms. Except from what I could hear, they were almost exclusively using "dots.")
You can even run a network using those. Someone actually designed a networking packet system for that kind of stuff. Unfortunately it's rather slow, so no playing fortnight with it, the ping rates are atrocious!
You are all so backwards....I use bottle messenge. Why the hell do you think we have a canalisation systems? Jezz. Just write a messenge, put it in seald bottle and throw that thing in that hole in your house where the water flows and use the "send" lever.
I had a feeling that I recognize that music at the end! The end melody they're singing is from the Sega Master System game: "Alex Kidd" I'm wondering how INSANE it will look if I'll animate a short part based on your skits... oh my! 🙀 Much Love ❤
fax machines are still hervily present everwhere in the world. its just no longer common across all businesses. but specially law and medical basically everywhere still uses those...
I SWEAR that I am Alan in this sketch and the world reacts to me like Rowan and Ben. Like...ALL of the time. It's like I am speaking another language from another fucking planet when I feel like I am making SO MUCH SENSE.
My sister works for the famous international bank, EU. A few years ago, a lady from fricking Texas insisted on doing business with a cheque. My sister was livid because nobody, and I mean NOBODY uses cheques in the country I live anymore, they are literally not in use. The details are blurry for me, but I clearly remember that the bank obliged and they had to go through a bizarre process that included phone coordination with the bank from Texas in order to get it to work. They had to get an old typewriter to even write a cheque for her, something they luckily still had in archives. I wouldn't be surprised if cases like the one I described are the reason why (officially) now all but one bank in the country refuse to have anything to do with cheques.
Well, faxes are still in use, i use them at my work. It's simply for reasons of authentication, they are signed by only people who are authorized too. But we have a software, so when I fax something i send a docx file and it's sent as a fax. And the other way round, when I receive a fax, I have a pdf file and just pick up the paper from the fax machine and place it in an archive.
You know fax isn't really safer than unencrypted email, right? It's just a tiny bit more inconvenient to manipulate, as more and more people get rid of it.
Heh, humorous. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a couple faxes to send. Email isn't secure enough for the transmission of patient information, apparently, fax only. No, really, I watched this before clocking in, time to send the morning faxes, lol.
Ahhh, fax is even less secure than email. I'm a computer security expert... faxes were not made taking into account current decryption capabilities. None, in fact.
@@cancerino666 hey, don't look at me, I'm not our IT department. We're only allowed to transmit patient information over fax. I assumed because fax is basically peer to peer and email goes through other people's servers, but again, I'm not the IT department. They did specifically say that email wasn't secure enough.
@@giin97 I understand, I'm not blamming you. Just letting you know. IT departments at hospitals and whatnot tend to be the worst of the worst. Security is almost non-existent, because they end up with "solutions" like those. Seriously, hacking a hospital is likely the easiest thing to do.
@@cancerino666 nice! Awesome to hear, lol. Honestly, I have no expectation of privacy outside of my own home, so this doesn't surprise me in the least. If it's outside of my control, I expect it to be readily available to anyone with enough skill and patience. And no worries; it's not my responsibility, so I wasn't accepting any. IT answers to my boss, not me :P
I'm 28, am well aware that I am responding to a 6 month old comment, and.. have a 1 year old fax machine (multifunction office printer). I mean, I haven't sent or received one since I was a kid with the family fax, but it's there. It was always fun when the internet cut out in the middle of Neopets, followed by the phone ringing.. So I'd quickly go answer it and be met with random tonal screeching, where I'd then have to hang up and run to the fax machine to press receive. Rather than just one day not using faxes anymore, someone smart should have integrated them into emails. A company could then register their 'fax' number as normal, but anything sent to it would arrive in their email inbox like a scanned document. And then any email sent to a fax address would go through and print out as normal. We'd still be where we are today with them being phased out, but it would have been so much easier for the older people that relied on it.
I tried to translate it, but those beeps doesn't translate to anything coherent unfortunately 😔 Would've been a fun bit if they had been trashtalking Alan.
I swear this is all a hoax, Allen is going to find out one day that these 2 talk behind the store or something, do you really expect me to believe Rowan knows Morse code
Morse code isnt that hard, it's as any digital language. Problem is, you got to decode it, so you have to note up the value, and then later figure out what it means. Like math. Same with a digital signal, or do you know what 10110110001100111 means without using math?
My dad used to do morse code when he was in the military. He translates it in the movies for us. As to the code in this video, well, you know... And yes, he was one of the many people listening to Sputnik when it went up!
"What are we?!"
"Faxers!"

A signed fax is legally binding whereas an email is not. Hence why they are still in use in many companies.
Never say "hence why".
Hence already means "that's why" or "therefore".
Just "hence, they are still in use."

@@woswasdenni1914 Here it would be weird if an office has no fax mashine. I hate it
I work in Japan, and we still use fax machine a lot
Fax is still been used but not as widesread as E-Mail
2:28 that's the face of a psycho fax sender
Plot twist: They were cursing like sailors at the end and had to be beeped out in post
"Along with the rest of the world, we dropped faxes when emails came into existence."
Doctor's offices - "wait what?"
"B-E-N"
Thanks you, sir.......
You can bet that when weird stuff is going on with customer, Rowan is ready to let his employees down 😂
So much vulgarity, i have never watched a video with so many censor beeps!!
One of the best video ever guys !!!!!
You brilliant!!
Alex kids theme ‘morse cose’ just a cherry on the cake!
You deserve an Oscar 😊
I don't like how Rowan walked up to the counter lol doesn't he usually just spawn into existence...
I recognise Alex the Kidd in Miracle World 8 bit goodness anywhere...
Love the “beeping like idiots” in the caption 😂
1:53
I'll put () when they say non existing symbol.
Rowan: 5M()
Ben: MSEEEEEE
_At same time_
Rowan: HMIT5T
Ben: 3()
_Then_
Ben: HEEEEISE
Rowan: H
I SWEAR that I am Alan in this sketch and the world reacts to me like Rowan and Ben. Like...ALL of the time. It's like I am speaking another language from another fucking planet when I feel like I am making SO MUCH SENSE.
My sister works for the famous international bank, EU. A few years ago, a lady from fricking Texas insisted on doing business with a cheque. My sister was livid because nobody, and I mean NOBODY uses cheques in the country I live anymore, they are literally not in use. The details are blurry for me, but I clearly remember that the bank obliged and they had to go through a bizarre process that included phone coordination with the bank from Texas in order to get it to work. They had to get an old typewriter to even write a cheque for her, something they luckily still had in archives.
I wouldn't be surprised if cases like the one I described are the reason why (officially) now all but one bank in the country refuse to have anything to do with cheques.

I came to say this exactly.
Exactly!
2:29 was kinda creepy lol
"Beep...beep...ba...beep..." annnnd demonetized.
*demonetized
2:22 Alan comes to the realisation of if you can't beat em join em 😂😂😂
I like it everytime when Rowan makes his entry with the good old, "So, what seems to be the problem here? "
I hear this all the time. "Who has a fax machine anymore?" Me. At the company I work for. We have a fax machine.
I have a fax machine right? and what do you you use them for?
faxing things
Thats right! so lettssss gooo faxxx ittt!
This comment is so underrated lol
@@Sundrop-Dancer tnx lol

*The Nostalgia on Alan's Face is exerting*
I love how subtitles translated those beeping into "beeping like idiots"
You guys have to much fun . Need more videos . Ive seen them ALL
the cool joke would to be actually saying stuff in morse code. Although I could be wrong I didnt try decipher it lol
Nvimu
5Eeeee
that's how it went
@@Sigkete lol thx
@@Sigkete are you sure? Cause the first thing I heard Ben said was "Moeeee"
The customers service is just something else *pepp peeep pepepeppp*
Well, faxes are still in use, i use them at my work. It's simply for reasons of authentication, they are signed by only people who are authorized too. But we have a software, so when I fax something i send a docx file and it's sent as a fax. And the other way round, when I receive a fax, I have a pdf file and just pick up the paper from the fax machine and place it in an archive.
You know fax isn't really safer than unencrypted email, right? It's just a tiny bit more inconvenient to manipulate, as more and more people get rid of it.
Alan at the end be like:
"I am surrounded by idiots"
Heh, humorous. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a couple faxes to send. Email isn't secure enough for the transmission of patient information, apparently, fax only.
No, really, I watched this before clocking in, time to send the morning faxes, lol.
Ahhh, fax is even less secure than email. I'm a computer security expert... faxes were not made taking into account current decryption capabilities. None, in fact.
@@cancerino666 hey, don't look at me, I'm not our IT department. We're only allowed to transmit patient information over fax. I assumed because fax is basically peer to peer and email goes through other people's servers, but again, I'm not the IT department. They did specifically say that email wasn't secure enough.
@@cancerino666 though to be fair, I forgot a very important "apparently" from my original comment. Edited :P
@@giin97 I understand, I'm not blamming you. Just letting you know. IT departments at hospitals and whatnot tend to be the worst of the worst. Security is almost non-existent, because they end up with "solutions" like those.
Seriously, hacking a hospital is likely the easiest thing to do.
@@cancerino666 nice! Awesome to hear, lol. Honestly, I have no expectation of privacy outside of my own home, so this doesn't surprise me in the least. If it's outside of my control, I expect it to be readily available to anyone with enough skill and patience.
And no worries; it's not my responsibility, so I wasn't accepting any. IT answers to my boss, not me :P
This is pain in the ass if u get a customer whom their ages is like 40-50 years old...😂😂😂...and still believe that fax machine is still existed...
Thanks a lot dude. I'm 40 and know perfectly well how to send Emails on my blackberry
The Truth my message doesnt mean to offense any1 especially elder...😅...and btw ur welcome...
I'm 28, am well aware that I am responding to a 6 month old comment, and.. have a 1 year old fax machine (multifunction office printer).
I mean, I haven't sent or received one since I was a kid with the family fax, but it's there.
It was always fun when the internet cut out in the middle of Neopets, followed by the phone ringing.. So I'd quickly go answer it and be met with random tonal screeching, where I'd then have to hang up and run to the fax machine to press receive.
Rather than just one day not using faxes anymore, someone smart should have integrated them into emails. A company could then register their 'fax' number as normal, but anything sent to it would arrive in their email inbox like a scanned document. And then any email sent to a fax address would go through and print out as normal.
We'd still be where we are today with them being phased out, but it would have been so much easier for the older people that relied on it.
Those subtitles around 2.04 :D
The subtitle "beepping like idiots" made this 10 times better and yes it was spelled beepping
I'm from Israel and everyone here uses fax machines. I'm not joking. So I'm really looking forward to you coming on tour!
I knew it rowan will be coming and do some weird stuff confusing him 😂
I desperately want to know if those beeps actually meant anything LOL
I tried to translate it, but those beeps doesn't translate to anything coherent unfortunately 😔 Would've been a fun bit if they had been trashtalking Alan.
@@TheSanityX Thanks for looking that up :D
Did you actually write that sentence in morse code?
Should I translate that conversation?
Please do.
@RagingThunder I'm trying to translate it but it's just stuff like "tseeeeehhh" and "ssssssoooooooeeeee" and other characters that don't even exist
I live how subtitles straight up say "beeping like idiots"
Watching rowan and Ben trying to out-asshole each other is one of life's current joys
I swear this is all a hoax, Allen is going to find out one day that these 2 talk behind the store or something, do you really expect me to believe Rowan knows Morse code
It is quite possible! Rowan is just that psycho
Morse code isnt that hard, it's as any digital language. Problem is, you got to decode it, so you have to note up the value, and then later figure out what it means. Like math. Same with a digital signal, or do you know what 10110110001100111 means without using math?
@@sjarken3979 I know it's not hard but i don't believe for a second that Rowan would know that
My dad used to do morse code when he was in the military. He translates it in the movies for us.
As to the code in this video, well, you know...
And yes, he was one of the many people listening to Sputnik when it went up!
