Honestly, expected Ben to randomly show up and be the twist that no one saw coming to be the new manager.

Legend has it that Ben is still waiting at the old store to open while Byron is locked inside still working in the backroom

Alan was positive and supportive, and I was actually rooting for him... then I remembered the Lore.

Gotta love Rowan always finding an excuse to be shirtless in every episode 🤣

Adam wasn't actually just simply nervous, he was having flashbacks to wielding the Gold shirt and his time beyond the grave.

This whole time, I'm just imagining Byron, sitting in the empty store, wondering where everyone is while Ben knocks on the door. "You've been closed for a week! This is outrageous!"

I love when she says "technically I think he can", when she sees he is the only acceptable option

I thought they'd do an episode for each management style. Adam getting ignored, Allan being evil, Britt handing out punishments lawful evil style, Ellie being the most laid back, casual manager ever, then Rowan going crazy with his temporarily restored powers.

I love how Alan is constantly cheering Adam up. That kind of work friends are an absolute treasure.

I just forgot how menacing Alan can be whenever he got himself a power beyond his control.

Rowan getting a pay cut at the end definitely brought some hope to a terrifying episode. At least there is still someone to punish him...

I honestly think Adam is the most talented actor of the group. He can go from hero to pathetic without skipping a beat.

The callback to Alan being an absolute monster when he has power was great

The final pay-cut joke on Rowan and the natural smiles of everyone were priceless 😄

The part where Alan became acting manager, for those few seconds, I laughed more than I have ever laughed with any VLDL video!

When she said "Pay Cut" Rhi was super cute

That jump cut to Rowan standing shirtless and ready in a superman pose just sent me. 😂

The "Daddy's home, and he's hungry" line had no right dropping as hard as it did.

Wish we could get one whole episode dedicated to each one being a trial manager

I was really hoping for more honestly. I wish we had seen each one with a few episodes. The storyline for each are endless.

Honestly, the craziest thing they could do next is have a character that is a reasonable human being

Britt’s glare at Adam when he clapped at the very start is underrated

That moment you realize that Rowan is the only one that would be both competent and isn't the most strict. That... is insane.

4:40 Alan and Adam smiling at Rowan making him burst into a genuine smile at 4:42. Makes me smile too :D

I love how Britt immediately started shooting daggers at Adam when Rhi thanked him for clapping.

Adam needs to bring on his leather jacket wearing motorcycle riding persona into the store... he would OWN the place and crew!

You all are like the best second family I have ever had. When I first found all of you was in 2019 right before I started my current job when I got covid and watching all your vids made getting through it so much easier. I've loved everything the group has ever made. I'm so proud of you all for growing so big yet staying so true to yourselves and each other. I love you all cast and crew and I think you are the kind of people that actually bring the light back into this world. So keep up the amazing work and never stop being you! You're all so genuine that I have no fears you will all stay true to yourselves and the world. Stay strong, and be excellent to each other!

Nice of Ellie to try and help Adam save face with her rule to get rid of everyone's pants.

Aww... was hoping each character would get a full episode as manager to showcase different dynamics that they can't normally do

I love how Brit is entirely unhinged in this series 😂

I wanted Alan to be manager and to make Rowan pick up a pen every minute.

The amount of chills I got when Rowan appointed himself are insane

adam - the anxious one alan - the power-hungry demon britt - the strict one ellie - the lazy, laid-back, but money-greedy and possibly insane one that hates animals(?) rowan - well, he’s rowan

Alan canonically can only control his managerial powers against the otherworldly threat of the Karens, but gets consumed by the power when there’s no threat and lashes out against his employees.

Loved this episode. Love it when rowan said, "Listen up, you absolute peasants". Cud just see the rest step back thinking oh fu*k he's back 😂😂😂

I knew Rowan would end up manager again but admittedly I was hoping to see him get bossed around for a while.

I love how Ellie throws the black shirt over her shoulder like a championship belt, definitely fits the tribal leader persona she took on.

The fact that Rowan's red shirt was already off when he knew his turn was coming killed me.

I did not think I would be so hyped for a web series as I am now. Keep up the good work!!! Don't stop killing it!

I love how Rhi makes Roan the Manager while simultaneously making it seem like it wasn't her decision.

Man, I really hope the general manager lady can keep her sanity for a while without becoming evil. XD

As someone who works in childcare I must say Adam’s deliver of “no I made a mess” was spot on

That was an absolutely Epic scene when Rowan gets that shirt on. The music, the fear that The Playtech 3 have. Goosebumps! Great work!

Love how everyone is excited to watch these guys as fast as possible. Great community

Damn it, I was hoping Adam would be secretly briliant and Rowan would be forced to accept someone else's rule for a few episodes

The way Brit looked at Adam when he joined in on her clapping... watch your back! These are worth rewatching.

It'[s great to see Britt bring some of her more terrifying character traits to this series.

Rowan almost kept it together in the end, but the 'pay-cut' on him, broke him and a smile appeared 😂

Promoting one's self to permanent manager while on a trial role was the ultimate move.

"Daddy's home... and he's hungry", give this man an Oscar

Rowan: listen here you ABSOLUTE PEASANT, the rest shiver in fear

I genuinely feel so bad for Adam, because I can partially relate. The terror of all that pressure of trying to deliver properly like that is a bit much, *especially* if you're used to people putting you down. Not to the point of, y'know, having an 'accident', but I'd probably have a minor panic attack too and shrivel up

the fact that rowan is mentally and physically ready to wear the black shirt is so hillarious.

"I'm deadly serious, take off your pants," has no right sounding that menacing.

Come on guys! I didn't want this episode to end! You're such a great team in character development! Watching from Greece!

Man I thought for sure Ben would stumble into the store and accidentally become manager, but the idea of the others failing so hard that Rowan gets it by default is also pretty hilarious.

Adam still has PTSD from his gold shirt times

Yall are absolutely making banger after banger, so glad to see yall growing aswell as getting more and more eyes on you

I really need a Game Of Thrones meme at the end, but with Rowan with the caption "pay cuts are coming"

3:59 Rowan shirtless as soon as it's his turn is brilliant.

i liked how britt still had less rules than amazon managers 💀 this episode was a blast

lmao as soon as Alan said "My turn >:)" I knew what was coming lmaoooooo the white shirt flashbacks intensifies

I'm glad rowan is back as the manager. The role definitely suits him.😂

I love the fact Rowan owned playtech but still adhered to the manager and white and gold shirt without hesitation.

I like how these new "bored series" is like a bit of a show now, with an almost continuous story with every video

I’m so happy this is back! I love this series! Let the pay cuts begin! I’m waiting on my favorite customer to come back

Best show I can watch these days. I can’t wait for the further episodes. Thanks guys! 🍻🎉😎

Beautifully done, loved it! I lost it when Rowen already had his shirt off ready to go

Godot damn you - the fact it's absolutly believable after 300 episode of Rowan being a horrible manager he still ends up being the best for the job is amazing xD

"I can do whatever the **** I want Allan" Beautiful delivery.

well the ending was as expected but however was amazingly done and really well sketched!! Amazing work team

Adam holding the pant leg was EVERYTHING!!! I'm pretty sure I had a stroke laughing so hard.

He's giving Ellie a paycut now, that's character development

As I've just been made redundant in place of someone who who let's just say would barely posess a fraction of the creative talent and technical aptitude held within the tip of my left little finger would be extremely generous. This feels quite raw in a dark satirical way and you know what. I actually needed this. I didn't think I'd get a smile in any time this week but there you go. A smile. (I smiled somewhere part way through the video)

I gotta say, I didn't know I needed an Angel vs Devil manager situation. This is gonna be a beautiful series. :D

The subtlety of Brit's character. The sizing Adam up with the eyes, flexing the shoulders when Adam claps. She's brilliant!

I'm gonna be honest, he's doing pretty good so far. He's decreased spending by quite alot with everyone, including himself, getting paycuts. Such a generous manager.

Yep. Everybody is in their right place. Like coming home after holiday, you’re glad to be there even if there are some things you don’t like.

i like how Britt went from rule 207 back to adding a new rule that is somehow rule 1

To think, Alan could tame the might of the Playtech white shirt to slay the Karen's, but the Techtown black shirt was just too much for him.

The fact that it turns out Rowan is the best manager out of all of them is amazing! I was expecting Alan to paint the shirt white 😂.

Stellar performance from all. Rowan actually nailed it! 😁

This was a great skit! keep it up guys

I honestly didn‘t expect Adam, Alan, Britt and Ellie to fail so badly at being Store Manager…😳

"Listen up you absolute peasants" is my new favourite phrase. I kinda liked the idea that Brit would refuse to try being manager because she liked being the bosses lacky too much.

Okay, this one is so deep that it deserves an essay despite the fact that it's not even five minutes long 🤣 > Everyone except Rowan put the black shirt over their red shirt, and the black shirt always looked either too big on them (as clearly seen when Adam and Britt were wearing it) or simply just did not belong (it probably fit Alan, but that probably was the reason the camera angle insisted not to show how it actually looked on Alan, so we could say that Alan was drowned in its power while Ellie didn't bother to put it on), implying that none of these four were fit for the role. It's like Cinderella. There is only one size, and it will only perfectly fit one person. Love it. > Rhi and Britt were just watching in the background when Alan went psycho. They had no idea how crazy these four were. They had no idea what kind of place Playtech was. Techtown was probably a very normal tech store until these four came in 😂 > Adam was reluctant since the start because he had every reason not to believe in himself, plus the PTSD he got from various... incidents, including but not limited to being brought back to life by Rowan and the White Shirt saga. I think Adam at this point was the employee that was just happy to receive proper wage and enough recognition for his work rather than being in power, especially because he got knocked down by customer(s) a lot and had to rely on either Alan or Rowan for it. 😂 > Alan had too much pent-up anger. He descended so quickly into psychosis because he simply wasn't able to control the power he had. He coveted it so much that it consumed him. The one who desires it the most, tormented by it the most. He was like an explosive volcano, just waiting to snap at one point. And like a volcano, he couldn't use the power endlessly, and he couldn't really control it, he just let it go. He could have been a good manager if he hadn't been deeply scarred by Rowan's constant... antics, and the White Shirt. 😂 > Britt was like a very smart child wanting to be considered an adult when she was trying the black shirt. It was too big for her (literally and figuratively). She was smart indeed, but she was overestimating herself and her rules. She punished the first one that spoke against her while trying so hard to butter up to the higher ups in a very childlike manner (very much like a teacher's pet 😂). She was so rigid in her approach and she would not be a good fit because, surprise, surprise, you need some flexibility and reliability as a manager. Rowan might have illogical rules and policies, and constantly failed to communicate about products and services to his employees, but Britt ramped everything up to a whole new level, and she was just a perfect addition. No comedy series is complete without this kind of high strung character in it. Astoundingly unhinged, perfection. She actually shared some characteristics with Rowan including inability to see flaws in their methods.😂 > Ellie did not put the black shirt on because she just wasn't really interested (obviously). She was still upset at Rhi for cutting down her pay. She was playing along to see how far she could push it. She acted as a placeholder for Rowan, her "decrees" were so ridiculous, but actually still within acceptable level for Rowan 😂. Rowan nodded when Ellie shut Rhi up, and Rowan definitely thought the Thunderdome animal fight idea wasn't so bad (Alan looked at Rowan at this moment, probably out of habit, was a nice touch, showing that Alan unconsciously still relied on Rowan to handle this kind of situations, or Alan just hoped that maybe Rowan would finally have the same perspective with him about something for once, in my mind Alan looked like he was trying to tell Rowan that this was not a good idea and Rowan must think about it carefully as always and Rowan had to stop Ellie from realising her vision as the ruler of the lands). It just showed once again that Ellie was Rowan's favourite. Ellie never had any intention to be a manager because why she had to be a manager if she could be just exploiting the loopholes all over again with Rowan in power? She looked happy until Rowan said pay cut to her 😂 > Rowan got rid of the red shirt before putting the black shirt on. The black shirt perfectly fit him. It was his second skin. He might be a tyrant, but he was a tyrant who knew exactly how to use his power. After four showcases filled with some horror and various iNteResTInG attempts of managing, Rowan using his power to make an astute decision right off the bat just showed Rhi that Rowan was indeed the only option she had. For the better or worse, Rowan was the only one competent enough to be a manager out of this bunch. He was also capable of obeying people who had higher positions than his while others wouldn't even let Rhi say anything or do anything during their trials (except Adam, comically poor Adam). > The visual toward the end where the three former-Playtech-now-Techtown red shirt peasants slowly closed the gap between them and the two Techtown natives was amazing, it feels like it marked the true beginning of Techtown tales. Superb. And that's, folk, why filmmaking is a complex art and why you should support these guys. Thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

Interesting detail (though it can of course be complete coincidence or certain practical reasons): Rowan is the only one who just wears the black shirt. Everyone else had the black shirt over their red shirt. All of them were still in try-out mode, Rowan just immediately presented himself as already having the job. Basically following the old saying "dress for the job you want".

I expected Rowan’s turn to go all well and then get the position honorably. Then as soon as he is announced the store manager, he gives a menacing smile to Adam, Alan, Ellie, and Brit 😂

Brit's expression and body language screaming total deference was incredibly on point. It made the scene for me.

Oh I’m super excited for these new ones 😂😂😂 when Alan goes “F***” I lost it 😂😂😂

i love it!!!! so glad this series exists!

I expected Adams biker guy persona to shine through out of no where 😂! Alan going full white shirt made me happy!! Rowan listened to the rules of the trial that the acting manager is technically the manager so he took full advantage of the loophole 😂

I really felt Adam's anxiety there. Top notch acting as always.

At this point I am convinced that the whole "manager tryout" was Rowen's dad's way of giving legitimacy to his reign over the peasants in the store. All hail to Rowen the permanent eternal blackshirt manager.

The last “pay cut…f**k” was gold 😂

Aw I love Adam so much! He’s so sweet and would make a wonderful manager! Love you guys!

I love how Rowan was already ready had that red polo off ready for the black polo to take back over as acting manager 😂

Rhi seems like the nicest, warmest boss you could hope for!

rowan the perfect embodiment of 'not the hero we deserve, but the one we need' here

Get Adam his motorcycle confidence 😂
