I love how Rowan doesn't even have to be in the sketch for everyone to know its him who is the chef.
Hahahaha, so true!
Exactly my thoughts! Haha. That voice... :|
He finally got to use the gun from his Doomsday kit!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 frl
My brain told me it was Rowan immediately.
I love how we INSTANTLY recognise Rowan’s voice even though it’s muffled and barely audible 😅
Yea hahahahahah, i was laughing as f on that XD
had raise volume, but yeah
What is the name of the actor playing the waiter
@@dimitardaskalov3746It's Alan
@@dimitardaskalov3746 The first waiter was Alan, the one that came out after was Adam.
The fact that they ignored the plea for help is spot on. Nobody cares about restaurant workers.
Yeah, they acted as if they were worried, but they just kept pointing the mistakes in the orders... lol
I wouldn't say nobody, today I bought McDonald's but I didn't have enough money for the mcflurry so I got it removed but when they called out my number I didn't point out that there was a mcflurry with my order so I just took it because number 1 free mcflurry and number 2 I don't want them to get in trouble for the mistake
@@levicarpenter5509 You've clearly never worked either restaurants or fast food...
@@SnowblindOtter I never acted like I did I just said not everyone doesn't care
@@levicarpenter5509 Work a couple of weeks as both a server in a sit-down, and a cashier at a fast food, and you'll see what mean.
Honestly, as someone who worked as a cook in a restaurant, I had a completely different experience. When food was returned, we were happy, because it meant we could eat it instead.
More work for the chef and some chefs have too much pride to accept food returned
@@ahmedfalahy9337 you watch too much TV, real life ain't like it.
Chef normally don't care/ take care of him later
The only time when they get piss is when the restaurant is busy af and you are ruining the whole process and distracting his focus
can-relate worked as a kitchen hand for like 4 years, everytime something got returned they technically had to dumb it but they just gave it to us and said "make it disappear" lol
I want to cook for my future job but I’m only 14
I was hoping that rowan himself would bring the last one and then proceed to put "we're hiring" poster by the entrance. This would be so perfect
And then Hamish would walk in, ready to take the job 🤣
No. It wouldn't.
Ahh man that would have been
gold
@@jaroslavoswald7566 explain since you seem to be able to read Loganz mind and know exactly what his idea of perfect would be... Or is it a matter of not understanding English and thinking he refers to everyone's idea of perfect and not his own? Either way 🎱 Out look not so good...
No, he's too busy with all the manager's tasks (like doing casual shit and lying face down on the floor).
Waiter: **writes "help" on the plate with ketchup**
Customer: "Ooh. I asked for no ketchup." 😬
Who said it was ketchup?🤕
It's blood and he did ask for it 🙄
Lol was thinking he'd say something similar.
He did ask without tomato actually...
really should have been obvious with the 'no tomatoe'
Brit's concern for Alan's well-being was touching, but obviously Alan was so dedicated to his customers that he would risk serious injury, nay death, to get their orders right. What a trooper he was! (RIP Alan the waiter)
3:15 even the caption is killing it 🤣
😂 Correct German translation would be "Tapferes Ausatmen im Angesicht des sicheren Todes"
Word choice
Holy crap!
“I can’t leave until you tell me”
The tension in that delivery could be cut by a knife, Bravo!
Don't tempt the chef
Right? O.o
Fun fact. Some waiters will not put the customised order on the chip. The kitchen makes it the exact way it says on the chip. Trust. It is the waiters fault. It's why they won't take the blame for it and they ALLWAYS blame the kitchen for their mistakes. That's what happens when the kitchen is out of sight and noone knows better
I'm the 1000th like! 😁
@@Galaxy-MediaX Nice! 😎
Love how everyone just assumes the mean chef is Rowan 😂
It’s totally Rowan 😜
You can tell by the voice
there's no way it's bayron or hamish
Could tell by the "CORIANDER?!" bit, personally.
@@VivaLaDirtLeague i didnt know Rowan the black Shirt Manager was a Chef.
Rowan has a certain charm that can be felt even off screen... but Alan just killed it with his acting there... literally. Also, at 2:47, Ben did such a good impression it actually looked like he aged 10 years in an instant, that regret.
What do you mean? Didn't you notice that none of the other customers even reacted to the sound of a gunshot? Let's face it, if they were all deaf then we wouldn't see them talking to each other at their tables in the background.
Or are they all frequent customers that have just gotten used to it? Jeez, that would be more cold inside than a Baked Alaska.
3:48 Ben's microexpressions : from relief to shock and fear, is just golden. You nailed it !
I just picked up on that... Thats a sharp eye you have
RIP Alan, sacrificing himself for quality assurance.
The restaurant's review must be outstanding though...
Quality control 🤣
I've heard some complaints that the ketchup tastes a bit like blood, tho. Should probably switch brands.
Outstanding ? They got the order wrong several times on multiple orders
the real meaning for "loyalty to the company"
@@djcustoms6637 😂👏👏 mmmhhhhyyyeeesss I rather enjoyed that
Edit 👆my last comment before realizing how dry my humor really is 😐
**brave exhale in the face of certain death**
The captions you guys do are always so amazing!
I scrolled down just to see if someone else saw this lol
The animated captions on their Facebook uploads are particularly great!
@@mattmiller2426 same
Never watch a sketch without caps exactly for this reason
@@mattmiller2426 I did that too! 😂
3:36 - * gun shot *
Ladies behind: smiling
Just another day in Rowans Restaurant
What’s also spot on is how the other customers didn’t react to the shouting and the gunshot; customers (and their group) are usually oblivious to the problems of other customers and/or the restaurant staff.
This sketch has a lot of great touches throughout. Great work!
The "help us" wasn't part of the skit. It's legitimately the rest of the cast and the editors calling out for help from Rowans abuse. So meta!
But please - help us. We need saving!
@@VivaLaDirtLeague That was 100% Adam answering!
@@Moredhel83 cry.wav
Shhhh, dont type that so loud ... *he* will hear.
That's so Metal 🤘
Having worked in several restaurant kitchens before, I can confirm this is exactly how it works. I've witnessed or taken part in numerous gang-related killings of asshole waiters who had the audacity to try and tell us we made something wrong.
Good on you - standing up for your hard work!
@@VivaLaDirtLeague I'm going to label Ben as an asshole in this one too. Why couldn't he figure out everything wrong the first time around and make a single correction? Instead he makes one correction at a time sending Alan back again and again. He was probably fishing for a free meal.
Chris, thank you for speaking out about about this. It's amazing what waiters try to get away with.
That being said, not all waiters are like this. We know for sure, because many have survived.
Sadly, 90% give the survivors a bad name.
For legal purposes this is a joke?
@@HariSeldon913 Actually it's unwise to be mean to your waiter or waitress since they can sabotage your food ranging from spitting onto your food or something much worse. So if Ben was being mean then he's not very smart.
Also if the customer orders a hamburger without tomato and curly fries and the waiter brings the customer a chicken burger with tomato and straight fries then it's definitely the fault of the waiter for bringing the incorrect meal.
I haven’t said it in awhile, but I love whoever writes the CC scripts for your videos! It’s an absolute hoot!! (Also, you know, helpful because I need CC, but the little notes. *chef’s kiss*)
Alan writes them
Their subtitles in facebook are awesome much better than YT
You should head over to their DND channel the captions are hysterical
Oh my God you're right, they are hilarious. I'm going to start watching all their vids with the CC on.
That's why I make sure to turn them on for every VLDL video. 😆
imagine if at 3:55 after seeing the “HELP US” written in ketchup, he said “oh i didn’t order it with ketchup”
I was expecting the same thing LOL
This is the exact reason I left my job as a waiter. Those chefs have a hefty left hook
Not as hefty as Rowans right hook.
Ouch... Really?
Technically he did make a huge number of mistakes AND then didn't re-check the order TWICE, once after getting the tomato wrong, once after getting the meat wrong, I say he deserved it. The chef did nothing wrong.
@@ShadowGhostHD No hahaha. I did nearly come to blows with my manager though. The massive prick 😂
@@LuMnOsITi tru
I love how the other people are like generated npc's and dont even care whats going in the kitchen
They've been there before and are just used to it
They are used to it
A lot of people do behave like NPCs without any free will a lot of the time in public. I think this is especially true in a bigger city like NYC or LA. There were a couple of stories not too long ago about a woman being assaulted in public, and nobody even bothering to intervene or even act like anything was amiss. And another story about two people fist fighting in a subway train, also with nobody even so much as batting an eye. Part of it seems to truly be a bystander effect. Some of it might also be self-preservation. But another part of it seems like these people are just too traumatized to do anything but pretend like everything is normal.
@@ShadeSlayer1911 "Bruh i been tryna tell n***as, we live in a video game world half of this people aint even real people"
It happens all the time at this restaurant- they’re used to it
Love how the rest of the customers and waiters just totally ignored the "yelling" in the background including the gun shot
"No, I didn't hit Adam, he let himself get hit. It was his chose to be beaten." -Marco Pierre Rowan
I have got to admit this is probably one of my favorite videos you've done. The cringe and the pain in Alan's face is just so well done. Good job Viva!
Poor little lamb !
Man, the kitchen staff is really underrated in this sketch.
Did you see how quickly they were able to get the meals out?
They even had time to yell at the incompetence of the wait staff so the customer didn't have to do it!
Right? They're really fast and effective.
And can we talk about how quickly he got bandaged up too? Underappreciated!
I love the little details they're putting in those sketches, like when Britt shakes her head just barely noticable at 2:51. Or what appears to me to be a barely audible "shhhit" at 1:42, although that could also be Alan turning around.
I’m I the only one who thinks a really good lore could be made out of this?
Nope, but sadly, we're the only ones! 😔
I was thinking the same thing too
RIP to Alan and all the abused waiters and waitresses of this world
It use to be going postal now it's going Mickey D's
Abused?
Well, he did screw up like 4 things on their simple order.
Man with how desperate Alan is to hear what's wrong I'm starting to think he's a bit of a masochist.
we always knew he's the depressed one, always the most hated by rowan in every sketch 😂
"a bit" 😅😂
He did get the orders wrong in several ways, perhaps on purpose?
he "was" a bit of a masochist I guess.. now.. I'm not sure he is anything :(
I think he gets off easy being beaten. Knowingly walking away from an order that is not *perfect* however...
At this point I'm half-convinced that the customers were changing their orders on purpose xD
If it wasn't for the plate turn I would think that adam is keeping his hand behind his back cause it got chopped off cause of messing up a order.
This this is brilliant 😆😆 I was wondering why Adam's hand was kept out of frame and makes so much sense
3:16 Acting Lvl 1000... and the subtitles 👍😂
*brave exhales in the face of certain death*
YOOO! NO WAY!! IVE BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY LIKE THE GREATEST SKIT CHANNEL- AOAOJSL
@Viva La Dirt League 🙂 I've got heart from VLDL 🥰 Big ups to Rowan, Alan, Adam, Byron, Hamish, David, Britt, Ben, Ellie, Robert 🙌 Your production is the work of Art.
"I can't leave until you tell me." -> holy shit I got goosebumps.
The fear in Alan's eye's, hahaha 🤣😂 but he still man's up every time. Hip hip hooray for Alan. Muffled Rowan is too f****** funny.. hilarious.
"You sure?".. you took me there Alan.
"Brave exhale in the face of certain death" is how I'll describe my behavior in any anxiety-inducing situation from now on.
(Side note: If you're watching without closed captions, you're missing out!)
Ha! I liked that as well.
@@BigMoserGaming I love that sometimes the captions are even funnier than the dialog.
Yeah, try the Fancy menu one with captions tho...
CC ... Okiedokie, thanks for the heads up, I'm just gunna re-watch this with the CC on 😊
Good catch.
Oh, Rowan is the chef, now it makes sense why he's so hostile 🤪
Honestly, I think I'd rather take the pay cut...
As an once upon a time, server bartender, cook etc. I hated it all. Cooking in the heat for 10 hours definitely made you loose you cool.
While serving made you hate people.
And bartending made you hate you're coworkers.
Equal footing amongst the crew. We hated everything hahaha. I miss it
He was just going for the genocide route
Legit love how this kept leveling up each time. Became a genuine psychological horror film in the end lol
I absolutely love all of you @VLDL. Bless your hearts
Every time I think the joke’s already reached its funniest moment, the video goes even farther into lunacy. You guys and gals are geniuses!
That was honestly an amazing sketch. Congratulations to the entire team, the quality here is staggering.
I agree. Even the music was cool.
I'm surprised at the quality of the background performers, too. I wished that they would have reacted, but still.
04:01 Ahaha perfect eye movements
Ben better give Alan a tip big enough to pay for his funeral.
His real name isn't Greg, it's Alan.
@@EnFr You're right, my mistake. I mixed up their personas.
On a serious note I went to a local restaurant once and there were loads of problems with our food, we had to keep sending it back. We could hear mumbled arguing and shouting in the kitchen and each time the same waitress kept coming out she looked more and more stressed. Needless to say the chef came out after we complained again, we explained what was wrong with our food and he ended up having a full blown argument with the waitress in front of us. We just walked out at that point as we felt mega uncomfortable.
So, yea, I can actually relate to this sketch.
Imagine if the waiter had dropped the spoon on the way to the table…..
Don't think my heart could handle that....
oh god... i cant even imagine the grisly scene.
He'd have to go into the teaspoon dropping cupboard 😂
@@whisperinmydreams80 he'd be *made* into a teaspoon dropping cupboard.
I like the fact that everyone in the background don't care that one of the restaurants waiters just got shot in the head.
love the skit. everybody did great but Alan did an exceptional job.
Idk why but the phrase "I'd rather you didn't..." just makes me giggle. It happened in the Puppies Epic NPC Man episode too and the delivery is always fantastic.
Love that everyone else just chilling eating their meals
They are hired fake customers.
They are so used to it, lol.
They love the service.
You know, dumping a Human body is not a easy task. Soooo as a chief, and some regular customer. HMMMMMMMM
On that last one, Alan should have let Ben keep the fries, and just put in an order of curly fries, then maybe comp the upcharge for the inconvenience. He wouldn't have had to take the plate back, and incur Rowan's wrath on having to remake all of it. Win win!
The tension was so so good! I was so focused on what could happens next, great video!
whoever came up with the "help us" part deserves a gold star. Made me laugh
Excuse me! I ordered without ketchup.
@@martijnboots7349
The betrayal is unreal with that statement.
as a guy who worked in this industry, I can tell you that I never once bothered arguing with the Line cook's even if it wasn't my fault. Messing with a guy that takes cocaine and cigarettes as daily consumption intake was not on my to do list everyday.
Be nice with the Waiters please.
yeah i had a friend some years ago that worked as a chef, and he told me that most chefs has this daily consumption, atleast those he had worked with.
explains allot around hells kitchen :D
Way back when, as a 16 year old high school kid, I worked in a restaurant after school. My job was started as a dish washer and then rose to an appetizer preparer. One of my key functions, since I was in and out of the walk cooler, was to ensure the keg of Heineken was tapped and chilled mugs were on hand. The beer was not for the customers but rather for the head line chef on duty that night. My job along with setting up the shrimp and other appetizers was to keep him in cold beer as he cooked thru out the shift. He normally was fairly looped by the end of the night, but each and every night his wife would pick him up and take him home. He made really good money from what I understood as his cooking was great. I was eventually fired for eating more of the shrimp than was going out to the diners.
Way back when I was a server, our cook's daily consumption consisted of cigs, whiskey and "bars" (Xanax). By end of night, he was literally feeling no pain to the point he cut himself and didn't realize it right away.
Here here! over ten years in that field as well and can attest to that.
Ad s former line Cook can confirm, although it was whisky not coke, and you can blame the bartender for bringing us unfished and experimental drinks
The "Help Us" was the icing on the cake really. Written in blood one might say. 😂
Beautiful atmosphere and lighting
A few hours later: Ben Van Lier has reviewed "excellent service, the waiters were so helpful and even left us the sweetest message with my food. 10/10 would recommend; the chefs are loveable people"
At 3:16 - 3:27 i felt like alan was ready to fight the chef and stand up for himself lol.
Maybe he did? But he lost
@@VivaLaDirtLeague omg haha, too true! That made me laugh. Love you guys, honestly is really special to me that you guys replied to my comment ❤️.
This was amazing. And props to Alan in this one he killed it.
You guys are GENIUSES.
Thank you for sharing! ❤
*Brave exhale in the face of certain death 😂*
The captions are priceless.
I keep forgetting to turn these on for their videos. 🙄
"Now that is what i call service" clearly knowing what the sauce says
Fine skit, one of those I can re-watch again and again! Alan is a wonderful actor (other guys are too, of course, but they mostly are also professionally trained, and Alan just has a natural talent), love watching his acting with such a rich palette of nuances. "Help us" part was brilliant! And Ben is just great - when he asks for something, it's hard to resist. :)
Just great, as usual! Never disappointed by the quality content, thank you very much.
Such dedication!
I also loved how oblivious the other customers were, even when the gunshot sounded 😂
They must be regulars, and so are used to it 😂
They are used to it
This skit was executed well, had me laughing the entire time.
So was Alan... :P
Please continue this
"that's what I can service"
Good, he finally got it and helped the waiter.
if u ever worked as waiter, scenes like this actually happen quite often, sometimes the customer ordered different things than what they wanted, sometimes the chef forget about the notes when it gets busy, and sometimes the waiter does the mistake.
and tbh its quite a mess everytime it happens, cuz not all customers / chefs / owners have good tolerance
kinda dumb to get agressive though. Mistakes in communication happen to everyone. especially in stressfull situations its not helpfull at all to start yelling at someone
@@soundphile988 Yes but its also a waste of food, something all chefs hate. Some more than others.
Usually not to the point of physical abuse or murder though...
Still beats working as an emergency physician in one of the worse places of the Cape Flats. The customers there sometimes shoot you. Years ago when the crime rate was lower a colleague of mine had a gun pulled on him because the 'customer' or 'patient' wanted additional sick leave for a rubbish complaint. So be happy with your comfy well paid waiter jobs, first world problem-folks.
@@peterc.1419 Comfy well paid waiter jobs? Bruh
I am so glad for Rowen to grow up as manager. He remembered that he cant beat them in Playtech so in his restaurant he made them sign contract that he can do ANYTHING to his employees.
I love how all the other customers are so chilll even after the gunshot sound!!
3:15 - "Brave exhale in the face of certain death" - those subtitles made my day 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
1:43
I love his acting skills
As much as Alan feared certain death from the chef, he seemed to fear the manager even more.
E
I love how you can still recognize some words that correlate to the actual problems even though the chef is mumbling on the back! Very nice detail! 😂
With the amount of mistakes, and how specific they were, this was absolutely 100%. The waiters fault, and he deserves all this punishment, except maybe as physical as it was.
I was expecting Ben to grab a fry and run it through the "HELP US" message and say, "Everything's great!" LOL
oh boy, I laughed so hard, worked 10 years as a waiter, a bit oversized but absolutly accurate with the angry chefs in the kitchen lmao
As a waiter, I have had pans, big salad players, and a knife thrown at me by the Kitchen staff. I sympathize.
Lol I work in the back the anger is real that being said I am more angry about the groups people coming in 15min before close
I can relate too. I worked in the kitchen a few years and my boss was one of them. He even had a big cow bell to boss the service aground.
@@rootbear9742 worst a women groups where every single one has a different made up allergy. And they order a salad with four forks.
@@michaelreed649 Throwing such things at anyone in work, is a sackable offence. I hope those who treated you in such a manner were dealt with accordingly. In fact I'd have got the police involved if someone threw a knife.
Top of the notch acting. Absolutely brilliant.
I don't know what's funnier: the whole skit with this incredible acting performance by everyone or the subtitles : *brave exhale in the face of certain death* XD
I love how the people in the background just don't care XD
I need a sequel to this
4:14 this is one of the best things you guys do.
the outro is always unique and sometimes hilarious like this one!
That was the smoothest transition to the youtube/patreon plugs and was very well written and acted. Nice work :) [The skit was also super legit]
I've watched this many times but I just noticed the "brave exhale in the face of certain death" bit. Classic.
Oh my.. this was just super creepy, with the background music, the facial expressions on Ben and Britt, Adams obvious terror....
I think what really sold it for me, is the fact that *NO-ONE* else was reacting to the sounds coming out of that kitchen o.O
Maybe Ben and Britt are the only ones hearing it? It’s actually a ghost waiter!
@@VivaLaDirtLeague someone the chef murderized years ago, who can't move on until the chef gets his just dessert! 😱
"Excuse me, when is said "no tomatoes" I meant no ketchup either..."
"Oh well, don't worry, as this is not ketchup..."
Oh dear… 😬😂
I love the subtitles "brave exhale of certain death" lmao
3:12 great caption "brave exhale in the face of certain death"
Where do you find such brave customers? If my order is wrong I'm afraid the staff will do something unpleasant to it if I say anything.
Having been in the industry it really depends on how you approach it. If you have some complicated order where you sub out certain things and have to have it prepared a certain way and then send it back for not having the smallest of thing, yeah probably gonna have your food jacked with. If you ordered something and it's just wrong, if you are pleasant about it then most waiters will not mess with your food for sending it back.
@@donaldderrickii5405 I can receive the complete wrong order thank the waiter/waitress and eat a meal I didn't want and don't like instead of bothering them about the error. And I have.

@@andrewgolubiewski3463 And then tip them for it😅
Lesson 1; people are more scummy than you think.

These restaurant skits are my absolute favorite. Rowan not even in the scene except for voice killed me every time he started up! VLDL is my go to!
That " are you sure?" Was actually a cry for help.
I'm a chef and this is 101% accurate
You murder people?

"the brave exhale in the face of certain death" I loved the subtitles 🤣
This was probably one of my favorite skits.
The shift from Alan’s perfectly acted moment of heroic sacrifice to Adam just stealing the show with that eye movement was legendary
As a waiter for a few years... this is a accurate representation of the abuse wait staff takes day after day from all sides. That time of my life was hell.
glad you got out of it though, i worked as a kitchen hand and saw what was happening myself, though never saw the chef or other staff be nasty or blameful the customers alone can make it a living hell.
@@Alliegator93 100%... on the line side you put up with mostly ungrateful waitstaff, understaffing and hot conditions with little breaks and poor pay. From the front of the house is putting up with rude, entitled customers all day. I've worked all over in the restaurant industry for over 10 years. I'll NEVER go back. When I go out to eat now I always hook it up with a good tip.
Yes me too. Waitressing is hard work, but the work itself isn’t the problem, it’s the levels of abuse that chefs have come to think they are entitled to dole out.
Even tho THEY are the ones screwing up the meals.
Also Maybe it’s just me but I’ve actually rarely had bad customers. The psychological meltdowns staff have (and they always happen, hence why so many places are understaffed) are always because of chefs or managers who think their position allows them to be ABUSIVE
It’s usually the customers doing the blaming.
You guys are amazing! I found your videos by accident 3 days ago and I can't stop watching! Absolutely amazing material and delivery!😍🤩
At the end, Ben was just trying to save the waiter's life by saying "now that is what I call service"
