In Techtown's aisles, causing a stir, there’s a kid whose antics will leave you a blur...

[@symphonyofaria]

Honestly the fact that he'd go so far for "just a friend" is kind of amazing. He catered to her weird wants and needs and even went to the hospital for her. In his weird little warped perspective, he's a great friend.

[@Grizzlox]

Those must be some great benefits

[@Assaultwatertaffy]

I mean, he DOES treat Ellie better than Allen and Adam. I think he just has a soft spot for any woman he's got any semblance of power over.

I was one of the few trusted drivers of a coworker, of her water broke at work. She was an awesome coworker. Not my kids. Just Incase she went into labor, I was chosen to drive. I felt honored. Alas, she went into labor on an off day. So I didn't get to miss work.

At the same time, what is canon exactly in the bored series?

And now, he created the company (or bought a franchise of another company?) with the money his father of techtown gave him.

I can already see the skit with Rowan's family coming into the store. Alan sees this lovely woman and her kids asking for Rowan and starts asking her questions, to work out how someone so nice with such great kids could have anything to do with Rowan. Then Rowan comes out and he is like a completely different person, really nice and loving to his family as well as turning into a great manager that gives Alan and the rest loads of compliments and stuff. Only to turn right back into old Rowan when the fam leave and when the others try to ask what all that was about, his diff personality, he tries to gaslight them into believing there was no difference 😂😂

I love how Alan figures it out immediately and is having fun with it, right up until Rowan mentions the kids, then things get serious.

[@nevermind5657]

100% because until that point it was just him and her, no worries just them being friends. once kids enterered then adam realized that rowan probably wasn't dad for them at all, dumbing all the responsiblities to her, and in possibility that she is sick, the kids wouldn't have dad to take care of them while mom is resting.

[@TheAtlarchy]

We need a skit with Rowan's wife, who actually keeps calling him her "friend" because they both actually thought it was friendship and Rowan is the one to tell her they accidentally got married...

[@ShiningWolf88]

I think she realized how clueless he was and called everything friendship because he is so oblivious xD kinda like a Sheldon.

[@goozerk5724]

Her pet name for him the whole time was "Bud/Buddy"

[@forrestmillard2627]

I was thinking this. I mean only a person as weird as Rowan would marry that guy. His wife must be quite the character herself.

Easily in the top 10 of best Bored episodes. The mind-shattering realization dawning on Rowan's face was perfection!

You need to upload an episode of that Friendship party. Absolute gold seeing Rowan thanking everyone coming to celebrate such a benign event.

Brings a whole new new meaning to the term "friend zone".

Nope. Sex utterly and completely destroys it, forever.

[@mapron1]

@@murkotronNot really. I had sex with a friend, and then we decided to stop this and keep platonic relations. 15 years later we are still friends. And her husband also knows everything about the past too.

[@murkotron]

@@mapron1 situation you described has absolutely nothing to do with friend zone

[@Fruad_jo]

@@murkotronit does tho. They had sex realized the relationship wouldn’t work and that they were better as friends so he got friend zoned but they were actually friends like you guys do know that people can stay friends after being in a relationship right? Friends with benefits Is literally just friends who have sex and aren’t in a relationship so no sex doesn’t destroy it forever

[@keselekbakiak]

So that's how you survive a marriage! Just pretend it never happen.

The baby crying in the background with Rowan looking blankly into oblivion with perplexity and the “I’ve been through some shit” look. 👌❤️(baby crying brought back some flashbacks, parents know the look, of joy and horror.)

I just love it when Rowan and Alan talk and interact without berating each other 😂

Not something you see every day 😂😂😂

I think, this is their last "normal" conversation between Rowan and Alan

[@thelostart2658]

first time he wore the ring is in "Finding Footsteps on Vikendi" and was missing last two episodes. so its been 56 months without him noticing

[@brianv1988]

I think Rowan should get a friendship prenuptial agreement😂

[@TheKillerqueen40]

He's gonna get hit with some serious palimony if the friendship ends now 😂😂

[@williampearce5757]

Bit late for a "pre"-nuptial agreement, but yeah he really should've 🤣

I did want this to have a follow up episode between Adam and Alan where rowan is in the background just stunned. When Adam asks Alan what's wtong Alam just goes "Oh him? He just found out he's married."

You always manage to take Bored where I least expect it. Not once did I think that Rowan had been unknowingly married this entire time. But that is so him to completely miss the point through the whole thing. Classic.

[@MzPJSinclair]

I've been married since 2016 and I gotta say - I feel you, Rowan. This crept up on me too!

[@MrJanoo159753]

Rowan being accidentily married and a father is just so good lol

[@Tobygas]

This one threw me back in a good way. Some classic Rowan v Alan shenanigans are always a treat and at the beginning of this series it was just those two too

[@versuzzero5335]

I hope this is some kind of turning point for Rowan to become a decent manager or something. Maybe similar to the manager when they first started the Bored series.

[@dumki]

I think it's my favorite in Bored; there are a lot of fine episodes, but this one... I haven't enough words to describe my feelings

[@phenomsrandoms6783]

I love how Alan is finally learning to speak Rowan 😂😂😂

[@Boosterboy1994]

Honestly, I love the way Alan enjoys this while questioning poor clueless Rowan xD

[@Blouemisteu]

I kept expecting them to point out Alan has a ring too...

[@socpancake]

just love how the story went from “the crew went wear wedding rings because they taking them off for takes just never came up”, to “listen, children, to the elaborate backstory of Rowan’s amazing rapport with his roommate” 👌

[@M_Alexander]

Makes you wonder how many Really Good Friends he's made over the years

[@wjzav1971]

I like to imagine that off work, Rowan is the nicest and most chill person and everyone thinks that he is a great friend, but for him, its just a bunch of strangers and passing associates.

​@@wjzav1971but his social media presence states otherwise, while Adam keeps hitting the million subscriber count daily lol.

[@costascostas1760]

You forgot the quote marks "really good friends" that's how he used to put emphasis on things 😂 maybe that's how he got married, she said 'this is our "friendship" vows' and 'sleeping together "saves money' and 'these are "not your kids"'

[@brianfink9974]

I was thinking the same thing about "air quotes". Maybe his "friend" was the one who convinced him of how they "work". Although I guess now Britt can be off, "not ducking" Brad! @@costascostas1760

Every so often I return to this short, I love Rowan's face when he finds out about his situation and Alan constantly saying "congratulations" while Rowan is in shock 🤣 without a doubt this video is one of my favorites on the channel, very clever and good acted.

I was waiting for "and the kids call me dad for some weird reason but like... it's all cool. If their dad isn't involve I guess I should be". XD I loved this so much. Rowan's reaction was AMAZING! XD

[@DanielTAKD]

Yeah, same.

[@astrobotnautics5291]

I've gotta say, this is the third time I'm back to watch this episode. I absolutely love the OG Bored vibes. It's as funny as any skit but feels like it fits right in with the first 30 or so episodes of Bored. That second stores was such a perfect location and i love seeing such a large store front back in the series again. The Kick-starter was well worth it. Can't wait to see what more you can do with it.

[@astrobotnautics5291]

Just loving this vibe again

[@Daemonik]

Rowan didn't even get a second packing crate to take his "friend" to Hawaii with him? Grounds for unfriending, right there!

[@DanielCoffey67]

I think Rowan thought he was being clever saving money when his friend invited him on her holiday to Hawaii. She flew, he posted himself. We can't see the Hawaii pics "because she was, like, all over me in the hotel. And the beach! I mean it was like we were a newly married couple or something!"
