- I always wanted to do this stuff with my friends.
It's so sick.
- They're like big kids, but I kinda like it.
This is what I aspire to be with my friends.
♪ (rock intro) ♪
- (Harry) How's it going guys? Welcome to the Sidemen.
- Sidemen are amazing. They're amazing.
- Oh my God, I love them.
- Don't show me this, please. I hate--
I hate. I used to watch them,
that's why I'm so cringing right now.
- I've definitely seen Sidemen before, obviously because of
KSI, Deji, and you know. They're just popular YouTubers
in the UK.
- I love these videos. I haven't watched them
in a while though.
- Whoa.
- This is a YouTube channel? I have not heard of this.
- Never seen this before, but it looks awesome.
- I used to watch them so much when I was younger.
- So much already going on.
- It's just too much activity for me.
- This is what I always dreamed of as a kid.
This is all I ever wanted as a child.
- What? What is happening?
- Ooh, ooh. Josh.
- I always wanted to do this stuff with my friends.
It's so sick.
- That was actually really fun.
- I've seen this video redone 800 different ways.
- (Josh) Sidemen giant football slip and slide.
- Nice job, nice job.
- I'm not sure what's happening here,
but it seems really fun.
- Whoo.
- (man) Yeah, we need a new goalie.
- That looks fun.
- Okay, so these are just a bunch of boys
who are goofing off.
- It was appealing to me before I think because when
you're younger, your sense of humor is like,
"Oh, that was loud. That's funny."
Once you transition into semi adulthood, you start
to realize, "Oh, maybe that's just not for me anymore."
- I used to pay attention a lot to KSI and the rest
of the Sidemen, but I just haven't done it in a while.
I'ma start watching them again though.
- (KSI) We are at Wireless doing our hide and seek.
- Hide and seek at a huge event?
- Their hide and seek video at Wireless.
This is amazing.
- Their hide and seeks are so fun.
- (KSI) One, two, three.
- So they literally just play games and record it.
That's cool.
- (Vik) Me and Harry are looking for a tree
that Harry can boost me up into.
- (Tobi) If a black dude comes over, there's no one here.
- Is he the guy who fought with Logan Paul?
Oh.
- These dudes are really running around vlogging
their hide and seek in public. That would probably be
so funny if I were twelve.
- (KSI) You can't run from me. - Why are you running
in hide and seek? You got seen.
- Such a fan. Oh my God.
- (KSI) I'm gonna lie down. - (groaning)
- (man) No [bleep] way. - (KSI) No way.
- Oh [bleep].
- How'd he find him?
- They're like big kids, but I kinda like it.
This is what I aspire to be with my friends.
- (Simon) Tobi, you've already won. - (KSI) You've already won.
You don't need to run away. - (Simon) You've won.
- It's pretty fun. I like it.
I like the concept. And KSI, KSI's cool.
I don't know anybody else.
- Something that's so interesting is I would
walk around in Denmark and I would see people
with Sidemen merch. You know how you see
people with Jake Paul merch here or Dolan brother merch?
There, Sidemen is so big.
- I think it's interesting. You don't see a lot
of people doing that nowadays.
You just see a lot more studio based videos,
so it's kinda cool to see people do different things.
- This one's amazing.
- (KSI) Why did the walrus lick the envelope?
- (Simon) I don't know. - (KSI) 'Cause he was looking
for a good seal.
- That's so stupid.
- This is a try not to make each other laugh kinda type thing.
That was not funny.
- (Harry) What type of apple grows on a tree?
- (Ethan) What? - (Harry) All of them.
- That's a good one.
- I would not have laughed at that one.
- These are bad jokes.
- (Vik) What happens to frogs that park illegally?
- (Tobi) I don't know. What happens to frogs
that park illegally? - Towed.
- (Vik) They get towed. - Ay, that was easy.
- (Tobi) What do you get when a cow is caught
in an earthquake. - (Vik) It moves.
Like, moo. - He had the right idea, I guess.
- (Tobi) We got it, we got it. - We get it, Vik.
We get it, Vik.
- (Tobi) You get a milkshake.
- The guy in the back, his laugh is so funny.
It's contagious.
- (Josh) If you overdose on Viagra, do you die hard?
- These are the worst dad jokes ever.
- (Tobi) A man that just attacked me with cheese and milk.
How dare he.
How dare he. - Okay, that was pretty good.
- That one was actually funny.
- I think I watched that video twice or two or three times.
- They seem like a really fun group of guys.
I would honestly like to be friends with them.
- You can tell that there's a lot of chemistry
between the guys.
- It's crazy how these guys at one point were just
a group of friends and not very famous YouTubers
and then grew up to having their own show
and now it's just a full blown production.
- I'm their biggest fan. I used to go play football
with my friends and we would always try to hit the crossbar.
We would always do trick shots and stuff.
That was 100% inspiration from them.
- (FBE) So, those videos all came from the channel Sidemen.
- I just know KSI.
- (FBE) The channel consists of seven members.
Before we talk a little bit more about them,
we wanted to see if you can tell us who is who.
- Okay. Damn, I'm not from the UK.
I don't know how to do this.
- (FBE) So, there's Miniminter, KSI, Wroetoshaw, Behzinga,
Zerkaa, TBJZL, and Vikkstar123. - Those are very 2009
YouTube URLs and I love it.
- I can just see the comments blowing up right now.
"Oh my God, this girl doesn't know any
of my favorite YouTubers."
- (FBE) So first up, who is this? - Since I have no clue,
let's go with TBJZL.
- TBJZL.
- That's Tobi.
- That would be Mr. TBJZL.
- I know that all the girls fangirl over this guy
and I know his name's Tobi, so I'm assuming it's TBJ.
- That is TBJZL. He's one of the guys
I watched for a year. He was one of the better
guys at FIFA.
- (FBE) Who do you think this is?
- That's Miniminter, 'cause it sounds kinda dorky.
- Behzinga. I don't know, he looks
like a Behzinga. That face is like a Behzing.
- That one's Behzinga.
- That's Ethan.
- That is Ethan, AKA Behzinga.
- I will say that one is the Wroetoshaw.
- Wroetoshaw. It's just a very facial hair name.
- That's Josh.
- That would be Zerkaa.
- Zerkaa, yeah.
- That's Zerkaa. Zerkaa, yeah.
- Let's do Behzinga.
- I'm gonna say Miniminter. Man, I know I'm O for three
right now. This is so sad.
- That one looks like the Miniminter, minimizer,
whatever.
- Behzinga. There's no reason for this.
I just place this one.
- Vikkstar123.
- Vikkstar.
- Vikkstar. That's the one that I do know.
- That's gonna be Vik, also known as Vikram,
which is his real name.
- That's Vikkstar. Of course I know Vik.
He's just my favorite Indian YouTuber ever, period.
- Okay, I'm gonna say this is the Shaw guy.
- I'll go with Wroetoshaw. I kinda try to put
the name with the face.
- Harry.
- That would be W2S. Wroetoshaw.
- That's Wroetoshaw. I used to watch him.
I forgot about that. I watched his FIFA videos.
- Zerkaa.
- That is Simon.
- Miniminter.
- That is Miniminter.
- Miniminter, who just did a collab with the other Mini.
- Okay, well since I know it's not KSI,
then that only leaves Wroetoshaw.
- I guess this is Zerkaa because the last guy is KSI.
- All right, then KSI.
- KSI.
- KSI, the boxer.
- That's knowledge, strength, and integrity.
That's what he says KSI stands for.
- And KSI, of course. This is one of my
favorite YouTubers of all time.
- (FBE) Well congratulations, you got seven for seven.
- Whoo. - (FBE) True fan alert right there.
You're clearly a big fan. - Clearly.
- (FBE) All right, so this is TBJZL. - No way, what the heck?
Okay, cool. I got it right, yay.
- Yep, got it right. The heartthrob.
- Yes. All right, all right.
- (FBE) This is Behzinga. - Aw man.
- Dang it. Okay, that's wrong then.
Never mind, I put Zerkaa.
- Oh wow, Behzinga. Yeah, the face matches
pretty well with the name.
- (FBE) This is Zerkaa. - Jesus Christ, okay.
- Got that right.
- Aw, see, so okay. I just got their names flipped up,
so it was close.
- (FBE) This is Vikkstar123. - Hey, what's up?
- Okay. I felt it.
I felt that one in my heart.
- Yo, four for four. Best I've ever done
on any test or quiz.
- (FBE) This is Wroetoshaw. - Oh, interesting.
- Yeah, I got it! The Shaw guy.
Whoo, three.
- Ah! I'm doing good.
- Yeah, I mean I got two more, so as long
as I didn't mess these up.
- (FBE) This is Miniminter. - Wrong.
I got all of them wrong.
- Yep, got that right.
- Miniminter, yes, right.
- (FBE) And this is KSI. - Yes.
Two out of seven. A for effort.
- I was actually a little surprised that I got them all right,
'cause I haven't seen them in a year or two.
- (FBE) So, from what you saw of the Sidemen's videos,
what'd you think overall of their content?
- I think their content is hilarious for a certain age group.
I think a younger, tweeny kind of age is ideal for them.
- It's very entertaining to watch if you literally don't have
anything else to do.
- It's so sick. It's something you wanna
do with your friends.
- (FBE) So individually, everyone in the Sidemen crew
has their own channels that have between three million
and nineteen million subscribers. - Wow, that's a lot.
- (FBE) The group is known for hosting large scale events
such as football/soccer matches against each other
or other YouTubers for charity where they have raised
tens of thousands of dollars every event and thousands
of people come to watch live in person.
What do you think about not just raising money,
but really turning them into events in this large scale way?
- That's very-- that just makes me feel all warm.
- Yeah, those soccer tournaments, that's crazy,
'cause they're the first YouTube group to actually
have giant events like that.
- That's definitely a great move because then you attract
people for multiple reasons. You wanna come watch some soccer,
you wanna come meet some YouTubers,
you wanna come and also donate to a good cause.
You're doing multiple things at once and so that's why
I think it's so attractive to a lot of fans.
- (FBE) There's been some controversy over time
where some members would leave the group,
which lead to huge attention across all their channels
and they have released diss tracks.
- What? Well, I need to do more research.
- Yikes, how can you come back from a diss track?
- Yeah, I think it was KSI who left, huh.
Yeah, and then the diss tracks, but I mean, we knew
it was fake.
- Yeah, it's a publicity stunt definitely.
Or not even a publicity stunt but it's probably just like,
"Let's do it for fun and people are gonna dig it."
And they know that for a fact.
- (FBE) They ultimately reunited and there's thoughts that
the diss track was designed to get more views.
Is the drama side of YouTube something that you enjoy or not?
- Yeah, guilty pleasure.
- I actually enjoyed it a lot. When there was all those
diss tracks, I made it my mission to know the lyrics to them.
- If it's fake, I don't really like it, 'cause it's just like
they want money, so that's why they're doing it.
- Nowadays, it's all about the number of views,
the number of subscribers. You're doing anything
and everything to get those numbers higher.
- I'm not someone who condemns starting YouTube drama.
I think it's done for publicity, but at the same time,
from a business perspective, it's a great thing for them to do,
'cause there are a lot of people who fall for it.
- (FBE) So finally, we want you to make a prediction.
How long do you think the Sidemen YouTube channel
will continue and when and if it does stop,
what will be the reason that they broke up?
- Okay, so it's probably gonna be, I'm gonna say,
five to seven years. In five to seven years.
That's gonna be because they've already made enough money.
They're gonna be just set for life.
- Three more years, tops. I just don't see this
being a long term thing.
- I think they're gonna stay together just because
they've been together for so long
and I just don't see anything tearing them apart,
which is great and I hope they stay together,
because we need more actual groups like this.
- Realistically, just everyone growing up.
Maybe all of them start marrying and the girls are like,
"We don't wanna live in the same house
as all these guys." So everyone starts
getting their separate lives.
- I genuinely don't think that it's gonna split up
just because the dudes seem like they have
their [bleep] together. 'Cause you have to remember
their real personalities are probably not the same
as what you see on camera. They're probably
a lot more professional.
