Bit disappointed there wasn't a proper christmas mukbang this year, one of my favourite videos ever is the one that goes completely off the rails as Harry, Ethan & Josh get more & more drunk, screaming "here's hogg, DEEENEEEEYYYY"

@@samkipling5881 Thats planning issues. These are core video's that happen every year and you literally have a year to plan ahead for them. Now they brought out a video alot of people are looking forward to in a honestly horrible way. Without the whole group it already feels bad, and the gifts they picked are actually horrible. The fact that its not the whole gang is 50% to blame for this video being very poorly received. The person who decided on the gifts is also half to blame for making this the most boring secret santa video they ever made. If you dont care thats all good. Just know a majority of people are quite dissapointed they ruined one of the best video's of the year for alot of people.
Please never do this video without the full group again. Its fine to have guests sometimes, but these core video's that happen every year truly just need the whole gang.
I miss the old secret santa vids where they do it themselves and have to buy for someone particularly, you see them wrap it etc. Just a little more thought put into it
Yeah they haven’t really tried much for Christmas content this year, apart from locking most of it behind a paywall and uploading the crap content on here
7:51 Ethan wanting to tell everyone his best bidet experience HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. They way he politely scoots forward, waits his turn. I just cant HAHAHAHA
This vid is probably one of the biggest indicators that the guys are slowly starting to phase themselves out and diversify the business, which means we probably won’t get a lot more of them like old. Just wanted to say it’s been a pleasure and I’ll never forget the laughs you’ve given me over the years, got me through some tough times. Take your well deserved leave fellas, you’ve earned it ❤️❤️
The Sidemen channel still posts bangers sometimes but yeah, you ain't wrong. Maybe they should cut back on how often they post, and quality videos when they do post. Like MoreSidemen can also be once or twice a week, then we'd potentially get longer gaming sessions, better game shows, and more effort in general. Would be a better watch
@@cookieguy9885they stopped caring about their content ever since they brought out side plus. Only care about the money now unfortunately. I've been watching their videos for more than a decade and even I won't pay a subscription to watch them
I think the big issue is that they film multiple videos in a single day, so if one of them misses out on a single day, they are not gonna be in multiple videos. Plus since they are doing multiple videos, the energy and enthusiasm is just gone after like 1 or 2 videos.

@svenvanveenschool yeah you're not wrong. i wish they went quality over quantity on this channel, i'd be much happier as a viewer to watch quality content than multiple weekly videos that their hearts aren't in anymore
I don't think they realize that white elephant literally doesnt work if you dont set rules 😭 you either have to establish youre doing joke gifts or go with a proper monetary limit. without gifts that everybody could want or everybody thinks is jokes, its just opening presents under the tree

Wow what a thrilling White Elephant where the multi millionaires staff bought all the presents and none of them could care less about the presents because they're beneath them. Great content
you can see Danny face when Simon seat on the toilet to try it , his face really want to cry 😂 i don't know what happened if someone steal his toilet presents
they’ve got studios. production. a team. but traded it all for passion and wholesome videos. these used to be my favorite videos to come out of sidemen. and now they just sit and open gifts with guests who have no relation to the core of this channel at all. how did their videos pre all the lights and cameras feel better than the ones they pump out now? not even a mukbang. every video a guest. jesus christ. merry christmas.

I'm sorry but we don't rlly want Danny in them do we? We let the first one slide but THE "SIDEMEN" secret Santa, No JJ, No Vik, Man this is sad, it's not the "SIDEMEN" Without all of them
Y'all really need to give directives on the gifts for this type of thing. Whoever arranged them tried to make the gifts funny, when in practice it'd likely be better if the interactions were funny. Only one of the gifts should have been a gag, the rest should have been worth arguing over.
Stop hating on danny the guy did no wrong, people just say he's annoying and if I ask why it's either "he's changed" or "he was annoying in that vid were he got drunk", it's just stupid
I do miss the old sidemen secret santas where they did do their gifts personally
im sure they will do something like that for next week sidemen sunday but this is just a moresidemen video
@@arsenalslideshowsNext sidemen Sunday is just gonna be a compilation of this year
@@arsenalslideshows They kind of just did that with the "sidemen spend 100000 on each other" video a couple months ago so I don't imagine they will.

this has to be the worst set of presents in a sidemen video 🤣

that mclaren lego set is lowk the best present I've seen on any christmas video this year
No JJ or Vik for a christmas secret santa is a crime
Glad you took top comment and reworded it. Nice.
@@NaturallyGreasyA lot of people share this thought so I wouldn't call it ' copying '.
To have DannyAarons replace either JJ or Vik is criminal---

You say that but start crying when they are uninterested in the items
This is becoming more of a guest channel rather than a sidemen channel
noone asked for arthur or danny also they dont add anything at all

Jj and vik do a lot of other things that’s why they not always present

Substituting Danny for Vik or JJ could be the worst move of 2024 for the sidemen
The sidemen aren’t the sidemen anymore every video contains guests now they’re just a big collaboration of TH-camrs at this point
