nicostella 1st Of all how tf is there no replies to this lmao and also why is there josh’s log to the right of her name, is it cause she’s a sub or some shit?
THIS was OG shit. THIS, was when 7 of you were relatable, dorky, fun people just playing games for fun. THIS, was the reason I started following you guys. THIS, is what the sidemen is all about :)
Lol pep talk btw. He basically said YT success especially gaming is RNG and that he lucked up on success by finding an adder in a game quickly (which was complete RNG) 5 years ago and the culture that YT at that time was ripe for people playing one of the biggest games at that time with friends.
These days all of your vids are made with a goal to achieve in each game, whether its playing a minigame or completing X races...but sometimes its a lot of fun to just see y'all enjoy yourselves and fool around
The beauty of them videos is that nothing had to happen. You guys were the entertainment and were bloody good at being entertaining. Videos now are way too complex and "fake". People trying to show of as much wealth as possible to get views rather than just being entreating and natural. Damn I miss original youtube content like what you guys used to produce
So many memories, the gta v, prop hunt, dbd videos were class and i used to always watch them after a long day of school and they always kept me laughing, and i was always gassed when u started uploading irl football and stuff like that. All those years of fun, gaming and rl, kept me going and i want to thank you guys, its amazing what you have achieved, i love you guys, for how long i watched your videos i literally felt like i knew you personally and like you were my friends, keep doing your thing and keep killing the scene 💪👊❤
As much as you don’t find this funny or fun anymore, these videos didn’t half make my day back in the day. I loved them so much because I could just forget what was going on in my life for a little bit. Glad you reacted tho, look how far you’ve come!
i think the reason the old gta vids are so good is because as a fan you can hear and feel you lot having the time of your life and laughin but then again i aint no scientist
And yes, YT has changed. Into this toxic wasteland where everyone hates each other, draws big red arrows and constant prying of brain to think of a title for views. Miss the old days, don't you?
Can we also take a moment to remember the days of TH-cam where you didn't need to be NEARLY as filtered as today? You could be as foul-mouthed as you wanted, do whatever you want. Nowadays, you say 1 offkey word, DEMONETIZED!
yes, this is a really good comment. didn't even realize I have watched josh so long, I remember when I was hyped myself for the gta 5 and when this first gta vid dropped I was gassed.
Justin Hughes yes! Do any of you lot remember ayyonline? People like that made TH-cam so fucking fun. Nowadays, ppl are so sensitive n we can’t joke about so many things we could before.
Holy shit I’ve been subbed to this channel for 5 years. Episode 2 was the first video I watched on here. I never thought a few guys fooling around and having a laugh whilst playing a game would be so goddamn funny. Thank you Josh.
I love the fact that you did this video. This is complete nostalgia and I wasn’t even a fan during this time. I’ve only been a fan for about 3 years but I’ve seen all the old gtas and they’ll always be my favorite❤️ Also: can you please do more reacting to old gta videos. Just go further in the videos and you’ll find the other funny old ones
For a sidemen channel video or a more sidemen video do all 7 of you on red dead 2 free roam and no facecams like the old days I think people would enjoy it.. well I know I will
Didn't even realize I have watched josh so long, I remember when I was hyped myself for the gta 5 and when this first gta vid dropped I was gassed. Now when I think about it, it all makes sense, I was watching these vids way before I met my gf and now we have lived together over 2 years, time flies. Really hope Josh and the others would start posting gta vids frequently like in about a year ago.
Those GTA videos were the best shit ever. Ethan laugh back then still make some laugh so much. I've actually just started rewatchung all Simon's GTA videos 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You say they're bad videos but you sat there and laughed at them for 15 minutes and so did everyone else watching. There was something special about them
There will unfortunately never be another gaming video with all the sidemen because harry only plays fortnite and fifa, and jj hasn't posted a gaming video or even appeared in one in over a year.
timmy I doubt that they will, jj will probably never be in another gaming video. Harry is also unlikely to be involved as he doesn't do group gaming videos anymore except for fortnite.
A fun game me and my friends would play in free roam is one person has a bmx bike and the rest have cars/motorbikes. The goal is to knock the person off the bmx and whoever knocks them of swaps with them and they get the bmx. It’s more fun set in the city as the person on the bmx has a better chance of survival.
I think the thing with free roam is partially just remembering the best of those early videos , like the mini games and things you just came up with on the fly like the bus glitch (how I found you lot btw, love 'em for that!), but also possibly thinking of how great it'd be now with all the stuff that's been added. Yeah, it may not actually be that great, but maybe do one more free roam vid just to see? Or make it part of a video, instead of having a full one dedicated to it. Idk, just my thoughts.
A stream/video of you and a few of the others just messing around on GTA to kind of send off the game would be really enjoyable and a really good time had 👊
Bet half the people watching this had no idea this video or the ones before it existed. Been here since the start of the GTA videos and further back. The good ol days.
Nice video Josh, just wondering why you have the greenscreen set up, but you still don't make use of it.. Perhaps it's a complex system to set up? Anyway hope you can figure it out someday.
i started youtube this year. took 2 months off due to reasons and then came back with Detroit. August and July were kind a booming for me. i mean yeah the views weren't exactly that high but for me it kept me motivated. however September it pretty much settled down. however i still continue to upload as much as I can and enjoy sharing my gaming experiences with people.
You guys should do some GTA sessions with all of you, like free roam hide and seek etc. and put it on the sidemen or the more sidemen channel. Or just do a couple games all together and make a sidemen gaming channel. That would be awesome
It’s making me miss free roam so much... the thing is there’s so many episodes you can go back and watch old ones and you can’t remember it a lot so it’s kinda like new again 😆
It's still funny to me 😂 especially the races , the ending is so tense!! Everyone crash and someone behind won it 😂 I'm still watching all the GTA videos
even though people obviously change, and youtubers’ content will obviously change, it does always make me sad thinking about the old sidemen. just the fact that so many of us here started following them for what they used to be... and then the idea that none of their newer followers know what it was like being a fan in those times, and they still get to keep getting all the content that they’ve always loved and been used to, as they know no different. what they do now is amazing. but I miss the days of gta, prop hunt, monopoly, cards against humanity, death run, trivial pursuit, murder, trials, guess who, h1z1, mini golf, uno, draw my thing :(
will always miss GTA, so cool to see the first ever again aha
nicostella 1st Of all how tf is there no replies to this lmao and also why is there josh’s log to the right of her name, is it cause she’s a sub or some shit?
Pure the logo is because i’m a member of the channel :) you can join too, it’s similar to subscribing on a platform like twitch :D
nicostella uhhh ight I’m guessing it’s just for pc
Pure you can join via the gaming app on your phone :)
nicostella I remember seeing u all the time in the live chat every minecraft Monday video josh did
THIS was OG shit. THIS, was when 7 of you were relatable, dorky, fun people just playing games for fun. THIS, was the reason I started following you guys. THIS, is what the sidemen is all about :)
gamersrage911 CANT AGREE MORE
Make that six Harry rarely played... But even then when he did it was legendary
True statement
Agree, but people do change.
i miss the days of gta, murder, prop hunt, death run, dead by daylight, monopoly, uno, h1z1 id do anything for you guys to upload these games again
Me too brother, me too.
still love the guys its just not the same anymore
CraftyMiner Fully agreed.
@@CraftyMinerYT They dodge those games for no reason whatsoever :(
If you want, you can blame Ethan. Him ragequitting Golf It threw their entire recording schedule into the chaos it is now.
Helmet boi origins will forever be funny
Samuel Camilo Fernandes such an underrated sentence.
fookin elmet boi m8
Fookin Elmet boiii m8
Please do a bit of free roam with the guys again. Ik you said you don't enjoy anymore but pretty sure everyone would love one last free roam videoooo
red dead redemption is right around the corner, pretty sure they'll have a lot of content on that game for free roam related vids.
theres no free roam in rdr 2
Tyson Brar it’s open world....
Ethans girlfriend...
Sick video, really appreciate the YT pep talk at 1:52 as well, good boost of morale
Where is the box
Aaaarghhhhhhh
Much love both of you
Oiiii top youtuber
Lol pep talk btw. He basically said YT success especially gaming is RNG and that he lucked up on success by finding an adder in a game quickly (which was complete RNG) 5 years ago and the culture that YT at that time was ripe for people playing one of the biggest games at that time with friends.
Niran Post the Wolves Career Mode Episode lol
HELMET BOY ORIGINS
HELMET BOY GOT AND UPGRADE M8 NOW ITS TOILET MAN WITH SHIT CONTENT
twice the wheels twice the fastness.
Abhash.g iconic the OG shit right there
Helmet boy origins mate
So is everyone agreeing there should be ‘THE RETURN OF HELMET BOY ORIGINS’
Never clicked so quickly, thank you for this josh!
Vik bunnin Ethan off the ramp is the best GTA vid😂
You talking about climbing those train carriages on the bikes?... all time greatest vid
What video is that
Now let us react to a new gta video..
Ha...
Got em😂
These days all of your vids are made with a goal to achieve in each game, whether its playing a minigame or completing X races...but sometimes its a lot of fun to just see y'all enjoy yourselves and fool around
Obviously the first videos werent that fun, but the creative things you did in GTA like the hide and seek, those things made GTA freeroam fun!
Helmet boy was also hilarious
Talent show
The beauty of them videos is that nothing had to happen. You guys were the entertainment and were bloody good at being entertaining. Videos now are way too complex and "fake". People trying to show of as much wealth as possible to get views rather than just being entreating and natural. Damn I miss original youtube content like what you guys used to produce
Feel like Josh is running out of vid ideas.... here's one... prop hunt :)
Lasciel death run
There are more ideas to videos than you can imagine, and these are sick!
Quite the opposite, these videos are occurring because I have a plethora of ideas.
@@ZerkaaPlays Huh, so you DO read the 20,000 leagues of comments under the video.
@@ZerkaaPlays touché

React to helmet boi
josh the only sideman who does what the fans actually want them to do.
All the Sidemen have to get back together for a game week. A full week of recording gaming videos together!
i think the reason the old gta vids are so good is because as a fan you can hear and feel you lot having the time of your life and laughin but then again i aint no scientist
And yes, YT has changed. Into this toxic wasteland where everyone hates each other, draws big red arrows and constant prying of brain to think of a title for views. Miss the old days, don't you?

JOSH... have a throwback session with the Sidemen, what could go wrong? Or Dead by daylight or murder or prop with all 7 of y’all.
Holy shit I’ve been subbed to this channel for 5 years. Episode 2 was the first video I watched on here. I never thought a few guys fooling around and having a laugh whilst playing a game would be so goddamn funny. Thank you Josh.

I love this idea so much!! Josh, you may try some other old gta videos because some of them are sooo funny.
Can remember this like it was yesterday, and I remember when they named the group the sidemen
These are the vids that sold me on how great the sidemen are cause it was just stupid mindless fun and it was the greatest videos they ever made
Didn't even realize I have watched josh so long, I remember when I was hyped myself for the gta 5 and when this first gta vid dropped I was gassed. Now when I think about it, it all makes sense, I was watching these vids way before I met my gf and now we have lived together over 2 years, time flies. Really hope Josh and the others would start posting gta vids frequently like in about a year ago.
I loved this! I love going back and watching some of the gta videos!!!! You should do this again😂😂😂
I miss them GTA races ..
Intros be always funny asf when Simon shouts Playlist and reads out the race name and be like Ethan go for it 😭😭
I loved this video so much 😭 Reminiscing on the old videos is so cool to see you all do!💕
That is why we liked it. Just having casual random fun is a lot more fun to watch than doing stunt races all the time.
Those GTA videos were the best shit ever. Ethan laugh back then still make some laugh so much. I've actually just started rewatchung all Simon's GTA videos 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You say they're bad videos but you sat there and laughed at them for 15 minutes and so did everyone else watching. There was something special about them
Good times, I remember back when I watched through all the GTA videos from first to most recent, best couple days ever
I loved this! Love to see more reactions to some of your videos. Maybe react to compilations if funny moments people make 😆
All we want is all 7 sidemen on GTA or Prop Hunt just 1 more time
I remember watching that first episode and I cried with laughter! This made me so reminiscent. Thank you for making me smile ♥️
There will unfortunately never be another gaming video with all the sidemen because harry only plays fortnite and fifa, and jj hasn't posted a gaming video or even appeared in one in over a year.
hopefully they all come back together for red dead 2, that would be legendary
timmy I doubt that they will, jj will probably never be in another gaming video. Harry is also unlikely to be involved as he doesn't do group gaming videos anymore except for fortnite.
I remember JJ playing Overwatch in one of Simon's vlogs a couple months ago.. that's possibly an option
Animated Person JJ still plays a lot of games as far as I know, but he doesn't play with the other guys (at least not when they're recording).
ZX T sucks man. Who knew that golf would be the last gaming video he would upload.
A fun game me and my friends would play in free roam is one person has a bmx bike and the rest have cars/motorbikes. The goal is to knock the person off the bmx and whoever knocks them of swaps with them and they get the bmx. It’s more fun set in the city as the person on the bmx has a better chance of survival.

This is one of the best ideas when you're out of ideas. What a throwback.
I give you respect for keeping adding your logos in every thumbnail for 5 years in the same place
no joke, Ethans laugh was a huge reason as to why the Sidemen got a following @ this point
A stream/video of you and a few of the others just messing around on GTA to kind of send off the game would be really enjoyable and a really good time had 👊
The nostalgia brings back so many memories. Best 5 years of my life!
When josh said he doesn’t think that they’ll get all 7 sidemen on a game ever again.... mah heart broke
7:51 the reason why josh survived part of it is because he has his helmet on m8
What a coincidence, was just rewatching some of the Sidemen's GTA funny moments just 2 days back
Good to see you struggled back in the day like we are but we are grafting and enjoying the journey along the way
Those were the best sidemen gta videos... I actually miss the good old days
I’m currently doing a gta rewatch and I’ve just entered the bog era
i really miss the sideman GTA 5 vids those days were awesome man !
I dont know about you guys, but sidemen playing GTA was one of the funniest and more entertaining things i have ever watched. Nostalgia
This is nostalgic. I watched them all. Sometimes twice. I got the boost boys. You got the boost boys. We all got the boost now boys.
Crazy how quick time has gone since this came out. Shout out to the OG's
“Don’t give up unless you need to give up”~ Josh zerker
Nice, that first video was recommended to me when it came out, so i’m basically a fan from the beginning.
My first time watching your video was when you and your mates were trolling KSI on minecraft. Bring back so much memories
Vik and his stabilizer/helmet boi bants was legendary
Josh it’s not just gta free roam that’s funny it’s you guys all together that made us laugh
Do a rags to riches series on it. Heck, completion of the heists even may put a smile on my face
These videos were actually so much fun we miss these sidemen
The absolute best gta video ever was when you did the beauty pageant and vik went as fookin elmet boi
Bet half the people watching this had no idea this video or the ones before it existed. Been here since the start of the GTA videos and further back. The good ol days.
It's not entertaining because of whats going on the screen, It's entertaining because you're having fun
Great video idea Josh! Great video to watch! Pretty interesting!
I watched these old videos so long ago.
Nostalgia
Nice video Josh, just wondering why you have the greenscreen set up, but you still don't make use of it.. Perhaps it's a complex system to set up? Anyway hope you can figure it out someday.
Yup, these were the videos that got me through my midde school days, dayum
those videos are so jokes and for giggles. those are the videos that we love... those were definitely not bad videos at all
Wish JJ and Harry play games with you guys again. They always made the videos funnier.
I enjoy u reacting to old vids bud especially seeing old vids with jj in it
Those hide and seek vids on gta will always be in my heart
GTA is what brought me to your channel Josh and i've watched every day since, that was 4/5 years ago.
i started youtube this year. took 2 months off due to reasons and then came back with Detroit. August and July were kind a booming for me. i mean yeah the views weren't exactly that high but for me it kept me motivated. however September it pretty much settled down. however i still continue to upload as much as I can and enjoy sharing my gaming experiences with people.
Those old videos are better than any new video on your Channel please do more videos like them
Ohh those days were great.... wow so much has changed with u guys and my life... crazy
Josh, you never sounded young, you will always be the old man of the sidemen
When GTA VI comes out,they can do a sidemen Sunday with all of them doing free roam challenges and other random shit
good times can't believe it's been 5 years since GTA 5 came out.... I remember staying home from high school so I could play GTA all night
You guys should do some GTA sessions with all of you, like free roam hide and seek etc. and put it on the sidemen or the more sidemen channel. Or just do a couple games all together and make a sidemen gaming channel. That would be awesome
I used to binge watch gta races every 3 months. always Josh’s perspective because I only support winners. fun times
Your videos always make me laugh :D , also loving the variety videos, always good to try something new
love u josh love how u got a 5 min reacting video into a 17 min
I still watch GTA v funny moments and Ethan's rages are the best
I weird to think that it's already been 5+ years since I started watching all of the sidemen
It's mad that i remember watching these when they came out.
It’s making me miss free roam so much... the thing is there’s so many episodes you can go back and watch old ones and you can’t remember it a lot so it’s kinda like new again 😆
I can really see that Josh does appreciate the Sidemen and so do I
But not like i know them on a personal level
This is still funny 😂😂😂 the background music made it better!!😂😂😂
you should react to the helmet boi/stabilizer videos or the glitch video
It's still funny to me 😂 especially the races , the ending is so tense!! Everyone crash and someone behind won it 😂 I'm still watching all the GTA videos
I hope we see the return of all the Sidemen on Black Ops 4 Private match's like before!
even though people obviously change, and youtubers’ content will obviously change, it does always make me sad thinking about the old sidemen. just the fact that so many of us here started following them for what they used to be... and then the idea that none of their newer followers know what it was like being a fan in those times, and they still get to keep getting all the content that they’ve always loved and been used to, as they know no different.
what they do now is amazing. but I miss the days of gta, prop hunt, monopoly, cards against humanity, death run, trivial pursuit, murder, trials, guess who, h1z1, mini golf, uno, draw my thing :(
11:51 it looks like Josh's face is like ' Help please help'
Nostalgia hitting me hard though... The reason we loved the sidemen as kids I see it here.
those were the golden days... good old memories boys swear im sweating from my eyes
I remember the old rap battle video in gta u made that was so jokesss
