The Story of The Sidemen
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 เม.ย. 2021
- The Sidemen have without a doubt become one of the most notorious groups on all of TH-cam. A touch of genius from KSI, Miniminter, W2S, Vikkstar123, Zerkaa, TBJZL and Behzinga has built the channel into a behemoth with more than 10 million subscribers. However, the Sidemen weren't always this large successful channel, and in order to get to where they are today, they've had to endure some serious ups and downs. This video will cover that journey, from a random GTA V online group called "The Ultimate Sidemen" to the Sidemen of 2021.
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2 XO ❤ - บันเทิง
Never forget the sidemen £100 and £10,000 holiday video absolute genius
Yeah it was the holiday video that brought Sidemen Sundays to another level of quality. The tinder videos were afterwards.
Holidays > Tinder
@@jbanksey22 facts
It's their most watched video beating the best tinder video by around 5 million views
it was all thanks to zerkka. without him the £100 vs £10,000 holiday videos wouldn't exist
The moment Logan realized he lost while holding his arm up in the air, one of the funniest moments ever😭
*"Lets go champ"*
He has legs and he's white allow it
@@nCoTRG allowed
when logan heard "united" you can see in his eyes that he thought that he had won
Nah Shannon was holding Logans arm in the air dont give him the slack for that
The Sidemen are all legends. They started as a group of friends making videos and after all these years of success with JJ becoming a mainstream celebrity with chart topping songs and so on... they still remained friends and are doing better than ever. That is why you can't compare any other group to them when it comes to their chemistry and friendship
Enjoy a 69th like

What about dude perfect tho
@@mrgtrfan100 only thing different with them is that none of them too a different path while still doing Dude Perfect like KSI has done with music but yes Dude Perfect is definitely up there with the Sidemen I’ve been watching Dude Perfect for so long now and tbh i still watch there videos from time to time cause there still a funny group and tbh it’s makes u feel like a kid watching there stuff it throws me back hella
Vanoss crew. (Not counting miniladd)
Expecting this to be reacted to on sidmen reacts
Me too
I guarantee it
ay I'm here from the vid well catch my g
it did lol
Nice foreshadowing
I've watched the sidemen since 2014 after I started watching Vik in 2013 and found about them through his main channel. Best 8 years of watching ever!
W
soooooo.....you like to watch
Dude! I found them the same way but a year later.
WWWWW!! I found them because of Vikk as well. As people may know, Vikk was from a MC group called the "Pack". Then the rest was history.
Sorry ard
The fact that i was just watching a sidemen video when this came out
same I was watching Zerkaa Thursday lmao
I was watching jjs Reddit video
I was watching sidemen reacts
@@karlossingh842 same
OH YEAH THATS FUCKING MENTAL !!! CRAZY DONT EVER FORGET THIS DAY !! WTAF I DONT EVEN BELIEVE YOU!??!?
The Sidemen editing and production teams really don't get enough credit, as great and as legendary as the Sidemen are, they wouldn't be where they are today without their top class video editors...
Dude the Sidemen 20 vs 1 videos are absolute gold. The one with Speed is probably the funniest thing I’ve watched in a while
as a dude who always has heard of the sidemen and never knew what they did this video is quite interesting
Missing out on allat bruv they were my childhood watch some of their vids
Same
@@jjcarmichael1143 n0
I have no idea who they are at all.
yeah my friends always watched them but i didnt
I grew up with these lads, they're my age and I loved to see them grow since the early stage
Just curious. What do you mean you grew up with them? Like as in you grew up watching their vidoes and they were a big influence on you or you quite literally grew up with some of them in your childhood?
@@daltonevans3412 I'm sure he meant grew up watching their videos.
If you’re their age, you didn’t grow up watching them
@@Oswadomob his growing up is diff to urs because he is much older now so his 16-18 year old mark is probably growing up to as that’s when these lot started out early early
tinder didnt really boost it they had other huge videos before that
Been a Sidemen fan from a couple of years...i have watched almost all of their videos...absolute legends and the BEST.
Ayo why is Ksi & Vik white in the thumbnail😭💀
I discovered their channel in late 2019. I've watched KSI for many years and was aware of the groups existance, but I was never as invested as I am now. Suffice to say, one of the greatest discoveries I've ever made.
Same, I watched KSI videos when he was still living with his parents and deji, I know the sidemen exist, but never really check them out.
Josh and tobi went to a school literally round the corner from my house and I never knew...
That is a pretty chunky shiba
you've baited out your location
not exact tho so it doesn't really matter
I’ve only ever watched ksi back in high school in 2013 when he’d play fifa and do the get hyper videos.. sadly I did jail time for 7 years for some serious shit. I got out just before the pandemic hit and learned that my guy is out here making big moves since I’ve last heard of him. Truly a good influence on the youth.
Hope you've gotten your life together my friend, 7 years is a long time 🙏🏽
😔
@@akd.29 THANK YOU . I didn’t even notice your reply bro. So far I’m still surviving and I’ve learned from my mistakes. Making better choices now and doing alright so far. I pray for many blessings upon your life. One Love 💯
@@BruceWayne-ue5dj keep at it king, we’re all gonna make it 🙏
@X-Terminator2.0 same question
as a guy who watched KSI, Vik, & Zerka back in 2010 this level of growth was amazing to watch
Even before the tinder video, they already had an "out of the box" idea like the $100 vs $10000 holidays and the calorie challenge.
To be fair though, the tinder video is the idea that inspired a lot of creators, including Jake Paul
To be fair though
@The Brick Layer you wouldnt get it

This aged like fine Wine
I grew up with these guys it's crazy to see how far they have came since then, I'm glad they are in my life and I hope they last forever!!
Sidemen is the like wu tang clan version of youtube
Even as solo channels
Still successful like raekwon, ghostface, gza, method man, I dec, Odb (rip)
Etc.
Method man odb Gza Rza raekwon ghostface killah masta killa u god inspecta deck
@@ErickReyesRomeroBanks u god.. Not that big or crazy as the rest.
But a great rapper
would rather say NWA tbh
@@broddamuss4193 well. Really hasn't been a beef i can recall. Thats REAL
But that's not a bad option too.
@@BoosieBoose understandable
Favourite group besides tribe, roots, nwa and wu tang? Mines Three6mafia tbh
I remember refering to them as ''Sidemen'' back in 2015, and I dreamed of them making many IRL videos together, everything changed in 2018, when they started posting weekly I thought I was living a dream, I've relentlessly been watching all their content since 2015 on every channel.
Legends, when they quit youtube, youtube will die, change my mind.
WhEn tHeY QUit YOuTuBe, YOuTuBe wILl dIe
@@Joeysaladslover Very convincing counter argument 👏
@@leobernknopf7855 there are plenty of creators as big or bigger, they don’t hold TH-cam up on their backs, if you attempted to think I wouldn’t need to spout evidence that sits blatantly in front of your eyes.
@@leobernknopf7855 when they quit there will be another group to replace them and fill the void. Granted there will be tons of nostalgia and great memories TH-cam won’t die lmao. It’s childish to think that
@@leobernknopf7855 This made me chuckle
I think the two main things that made them so successful is their unique video ideas and how natural and hilarious their interactions are within them. You can tell how close they are as actual friends and they produce some of the funniest content on the platform. Good lads.
Love the energy of sideman. It helped me, get through my cancer treatment. I am going to meet those guys one day n thank them.
First found the sidemen from Viks MC channel maybe 6 years ago, I haven't watched them for a while now but it's exciting hearing updates every now and again like Ethan's weight loss journey and Viks engagement
These legends legit made the person i am today i don't know where id be without these guys.
Was it the saxophone video JJ did that changed your life?
that's pretty sad.
@@sko1beerabs
Just started watching them this year. I love their $100 vs $100000 video ideas, they're the best and I find myself rewatching them from time to time
you missed a lot and I mean *A LOT*
@@a_09.7 That's alright lol, just gonna enjoy them for their more recent content
I've been wondering why it's taken so long for a creator to do a deep dive into the magic that is the Sidemen! They are legends indeed! Thanks for this 😊
I loved every single part of sidemen. From the disstracks to the entire gang. Watched vik from around 50k subs i think. Found W2S funny shit. Then kept watching. Still watching to this day.
Unpopular opinion: josh is my favourite sidemen atm. I am watching him alot on twitch recently. He is funny af.
if josh is your favorite how is that an unpopular opinion?
@@chinmaytope622 you talking just to talk.
I've watched em since 2013 and I still do. They r amazing. They keep coming out with banging sidemen Sunday videos. The sidemen is the greatest TH-cam friend group on the platform. Nobody can dethrone em.
Just a fact check. They already filmed the Sidemen originals when the podcast came out announcing that Sidemen Sundays would be a thing. They weren't trying to show TH-cam that they could get views rather, they needed to get the Sidemen to a specific average viewership so that they could upload the Sidemen TH-cam originals on the Sidemen channel rather than what was originally planned where they'd upload one episode on each of the members' channels
This video should be retitled The story of the Sidemen : KSI edition
I’ve started the whole journey with good old Vikkstar123 in 2014 when I was in Year 9. I later found the Sidemen through Vikkstar and I’ve been watching these guys through high school and through university and I’ve loved every minute of it.
been a fan from the beginning of the gta videos, this vid really makes me think about how far they've come.
So many people grew up watching the Sidemen including me. I'm glad to have seen their success, they more than deserve it! The genuine friendship between the guys has never stopped showing, thats what kept them afloat in my opinion.
the sidemen tinder WAS LIFE CHANGING
I started watching ksi in 2013, after all of these years I am so proud of all of them for making it big
They are my childhood! I remember coming home from Middle school back in 2014 to watch their pack openings, skits, and football videos that they'd do together. The memories man, now I'm 19 and after 8-9 years of being their fan I'm still watching their content daily or rewatching their videos from the good ol days!
(I first found the Sidemen due to Simon and his 2014 FIFA series)
Sidemen, it’s an awesome channel, and also it’s really funny, and also man I just gotta say I love you’re channel, if you see this, keep it up
I have waited for this one
Yo I was waiting for this! Letss go lets goo bro
First clicked on your channel to watch a vid on somebody I know, watching all your shit even when ive never heard of the people. Hopefully nobody ever makes a similar video on your channel, killer stuff homie
I started watching Miniminter and KSI in their Fifa days. Amazing to see their growth. Sidemen defo my favorite channel
The sidemen have dominated the uk landscape for the last decade and will do so for the next.. RESPECT ✊
They big over here too
Beta Squad are giving them a bit of trouble now, their videos are hilarious
tinder didnt really boost it they had other huge videos before that
@@acomeback4033 no beta squad videos in comparison to sidemen are just poor and they don’t have enough character they’ve only got chunkz and nico they need more members like darkest or Philly to add more entertainment it’s like saying amp is pushing the sidemen both groups are just lacklustre in comparison to the sidemen where they lack the character the sidemen have
@@txrhv9743 didn't ksi himself say beta squad pushes the sidemen to come up with better ideas?
Let’s go Sunny V2 making vids about my favourite youtuber

@@Mrbruh6000 damn bro that's hilarious
I love stories like these, something amazing begins, then it starts to get derailed and falls, and eventually a rebirth happens that allows it to have closure in the best way possible. I hope Smosh does the same.
I’ve been watching them for so long and I’m talking 7+ years. I’m so proud of them I love them.
Theyre so underrated in America. None of the people I know watch them unless they play fifa. Ive been following the sidemen and Ksi since like 2012. Love watching them.
I've watched KSI since 2012, been around since the start of the Sidemen, what a journey!!
The holiday videos were the ones that upped the standard for sidemens content. Also Sidemen clothing was a huge thing too. But dope vid
man this brought back some memories, started watching KSI in 2012 and watched them all grow from there, also later realised i watched Vik and Josh before 2012 because of their CoD content.
Idk why but i keep returning to this video, having watched jj and harry from their early days and seen them grow this video just feels so good to me, absolute king sunny
I'm a huge sidemen fan but thanks I actually learned alot from this
Not big enough of a fan as i can see 😬
@@smallppbigdreams9708 calm down lil peep pfp
@@smallppbigdreams9708 🤫
There’s definitely going to be a sidemen reacts to this video 😂
well you're right.
This aged well
The growth these lads, has me teary ngl.
i've been watching the sidemen since the first sidemen house, and they're probably the only group that im still watching.
Hey, wake up. SunnyV2 uploaded.
i only like the ones where there's a downfall :)
Expecting a sidemen reacts video of them reacting to this
im proud to say ive been watching the sidemen since their inception, with their 1st video all together in person can be found and is called the helium challenge,i had been watching ksi even before that ever since his road to beastiality series (10 years ago), its been amazing to see their growth individually and a as a group
you know it was actually this video that got me watching the sidemen, and now they are my fav
It's been 8 years since I've been watching them, from age of 13 to 21, what an incredible journey though. BTW you created this video very informative and covered the whole story thank you
When adventure started playing in the background though ❤️❤️😭😭
I've watching sidemen since I was 13, Callux got me introduced to every bit KSI is the very first one I ever watched for the funny fifa content. Same with w2s. Theyre growth is insane.
Congratulations on 300k Subscribers!
i started watchning deji first then jj then just kept watching jj then came simon and fhe rest of the group ..have to say sidemen is one of the best if not the best group in youtube today.. even during the lockdown the content the put out andtrying their best to making us laugh and everythng .. they deserve all of this.. and before lockdown all their videos 100 vs 10000 vacation, pub golf , cahllenges etc were bangers
Actually crazy to see just how big you can grow from TH-cam
Yes rewatching great vid
Thank you, that was a precise and informative video
You’ve done them dirty in that thumbnail bro 😂
Thank you for the godlike video recently
Bro your content is amazing
i’ve been watching vik since the minecraft days with lachlan, that’s the only reason i found the sidemen and the other creators, love them to this day
i cant get over the thumbnail 💀 why do jj and vik have the same skin color and the fucking virgin stache fr cracked me up
Words can't describe how good these guys are and are never gonna be forgotten
These guys have some great content :D
Great video...I loved that RuneScape songs lol
Ksi looking lightskin on the thumbnail
I feel bad because according to Josh, JJ over exaggerated the things he said to Ryan Higa
Yeah and so did Simon and vik say about that, watch sidemen reacts' new vid
@@ion9084 oh well it’s not that deep
I remember watching Ksi early on. Then the sidemen. I loved the crossbar challenge video. Saw the first charity match live. Proud of how far they have made it
Thank you for including those amazingly funny w2s moments
LESSGOOOOO SIDEMEN BEST TH-cam GROUP EVERRRRR
LETS GOOOOO
*Sad VannosGaming Noises*
@@nezosai vannos fell off hard mate
Yeah probably 😂
Nah. VanossCrew better imo.
Sideman are honestly the best group channel if not the best channel on TH-cam
Been watching Simon and Harry before 2013 and stayed with them since, easily the best group I have watched on YT
Been a nice 8 years....love these guys
why do jj and vik look like rhino and noah boat in the thumbnail
I always had my friends talking about The Sidemen at a school in about 2013-4 I got my iPad Just next year and since then I haven’t stopped watching other then taking a 2 year break just forgetting them
I've watched Miniminter for around 8-9 years and through him I found rest of the Sidemen, these guys have (to me) always be hilarious and only go up in quality!
Love it great video hope they watch this
I challenge you to go and ask any 12-21 year old in Britain who the Sidemen are and 95% will recognise them
Nope.
If you go to middle class rural areas and asked 13 yo girls who love BTS or Harry Styles they will have no clue.
"Hold your wife, i got a knife."

U mean hide
Love them and there the ones that introduced me to so many excellent creators like ChrisMD callux freezyy chip Randolph etc. the day they break up is a day of mourning. They got me into the EPL. Truly brilliant and truly legendary
Never miss a video of any of theirs. Started watching deji and JJ in 2012 and haven’t missed a beat since. from America BTW
Finally they reacted and posted on their sidemen reacts channel
I’ve heard of him before but I didn’t knew what a legend KSI really is.
Just like Mr. Beast. They just understood YT and played it right…fascinating.
I've started watching them since 2014-15 after watching W2S's videos. Still enjoying them to this day
I used to watch the Sidemen back in the early-early GTA vids. Super funny stuff.
white ksi does'nt exist
white ksi :
Man I was smiling through the majority of this vid
I remember watching their videos after school, i was in elementary school and now i'm in college and still watching them
Great video but as someone who watched sidemen since 2014 i would have mentioned FIFA and charity games all in all great video like every other you made you're underrated TH-camr
