Sidemen (Web Video)	comment	The Sidemen, initially formed as the Ultimate Sidemen, are a British online entertainment collective group that was officially formed on 19 October 2013, consisting of seven members since 2014.The group started out as a collaborative group of video game commentators on YouTube who were then known for playing various games, mostly FIFA. Most of their earliest videos were "funny moments" compilations of their Grand Theft Auto Online sessions, most of which involved wacky races against one another; in fact, the group was formed through the game as a Rockstar Games Social Club crew. They quickly expanded not long after to a rotating selection of other games they often played.As the group evolved over time, they quickly made various other videos where they did silly challenges and engaged in lots of banter. Their antics caused their popularity to explode just a couple years after their formation; their ascension from beyond the confines of a mere YouTube group first began in October 2014 with a web video miniseries for Comedy Central UK called The Sidemen Experience.By the end of The New '10s, the Sidemen became a well-managed online brand with one of the biggest followings in the UK YouTube scene, especially among young viewers, and it can be argued that they are one of the biggest celebrity groups in the country.Their activities and business ventures have included charity football matches against other popular YouTubers annually from 2016 to 2023 (barring a four-year hiatus between 2018 and 2022), a #1 best-selling book, a YouTube Original reality stunt miniseries titled The Sidemen Show, an extensive clothing and merchandise brand (which has included collaborations with famous brands such as Mr. Men, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Topps trading cards), a physical retail store, their own subscription streaming service, and even their own restaurant chain and brands of vodka and breakfast cereal. On Valentine's Day 2024, the group released an autobiographical documentary on Netflixnote currently only available in the UK and Ireland called The Sidemen Story, detailing the group's rise during their first decade together but also each member's personal struggles both before and during their time together as a group and how they overcame them.The seven-man group still remains pretty tight with one another. Despite often appearing as Vitriolic Best Buds — and usually each other's Butt Monkeys as well — they still show a genuine love for each other at the end of the day. Although the group's name began as a joke about how everyone else in the group was a "side man" to KSI early in their careers, their content is operated such that everyone pulls their own weight and is no more or less important, with strong group chemistry and individual followings to show for it. Not bad for a group of seven guys who just fool around a lot.As a whole, the group has six YouTube channels as of April 2023 — their main channel, a secondary channel called "More Sidemen", a Reaction Video channel, a channel featuring short clips from their videos, a (short-lived) channel featuring Spanish-language dubs of their older videos, and a tertiary channel called "Even More Sidemen".note Actually for April Fools' Day pranks where the group deliberately uses clickbait to make it seem that they are meeting famous celebrities, only to reveal that they are just awkward watching an object playing off a celeb's name; it began in 2023 and has just two videos as of 2024. Their official website can be found here.442oons made the series Frontmen based on that original YouTube channel.Members of the Sidemen (founding members in bold): Behzinga (Ethan Payne): The most easily-amused and most easily-riled-up Sideman. He was also known for being the heaviest Sideman but is now Formerly Fat and a fitness fanatic. He first met KSI, Simon, Josh, and Tobi the month before the group formed. He was also the one who named the group. KSI (Olajide "JJ" Olatunji): The most popular Sideman, except within the crew. Britain's most famous individual YouTuber. He's a platinum-selling rap artist, part-time boxer, and Large Ham extraordinaire. Miniminter (Simon Minter): The second-oldest and third-most popular Sideman, and the one with the longest-running active YouTube channel compared to the rest of the group. A big-time Competition Freak, he's the captain of the group's football club. He's so close to JJ that they shared a flat after they, Josh, and Vik moved out of the second Sidemen House.note Simon moved out of said flat in 2022. TBJZLnote "Tobjizzle" (Tobi Brown): Near-universally considered the nicest of the Sidemen. He's been friends with Josh below since the beginning of secondary school. Also quite open of his faith. Vikkstar123 (Vik Barn): The highly-productive Sideman of Indian descent who's not a FIFA gamer like the others. Runs three channels. A long-time Call of Duty fan, he's in the pro-am eSports circuit as part of the London Royal Ravens. He was also known for his Minecraft content, but he's now branched out to games such as Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone. He officially joined the group the month after their formation. wroetoshawnote or just "W2S" (Harry Lewis): The youngest and second-most popular Sideman, he hails from Guernsey. He was once known for not hanging with the others as much. In fact, he hardly makes his own videos these days. He joined in early 2014 when the group was still informal. Zerkaa (Josh Bradley): The oldest (though only by mere days ahead of Simon) and usually the Only Sane Sideman, he's the group's go-to business manager. He's also the one with the (most prominent) beard.

Harry screamed so loudly that his microphone clipped, making him sound like Godzilla; in fact, his scream along with a clip from Godzilla (2014) has been used as a logo for later MoreSidemen videos.

Josh and Tobi. Simon and Josh, who have a series of playing random games together. They are also the only two Sidemen who consistently appear in nearly every GTA V session (largely due to their respective roles as the event announcer and game host within sessions). JJ and Simon, on the account that they were the only two members still living together after the end of the Sidemen House era. They eventually moved into separate flats in 2022.

Simon then combated this in his "reacting to JJ reacting to Harry's new car" video, where he puts on a pair of glasses that clearly have paper (towel) wrapped on the lenses with "DEALT WITH" written on it. Both glasses reappeared in their hair dye FIFA wager video.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_1f050d03	type	Squad Nickname
Sidemen (Web Video) / int_1f050d03	comment	Squad Nicknames: Similar to how Achievement Hunter used to split their main group into two main teams, the Sidemen usually divided themselves into two main groups in GTA races. Their team names were based on their preferred supercars, the Adder Gang (Vik, Tobi, JJ, and Harry) and the Zentorno Gang (Ethan, Simon, and Josh, a.k.a. the "Zentorbros"). They mostly stopped doing this for a while after the move to Xbox One, especially considering that Harry and JJ would stop participating in GTA for a while, which left Vik and Tobi on their own for Adder Gang. Those two did not play GTA as frequently as the Zentorbros (although it's by no means infrequent), which left those races lob-sided. With the shift to Play Station 4, the Sidemen have largely stopped using Zentornos and Adders, preferring to unanimously use Progen T20s. There are also preferred teams for GTA deathmatches, The Ultimate Sidemen (Simon, Ethan and Tobi) and Team 2/The Dribble Squad (Josh, Vik, Harry and/or JJ). Recently, there have been two new teams formed in GTA last man standing events, Team Eleven Years (Josh and Tobi) and The Division (Simon, JJ, Vik, and Ethan, though not involving all four at once for obvious balancing reasons). There's also other pairings such as Emon (Ethan and Simon). In Sidemen Sunday videos prior to the end of the Sidemen House, the standard teams for challenge videos are The House (Simon, JJ, Josh and Vik) and The Rest (Harry, Ethan and Tobi). For balancing reasons, one random member of The House does not contest and instead judges the challenge.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_2b7ec38e	comment	The Scrappy: In-Universe examples: Among others, the "The basic suffering that pervades all of existence" card in Cards Against Humanity. That being said, a Sideman might pick a Scrappy card anyway out of spite and banter. Motorbike races on water in Grand Theft Auto Online, especially since they are usually in normal, non-GTA races.note Which means no exiting vehicles or dismounting bikes, so if a player goes in the water, they can't do a thing about it except to have the game respawn them automatically. The blue, pink and orange sets in Monopoly Plus are considered by the Sidemen to be the biggest game-changers of all the sets. Vik and Josh have had several victories credited to the blues and oranges, and JJ has a tendency to repeatedly earn the pinks and use them to his advantage. In Bully, Tobi holds a special torch of hatred towards Gary due to his obnoxious and bossy persona, and frequently voiced his lack of enjoyment while doing a mission in episode 6 that required the main character Jimmy to be ordered around by Gary.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_3d699462	comment	In Monopoly Plus, after having a Curb-Stomp Battle the last time he played, JJ gained the pink and brown monopolies through trades. To that point the game had been reasonably even, but after that JJ used all the money he had built up to almost completely exhaust the house limit on the board, and the luck streak returned as he avoided everyone else's monopolies and racked up big earnings from his own. It seemed another Curb-Stomp Battle was set to happen... only for JJ to be disconnected from the game.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_4023b8c8	comment	First-Name Basis: With the exception of JJ as his real given name is a bit too much to pronounce,note It's pronounced oh-la-gee-day; oh-la like the Spanish word for hello (hola), gee like the seventh letter of the alphabet, and day as in a period of twenty-four hours. they will refer to one another by their first names. This can be a bit hard to follow if you're new to the group's videos and started watching them through their earlier gaming videos (before they used facecams). Ethan does this moreso as he often says their proper first names; he often calls wroetoshaw (Harry) by his real first name Harold, sometimes calls Zerkaa (Josh) by his full first name Joshua, and even sometimes truncates JJ's real first name Olajide as "Jide". The other Sidemen say those three's proper first names (especially JJ) to a much lesser extent.

They've all since moved out because they wanted to be living in the more lively London, they wouldn't have to drag the other members out of the city in order to do videos together, Josh wanted to live with his girlfriend, and they never even used that much of the space they had anyway.

They were allowed to fill to capacity for all their subsequent matches. The group started out only making Let's Play videos, while their Real Life videos were few and far between. Today, the opposite is true, as their gameplay videos together are now relegated to MoreSidemen and they only release a couple such videos a week. Obviously, their earliest videos did not have Harry; he joined the year after they formed. The Sidemen Experience was made in 2014, when the group were only fairly decently known online, and was a more sparce production made for a TV channel's website. Today, the group's studio productions for their main channel are much more professional and they've even made a couple parody Game Show videos with the sets and crews of those shows.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_5b3c4b05	comment	X Must Not Win: There will always be the Sideman who's doing a bit too well, forcing the rest of the players to team up against them to prevent them from winning. Bonus points if the targeted Sideman starts fucking up, allowing another to win. Unless it's an Adder vs. Zentorno race (of if they are just stuck with him), the whole group is willing to do anything to stop JJ from winning. In Vik's CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY #3, everyone teams up against JJ with JJ winning nonetheless. In this race, Simon and Vik team up to stop JJ from finishing in second place. They succeed. In Ethan's IT JUST DOESN'T STOP! game of Cards Against Humanity, JJ started off with an insane lead, getting 7 points compared to everyone else's 1 or 2 while Josh had 0. However, the tides turned around halfway into the game; Simon started gaining an upper hand most significantly trailing very closely behind JJ, and everyone else had 4 points, so they weren't too far behind. Ethan ends up making the final Czar decision that, in its total number of outcomes, could give JJ the win or tie him and Simon together, and he chooses JJ's card. As shown by his immediate reaction ("FUCK!"), he quickly regretted the decision. Ethan also gets this in games without JJ, mainly in games he's either never won or won very few times in. Josh also gets this treatment due to his reputation as The Ace. All the time while playing Trivial Pursuit, usually come the final round. In this game, Josh and Ethan team up against Simon with Ethan winning the game. In this game, Vik and Ethan team up against Josh with Josh winning nonetheless. In this game, Vik and Simon and Josh team up against Ethan with Josh winning the game. In this game, Tobi, Simon, and Josh team up against Vik (who is trying to pull a Dark Horse Victory) in the final round with Vik winning nonetheless. Monopoly Plus also sees similar team-ups, with the success varying depending on personal luck. In this game, Simon, Josh, JJ and Tobi team up against Vik with Vik winning nonetheless. In this game, JJ, Ethan and Vik team up against Josh with Ethan winning the game. In this game, Simon is at a comfortable lead and Vik rage-quits the game. In seems like Simon is going to win the game, but then Ethan decides to declare bankruptcy and give Josh all his properties. Josh builds houses on his monopolies (especially the green set) and eventually causes Simon to declare bankruptcy. The aptly titled "WE MUST BEAT ETHAN" episode of Skate 3. The motion to beat Ethan came into play after Ethan pulled the rug from underneath Simon at the last minute in the Crystal Crashers level, provoking him to successfully claim revenge on him in the Kubic Khaos level. In this race, Simon manages to build a strong lead through the races' first two laps. However, halfway through the second lap, Josh, Vik and Harry all blow him up near a certain checkpoint, allowing everyone to catch up to him. Simon continues to be blown up and overtaken throughout the remainder of the lap, and ultimately finishes in last place. In Vik's GTA 5 Funny Moments #514, Simon, Josh, and Ethan team up against Vik when he starts doing exceptionally well on the Devil's Mountain race. Vik holds the lead for a bit after the plan is put into play, but then things start falling apart; he has a particularly nasty fall that allows Ethan to take the lead, and his car is then smashed into from above by Simon, putting him in third. Eventually, in midair Josh passes Vik by, putting him in dead last, which is the place that he finishes in. In the "Concerto Por Auto" race, Vik and JJ give up halfway through and target Simon and Josh, who are in the lead. Due to this, first place constantly fluctuates between the two of them, as they order the others to take the other out. At the very end, Josh is taken out of his lead, allowing Simon to take first for a very brief moment... until JJ pins him to the walls, allowing Josh to take the victory. Golf With Your Friends: In this game, Simon, Tobi, and Josh team up against Vik (considering he got four hole-in-ones consecutively at the start) with Tobi winning the game.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_7815ba15	comment	N-Word Privileges: The white Sidemen and Vik don't tend to give themselves this liberty, especially when the two black members (Tobi and JJ) are around. Simon decided to work around this by smearing Nutella on his face, going up to JJ, and saying the N-word to his face (which got bleeped out). JJ promptly broke down laughing. In one of Josh's GTA Online episodes, Ethan casually said something that sounded like "niggas", causing every Sideman playing (white or black) to flip their shit. Ethan then defended himself by stating that he was merely saying "negos" after the race creator's name (XxnegoskxX), and also gave a ridiculous description of what said name meant that caused everyone to laugh out loud. In Cards Against Humanity, cards bearing the N-word are usually organized so the Czar won't have to say the word and instead JJ will come in just to say it. If all members present are not black, "Nigel" gets used as a replacement. A specific variation for Vik would be P-word privileges. Either on Cards Against Humanity or Mean Tweets, Vikk is the only one to read out loud the anti-Asian slur "Paki" note "Paki" is seen as offensive as the N-word in the UK but is it directed towards mostly South Asians and to a lesser extent West Asians and North Africans. usually directed at him or about him.note Vik does not typically use the word anyways and is usually censored in the Mean Tweets videos when he reads it out anyways. In one of the Golf It videos, Josh appears to say: "Vikkstar is a Paki". Leading Vik to ask Josh what he called him whilst Simon and Ethan are just jaw-dropped over it. Josh claims he actually said: "Vikkstar is a Pikey" not that it explains or justifies why he randomly said this anyways as "Pikey" is a separate racial slur used toward the Romani or other traveller communities. This trope toned down over the years as they've become an established, world-famous group with a lot of young fans. This trope also likely stopped dead in its tracks in April 2023 after they garnered serious controversy for KSI speaking "Paki" (which was bleeped) in a since-removed Sidemen Sunday video where the group and several affiliates played Countdown.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_8a295a46	type	Cool Car
Sidemen (Web Video) / int_8a295a46	comment	Cool Car: Some of the Sidemen have shown off their impressive cars. In September 2014, Harry made a video showing off his setup as well as his new car, which was a chrome-wrapped Range Rover Evoque. Three months later, Harry made a video showing off a rose gold-tinted Ferrari 458. He made a follow-up video stating that the Ferrari wasn't actually his and that he still had his Evoque, but now wrapped in gold. Later in summer 2015, he sold his Evoque to Calfreezy and then purchased a white 50th anniversary model Lamborghini Gallardo. JJ made a reaction video to Harry's Ferrari video in which he showed off his orange Lamborghini Aventador in an effort to upstage Harry (which in turn caused a small memetic movement of similar videos, including people like Simon and JJ's brother Deji). Around the time "Lamborghini" came out (March 2015), the Aventador had a partial metallic purple wrapping, with the visible original orange showing as Tron Lines, along with a new sound system, orange brakes, and LED lighting. In August 2015, JJ revealed via Twitter that his Lambo was being redone once more, with the final result having black wrapping with red Tron Lines. Vik currently owns an Aston Martin V8 Vantage and a Tesla Model S 90D. Simon currently owns a black Tesla Model X P 100D and previously owned a red Range Rover Evoque. Within GTA V, the Progen T20 has become this for all the Sidemen since its release in July 2015. Up to that point they had been split in teams over whether the Zentorno or the Adder was the best car for races, but when the T20 was released, they all decided it was superior to both of them, and it has since become all the Sidemen's primary vehicle of choice for races.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_b4eff8a8	comment	Epic Fail: This Trivial Pursuit game had Ethan, Simon, and Josh flubbing more questions than ever before. All three of them frequently lampshaded how dumb they were. One special moment of stupidity had to be when the game asked to identify between Niagara Falls and Victoria Falls which one was named after royalty. Ethan chose Niagara Falls. In another special moment of stupidity in one of their Trivial Pursuit games, Josh somehow doesn't know that Michael Jordan played for the Chicago Bulls (he chose Magic Johnson instead). The others even noted that the fact that Jordan played for Bulls is more well-known than the fact that Jordan appeared in Space Jam. In this Draw My Thing session, Simon, Josh, Vik and Ethan all fail to identify a drawing of a cell phone. Even when half the words of "cell phone" are revealed.note To be a bit fair, being Brits, they would call it a "mobile phone". Skate 3: The Brute Chute level in "WE MUST BEAT ETHAN", serving as the tiebreaker round. The level starts with the player having to make a fairly lofty jump (and get past some bent railing) without the usage of a ramp. All three of them failed to properly clear it, and an alternative route had to come into play. The Mega Meat Mayhem level in "LEARNING TO FLY" starts with Josh somehow missing the pretty obvious opening that the game provides, opting to slam himself into some railing instead. Also, it has Simon failing to jump over a pretty shallow ledge, instead getting stopped in his tracks entirely by it. The Bruise Cruise deathrace in "WE SUCK" starts with Simon accidentally bailing out. In Soccer Physics, both Simon and Josh score bicycle kicks on their own goals. In Simon's quickfire questions challenge, Vik asks him how many apples would be left if he had 7 and 2 were taken away. Simon says 5, which is the correct answer... but JJ still eggs him anyway, and doesn't realize his mathematical fuck-up until a few seconds afterwards. FIFA: In Simon and JJ's red hair-dye FIFA game; Simon was winning 4-1 but decided to score two own goals to level it out, allowing JJ to score the equalizer and then win in penalties. Had Simon just played normally, he would've won without a problem. In a Search and Discard with Simon and JJ, Simon was on the brink of a commandeering victory by sending off JJ's three special players while only losing one of his own. However, JJ asked if he could buy back in by putting one more of his special players up, and an overly-confident Simon agreed. JJ then proceeded to send off Simon's remaining two players in only three guesses and thus win the game. In the 2015 Royal Rumble FIFA 16 series, Ethan created his team under the belief that rare silver players were banned, entering the series with a team of non-rare silvers. Unfortunately for him, they weren't actually banned, and Ethan found himself facing teams filled with rare silvers. Multiple Curb-Stomp Battles ensured, and despite Ethan using what goal points he got to make upgrades, the damage had well and truly been done. Him choosing to add Payet and ManÃ© to his team over Ronaldo didn't help either. In this Cards Against Humanity game, English MC Jme is featured as a special guest...only for him to not score a single point in the whole near-45 minutes of the game. GTA V: In a "Duck Hunt"-styled LTS match in GTA V, we get the runners Ethan and Josh falling to their deaths almost as soon as the round started, and we get sniper Tobi accidentally walking off a platform and smashing his head on a propane tank on the way down. "Dodge the Jet": The first round begins with JJ dying instantly once the jet pilots start circling. The end of the second round: with little time left on the clock, Simon prepares to nosedive his jet into the platform that Vik and Tobi are standing on...only to dive a tad too early and crash into the side of the building mere feet away from them, giving Vik and Tobi the win. In Josh's "Earthquake Jenga" challenge, JJ's strategy of pulling blocks out fast backfires horribly in the final round, where JJ not only doesn't pull the block out, but ends up knocking the tower over from his quick motion. Whenever someone somehow missed their Dead Weight shot during a game of ShellShock Live. In this Monopoly Plus game, Vik is dominating the game thanks to his orange monopoly. In an attempt to "bring himself back in the game", Josh, despite Ethan and Tobi urging him not to, decides to give Vik the yellow monopoly as well in exchange for 800 of his Monopoly money so that he can build houses on his own red monopoly. Vik promptly uses his remaining money to build houses on the yellow monopoly, and Josh - on his very next turn - lands on a yellow property. Josh even realised immediately after Vik accepted the deal that he had actually made things worse, but it was too late.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_c313d43a	comment	True Companions: A huge part of the group's appeal; no matter how much they take the piss out of each other, they're mates at the end of the day. They've even made it clear that even when they make diss tracks against each other, or when four of them were not going to share a house anymore, they're still sticking together making YouTube content. This is also why they've managed to succeed for so long without losing popularity or their friendship; there is no one single leader of the group, so all seven members have equal say in the decision-making for their business. Also, each member is responsible for coming up with a new Sidemen Sunday video, with one member being designated the leader each week, and everyone gets their turn. If a member has been making too many Sidemen Sunday videos at once, then they must wait a while before their next video to give the others a shot, but if they're not pulling their weight and are behind, then they are expected to make up for that deficit. This keeps everything fair and their videos fresh, avoiding the faults that have ruined other YouTube groups (both professionally and personally) that have come and gone over the years.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_c4db6423	comment	Yank the Dog's Chain: Ethan abruptly robbing Simon of his victory on the Crystal Crashers level of Skate 3 in "WE MUST BEAT ETHAN", outdoing his score by a few thousand points. Whenever Skate 3 glitches, which usually causes some unruly intervention with the gameplay. Near the end of "FRESH MEAT" in the Human Confetti level, Josh manages to cannonball over some rocky terrain and all the way into a faraway tunnel. Yet for all his work and effort... he falls 309 points shy of 100,000. In Monopoly Plus, after having a Curb-Stomp Battle the last time he played, JJ gained the pink and brown monopolies through trades. To that point the game had been reasonably even, but after that JJ used all the money he had built up to almost completely exhaust the house limit on the board, and the luck streak returned as he avoided everyone else's monopolies and racked up big earnings from his own. It seemed another Curb-Stomp Battle was set to happen... only for JJ to be disconnected from the game. Ethan in his final Royal Rumble FIFA 16 match against Tobi, having lost every single match he played, makes a goal in the last minutes of the match after narrowly keeping Tobi out for the majority of the time. However, Tobi proceeds to quickly make two goals soon after, robbing Ethan of what could have been his one win in the tournament. Simon suffers a brutal one at the end of this GTA race. After spending the entire race in last place, he suddenly manages to overtake everyone and enter first place while approaching the finish line... only for Ethan to knock him away, causing Simon to finish in last place regardless. In this Monopoly Plus session, Simon seemed poised to win for the first time after earning multiple monopolies and making lots of money. However, a combination of Ethan bankrupting to Josh, continually high rolls and unlucky Chance cards eventually results in Josh winning the game.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: In Simon's "HOW TO MAKE A HORROR FILM" video, we see Vik (playing the dumb cheerleader) running from JJ, who is the killer. We see Vik approach two signs showing "DEATH" and "EXIT", and he chooses the "DEATH" path. A bunch of The Matrix references at the start of Simon's "ENTER THE MATRIX" Q&A. He starts the video by doing the Whip and Nae Nae to "Clubbed to Death". "Neo Simon" comes in and start shooting at him with a Nerf gun, causing Simon to re-enact the famous "bullet dodge". "Neo Simon" gives Simon the choice between a red pill (ends the video) or a blue pill (continues the video). Simon goes for blue. In the aforementioned "ENTER THE MATRIX" Q&A, Simon states that he got his Twitter hashtag ("warm water") from a gag on an episode of New Girl that he saw on a plane (the result of combining fire and ice). In this Trivial Pursuit video with Ethan, Simon, and Josh, Ethan ends up calling Simon Matilda based off of his dorky-looking young girl character. In another game of Pursuit, when Vik manages to correctly identify the South African flag, he proclaims, "THANK YOU, BASED GODS!" Ethan's online handle of Behzinga is a reference to Sheldon Cooper's famous "bazinga" punchline. In one Trivial Pursuit game, all of the Sidemen playing guess the same correct answer, leading Vik to say, "Flawless! I woke up like this.", which is a nod to the BeyoncÃ© song "Flawless". At the 6:55 mark in this Skate 3 video, Simon starts singing 2 Unlimited's "Get Ready for This", famously used in films like Space Jam. In another Skate video, Ethan starts chanting the lyrics to Limp Bizkit's "Rollin" as his character is perpetually doing flips and jumping through the air. While doing a fairly intense game of FIFA 15 with KeanuBoss, Harry states that his hands are sweaty, but then goes on to add "knees weak, arms are heavy". As Josh gets out of his car high in the air at the wind farm in GTA Online as he could not hit Ethan on a platform, a blade from the wind turbine hits him and he gets knocked higher into the air. He laughs and says, "I'm flying! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! I'm falling with style!" This reference is reused in this video on a level with a deliberately rugged terrain to make driving cumbersome. Vik's video of Geoguessr with JJ has JJ quoting the famous chorus to Linkin Park's "In the End". JJ's Running Gag of shouting "MATT DAMON!" comes from Team America: World Police. In Josh's "RACING ON WATER" GTA V video, he randomly began singing "One More Time" by Daft Punk when Vik said that he needed to get past to JJ one more time.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_d308cbb0	comment	Character Catchphrase: Apart from their use of general UK slang, there are a fair amount of unique ones between them. "Got the boost, boys!" — Spoken if any of them gets the head start boost of a GTA race. This phrase is usually spoken in a high pitch. The word "banter" was once frequently used by the Sidemen. Their mispronunciation of the word "swag" as "sweg". Most often spoken as "sweg lines"note referring to the visible slipstream lines in GTA races when a Sideman catches another member's drafts and "swegway".note The nickname given to the Sidemen's self-balancing scooters (the kinds of devices people call "hoverboards"). "Fuckin' X, mate!" — Spoken in a cheeky accent by Ethan and Vik. "X" is usually "Silver Surfer". They later stopped saying this. "He's only gone and done it!" — One of them succeeded in completing a difficult section. Used most often when a Sideman has completed said difficult section rather quickly. "Squad goals!" — Multiple Sidemen are accomplishing/have accomplished something at the same time or (in GTA) happen to have the same colour of another Sideman's vehicle.note There is a glitch in GTA Online where if a racer gets killed by an explosion caused by another racer hitting a propane tank with their vehicle, then the victim's vehicle's colour will change to that of the killer's vehicle's colour when they respawn. This goes away if they respawn again via a different method. "That/This is so AIDS!" — Something bad happened to them. This one got some flak from their followers however due to the serious connotations of the disease, so they've eventually stopped saying this. "(I've got/caught) spawn AIDS!" — One of them is caught in a seemingly infinite loop of bad respawns in a GTA Online race that's causing him to immediately fall down a lot. Like the above, they've stopped saying this as well—not to mention that respawns have gotten better in the game since. "I can't believe you've done this!" — First uttered by JJ after Ethan took him out in a GTA race (here), it quickly and instantly became a meme among the Sidemen during videos. Most likely a reference to this video. "I'm so far last!" — Typical to hear in GTA races from someone complaining about being way behind, usually because of a particular event that completely screwed them over. "The comeback of dreams!" — When one Sidemen begins to mount an impressive comeback after being so far behind in a game. "Download the merch!" — A previous ad slogan for The Merch.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_d397657d	comment	Hoist by His Own Petard: The conclusion of this race. Simon stops at the finish line in first place with a large lead to screw with the others, killing Vik (who was in last place), putting down a mine, then waiting with an RPG. Ethan (in second) runs over the mine, but his exploded car hits and kills Simon as he rushes for the finish. All this allows JJ (in third) to cruise to victory. In Josh's "Earthquake Jenga" video with him, Simon, JJ, and Vik, JJ adapts a strategy of whipping blocks out of the tower quickly once you know you've got a loose one that won't knock the tower over. In the ending of the final round, JJ tries doing that but ends up knocking the tower over from the fast motion, not to mention that he didn't actually pull the block out. All of the other Sidemen begin lampshading this, saying that if JJ had pulled it out gently, he wouldn't have lost.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_e1acc872	comment	From Nobody to Nightmare: Some of the Monopoly Plus sessions have ended in this way, with one Sideman experiencing a surprise luck streak that completely turns the game in their favor. JJ is the most frequent victor, thanks to his sly tactics and ridiculous luck at the game. Vik in one game between himself, Josh, Ethan, and Tobi. At one point in the game, Ethan lands on a property and decides to hold an auction for it that ended in Vik spending all 373 of his Monopoly money for it. However, as the game went on with trades made and rents paid, Vik ended up gaining a whopping four monopolies with two of them having all hotels. This caused the other Sidemen to mortgage their properties to pay the high rents and eventually go bankrupt, making Vik an in-game Corrupt Corporate Executive. It happened again in another game to JJ. Ethan, having initially decided to support JJ in the game, gave him Park Lane,note The UK equivalent of Park Place as he had already bought Mayfair.note The UK equivalent of Boardwalk Thereafter, JJ embarked on an unstoppable luck streak, narrowly skipping the other four Sidemen's monopolies and making even more money thanks to Community Chest and Chance cards. Despite everyone else trading their properties to Josh in an attempt to keep him from winning, JJ ultimately won the game with hotels on all his properties and over 2000 Monopoly money, making it a total Curb-Stomp Battle. JJ almost pulled it off a second time in another session after gaining the pink and brown monopolies through trades. To that point the game had been reasonably even, but after that JJ used all the money he had built up to almost completely exhaust the house limit on the board, and the luck streak returned as he avoided everyone else's monopolies and racked up big earnings from his own. It seemed another Curb-Stomp Battle was set to happen... only for JJ to be disconnected from the game. In another session, Josh looked poised for a comfortable victory after earning the orange monopoly and screwing the others over with hotels. However, JJ and Vik pulled a X Must Not Win plan and traded their properties to Ethan before bankrupting. Ethan wound up with four monopolies as a result, allowing him to quickly and effortlessly overtake and bankrupt Josh. JJ does it yet again in this session. Right off the bat he is constantly given money, allowing him to have more than the others. He gains the light blue monopoly in a trade and uses it to bankrupt Vik, which then gives him the green monopoly. He very quickly bankrupts Josh and Simon thereafter.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_eb7c34cf	type	Crossover
Sidemen (Web Video) / int_eb7c34cf	comment	Crossover: The Sidemen have done many videos with several non-Sidemen YouTubers, usually with associates they personally know primarily from their home country. These include Calfreezy, Callux, JME, Randolph, "The Pack" (a multinational group that Vik is also part of), a few members (current and former) of the Vanoss Crew, Randolph, and more. Not to mention, the Sidemen Charity Matches feature the group and several other YouTubers playing for both Sidemen FC and the YouTube Allstars.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_f237981e	type	The Alleged Car
Sidemen (Web Video) / int_f237981e	comment	The Alleged Car: Vik has been in the butt end of this twice, once in his old VW Scirocco and once in his Aston Martin V8 Vantage. On his VW, as he was returning to the Insomnia 53 after decided to pick up some of their merchandisenote The merchandise, which is Sidemen stickers, was accidentally sent to the wrong address. The house owner of that house turns out wasn't there in that particular day, so it got sent back to the depot, he came across a narrow road and his car clipped the side of the road's curb. He thought it will be OK and kept driving, only for the steering to slowly veer to the left and for the car to begin vibrating, eventually forcing Vik to stop just in front of a bus stop. He later also found out that he somehow punctured the rear-left tire of the car, even though he hit the curb on the front-left. Eventually, JJ, Ethan, Tobi, and Harry came to pick him up. On his Aston, he was going to the gym with JJ, Freezy, and Manny; when he decided to went home earlier compared to the other three so that he could start streaming How to Minecraft. As he inserts the key though, the car receives a command that says, "Key Error". He spends a good hour or so trying to fixing the car before finally giving up, eventually having JJ to drive him back home with JJ's Lambo.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement: As you can see on their image captions on the Characters sheet, almost all of the Sidemen promote deals to get FIFA Ultimate Team coins on the cheap (Vik being the obvious exception, though he has partnered with Lootcrate), and some of them have done promotions and videos for other various companies before. They also wear their own merchandise when they make public appearances.

Sidemen (Web Video) / int_fb3576b2	type	The Dog Bites Back
Sidemen (Web Video) / int_fb3576b2	comment	The Dog Bites Back: In episode 579 of Vik's GTA V Funny Moments, he and JJ end up in a familiar "JJ terrorizes Vik" scenario, with JJ deliberately blocking Vik's path while possessing rockets. However, JJ never actually uses them on Vik, and by stalling too long allows the rockets to respawn, which allows Vik to exact his revenge. In this Dead By Daylight session, Ethan gives one to JJ after JJ baited Ethan to Josh (the murderer) and JJ ignores Ethan's plea to heal him when they found each other after Ethan frees himself from the hook.
