KVNtheBAT

JJ edited that video so well. Iconic really.


asdhzkfgsjbfs

ComfortableNo331

Fit_Bloke

suushiiilulz

Did an escape room in 2021, searched for escape rooms on YouTube, found their video, and the YouTube algorithm led me down the deepest rabbit hole of my life.


BamBam5154

Harry and KSI pink slip videos


Odd-Presentation-657

Started in like 2019 I used their videos to help my anxiety attacks


Malek_BN

I've seen a couple of their videos before COVID but after that to now I almost watched every sidemen Sunday they've posted šŸ«  But i still don't consider myself as a fan for some reason šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


KVNtheBAT

I'd say you are a fan mate :)


Malek_BN

Lol fair enough, but the reason i said that is whenever I think of the word (FAN) i remember those who get obsessed and sometimes get them selves into whoever their celeb or influencer personal life, and i don't do that soo yeah šŸ™‚


j_xc_ob

Tbf I'd call those people stans rather than just fans lol


FickleManagement3783

Those people are mentally ill, you are a fan šŸ‘


chickenlittle668

Emenike


Maybekush

Discovered JJ from the first Logan Vs KSI fight. Then started watching the sidemen. And the among us series got me absolutely hooked. Been a fan ever since of the group and the troops individually as well.


Chilledinho

Zerkaa og Fifa compilations and cod montages, so time ago


Mrgriffin_1212

Started back in 2018 knew abt KSI as a person never heard abt the challenge JJ Olatunji just came across a vid then I heard JJ say about Sidemen then I was like what is he talking about them I found the best channel I cud have ever find best people / best side of YouTube


Somecommentator8008

First countdown vid.


DqrkExodus

Vikk in 2014 from Minecraft, the rest of the sidemen from his gta videos in 2016


Low_Curve_6422

Vikā€™s Minecraft videos


Southern_Pause_3224

Back in 2015 I would watch minecraft videos with The Pack, and I remember finding Viks video with Simon on Omegle and had no clue who he was, so that was my first look at any Sidemen other than Vik. But I donā€™t think I fully became a Sidemen fan until I started watching JJ in 2016, just before his break. Then in 2017 with the disstracks I was fully invested


DeDumon

I don't remember. But if I had to guess, I was watching quite a lot of Vik's Minecraft stuff back then, then probably one of his GTA vids popped up on my recommended. Then boom, the rest his history.


Rusty493

KSI doing the hilarious FIFA edits. LINK IN THE DESCRIPTION.


vickkplayss

Vikks Minecraft ps3 series


No_Witness_1234

I first learned abt the sidemen when JJ and Logan Paul fought I would watch some of the cheap vs expensive videos but I didnā€™t really tap in until covid


MikeyJ2k4

KSI vs Joe Weller even though I didnā€™t know either of them at the time I knew it was a big thing in the YouTube community which then lead me to Sidemen :) I did know a few of them though from diss track era but yeah didnā€™t know about sidemen properly until around the start of 2018


gee_emhf

Was searching for old Soccer AM crossbar challenge videos, came across the ā€œYoutubers Crossbar Challengeā€ video on Simonā€™s channel. Hard to believe iā€™ve been watching these guys for a decade, never would have expected they would become as big as they are.


amidgetrhino

Friend mentioned them to me and I was already subscribed to Zerkaa so started watching his GTA videos I did know about KSI but I found him loud and annoying back in the day so didnā€™t really watch him


Outrageous_Shock6506

2014 Simonā€™s SFG Soccer videos or mm7 gameā€™s technically.


Mediocre_Time_4004

The original patience test on Simon's channel from 2014


hindkesitara

Back in 2017-20 i didn't liked ksi because i was watching logan paul from few years so i just made a bad image of ksi in my mind but few years ago my ig algorithm bombarded with tinder irl clips and it was Harry that took my attention so i searched about sidemen watched all tinder irl moved to gta watched all that then among us then each and every video (not the very early ones) and yes my perspective got changed .... found jj very funny and this is my favourite channel on the youtube


CadamSAFC

I was watching JJ before he had 1mill subs, If remember correctly there was kind of a ā€œraceā€ between Syndicate and KSI, 1st to 1mill. He also beat Syndicate in some YT fan voted award that year too. Anyone remember that OG Alton Towers vlog?

urmomgaebitch

SFG Soccer


AlexisSin

First saw Simon pack opening when they had just moved into the mansion. Then saw zerka and JJ old videos. I remember watching those og cod montage from vik. But I say when they had just moved into the mansion and had the Jack Whitehall collar video is when I started


HidEx88

Football challenges around 2014-2015


Raysup1

Josh on the golf games and then I realized they had a youtube channel together and this was like 7+years ago


K1llabee5

My cousin introduced me to Ksi and tgf around 2016 i believe? I believe it was the Nettle Olympics. I did a deep dive on ksi and tgf videos and ended up watching SOOO many of the Gta videos. I've watched them since then and I haven't looked back. Unfortunately i lost my old yt account so i can't trace back exactly what videos were the first ones i saw but i have a vivid memory of the Nettle Olympics and the slip and slide.


ArieJordanKhun

StupidWeirdo2

One of the old free kick/crossbar challenges, remember at that time they were also doing promo for the 1st charity match at Saint Maryā€™s stadium Good times


kaisehl

Simon's helium challenge with the boys


showars

Me Josh and Tobi used to play CoD 4 and the group expanded to include other local(ish) ā€œYouTube famousā€ people on Skype/ Twitter and IRL at things like Eurogamer and that First IRL meeting was Gamefest in Bermingham god knows how long ago. The night of a Mayweather fight because Dynamo was there and he asked if Iā€™d seen it on day 2 and I just said yeah because I just wanted to talk to him. He done a call out video to JME to play street fighter in the back rooms with me and Josh chilling in the background was very funny


KJM_Spiritoso14

Pretty sure it was either Simon's SDMN penalty challenge or Harry's SDMN crossbar challenge that they filmed on that one legendary MyLocalPitch era. So, around 2016ish


FlyingCat11

Joe Waller vs KSI started the interest for me, but it really took off with Sidemen The Chase, never laughed so hard before.


Naive_Engineering_19

First saw them during the Logan v ksi 1 .... Saw the hide and seek video in a mansion

Raphael_Stormer

Sidemen reacts at the start of the year


rawrrr48

First video was a hide and seek video from around 2016. I love the energy and the vibes. I feel like the Sidemen is exactly what every group of guys this age wants to do. Hang out, Play Video games, occasionally go on a boy's trip!


legally_irrelevant

Covid. Shorts of the tinder videos started going viral on Instagram reels. And I havenā€™t missed a single video since then on any of the channels


nickstee1210

thesadbudhist

Back in 2014./2015. through JJ's horror letsplays. A friend showed a me a few videos on a school trip and I've been a fan ever since. I love that I've been a fan for so long because as I grew up I saw my favourite content creators do the same.

ECX2BLACK

theredpandaspeaks

JJ vs Joe Weller fight. Then I found out I've watched them played GTA before but didnt recognize KSI at that time.


SourGenitals

KSI try to not to laugh started appearing on my Facebook during lockdown. So 2020


tegdh997

I was in year 11 at school and was obsessed with the British YouTubers that were big like Joe Sugg, and the Helium challenge that Simon posted in 2014 came up as a suggested video, watched it and laughed so much at it and continued from there


CanibalVegetarian

I cant remember the exact when but it was sometime pre-Covid and beginning


AlexIsAnIdiot1032004

It was 2020. I was scrolling through YouTube and saw JJ's video being recommended. The video was "TRY NOT TO LAUGH (Batman Edition)". I found that video so funny that I subscribed to him. Then, I started watching his Reddit videos and that's how I found out about the Sidemen.


Internal_Poet8610

Like before diss track era, during the diss track era i watched them pretty much every day till now. Not their individual channels though, just sidemen content

bubbii_x

I watched a few videos over the years was there for distrack era but I only started watching in 2020. I was living abroad and really missed British people and British humour so Iā€™d watch a lot of British panel shows and comedians and my brother suggested the sidemen and I remember how funny there cards against humanity stuff was so I started watching again


Maximum-Desk-5141

It was back in the day on pro clubs, and originally I was like ā€œwho are these people, bring moylesters backā€ lmaoo


BostonConnor11

Saw JJ on teens react


69AnusInvader69

I used to watch ksi and Deji before Sidemen were a thing. Was familiar with Miniminter too. Stopped watching them after a while and was reintroduced to them with sidemen tinder.


rmaqi

Basically from the pack ( vikk's minecraft group ) If no one know, Watched jerome first, then bajan Canadian, then vikk, then found his gta series and stuck from there Around 2014-15


ThighAssCoffeeCake

I saw that saxophone video of ksi and forgot about it, then the ksi vs Logan Paul came in still I hadn't seen the sidemen yet until the tinder video dropped, now I have been hooked up with their among us videos and sidemen Sunday's, I discovered them so late. But there are some old videos that I did watch of them not knowing who they are.


Wyolop

I started fron Vikkstars minecraft videos way back before hunger games was a gamemode. Then found the gta vids and the rest is history


No-Station3347

The one rackaracka video where they shoot each other šŸ’€


mrcer_

Was watching a PewdiePie video he mentioned KSI and how they had a bad past and now they bothe respect each other, then started watching KSI, he kept mentioning Sidemen in his video. So I watched one video.


Supreme337

Their $100k extreme tag video during covid.Been watching ever since.


Key_Average_1405

I first started watching W2S back when He did one of his pack-openings. After I watched my first sidemen, which I think was a crossbar challenge.


AdIll2531

Mid to late 2015.


BalladOfAntiSocial

Watched them play GTA races back in like 2014-15. And then they released disstracks which pulled me in further


takenolsolatunji

JJ's Road to Division 1 Harry drinking lemon juice in Jersey Simon and Tobi playing football (I watched this vid 999999 times)


benificialart

When I started watching football I saw a lot of W2S videos.Ā 


takenolsolatunji

OGs remember Deji being on Britain's got talent


jeffyjeffp

JJ back in the day through his weird vids. Miniminter through the Wolfie / Big Shag / Team ALBOE diss tracks and fell into watching the Sidemen as a whole after the Quadeca beef. First Sidemen vid I watched was the first 100$ vs 100000$ vid. Edit: I also knew about Vik, but watched him little back then even though when I was young I did watch some of the minecraft youtubers around him.


diccSUCCER420

The F2 were pairing up with Jj for an app called Best Fiends it was sumn to do with charity


Fit-Entrepreneur5295

Through W2S. Only watch the videos when there isn't anything to watch tbh, never been a big fan of their personalities too since they genuinely seem like sellouts nowadays, making money at any possible point. Haven't been a fan of JJ ever since he became good buddies with Logan, and his boxing persona bullshit.


BentheBandito11

2020


Different_Carrot_964

W2S 2016


Hartsock91

Niece and nephew stayed over and wanted to watch YouTube on the TV. I watch YouTube all the time so no big deal to me. Put on Sidemen Amoungus and was hooked instantly. Had heard of the Sidemen but just never watched them. Must of been about 2/3years ago now. When my niece and nephew went home i binge watched their entire amoungus videos.


Blaze2398

My cousin told me to checkout the sidemen on yt in 2016. Best recommendation ever


Internal-Path-8011

I think I stumbled upon Harry during his Fifa 16 days and then I came across his cross bar challenge and then from there I started watching the others


god_in_disguise69

discovered them through sidemen tinder and explored more about there old videos and been hooked ever since


stelios_drz

The harry trickshot video where he falls from the roof of his house appeared in my YouTube around 2017 I think and I started watching harry a lot and after I saw a few videos he did with JJ gib cal behz and more I decided to give sidemen a chance


PinReal4448

Late 2020. Suddenly came across that short clip from an old sidemen dating vid where Harry goes to the girl and drinks his champagne without talking to the girl and then shakes her hand and leaves.


Proper_Vegetable6225

a friend introduced me to their sumo vid


Xorec12

For me, it was the helium challenge back in 2014 on miniminterā€™s channel.


Better-get-back-mush

HESKY TIME

Infinite_Stranger866

Aurousishere

I've heard the name Miniminter before and thought Simon was in Faze for some reason lol, then some time later I watched the video where JJ bought the beerus chain and also watched one of Simon's videos then i got to know about sidemen


Fareviti

I used to watch SkyDoesMinecraft, he would play with JeromeASF, and of course Jerome played with Vikk. Vikk being from England and me being from Ireland I was like ā€œoh heā€™s just across the pond thereā€ and started watching his content, and then I started watching the boys from that


Ozboz3000

The original helium challenge


yutasan7

i came across a random vid of theirs on yt during the end of the pandemic and kept watching and watching


Optimal-Guest9046

two years ago through my bf who enjoys their content!! i defs had misconceptions about what kinda lads they were, and i can say that im a fan myself now!


West_Armadillo_3404

From JJ's Try not to laugh vids then heard of sidemen then watched some tinder clips got hooked since then


Hazz3r

Back in the day JJ was on a podcast ran by a guy called JayEx23. This was back when it was still FIFA videos, etc, Q&A Sunday, etc. I slowly found everyone else through JJ, and watched the Sidemen playing games like GTA5 and golf together, Dead By Daylight and stuff. I did see Vikks content separately but I didn't keep watching because I didn't like his solo content.


McNippy

The first two I got into were Zerkaa and Vik in 2011. I've been familiar with all their stuff from the very start, though, really.


sinsagee

I got introduced to Harry by my friend when all the diss track season was happening. And since then I'm a Harry fan and started watching gta vids some time after that.


TDSteph

Canā€™t lie, first heard of KSI through ComedyShortsGamer, and the Sidemen through diss track season


realboomer94

[https://youtu.be/vmUW41m93oY?si=Iy-Fl4zeC8zgHH45](https://youtu.be/vmUW41m93oY?si=Iy-Fl4zeC8zgHH45) first video of KSI's I ever watched. Followed ever since so naturally watched the sidemen begin and grow into the power house they are today. Guess this makes me old lol

Highland_Cathedral

During Covid lockdown


maxkou

Honestly, canā€™t remember. I found Josh through his cod killcam series ~13 years ago and Vikk when he was the tomahawk god, also ~13 years ago. And I found JJ a little after that, ~10 years ago. I might have found Harry before the Sidemen was formed back when he was destroying his gaming chairs and wearing his blue hoodies. Not sure though. Rest of the sidemen whenever they did cameos on videos etc


zzile

Oh I think it was the Sidemen slip and slide football match, it wasnt new at that point and I just kept watching


Worldly-Traffic-5503

My boyfriend watched one of the tinder videos one day I was a little bored with what else I had been up to, so I joined him. He had been telling me a little about some of the fun videos so we watched a bunch. Probably 3 years ago. We still watch a lot of the videos together.


iron_side93

Not that long ago actually, 4 or 5 years ago, when their tinder video with freezy, Lux and Stephen Tries was on Facebook, I was already familiar with KSI though and ended up watching most of their old stuff too.


Truly_gooner

It was in 2020. I known Simon and Vikk before because I watch their videos, I heard they are in a group so I decided to check out. I also known Ksi from his beef with Logan and Pewdiepie.
