Recurring Jokes

Certain members of the Sidemen are regular 'victims' of banterous remarks and jokes from the rest of the group. Most of them are very specific and focus on a particular characteristic/trait of that member's personality.

Zerkaa

 * Daddy - In reference to Josh being the oldest Sideman, as well as the fact that he has a beard and appears the most responsible, he is often referred to as the "dad" or "daddy" of the group. This remark is more so used by the fans and followers of the Sidemen but is often picked up on from the members, especially by Simon.
 * Age - The others joke about him being old and having grey hair.
 * Racism - Josh has made many racist remarks over the years, which the others have been shocked at, and joke about quite a bit.
 * Tourette's - Due to the outrageous things Josh has said, especially during gameplay videos, the original fan joke that Josh has Tourette's Syndrome was joked about by the guys several times.
 * Late - On the "Sidemen Escape Room" video, Josh overslept a considerable amount, leading him to sprint to filming as fast as he could, arriving some time after the others were already performing the escape rooms. Because of this, the members have said the lateness "crown" now goes to Josh due to how late he ended up being. They have joked about this a lot during Quarantine.

Miniminter

 * Height - Often called extremely lanky by other members of the group.


 * Blunt - Simon, due to often being blunt, has caused jokes about him being a prick, especially in text messages.


 * Femininity - Along with Harry, thanks to the James Charles make up video, Simon has been called "the closest to a girl out of the Sidemen" more than once.

TBJZL

 * Ghosting - Tobi is the most private of the Sidemen, and often disappears, causing the members to make fun of the fact he always "ghosts". This has apparently been a common thing since school, according to Josh.
 * Nose - Although not a common joke amongst the Sidemen, their fans, and other YouTubers make many jokes about Tobi's big nose. Deji called him the ‘black pinocchio’ in “Deji - Sidemen Diss Track (Official Music Video)”.
 * Privacy - Being the most private of the Sidemen has caused a lot of questions and jokes, especially about Tobi's relationships and his virginity, to surface, especially recently.

KSI

 * Rapping - KSI was made fun of for rapping in past years, as well as it being said that he wasn't a real rapper, and that his "bars" were weak. His hair and bizarre fashion style were also insulted regularly. These jokes have slowed since the release of his first studio album.
 * Bulking - After his fight with Logan Paul, KSI has put on an enormous amount of weight and was weighed at 99.9kg during the Sidemen Strength Challenge (2019). He would defend himself by saying he was bulking, interestingly this joke originated from his reddit page r/ksi.
 * Forehead - As he is rarely seen without his bandana, the members often joked about his large forehead and receding hairline.
 * Intelligence - JJ has been teased for his lack of intelligence, especially when it comes to reading.
 * Voice cracks - JJ often has voice cracks that are mimicked by the other members.
 * KSIMON - The fictional relationship between KSI and Miniminter which is often joked about by fans and members too.

Behzinga

 * Weight - Until 2018, Ethan was overweight. His weight was regularly poked fun at by the Sidemen. Since losing weight, he has become very much obsessed with posting pictures of his now-muscular body. The Sidemen, especially KSI, make fun of this too.
 * Nigerian - After finding out that his ancestry is 1.1% Nigerian, it is now a joke that Ethan is Nigerian and is part of the "Three Nigerians" along with JJ and Tobi.
 * Alissa Violet - Since Ethan's crush on Alissa Violet has gained more attention, he is subjected to a lot of jokes about doing things in order to get with her, and being called a 'simp' by the fans and the Sidemen, most notably Josh.
 * Father - The fact that Ethan's dad left him is brought up many times, mostly by the Sidemen, and almost more by the fans. Ethan has also joked about this.

Vikkstar123

 * Paedophilia - Vik, due to being a Minecraft YouTuber away from the Sidemen, was accused of being attracted to children. This is because his Minecraft gaming community and channel followers are perceived to be children under the age of 12, however this is untrue.
 * Indian - He is often edited to be dancing along to the song Mundian To Bach Ke.
 * Abuse - #StopVikAbuse has been referenced for years, due to the treatment Vik has received by the others. Jokes have been made too many times to accurately count, and Vik has said it used to bother him, but now it helps him not care what people think. He also joins in with the joke now.
 * Intelligence - Due to Vik supposedly being "The most intelligent Sidemen", jokes between the other Sidemen have been made if Vik messes up a quiz question, or makes an odd remark.
 * Eyebrows - Vik’s thick eyebrows were mentioned in Deji’s Sidemen Diss and were often joked about in videos.

W2S

 * Incest - Harry has always been jokingly accused of coming from an inbred family. Comments are also made about his incestuous relationship with his "sister". These accusations originate from the common Guernsey stereotype. Harry is obviously thought to have been born into a normal, non-incestuous family.
 * Racism - Members of the Sidemen and online associates of theirs often call Harry racist. This is mostly attributed to the racist remarks Harry has made over the years.
 * Breaking Chairs - Harry, in many of his videos, would end up getting mad, resulting in screaming and throwing (and breaking) chairs. He has broken over 14 chairs.
 * Drugs - Due to Harry wearing bucket hats often and videos of him at festivals circulating around, the Sidemen members and fanbase mock him for consuming drugs, especially ketamine. KSI's "Little Boy" diss track brought the jokes to a new level. Although Harry has made several jokes himself, he has said multiple times he does not actually take drugs.
 * Sexuality - Harry has stated a few times that he does not know or was unsure of his sexuality, earning gay jokes and bisexual jokes, especially recently.
 * Weight - After making fun of Ethan and JJ for their weight, Harry has now taken the brunt of the fat jokes, especially during the "Sidemen gain the most weight in 24 hours" video.
 * Drinking - Harry has been made fun of, especially following the Road Trip Holiday video, for his alcoholism and several acts of idiocy he has done due to being drunk. Vik has pointed out that "The more Harry drinks, the more he wants to drink" in the "Sidemen Play the Bad People Game" on MoreSidemen. Harry has joked himself that sometimes he drinks too much.
 * Uploading - Harry is known for not uploading for months on end, which has become a constant joke amongst the fans and members alike.
