4:14Ethan and Tobi face the Movies & TV round.
6:45Josh and Vik tackle music artists, bringing back the memory of Vik's Kendrick Lamar mistake.

"No, no Kendrick, no!" Vik protests as MoreSidemen's Beat the Clock reaches its music round. An earlier failure to recognize Kendrick Lamar has followed him into another quiz, and now he has a timer to contend with too.

The studio game has drawn roughly 684,000 views since yesterday. Simon hosts, with Ethan, Josh and guest Jack on one side, and Tobi, Harry and Vik on the other. The assignment sounds straightforward: identify what's in front of you before the clock runs down. Remembering a familiar name on demand proves rather less straightforward.

Food comes first, with Jack getting stuck on an artichoke. Television then leaves Ethan searching for Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Bear. By the time Josh stalls on Lewis Capaldi and Vik struggles with 21 Savage, the music round has become a particularly uncomfortable test of recognition. Simon offers the latter a clue: "He likes to repeat the numbers in his name."

The format then switches from individual turns to alternating team trivia. Even the coffee shop in Friends and the most common letter in the English alphabet become obstacles when answering quickly matters as much as knowing.

Beneath the video, viewers revisit Vik's earlier Kendrick mishap, while another recurring suggestion is that Ethan should try guesses rather than let the seconds disappear. The closing featured round raises the stakes with double points for musicians, sending the teams searching for names including A Boogie wit da Hoodie and Doja Cat.
