SIDEMEN HOW FAR CAN YOU GET (ROAD TRIP EDITION)

Video summary

Press to jump

0:00Three pairs start at The Three Horseshoes, completing scratch-off tasks to earn driving miles.
5:32Ethan and Vik photograph Eynsford Castle for the task requiring an object more than 500 years old.
8:31A garden-center stop supplies Ethan and Vik with a large plush passenger and extra mileage.
9:22Josh and Simon ask a stranger outside Morrisons to write their challenge shopping list.
16:44Ethan and Vik visit Faith to complete the task requiring someone with a substantial social-media audience.

A large plush toy gets a seat in Ethan and Vik's car, and earns them more driving distance than a castle visit. That is the peculiar travel logic of "SIDEMEN HOW FAR CAN YOU GET (ROAD TRIP EDITION)": sightseeing is useful, but only if it pays in miles.

The Sunday upload pairs Ethan with Vik, Harry with Tobi, and Josh with Simon. Scratch-off tasks determine how much farther each team can travel, while getting out of the car resets their mileage pool. Ethan and Vik photograph Eynsford Castle, buy their soft passenger at a garden center, then visit Faith to complete a task requiring someone with a substantial social-media audience. Josh and Simon take a different kind of shopping assignment, asking a stranger outside Morrisons to dictate their list.

The video has passed four million views and is comfortably the channel's busiest upload right now. In the comments, the pairings have become a subject of their own: viewers discuss Ethan and Vik's chemistry, the contrast between their generous mileage rewards and difficulty stopping to eat, and road trips becoming a Sidemen tradition. There are also requests for another Taskmaster installment.

Across the channel, the week brought nearly ten million views, with subscribers unchanged. Daily viewing is currently well below its usual level. KSI's separate channel added subscribers this week, while Zerkaa's remained steady.

The Sidemen's current viewing has a distinctly automotive streak: "SIDEMEN £2,000 CAR CHALLENGE" and "We Invited 20 YouTubers on the Ultimate Party Bus" follow the new road trip among the uploads drawing the most views each day.
