  1. 0:00Simon introduces the quiz and asks teams to submit names for a hat draw.
  2. 4:34Actors silently recreate viral videos for the opening YouTube-history round; the answers follow at 08:16.
  3. 10:22The A or B round introduces subject choices and a last-to-react drinking penalty.
  4. 12:00Randolph chooses between MrBeast and Mister Maker before facing his question.
  5. 14:04Ethan's choice pairs Sidemen Sundays with Sunday Roast, leading to a question about dinner favourites.

Recognising a viral clip is one thing. Recognising it when actors recreate it without saying a word is the Sidemen's opening test in "SIDEMEN YOUTUBER PUB QUIZ".

Simon, better known as Miniminter, hosts the gathering, with Harry, Vik, Ethan, Josh and Tobi joined by guests including Faith, Jme, ChrisMD, Pieface, Theo Baker, Randolph and Danny Aarons. The Sunday upload has drawn around 1.2 million views in nine hours.

After last Sunday's mansion escape, this is a more seated kind of challenge, though knowing the answers is only part of the assignment. Teams submit names into a hat before drawing their identities, and Simon introduces a drinking penalty for whoever is last to put their hands on their head.

The opening YouTube-history round turns familiar internet moments into stage performances. A Rickroll and Dream's face reveal are among the references contestants must identify. It is a quiz built for people whose memories contain rather more online videos than capital cities.

Then comes "A or B", where a choice of subjects can be its own trap. Randolph picks MrBeast over Mister Maker, only to stumble when asked to name members of the Beast Gang. Ethan gets the rather more comforting choice between Sidemen Sundays and Sunday Roast. His answer to the nation's favourite roast-dinner component: potatoes.

Beneath the video, viewers are discussing Faith's return, missing regular guest BambinoBecky and Ethan's "faith's husband" T-shirt. Even away from the answer sheets, there are details for the regulars to pick up.
