Video summary
Press to jump
- 0:29Josh chooses the YouTuber category, and the trio begin bidding for their line-ups.
- 3:47Josh commits most of his budget to PewDiePie.
- 5:02An unexpected trivia feature gives Tobi a chance to steal Josh's prized pick.
- 8:01Tobi switches the game to holidays, bringing travel companions and accommodation into the auction.
- 14:42The final accommodation choice completes Josh's holiday; the reveal comes here.
Josh spends most of his pretend budget securing PewDiePie, only for Tobi to answer a trivia question and take him away. The money comes back. The satisfaction of winning the auction does not.
That reversal is the wrinkle in "SIDEMEN FIGHT TO BUILD $20 DRAFT (GONE WRONG)", which drew about 450,000 views since yesterday on SidemenReacts. Rather than simply watching a compilation, Simon, Tobi and Josh are playing an auction-style game, assembling their choices from categories including YouTubers and holidays.
The trivia interruption wasn't supposed to happen. An on-screen message explains that an incomplete feature, still containing easy placeholder questions, accidentally made it into the game. Answer correctly and someone else's carefully budgeted purchase can become yours. Later, Simon uses another question to take Josh's beachfront villa for free.
The opening category also gives viewers something to debate beyond the rules. MatPat and Good Mythical Morning feature in Josh's line-up, and both names recur in comments questioning the trio's valuations. Elsewhere, viewers point each other towards Tobi's laughter and the increasingly awkward holiday Josh is assembling.
That second draft makes the consequences easier to picture than a roster of famous creators. Josh collects his parents, his partner and the Sidemen, then ends up putting the whole party in a hostel. Several commenters are already asking for that imaginary group holiday to become an actual video.
