And if so, how? Do you have teenage sons?

I have a 30 year old husband who is obsessed Blush

MerryMarigold · 30/01/2022 20:50

Yes and yes. They were the sidekicks of that guy who now sings as well. He's a clever chap. Gone from playing FIFA to being famous.

notacooldad · 30/01/2022 20:51

Yes and no.

cheerfulpanda · 30/01/2022 20:51

Yes, I would say they are fairly mainstream? No teenage sons.

KSI was on Celeb Bake Off and I remember seeing Vikkstar on The Wheel!

NickiMinajerie · 30/01/2022 20:52

They are youtubers, innit?!
I know, because my kids told me and one sent me this as I like The Wheel.

Orangesquish · 30/01/2022 20:53

Teen DS is obsessed with them. Otherwise I doubt I'd have heard of them.

Clever. Hmm lucky more like.

I still remember him getting chucked out of eurogamer and permanently banned for sexually inappropriate behaviour and of course not forgetting his hilarious ‘rape face’ gag.

CarButtonCloth · 30/01/2022 20:58

Never heard of them. Only have teen girl.

DramaAlpaca · 30/01/2022 20:59

No. I have sons in their 20s. Should I?

SockQueen · 30/01/2022 21:01

Not a clue. Two DSs (5 + 2) and DH who watches quite a bit of YouTube but never mentioned them

TowandaForever · 30/01/2022 21:02

Yes. Have teenage dd.

Fuckitydoodah · 30/01/2022 21:03

Nope, never heard of them.

RedCandyApple · 30/01/2022 21:04

Yes but only because of my teenage nephew

CoutureBakes · 30/01/2022 21:05

Yes and yes

HunkyPunk · 30/01/2022 21:07

Yes, was aware of them when ds (now 17) was a fan years ago, but he seemed to grow out of them. Didn’t know they were still around!

Starlightstarbright1 · 30/01/2022 21:10

Yes Teen Ds loves them... new video released every Sunday.. i get a peaceful evening every Sunday.

BunnyBonking · 30/01/2022 21:20

Yes and no

MrsJBaptiste · 30/01/2022 21:33

Just been watching this week's Sidemen Sunday with DS17 (I'm far too old but find it strangely addictive!) and thought I'd ask the question.

Now watching Celebrity Hunted but really haven't heard of any of these apart from Lisa Maffia back in the day...

Yes.
DS and DD into then and I've bought KSI and SMN merch for them.

Geppili · 30/01/2022 21:52

Yes because I have teenaged sons.

BeQuietBrenda · 30/01/2022 21:54

Yes, my 8 year old is obsessed. My 18 year old sits and watches with him, apparently she used to like them "years ago". God I'm old 😂

Saladd0dger · 30/01/2022 21:56

DD17 has been banging on about them for a couple of years at least. I know they are YouTubers and there merch is a rip off

Sweetpea84 · 30/01/2022 21:59

Yes my DD16 is likes them going to see KSI next month.

MrsAvocet · 30/01/2022 22:04

I was going to say "well they're something like a assistant Churchwardens aren't they?"
I'll get my coat...
(And I do have teenage sons.)

frazzledfragglefromfragglerock · 30/01/2022 22:15

Yes but I have a teenage niece who liked them. By girks not bothered at all!
