10 RUMORS THAT CAUSED MASS PANIC 

The toilet paper shortage was crazy, everyone was fighting over it but I just went to my local corner shop and they were stocked up all the time

i remember being so scared of killer clowns lmao

Harry’s solution to race riots: “just wheel the kid out in a wheelbarrow!” 😂 🤣

Is no one talking about how Tobi perfectly soinded like the mother saying 'NOOO' at 11:22

No one: Literally No one: Harry: "I apologise to the banana industry" 😂😂😂💪

simon and tobi deserved a raise for flaming ryanair like that when i visited england i got there by ryanair and god those seats torment your back…it was a 1 hour flight and it felt like i’d been sitting there for a whole day

Actually the killer clowns was real especially in Minnesota I live on lake superior and there was numerous groups of clowns seen and arrested from numerous places. Cemetery's and schools even church's and in the middle of the woods. They always had some sort of weapon as well from something simple like a blunt baseball bat and as far as machete. Multiple people were kidnapped during this time our missing persons increased by 14% during that time and most of which were children. I know they did hurt quite a few people as well but I don't believe anyone was killed in my area but Minneapolis on the other hand did have murders.

As an Irish guy it's hilarious to see how awkward some of them look when harry says "prehistoric beef"

Ahh, the intro was just stunning...

The joy of RU-vid is that you can create content about anything you feel passionate about, however silly the subject matter.

Being in middle school during the killer clown era was something else

harry: worried about the bidet using the toilet water also harry himself: pees in his bathtub water😂😂

As a former cabin crew member at Ryanair the amount of stories I could tell Simon and Tobi that would make them hate it even more 🙃😂✈️💗 xx

Story time about the clowns- back in 2016 me and my family went up to Sydney to stay for a few days we only lived 1 hour 30 away and we loved it there the first night we got there we got a room and my parents were going to watch the news and that’s when the clowns appeared on the news killing and frightening children, and later that night the hotel we got a text message from the hotel staff saying that 3 clowns were outside the building it terrified us we put cabinets in front of the door in case they could get in and We all hid in our beds till it was over next morning we saw 20 rooms had been broken into 2 of which were the rooms next to us so instead of staying a few days we stayed one day and left that morning

There won't ever be another sidemen. Impossible to find 7+ friends that are hilarious, genuinely get along, don't feel the need to be married so young and don't have kids for 7+ years

Simon and Tobi just slewing Ryan Air while Harry's tryna preserve the potential P's 🤣

The killer clowns were freaky. When that was going on a friend and I were walking to our cars on our college campus-which is surrounded by woods- and we heard a really creepy laugh and saw a clown with a butcher knife come from the woods. It started coming our way so we ran and hit every emergency call button we passed until a college police officer stopped us and had us get into his vehicle while he and another officer confronted the clown. It scared the crap out of us, because the dude was high as hell and had apparently attacked another person before he came on campus

The thumbnail killer clowns brought back so much nostalgia

Okay now , I’m a Sri Lankan and I can remember the grease devil incident and the government did not deploy tanks and no policeman died because of that. It was tactic which was adopted by some thieves to get away quickly if they got caught.

Harry’s hair is moving mad 😂

I want to see you react to something like the most scariest/spine chilling cases

I remember the time when everyone talked about how the world will end in 2012. Good times !!! 😁😁

Something similar to the UK petrol crisis happened here in South Africa a few months ago. A lot of the disadvantaged citizens broke out into a mass riot, started looting all the stores and destroyed infrastructure. For obvious reasons remaining stores and businesses had to shut down temporarily for their own safety, with the exception of a few. With the realization of food scarcity due stock deliveries not being able to get into the affected cities .. people started to panic buy, emptying remaining store shelves and gas stations. It was mayhem. But fortunately it was short lived as things settled back down just over a week later

When Harry said "Water is water" I almost cried 🤣🤣

All I'm saying is, if the world ends it ends you can't do nothing about it, just live your life to the fullest and whoever reading this I hope you have a good day :)

Y2K was not a rumor , it was a legit flaw. The engineers corrected the programming before the time came but it still affected many systems . Because the impact was not massive as the engineers have already sorted it out people dismissed it as a rumor

3:53 Simon and Toby: :O Harry: LMFAO 😂😂

Loved the intro Simon 💯

Anyone here after the petrol problem

Was literally just doing homework about moral panic when this came up in my recommended, cheers boys, cracking video as always :)

Harry is exactly right about the shortage

I love when Tobi does the knife voice. Gets me everytime

i live in newcastle and i was like 9-10 when that killer clown thing was going on, it was no joke in newcastle there was literal clowns outside my primary school with knives to the point they cancelled our halloween disco😂 and there was so many people being chased at night by clowns with knives and saws

Sidemen videos get me through my depression and keep me going

"Run the riddim ruud boi" 😂😂

You’ve seriously just made my night!❤️

appreciate the creator of the video every single part of the compilation was pretty interesting

12:58 Tobi knew he messed up lol

Just want to let everyone know that it's my bday today and the fact that this sidemen reacts was a pure banger, I'll consider that my present 🎁

the y2k crisis failed to materialise because a bunch of programmers globally worked to prevent the problem that night, there are a bunch of them talking about how frustrating it is that their extreme efforts went unrecognised lol

Sidemen is such a great motivation for me on my own RU-vid journey, I am glad I was motivated by this guys

I want to see the sidemen react to short horror videos, kinda like Alter's Other side of the box...

“Run the Rhythm Rudeboy”😂😂😂

the killer clown period was amazing 😂😂😂😂 i remember when everyone on youtube either saw one or was being chased by one

The 2016 clown thing was actually bad in Australia, and some even snuck into high schools through the sewers.

Harry’s sdmn ellese collab jumper is cold

Harry's description about the Petrol shortage at the intro was Gold

these facts are so interesting. I love it!!

love your vids lads

10:10 it was banned in our school we weren’t aloud to say “killer clown” 🤣 bc it scared the kids

“A bit like astrologists over here” is sick

LMAO Harry got flustered and a bit embarrassed 13:26

the killer clown reached to finlanf too lmaooo i remember being so terrified,and my glasses were broken around that time and in finland it was so dark. i was too scared to get to my french classes that i had in in another school man.

If Simon bought Ryanair he would rename it to Simonair

7:15 did he lie though? 😂😂😂

Killer clowns are so scary like jeez I love sideman reacts

I remember seeing “Killer Clowns” spear on the news and every got really scared thinking they were gonna kill them. My sister was legit crying cause of theses things.

Y2K Didn't occur, but it was only due to thousands of hours spent by programmers updating computers to ensure they weren't affected

We've got to the point that people complain when theres no censorship

bro the killer clowns were terrifying. I remember in 2016 i was in primary and it was lunch time one day and there were police outside my primary and ppl in my school were running around at lunch telling ppl there was a killer clown

I remember the clown thing and was exited for the killer clowns and was actually hoping they came

Harry on sidemen reacts is always so funny!!

5:25 2012 world's gonna end rumour is so true 😂 I remember my mother even placed many steels plates and spoons on the corner of things before we were going to sleep on 20th Dec night 😂

"Run the riddim rudeboi" CREASINGGG LMFAOOO

i used to be terrified of the killer clowns. and now i love clowns, how ironic

Sidemen should bring back Sidemen Skits 😁😁

Sidemen should react to how to survive squid game.

Perfect video to start off spoopy month! 🎃 👻

The new sidemen clothing collab is fireeee

Harry is just incredibly handsome and funny. By far my top favorite sidemen

I was in College (university) when the clown stuff happened. And me and all my roommates got our pistols and didn’t leave the apartment after dark for about a week lol

Remember the whole 2012 thing. I was 12 years old and in grade 6, and just ended up forgetting all about it in the end, and it got to 2013 and my friends and family would always say "well we're still here". The clown thing felt like only yesterday. Remember the clown incidens where everyone dressed up in clown costumes scaring people? can't remember if it happened in 2018 or 2019. Remember here in Australia people were doing it, wearing clown costumes, people filming them chasing peoples cars just to scare them. Was a weird time. Thankfully I never encountered them, but was a bit scared that these people were psychopaths or something.

Intro is gold

2:03 Harry now actually has a private jet.

Simon: "Isn't the world meant to end like every four years or something like that?" Me: "Yes. The World Cup does end the world for most of the world."

I remember the days when the "grease devil's" mass hysteria began, we couldn't even leave our houses after 7pm😩

That was Hilarious the Banana rumor and SARS! Guess it was a good price to buy lots of banana at that time and make banana breads!

The clowns weren't a rumour, or at least started but became an issue at the time, I remember one chasing me and my friends after football nearer to Halloween 2016

The fact Tobi and Simon hate Ryan Air makes me appreciate them even more.

congrats mates, you guys made a 10 min vid into a 15 min one, GG...

I agree with Toby with the messages from the aunties, they're too much 😅🤣

I'm surprised the MOMO rumour wasn't in this video bc that was mental lol

Nigeria here and man JUJU Called Jazz here is as real as it gets.

Yes the killer clowns started as a joke but it did end in a lot of bad situations and violence

For some reason that I can’t explain I find it crazy that even in the infancy of social media in 2013, in comparison to the evolved social media available in 2023, it was still possible for a single message containing a rumour to cause a global crisis that saw an industry go from hero to zero in an instant as Chinese banana firms went bankrupt, all because a rumour was spread using simplistic technology

Sidemen reacts to long beach griffy would be a banger.

yall gotta do a sidemen haunted house :)

The Y2K bug was absolutely a real problem, the reason nothing bad happened is because people prevented anything from happening. Imagine an asteroid headed for earth, people panic, somehow we manage to destroy it and save humanity and then people are all like “what was all the fuss about then? Nothing bad happened.”

"And all the aunties that send them"- well said Tobi 😂

10:47 the way Simon and Tobi both are like wtf is hilarious

Dogs back legs couldnt move the other day and because of the mass panic we had no fuel to take him to the vet and the nearby gas station was completely out, thankfully we managed to get someone to bring us some and rebook for a few hours later. Lads chill out with the petrol 💀

you can tell harry was pissed at his hair😂

I remember being driven home from high school during the killer clown situation and saw one standing on a street corner with a knife. It terrified me

Harry is a different breed 😂😂😂

This is the best reaction trio in the sidemen.

harry loves a "run da riddim rude boi" 🤣

i genuinely saw two people proper fighting over the toilet paper.

No one: American: What’s pechrol?

Thanks kinda weird to me how a couple months ago in America there was a “gas shortage” and it happened the exact same way y’all were talking about.

Omg the Mayan calendar I remember that
