KidWatch › Channel Safety › SidequestParty
This is a college-friend hangout channel that swears constantly and makes adult jokes — your kids don't need to be in that room.
Best for ages 16+
SidequestParty is a group of adult friends playing co-op video games together, mostly Nintendo titles. The vibe is genuine and the friendships feel real, which is actually part of the appeal. But this is clearly a channel made by adults for adults. The humor runs crude pretty quickly, and the language is consistent throughout.

KidWatch Assessment
SidequestParty is a group of adult friends playing co-op video games together, mostly Nintendo titles. The vibe is genuine and the friendships feel real, which is actually part of the appeal. But this is clearly a channel made by adults for adults. The humor runs crude pretty quickly, and the language is consistent throughout.
Swearing is frequent and casual, not occasional slip-ups. The group drops f-bombs, s-words, and other profanity without much hesitation, and sexual jokes come up regularly. None of it feels mean-spirited, but it's not something you'd want younger kids absorbing as normal conversation either.
On the positive side, there's no real violence, no dangerous stunts, and the games themselves are pretty wholesome. The creators are clearly having fun, they're honest about being a small channel, and there's genuine camaraderie here. But the content wrapping around those games? Solidly adult.
Flagged Moments from Top Videos
The group makes repeated, extended jokes comparing an in-game acorn tree to male genitalia. It goes on for a while and involves multiple participants, making it feel like a recurring bit rather than a one-off slip.
The host openly warns that the language will 'toe the line of demonetization,' which is essentially a heads-up that profanity is a regular feature of the channel, not an accident.
A joke comparing Bowser's minions arriving at a birthday party to 'the worst strippers I've ever seen' comes up casually mid-playthrough with no acknowledgment that younger viewers might be watching.
Profanity is woven throughout the commentary in a natural, unconcealed way, including during otherwise lighthearted gameplay moments.
An f-word appears uncensored in the transcript during gameplay, and other strong language is scattered throughout what is otherwise a cheerful group playthrough.
A player casually mentions that a co-op game was essentially what led to him sleeping with his now-wife before they were dating, framed as a funny anecdote with no filter.
Profanity appears multiple times during gameplay commentary, including references to violence in the game delivered with strong language.
A team name that is a crude sexual reference gets used on screen and repeated by the group, played for laughs during what is otherwise a chaotic party game session.
The group apologizes to their editor for language that needs to be edited out, signaling that even the final cut contains content that was considered too much in raw form.
What Parents Should Know
Skip this channel entirely for kids under 14 or 15 — the language and adult humor are consistent enough that there's no safe way to cherry-pick episodes.
Watch an episode yourself first if your teen is already into it, because the game content looks kid-friendly on the surface but the commentary is a different story.
Talk to older teens about the difference between how friends talk in private versus what gets normalized when it's packaged as entertainment they watch daily.
Know that subscribe-begging appears frequently throughout videos, so if your kid picks up that habit online, this style of channel is likely part of the influence.
Check whether your teen is watching this as background noise during homework, since the language is casual enough that it can just become ambient without them even registering it.
Recommended for ages 16+.
