Trivia / Dude Perfect

• Creator Backlash: The final Overtime of 2020 (Overtime 23, to be specific) featured a Not Top 10 segment, where the group ranked the 10 worst videos they'd ever done, three of which they'd unlisted, they were so embarrassed by them.
  • Those ten video are listed in order from 10 to 1 (the unlisted videos, which, as of December 2021, are once again hidden, are listed in bold.):
    • #10 - 500 Foot Moving Goal Shot from Reunion Tower - Released December 30, 2013, and placed on the list because of Tyler's embarrassment that Cody and Garrett were literally carrying a basketball goal (just the backboard and hoop, mind you) to catch the basketball.
    • #9 - Editor Edition 2 - Released August 12, 2019, and placed on the list because, according to Tyler, "nobody is above the team." Even though he did love the scene where Tim, Chad, and Will had to get the Internet working again in order for a DP video to be uploaded.
    • #8 - Red Cards in Rio Prank - Released June 23, 2014 while the guys were in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup. Placed on the list by Tyler because of his embarrassment over the part where they force men in speedos on Copacabana Beach to put on shorts.
    • #7 - Kayaking Down an Escalator - Released December 2, 2013, and placed on the list by Tyler because of the awkward intro, particularly what they had special guest Ryan Tannehill say. It should be noted that the twins were absent for this one.
    • #6 - George Bush Library Edition - Released February 5, 2011. Placed on the list because the trick shots weren't up to the guys' standards (and Cody didn't like the venue). The intro features Barbara Bush herself.
    • #5 - Trick Squirts - Released June 26, 2012. An advertisement for MiO (specifically for the Canadian market), a liquid beverage mix that serves as an additive to give water a certain type of flavor, it was placed on the list because, according to Tyler, the group hit a "low point" when one part featured them squirting MiO into cups of water while the bottles were taped upside down on the stomach of a decoy deer. It also featured Garrett awkwardly grabbing the crotch of his shorts before placing a bottle behind the back of his legs to do a between-the-legs squeeze into a cup of water.
    • #4 - Exploding Flour (Alternate title: Bro-Mo: Guy Things in Slo-Mo - Released June 16, 2014, and placed on the list because the guys might have been killed in the flour explosion had the phantom camera operator not told them to stand back further than they were.
    • #3 - Zero Gravity Edition (Trick Shots in Space) - Released April 26, 2012. Cory and Cody were invited on a zero-gravity flight, where they both got airsickness (although Cody got it way worse than Cory).
    • #2 - Trick Shots and Cats - Released October 21, 2013. An advertisement for Tidy Cats's Lightweight litter, the video was literally a recreation of their very first video, but this one featured stuffed cats and the guys shooting bottles of cat litter instead of basketballs.
    • #1 - New Rewards - Released March 22, 2011. An advertisement for Southwest Airlines' Rapid Rewards program, placed on the list because of the Dudes' awkward banter (especially Coby's line, "It's just earn and burn."), and the fact that Cody's shot through the very back of a Southwest jet to a goal on the other side in the hangar was shown from four different angles. Also not helped was the fact that the Dudes clearly shot and edited this themselves, instead of Southwest hiring an ad agency to do it for them, and merely have the guys as endorsers.
  • Honorable mentions: The High Rise Shot (released June 25, 2010, unlisted); Ferris Wheel Edition (released April 8, 2013; unlisted; shot as part of a collaboration with Capital One at the 2013 NCAA Final Four in Atlanta, Georgia); Crazy Arena Edition (released April 3, 2013; advertised Pizza Hut's Crazy Cheesy Crust Pizza, notable for how Tyler said the product in question in a zany fashion).
  • Other videos up for selection included NASCAR Trick Shot Battle, Fidget Spinner Trick Shots, Endless Ducker Battle (the last video the group released that was filmed in their original Frisco office), and the group's actual first video, Aggie Skates Off Roof.
  • Unrelated to the above, the very first episode of FaceOff, a ping-pong showdown between the twins, has been made private by The Whistle, probably because of Tyler's announcer character, where he used a fake Chinese accent, and was named Ping Pong.
• The Merch: In addition to the typical clothing line of DP T-shirts, hats, hoodies, etc., you also have the line of Nerf toys, plus other sporting equipment with the DP logo, the can of baked beans, a couple of books, a DVD documentary, some mobile games, signed posters, even some school supplies.
• Release Date Change: From pretty much the beginning, the group would upload a new video every other Monday in the late afternoon, typically 4 PM Central time. This changed in 2022, when they switched to uploading every other Saturday at 9 AM Central.
• What Could Have Been: In 2020, a documentary called Dude Perfect: Backstage Pass was uploaded to YouTube. Acting as a behind-the-scenes look at the group's first-ever live tour, it also tells the history of the quintet, as well. In one segment, the Dudes talk about nearly quitting in early 2012. They had all graduated from Texas A&M, were living in different cities in Texas, had different day jobs, and some were either married or planning on getting married to their partners. Every weekend, they would meet up in one place to shoot a video. Coby and Cory were handling DP matters during the week. The stress took its toll on all of them, especially Cory, who ended up getting Bell's palsy after three straight all-night editing sessions. Things came to a head when they flew to Akron, Ohio to make a shot from the Goodyear Blimp. During the shoot, Tyler's boss at the landscaping company he worked for called to berate him about missing another Saturday, and that he couldn't miss any more. All of this despite the fact that their popularity hadn't waned, they had over one million subscribers, and they were making sponsored videos. Tyler told the other Dudes that if he wanted to keep making DP content, he would have to quit his job. And one of the others responded, "Maybe we should all quit our jobs." After consulting with their significant others, as well as seeing how much money they had saved, they all quit their day jobs to focus full-time on Dude Perfect. It was the correct decision, as almost immediately, they were fielding more offers from more companies, and eventually got big enough to have office space. But if they hadn't taken the risk to pursue the group full-time, they would've ended up subjects in "Where are they now?" articles.
