Badabun began in 2014 as a YouTube channel that uploaded videos such as top-ten lists and "street surveys" of members of the public, which often contained an element of humor.

[5] We were studying at the Law School of the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC) when we thought of an innovative application that, by using it, could locate you through geolocation and get a lawyer registered with us to answer questions about a legal case.

During that time, the Badabun company was focused on helping users monetize Facebook pages, and teaching them how to earn money online.

Shortly after the site began to obtain attention online, radio host Víctor González joined the Badabun team, becoming the new face of the company's channel.

[11] Their YouTube channel was created in October 2014, and their first video titled "Ten qualities that every man seeks in a woman" was published on 5 December of the same year.

By the end of the following year, they had five million subscribers, and premiered their series Exponiendo infieles, which led to an even stronger growth in popularity and became a prominent production by the company.

[19] On 6 December 2019, former team employees Alex Flores, Dani Alfaro, Daniela "Queen" Buenrostro, Kevin Achutegui, and Kim Shantal, together with the YouTuber Juan De Dios Pantoja, posted a video denouncing the workplace harassment, sexual harassment, and homophobia they had suffered through while working with the company, specifically on the part of CEO César Morales.

Morales opposed the layoff, and proposed having the art team use Jukidog to create more content, with the possibility of it generating enough income for their salaries.

[26] Several videos made in 2022 and 2023 positively promoting the image of Samuel García, Governor of Nuevo León, and his wife Mariana Rodríguez were posted on Badabun's social accounts.

[27] According to a report, Badabun has been in an "open contract" with the state of Nuevo León since July 2022, the cost of each video was over $125000 MXN (roughly $7320 USD).

[28] In 2024, a video was posted where Jorge Máynez, a candidate for the 2024 Mexican presidential election, and García, were drinking alcohol, insulting various politicians and the National Electoral Institute.
