Dude Perfect (DP) is an American sports and comedy group and YouTube channel headquartered in Frisco, Texas.
[5] The group consists of Tyler "The Beard" Toney, "The Twins" Cory and Coby Cotton, Garrett "The Purple Hoser" Hilbert, and Cody "The Tall Guy" Jones, all of whom are former college roommates at Texas A&M University.
The group also regularly uploads videos of "battles", in which the individual members of Dude Perfect compete against one another in a good-natured game or contest, often incorporating different sports and a unique set of rules.
Dude Perfect also created the show Overtime, a series where they host several segments, such as "Wheel Unfortunate", in which a contestant spins a wheel and gets a random penalty, "Cool Not Cool", a show-and-tell-like segment, and "Absurd Recurds", in which the Dudes attempt to break the most absurd world records they can find.
On April 9, 2009, a video of the group performing trick shots at Tyler Toney's house and a local public park was released on YouTube.
[9] In 2016, Dude Perfect traveled to the United Kingdom to film a video with players of Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea.
[11] Cory Cotton authored a book titled Go Big, in which he shared the secrets the group has learned along the way building a business in a world largely influenced by social media.
[13] In September 2015, the group was approved for a television series entitled The Dude Perfect Show on CMT, which began airing during the first half of 2016.
