All were from the town of Seinäjoki, where Hildén, Leppälä, and Laasala became close friends while attending elementary school together, where they later met Parviainen.

In the early 1990s, when Laasala got his first video camera, the group began filming their activities which eventually led to further pranks and extreme stunts.

They created and sold VHS tapes which were filmed and edited by Laasala and subsequently their reputation began to grow in Seinäjoki.

In January 2000, Jarno Laasala obtained a job as an editor for a small Finnish cable TV channel called MoonTV.

After finishing high school, the Dudesons set up their own production company called Rabbit Films.

This pilot was finished in August 2000 and the channel immediately green lit the first season, titled as "Maailmankiertue" (Worldtour).

In 2003, the Dudesons made a decision to start making English-language material in order to find international distribution.

By September 2007, the Dudesons Season 1 had been shown in 22 countries around the world, making it the most widespread Finnish TV-series of all time.

After a multimillion-dollar deal with MTV, a new show called The Dudesons in America was green lit.

With a budget of six million dollars, it would consist of the same line-up of all four Dudesons, and was set to be produced by both Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine.

The Dudesons' own production company, Rabbit Films, decided to do the show with the co-operation of Dickhouse.

The show aired exclusively on Extreme Sports Channel, and followed the Finns as they travelled from Copenhagen, Denmark to Monaco.

Guest stars include; Gumball 3000 founder Maximillion Cooper, rappers Xzibit, Eve, Bun B, and Elastinen, actor David Hasselhoff, pro freeskier Jon Olsson, Lee Dainton from Dirty Sanchez, MMA fighter and bodybuilder Robert Burneika, TV personality Dex Carrington, and pro skater Tony Hawk.

It featured the Dudesons doing different challenges and ending up in difficult scenarios in front of a live audience in their home country.

[citation needed] In 2019, The Dudesons hosted the television show Duudsonit: Päällikkö, in which a group of contestants competed in challenges.
