History Series / DudeWhatWouldHappen

[[caption-width-right:333:L-R: Ali, Jackson, CJ.]]

''Dude, What Would Happen?'' is one of a slew of reality shows produced by Creator/CartoonNetwork for the Creator/CNReal block in 2009. It and fellow show ''Destroy Build Destroy'' were both cancelled on September 21, 2011, making them both the longest-running CN Real shows.

Promoted as a sort of kids' version of ''Series/MythBusters'', it was more like a kid-friendly version of ''Series/{{Jackass}}''. The titular Dudes - C.J. Manigo, Jackson Rogow and Ali Sepasyar - are given a question (i.e. "What would happen if you popped the world's largest zit", "...if covering a piano with basketballs would make it bounce", and so on), and then use it as a jumping-off point for physical stunts and shenanigans.

The show is often regarded as being TheFace of CN Real; the show ultimately ended up outlasting the block itself. The dudes themselves often still regard their time on the show fondly. To them, it didn't matter how it was received; [[AwesomeDearBoy the sheer amount of insane stuff they got to do on the show made it worth it for them.]]

The show was prompted as a sort of kids' version of ''Series/MythBusters'', [[{{Dissimile}} only they don't deal with myths, old wives' tales, or things kids might actually ask]]. In practice, it was more along the lines of ''Series/{{Jackass}}'' for kids. The titular Dudes - C.J. Manigo, Jackson Rogow and Ali Sepasyar - are given a question, and then use it as a jumping-off point for [[HilarityEnsues physical shenanigans]]. For example, what sticks to peanut butter on an inclined surface longer (one of the substances they used in testing was [[ShapedLikeItself more peanut butter]]), if covering a piano in ''deflated'' basketballs would make it bounce, or what would happen if you popped the world's biggest zit (which they "solved" by filling a punching bag with cream and dropping it off a building).

The show is often regarded as being TheFace of ''Creator/CNReal''; and as such, attracted quite a lot of controversy from animation enthusiasts at the time. Even to this day, bringing up the show around fans of animation will often spark an intensely negative reaction. Despite this, the show ultimately ended up outlasting the block itself.
