History Series / DudeWhatWouldHappen

* SurferDude: The dudes speak with a chill tone of voice and, of course, throw the word "dude" around a lot.

* SurferDude: The dudes all speak like this, to the point where it's often wondered if they naturally talk like it or are forced to by the writing staff.
* TotallyRadical: The show tried really hard to appeal to the generation of kids this way. Whether or not this worked is a subject of debate; [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment and thus probably shouldn't be talked about further]].

* NeverTrustATrailer: They would often try to pass this off as some kind of kid-friendly science show (basically a ''[=MythBusters=]'' ripoff), when in reality it's "doing stupid stuff for the sake of it" (basically a ''Jackass'' ripoff).
* SurferDude: They seem to be ''trying'' to go for this, anyway.
* TotallyRadical: The title says it all. These guys don't talk like real people.

The show attempted to be a 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}}'' [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids for kids]]. The titular Dudes - C.J. Manigo, Jackson Rogow and Ali Sepasyar - are usually given a question, and then use it as a jumping-off point for [[HilartyEnsues shenanigans ensuing]]. 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).

It wound up [[CriticProof outlasting the other shows on the CN Real block]], and was AdoredByTheNetwork for a while (the Dudes were even used in an anti-bullying campaign on the network years after the show ended).

''Dude, What Would Happen?'' is one of a slew of reality shows produced by Creator/CartoonNetwork for the infamous CN Real 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.

It is, needless to say, [[{{Understatement}} not considered a very novel series]].

* RecycledInSpace: It's ''Series/{{Jackass}}'' pretending to be ''MythBusters'' '''for kids!'''

* DidNotDoTheResearch: There's an episode where they try to figure out how to send text messages as cavemen. It starts off pretty hilariously: They write ''[=WTF=]'' on a big rock and fling it at a cardboard cutout of a caveman a short distance away. And nail Thog right in the [[GroinAttack stone quarry]]. Unfortunately, it goes downhill when they decide to send text messages in American colonial times, by ''writing messages on cannon balls''. What's wrong with this picture? They ''already'' had a means of quickly sending signals over distances back then, using flag codes and semaphore (or, if you want to stick to actual text, by sending some guy with a letter from you in his pocket).
