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

13	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.

15	The show is often regarded as being TheFace of CN Real, and 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]].
16	----
17	!!This show provides examples of:
18	* FoodAndAnimalAttraction: In one episode, one of the guys dresses as a carrot to lure a horse.
19	* 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 crazy stuff for the sake of it" (more along the lines of ''Series/{{Jackass}}'').
20	* SurferDude: The dudes speak with a chill tone of voice and, of course, throw the word "dude" around a lot.
21	* TitleDrop: OnceAnEpisode, one of the dudes asks the others "Dude, what would happen if [wacky experiment idea]?" to kickstart the experiment of the episode.
22	* TotallyRadical: The show used a lot of modern slang - see the "dude" in the title.
