Ever heard of Dude Perfect? Dude Perfect is a family-friendly company made up of five friends: the twins, Coby and Cory Cotton; Tyler Toney, known as “Beard”; Garrett Hilbert, known as “Purple Hoser”; and Cody Jones, known as “Tall Guy.”
The founder of Dude Perfect was Sean Townsend. The name came from him exclaiming, “Dude, perfect!” after a successful trick shot. Townsend, who was the cameraman, later left at an unknown time to pursue a degree in medical school. He is now a doctor. Some people even speculate that Sean might be Panda, Dude Perfect’s mascot.
In the early days, Dude Perfect made bets—one of them was that if you made a trick shot, you got a sandwich! All the members lived together as roommates, though it’s unclear if Sean lived with them as well.
Today, Dude Perfect holds more than 20 Guinness World Records and has around 61.5 to 61.6 million subscribers. Their first video was Dude Perfect Backyard Edition.
We asked some students here at EMS who the best dude was and why.
Who is the best dude and why?
“Cory, ’cause he looks the coolest and he’s the best,” responded Journey Garcia.
When asked the same question, Trevor Shrock said, “Ty, because the first time I saw Dude Perfect, he was my favorite.”
