Just saw this and was amazed at how many huge arenas they are performing at and that all but three are sold out. Also seems strange that a Reed Arena date wouldn't be on the tour.

I also see that the tour is almost over. Massive thread fail. Delete and ban user (unless of course anybody didn't know about it that wanted to go to any of the Texas dates).

Question... are the Dude Perfect guys now the most famous living Aggies? I don't mean among Aggies, but in terms of pure celebrity on a national stage. 44M YouTube subscribers and a tour of this level is pretty insane. Or does that distinction still belong to Johnny?

I would say maybe so.

It's awesome to see their success but man I have to say I don't understand it. Their initial videos were entertaining but I would have NEVER believed the number of subscribers and the success of the tour. It's crazy.

I'd say they are more famous to anyone under 25 or so... the people that pay attention to Youtube stars.

Not so sure, if you took a poll of everyone 30 and older "do you know what "Dude Perfect" is? that it would beat "Do you know who Johnny Football Manziel is?"

World wide, Dude Perfect is definitely more well known than Johnny. The only other person that may be close is DeAndre Jordan. Being an NBA all star and an Olympian makes him pretty well known globally, especially in China, which has become obsessed with American basketball.

It is amazing what these guys have built and I certainly envy them. I could watch edited gifs of their tricks for hours. But for some reason they annoy the **** out of me with sound and i cant stand watching their videos.

Not trying to be a hater, but I find them incredibly obnoxious. What exactly do they do on this tour? Throw things at a basketball from a long distance over and over? I am genuinely curious what people are paying to go see them do?

So what do these shows entail? Trick shots? I thought they just spend all day trying crazy shots but that implies missing dozens of times. Not sure how it translates to a road show...

My 11 year old could not be more excited to go this week.

Today's kids watch Youtube. These guys are HUGE on Youtube.

They are genius for keeping their shows/chanel clean. There is a lot of Youtube crap I wont let my kids watch, but I'll let them watch Dude Perfect all day.

The thing that's impressed me the most, is their ability to keep things fresh. They aren't just trick shot guys anymore. And keep in mind, they are continually getting a new audience. When kids get too old for them, there's more on the way that start watching.

What do they do on YouTube if it isn't just trick shots? I think they have a show on Nickelodeon too?

One example, they did an airsoft fight where they recreated PUBG, a battle Royale game. They all had gopros on, and set up cameras around the map

If you're selling out these type of large venues in big markets, Reed Arena and B/CS def aren't making the cut.

All-Sports battles (like using anything but golf equipment, to play a golf hole)
Trick shots
Things like Pat mentioned
All kinds of battles (who can build the best XYZ, who can catch the most sharks, or do XYZ the best, etc)

They also have another show on Youtube called Overtime, where they review products, etc...it's more like a talkshow type format, but it's pretty entertaining.

They have the audience...they just do whatever to entertain them.

Not sure why I just thought of this, but in 1998 Garth Brooks finished a 2 year 220 date tour with three show at Reed Arena. One of the biggest tours of all time.

Among the tween set in Columbia, they are freaking huge. I think 4 of Benny's friends went to see them.

Ha, it's nothing bad. Just watch. It's mind-blowing. I love DP, but they've got nothing on this girl.

Right? I can't figure it out. Every single one looks real. And most are obviously staged (I think). But on the other hand I don't understand how to fake a single one of them...

The most confusing aspect, though, is the country track that plays over the whole thing. I love it. Everything about this video is so weird and crazy and mesmerizing.

Yeah so many of them are just incredible but how in the hell did they pull off the fish one?

Weird camera angles, sped up and slowed down video, use of magnets and hidden wires. A lot of it is just illusions no different that the magician shows that were popular 20-30 years ago. Also, a **** load of multiple takes.

I just fell in the love with her. That was awesome.

As for my previous Reed comment, I don't know that they'd sell it out because this town is just weird when it comes to non A&M sporting events (see WWE here a couple of months ago with very low ticket sales, albeit while the students were gone) but I would have guessed they'd draw a good crowd being Aggies and all and it would seem like a natural place they'd want to perform.

I did enjoy their short-lived show on tv (I forget what network). Their office/fun factory in Frisco looked pretty sweet and their collaborations with some of the biggest athletes on the planet were really cool.

For those that posted they are going this weekend have fun and let us know how it went!

The cheapest I could find tickets for the show back in Dallas was $160 per ticket. It's amazing that they are selling out arenas with tickets at that price. Hats off to them.
