The Dudesons (Finnish: Duudsonit) are a Finnish entertainment group.[1] They are best known for their TV shows and live performances, which are a combination of stunts and comedy. Their early TV shows were similar to Jackass.[2] Starting their television career in the early 2000s, they gained international fame and had a show on the American television channel MTV in 2010. After The Dudesons in America, the group started to shift from the stunts to more multidimensional careers.[2][3]
