“Be aware of how product placements for Ruffles and the group's new book are woven into the 'training' storyline to make purchasing feel like supporting a friend's journey.”

Signals

The video features authentic human interaction, spontaneous reactions, and personal storytelling that lacks the formulaic or synthetic markers of AI generation. The dialogue is deeply rooted in the specific physical environment and personal histories of the creators.

Natural Speech Patterns Transcript contains informal banter, self-deprecating humor ('I can't touch the rim'), and specific personal anecdotes about growing up in Dallas.
Contextual Interaction Dynamic back-and-forth between Cody, Sparky, and Tyler with overlapping dialogue and situational reactions to physical props like the broom.
Brand Consistency The content aligns with the long-standing established personalities and high-production physical comedy style of the Dude Perfect channel.

Worth Noting

Positive elements

  • This video provides a unique behind-the-scenes look at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game experience through the eyes of a non-professional athlete.

Be Aware

Cautionary elements

NBA Host: Some say this dude might be the perfect Celebrity Game player. A YouTuber and Trickshot artist, best known as the "Tall Guy" from Dude Perfect...Number 22: Cody Jones. And on the other side... is one of the tallest players to ever play in the NBA. Number 99: Tacko Fall. Taylor: Does he make you feel short? Cody: Yes. Tyler: Since Cody won the last video, he has the honor of playing in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game. Sparky: Congratulations, Cody! Cody: Woo! Celebrity All-Star Game, baby! Tyler: His goal is to get a "Double-Double". Coby: No chance! Tyler: 4 weeks to train. The Dallas Mavs are coming to help in 2. Until then, he's on his own. Tyler: Better get after it! Cody: Let's go! Sparky: Cody's challenge for this quest is to get a "Double-Double" in the Ruffles All-Star Celebrity Game. For those who don't know... a "Double-Double" is getting double digits in 2 statistical categories. For example: 12 points and 10 rebounds... That's a "Double-Double". Big moment, Cody. And I mean, "BIG", because the rosters have been revealed for the NBA Celeb Game. On your team, Cody, you're getting to play with Simu Liu, Keenan Allen and Jason "White Chocolate" Williams. On the other team, Team Giannis, you'll be going up against the likes of Keegan-Michael Key, Jeremy Lin... But the one name that sticks out to me is all 7'6" of Tacko Fall. He's a current pro overseas in China. Probably gonna be your matchup. Sparky: So we've gotta amplify the work, brother, because that is one tall Tacko. Cody: "Tacko Tuesday". That's what LeBron does. Sparky: Yeah. Well...you're not LeBron. So let's practice! Let's get to work because Tacko's working. Cody: You think he blocks that? Sparky: Yes, I do. Sparky: First drill, Codes. Gonna simulate the height of Tacko with this here broom. Cody: Whoa! Sparky: Alright. Next up Cody gonna do a little rebounding. But if we're gonna rebound over Tacko, I'm gonna be as tall as Tacko. Get you a visual look at this. Rebound! Why are you not getting it, Codes? This is too easy. How are you gonna get a rebound over Tacko if you can't rebound over Sparky? Next up...catch and shoot threes. Let's go! Get 'em up! Oh! Oh, my... Oh! Go get the ball! Sparky: We're gonna do it again. Cody: This is demoralizing. Sparky: We're rebounding. Now...now you foul! Do you think Tacko's gonna take it easy? Maybe. It's a Celebrity Game. Sparky: Oh! You got Tacko, buddy. Sparky: Oh, you're giving me "Single-Single" vibes, Cody. 7:00 tomorrow. Cody: Okay. Sparky: A.M.. We've got work to do. Cody: Growing up in Dallas, I loved playing basketball and watching the Mavs on TV. By the age of 16, I was 6'6" and had dropped all other sports. My senior year of high school, we won state, and I've stayed connected to the game of basketball ever since. As a huge fan of the NBA, I've never missed watching the All-Star Weekend, so when presented with this opportunity, I knew I couldn't pass it up. Alright. I'm a little rusty, not gonna lie. The Dallas Mavericks, my childhood team, is coming to the office next week. I gotta show out for Cooper Flagg. Maybe I can get a 10 day contract from Jason Kidd. Ha! Who am I kidding? I can't touch the rim... but I gotta get ready. Broccoli and chicken for dinner. See ya! I might not outplay 'em...but I'm gonna outwork 'em. Jeremy Lin, you might be faster... but I care more. Tall Guy checking in. I'm coming for you, Giannis. Your team don't got it. Not this year. <i>(Whispers:)</i> This is my year! Cody: I'm gonna be playing in the Celebrity NBA All-Star Game. And I'm trying to get a "Double-Double". Chris: Dude, I'll tell you this... Chris: Get your stamina up! Cody: Okay. Chris: Do 100 burpees a day for 30 days! You will out hustle everybody, because that's what it's gonna come down to. Cody: Okay. Chris: Go win this game, bro! Let's go! Step up! Sparky: Full intensity, full effort. Got it. Atta-baby! Here we go. Sparky: Great work today, brother. Great work. But the good work has to continue on, brother. They're liable to swap you out for another celebrity. Speaking of swaps... the Dude Perfect Flavor Swap Bags with Ruffles are in stores now. 2 icons come together: Doritos Cool Ranch and Ruffles for one iconic chip. This flavor is here for only limited time, so get it while supplies last! This is my bag, though. You're gonna have to get your own. I'll see you tomorrow. Same time. 2 days. "Double-Doubles" just don't come naturally. You gotta earn it. Cody: Got up 05:30. Tip on a Friday morning... Nothing better. Defense is not a part of the game for me. And to win something, you lose something. We're not here to win. We're here to get 10 points. 10 rebounds. Sparky: 2 rebounds. Clear! Cory: Oh, good "D" [defense]! Cody: Cor! Cor! Cody: Alright. Got a lift in already. Got some shots up. Feeling good. Gonna get some sleep. Tyler: Alright. We are 1 week away from Cody's big game. We feel like his training has come a long way. Coby: Has it? Tyler: Are you ready? Cody: I guess. Tyler: Ladies and gentlemen... please welcome the Dallas Mavericks! Let's go, boys! Cody: A lot of emotions. Huge Mavs fan, since I was born. And the rim looks a little smaller than normal today. I just made that. Ryan: Watching these dudes since I was a kid. So...fun to actually be here and watch it and see it in person. So I'm loving it. Klay: The...uh..."Basketball Stereotypes" video is some of the greatest cinema I've ever seen. 6'6" guy who just shoots 3. That's me. Young Tyler: Kick it out! Kick it out! Come on! Come on! Young Cody: Uh... Young Cody: I'm a shooter. Young Tyler: Oh, my... Cody: Good to see you. Cooper: Cooper. Cody: This is Coop...right here. Train me up today! Young "up-and-comer". Ryan: "Double-Double" in the All-Star Game... It's gonna be tough for him to get. But... uh...we'll see what happens. Tyler: This guy's great, and he basically gets to come out. Cody's getting some warm ups in. Jason: Got the headband on. Tyler: Oh, yeah. Look at my guy in there! Let's go, Codes! Cody: Just gotta open up the hips. Activate the hips. Activate the hips. Tyler: One leg sleeve... I mean, it's a look. Jason: Yeah. He's getting ready? Tyler: Yeah. Coby: I love when Cody's surrounded by people bigger and taller than him. Coby: He's like shrinking emotionally right now around these modern day giants. Cody: Ah! Player: You're already tired? Cody: I'm out. The 24 second shot clock's got me. Jason: Baseline! Tyler: Has he made a shot yet? Sparky: No, I don't think. Not that I've seen. Cory: No. Tyler: Okay. Tyler: Hey! Keep your chin up, kid! Okay. Didn't get the assist. Cory: No! No! No! Tyler: He just air balled. Tyler: He just air balled. Cory: No, no, no, no! Tyler: Alright. Come on, Codes! Oh, he doesn't know where to go. He doesn't know where to go. Sparky: He's lost. He's so lost. He's overthinking right now. He's gotta turn the brain off. Cody: 0 for 8. 0 for 8 so far. It's not good. Tyler: He made it! He made it! Coby: Let's go, Jones! Tyler: Let's go, kid! Garrett: We're gonna cheer for a bucket? Tyler: 2 in a row? Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Cody: Hey! Yeah! That's my guy. I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna do that. Cody: I'm gonna do that. Tyler: Don't do that again! Don't do that again! Cody: They're practicing dunks. I'm gonna take some lessons. Tyler: Oh! Oh! Cody: Vince Carter! Vince Carter! Cody: Oh! Tyler: That's what we want. Tyler: That's what we want. Coby: I mean, you'll never be more stretched out. Cody: So when you're going up, you go between the legs... Daniel Yeah. Cody: ...and then elevate. Daniel: I just try to get it to the rim. Cody: Okay. Alright. That's all I needed. I just needed a pointer. That's what's holding me back. Cory: Rise up! Cody: All the hips. Tyler: Rise up, dude! Oh! You're jumping like this high off the ground. Cory: What are you doing? Cody: I'm a "Lay Up Guy". So... same amount of points. Cooper: Hey! 2 points is 2 points. Tyler: Yeah. He's like... Oh, no! Oh, no! He's missing layups. Tyler: Oh, no! Coby: Oh, no! Get a breather! Tyler: Hey! Just put the ball in the hoop, dude! Tyler: Put it in! Cory: No, no, no! Tyler: Oh, he's falling apart. Just put it in! Oh, that's not it. That's not it. Okay. Okay. Tyler: Okay. Okay. Garrett: Uh...I'm gonna go ahead and say he gets 4 points, 5 rebounds... Tyler: 5 rebounds? Really? Garrett: ...and 6 turnovers. Cody: Coach, what's my next? What are you thinking for me next? Coach Hughes: I think you gotta play a little 1v1. Coach Hughes: 'm worried...a little worried about your conditioning. Cody: You mean me? Coach Hughes: No, no, no, no, no! You and the big guy. Cody: Oh, my gosh! Coach Hughes: Yeah. Tyler: Hey! Focus in! Darling, are you nervous? Cody: No...a little bit. Tyler: You are. Cody: Yeah. There's a lot of people watching. Tyler: I know, but it's okay. Settle down! Cody: I'm settled. Tyler: Oh! Cory: Through the legs. Tyler: Oh! Cody: Nothing? Tyler: Look! He's backing farther and farther. Coby: No, that's not you. Coby: That's not you. That's not you. Cory: Boo! Boo! Tyler: Unreal. Cory: That's lazy. Tyler: Wait! Tyler: He's acting like he doesn't have a left? Cory: Oh! Coby: No! No! Coby: You were right there on the court step. Cory: Couldn't get a better chance for that. Sparky: Oh! Cory: Finish him! Sparky: Watch the hands, Jones! Watch the hands! Tyler: Swat him! Swat him! Coby: Hey! Tyler: That's a bucket! That's a bucket! Hey! Watch that! Watch the edge! Watch the edge! Watch the edge! Oh! Off the GoPro. Coby: Ooh! Cody: That was the...that was the wake up call I needed. That was the wake up call I needed. Garrett: Do you think a 1v1 I could score a point? Cory: No. Garrett: But I could put a hand up. Watch! He's fine. He hasn't played defense like this. See? Cody: Oh! Coby: Oh! He wins. Cory: Oh, this is so insulting. Cory: Wow! That is so... Garrett: Does it look so effortless, man? Garrett: I got a really... Cory: Because he is effortless. Garrett: Go through his legs! Go through his legs! Cody: Dirk taught me this. Cory: What is that? Garrett: Yep. Yeah. Cory: Yeah! He's ready. Cody: He's gotta get one stop. Cody: One stop. Cooper: Yeah. Cody: He doesn't like to go left. Garrett: Use the leg! Cody: Love you, buddy! Take care! Good luck this season! I'm exhausted. Tyler: Alright, Klay...you've seen Cody play out here today. Is a "Double-Double" in play for him? Klay: It's definitely a "Double-Double". I'm thinking 10 points, 10 boards, a couple of blocks... Tyler: Okay. Klay: At least... Tyler: Some blocks? Coby: Did you say "definitely"? Dwight: It's an expectation at this point. Be highly disappointed with anything less than...uh...12 and 14. Tyler: Wow! Cody: Wow! Coby: What are they seeing? Tyler: Oh, no! They can see something we can't see. But Klay says he's got a shot, Dwight says he's got a shot... We'll see what happens. It's time to go to LA. Cody: Alright. So the Celebrity All-Star Game's coming up. I think I'm gonna match up against Tacko Fall. Do you have any pointers for me? Because I know you and I...we battled. Cody: It was a close game. Luka: No, it wasn't. Cody: You took it at the end. Luka: It wasn't close. Cody: It wasn't close. Cody: Like...what do you think? Luka: You should just sub about. Cody: Sub... Dude! You think I can get a "Double-Double"? Luka: No. Luka: 2 fouls, 2...2 turnovers. Cody: 2 fouls, 2 turnovers? That's so good. I am in contention for a "Double-Double". I'm shooting every time I got the ball. Just shooting. Dude, this looks so good. Delicious. Pre-game ritual for me: reading. 'Cause it's Dude Perfect + Panda. Pre-order right now! Comes out May 12th. Book it! Haha! Get it? Book the book! Wow! Feel good for the "Double-Double". I just...I think Tacko's gonna guard me. He is huge. Surely he's out of shape. We'll see. Famous last words... Alright. Time is now. Let's go get 10 points and a win! What's up, baby? Let's go! Let's go! We out here. J. Will. [Jason Williams] in the house. Let's get it, baby! J. Williams: Yeah! Let's go! Tyler: What do we got? We got 35 minutes until game time. Cory: That's a lot of time to question yourself. Tyler: It is Cody. Garrett: Not gonna lie to you. Garrett: I haven't seen him make one jumper. Tyler: Yeah. Coby: That's not your game. That's not your game. Garrett: Don't do that! Cody: I'm smoking layups. That's not good. Tyler: Nobody cares if you miss from out here. You miss that one...that's a problem. Cory: It's a different kind of highlight. Cody: First time laying eyes on Tacko. This is who I'm guarding tonight. It will be a handful. He's gonna be a handful. Tyler: Alright...final predictions. Tyler: What do you think? Cory: Yes! Tyler: Cobes? Coby: I say yes. Cody. Oh! Tyler: I say yes. Cory: You said yeah. Cody: Yeah. Garrett: Okay, guys. Look! I've always been a realist. Garrett: I love the kid. Tyler: Yeah. Garrett: 6.4 rebounds. Tyler: Yeah, that's a good day. That's a good day. Cody: Hey! You already screwed. Tyler: Let's go! Cody: Screwed. Okay? Tyler: Let's go! Come on! NBA Host: Some say this dude might be the perfect Celebrity Game player. Best known as the "Tall Guy" from Dude Perfect... Number 22: Cody Jones. Sparky: Play your game! Play your game! I really believe in him. Like he's put in the work the last couple of weeks. My hopes are high, and I think Codes is gonna come through. Cody: Win on 3! Anthony: Win on 3! 1, 2, 3! Team Anthony: Win! NBA Host: And here we go. Garrett: Here we go. It's coming to us. Commentator 1: Looks like we got a foul here already on Tacko Fall. Tyler: Foul him out! Coby: I mean, Cody...Cody just did this to Tacko Fall. Cody: Can't do that. Cory: Not the time to be funny, Cody. Cory: Lock in! Tyler: Oh, yeah! Coby: Cody! Board! Sparky: Yeah! Tyler: Does that count? Sparky: That's a point. Coby: Okay. 1 point. 1 point. Tyler: That's 1. Cory: Oh! 2 rebounds. Coby: 2 rebounds. Tyler: 2 rebounds. Cory: 2 rebounds. Coby: Yes! Sparky: 4! 4! Garrett: Wow! Commentator 1: That's tied up. With the reverse... Anthony: Find Angles! Like...like be here! Like...post up! Be here! Make a move! Then if...if he's here and he's in the help side, and he's that big... you stretch out to the 3 point line! J. Williams: Get out there. Hey! Sparky: Confidence 2-2. Cory: Come on, CoJo! NBA Host: "Tall Guy" from downtown. Dude Perfect: Yeah! Commentator 1: The "Tall Guy" with a little bit of range. Tyler: Huge shot! Cory: We'll take it. Sparky: Run! Run, Jones! That's a good assist. Tyler: Let's go, Jones! Coby: Let's go, baby! Sparky: I'm not kidding. You couldn't script a much better start. Tyler: Huge for the confidence game. Tyler: That's all it was. Anthony: I mean, you guys are the best players on the court. Alright? Commentator 1: Hey! The "Tall Guy" just had his shot blocked by a "Taller Guy". Commentator 2: Can you call yourself the "Tall Guy" with Tacko Fall? Sparky: We've got our "Tall Guy", but he ain't that tall, when you compare him to "Old 99" out there. And he's not AI generated, though. He looks like it. Coby: Look how tiny he looks! Garrett: Oh, we got pushed. Sparky: Oh, no! Rebound, Cody! Rebound! Oh! Oh! He needs those. Oh! Bad pass. Oh, it's a bad idea. Horrible. Commentator 2: Oh, look at that! Commentator 1: Unselfish. Commentator 2: Tacko time! Tyler: Hey! Hey! Get him out of here! Commentator 1: That's gonna be a foul against ball. Commentator 2: Come on, Tacko! Sparky: Oh, Cody to the bench? Cody: Ugly little stretch there. Got a little out of control, but...playing Tacko as hard as I can. A lot of work to do. Commentator 2: Uh-oh! Commentator 1: Tacko! Showtime! Commentator 2: Guy's pretty impressive. Commentator 1: That was great. Commentator 2: I'm not gonna lie. Cody: I'm the "Tall Guy", but Tacko has been the "Taller Guy". So...reload at halftime. Sparky: All things considered, not a bad half. 3, 4 and 1. We have work to do. But he looks good. And if you want to look good... Coby: Ooh! I like that. Sparky: Dudeperfect.store. Get yours! Sparky: Jump on it! Coby: It looks nice. Coby: That does look nice. Sparky: Thank you! Thank you! Commentator 2: Tacko looks like...he's just playing around. Cory: You're doing amazing. Keep going, baby! Let's go! Cody: 3. Here we go. Cory: For real. You're doing awesome. Keep it up! Cody: Lethal said I'm not locked in, so I'm going "Coby Mode". Love you, buddy! Sparky: Cody! Coby: Yeah! Sparky: Yes. 5. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 5. 5 boards. Board! Commentator 1: Tacko Ball with another bucket. Coby: Come on, Cody! Coby: Ooh! Cory: Okay. Sparky: That looked good. What is he supposed to do? Sparky: Up, up, up, up! Garrett: No! No! Sparky: What a knob! Anthony: Go with more at a time. Cody: Good. Commentator 1: You got a "Big Dude" out there with a 20-20 already on you. How do you...how do you slow down Tacko? What's going on with that? Sparky: Gonna need a legacy fourth quarter from Jones. He's gonna have to catch fire next time he's in. But he's capable. He is capable. Sparky: Come on! That's a 3 ball. Ooh, baby! Cory: He can't find a good shot. Commentator 1: There he is. Got punched on the glass by Tacko as payback for double. Jeremy Lin! That's the right guy for the job. For 8. Got it! A game breaker from Linsanity. Boy, that really takes the soul and heart out of Team Anderson. A little over 2 minutes to go... and it's a 10 point game like that. Sparky: Ooh! Did he eat that? Oh, no! Oh, no! Sparky: 6. 6 rebounds. Garrett: 3 and 6. 3 and 7. Commentator 1: They're down 7. They need a miracle here. No good. And that'll do it. It's over...with Tacko Fall leading the way for Team Giannis. NBA Host: Tacko Fall becomes the first player ever to record a "Double-Double" in the Celebrity All-Star Game. Cody: I haven't even seen the stat line. Cody: I know that there were 3 missions. Coby: Aha. Cody: Win the game... Coby: Yeah. Tyler: Yeah. Cody: Didn't happen. Tyler: Okay. Cody: 10 points...didn't happen. Cory: You're correct. You're correct. Cody: 10 rebounds...didn't happen. Cory: Didn't happen. Cody: But what y'all did know was... there was a 4th element to this mission. Coby: Talk to me! Cody: It was called "Have fun". Cody: And dadgum it! Cory: Yeah! Cody: Thank you all for supporting me! I'm 40. I'm over basketball. Sparky: He's a man. He's 40. Cody: Thanks for having me! If you're gonna play the game, don't guard or be guarded by a 7'6" fella! Cody: That was insanity. Coby: He got "Tacko-ed". He got "Tacko-ed". Cody: I got "Tacko-ed". I'm going In-N-Out. See ya! In-N-Out Worker: "Double-Double". I have a "Double-Double". Cody: It's me. Thank you! Finally got my "Double-Double"! Mm... You know...I really wanted that "Double-Double"... and I didn't get it. And that's okay. Over the last month, I pushed myself and got healthier. I set a goal...and gave it my best try. Getting to play on the big stage was one of the coolest moments of my life. I got to live out my childhood dream playing against celebrities and professional athletes, and I wouldn't change a thing about this journey. I got "Taclko-ed". And to honor that, I'm not gonna eat tacos for a year. Tyler: Not used to that. He's not used to that. Cody: Having my best friends there to cheer me on... Well, that was the true win. Until next time. Jonesy out. Title VO: Dude Perfect
