Dennis Roady is an American YouTube personality best known for his prank videos which he posts on his YouTube channels Dennis Roady and howtoPRANKitup. His howtoPRANKitup channel has millions of subscribers and views. He wants to shock the world with his pranks, and help people with his good deeds. He was featured in the YouTube Red series Fight of the Living Dead: Experiment 88, in which ten YouTubers were placed in a zombie apocalypse condition. A born prankster, he caused a ruckus during the industry preview of a mobile app called Dude, your car! The app allows users to morph photos of cars and make them look damaged with scratches, dents, and clamped wheels or even on fire. Using the app, he played pranks on people and secretly recorded their reactions. When Dennis was hired by a Russian YouTube channel to review cars at the Detroit auto show, he couldn't let the opportunity pass by to play a prank with the same app. He made a three-minute video of it, which showed him fake-scratching a Mercedes-Maybach and Audi, and putting a fake dent on the side of a Dodge Challenger T/A Concept. The video earned more than 250k views within a few days. When he showed the image of the dented Challenger to a product specialist, she was immensely shocked, and ran to the car. Her reaction gave Dennis Roady more prank ideas. After the success of this video, he started working with Mobilaga, an app developer, to develop a new pranking app compatible with Apple and Android products.

Alongside his job, he started making videos and uploading them on YouTube. Soon it became his passion, and he started the Dennis Roady Deeds channel on May 6, 2012. After his career as a YouTuber picked up, and his self-titled channel earned thousands of subscribers, he left his regular job to be a full-time YouTuber. Next, he launched the YouTube channel howtoPRANKitup on August 27, 2013 after working with comedian Roman Atwood on his YouTube prank channel, RomanAtwood. On December 11, 2013, he started his third channel Dennis RoadyVlogs.

In 2016, he became significantly popular with the feature film Natural Born Pranksters. Going from YouTube to a full-fledged film was a huge change in terms of scale, budget, and scope. He had to adjust to a lot of things—like he was used to shooting quick shots, while the feature film taught him to patiently shoot long shots. He had to manage 30 crewmembers out on the streets at the same time, with a number of cameras at different places. These were all new things that he had never done before.
