Justin and Jacob both attended the University of Southern California, where the duo met as cast members of Second Nature Improv.
Their shorter sketches include Simon & Carfunkel, Beericorns, Video Will, Inches Away From Ordinary, and Five Second Rule.
Their parody of The Number 23 (called The Number 24) has enjoyed more internet fame than any of the group's other shorts, having been featured under the YouTube comedy category in 10 different countries.[1]
On October 26, 2009 Tremendosaur produced their first short for Cracked.com, Curse of the Duck Hunt Dog. Since then, they have produced two more sketches for the internet comedy site: "Home Alone: Retribution" and "Toy Story: The College Years." They also appeared in a Cracked sketch featuring Aisha Tyler in early 2010.

In early 2007, Tremendosaur was hired by Current TV to as commentators on the cable network's "Current Lowdown" series.
