10Cory [=DeVante=] Williams[[note]]Not to be confused with [[Creator/CoryWilliams this other creator]][[/note]] (born November 9, 1992), better known as [[https://www.youtube.com/user/CoryxKenshin Cory Kenshin]], is a gamer on Website/YouTube based in Michigan known for his [[GoshDangItToHeck refusal to curse]], CowardlyLion tendencies, MotorMouth and fantastic editing skills.
11
12When he started his channel in 2009, Cory originally focused on vlogs and comedy sketches, but in 2014, he started his first LetsPlay series for ''VideoGame/PunchOut''. His early years had him mostly play RPG horror games including ''VideoGame/{{Ib}}'', ''VideoGame/MadFather'', ''VideoGame/CorpseParty'', and ''VideoGame/AoOni''. He didn't start gaining a lot of attention until he played ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys1'', as the game was extremely popular upon release.
13
14Now, Cory mostly plays games like ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'', ''VideoGame/GeometryDash'', and ''VideoGame/HappyWheels''. As his fanbase continues to expand, he's begun playing more and more triple-A games such as ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', ''VideoGame/Injustice2'' and ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin2''. He's also known for taking extended breaks out of the blue, usually without warning, much to the chagrin of his subscribers.
15
16Cory notably announced plans to retire from [=YouTube=] once he reached 10 million subscribers. Around June 24, 2021, while he was on hiatus, this milestone was passed. However, he returned that August and announced that he'd not only be staying but taking his [=YouTube=] channel to the next level.
17
18He was also rumored to make a cameo in the film version of ''Film/FiveNightsAtFreddys2023'', which was confirmed when he appeared in the stinger of the official trailer.

142----
143!!Cory's videos provide examples of:
144[[folder:A-E]]
145* ActuallyPrettyFunny: After spending most of the series trashing Taylor's puns in ''VideoGame/{{Simulacra}}'', Cory applauds him for his Titanic pun.
146** A RealLife [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yikes_8.png example]] between Cory and a fan.[[note]]Cory was involved in a car accident back in 2016 and this comment was made on a video for a game about driving a car called VideoGame/{{Beware}}.[[/note]]
147* ActuallyQuiteCatchy: Despite trashing Senpai in ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'', he still dances and sings to his first song.
148* AlliterativeTitle: His series '''S'''pooky '''S'''cary '''S'''unday.
149* AnAesop:
150** He gives one about suicide and the dangers of social media on mental health in his video about Etika.
151** His old "Fornication: NO!" skit is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. In the "aesop" section of the video Cory addresses the teenagers in his audience and talks about the risks of [=STD=]s from sex without preparation, then adds that even if you don't get one while fornicating, "an old crinkly woman will come up to your window at night topless [[SerialEscalation and the world will implode]], [[AndThatsTerrible and we don't want the world to implode]].".
152** Another consistent one is [[TheDeterminator never giving up while pursuing your goals]].
153* AfroAsskicker: Switches between this and FunnyAfro.
154* {{Angrish}}: Especially when playing rage games like Geometry Dash and Cuphead.
155* AudienceParticipation: Like most [=YouTubers=], this is one of the biggest things that Cory values. A lot of his content (reading comments, Spooky Scary Sunday, Try Not To Laugh..) comes from the viewers.
156* AscendedFanboy: Remember Cory's brother Anthony who appeared in an episode of [=FNaF2=]? He now has his own channel!
157* AsTheGoodBookSays: He is an outspoken Christian so most of his videos ends with a verse from Literature/TheBible.
158* AxCrazy: Games like ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'' really bring this out in him.
159* BadassBoast: Due to his LargeHam nature, this is only natural, though they tend to come off more wacky than cool.
160* BerserkButton: Making fun of his Ectodermal Dysplasia.
161** When special attacks don't land in ''VideoGame/Injustice2'' or ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX''.
162** In his video for ''VideoGame/AkaManto'', he mentions he hates bullies.
163** During his gameplay for ''Araya'', he says that anyone who disrespects their mom ticks him off.
164** Whenever his microphone fails to record properly, it understandably makes him angry.
165* BewareTheNiceOnes: Cory is normally never anything but a positive and genuine dude who aspires to help others any way he can, but the moment someone pushes him too far, it's not pretty. Just watch his video on Tee-Chip and Moteefe, it's filled with [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness uncharacteristic]] angry yelling, TranquilFury and [[SarcasmMode snarking]].
166* BewareTheSillyOnes: Same as the above entry. He's an entertaining CloudCuckooLander most of the time. Until he isn't.
167* BeYourself: When asked for advice about starting on [=YouTube=], he cites this as the first one along with learning about making videos and maintaining AudienceParticipation.
168* BigBrotherMentor: Takes on this role in the VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 episode that his brother Anthony appeared in.
169* BigOMG: He often yells this when he gets scared.
170* BilingualBonus: Cory speaks Japanese fluently and often drops Japanese phrases in his videos.
171* BigWHAT: Whenever he's surprised by anything.
172* BlackAndNerdy: Cory is very obviously both.
173* BlackGuyDiesFirst: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Cory often in fact will say a character may not have gotten killed if they were black, because they would have run away.
174* BlatantLies: Cory sometimes will boast about a feat he accomplished, saying he did it first try when it's clear he was about to lose his cool failing continuously beforehand.
175* BloodKnight: Whether it's him watching or doing the fighting, he can barely hold back his eagerness to jump into action.
176* BoastfulRap: Cory often breaks out into this if he finds the music in the game he's playing appealing.
177* BoisterousBruiser: Cory gets very excited during in-game combat.
178* BondVillainStupidity: Discussed by him during his Dark Deception and Mortal Kombat 11 playthrough.
179* BunnyEarsLawyer: Cory may be a wacky CloudCuckooLander but he is an incredibly talented video editor at the end of the day, as well as a surprisingly good rapper when given time to write his stuff down.
180* ButtMonkey: Several jokes have been made about Cory's chair enduring a lot of farts and abuse from Cory.
181* CatchPhrase: Cory has quite the collection:
182** "[[MaleGaze Dat booty tho!]]"
183** "LET'S GOOOO!" (his victory cheer)
184** "Samurai slice that like button!"
185** "Let's get IIIIIIT!!"

188** "[[IAmTheNoun I am the CHOSEN!!]]"
189** "[[OhCrap Oh hax nah!]]"
190** "Bust it wide open!"

193* CelebCrush: Creator/MeaganGood.
194* ChivalrousPervert: Cory will hit on about any female he encounters in a game, but is pretty polite about it.
195* CloudCuckooLander: His videos are full of random and strange humor, and Cory himself often acknowledges how strange he is.
196-->'''Cory''': ''(after saying something particularly strange)'' "[[LampshadeHanging Yo, what's wrong with me?]]"
197* CompanionCube: His plant Momo.
198* CowardlyLion: For all his bravado and big talk, Cory is very easily scared. He still manages to overcome it most of the time.
199* {{Determinator}}: Both in his let's plays and life. He often professes how important this trope is when pursuing your goals.
200* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: It doesn't matter who it is, whether his psychotic neighbor or a horrid abomination of flesh, if given the chance, Cory will insult them.
201* TheDissTrack: Not towards anyone...but things he can't stand.
202** Prior to that, he released one against himself for being away from [=YouTube=] for so long.
203* DistractedByTheSexy: If there is even one mildly attractive female on the screen.
204* DoesNotLikeSpam: When Cory was asked to do the banana and sprite challenge, he replied that he can't as he hates bananas because they make his tongue itch.
205* DontExplainTheJoke: Usually after he makes a pun.
206* DoubleStandard: Discussed by him in Yandere Simulator after he listened to The Journalist's tapes.
207--> ''See, that's the thing, man. If it was a dude, if it...I'm sorry, but there is a double standard. Sometimes there is. Let that have been like, some dude, that killed like, some girl, then they'll be like "LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!", but a girl, she can cry when she wants...pretty, probably...Dang! Now this dude got a freaking...freaking X right on his freaking forehead!''
208* TheDreaded: Geras from VideoGame/MortalKombat11 becomes this to him.
209* DrugsAreBad: He has on at least two occasions made a joke about doing drugs, only to immediately drop the name of this trope.
210* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Everything about his original videos, from his weird straightened hair, to the fact that most of his videos were vlogs and comedy skits.
211* EpicFail: A master of this.
212* EveryoneHasStandards: Two examples from VideoGame/MortalKombatX and [[VideoGame/MortalKombat11 11]] respectively:
213** He played a match against D'Vorah as Shinnok. After beating her, he used a fatality that turned out to be...a little overboard. Keep in mind that Cory absolutely loathes D'Vorah for being a big traitor.
214-->'''Cory:''' Yo, she was [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder downright nasty]] but I don't even think she deserved [[DisproportionateRetribution all that]].
215** In [=MK11=], he's shocked when [[spoiler: [[MakesSenseInContext Sonya shoots Kano's past self to kill Present Kano]]]].
216-->'''Cory:''' [[CryForTheDevil That's sad...]]
217[[/folder]]
218
219[[folder:F-J]]
220* FailedASpotCheck: He tends to skip over instructions or not read them all, which funnily bites him in the butt later. Also happens during games when he fails to notice something that's a threat to him.
221* FailureMontage: A playthrough for a particularly difficult game will inevitably end up becoming this.
222* {{Foreshadowing}}: Upon seeing his future self in ''My Future Self'' video:
223-->'''Cory:''' [[spoiler: Did you get in a car accident?]]
224* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Cory often invokes this to get people to like his videos and subscribe to him.
225* FunnyAfro
226* FutureMeScaresMe: PlayedForLaughs in his My Future Self video.
227** He also tends to refer to his future self editing the videos and jokes about how hard it is to argue with your future self.
228* GagCensor: Recently, he's been using these frequently along with a SoundEffectBleep to give the impression that he cussed for laughs.
229* {{Gasshole}}: A RunningGag with him is mentioning that he farted, often when getting jumpscared. There was one time where he even sprayed air freshener before playing a horror game because [[GenreSavvy he knows he'll get scared]] and fart.
230* GenkiGuy
231* GoshDangItToHeck: Cory as an individual does not swear, and as a result does not swear in any of his videos.
232* GracefulLoser: He's a SoreLoser most of the time (see below). However, there will be times where he'll acknowledge that an antagonist did well. One example is when he almost to [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin Senpai]] in his second track.
233* GratuitousJapanese: See BilingualBonus above.
234* GreatWhiteHunter: Seems to be the character of Cory's alter ego, [=Bambikilla69=].

236* HeroesLoveDogs: He loves his Siberian Husky Sam.
237* HesBack: After a year of inconsistent uploads in 2016 to early 2017 and long break periods, Cory returned in mid 2017 and has been going strong ever since, even going for Double Uploads if fans give his videos enough likes in an hour.
238* HiddenDepths: He's a very good rapper.
239* HumbleHero: Despite putting on the act of having an immense ego, Cory is actually a very humble and down-to-earth guy who acknowledges when he's messed up and always thanks his fans for his success.
240* HurricaneOfPuns: He doesn't have a single video without puns. Even titles sometimes are puns.
241* HypocriticalHumor: In one of his Call Of Duty videos playing team deathmatch, he sees one of his teammates jumping off the edge and calls him and idiot. [[GilliganCut The video then]] [[LampshadeHanging cuts back]] to [[HypocrisyNod Cory]] [[SelfDeprecation doing the exact same thing a few moments ago]].
242* IDontLikeYouAndYouDontLikeMe: He sings this line in his Baldi Rap.
243* IHaveNoIdeaWhatImDoing: He often runs into this when starting a new game he has no idea about. More often than not, it's [=FNaF=] fangames that cause this.
244* IHatePastMe: Hate is a strong word, but whenever he reacts to his old videos, he'll spend most of it cringing, though [[ActuallyPrettyFunny he's capable of finding humor in it]].
245* InopportuneVoiceCracking: Cory will lampshade ([[BerserkButton often angrily]]) when his voice cracks.
246* ItsPersonal:
247** He declares this in ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' against Senpai after the latter's FreudianThreat.
248** His beef with Montgomery Gator in ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach'' becomes so personal that Cory takes special delight in getting rid of him.

258* MadnessMantra: Take your pills, Cory. Take your pills...

267* OhCrap: It's always funny to see when Cory realizes that he messed up.

[[GameOver You can guess what happened next]].
268* OrphanedSeries: A lot. Ones that comes to mind are [=DDLC=], VideoGame/FiveNightsAtWarios and [=MK11=] Aftermath DLC.
269[[/folder]]
270
271[[folder:P-T]]

278* ReligiousBruiser: Loves playing action games, and is an avid and outspoken Christian. Most of his outros are accompanied by [[AsTheGoodBookSays a verse from the Bible]].
279* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He goes on one after [[spoiler: Taka's death]] in VideoGame/GhostOfTsushima, which he took very hard. This poignant line pretty much sums it up:
280-->'''Cory:''' ''(slaughtering enemies)'' I AM WHAT YOU CREATED!
281* RunningGag:
282** Cory boasting about his bravery, which results in a slow motion playback of him screaming to seconds earlier.

291** Whenever he introduces his plant, Momo, her intro is played almost immediately afterward.
292** His camera turning off during gameplay videos.
293* SayMyName: Why can he do what he does? Cuz his name is Cory Kenshin.
294* ScaryBlackMan: Generally downplayed since he's usually goofy and outgoing...until he goes AxCrazy or something [[BewareTheNiceOnes genuinely angers him]].
295* ScreamingAtSquick: While Cory does this all the time, his most iconic instance would be his horrified reaction to the creepy appearance of [[Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys William Afton]] in [[https://youtu.be/gvOalYppgNU?t=1143 this video]] by WebAnimation/SquimpusMcGrimpus.
296* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: All of the time. His screams has also been compared to [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry Tom]]'s.
297* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: In episode 50 of Spooky Scary Sunday, his reaction to the titular intruder in "[[WebVideo/MandelaCatalogue Intruder Alert]]" whispering ''"[[ParanoiaFuel I am inside your home]]"'' [[invoked]] is to pause the video, throw his headphones off, and leave the room. [[SubvertedTrope Then he immediately comes back to finish the video]].
298* SelfDeprecation: All the time in his videos.
299** He delivered a TakeThat to [=YouTubers=] as whole in his Google Self video while making fun of his past self.
300-->'''Cory:''' Nobody told me. Nobody told me to do this. [=YouTubers=] be talking all that bullcrap ''(laughs, then starts mocking his past self)'' "A few of my friends told me-" Nah. ''(laughs again)'' You ain't slick, big fella. [[FollowTheLeader You saw somebody do it and was like, "let me get them views"]]. YouTubers be like, "Yeah, I saw in the comments you guys wanted me to-" Nah.
301* SensoryAbuse: There's a lot of flashing going on in his edits and sudden loud yells and noises.
302* ShipperOnDeck:
303** After seeing them having moments, he ships [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX Takeda and Jacqui]].
304** He also ships Rin and Seitaro from ''VideoGame/MermaidSwamp'' and Miki and Shinji from ''VideoGame/{{Paranoiac}}''.
305* ShoutOut:
306** Upon realizing that Atreus can shapeshift into a bear during his playthrough of ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'', Cory [[https://youtu.be/EqkX3IPwedA?t=2436 remarks]] that he's a "freaking [[Literature/{{Animorphs}} Animorph]]".
307** When reading the title of a chapter in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'' "All In The Family", he adds "And I ain't talking about [[Series/AllInTheFamily the sitcom]]".
308* SignatureHeadgear: Sometimes wears a beanie or a cap.
309* SigningOffCatchPhrase: "Subscribe today to join the [[FanCommunityNickname Samurai]] and until next time my brothers and sisters."
310* SlasherSmile: Supports this a lot when going AxCrazy.

312* SoMuchForStealth: In recent videos, Cory expresses his dislike for {{StealthBasedMission}}s as he prefers to go head-on. Anytime he tries to do stealth, it doesn't go well.
313* SoreLoser: Most of the time, he's pretty determined to beat any game, no matter how hard. There have been times where he couldn't beat a game and it made him very salty. Special mentions go to Website/{{Akinator}}, VideoGame/WelcomeToTheGame, Creator/PuppetCombo's Nun Massacre.[[note]]Though he beat the latter in a second video two years later.[[/note]]
314* TheStraightMan: Cory generally plays this role in collabs, though he'll tune in with his own jokes too.
315* StunnedSilence: At the end of his ''OFF'' Let's Play, when [[spoiler: he sees The Batter's true form.]]
316** In Spooky Scary Sunday #037, after the end of the video "Secret Formula", he stares in silence for several seconds, then heads to the "Delete channel" button.
317* TemptingFate: Oh, way, way too often it happens to poor Cory.
318* ThatsWhatSheSaid: Appears as a FreezeFrameBonus in his playthrough of ''Alcoholic Simulator'', after he exclaims [[ItMakesSenseInContext "Why is it not going in?"]].
319* ThatCameOutWrong: Through his excitement, he can say a lot of suggestive things without meaning it.
320* ThisIsGonnaSuck: He mentioned in an episode of Geometry Dash that he has to reassure himself every single time he gotta record it. Also generally shows up anytime he senses that something is gonna be tedious.
321* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Swedish Fish and Oreos, and when playing ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin2'', the green goop he likes to call Limeade.
322* TranquilFury: He can go through this just as often as he would explode in anger.

326* VictoryDance: Cory will especially does this if victory music is also included.
327* VoiceOfTheLegion:
328** Often uses this effect to try and scare fans into liking his videos.
329** He also used this effect while reading [[spoiler:Vinnie]]'s dialogue pre-Final Night in ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtCandys3''.
330** In his video of ''Friday Night Funkin'''s Week 6, when he reads out [[spoiler: The Spirit]]'s lines, the audio is edited so that there is an echo, as if multiple voices are speaking at once.
331* WhamLine: "When we reach 10 million, ''if'' we reach 10 million, I will be announcing my retirement, from Website/YouTube." {{Subverted}} when he returned from a long hiatus and revealed he wasn't retiring after all.
332* WhatDidIDoLastNight: When he played ''I woke up next to her again'', he makes a sketch in the intro about this trope happening to him.
333* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Cory has a strong fear of deep water. Especially evident in his videos for VideoGame/{{Subnautica}} and VideoGame/{{Raft}}.
334* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Eight words: The world is not better off without you.
335** YouAreNotAlone: Also goes for the above entry.
336* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Oftentimes his reaction to something ridiculous or unexpected.
337* YoungerThanTheyLook: One of his pet peeves is being mistaken for being older than he actually is. When he played How-Old.net, the website kept making him go up, much to his chagrin. Mentioned again in his Googling Myself video when he searches for "Is [=CoryxKenshin=] married?" and comes across a tweet where he said he got asked if he is married and it bothered him because it implied that he's older than he actually is. He even comes across the aforementioned video when he seaches for his age. He even asks the audience to leave their thoughts in the comments.
