I sometimes make stupid shit.

—Cory the Norm

Cory the Norm is a YouTube Pooper who started making videos around 2017. His videos are notable for heavy use of reference humor and frequent masking effects. Many of his videos are entries for YTP collabs.

Tropes that apply to his videos:

• Black Comedy: Character deaths are frequently used as a punchline.
  • “Arnold Dies at the End” contains several jokes when Arnold removes his helmet on Pluto.
• Death by Adaptation: Arnold dies at the end of “Arnold Dies at the End”. Rather than being taken back to Earth, his frozen body shatters to pieces.
• Given Name Reveal: “Robbie’s Rotten Adventure” reveals Robbie’s full name as “Robert Rodham Rotten” on his Villain’s License.
• Mushroom Samba: Peter gives Homer drug-laced kerosene in “Peter Grimpson Starts World War 🅱️,”.
• Precision F-Strike: Invoked when Palpatine realizes he will land on the Death Star’s conveniently-placed Self-Destruct Button in "Papa Palpatine Is a Fraud."
  Palpatine: Oh FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
• Reference Overdosed: Frequently invoked.
  • A self-aware moment in “Arnold Dies at the End” when Arnold removes his helmet.
  Ms. Frizzle: Am I glad he’s frozen in there and that we’re out here! And that he’s the sheriff!”
  Eggman: Wait, what’s that from? You guys do so many goddamn references, I can’t-
  Sonic throws a brick at him.
  Sonic: Skooks.
• Riding the Bomb: Bart Simpson rides Kim Jong-un’s bomb until Suction Cup Man throws him off.
• Sensory Abuse: At least once per video.
• Take That!: Semi-frequent brief jabs at various targets.
  • Donald Trump introduces himself as “B-List Celebrity and D-List President.” This is immediately followed by mocking Alec Baldwin’s portrayal of Trump.
• Title Drop: Suction Cup Man invokes this.
  Suction Cup Man: Let's start World War 🅱️!"
  Peter: Ah! Ah! He said it!
• World War Whatever: “Peter Grimpson Starts World War 🅱️.”
