Go To

  • Adorkable: Black and Nerdy? Check. Full of energy? Double check. Nice Guy? You bet.
  • Archive Panic: As of 2022, he has over 1.6k videos with the length varying from 10 minutes to 2-3 hours!
  • Awesome Ego: Cory often boasts about his capabilities as a gamer, and it can either make for awesome moments where he backs it up, or for funny moments where he's instantly proven wrong.
  • Awesome Music:
    • Any Boastful Rap he comes up with.
    • Most of the music he used in his outros also qualify.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • One commentator made a joke about Cory's bad driving in a game called Beware, referencing the car accident Cory got in in 2016. Cory let it slide because it was Actually Pretty Funny.
    • An unintentional example. While playing Choo-Choo Charles, Cory runs into a guy named Ronny, who needs to retrieve some files at the top of a tower. After finishing the mission, he jokes that the player character looked like a monkey climbing the tower, causing Cory enters a Tranquil Fury stance...note 
  • Fandom Rivalry: In one of his SSS, he reacted to an animation of Nikocado Avocado by MeatCanyon. At the end of his reaction, Cory directed some thoughtful advice to Nick about the consequences of pursuing online fame. Nick, however, made a reaction and accused Cory of using him for clout and being disrespectful and even insulted his fanbase. Needless to say, the comment section is filled with angry Samurai and the only reason why they didn't get too aggressive is because Cory himself commented on Nick's video and asked his fans not to meet hate with hate.
  • Friendly Fandoms: Any viewer of Cory's channel is mostly likely also a fan of Jacksepticeye, Dashie Games or Markiplier.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: In his Future Self video, Cory jokingly asks his future self if he got in a car accident because he was so ugly. A few years later, Cory did get in a car accident that he thankfully survived. This is also Hilarious in Hindsight, depending on who you ask.
    • His RIP Etika video becomes even sadder when you find out that Cory reacted to an Etika clip in his third Try Not To Laugh challenge, a year before his death.
    Cory: I wanna meet that dude.
  • He Really Can Act: Cory is not an actor by any means (he even joked that no one would take it seriously if he was cast for a project), but any time he takes on a persona for a skit or does a voice for a character in a game, he really sells it.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: As stated above, him making a joke about his future self becoming disfigured as a result of a car accident is either hilarious or sad.
  • I Knew It!: Some people correctly predicted that Cory would make an appearance in the FNAF movie.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • "What they throw, low cee blow!"
    • "Freak you think you thought!"
    • As you can imagine, Cory's long hiatuses have become the subject of many jokes in the fanbase.
  • Memetic Loser: Cory's chair has become the subject of many jokes with the fans.
  • Never Live It Down: Although he has gotten better at balancing uploads and taking breaks now, you're still bound to find some comments joking about his past hiatuses. Cory seems to know this as he makes jokes about it as well, usually adding Let Us Never Speak of This Again as well for bonus funny points.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: Both his thumbnails and video edits.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: While Cory's channel is generally kid-friendly (being run by a Christian who doesn't curse), some of his jokes are actually subtly dirty, not to mention the occasional spice he runs into in games.
