Go To

A prolific YouTube creator who got his start on the big screen and became more well-known for his internet videos. His videos are about his daily life and his adventures, but he's most well-known for creating The Mean Kitty Song about his cat Sparta. He also currently hosts The FIZZ on television alongside Jessica "JP" Payne.

Until recently, he lived in California with his two cats. He was married for a time to Stephanie Roby, but they divorced and a year later he became involved with Kate Elliot, a friend of his. After about a year, they split up due to some changes in Kate's life, but they remain friends.

Cory and his cats have since moved to Anchorage, Alaska along with Cory's current girlfriend, Kristen and their dog, Penny. Cory and Kristen were married in spring 2015. Their first child, Chell Marie Williams, was born in June of 2016.

His three channels are: SMPFilms (short films and music videos), TheMeanKitty (about his cats, obviously) and Live Each Day (his vlogs).

Tropes present (in both Cory's videos and Kate's vlogs):

  • Adult Child: Cory doesn't give a shit how old he is, he's gonna live it up however he damn well pleases. Even if it includes childish things like wearing cartoon t-shirts or playing silly games in the grocery store.
  • Artifact Title: Sparta developed his reputation as a "mean kitty" due to his mischief as a kitten, but Cory kept calling him and Loki "the mean kitties" even after they stopped being so mean.
  • Big Eater: Cory's no slouch in the eating department, and neither are the pets. Penny and Sparta in particular are fiends for treats.
  • Cats Are Mean: Subverted. "The Mean Kitty Song" mentions that Sparta's just trying to play, and aside from typical bratty cat behavior now and then he and Loki are pretty nice.
  • Cheek Copy: Did this in a video segment of the first "Find Sparta" interactive game.
  • Cute Kitten: Sparta and Loki, though they're not exactly kittens anymore.
  • Gamebooks: Did two of these, both for the purpose of searching for Sparta.
  • Gasshole: Cory is known for his frequent farting. This just about sums it up. Loki's also said to be rather gassy.
  • Geek: Kate is a big fan of Pokémon and Disney movies, especially the princesses.
  • Kick the Dog: Subverted; he kicks Ding Ding around in a video but the dog is clearly enjoying it.
  • Lethal Chef: Has stated many times that he does not know how to cook.
  • Large Ham: Cory himself. Some of his friends from past videos are no slouch at this, either.
  • Love at First Sight: He basically fell for Kristen the moment he set eyes on her.
  • Mundane Made Awesome: Grocery shopping. No, really. The video's been taken down, but Cory and Kate basically made a field trip out of going to the market.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Cory rarely calls Sparta by his name anymore, only "Poo" or "Moo". Subverted with Loki, who has a ton of nicknames but also answers to his given name.
  • Precious Puppy: Ding Ding, Kate's puppy. His and Kristen's dog Penny isn't exactly a puppy, but is super cute nonetheless.
  • Squick: In-universe, Cory is grossed out by a talking Potty Time Elmo.
  • Stock Animal Diet: Subverted. Cory tries to give his cats milk but they won't touch it. Penny, on the other hand, loves it.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Cory loves his coconut water, French chocolates and honey.
  • Troll: Loves teasing his audience. His cats, in turn, have trolled him quite a few times.
