- There was a HUGE sale going on at the Petco in Wasilla, Alaska for their grand opening and I had a coupon for 20% off my entire purchase! So I couldn't help but go a little crazy. The timing was perfect! We needed food, litter, new beds, cat trees and a precision feeder for Penny anyway.

WHAT THE HELL, PEOPLE? What was wrong with the new intro? I get it was a little long, but it was really nice, and I personally liked the song. Cory, if 40% didn't like it, that means that up to 60% DID like it. Majority should rule. Use it if YOU like it.
60% is hardly a passing percentage in grade school. So I kind of took it that way. It just means that I can do a lot better.
DudeLikeHELLA We love it. It goes with the whole situation. It will grow on the rest of the 40% after a while. You don't need to change it if you like it!
DudeLikeHELLA This isn't grade school though, Cory. 30% of that 40% are probably in grade school themselves. I'd say 8-10% of that 40 had legitimate reasons for not liking and the others are lazy viewers who want instant gratification for nothing.
Cory, I've watched you grow and mature since moving to Alaska. It's been pretty nice. You're moving along nicely and your vlogs have been better than they have been in awhile. The question is, is what type of audience and mentality do want to pander to?
DudeLikeHELLA Noo, don't take it away. I freaking loved that new Intro!
I agree its petfect
Cory. You should seriously keep the new intro. It's a meaning of a new life in alaska!! Old intro was for California. You're on bigger and better things bud. Go with your heart. Stay true to yourself
Agreed
I think he did good. The new intro is there for his channel for unsubscribed visitors. It's perfect. It's too long to be in every video, and as people do marathon runs they'd get real sick of it after the 100th video.
Jon Davis he could just put it at the end problem solved...
I still say, use the new intro, as an outro song!! I LOVED the song, but it was a bit long as an intro. I like short intros! Use it as an Outro!!! That way it can still be in every single video!!
hey
This!
Good idea
Totally agree :D it's perfect as an outro :D
Monica Svee This way we all get to enjoy the song as we want to!! :) That is why we have a song in our outro! People love it!
I loved the new intro! So keep it! The 40% can survive with it!
Blizzard Wolf as a member of the 40%, i agree with this guy :P
its just to long.
Well maybe he can cut up some bits... :/
yeah, i mean he cut the old intro and only kept the last line
I agree with this. I mean really, 30 seconds is too long? The 40% can deal with it! I say keep it Cory! A new chapter of your life needs a new song that captures the essence of it, and in my opinion the new intro does just that!
I loved the new opening. People are just not good with change, do what makes you feel happy.
You are correct the old into is a part of your old life.. You need a new one for your new adventure In Alaska with Kristin. It's your life.. if others don't like it to bad.. if they unsub then they are sad individuals and need a cool adventure of their own to make an intro for. You are happier then you have even been and the new intro shows that.
On this matter Corey should just do what he wants. If scrapping the new intro made him that sad, he just needs to say "Fuck it" and keep the new intro,
I think, the new intro was just a little bit too long. I love the short "Dude like Hella". It's short and has a nice tone. Just shorten the new intro and we're fine again. I just don't like watching 30 seconds of Intro every time
I love the new intro, it's amazing! I really hope people let go of the past. People are constantly changing and we should embrace it. People would complain anyway if he did what he used to do.
***** Agreed, it was too long, and I found the song to be annoying as well.
Epicvids8
Get a life.. Go troll somewhere else... No one cares what you think any way with your all caps shouting rant... LMFAO.. what a child..
. unsub then you won't have to worry about it.
I liked the intro!
Me too.
Yeah it was actually really good, i kinda feel bad for Cory he looked disappoint
Mr Williams, I've watched your vlogs since "the skipping stone on the ice pond" showed up, which caused me to spend a whole day watching your trip and now your Life in Alaska vlogs. What I'm most impressed and appreciative of is that you're doing this on your own terms. You put yourself out there for the world to see knowing full well there will be critics, both in your present and past life. However, you are truly full of joy and happiness and as a spectator to these great moments, I thank you.
I have to say this New intro or Welcome you've put together is pretty awesome and a reflection of your growth and direction of your heart, therefore as much as I can appreciate you wanting to please your family of fans, if you're not true to yourself then you do a disservice not only to us, your "family" but most importantly - Cory.
You have gained a lot since your move to Alaska, more than any of us can truly appreciate. You have great instincts. You got it right when you decided you needed to make a change, and this new intro is very right because it's a reflection of YOU.
P.S. Rip that "rearview mirror" of life that some people keep trying to make you look at and keep moving my friend, not that you don't already know ;)
Cory! 40% does not equal a majority!
thats almost half of the people that watch though
STRIK3GOLD He's still right though. 40% is a minority.
I didnt say he was wrong :^) Ill give you an example. If you have a company and you're selling one item, you want your customers to be pleased with your product. The more people that like your product = the better end result. So if we put it in this sense Cory is just trying to please his audience and making sure he can do the best he can do :^)
I'm pretty sure Cory has basic math skills and is aware that 40% isn't a majority.
I live in MN, and we are about to get a foot of snow where i live. There isn't any difference between the coldness of Alaska and Minnesota, you might at times drops lower then we do, and you don't get much more if even that in Alaska unless you are really far north there.
As a fellow video editor (now semi-retired) I understand that you could sift through hours of video in creating the new intro. Sadly, in that process you had to leave a lot of great material on the digital cutting room floor. But hey, that's what we as editors do: Cut, Slash and Burn! That process is much tougher when it's your own footage and your own vision. I do agree that 10 seconds is about the max for an intro. Basically you just grab the viewer's attention and establish your brand (name). Be concise! Also, now that you've received some feedback don't think of the 40% as "hating" the new intro. Just play around with it a little more. Keep up the great work, Cory (& Kristen)!!
... do what you love, Cory. If you love the new intro, use it. You're doing these videos because of your passion for it in the first place, right? That's what's made your videos awesome. You start trying to please everyone, you're ultimately gonna end up pleasing no one, especially not yourself.
Love the new kitty trees! Loki first up in both of them, at least on camera! I can't wait till you show us pictures of them laying on the top, looking all satisfied with themselves and the world. I'm glad Penny finally got in her new dog bed! She is such a sweetheart!
Don't be sad, I really liked the new intro. Remember 60% of us liked it. People are always so afraid of change. Keep up the awesome videos I love watching you guys explore my favorite state!!!
it does not matter who likes or dislikes your intro, because its your intro corey!!!! it is to make you happy, these videos are yours and no one elses. do what you think is best. love ya! and will always be a fan and watch your work!!! :)
You are right about Anchorage being warmer due to the bay it sits next to. That is due to the ocean currents coming up from Japan being warm and why California beaches have colder water.
As for your new intro, I am one of the 60% who does like it and glad it is being used at least for a channel intro.
No worries about the new intro. It's cool and fun. People are just resistant to change. They'll come around.
Whatever makes you happy.... I will watch it. Old intro/new intro/yet-unseen-intro. You're creative -- it's all good.
I actually thought it was long but didn't mind it, Cory. Do WHATEVER YOU WANT!! If you like or want it, THEN USE IT. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY
I have no editing skill, but from the intro you already made, keep the last 10 or 12 sec, "DUDELIKEHELLA!" and the fart and it would be perfect!
I agree with Daniel, here. I wouldn't know the first thing about editing, but shorten the 'new' intro, mash it into the "DudeLikeHella!", and I personally love the "Whoa, I gotta do that again!" clip. But that's just my two cents. I love whatever you do, Dude!
Dude I loved the new intro. It's your vlog, your rules. That new intro reflects your new life, your new start, new home and we love you no matter what. Nice to see the kitties and Penny doing good. I hope you get time to get to see more scenery.
1:51 Not just the Turdinator... the Turinator II. There's an original floating (heh heh) around.
Cory, I thought the new intro was very nicely done and perfectly suited to your current stage in life. 40% may not have liked it, but 60% did, and it's not going to keep us from tuning in, so it gets my vote if you decide to stick with it. You can't please everyone and you seem to be having the time of your life...run with it, buddy!!!
The 40% isn't part of Coryzandria,
shame
My dad beats me when im a sleep.
I liked the new intro, but its nice to see you are listening to some of your fans and showing you care what they think, even if its only 40% that didn't like it.
Its stuff like that and reading all the mail, and replying to comments that makes this channel one of the best, keep up the great work!!
Cory - your new intro is amazing. Whats most important is that YOU like it!! I think it captures what the channel is about perfectly. You've been through a lot, and now you are so incredibly happy with life and it shows in the new intro. I think you should leave it!
Here in Whitehorse we are having an incredibly warm fall and early winter. Looks like Alaska is too. I am hoping this winter will be mild, the locals say that if the summer was wet then the winter will be mild, warm, sunny summer then a severe winter. We had an incredibly wet summer, so hopefully an easy winter. Would be nice for you guys if your first winter is easy :)
As long as YOU like the intro, that's all that should matter. Personally, I loved it.
You worked really hard on it so don't apologize to that 40% who didn't enjoy it :)
Hey I liked it especially at the end with the rock skipping noise !!!!
I adored the new intro, but I really love the idea of featuring different fan made ones. It's a great opportunity to connect even more with your subscribers and see how people view you and your life in different ways, and I'm sure they will be jam packed with love and happy moments to make you smile :)
Aw, you're such a good daddy, Cory. They all looked so happy with their new gear. And Penny finally got inside her little bed. Hey, why doesn't she have a collar with a tag? She should have one just in case. The cats do...
I loved the original intro and it always got me pumped up for the vlogs but Shaun killed it, his sounded lighter, friendlier and that's what Cory is, just a tall hairy man of positivity haha. Either way, i'm glad Shaun's got used because it actually does suit the intro to your channel.
Great to see the cats again. Glad they are doing well.
So happy to see the fur-babies getting spoiled! If the cats don't steal the big bed from Penny, maybe they'll all end up snuggling in it together! (One can hope.) I bet the cats really miss their tall tower. You can get another soon, I hope. Or figure out their favorite room and totally catify it! So cool!
I love the new beginning too.
You have NOTHING to apologize for ANYTHING. Its YOUR channel. Use what YOU like.
Cory, Thank you so much for all your video's. they bring a smile on my face every time I watch them. Have been watching you for I think 5 years now and it amazes me that while your channel grows bigger and bigger, you always stay the same person. Your videos have helped me a lot, they brightend my days up when life wasn't all that fun. Thanks, Cory. Thanks a lot.
Cory, honestly don't let something like this make you unhappy or stressed. Nomatter what, we will always watch your videos and support you :) I really dont like seeing you unhappy, please dont let things like this stress you out!
Are you kiddin! That new intro fits your Alaska life perfectly. I was a little sad to not hear the frozen line in their because I thought it was perfect. I mean look at you snow on the ground and you were walkin around with like two layers on. I mean really the Cold didn't bother you!!
Comes right down to it Cory, it's what makes you and Kristen happy, there will never be pleasing everybody in this world...And I thought the new intro rocked too and I am 62 :-) LOL...Some just don't deal well with changes...Kind of like most cats and some dogs...
Do what you feel is right, Cory. These are your videos. We're just along for the ride. :-)
I liked the new intro! And you worked so hard on it. Don't let the haters get you down! So 40% didn't like it, that means 60% did! That's a majority, my friend! But I love the idea to have viewers submit their ideas- it makes your viewers even more of a part of what you're doing here.
I loved the new intro! Bring it back!
My husband and I loved your intro... it makes us want to move to Alaska even more!! It is long, but I say if it makes you happy you go with it!
Cory, if you like the new intro then that's really all that matters. Didn't you say that DudeLikeHELLA is for you as well as us? For you to look back on when you're older and remind yourself of good times? Who cares if some of your subscribers don't like something you do when you're really into it? Do what makes you happy, man; don't let people who don't like change get you down.
I agree Kagehime, I could not have said it better myself. Cory, ultimately this is your journey we are honored that you are so gracious in sharing part of your life with us. People who relate to you will keep watching and we well be happy for you in your new life. I think that anytime you have a transition in to a new phase of life you will find that some people will not be able to continue on your path, but you will also find others that are ready to walk beside you to the next phase. Hang in there, and thanks for being your sweet self. (hugs)
I also agree. Cory, you can't please everyone. Change happens and guess what? We have to get used to it.
Cory NOOO I LOVE the new intro and people who are that upset about a 30 second intro or whatever are just too afraid of small changes. Oh and that intro was NOT any longer than Kates old song or Ctfxc's old "now it's time to sit down and view.." intro and nobody EVER complained about those.
Keep living the dream, dude. Don't worry about preoccupying your days with editing cos a few people don't like change. Go outside and live the adventure! Don't let us chain you to your desk..That said the challenge you've set sounds awesome :) We love what you do and totally enjoy seeing Alaska through yours and Kristen's eyes. Hugs from the UK
We love your vlogs man, we definitely look to you for inspiration! Keep up the awesome work!
The new intro was awesome. Don't listen to the other 40%. Legit it is a good intro.
I love the new intro!
I liked the new into.
People are so afraid of changes. Use the one YOU like. It's an intro representing YOU.
SO YOU choose!
Me and my husband loved the new intro and 30 seconds is hardly the longest intro on youtube. Id keep it for awhile. people can always skip ahead if they dont have 30 seconds.
All of your followers are so happy to see how new changes in your life made you happier. That's why people should understand and accept new intro if you'll change to it. Because this is a part of your new happy life. :-)
The New Intro is great! Great change for new beginnings :)
I loved the new intro! Though can understand why people would say it was to long. I also am a California transplant, grew up in Orinda (Bay Area). I love Alaska and have lived here more than half my life now. Your Vlogs have reminded me how awesome my home is! I am sure I am not the only person that feels that way. So, keep up the great work!
I liked the intro and I'm glad you didn't trash it so I can watch it when I want to. I'm glad the storm isn't as bad up around you as the news people down here in the lower 48 are making sound like it is. I sure do enjoy you vlogs and look forward to the next!
CORY. I LOVED IT. Seriously the majority of people did!! We honestly don't mind sitting through it. Or at least I don't, I enjoyed it!
Hey Cory :) It was nice to see the kitties in your video. So cute! About the new intro, you said you worked so hard on it and liked it so much, then you should keep it. Do what makes you happy. Those who don't like it could always skip through it. I think it really showed how happy and content you are now. I've watched and enjoyed your videos on your channels for several years, keep up the great work!
We got a ton of snow over night... Thanks a bunch Alaska. lol :P
I loved the new intro and didn't notice how long it was.... mind you, I sit through 1 min long pre-roll ads too. I rarely hit Skip Ad.
CORY! I totally get you want a new intro! You should just do the first few seconds of it - the first skipping of the rock on ice and that happy face of yours and then 'I gotta do that again!' with that amazing laugh of yours! It's a new intro and it's TOTALLY YOU!!!
Like I said when I first started watching you not too long ago, I've never been interested much in vloggers.. But your positive outlook is too contagious.
Cory, I thought this would happen when I was reading some of the comments on the last vlog. You are such a sweetie. I know you care about us out here but it IS your life. You must have the intro you really want. As others have said, many people aren't good with change. Maybe people should try to see it from your point of view. Your life has changed - if their's had they might want a new intro too! While I appreciate you caring, please try not to worry quite so much about what others think (I know that's easy to say). Anyway whatever you do many of us will still enjoy watching, bless your heart :)
Yeah! The new intro was good.. maybe people thought that it was too long or that it wasn't at the very beginning of the video, idk... the actual video is the most important part so I'm not complaining. Good to see you being happy in Alaska :D
Cory, in regards to the intro thing, you could always alternate them. Like, since it's about 30 seconds, you could use it on videos that are 15+ minutes. And use the old intro for videos under 10 minutes.
40% seems to be an exaggeration buddy, don't be too down on yourself! It was a good intro and I think more than 60% would agree. The only criticism I have of it, and one you've acknowledged, is that it's a tad bit too long. What I like about the current intro, other than that it sounds good, is that it's short and sweet.
I love Game Of Thrones. I love the intro of Game Of Thrones because I like the theme music and I like the map of Westeros. It's a solid intro. HOWEVER... after the first two or three times of seeing it I skipped it every time. With an intro like your current one, I don't have to skip it because it's currently at the intro sweet spot of less than 10 seconds. Your new intro you made ISN'T bad, just suffers from long intro syndrome.
I know how proud you were of the new intro. I love it. I love seeing you so happy! I say keep the intro and let people get used to it. You dont want to sit thtough it? Fast forward! I know how hard you worked on it and I say USE it!!!!! 👍😁
The new intro is so happy and full of life, i love the new one so much more!!
I actually liked the new intro! I think the reason why people "hate" it is because they don't like change. You should just use the new intro.
I'm 16, I live in New Zealand, and I love this channel so much! I actually plan to move to Alaska one day to abouts where you are because the place just looks so beautiful!
I am the only one here in Wa State excited about the cold front coming. BRING IT. We might even get snow on Thursday!! Kids are really really hoping we do.
What happened to all the cat trees you used to have? Were they not able to fit in the moving truck?
Yup. He had too much stuff.
in one of his vids he did say he had to leave a bunch of stuff behind, mabey he just needed to get som enew stuff cause its a new house!!
Hey Cabbie! Yeah, I had too much stuff and the trees were pretty used anyhow.
DudeLikeHELLA The cats must be loving the new ones, though! :)
DudeLikeHELLA hey Cory you want to do a collab vlog with me just idea
I absolutely LOVED the new intro music!!! Bring it back please #DudelikeHELLA!
I loved the new intro it describes your life in Alaska and it does not matter who doesn't like it it's about what you like
Don't let people's negativity get to you! If you like the intro keep it! I like it too, though I did say I'd miss the old one. That's only because I've been watching for years and it's a sentimental thing...yea. lol I'm never good with change. But I did love the new intro.
I loved the new intro too!! I'm glad you didn't totally scrap it, cause it's really great!
Cory, After watching this video and hearing your concerns about the newer Dude Like Hella intro, I downloaded it and modified it. I've uploaded a modified version for you. I hope you like it.
Your new intro is perfect! If 40% didn't liked it, 60% loved it... That count, you can't make everyone happy...
And com'on, too long? Are you kidding? It gave me a smile on my face when I watched it ! You both looks so happy!
ten seconds is a perfect happy medium between a 30 second intro and the current 2 second one. so there's def room to have something new and improved, and i'm not particularly attached to either, i just want you to have something you're happy with. i really hope this contest yields something awesome for you.
So much room for activities in that new doggy bed! haha
I like Shawn's song and love the idea of you using it for the "welcome" video.
I really love the new intro! i think it fit the vlogs and the way that they feel and who cory is. I'm glad it's at least the intro video but seriously it was amazing!
I loved the new intro that was created even if it was 30 seconds long. I was too excited and enjoying it too much to even notice. But having it a welcome intro to your channel works too. I live in southern states and this week it is supposed to get really cold. It is going to be fun for me. I love the cold weather. I was wondering about the Wednesday bear, guess he hasn't come back as you said. I look forward to more vlogs when they come out. You are a great guy Cory! Big inspiration to me!
Come on Cory! I voted yes on the new intro! You need a new intro, for the new change and with kristin, and all. 40% probably disliked it, but 60% liked it! Can't make everyone happy!! =)
The new intro was literally perfect !
I LOVED THE INTRO!!! Nooo I love the new one!!!
Don't apologize, it's your channel, if you love it then use it!
New intro was awesome!
What about an intro that says all the places you've lived in then screams dude like hella at the end
Cool idea!
Way cool idea!
I'm in Minnesota. It's cold as shit here. We're about the same with the jet stream's wind. Except Juno AK is usually warmer because we get the real blast along with winnipeg.
Dude! You don't have to apologize for having an intro you like! Do what you wanna do. You don't have to please everyone. I, personally, loved the new intro. It was cute. :)
Keep the intro if it makes you happy! It's YOUR channel! People can be so rude sometimes.. It wasn't a bad intro.
Lovin these Alaska vlogs Corey! I'm down in Lethbridge, Alberta (about 2 hours north of the Montana border) and we just started getting a snow storm today. It looks pretty awesome outside right now. Have a great day!
Hey Cory! :) Im a huge fan of your videos. I discovered your chanel while I lived in Houston Texas. Im 17 years old and live in Switzerland now :) Im a huuge outdoor fan and love to see someone like you share their love to nature. I would love to see you go fishing for salmon! :) much love and greets from Bern Switzerland
Don't focus too much on what's the best intro/outro or whatever.. Don't get caught up in all those technical details.. the most important thing is the content of the vlogs and your enthusiasm to share your wacky adventures.. that's the reason your rock skipping video got viral.. it's all about you sharing authentic moments of discovery and having fun that inspires people.
A big part of the appeal to this one is that it reminds me of the "old" you, it's a nice reminder of Mr. Safety, keep it!
i like all the intros and outros. its all good to me. ❤️
Whenever we see furniture on the side of the road, we start singing, "Da da da da" from that car commercial a decade ago. Stinking old furniture with bed bugs, no thanks!
If I had a lick of talent, I'd make an intro with you saying "beautiful" 20 different ways, with a beat from the sound of the icy pond!
If you get the Petco email ads, they have sales every week! Then you can order a huge tree for the kitties.
The new intro will be a wonderful intro video for your channel.
I live in Colorado and i know the feeling of Alaska at least a little bit.... but after sending us this storm its literally broken record here!!! Thank .... not
Hey Cory, I totally get what you mean saying that the old intro describes something you don't feel like yours anymore. It happens to me too when I change something about my blog...and I understand that you are concerned about being coherent and having a new intro that you like and that sounds good to us too. But I think you shouldn't worry too much about it, we are here to share this amazing time of your life with you (and Kristen, and the pets of course), no matter what a 10 seconds jingle sounds like ;) keep smiling dude!
I loved the new intro. It sums up your new journey and you love it. People can skip it if they want to. But it is you and what you love and how you live so use it :). I found it adorable and the music was great. My only "complaint" was that it was "too long" for an intro but it is still amazing.
I think you should keep the song somewhere in your video! I absolutely love it! Don't feel like you have to apologize for some people not liking it, it's YOUR TH-cam channel, you should be able to do what you want with it! :) but I'm glad you at least posted it as a separate video so we can still enjoy it.
