―Callum's Intro | ||
Callum Adams (born: September 26, 1981), better known online as Callums Corner, is an English vlogger who became an internet meme after he published an angry video threatening people who joked that his head was shaped like a Tic Tac.
His most popular video is "MY HEAD DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A SODDING TIC TAC. A FINAL WARNING" that was posted on July 20, 2016. On October 22, 2016 he uploaded a video titled "My head does look like a sodding tic tac. You win, I give up" where he admits that his head looks like "a sodding tic tac". Callum created a channel called "Callum Does The Internet" on November 16, 2016, shortly after his video admitting.
He started his video career on Facebook and YouTube by making short videos sharing wisdom. However, it wasn't until WillNE reacted to his infamous "Tic Tac" video that he attracted the large audience that he upholds to this day. This original video, the following Afghan Dan diss track and his innumerable appearances in other YouTubers' videos have cemented his place as an icon in the UK YouTube scene.
Personal Life
Callum Adams was born on 26 September 1981 in Blackburn in the North of England, shortly moving to the Isle of Wight thereafter when he was six months old. It was here he spent a large amount of his childhood, detailed here in this video
He then later moved to surrey where he went to Reigate College, as stated on one of his live streams.
Not a lot is known about Callum's life through his twenties to now. He has previously said that he used to be a broker, and that he was engaged for a period of time. He has recently moved back to the Isle of Wight after previously living with his deranged mother and 'mental mental chicken oriental' lesbian and vegan sister named Aimee. Before this he lived with his sister and mother in Bristol, where he did a lot of work as a carer, which he eventually quit due to hating it.
Callum has an extensive family. Callum's father died an unspecified amount of time ago, although we know that he had separated from his mother long before this, after it was uncovered he had had an affair and a second family with another woman. This resulted in his parents divorcing and he was forced to change his name to Sanjay Bennett, Callum has two sisters, one unnamed, although often described as 'the one that he likes' and his other sister 'Amy' who is often the antagonist of his videos. Amy is described by Callum as 'life ruining' and her 'militant veganism' fuels Callum's thematic opposition to veganism.
People eventually found out Callum's address in Bristol, and it is known that he received many toasters and a large amount of bread, which is related to people asking to see his kitchen appliances on a live stream.
Callum has two nieces (children of Amy) and one nephew (son of the other sister), Eddie, who has appeared in a large amount of Callum's videos.
Callum also has multiple cousins, including Gregory[1], and Tim.[2]
Callum's current videos include vlogs, meme reviews, videos of his wisdom, rants, challenges, self defense, cooking, stories about his life and commentary videos on his second channel ('Callum Does The Internet').
Callum also streams on his Twitch account named CallumFromTheCorner almost daily, where he plays games such as 'Fortnite' and does squads with random people from his Twitch chat, 'Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy', which he hasn't played since February 3rd. Roblox, where people often join his games and fill the chat with filthy messages, 'Five Nights at Freddy's' and other random games. He constantly gets 'troll donations' where viewers spend fairly small amounts of money to send a text to speech message or a video link which will play on stream. This feature is meant for songs and music but often abused to play racist songs and Elliot Rodger - a favourite of the Callum Twitch community.
Callum also has made a name for himself as a musician, making songs often with a message, such as an anti-noncery song, an anti-hate song, an anti-vegan song, and a diss track on Stephen Tries. His frequent musical collaborator, and best YouTube friend, is Tom Stockdale.
Callum has an active and devoted fanbase, who he interacts with on streams, discord, video games and through other mediums. These fans appreciate him for his humour, (often unintentional, caused by the situations he finds himself in) his meme potential, his approachable personality, his repertoire of music and his everflowing wisdom, and his big benson.
