[edit] Cheat Code

I removed the line about the doom cheat code, since it's not true. I went and tried it.

"(perhaps because of the body's difficult time properly digesting corn kernels, which often show up almost whole in stool)."

Actually, I'm fairly sure the term stems from a much more literal interpretation: the use of a cob of corn as an anal dildo. It's not exactly something I can fact check at work right now though! Shane King 06:06, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)

When we chew corn, the outer coating slips off the inner kernal. This outer yellow coating is almost entirely cellulose, and is indigestible. It passes through the gut untouched, and emerges looking like a whole kernal, although it is mostly just the outer skin. The inside of the kernal is starchy and digestible, and that is the part that we succeed in chewing up.

i'm pretty sure it's just referring to the fact that cornhole is a common slang term for butthole. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.160.222.253 (talk) 01:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

If no-one objects, I'd like rewriting this article to be my first big contribution to Wikipedia! Just a tidy-up of the language and maybe more complete descriptions of what Cornholio gets up to in each episode.--Dave-ros 17:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you are to be rewarded for your most worty efforts. How about a prize consisting of several rolls of TP?

[edit] Episode appearances

I'm 99% sure that the pivitol episode "The Great Cornholio" was not actually the first appearance of the character. There was one episode where, near the end, Beavis pulled his shirt up and put up his arms in the Cornholio pose, and Butt-head also did the same thing. Beavis wasn't hopped up on sugar or caffeine, but this was the birth of the character. And I can't remember for certain, but I think Beavis did say "I am Cornholio" during that scene.

Hopefully someone with better searching skills than me will be able to find out which episode I'm talking about, since I can't find it on my Mike Judge Collection Volume 1 DVD. - Ugliness Man 17:24, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I already put that in -- "Generation in Crisis", it's in the "Genesis" section. I have the clip on an old CD-ROM of clips from the show (one of those "spice up your desktop" things that used to be popular back in the 20th century). However, I think the Sausage video was reviewed in "The Great Cornholio", so unless it was around before the duo reviewed it, it probably wasn't the inspiration for Cornholio... though I'll have to check an episode guide to make sure "Generation in Crisis" really was before "The Great Cornholio". Dave-ros 20:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
I did a bit more digging, and discovered that Generation in Crisis was episode 86, while The Great Cornholio was 88. And the Sausage video was in episode 88, so this really confuses the chronology. I don't know what would be the best way to edit this without a complete re-write, and I'm not going to attempt that. I wonder if this is one of those cases where the episodes aired in a totally different order than that in which they were created, causing this confusion. The Mike Judge collection DVD has both episodes in question (I don't know why I missed "Generation" before), but the episodes on discs 1 and 2 are presented with no music videos at all, and a small selection of the videos is relegated to disc 3. And, unfortunately, he Sausage video is not among them, so I can't view that to offer any suggestions in that are. Ugliness Man 12:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Think I've got it sorted now... if the episodes were that close together, the Sausage video was doubtless around when "Generation in Crisis" was made, and could still have provided inspiration. However, it's also possible they just chose to review that particular video because the band happened to look like Cornholio! So we don't know for certain either way, and I've rephrased it like that. Research is cool, heh heh heh hmm heh heh! Dave-ros 20:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Cornholio has never stated directly that he comes from Nicaragua. The only instance where he has directly stated where he comes from is in "Generation in Crisis", where Beavis, in his Cornholio guise, says "I come from Lake Titicaca!". In "Vaya Con Cornholio, when asked where Lake Titicaca is, he simply shouted "Nicaragua! Agua for my bunghole!", so he could be saying he plans to invade Nicaragua, not that Lake Titicaca is in Nicaragua (but the immigration department could have misunderstood him). At the end of the episode, he is deported to Mexico, and thinking it is Nicaragua, he claims to take the land for his bunghole, implying that he does not come from Nicaragua. ndrly 10:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don cornholio?

Didn't he refer to himself as Don Cornholio in one of the Bevis and Butt-head games?
