Cornholio, also known as '''The Great Cornholio''', is the insane Alter Ego of Beavis in MTV 's Animated Series '' Beavis And Butt-head ''. TRANSFORMATION Cornholio emerges whenever Beavis consumes large quantities of accent. Cornholio apparently hails from ). He has also expressed an interest in Oleo , presumably because it rhymes with his name; he combines it with "bunghole" to create his most famous cry, "bungholeo-o-o-o-o!". Cornholio is a very different personality to Beavis in one particular aspect: while Beavis is somewhat shy and prone to mumble, Cornholio is extremely forceful and loud. If anyone challenges him he demands to know "are you threatening me?", and on many occasions he has warned "unbelievers" of the "wrath" of his bunghole. Although generally he means no harm, he respects no boundaries or property rights and roams wherever he wishes on his quest, frequently screaming at those he meets and terrifying them into submission. He is one of the few characters that actually sings (apart from the teacher Mr. Van Driessen ), but his singing is off-key, and he sings only about what he talks about: his bunghole. Beavis seems to retain no memories of events after he returns to "normal", on one occasion seemingly apologising to Principal McVicker for having caused a problem. This indicates that Beavis suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder , and hence fans regard him as genuinely Insane , in contrast to Butt-head , who is merely "stupid". However, while in Cornholio mode Beavis can often be heard muttering in his normal voice, indicating the original personality is showing through. The name "Cornholio" is a reference to the anus, which is sometimes called the " Cornhole "; the traditional meaning of "bunghole" is a hole in a liquor barrel or keg. GENESIS Cornholio first apparently surfaced in the episode "Generation in Crisis", in a scene where Beavis amuses Butt-Head by pulling his shirt over his head and saying "I am the Great Cornholio, I come from Lake Titicaca!" in a humorous Spanish accent. In scripting terms this was merely Beavis "goofing around", but the moment proved popular enough to warrant making Cornholio a character in his own right. In the same episode, both Beavis and Butt-head pull their shirts over their heads and act like idiots; they do the same thing in the episode "Screamers", in which guises they wander around Highland screaming at innocent people. In both these latter cases neither Beavis nor Butt-head refer to bungholes, T.P. or any other Cornholio obsession, indicating that they do not think they are Cornholio-esque characters at this point but are simply being silly and pretending they are. However, fans have affectionately dubbed Butt-head's potential alter-ego "The Great Buttholio". It is widely believed that Cornholio's costume was inspired by members of the band Sausage wearing hooded jumpsuits in the Music Video for the title track of their album '' Riddles Are Abound Tonight ''. The duo reviewed this video shortly afterwards, appropriately enough in the episode "The Great Cornholio" (see below). {Link without Title} EPISODE APPEARANCES The first genuine appearance of Cornholio was in the episode "The Great Cornholio", which was originally titled "Breakfast Burritos" but was later renamed thanks to the popularity of the Cornholio character. The duo raid the Stevenson household's kitchen and Beavis consumes "27 candy bars and a six-pack of Root Beer ", entering a hyperactive phase as a result. At school, Mr. Van Driessen triggers the transformation by using the word "Nicaragua", prompting Cornholio to demand "agua for my bunghole!". He subsequently wanders the school searching for T.P., interrupting other classes and warning of a Polio epidemic. He returns to normal in the principal's office, but a large quantity of candy provided by the principal causes him to revert to Cornholio mode once again, insisting "I no need Hall Pass !". Cornholio returned in "Buttniks", in which the duo visit a into surrendering their candy to him. He finds toilet paper during the course of his wanderings, though this does not cause him to revert to normal. In "Vaya Con Cornholio", Cornholio surfaces at Burger World after Beavis drinks their entire supply of Volt Cola and other soda drinks; he is subsequently arrested by the INS and, after he insists he is from Lake Titicaca in Nicaragua (a geographical impossibility), they deport him to (they believe) his native Mexico . MOVIE APPEARANCES Cornholio appears twice in the feature film '' camper, and after being triggered by a picture of Dallas, he decides to go in and "whack off". An embarrassing moment ensues when Mr. Anderson sees his camper rocking and making strange noises, so he goes in and catches Beavis with his pants down. He reverts to normal at the film's climax, surrounded by SWAT teams and soldiers, unaware as to how he arrived on Pennsylvania Avenue . TRIVIA
