This is precisely what numerous Slipknot fans did in the thread where someone prompted the community to identify the “corniest line” found in their extensive catalog.

The allure of Slipknot often lies within their dark, intense lyrics and aggressive musical style, which typically captivates their audience. However, that doesn’t exclude the possibility of occasional silly or awkward lines making their way into some of their tracks.

Fans Share the Most Corny Slipknot Lyrics That Made Them Laugh

The Redditor who initiated the conversation shared their personal pick, quoting “I am the great big mouth” from the Slipknot song “Eeyore.” They expressed that they cringe every time they encounter this line.

To capture the essence of this entertaining discussion, we’ve compiled some of the most amusing responses from fans below, which are italicized. Comments made by other fans in reply to these remarks are organized in bullet points beneath each.

“‘Biggity-biggidy bitch-boy, halfway hauser’ from ‘Spit It Out’ always made me giggle a bit lol.”

• Yeah, but it’s not bad; it simply reflects the era it came from. It was amazing when it first debuted.
• The way [Corey Taylor] occasionally performs this line adds a humorous touch as well. I don’t find it corny; I love it and it makes me laugh.
• I absolutely adore that line. It embodies the essence of the ’90s and early 2000s.

“I came across the opening line to ‘The Devil in I’ [‘Undo these chains my friend / I’ll show you the rage I’ve hidden’] on a T-shirt, and after reading it, it felt reminiscent of those memes featuring a wolf ripping his shirt off, which ruined the song for me.”

• [To be frank] Half of their newer songs could fit perfectly into those meme formats.
• That’s exactly the imagery I had in mind.

“‘Fist clenched tight in the pockets of my hoodie’.” (“Nero Forte”)

• That line reminds me of my own experience walking to school at age 13.
• I really like this line, but hearing Corey say “hoodie” feels somewhat odd to me.
• I’m grateful that my mind tends to ignore those lyrics. I genuinely don’t register them when I listen to “Nero Forte.”
• This line resonates with me deeply; I grew up in a rough neighborhood and was among the few white kids. It brings me back to those days walking to middle school with Slipknot blasting on my Walkman, clutching something resembling a roll of quarters in my right hand to keep my hand warm and ready for any potential fights, as cold knuckles really hurt in a brawl.

Exploring the Meaning Behind Slipknot’s ‘Nero Forte’

“CUT CUT CUT ME UP AND FUCK FUCK FUCK ME UP” (“Custer”)

• The sampled GOAT scream in “Custer” often makes me cringe as well.
• Let’s not overlook the peaks of this line.
• Usually, I’m okay with embracing the cringe factor, but in this case, I just can’t.

“’If you’re 5-5-5- I’m 6-6-6′ is undeniably corny, yet we all still love it.”

• It actually holds a deeper meaning once you understand the context.

“Honestly, I feel like every song can come across as a little corny and edgy, but that’s part of why I appreciate them. However, whenever I hear Corey declare, ‘I’m not like you, I’m just fucked up’, that specific line sometimes feels like it’s trying a bit too hard to be cool.”

• I think it’s nearly impossible to create metal lyrics that don’t sound at least a bit corny. For instance, when I listen to Slaughter to Prevail, it feels even cornier because, unlike English lyrics that I can let slide past my head, I can’t do the same with lyrics in Russian.

It’s important to remember that being corny doesn’t equate to being bad! It’s perfectly acceptable to chuckle at your favorite artists from time to time.
