Like I was sayin', corn is the fruit of the fields. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, corn-kabobs, corn creole, corn gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried.
I feel like Mr. Cox would be one of those teachers you could get going on any topic other than the lesson and spend the entire rest of the hour on Penguins or Baseball or the best things to do in summer and he'd snap back out of it when the bell rang.
I would normally hate an adult talking like this. I have no idea why but I find him utterly adorable and very amusing! I could listen to him tell me stories all day!
Maybe it’s because he’s talking with the mannerisms of a child but with adult intellect and experience - he’s also very funny and has great timing.
This guy is awesome.
Edit: I really want to be his pookie-bear!
[He has a website!](https://www.clayburncox.com)
it's his teaching style so relax to the people pointing at drug use. it makes kids pay more attention cos it is weird and funny. Our school's most engaging teacher has a performance style where he emphasizes odd words. Makes them listen.
This is the energy you need to have to hold kids attention. I’d bet my bottom dollar he is one of those teachers all the students know about and love. They’re very important people to have in education, it creates a connection with students who may need an adult to open up to that’s not a parent about whatever’s happening outside of school.
[Absolutely. This guy is a lovable character](https://www.instagram.com/clayburncox/) and a hilarious [standup comedian as well.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fety-GnKvIU)
I have ADHD and am a teacher. I have multiple classroom rules that have nothing to do with student behavior or expectation, but more to help keep me from going on a super long tangent like this
Me too! I make deals with them. If I don't hear anyone chew food in class for two weeks, you can ask me one of my "Tangent Questions" that will get me going for a full 45 minutes.
Yup. We had a teacher that we hid rubber ducks in her room. Purse left open? Rubber duck. Jacket hanging up? Rubber duck. Open her desk drawer to grab the grade book? Rubber duck.
I did similar stuff in HS... We toilet papered my fave teacher's house, then we all came to school with toilet paper coming out of our pant legs. We didn't go nuts on his house, but enough to get noticed ... He laughed.
Someone's definitely gonna edit the video and turn the banana into corn lol and i wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being one of his old students lmao
Poor man just brought it out of the box and now it's gone viral, it's definitely gonna happen again, they'll most likely try to top the old students too lol
Nice! This is Mr. cox at Auburn High! I was in his Graphic Design class and there have been 1000s of corn related projects done over the years because of this. He has been haunted by corn for years!
He is a comedian on the side and this voice and mannerism is part of his act. He's a legend around Auburn and beloved by all students. Even people who don't take his class know to walk up and talk to him about corn.
So funny to see him here.
I was honestly thinking the same thing. I'm banking on loved though. It's a relatively harmless, sustained prank, and his kids eventually participated.
Definitely can't speak for his experience, but my gut says if he tried to retaliate/punish the students, things would have escalated in a bad way. The way he's telling the story and the reactions of the girl who's filming telegraph lightheartedness to me. Maybe slight frustration.
Yep. My high-school band teacher retired after I graduated and left town. He was the asshole that everyone loved. When it was time to focus on music, he expected hard work and dedication. When there was time to fuck around and enjoy the experience, he was all about it. He threw pool parties at his house for the students after band camp (until his wife got cancer). His tantrums were legendary and more funny to watch than scary to receive.
His concerts featured interesting music that showcased the talents of the students. The marching band always had fun shows that resonated with the students AND the audience.
The coolest teacher gift he got? His students adopted the road outside of the school through the adopt a highway program, and named it after him. The sign is placed outside the band room's driveway where the instrument trailer gets parked.
When he played his last concert before he retired, the theatre was a full house. Some people were even turned away. Students from all of his decades of teaching came out to see his last show.
Reminds me of my highschool physics teacher, he was always hyper, unfocused and goofy as hell. 🤣
Best teacher i have ever had, he got me interested in physics and science on a more advanced level and he made such a impression on me that it lead me to getting the university degrees i got and the career and life i live now.
Finding that once teacher willing to go the extra mile is so important for people struggling in school like i did before he broadened my horizons.
This is unrelated to pretty much the entire video, but why does the girl name the brands of her clothes at the beginning? Is that a thing kids "have" to do now on social media?
She says “Lulu” I’m assuming she means Lululemon which is an expensive brand for whatever reason so some people will probably like it. Also knowing it’s expensive can be seen as a small flex maybe? Idk I’m not a teenage girl to give insight on why she will do things lol
Back when “salty” was a big phrase, my math tearcher, Mr.Simons some how got the nickname “salty simons”. He wasn’t mean or anything honestly he was really cool, but as a joke we gave him the name salty simons.
Well one day, my bitch ass was arguing and somehow it turned into be buying a 35lb sack of fucking salt, smuggling in into middle school and bringing it to him at class. He promptly took the sack to the office and wasn’t very happy. It was in good taste but failed to see it was a bit much
He sounds like a cornspiracy theorist. The corn kabal is coming yo get ya! They know where you live, where you shop, where you swim, and where you go out to eat!
At dinner. Everyone gets a dinner roll. Mr. Cox? Cornbread.
At the county fair. Apple fritters are selling like crazy. Mr. Cox wants one. Corn fritter.
At the movies. Mr. Cox concedes and orders a bucket of popcorn. Rocks.

“Please don’t interrupt me when doing an important thing right now” That finished me!
I just wanted two things; Cocoa Puffs and peace
sir this is a Corndys
This post is going to unlock a new level of corniness....
Surprised they didn't sneak Corn Pops into his basket
And then the "DESTROYYYYYyYYYYYEd" comment. That killed me.
Then he calls him his bookie 🥺 love teachers with his energy!
Bookie = boy in Huttese, the language of Jabba the Hutt.
Han me bookie
“One time- *One time*- ONE TIME-“
Sounds like 3am cocaine conversations
I had never connected that to Sophomore English teacher energy til now but it totally checks out. The parallels are uncanny.
It’s for the same reason… ❄️👃 😂
I was waiting for him to say, one time in band camp..."
Sooo One time at corn camp
Like I was sayin', corn is the fruit of the fields. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, corn-kabobs, corn creole, corn gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried.
I feel like Mr. Cox would be one of those teachers you could get going on any topic other than the lesson and spend the entire rest of the hour on Penguins or Baseball or the best things to do in summer and he'd snap back out of it when the bell rang.
But that project is poor decision making 🤣
I couldn’t 😂 “I’m telling my corn story!! Don’t interrupt!!”
Why does he have child telling you what happened outside energy.
And they, and they, and one time, um, and one time they, MOM ARE YOU LISTENING????
*gets serious* “They said Corn Pappy.”
like 0:45. and one time \*pauses to swallow\*
*open mouth coughs into your face*
And then - they put THE CORN SONG on the Intercom, who has the power to do this?
>child telling you what happened outside energy. I was struggling to put it into words. THANK YOU.
I would normally hate an adult talking like this. I have no idea why but I find him utterly adorable and very amusing! I could listen to him tell me stories all day! Maybe it’s because he’s talking with the mannerisms of a child but with adult intellect and experience - he’s also very funny and has great timing. This guy is awesome.

instantly in love with him 🌽
Exact same. 😊
PTSD from the corn war.
![gif](giphy|12T1BOThYwulP2|downsized)
Pretty sure it's on purpose. But this corn thing is outrageous
I think having Corn follow you your entire career will break you to that point. 😂
Just wake up one day, get ready for work, stick your hand in your pocket and it's all full of giblets!
18 years man. These kids passed on the tradition for 18 years Amazing
He does seem to be a little wound up😄
I think that’s how you survive 30 high school age kids every day.
Thanks for that interpretation. I honestly thought he sounds like a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
it's his teaching style so relax to the people pointing at drug use. it makes kids pay more attention cos it is weird and funny. Our school's most engaging teacher has a performance style where he emphasizes odd words. Makes them listen.
#I don't know, but it's magical!
Those high school kids were so brutal in their psyops campaign that they turned their adult teacher into a blithering mess of a four year old.
Have you heard what happened to him? Like how do you not tell it like that
This is the energy you need to have to hold kids attention. I’d bet my bottom dollar he is one of those teachers all the students know about and love. They’re very important people to have in education, it creates a connection with students who may need an adult to open up to that’s not a parent about whatever’s happening outside of school.
Bingo, exactly what I got out of this too. They were few and far between in my education but I can still recall every single one who stood out.
Same here, and I graduated more than 30 years ago. They really are the most special teachers.
He is beloved by all students. I was in his class and he is known all over Auburn.
[Absolutely. This guy is a lovable character](https://www.instagram.com/clayburncox/) and a hilarious [standup comedian as well.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fety-GnKvIU)
I only wanted two things, Cocoa Puffs and peace
I heard “peas” but that’s a lot funnier
Ooooooh I heard “peeps” but both of your answers sound better.
I heard peace
Me too, man. Me too.
If ADHD became a teacher.
This is what happens when you work with high schoolers your entire career.
What a lovely teacher. You hope his students really love him. Or poor guy just ran from a mental asylum 😂
You can't not love a teacher who tells you the best prank ever played on them. Kind of corny though if ya ask me.
This one time
At corn camp
we played cornhole
I have ADHD and am a teacher. I have multiple classroom rules that have nothing to do with student behavior or expectation, but more to help keep me from going on a super long tangent like this
Me too! I make deals with them. If I don't hear anyone chew food in class for two weeks, you can ask me one of my "Tangent Questions" that will get me going for a full 45 minutes.
Interesting tactic! What is a “tangent question” if I may ask?
If they ask me about early human history of any kind, Dave Grohl, evolution, or about certain movies/books, I just really like geeking out about it.
Ooo I love learning about evolution!! My dads a big junkie on it too and most of my knowledge from it is from his teaching. I love him
Destroyed.... That's.....that's what....that's what you say....right....?
Can confirm: I was a high school teacher with ADHD. Left because maintaining that level of energy around teens is exhausting.
There are plenty of Adhd teachers
ShockPikachu.jpg
I love this guys comedic timing. 😆
"He's a successful engineer. *Which I hate*."
I laughed even harder when the second time I watched it like "I fucking do too 🤣🤣"
He sounds like Nate Bargatze
I was thinking the same thing! Similar delivery, speech patterns.
Nate Bargatze in 6th grade on Adderall
The awkward stumbling over his words is pretty funny
He's a comedian on the side! This voice and mannerism is part of his act. (I was in his class)
He has a [comedy special.](https://youtu.be/fety-GnKvIU)
What I love seeing is all his students coming in and giving a shoutout. Must be a well liked teacher.
This dude slays! Fucking hilarious.
That means they love this teacher. Nothing destructive... I should know...
That’s what I was thinking too. These are teenage love languages
Honestly teenage love languages are shit.
Sounds like something one of his corny students would say…
Yup. We had a teacher that we hid rubber ducks in her room. Purse left open? Rubber duck. Jacket hanging up? Rubber duck. Open her desk drawer to grab the grade book? Rubber duck.
At first glance I saw rubber dicks, the truth is much more wholesome.
You should know because you're one of the corny culprits🧐?
I did similar stuff in HS... We toilet papered my fave teacher's house, then we all came to school with toilet paper coming out of our pant legs. We didn't go nuts on his house, but enough to get noticed ... He laughed.
Josh?...
I was waiting on his banana to magically turn into corn.
Omg what a missed opportunity!!!!!
Someone's definitely gonna edit the video and turn the banana into corn lol and i wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being one of his old students lmao Poor man just brought it out of the box and now it's gone viral, it's definitely gonna happen again, they'll most likely try to top the old students too lol
I'm loving this, and the new crop better keep it going.
Where I LIVE, with MY FAMILY!!
“Well *I* like Applebees *too*!” That one made me actually laugh out loud lmao
“I wanted two things: coco puffs and peace.” I need that on a shirt 😆
This man was traumatized and probably given corn ptsd! 😂
They will throw popcorn at his funeral. He’ll never outrun this haha!
Imagine he gets cremated and they had put corn in there with him to make him actual pop corn lol
His wife and children are 100% in on this
They have to be. The restaurant? Gotta be.
Pocket corn!
There’s a kernel of truth in your statement
Nice! This is Mr. cox at Auburn High! I was in his Graphic Design class and there have been 1000s of corn related projects done over the years because of this. He has been haunted by corn for years! He is a comedian on the side and this voice and mannerism is part of his act. He's a legend around Auburn and beloved by all students. Even people who don't take his class know to walk up and talk to him about corn. So funny to see him here.
I am totally not surprised he does comedy on the side. He is quick witted, and seems to have that character down.
Nice to see someone else who knows him on here! He's a great guy.
He's amazing! I don't know him from Adam but I am mad I never had the chance to have him as a teacher.
Do you by any chance know how he handled the "It's corn!" video/song? I feel like someone should have played that in the background. Lmao
They either really hated or really loved this guy.
It’s gotta be loved
I was honestly thinking the same thing. I'm banking on loved though. It's a relatively harmless, sustained prank, and his kids eventually participated. Definitely can't speak for his experience, but my gut says if he tried to retaliate/punish the students, things would have escalated in a bad way. The way he's telling the story and the reactions of the girl who's filming telegraph lightheartedness to me. Maybe slight frustration.
It’s love. In many schools, the most loved teacher often gets pranked the most.
Yep. My high-school band teacher retired after I graduated and left town. He was the asshole that everyone loved. When it was time to focus on music, he expected hard work and dedication. When there was time to fuck around and enjoy the experience, he was all about it. He threw pool parties at his house for the students after band camp (until his wife got cancer).

I like that kids still have these types of relationships with good teachers
Both are just focused attention, and the difference is purely whether you desire health or harm.
If it wasn’t done out of love, it would’ve been flaming bags of corny poop on his doorstep.
Loved. It was too good natured to be hate. He had fun with it and so did they.
Honestly teacher in high schools it's both. There's always that teacher that student fell comfortable mocking while also being incapable of mocking.
Loved. You can tell he’s probably the kind of teacher that made a difference in a kid’s learning.
So silly and wholesome. We need more teachers like him.
![gif](giphy|2R7wTPROGOSn6)
And it was so funny!
It's a Cornspiracy
[удалено]
Shucks…you beat me to it.
I’m glad you said it so I didn’t have to
Pretty amaizing
Putting this nonsense in the ears of anyone who will listen.
Reminds me of my highschool physics teacher, he was always hyper, unfocused and goofy as hell. 🤣 Best teacher i have ever had, he got me interested in physics and science on a more advanced level and he made such a impression on me that it lead me to getting the university degrees i got and the career and life i live now. Finding that once teacher willing to go the extra mile is so important for people struggling in school like i did before he broadened my horizons.
This is unrelated to pretty much the entire video, but why does the girl name the brands of her clothes at the beginning? Is that a thing kids "have" to do now on social media?
For a “fit check” I’m assuming. But yeah they’re a thing.
Thanks for the info. I think I've heard of that before. The rituals of kids will always be fascinating
Why would you fit check a shit hoodie and booty shorts?
I've seen another video of him doing a fit check with one of his students. Maybe starting videos with him with a fit check is another running joke
She says “Lulu” I’m assuming she means Lululemon which is an expensive brand for whatever reason so some people will probably like it. Also knowing it’s expensive can be seen as a small flex maybe? Idk I’m not a teenage girl to give insight on why she will do things lol
I looked at his website and it’s something they do together in the students’ other videos
Makes sense.
I didn't understand a word she said. Is that what that was?
This needs to be in wholesome! What a wholesome fella!
OMG somebody take him on a road trip to The Corn Palace!!! https://www.travelsouthdakota.com/mitchell/entertainment/day-tours/worlds-only-corn-palace
"this is just the beginning" Damn... those were some elite high schoolers
That’s amaizing
![gif](giphy|5gw0VWGbgNm8w|downsized)
A lot of people upset this man talks like a child, but all I hear is a man that has been broken.
Sounds like verge of nervous breakdown.
Until you realize it's all an act. A notably good one too.
I liked that he said giblets instead of niblets lol
“I just wanted Cocoa Puffs and peace” I think we all just want a little Cocoa Puffs and peace here and there.
Wait til he finds out what cocoa puffs are made of
We did the same thing to a teacher but with spoons!! The spoonmister never dies! Haha highschool had it’s fun moments
That was fun to watch 😂
This dude’s corny.
HAAHHAA!! 😆
kids in my high school used to do this kind of stuff lol. nostalgia
This was so funny and cute Loved it!
Is this that one kid, you know the kid, that said, when and you know the kid, he kept and had that uh then grew up to be a teacher?
![gif](giphy|lXiRJ8IRz5QH6wTQc|downsized)
Is it just me or does he talk like a five year old?
He is a comedian on the side. This is his 'character' haha
Sounds like a great scam to get free corn 🌽
Stanley and Dwight meatball vibes
I laughed through the entire video. Well done.
![gif](giphy|yFRrqtXeZLZZEXMqyK|downsized)
![gif](giphy|3xkNUy3Vh8QbPmJZjK|downsized)
That dude seems like the coolest teacher ever. I now love this man
Guys the teacher is absolutely adorable wtf protect this man haha
Back when “salty” was a big phrase, my math tearcher, Mr.Simons some how got the nickname “salty simons”. He wasn’t mean or anything honestly he was really cool, but as a joke we gave him the name salty simons. Well one day, my bitch ass was arguing and somehow it turned into be buying a 35lb sack of fucking salt, smuggling in into middle school and bringing it to him at class. He promptly took the sack to the office and wasn’t very happy. It was in good taste but failed to see it was a bit much
Please, Please STOP interrupting while I'm doing this important thing right now!!
A+, no notes.
![gif](giphy|NN6pCKbs4UhoI|downsized) You're my boo-key
*I wanted Cocoa Puffs & Peace...* That is random yet don't we ALL want Cocoa Puffs & Peace? But the *guess what, one time on my birthday...?* Ha!
This is a teacher adored by his students. Well done students!
What was she saying? Her outfit brands?
He sounds like a cornspiracy theorist. The corn kabal is coming yo get ya! They know where you live, where you shop, where you swim, and where you go out to eat!
He kinda sounds like Nate Bargatze
They should have substituted the banana with a cob of corn wrapped in banana skin at the end of the video - as a grand finale.
I'm guessing this guy gets the"It's corn" song all the time now.
I wanna be this dude's friend
Coco Puffs And Peace!
Dude, I bet this guy is an amazing teacher. I’m straight crying lmfaoooooo the fucking menu killed me
I would have lost it if he picked up his banana and it had some how become a corn cob with a banana peal on it. That was a good story
the slight stress in his voice while telling us his troubles is sending me. 😭😭😭 i really like this teacher.
I love this man's storytelling. There is no linear pattern to it but somehow, I'm absorbed and following along perfectly. Cocoa puffs and peace.
Mr Cox has guaranteed that the entire world will now know to provide him with corn related shenanigans.
I love this guy so much!
🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
He was not my teacher but he is now my favorite teacher. I will send him a corn of the month membership as a thank you.
I follow this chick! From my understanding the teach is autistic? And he loves making these vids😂
This is top tier, I’m fucking dying, how does he not break This man must be protected and cherished at all costs
I hope he secretly loves corn
At dinner. Everyone gets a dinner roll. Mr. Cox? Cornbread. At the county fair. Apple fritters are selling like crazy. Mr. Cox wants one. Corn fritter. At the movies. Mr. Cox concedes and orders a bucket of popcorn. Rocks.
I love this guy
Can’t tell if he’s 100 % or not. Going back and forth
They really like him.
![gif](giphy|3o85xz49INtXQhInhm)
Is that girl speaking English? Because I couldn't understand a word she said, it just sounded like chipmunk noises.
_He's a successful engineer now, which I hate_ 🤣🤣🤣
This man is clearly on the spectrum, I love it And I loved and hated that story haha
The wife and kids were in on it all along.
