Korn is an American nu metal band that appear in the Season Three episode, "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery", as a Scooby-Doo parody.
Background[]
The group appears to have useless super-powers in which clasping each other's wrists they are able to turn into two stalks of corn with butter, a kernel of corn, popcorn, and a can of creamed corn. They agree that it is useless when facing off against three pirate ghosts, but admit they do it solely because "It's just cool to do." The band is from Bakersfield, California and they premiered "Falling Away from Me", the first single from their fourth album, Issues, in this episode. They also have a cameo in the intro from Season Six.
Appearance[]
They are all very off-style, almost nothing like a South Park character model. They all have beady eyes and the same skin color. They are of varying weights.
Personality[]
The group behaves like five wholesome, polite, and sweet young men, with the stereotypical personalities of characters from 1960s Hanna-Barbara hit cartoon Scooby-Doo. They often use phrases like "Groovy" and "Golly".
