It means humor that is unsophisticated, or jokes that are so old that everybody already knows them. Corny joke are often bad pun, particularly one that everyone has heard before. "Why are there fences around cemeteries?" "Because people are dying to get in!" ("Dying to" is an idiom for "wanting to.") Joker: Knock, knock. Victim: Who's there? Joker: Mary. Victim: Mary who? Joker: Mary Christmas! [Merry Christmas]
