some slangs needed help

I watched a movie today called: " Jump in". There are some expressions I cannot take in like:

" Corny much?"

" come on .... ( something I cannot remember).... with come on"

And when the actor was practicing with the punchbag, his coach said: Come on, pick it up

And in another movie, they have a saying :"In a crunch time, your heart will be so buff". What is a crunch time?

Please help me

"Corny much" doesn't make any sense -- you must have mis-heard what they were saying. Without more context, I can't guess what it might be.
