Each episode, with rare exception, features Kenny dying in some horribly brutal fashion followed by Stan and Kyle's iconic catchphrase, "Oh my God, they killed Kenny! You bastards! Despite the myriad ways he has met his maker, a key component of the gag is Kenny returning the next episode alive and well with no mention or collective memory of his passing.
The first canonical acknowledgment of Kenny's numerous deaths occurs in the season four episode, "Cartman Joins NAMBLA," where, following his death, Kenny's mother gives birth to a baby boy who looks identical to Kenny, including his trademark orange parka.
The parents name the newborn "Kenny" and comment that this is either the 50th or 52nd time this has happened to them. His death was usually followed by Stan's cry of "Oh my God, they killed Kenny! But boredom wasn't the only reason. According to Matt Stone, there was not much that they could do with the character. While Kenny was a beloved South Park regular, he was the least developed — mostly due to his restrictions.
So with Kenny's biggest appeal being killed off every episode only to reappear in the next one like nothing happened, the people behind the show developed a plan to get rid of Kenny, at least for a while. He often performs disgusting acts for money, such as dissecting a Manatee and eating its spleen, then regurgitating it and eating it again " Fat Camp ".
He also drinks from Jimbo's gas tank in " Volcano ". When you rub your dick You might find a discharge that Winds up on the floor.
Although he is something of a silent protagonist, Kenny still seems to be very empathetic when it comes to his friends.
In " Do the Handicapped Go to Hell? Kenny also alludes to his many deaths and his friends' attitude towards them in " Cherokee Hair Tampons ", when he gets angry at Stan for crying over Kyle's impending death and not recognizing Kenny's at all - this idea revisited in " Coon vs.
Despite his perverted sense of humor, cynicism, and profanity, he is often depicted as heroic, kind, and smart. Kenny is also shown to be very loyal to his friends, even when he is insulted or ridiculed. In " Jewbilee ", Kyle betrays Kenny by ratting him out to the elders. Afterwards, Kenny ends up saving everyone by sacrificing himself. In the early seasons, Cartman consistently insults Kenny for being poor and constantly reminds him how much he hates him.
When Cartman refuses to watch Schneider, Kenny's soul keeps trying to get him to change the channel back. Kenny normally appears blank-faced as a result of his parka hood, but he does get visibly emotional from time to time. In " The Death of Eric Cartman ", Kenny breaks down crying similarly to how Clyde sometimes does after Cartman eats all the skin out of a KFC bucket meal - afterwards, he joined Stan and Kyle, and eventually the whole of the 4t- grade class, in ignoring Cartman - even though Cartman tried to redeem himself, their friendship never fully recovered.
In " Major Boobage ", Kenny has had more lines and has played a bigger role; since then, " The Ring " and " Poor and Stupid " are episodes that have focused on Kenny.
In " Mysterion Rises ", he was also revealed to be the "secret identity" Mysterion , a child superhero that first appeared in " The Coon " this means that technically, " Mysterion Rises " and " Coon vs.
Kenny is also known to have the most vile mouth in the group, as he mostly swears heavily in his dialogue. He also does not take any guff from Cartman - while he used to be Cartman's "underling", that role has been taken over by Butters. He is also a fan of monster trucks, as evidenced by a 4x4 poster of a monster truck hanging in his room on some occasions.
He is also a righty, as he usually holds writing utensils in his right hand. Since the episode " Mysterion Rises ", Kenny has become apathetic towards his inability to die. After so many deaths - both quick and painful - he views his demise as no more than an inconvenience - an excruciating and agonizing one, but still extremely annoying. His apathy even grew to the point where, rather than walk home from Cartman's house at the end of " Coon vs.
Kenny is a Roman Catholic and is often seen in the Catholic church with the other residents of South Park. However, he is not known to be particularly religious, and indeed his spontaneous combustion in the titular episode " Spontaneous Combustion " caused Father Maxi to believe the phenomenon was being caused by the residents' debaucherous activity.
During the episode " Super Best Friends ", he converted to Blaintology along with most of the other residents of South Park, albeit temporarily. Notably, his parents would attend Cult of Cthulhu meetings, which is implied to have resulted in his immortality. However, they were not believers and only attended for the free alcohol. Kenny himself would fight against the cult and was unaware of it being a possible source of his curse.
During " The Poor Kid ", he was put into care after it was discovered that his parents were producing methamphetamine. He was fostered by an Agnostic family that tried to force him, as well as the other children they fostered, into being Agnostic. He was never converted, and indeed as Mysterion would actively protect his sister and ultimately cause his guardians to be arrested and be placed back in the care of his parents.
Kenny dressed up as a pregnant underage girl to get morning-after abortion pills though the only thing he wore was a long, blond wig in " Cartman Joins NAMBLA ". He also acted in " W.
In " How to Eat with Your Butt ", Kenny demonstrates his ability to stay perfectly balanced by doing a hand - stand for several minutes, with the constriction of his clothing on him, never falling or swaying. He also helped along in " Make Love, Not Warcraft ". Kenny has fought on a few occasions and is most likely the most physically active out of all the boys. He is also able to throw shurikens correctly, as demonstrated by hitting Butters directly in the eye with one in " Good Times with Weapons ".
He occasionally gets into physical confrontations with Cartman due to Cartman's abusive nature especially in early seasons. While Cartman overpowered him by sitting on him and farting in " Clubhouses ", Kenny was able to easily beat him when he tried to stop Stan and Kyle from entering the Wall-Mart with a dagger.
It is also shown in many other episodes he hasa rather good accuracy with lon- range objects. Disregarding the deleted ending to The Coon , he is easily able to hold off Butters and Dougie singlehandedly, although in both his encounter with Cartman and his encounter with Professor Chaos, his main strategy seemed to consist of simply hitting his opponent until they gave up. When the deleted ending is taken into account, this is Kyle's fighting strategy.
Itis also worthy to note that both Cartman and Butters have repeatedly been shown to be physically weak. In " The Poor Kid ", Kenny, as Mysterion , effortlessly beat up a bully who was picking on his sister, Karen ; firs,t he kicks her with enough force to send her into the air, doesa spinning kick into her head, then punches her in the head, causing her to fall on the ground.
Kenny is shown to have a large mastery of strategic video gaming in " Best Friends Forever ", reaching Level 60 in the Game " Heaven vs. Hell ", and was known by the angels as the Heaven's equivalent of Keanu Reeves Neo from the Matrix trilogy or John Constantine from the film Constantine. In " Towelie ", he plays the Okama Gamesphere with the other boys until his death, at which time Towelie takes his place.
In the " Chinpokomon " episode, he suffers a non-fatal seizure while playing a game about bombing Pearl Harbor. Kenny is unable to die. In " Mysterion Rises ", he remarks on how many times he has died, but instead of dying permanently, he ends up waking up in his bed, alive. He is troubled by the fact that no one remembers his deaths. He views his "power" as a curse. However, Cartman once stated that he dies all the time in " Cartmanland ", which indicates that Cartman is the only one to remember Kenny's deaths, but, presumably due to his selfish nature, refuses to acknowledge them unless it would somehow benefit him.
Also, in " Fourth Grade ", Stan remarks "Who didn't see that coming? Kenny appears to be very musically talented. After taking opera voice lessons in " Quintuplets ", Kenny is shown to be very good at singing. He uses this talent to travel to Romania where he performs for money.
Also in " The Red Badge of Gayness ", it is shown that he can play the flute as well. He, along with the rest of the fourth grade third grade at the time , is shown to have questionable talent with the recorder as seen in " World Wide Recorder Concert ". In a pan flute band he can play the Zampona and he is seen with a trumpet at the end when they think of starting a salsa band.
In " Conjoined Fetus Lady ", his number is 69, a reference to his perverted sense of humor. Kenny can also play tetherball, but ended up getting strangled by it in " Mecha-Streisand ". In " Grey Dawn " he was seen playing street hockey with the rest of the boys. He has also played basketball with Cartman, Stan, and Kyle. Stuart McCormick is Kenny's alcoholic father. He is usually seen hanging out with the other men in South Park and sometimes arguing, or physically fighting, with his wife.
Stuart's alcoholism is probably why the McCormick family is so far into poverty. Kenny is shown to not care when Stuart and Kevin are fighting, merely watching television with a bored look.
Carol McCormick is Kenny's young mother. She is said to have had Kenny when she was only 16 years old which would imply that she had Kevin when she was 13 or 14 years old. Similarly, in the last episode of the Mysterion Trilogy, Kenny is literally reborn, however, this time it is left open that Kenny's immortality is due to his parents worshiping Cthulhu. She says in " Coon vs. Kevin McCormick is Kenny's older brother. He is very untidy in appearance.
He does not have many speaking lines, but when he does speak, he seems to repeat much of what he says.
His voice sounds similar to those of Terrance Mephesto, Bill, and Fosse, but he must get the accent from his mom. He is seen with a few band aids on his face. Kenny is shown to not care when Kevin and Stuart are fighting, merely watching television with a bored look.
Kevin is quite different from Kenny, since Kevin always gets into arguments with his family, while Kenny seems to ignore everything that is happening around him. Kenny and Kevin do not seem to talk to each other much. Karen McCormick is Kenny's reclusive younger sister. She first appeared in " Best Friends Forever ", when she and the rest of the McCormicks visited Kenny in the hospital. Kenny is shown to care a lot for his little sister, even going so far as to dress up as his alter ego Mysterion to comfort her and show her that she is never alone, as well as beating up Jessica Pinkerton for attempting to bully Karen.
In " The City Part of Town " he immediately follows Karen out of the room to comfort her when their dad yells at her, and uses the money he earned at City Wok to buy her a new doll. Kenny's grandfather did not have any speaking lines but he appeared in " Fat Camp " when Kenny, as a stunt on the 'Krazy Kenny Show', gave him a full-body massage on live television.
