South Park - Kenny

South Park - Kenny

Comedy Central
It is fortunate that Kenny is always tucked into the hood of his orange parka, because he smells bad. Poor people do. Yes, the outfit makes it difficult to understand what he's saying, but who cares? He's poor. His family is poor, and they live on the poor side of town. Poor, poor, poor. That's why Kenny dies each week. He deserves it for being poor.

Or, at least that's what Cartman would say. Lately Kenny's back from the dead and doing well in South Park. He doesn't die every week... yet.

Kenny's been killed by just about everyone on the show. Some of his more memorable deaths were at the hands of Santa Claus, Mr. Hat, the Mir Space Station and just about all of his friends, by accident, of course.

You can watch video clips of my favorite South Park episodes with Kenny by clicking one of these episode titles: "Ladder to Heaven," "Pinkeye," "Clubhouses," "Jewbilee," "Fat Camp" and "How to Eat With Your Butt."
