About

Kenneth "Kenny" McCormick is the poor and perverted kid in the group, often eating canned food and frozen waffles for dinner. He also tends to die quite a bit, being killed in innumerable ways during the first 5 seasons. Although his speech is muffled under that orange hoodie, he is the most sexually knowledgeable of the boys and often professes his love for titties.

His soul was briefly trapped in Cartman's body before it returned back to earth. He also briefly dated a 5th grader, Tammy Warner, before he died of syphilis.

Unlike most of his classmates, Kenny DOES posses a special power: He can't die. But he uses this power for good, keeping watch over South Park as the illusive superhero Mysterion.

Memorable Quotes

  • "Mrrph rmph rmmph mrrphh!"
  • "Oh my god they killed Cartman!" (Cow Days)
  • "No matter where you go, no matter what you do. I will always be there." (as Mysterion) in "(The Poor Kid)"

Ex-Girlfriends

Kenny has had 2 girlfriends over the years first he met Kelly in a rainforest tour. She saved his life by mouth-to-mouth. Next his girlfriend Tammy Warner was slut, happily Kenny took advantage of it and got a BJ out of it. It is unknown about Kenny and Tammy's relationship ,but they are most likely broke up.

Family

Kenny isn't too close with his family ,but he does seem to have fun with his brother and cares a lot about his sister. He does have a good father-son relationship with his dad. He does not seem to have much of a relationship with his mother. He must have a good relationship with his grandfather probably because he gave him a full body massage.

Groups

Residence

Kenny lives with his parents, brother, and sister at the McCormick Residence since before the show began. In The City Part of Town, South Park needed some gentrification so they built a district called South of Downtown South Park (SodoSopa) around Kenny's house. After Whole Foods came into South Park, SodoSopa was abandoned.

Featured Episodes

Video Games

South Park: The Stick of Truth

http://3.images.southparkstudios.com/sites/southparkstudios.com/sot/princess.png

The fairest maiden in all of the kingdom (or at least that's what he wants to be). This breathtaking and lovely Princess is the pride of the human faction, with her unmatched ability to charm men. Don't ask why Kenny wanted to be a chick, it's just how he seems to be rolling right now...

Kenny appears as Princess Kenny throughout the entire game, and is the second buddy to be recruited. Even though nobody's fooled by the princess outfit, he does a pretty good job of acting cute and flirty. Surprisingly, this gorgeous crossdresser is also the final boss of the game and one of the main villains, deciding to side with Big Bad Government Guy at the end (by way of a contrived and clichéd backstory as told by Morgan Freeman) and transforming himself into a Nazi Zombie.

Special Abilities:

  • Charm - distracts enemies with his royal breasts
  • Royal Kiss - kisses and subsequently grosses out any enemies.
  • Furry Friends - charms rats to attack a chosen enemy... or they kill her.
  • Unicorm Stampede - She calls upon her royal unicorn to damage enemies... or, again, it could kill her instead.

  • Kenny has died ninety-seven times in the show.
  • There are eighty-six episodes where Kenny dies.

Bonus Factoids

  • South Park's first Emmy win ever was for the Kenny-centered episode "Best Friends Forever". In this episode, Kenny's "persistent vegetative state" paralleled the controversial Terri Schiavo case.
  • When Kenny participates in a group song or musical number, his voice is never heard (for obvious reasons). In the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, while Stan, Kyle and Cartman all got extensive musical numbers (mostly shared), Kenny only had a couple of (solo) lines in the opening number "Mountain Town". Despite this, "Quintuplets 2000" has Kenny prove himself as an opera singer.
    • He also briefly sings (as a girl) while using his Furry Friends attack in The Stick of Truth. The irony here is that Furry Friends is a nod to animated Disney movies - just like the entirety of BL&U.
  • The jury is out on Kenny's middle name -- some fans speculate his middle name to be Christopher, while others favor James. There are rumors an old Comedy Central promo once gave his middle initial as a 'J.' but the promo has yet to surface.

Behind The Scenes

  • Although there's much speculation about what Kenny says in the opening credits, South Park confirmed that in Seasons 1 through 3 he says: "I like girls with big fat titties. I like girls with clean shaved pussies."
  • Kenny's unmuffled voice has been done by two different people over the years. In the movie "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut", Kenny's voice was provided by Mike Judge (creator of Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, Silicon Valley, etc.). Starting in "The Jeffersons", his voice was actually done by Animation Director/Producer Eric Stough.
  • Kenny is actually allegedly based off of one of Trey Parker's childhood friends when he was a child, also named Kenny. He said this "Kenny" was poor, wore an orange jacket, and mostly notably used to skip school and they would joke he was dead.

Kenny's Tombstone

That's Kenny's tombstone in the opening credits. It reads: "Sleep well, little child. The Lord holds thee now."
