Kenny McCormick, voiced by Matt Stone, is a fictional character in the animated series South Park. He is one of the four central characters, all of whom are eight-year old boys.
Kenny is most famous for dying in nearly every episode, often followed by a cry of "Oh my God! They killed Kenny!" and "You bastards!" from his friends Stan and Kyle. In the Succubus episode #303 he even dies twice: first when the boys are waiting for Chef to come play baseball, then the next day when he is squashed by the Succubus during chef's wedding.
He is also well-known for almost always wearing his orange hood (although he does remove it during the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and in at least one season eight episode, "The Jeffersons"). Due to his hood, which covers his mouth and nose, all of his lines are mumbled, and are usually such that they'd be censored if they weren't. He has a colorful sense of humor and a perverted mind. Kenny's lines in the South Park theme song are:
- I like girls with big fat titties; I like girls with big vaginas.
In season 3, this changed to:
In season seven, this changed to
- Someday I'll be old enough to stick my dick in Britney's butt.
Kenny's family is extremely poor, with his father an alcoholic, and his friends (especially Eric Cartman) often tease him about it.
Despite these problems, Kenny is often portrayed as the hero of the group; indeed, several of his deaths have been acts of heroic self-sacrifice. Matt & Trey tried to kill him off for a year (he died in the "Hell's Pass Hospital" of a muscle disease) and replaced him first with Butters and then Tweek. During the 2002 Christmas episode Kenny returned after being trapped in the depths of Cartman. During the following season, he seemed to have lost his bad luck and didn't die anymore. Kenny's lucky streak ended during the 2003 Christmas episode ("It's Christmas in Canada").
Kenny wears an orange hooded parka with brown gloves. It has not been widely noted, but it is very clear that he is dressed in this way to make him appear like a big vagina. Underneath his hood he has blonde hair, which looks very similar to that of another South Park character, Tweek.
