In Season 5's "Kenny Dies," Kenny died "permanently" from muscular dystrophy. While Kenny eventually returned, his absence gave rise to many diverse characters, first and foremost being Butters. Although Kenny eventually returned in the season six finale to reclaim his spot among Stan, Kyle and Cartman, his deaths have become less frequent.
He still dies eventually -- most recently during the show's pandemic special -- but those incidents feel more like special throwbacks to the show's early days. To date, Kenny has been killed at least times between the series, specials and movies. After doing this, he walks away, only to have a piano crush him while Stan continues to weep for Kyle, oblivious to Kenny's death.
In " Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut ", the second part of a two-part episode where Kenny had died in the first part , Kenny miraculously materializes next to Stan, accompanied with angelic music, but Stan merely acknowledges him with a slightly surprised "Oh, hey, Kenny. Kenny himself seems to be somewhat aware of his own recurring death. When Stan asks why, Kenny says, "'Cause, dude, I'll fucking die. Don't be stupid. In " Tweek vs. Craig ", Kenny avoids shop class fearing the dangers of the many hazardous tools; after he narrowly avoids dying, he channels the dead girlfriend and relatives of the shop teacher for a few moments.
Also, the Lyrics of the song " Kenny's Dead " state. Would it be a car crash, a plane, a gun, or suicide?! He knew one day that the rats would come But he didn't know they was gonna scream 'bout it! And hit him with a shotgun. Near the end of the episode, Kenny is unexpectedly killed by being backed over by an ambulance. In the final scene, Kenny's mother and father fawn over the infant she has just given birth to.
Kenny's father, struck by how much the new child resembles their deceased son Kenny including orange parka , decides to name the new baby boy Kenny in his brother's memory, to which Kenny's mother declares "Yes! A brand-new Kenny! Arguably, this is indeed the 52nd incarnation of Kenny. The gag of Kenny dying in almost every episode was dropped with the airing of " Kenny Dies ", in which Kenny's death is treated with more weight; in particular, the other boys are somehow able to sense that it would be more permanent but its probably because they know the death will happen beforehand—though it should be noted that in a few episodes—for example " Pinkeye "—they treat his death as if permanent ironically, since Kenny comes back to life twice in that episode.
Unlike previous episodes which his death is over-the-top, he suffers from a serious muscular disease and the boys and their parents are shocked by it Stan in particular could not bear to see him in the hospital.
The reason Kenny was killed off in Season 6 was because Trey Parker and Matt Stone were getting tired of killing him and decided to just get rid of him but they then decided to bring him back by leaving clues of his return such as having his soul live inside of Cartman. 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. Not until the season fourteen episode, "Coon vs.
Following the penultimate episode of season five, "Kenny Dies," Kenny's deaths become much more infrequent. Aside from his bright orange parka and muffled speech, one of the most recognisable traits of South Park character Kenny McCormick is the fact that he dies… all the time.
In any other cartoon, a character who is constantly killed and somehow manages to return would maybe not go down so well with its audience. So why does poor, unfortunate Kenny die so many grisly deaths and when was the last time he died in the programme?
