The Inspiration and Story Behind Kenny

admin — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

While developing South Park, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone observed that most groups of friends in small towns included one “poor kid.” In Parker’s group growing up, this friend was named Kenny. Aside from his poverty, the real life Kenny apparently had a tendency to miss school a lot. When he failed to show up at the bus stop, Parker and his friends would jokingly suggest that he had died since the previous day, then act nonchalant whenever they saw him again. Together, these two facts helped to inspire the South Park character Kenny McCormick. (Whether or not the real Kenny was unintelligible under an orange parka is unknown.)

Interestingly, in South Park‘s original short, The Spirit of Christmas: Jesus vs. Frosty, “Kenny” was the name of the fat kid who eventually evolved into Cartman. He was killed off by the demonic Frosty first, complete with catchphrases, while another character who resembles modern Kenny died a bit later with no such fanfare. By The Spirit of Christmas: Jesus vs. Santa, however, Kenny had his proper name, design and fatally bad luck.

While Kenny’s constant deaths are his best known attribute, he has gained more longevity since the seventh season.

Why Is It Always Winter in South Park

Look all you want, but you won’t find the town of South Park on any map of Colorado. No matter. The town is clearly modeled after one of the many small, out-of-the-way towns that dot the spine of the Rockies, playing upon the insecurities that exist in small towns everywhere.

In one sense, it’s easy to explain why it’s always winter in South Park: up in those high mountain valleys, the snow lingers nine months out of the year and “summer” simply defines that season where the sun shines consistently and the nights aren’t harsh enough to kill all the newly-sprouted flowering plants.Want more? Click here/tag Die-hard fans of the show remember that in Episode 8 of Season 2, aptly named “Summer Sucks,” the town of South Park briefly thaws out in time for July 4th festivities–with disastrous results, of course.

Maybe it’s best to think of South Park’s permanent winter in terms of metaphor rather than meteorology. After all, the townspeople so frequently get hot and bothered about the day’s issues despite the cold outside. Maybe that’s Matt and Trey’s way of telling us that no matter how cold and cynical the world can be, it’s important to remain optimistic and engaged.
