How many times has South Parks Kenny died or been killed?
No dates on this…but, at least 101 times. Kenny is best known in the show for his recurring death in nearly every episode of the first five seasons, often followed by some variant of “Oh my God, they killed Kenny!” and “You bastards!” from his friends Stan and Kyle, respectively. The gag has many precedents, going back at least as far as the regular cry “You rotten swine! You’ve deaded me!” by Bluebottle voiced by Peter Sellers in The Goon Show in 1951. In the first few episodes, Kyle said the entire phrase. Later on, it varied, depending on who killed Kenny. Kenny died in almost all the episodes until the writers killed him off permanently in the fifth season, but he returned in the sixth season, when they dispensed with the practice of killing him in every episode, as they got bored with the joke.
