The Origins of "Kenny" From 'South Park' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Everyone has that unpredictable childhood friend. Y’know, the one who wears his orange jacket with the hood drawn tight and has a habit of inexplicably going missing. For South Park creator Trey Parker, that friend was named Kenny. Real-life Kenny, like cartoon Kenny, would disappear fairly often, leaving Trey and his friends to ponder the muffled kid’s whereabouts. Parker’s buddies would jokingly insist that Kenny had died whenever he wouldn’t show up for the school bus, thus creating the “I/you/he/she/it/they killed Kenny” meme.
