Talk:Kenny McCormick/Archive 1

message: It does seem slightly short to me but that's not my main point, which is that the list of pupils in the school has many entries (such as []) are now significantly longer than Kenny's article. This is just silly. If they stay that length then Kenny should have more -- particularly about his deaths, any information on which has vanished since the merge -- and if Kenny's article stays this length which is totally fine by me then everyone else should be hacked down to reality.
: Also the entry on [] is actually longer than this one. That's daft. They should be swapped round.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.66.28.146 (talk) 19:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I think this article is too long. Is a list of every single episode whether he died or not really necessary? I think per-episode trivia like that should be integrated into List of South Park episodes.--Jeffthejiff | Talk 14:47, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too long... 

message: There was an immortal named Kenny who was stuck at the age of around 10 or so, and who was over 1000 years old, in the 1990s Highlander series. Since the Highlander immortals typically died many times but were endlessly revived (until their heads were cut off), is it worth mentioning this character in the South Park Kenny article?

message: Should we add something about the Season Six episode, "The Biggest Douche in the Universe", where Rob Schneider eats the pot roast Kenny was in and, after a montage with him as Kenny, gets killed like in Weight Gain 4000? You know...
"Rob Schneider is a somewhat popular comedic actor who seemed to have it all, until one day, he came across a pot roast and his life changed forever. Now he's sharing his body with an 8 year old boy, and he's about to find out that being 8 ain't so great. Rob Schneider is Kenny, rated PG-13." - NES Boy 23:02, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

message: In the song "Objects in the Rear-View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" by Meatloaf, the first verse is about a boy named Kenny who died, and the second verse is about having an alcoholic father.  Coincidence, or deliberate on the part of the writers?  I didn't find anything on a quick google, but ... dsws 21:25, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I watched this episode the other day, and it doesn't look like Kenny died at the bus stop. All I saw was that rats were chewing on him at night. He wasn't necessarily dead. --Rai 19:30, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

message: It seems more likely that Kenny is Scottish-American rather than Irish-American. McCormick is a Scottish name. In fact, "Mc", meaning "ancester of" is more common in the Scottish, while the Irish term for "ancestor of" is "O'". I'm not saying that all Americans whose surname starts with "Mc" should be considered Scottish-American. I'm just saying, if Kenny is of European descent, then it's more likely Scottish than Irish.

replies: text: Actually, "Mc" is shared between Irish and Scottish (though the older Scottish spelling is "Mac" rather than "Mc") so I wouldn't say that necessarily proves Kenny's heritage is Scottish vs.Irish. There is a Scottish clan MacCormack, however, and I can affirm from my own family history that Scottish "Mac" surnames have been shortened in America. McGehee 18:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Kenny is a Morman because in the movie he goes to heaven and in the show when they show Satin talking to everyone about which religon was the right one he says it was Mormans.
:This doesn't necessarily mean he's a Mormon. He went to Heaven in the movie because he performed the ultimate good deed, and Heaven in the episode "Super Best Friends" because he had to, in order to control the Golden PSP.
that episode is called Best Friends Forever--Greenday21 (talk) 13:12, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

no he says i like girls with big fat titties and really deep vaginas
On the new one, he says “I like licking sweaty minges, I like fucking horny bitches!”

thread_title: Make love, not warcraft

message: I would like to see more information regarding Kenny's impact on pop culture.  He's one of the most famous and recognisable characters on the show; there should be mention of any references to him in the media, as well as the number of products based around him.  Currently, the "appearances without parka" and "talents" sections seem very fannish and unencyclopedic.  Have Trey Parker and Matt Stone ever explained how they came up with Kenny or what they think of him?  Sorry to moan, but I think this article could be great with a little clean-up.  Paul730 10:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: In-universe

message: One part of the article claims that Kenny was born in 1989, which would make him 18 years old. However, he is literally only half that age, as he is nine years old. I've changed it. 81.145.242.134 21:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't matter when he was born, even if it was consistent, which it clearly isn't because the show has a floating timeline.  Kenny is a fictional character and therefore issues such as in-universe dates are irrelevent.  What you should be focusing on is his first appearance, which I assume is that Xmas short with Jesus and Santa, although I'm not 100%.  Paul730 03:30, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This Doesn't Make Sense... 

message: This articles needs some major changes in layout.  There should be a section entitled "Appearances" which details his history on the show; his first appearances in the shorts and being written out in Season 5 etc.  The next should be a "Characterization" section which incorporates the current "Talents" section.  The "appearances without parka" list should be written in prose in a paragraph under "Characterization."  The "Deaths" section is fine where it is, but could use a rewrite.  Paul730 04:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is looking better but it still needs major improvement.  The main problem is that it treats Kenny like a real person as opposed to a fictional character.  See articles like Jason Voorhees, Jabba the Hutt, and Jack Sparrow to see how fictional characters should be handled.  The talents section has no real-world context whatsoever, and should be shortened considerably and moved to the "Personality/Characterization" section, if it should be included at all.  "Family" and "Relationships" section are also in-universe and need improvement.  The "Death" section is too long IMO, especially since there are two other articles about what is essentially just a joke.  Sentences like "One episode explained that his soul returns to his Mother, and takes to another body, is reborn, and then grows to be 8 or 9 years old in record time" treat the joke far too seriously and is partially original research (is it ever stated anywhere that his "soul returns to his mother"?).  This is what I meant by "resembles a fan-site" - this page should be written in a real-world context for those who have no understanding of the character as opposed to being bogged down with examples and unnecessary detail which are only of interest to fans.  Also, the lead is too short - it should summarise the rest of the article.  Sorry for the criticism, I'm working on the Buffy character pages and they suffer from very similar flaws. :)  Paul730 15:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Okay, I really hope you're kidding. You find a reliable source that proves that Kenny or any other South Park character exists in another dimension and visits people in their dreams, and we can lend question to whether he is fictional or not.  Until then, your claims of his actual existance are original research, not to mention just plain silly.  He isn't real, and the article must reflect that.  Paul730 13:47, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Changes

message: The "Death" section contradicts itself in first saying that people are not aware of Kenny's deaths..and then goes on to list the people who are aware (which is almost everybody) and when they express this awareness. It just plain makes no sense, and the entire section is messy and hard to navagate. Thank-you very-much.  --Wack'd Talk to me! • Admire my handiwork! 02:14, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Agreed wholeheartedly.  The fancruft needs to be cut, and certainly all the OR should be removed ASAP either way. Yes, Kenny dying is a big running gag of the show, but it doesn't need 2-3 articles covering it and should just be discussed as an encyclopedic topic in the Kenny article.

thread_title:  List of deaths 

message: The article is being expanded again. While I'm all right with this, I predict it won't be long before fans start inserting padding and cruft in here again; some have tried to move it back completely to the way it was before all that junkalunk was removed. Before it needs to be reduced to a stub again, I think we should work primarily on getting external information on Kenny, in other words, expanding his "Other media" section and basically ignoring the rest of the sections.
