[CANON] Kenny McCormick || South Park || Reserve || Personality
"I don't think I've ever seen a kid as cool as you, Kenny."
-Jimbo Kern
Foul mouthed, immature, perverted, optimistic, and open minded are all simple ways of describing Kenny McCormick but then- we're up to 17 seasons now and a lot's happened. He's gone a long way from that death gag character no one could understand. Infact, all those high pitched words mumbled from behind a parka hood have always been that- words, it was just hard to hear what he was saying.
Well- most of the time it's dirty/perverted, but that's just what type of kid he is. He's that kid in any group of friends that isn't afraid of making a well timed vagina joke, or comment about a woman's rocking rack, and at the same time knows enough about the subject that he can answer when his friend asks him about what a dildo is. Kenny's got a weakness for ladies as can be seen in many situations throughout the series. At one point he takes away from a rather thoughtful letter he writes to his friends just to mention a woman with amazing boobs on a beach nearby where he's visiting with his friend Butters (Season 16- Episode 11: Going Native). The letter really was thoughtful, Kenny's inner monologue is rather... distinguished:
"My dearest friends,
I am living amongst the natives in the remote and tiny island of Hawaii. What can I tell you of this mysterious island and it's people. It is a place of wonder, and yet to the outsider like me, a place of- odd tradition. The people here are peaceful and joyous, and seem to care little for the rush and worry of the outside world.
Their diet it mostly an odd mixture of coconut milk, pineapple juice, and vodka, which they call the 'chichi'.
As for Butters, he is quickly learning the ways of his ancestors, and seems to be feeling better with every passing day. He still seems quite angry at times but luckily his ceremony will finally take place on the 'morrow.
To wit I have found nothing wrong with this remote place, and I must admit it will be with some melancholy that I will leave this island and return home.
I saw this chick in a bikini on the beach too, she had the nicest boobs ever.
Humbly yours,
Kenneth."
To which his friend Stan has to say, "'On the 'morrow,' what the fuck is wrong with Kenny?" Showing that this more intelligent side of Kenny is something that doesn't show through except for in certain instances. Here- in his letter, and another example is in his character 'Mysterion'- Mysterion being a different persona Kenny plays as with his friends when they pretend to be super heroes. In the episodes The Coon, Coon 2: Hindsight, Mysterion Rises, Coon vs. Coon & Friends and The Poor Kid, Mysterion, or rather Kenny, shows a much more calculating, justice enforcing side, with a strong sense of loyalty and herosim. Kenny even shows a more deep weakness he has, his problem with his ability of immortality. He goes as far to shoot himself in the head to make a point to his friends that they won't actually remember when he revives the next day. (Whenever Kenny dies, he revives the next day and for the most part, no one ever remembers he had died at all, as if it never happened. In some cases he does not revive right away which is usually for comedy's sake on the show's creators part.) Though this anger at his ability is shown through his playing of Mysterion, he still shows an amazing sense of heroism. Sometimes it shows through without a mask, like in the episode 'A Nightmare on the Face of Time', where he tells his friends how to ambush a group of vigilantes.
The difficulty with death is something Kenny seems to always have. Early in the series, before they had planned out much character development wise, Kenny's character was used a lot for humourous death situations. But since then it's become more and more a part of his character. He always shows aversion to death and even can be extra cautious sometimes when a situation seems fatal. But he usually goes along with it because that's just his style. Kenny's always been that friend to eat bugs for a dollar, or cut open a manatee with a scalpel in class dissection for five bucks (he'll pretty much do anything for money). But still he has morals. Kenny likes his friends and follows them and plays with them. Just like one can depends on Kyle for finding the moral after an adventure, or depend on Cartman to get offended at something ridiculous, one can depend on Kenny for being there for his friends. In the episodes 'Jewbilee' and 'Going Native' Kenny joins Kyle and Butters respectively during two different trips, despite having nothing to do with where either trip is going or it's purpose. He's just a loyal friend. He shows loyalty to his family as well, in the episode 'The Poor Kid', Kenny saves his sister from a bully and tells her he'll always be there for her.
-Still, he's not afraid to coax a girl to Red Robin after hearing she gave a guy a blow job once for bringing her there (Season 13- Episode 1: The Ring- in that case he dies from getting a STI from her at the end of the episode, revives in the the next though). Kenny's got sex on the mind a lot of the time, he even is shown to have very provocative posters in his bedroom. Though- he doesn't seem to disrespect women purposely like Cartman, and even takes on a female character when they all play 'Game of Thrones' together, playing the role of Lady McCormick, and later becoming Princess Kenny (Season 17- Episodes 7-9). Kenny takes his characters and costumes very very seriously, and seems to really enjoy being someone other than himself. This might be because of his difficult family life with neglectful, abusive, drug addict parents who are extremely poverty stricken... That might have something to do with it.
He seems to be pretty used to it though and deals as he can, knowing he himself can't really change it. So as Mysterion, he manages to scare his parents into caring about their kids more, giving them an allowance, doing drugs less, etc. He does care, he just plays out his feelings through characters. As himself, he shows to be optimistic, tolerant, and playful. Despite being so optimistic, he does seem to just- want to stay dead some of the time. Dying is painful for him every time it happens, and after you die over 50 times well- you get tired of it. Kenny doesn't seem to be a depressed person, but you can only take so much of death.
While he seems to have morals as far as his friends and family is concerned- he still doesn't seem to turn anything down when there's money involved. Cartman uses this a lot against him, things like tossing a dollar bill on the ground to get the shot gun seat in a car away from Kenny. Kenny even ends up giving Howard Stern a hummer for a really small amount of money in the episode 'Fat Camp'. Hm- well I shouldn't really say morals, maybe more- dignity- he tends to lack dignity in a lot of instances, at one point he dies from strangling himself while masturbating when he's told it'll give him an amazing orgasm, and another time spends a good amount of his life getting addicted to a drug that gives him amazing hallucinations. So yeah uh- dignity is a little low, especially when money's involved, or he's getting something sexual or an ultra good high out of it.
His tendency to do anything for money comes from the rather large lack of money in his life. Kenny is usually shown drinking water when the rest of the kids have soda, brings a meager bag lunch to school, and his house is torn apart and rat infested. This still doesn't seem to get him down, but he doesn't turn down a stray dollar or two when he's bet it, showing that he can be rather open minded with the right incentive. A lot of his money he seems to save though, for tickets for a date with a girl, certain toys/games he really wants, intense costumes for roleplaying games with his friends, and even condoms- how very responsible of him. Though the fact that he saves his money shows that he does realize the worth of it and understands the importance of patience.
Over all he really is just a kid, tends to be one of the smarter kids in the show, as well as being a lot more mature than all his sexual jokes and innuendos imply. He can't die, has a hard family life, and makes a lot of poor decisions, but through and through he's just a care free kid wanting the best in life for himself, his family, and his friends.
