Could the coolest kid in South Park raise his hand. Not you, Kahl.
"Dr. Pepper, what flavour is it? Is is root beer or cola?" That is one of the biggest questions in the newest South Park episode I just finished watching, and am totally not in the process of watching again.
Most people who know me actually expect me to say Cartman is my favourite of the boys, seeing as my favourite character of all time (other than the subject of this post) is Towelie, or at least Stan or Kyle, since I'm sort of a bitch (Kyle) and a little bit of a pussy (like Stan). But in reality, Kenny is the only one for me. Not only is he the raunchiest, most badass character ever, he's also the one who seems to have the most insight out of all of them, probably due to his position in the town's socioeconomic ladder.
He's uh, quite low on that ladder...
Need I even mention the sex jokes? The ones you sometimes I have to strain to catch, but are so worth it when you do? And do I have to bring up the way he expertly riles up Cartman, the best of all characters, with the exception of Kyle, although Eric tends to rile himself up more about Kyle than Kyle actually does, but I digress. Cartman's jokes "toe" the line (toe is in quotations, because I'm really quite sure they cross the line by quite a bit, really), but Kenny, with his voice being muffled, which basically censors itself, has access to so much more material, seeing as he doesn't need to be bleeped out when he says... undesirable things.
That hood is not only fashionable, it's a useful creative tool too!
And now, in this latest episode, we get to see a softer side of Kenny, which we don't often get to see. We see a Kenny, who is normally shown to be independent and light-heartedly brash, looking out for his terrified little sister. In order to make her feel safer, he dons his costume and assumes his super identity of Mysterion, whom Karen believes to be her guardian angel.
Need I say more? The kid's a sweetie-pie.
Need I say more about Mysterion? Of course! He is the greatest thing to ever happen to Kenny's character in the whole run of the show. Not only does he carry over Kenny's mysterious ability to not die, but he also retains the power to have no one remember his deaths after the fact. This is a power Mysterion believes to be a curse, which he often complains about to Coon and the others. This, along with Mysterion's other line topics, helps to display Kenny's darker, less childish side, revealing a mature boy with remarkable insight.
He shall continue to rise, while fans love him.
All in all, this episode is now one of my favourites, obviously due to it being pretty much Kenny-centric, with a few interruptions from Cartman, for which he can, of course, be forgiven. Kenny will continue to be my favourite character, only aided by episodes such as this one.
And I mean, is he not the cutest little preschooler ever?
I leave you know, with an amateur sketch and a message:
I'm white trash, and I'm in trouble!
And this is an amateur sketch of the greatest South Park character ever. Period.
Cheers!
This cutie-pie, along with everything else South Park, belongs to Matt and Trey. :)
