South Park: 10 Funniest Kenny Deaths

6. Death By Stray Bullet - "The List"

South Park
Comedy Central

Sometimes, you don't need a significant set-up or even his involvement in the story - just seeing Kenny die spontaneously is enough. This is one of the show's best examples of this, as the plot exists entirely without Kenny, yet he still ends up biting the bullet, quite literally in this case.

The List is a hilarious episode that exposes a conspiracy amongst the girls of South Park after a list ranking the boys from ugliest to cutest is discovered. In response, Stan joins forces with Wendy to learn why Kyle was voted ugliest. In typical South Park fashion, the entire thing gets blown out of proportion and ends in a dramatic climax atop the school.

During this finale, Bebe pulls a gun and - after a struggle with Wendy - ends up firing it. The camera pulls back to reveal which of the pair got shot but shows that they are both fine. We then cut to Kenny eating peacefully with his family and the stray bullet entering through the window and taking him out.

This death's suddenness is hilarious, and seeing him collapse into his cereal is a mean-spirited punchline.
