South Park: Every Main Character Ranked Worst To Best

Kenny does very little in regards to narrative or comedy in the show, excluding the motif of his persistent deaths and resurrections. This alongside the joke that you cannot make out any of what he says ultimately should make him an underdeveloped character who ranks far lower on the list, but he is almost at the pinnacle thanks to a collection of reasons.

Firstly, if you were to show images of the characters to audience members who've never seen South Park, they likely would still recognise Kenny, not by name but by look. His orange parker and covered face are an iconic part of the show and have even gone on to be a visible part of popular culture.

In addition to this, he has plenty of character traits outside of his non-speaking and constant deaths. Kenny is shown to be impulsive and a pleasure seeker, he takes drugs at times, seems to be the most lustful kid and generally acts in a far less decent way than others.

Finally, he has had some of the more heartfelt moments within the series, with a specific example being his relationship with his sister.

All of this comes together to make him one of the best and most memorable aspects of South Park.
