Kenneth "Kenny" McCormick is a fictional character from the animated television series South Park. He is one of the four main children in the show, alongside Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, and Eric Cartman.

Kenny is known for his heavily muffled speech due to his orange parka hood always being drawn tightly around his face. This makes his dialogue difficult for viewers to understand, a running gag throughout the series.

A defining characteristic of Kenny is his recurring on-screen deaths. In the earlier seasons, Kenny died in almost every episode, only to reappear unharmed in the next. While the frequency of his deaths has decreased, it remains a significant part of his identity.

Originating from a poor family, Kenny's background often contrasts with the more comfortable circumstances of Stan and Kyle. Despite his hardships, he's often portrayed as a loyal friend, albeit one with questionable tendencies.

Throughout the show's run, Kenny's character has evolved, offering glimpses into his inner life and highlighting his hidden talents and desires. This adds depth to what initially appeared as a purely comedic and disposable character.
