Yeah, they did ask Kenny why he ran off. In spite of the classic “OH, MY GOD! They killed Kenny!” “YOU BASTARDS!” when he was killed. ---

And truly, the motion picture was the first time it was even addressed. I think the true answer is “whatever is convenient to plot”. ---

[QUOTE=singular1] was the LeBron sendup? [/QUOTE] > [@jackdavinci](#): > > I was very lucky - I happened to not fast forward through this show commercial, so I recognized the parody. OTOH I have no idea what it was about beyond the commercial they were parodying… (and’ it’s vague resemblance to the BP commercials)… I noticed in one of the airings of this SP episode, they showed the LeBron “What should I do?” ad during the commercial break just minutes before it was parodied. ---

Those comic book pages they used for a lot of stuff, I loved those. I also like how they got all meta about people all over the internet asking who was who last week. Everyone calling Mysterion Kenny even before anything happened to prove it to us, Mosquito’s mom calling him (with the other’s whose identities were in doubt standing next to him silently until he responded), Kite saying the classic “you bastards” line. Kewl. ---

I’m predicting that the latest “shocking twist” that will be revealed in the next episode of SP is that… [spoiler]Kenny’s biological father is _actually_ Cthulu! think about it, what are the chances of two “normal” humans producing offspring incapable of dying? IIRC, Kenny has a brother that’s never seen on screen, only referred to offhand plus, Kenny seemed to recognize the “in stranger Aeons, Death may die” line for some reason, it seemed to resonate within him I see it this way, Mr. and Mrs McCormick go to the Cthulu society party, Mrs McC gets drunk and somehow impregnated by either a cult member channeling the Big C, or by Big C Himself, but since she doesn’t remember what happened at the party, she thinks her husband is the father of her unborn child, that becomes Kenny [/spoiler] remember, I predicted it here first… ---

Just remember that Kenny doesn’t come back to life so much as reincarnate very quickly (except that one time when it took a while. Burning his corpse apparently slows him down a lot. And getting stuck inside someone else probably didn’t help.) ---

> [@MacTech](#): > > IIRC, Kenny has a brother that’s never seen on screen, only referred to offhand The pickiest of nits. [Kenny’s brother shows up a lot](http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/Kevin_McCormick). He just doesn’t have any lines. This doesn’t necessarily disprove your theory, however. ---

Remember, every time Kenny dies, he gets replaced by an identical copy. Perhaps, once you are impregnated by Cthulu, you never stop having babies. And the McCormicks don’t notice since they keep having sex all the time, and probably attribute a lot of weird stuff to their drug use. ---

Perhaps, once you are impregnated by Cthulu, you never stop having babies. And the McCormicks don’t notice since they keep having sex all the time, and probably attribute a lot of weird stuff to their drug use. Yeah…there’s no consistency with this. In one episode, he keeps getting reborn from his Mom and growing very fast. But in other episodes, including this one, he just pops back into existence with no one remembering he even died.
