Despite the neglect, Kenny has been shown to bear feelings of friendship towards Kyle, even to the point of trying to convince him of his own power as Mysterion to the point of shooting himself in front of him and Stan, much to their surprise and his later dismay when neither of them remember. However, he never stays in prison for long since the town is full of idiots.
[42] As a tribute to the Dead Parrot sketch, a short that features Kenny as a "dead friend" being returned by Cartman to a shop run by Kyle aired during a 1999 BBC television special commemorating the 30th anniversary of Monty Python's Flying Circus. When Stan finally realizes that Kenny passed on "for good", he feels like he's Kenny's worst friend (until they hear about Cartman's selfishness). He is Kenny's older brother. Despite these problems, Kenny is often portrayed as the hero of the group; indeed, many of his deaths have been acts of heroic self-sacrifice. He hasn't had very many speaking lines, but when he does speak, he seems to repeat much of what he says. He has been arrested twice - once while trying to preform prostitution in his own show, Krazy Kenny, and once for becoming a vigilante as Mysterion, although he doesn't stay in prison for long since the town is full of idiots. He only has one line, though. First appearing in "The Coon" with an unclear identity and returning in "Coon 2: Hindsight" Mysterion is shown to be a resourceful and intelligent hero with a strong sense of morals and justice - however his identity remained unknown until "Mysterion Rises" during which Mysterion opens the episode with a monologue mentioning having a power - Mysterion is later revealed to have been Kenny the entire time, and his super power being his inability to die.

The two boys often hang out with one another when Cartman and Kyle get into their arguments and Stan and Kenny don't want to listen to it, such as in "The Passion of the Jew". Other characters occasionally seem to be vaguely aware of Kenny's deaths. In fact, in "Cartmanland", Kenny was invited to go to Cartman's theme park, when Kyle and Stan couldn't come (although Kyle and Stan had tried to break in while Cartman had it closed off). It is seen that some times when something beneficial happens to the town, Cartman and Kenny are seen hugging, such as in the episodes "Red Man's Greed" and "The F Word". This is explained by the fact that Kenny is hooded all the time - being a news reporter, he would have had to show his face and have a really nice hairstyle. However, it is also shown that the two share a "best friends forever" necklace (hence the title of the episode). They killed Kenny!" Someday I'll be old enough to stick my dick up Britney's butt. His voice sounds similar to those of Terrance Mephisto, Bill, and Fosse, but he must get the accent from his mom. And in "Fourth Grade" Kenny dies on a wheeled sled and Stan says "Well, who didn't see that coming." However, sometimes - in particular shortly after a resurrection - he wears his parka to bed. However "Cat Orgy" and "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub" are all part of the same night as "Jewbilee", so technically he did die during those episodes. See "Best Friends Forever" for details

In "The Jeffersons" and "Lice Capades", Kenny's unmuffled voice was performed by Eric Stough, a former Director of Animation at South Park Studios and a now-producer of the show, making it sound more high-pitched than it did in the movie in the former, and in the latter deeper.

However it is implied that Cartman managed to sneak the necklace onto Kenny's neck in order to prove to everyone that he and Kenny were indeed best friends.

He is very untidy in appearance.
When Cartman complains, "You're never going to be a real princess", Princess Kenny responds (via her translator, Stan) angrily to Cartman, calling him a "ball-licking lesbian".
