While it may be hard to understand him, some of the best Kenny McCormick quotes on South Park are also the most memorable of the show. Audiences all know and love Kenny McCormick as the quiet kid from South Park, who is best friends with Cartman, Stan, and Kyle. Although Kenny doesn't say much, when he does get the chance to speak, his lines are usually deep and hilarious. During the first few seasons of the animated Comedy Central series, there isn't all that much to Kenny's character aside from the fact that he gets ripped on constantly for being poor, and he frequently comes face to face with death.

Yet as South Park progressed, viewers truly got to know the mysterious Kenny McCormick, and during that time, he quickly became a fan favorite. This is especially true in later seasons as Kenny is given his own storylines, including a glimpse into his family life and backstory. As well, Kenny was finally heard clearly through his superhero alter-ego Mysterion, arguably the coolest hero in the Coon & Friends/Freedom Pals storyline. Although, for the most part, audiences can barely understand Kenny, when he takes off that fluffy orange parka, audiences are often met with serious words of wisdom. Here are the best Kenny McCormick quotes on South Park.

10 "For You! A Better Place For You!"

Season 14, Episode 13, "Coon vs. Coon & Friends"

Cartman's superhero alter ego "the Coon" and Kenny's "Mysterion" are at odds from the get-go, and their argument in the South Park episode "Coon vs. Coon & Friends" is evidence of that. In the episode, the two get into an altercation, in which Cartman says, "I'm making the world a better place!" and Kenny aptly shoots back, "For you! A better place for you!" These lines are exchanged as Cartman is dressed as The Coon (his unsuccessful superhero), while Kenny is disguised as Mysterion (the very successful superhero).

Although Kyle is usually the one to point out all of Cartman's wrongdoings, when Kenny puts on his Mysterion disguise, he allows himself to become much more verbal and opinionated with Cartman, leading to some of the more poignant Kenny McCormick quotes. Mysterion is set on making the world a better place like a proper superhero, whereas Cartman, of course, just wants fame and attention.

9 "It's Not That F***ing Serious..."

Season 4, Episode 6, "Cherokee Hair Tampons"

In the season 4 South Park episode "Cherokee Hair Tampons," the boys try to convince Cartman to give Kyle one of his kidneys because they have the same blood type. When Cartman says he will only do it for $10 million, being one of the pettiest things Cartman ever did, Stan gets furious. This prompts Stan to say, "Dude, one of your friends is going to die! Don't you see how serious this is?" Kenny, who has died countless times, claps back with one of the most hilarious Kenny McCormick quotes, "It's not that f***ing serious..."

Of course, Kenny says this line because he dies pretty much all the time. His constant death used to be a more common running gag on the show, occurring in nearly every episode, yet nowadays, his deaths are a rarer occurrence. In some episodes, the boys are fully aware of his many deaths, yet in other episodes such as "Kenny Dies," it is as though he has never been killed before and his death is taken very seriously. Most of the time though, the boys associate Kenny's death with something as mundane as their friend catching a cold.

8 "I Can't Die. I've Experienced Death Countless Times..."

Season 14, Episode 12, "Mysterion Rises"

Kenny's inability to fully die is characterized as a superpower in the South Park episode "Mysterion Rises," prompting one of the best Kenny McCormick quotes. In the installment, Captain Hindsight attempts to find blackmail on the Coon by sneaking into their superhero lair. Most of the boys attempt to make peace with Hindsight, except for Kenny's Mysterion, who dares him to shoot him, saying, "I can't die. I've experienced death countless times."

At this point, Mysterion goes into a long-winded speech about how dying all of the time has affected his life and how others view him, but in the end, he truly sees it as Mysterion's very real superpower. It's one of the best Kenny quotes because it gives audiences a glimpse into the mysterious mind of Kenny McCormick, who usually only gets to be the butt of the joke.

7 "What The F**k Is He Doing With Stuffed Animals And Tea?"

Season 1, Episode 13, "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Sl*t"

One of the funniest yet barely audible Kenny McCormick quotes, Kenny muffles "What the f**k is he doing with stuffed animals and tea?" under his orange park when he sees Eric Cartman — an undeniable psychopath — secretly having a tea party with all of his stuffed animals. The boys are shocked to see their friend who boasts such a big game as an evil mastermind doing something as innocent as having a tea party with his childhood toys.

While the episode is one of the South Park storylines that have aged poorly, the contrast in Cartman's behavior from absurdly heinous to wildly wholesome is ultimately what makes him even scarier because audiences never truly know what side of Eric Cartman they're going to get. Kenny's reaction is hilarious because he is so rebellious in comparison to Cartman (at least as it seems in this scene).

6 "That's It! I'm Sick Of This Bull S**t. Screw You Guys, I'm Going Home..."

Season 4, Episode 6, "Cherokee Hair Tampons"

Once again, Kenny's friends seem to be exceedingly concerned with the fact that one of their own is going to bite the dust, but only when it's not Kenny. In the episode, Kyle's mom Sheila opts for herbal medicine to cure Kyle's kidney failure, and Stan blurts out, "Kyle's gonna die, Kenny! Herbal medicine is going to kill my best friend!" This of course angers Kenny, who says one of the funniest Kenny McCormick quotes, "That's it! I'm sick of this bull s**t. Screw you guys, I'm going home..."

This line is usually reserved as one of Eric Cartman's best quotes (more so in the earlier seasons than as of late), but Kenny also got the chance to say this line during a scene where Stan starts crying over the fact that Kyle is supposedly going to die. Kenny then becomes sick of Stan getting all up in arms over Kyle's fate when he never seems to care if Kenny dies. Right after he says this line, he gets killed by a piano falling down on him.

5 "You B*stard!"

Season 2, Episode 18, "Prehistoric Ice Man"

As the gag usually goes with South Park, Kenny gets killed, and then Stan or Kyle shouts, "Oh my God! They killed Kenny! You b*stards!" However, the tables are turned in South Park season 2, episode 18, "Prehistoric Ice Man" when Cartman kills Kyle. In turn, Stan says, "Good job Cartman, you killed Kyle!" and Kenny finally gets to be the one to respond "You b*stard!" It's one of the best Kenny McCormick quotes because he's finally on the other end of the joke for once.

Kenny is usually not around to say such cuss words because he is most often dead whenever the line is uttered, but now it is his chance to say the words that are usually reserved for Kyle. One of the most hilarious aspects of South Park is how nonchalant it is when it comes to death. It is all part of its dark humor, making South Park one of the funniest dark comedies of all time.

4 "I Assume You Must Be Eric Cartman Because You Are Fat."

Season 13, Episode 2, "The Coon"

Any time Mysterion shows up is a South Park episode when Kenny steals the show. One of the best Kenny quotes comes from when Mysterion meets the Coon, and the latter is desperately trying to hide his real identity, but to no avail. Kenny says this line when he is in his Mysterion disguise as he is conversing with The Coon, who is, in fact, Eric Cartman.

It's hilarious to see the stark contrast between Cartman's superhero alongside Kenny's because when Kenny gets all the praise as Mysterion (and people genuinely have no idea who Mysterion is), Cartman is seen as an utter joke as The Coon. When it comes to The Coon, no one sees him as disguised because they know that Eric Cartman is the only fat kid in their fourth-grade class.

3 "You're Talking To The Wrong F***ing Cowboy."

Season 14, Episode 12, "Mysterion Rises"

In the South Park episode "Mysterion Rises," Kenny reveals how he truly feels about dying all the time. But the reason the ending portion of his speech is one of the best Kenny McCormick quotes is that it's such an out-of-left-field statement after such a heart-wrenching speech. "So you want to whine about curses? You're talking to the wrong f***ing cowboy."

This line is both hilarious and at the same time wildly heartbreaking because audiences finally get to go deep with Kenny McCormick and see how he really feels about his constant death. But more importantly, we find out his pure annoyance and sorrow when it comes to how his friends react to his terrible fate. He finally calls them out, and it's one of the best moments in South Park history, considering how he has been dying over and over again since the '90s.

2 "At The Dawn Of War, I Stand Alone, Looking Out At What Would Be The Last Battlefield, For Winter Is Coming, And I Am A Princess..."

Season 17, Episode 8, "A Song of A** and Fire"

One of the best Kenny McCormick quotes comes from the Game of Thrones-themed South Park episode "A Song of A** and Fire." The second part of a two-parter sees the group split into factions over purchasing either the Playstation 4 or the Xbox One this coming Black Friday. Kenny decides to side with Stan's Playstation group, since Cartman's Xbox group wouldn't allow him to be a princess.

The fact that Kenny took on the role of Khaleesi was just too good to be true, and fans of both South Park and Game of Thrones became obsessed with his character, Princess Kenny. Princess Kenny was carried on to the South Park video game "Stick of Truth" and is one of his most beloved alter egos on the show.

1 "...His Ceremony Will Finally Take Place On The Morrow."

Season 16, Episode 11, "Going Native"

One of the South Park episodes that didn't age well is season 16, episode 11, "Going Native." However, the episode does contain one of the best Kenny McCormick quotes. In the installment, Butter's becomes unruly and overwhelmed by anger, prompting his parents to send him away to Hawaii to participate in a rite of passage. Kenny joins him at the behest of Kyle and the others, and writes them a letter about Butters' wellbeing.

"As for Butters, he is quickly learning the ways of his ancestors and seems to be feeling better with every passing day. He still seems quite angry at times, but luckily his ceremony will finally take place on the morrow." Kenny says these words in the episode "Going Native," and it's always hilarious to hear what Kenny has to say because we rarely get to hear from the kid. Yet when he does speak, he is constantly hysterical, and he is secretly a total oddball who says things like "On the morrow." What would South Park be without the mysterious Kenny McCormick?
