The following is a list of Kenny's deaths in South Park episodes as well as in the animated shorts and other TV shows/events:
| Episode Title |
Description |
| Opening Credits |
- From seasons two to five, Kenny is killed by a grim reaper representation of Death who touches Kenny upon finishing singing his lines.
- Season six, which has a completely different look, does not feature Kenny getting killed since he is "permanently" dead. Instead, Timmy sings without getting killed.
- From season seven onwards, Kenny sings his lines while being assembled by animation director Eric Stough, he accidentally "kills" Kenny by cutting his head off rapidly with scissors. Each season has the background tweaked with a new clip each season.

(Stan is the one who says "Oh my God, they killed Kenny." Kyle says "You bastards")

| 101 |
Cartman Gets an Anal Probe |
- Blasted by an alien space ship, trampled by a herd of cattle, then run over by Officer Barbrady's Police Cruiser. His body gets whacked by Stan and he gets his head pulled off by Kyle. His body is then eaten by rats. After Kenny's body is eaten, Kyle says "Rats." In the unaired version of the episode, Kenny shows up alive at the end of the episode, after Kyle says that they are running out of friends.
|
| 102 |
Weight Gain 4000 |
- Shot by Mr. Garrison when trying to shoot Kathie Lee Gifford, which launches him into the air and is impaled on a flag pole. The "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" line is said by Kyle in this episode.
|
| 103 |
Volcano |
- Is apparently crushed by a molten rock shot from the volcano, Kyle says the "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" line in this episode, but Kenny comes out from behind the rock and says he's okay, only for his arm to catch fire and the rock to apparently roll over him; is later seen alive after the lava travels through the trench, only to be shot by Ned when he drops his gun on the ground. The "You bastards!" line is not said at any point in this episode.
|
| 104 |
Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride |
- Arms pulled off and head is knocked off by three Middle Park Cowboy football players. The "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" line is said by Kyle in this episode.
|
| 105 |
An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig |
- Knocked into microwave oven with a chair and cooked by a mutant clone of Stan. Kyle says the "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" line to the mutant clone, and then he screams "You bastards!" at the microwave.
|
| 106 |
Death |
- Touched by Death. The "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" line is said by Kyle in this episode.
|
| 107 |
Pink Eye |
- Crushed by Mir at the beginning of the episode. Revived as a zombie via Worcestershire sauce embalming.
- Cut in half with a chainsaw by Kyle to end the zombie curse. The "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" line is said by Kyle, though "they" is changed to "I", reflecting the fact that it is he who kills Kenny this time. Interestingly, this is the same episode where Stan says the line as usual (when the Mir space station crashes upon him earlier in the episode) making this the only time both Stan and Kyle have said the line in the same episode.
- Rises from his grave again at the end of the episode, but is immediately crushed by a falling angel statue and then by a crashing aeroplane. Stan and Kyle are not there to say their usual lines, as they had left with Cartman to enjoy their Halloween candy. If killing a zombie counts as "death", this would make "Pink Eye" the most fatal of all of Kenny's episodes.
|
| 108 |
Damien |
- Turned into a duckbilled platypus by the antichrist and then shot by Jimbo after Jesus and Satan's match.

|
| 113 |
Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut |
- Dragged onto train tracks by a go kart and crushed by a train. Traditionally, Stan exclaims, "Oh My God, they killed Kenny!" and Kyle chimes in with "You bastards!"

The first two times that Kenny is thought to have been killed, Stan says, "Oh my god, they killed..." They then show Kenny still alive and Stan finishes with, "Oh, never mind."

Prehistoric Ice Man |
- Caught in the conveyor belt in front of the prehistoric man exhibit. Stan says the first line as per usual, but Kyle does not say his line and instead says, "What? I'm not talking to you," since they are fighting over the man's name.

The Biggest Douche in the Universe |
- Rob Schneider eats a roast beef joint containing Kenny's recently-exorcised soul (Kenny possesses Cartman's body for a few episodes this season) and dies when Rob Schneider gets impaled by a flagpole in a movie trailer (in reference to one of Kenny's death in "Weight Gain 4000").
|
When Kenny returns, Stan is the first to notice him: "Oh hey Kenny. Dude, where've you been?" To which Kenny replied: (muffled) "I've just been hanging out."
The usual lines said whenever Kenny dies are still said in this season, but only when Jesus is killed in "Red Sleigh Down", thus the line is changed to reflect that he is the one who dies.
Kenny dies one time in this season.
Kenny dies once in season 8.

The Jeffersons |
- "Mr. Jefferson" tosses him into the ceiling. This episode is also significant for the fact that it is one of only three times in which Kenny speaks without his voice being muffled by his jacket: one other being South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. This death is also the second death of Kenny without his hood on, if you include him fading away in the movie.

Kenny dies twice in season 9.

Best Friends Forever |
- He is hit by a truck and brought to Heaven but is resuscitated and kept alive on a feeding tube (à la Terri Schiavo), which is removed and he finally dies. It's worthy to note that this is one of the very few times (including the movie) that Kenny continues to appear on-screen and play a significant part even after he is killed.
- The line is referenced twice in the episode. Outside the hospital where Kenny is in a vegitative state, Kyle leads a call/response protest where Kyle shouts, "Don't kill Kenny!" while the crowd responds, "You bastards!" The second is when they finally decide to let Kenny die and his spirit returns to heaven, the archangel Michael responds gleefully, "Oh my god, they killed Kenny!" before returning him to lead the armies of heaven.
|
Kenny does not die in season 10, though his World of Warcraft character is killed twice in the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" (though so is everyone, as they are all killed easily by a griefer). The traditional catch phrase is used on his first "death". It is also used in a slightly modified form when Chef is killed in "The Return of Chef".
So far, Kenny has not died yet in an episode.

| Jesus vs. Frosty |

|
| Jesus vs. Santa |
- Santa's psychic attack misses Jesus and hits Kenny, throwing his head into a statue of Orgazmo. Six other children are crushed to death, either by Jesus's attack on Santa's grotto or the aforementioned statue.

Suffers third degree burns when he attempts to light his fart on fire, but is ultimately killed by the ER doctors who replace his heart with a baked potato, which explodes and splatters some of his remains across the hospital room.
It has been noted that he perhaps "dies again" when he makes his unselfish wish that sends him temporarily back to Hell, before he is sent to Heaven. However, this is questionable, because it is unclear in what form he appears when he climbs out of Hell after Satan invades earth. It isn't treated as a true "resurrection", and he may have only appeared in "spirit form". The fact that he fades away may in fact back up that he was an apparition, and is not truly "alive" again.
