TIL that Kenny from South Park was based on a real childhood friend of Trey Parker.

Does Trey's sister use the word "turd" every time she speaks too?

Is he as awesome as Randy in the show? Because pretty much any episode focusing on him is going to be awesome.

Randy is hands-down my favorite character on that show. Nobody makes me chuckle harder.

He said he's pretty much exactly like him, although the mannerisms are exaggerated.

This makes me happier to hear than craig when he gets birthday money from his grandma.

I don't believe his cousin has a reddit account.

Almost everyone is based on someone they know.

I feel sorry for this guy, who is apparently a partial inspiration for Butters. The amount of crap that character goes through ... let's hope it was as much of a stretch as Kenny dying every week was.

I'm relieved to know that it wasn't a childhood friend who actually did die.
From Cartman's wikipedia page:
I wonder what the story is behind that guy.
From what I've heard, I'm pretty sure Karpman, Parker and Stone attended the same high school and later, when making their animated shorts, Parker and Stone partially both named and based a character on their friend Karpman. If what I've read recently is correct, I think they're still supposed to be friends even nowdays.
Parker and Stone didn't attend the same high school.
Then I have been fed lies.
