Death Is No Mysterion

Background by


Kenny is a fine example of the importance of existentialism. While the intent of killing Kenny in nearly every episode during the first five seasons of "South Park" was solely based on humor, his recurring deaths have played a role in subconsciously making the show's viewers more comfortable with the inevitability of their own deaths. This has subsequently served to teach people the importance of finding meaning in their own lives based on what they personally think life and death should be about, disregarding societal norms, religion, and peers.
