They Killed Kenny Again / Fan Works

• In the Final Fantasy fanfic Cid Wars, Biggs and Wedge are killed every time they show up, amounting to at least a dozen times over the course of the fic.
  • A FanFiction.Net author by the handle of Carbuncle frequently kills off Aeris in his Final Fantasy VII fanfics, which is followed by exclamations of "Oh my god, they killed Aeris!" "You beasts!" This is an obvious reference to Kenny's deaths on South Park.
• In Chris McFeely's later Digimon fics, the series' running gag of Leomon dying becomes this.
• Kyo Kusanagi died repeatedly in the early chapters of The King of Fighters improfanfic Reforming Evil Can Be Tricky. It quickly became a Running Gag.
• Sunsetshine in Hidden Prophices.
• Dirge in the Transformers fic, They Just Don't Care Anymore, dies in almost every chapter, even parodied in the Halloween Special, where he dresses up as Kenny and, predictably, dies.
  • He fares no better in canon.
• In the Ed, Edd n Eddy fanfic YouTube Ed, after chapter 6, Eddy gets brutally killed in some sort of way. Edd and Edder then give an obvious South Park reference, as seen below. This was actually required in one chapter to find Edder, though the kids found out it was a trap for them the whole time.
  Edd: Oh my goodness, they killed Eddy!
  Edder: You bastards.
  Ed: I see an obvious crossover here!
• Gory Toons: Like with Happy Tree Friends, almost everyone. Notable exception includes Clara, Flippy, and Splendid. Kirby has just barely died the most times, with Kenny at a close second.
• Death Is Cheap in Ink City, and Ren tends to die a lot. The fact few of the other residents seem to notice or care make him even bitterer than usual.
• Adric in Doctor Who fanfic setting This Time Round.
• In The Emiya Clan, Lancer gets this shoved upon him at every possible point. It got to the point where AU!Illya and Zelretch were summoning him just to see how many strange and peculiar ways they could make him suffer.
  • Also, an army of Lancers makes for a great supply of expendable labor.
• In the Star Wars: Paranormalities series, Valkoran Trooper Private Will Helms is an unusual example in the context of the rest of the official Star Wars universe in that his deaths and resurrections are Played for Laughs. So far, he has died every time he's had an appearance, sometimes as a result of accidents from his peers. His known deaths include:
  • Prologue: Being pushed in a lake and drowned by a teenaged Zolph Vaelor.
  • Chapter 1: Where he was first called by name. He got trapped in the Conqueror's plasma cannon firing tunnel during the Battle of Ithor and was incinerated by the cannon.
  • Chapter 2: Run over by a prototype combat vehicle built by his own allies, after almost being shot by a plasma cannon again.
  • Chapter 4: Sent by his squad to "disarm" (read: take the bait) a trap, was eaten by a Sarlacc, and then regurgitated into the ruins' ceiling at high velocity.
  • Chapter 7: Accidentally knocked off a walkway without guardrails in Bast Castle during a conversation.
  • Chapter 8: Although not called out by name, he was blown up by a faulty landmine.
  • Chapter 10: Bitten through the pelvis by a Pyron, only to be "mercy killed" by his fellow miners.
  • Chapter 11: Ascension cable broke at lethal height.
  • Chapter 12: Almost eaten by a cybernetic Rancor, only to be accidentally stepped on by it after it was ordered not to eat him.
  • As of the prologue of Episode II, it's been confirmed that he survived the Battle of Krantisi and has been promoted to Sergeant. From that point forward, he hasn't died as much as he did in Episode I. Zolph has stopped trying to figure out how he keeps coming back despite total obliteration after trying to ask him the one time it seemed absolutely safe only for him to be killed randomly before answering. He now just assumes the Force is resurrecting Helms for its own sadistic amusement.
  • Masochus exploits this in Chapter 10 of the same Episode, killing him over and over again to create an undead army from his corpses.
  • By the Battle of Ockla Prime, Helms has learned to exploit his inability to stay dead for his own use. During said battle, he performed a Heroic Sacrifice is place of would-be-suicide-bombers who otherwise only have one life. By Episode III, he's been promoted to captain of the Black Guard, and he's likewise continued to exploit his ability, such as using it to buy time for much better fighters than himself, such as Force users.
• Whotrek: The Ultimate Adventure 1 has Wesley, who dies several times per chapter. This is eventually revealed to be foreshadowing the fact that he is actually the Master, as "Yove all seen how man tims hes did latley. And the mazter is very god at escaping sertain deth. It sold hav bin obvious."
• The Prayer Warriors has Grover Underwood, who has died at least seven times over the course of the series, from being devoured by a swarm of insects sent by God, to having his eyes torn out and his head broken, to being decapitated, to having his legs broken and being disemboweled by a spear, to getting stabbed in the throat, to drowning in a failed attempt to save him from Demonic Possession, to getting shot in the head when he's on the verge of revealing the name of the Egyptian God in Syria.
• In Pony Pals: Dirk Strider Edition, the cat Minos comes back to life every time he is killed, which happens four times through the story.
• Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami turns Near into this. He is killed repeatedly throughout the story in various horrible ways, such as being used as a virgin sacrifice, used to test the Death Note, poisoned by Light's mom for no particular reason, and being strapped to a nuke before it explodes. He always shows back up with no explanation.
• Inaccurate Legends: Archer gets killed six times, only to come back to life the next chapter. First, he gets cut in half by Saber. Second, he gets his head bitten off by the Rabbit of Caerbannog. Third, he gets run over by Coco. Fourth, after getting turned into a newt by the Witch, he gets cooked by Shirou to make medicine for Saber's injuries. Fifth, he gets arrested and executed in the gas chamber. Finally, he sacrifices himself to defeat the Taunting French Knight.
• In Ruby Pair, Keef just won't stay dead. In addition to all the times Zim tried to kill him before the start of the story, within the story itself Tenn has strapped him to a rocket and launched him into the distance, locked him in a locker with a grenade, and shoved him in front of a speeding bus, and he just keeps coming back.
• In the Better Bones AU, Fenneldust is repeatedly killed in various ways, such as being used to demonstrate a killing move, and regenerates afterwards because that is what happens with Dark Forest cats who are killed by anything other than a living cat.
