[edit] A hint?

Stan replies "Dude, whatever. At least you finally get to do something". This of course hints at Kenny's lack of involvement in many recent episodes.

This sounds slightly subjective, he might well be referring to Kenny's usual "stand and do nothing" attitude. I think this line is not necessary. Bittersky 01:05, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

That and the "of course" line is slightly biased by assuming the reader has been watching recent episodes of South Park. The line could mean several things and is subject to interpertation, as is such I suggest we leave it out until a reliable source proves its true meaning. 68.219.26.177 (talk) 21:46, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What?!

Quote:This is the first time since Super Best Friends that Kenny dies without his parka. Aw, come on, is this really needed?

Yes, it is.--74.193.153.222 05:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

No it isn't and a "Nu-Uh" argument certainly won't prove me wrong, this information is hardly significant. The statement is uneccesary dramatization and sounds more like both an attempt to make this episode special and useless trivia than information worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. I'm deleting it now unless someone actually wasn't too intimidated by your "argument" and did it themselves. 68.219.26.177 (talk) 21:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Goofs

While Token and his family are rich, one must keep in mind the reason for this - Token's father is a lawyer. Perhaps Token's family has escaped the policemen's ire because they are fearful of a lawsuit. Also, it's mentioned in "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000" that Token and family live far out of town - perhaps beyond the police's attention, or their jurisdiction.

[edit] Kenny's voice

"Kenny is seen in this episode without his orange parka wearing a mask similar to Blanket's. It was the only time in the whole television series when his speech is heard clearly, other than his line in the South Park movie."


His voice is pretty clear in the new s11 episode Lice Capades aswell.. needs update? :)


Well I could barely hear Kenny in Lice Capades over all the other kids. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.67.166 (talk) 00:41, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

His voice is subject to interpertation, I don't know about you but I could hear his voice pretty clearly in the episode "Fourth Grade" when he commented on his new teachers breast size. I suggest we either delete the claim or write something similar to "It is the first time in the telivision series he speaks without the parka. 68.219.26.177 (talk) 21:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kenny's Death in The Jeffersons.jpg

Image:Kenny's Death in The Jeffersons.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

The entire plot section could use a good re-writing, to make it shorter and just generally better in all aspects. Also, a firm and solid section on the similarities between Jefferson and Jackson. Lots42 (talk) 12:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Readability

The following is a run-on sentence.

When the boys go to visit their new neighbor, they meet his son Blanket, who always wears a mask and do not believe he is really called Blanket, as well as refusing to hang out with him, until he tells them they have arcades inside.

Worse, there are three clauses which go back-and-forth, referring to different nouns.
Blanket: who always wears a mask
"the boys": do not believe he is really called Blanket as well as refusing to hang out with him
Blanket: until he tells them they have arcades inside.

I'd like to make this easier to read—-and grammatical—-but that would require more than a simple change. Preferably the entire sentence should be recast. Or split into multiple sentences, one with Blanket as the subject, the other with "the boys" (Stan, Kyle et al).drone5 (talk) 08:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

If you ask me this entire article needs to be rewritten for both grammatical and format reasons, plus the plot section needs to be summarized and somehow shortened in length. 68.219.26.177 (talk) 00:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kenny's Death

Kenny's death is noted in the other episodes where he croaks. It's very noteworthy, it's practically what made South Park. Why remove it? Lots42 (talk) 23:40, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Original Research

The only refrences in the article provide information on only Michael Jackson, not the episode. 68.219.26.177 (talk) 21:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
