Kenny McCormick is one of the four main boys in South Park, the long-running animated series created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone that first aired in 1997. His orange parka covers most of his face, so his dialogue has almost always sounded muffled, a running gag that fans learned to recognise even when they could not make out the words. Clips of his mumbling circulate in meme edits, reaction videos and soundboards because the sound instantly identifies the show and its deadpan humour without needing a full scene or explanation.
