The main characters are: Eric Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny. In every episode (except one), Kenny dies in some horrible, unexpected way. After this Stan says: 'Oh my god, they killed Kenny.' and Kyle adds: 'You bastards!'
A full-length animated feature film [[South Park:Bigger, Longer, And Uncut]] was also made, which managed to satirise itself and the reaction from moral conservatives it engendered. It also presented a twisted but seemingly sincere tribute to the film musical with a number of clever songs - one of which, "Blame Canada", was nominated for an Oscar (chosen from the film because it was one of the few songs that had a title without profane language).
