      they tried to replace him with butters.

      in The majority of South park episodes, he doesn’t die.

      wish they kept that running joke

        Yea, not anymore considering they dropped the gag at the end of S5 and they are now beginning their 27th.

        Ugh, I hated the shoehorning of Butters into the group dynamics during Kenny’s absence. Rubbed a lot of fans wrong to the point the backlash forced writers to change the ending of that season and bring Kenny back.

        I too wish they would have kept the joke going. Or at least occasionally make reference to it now and then.
