Kenny vs. Spenny: Difference between revisions

Remember your buddy in college, the one you used to make all the really ''stupid'' bets with, usually after a couple of rounds at the bar? Do you ever think back and wonder just how stupid you must have been to try some of those stunts? Aren't you kind of glad that the only people who know about them now are people you don't see anymore?

 

The real draw is not so much who might win or lose, but the dynamic between the two men's personalities. Spenny is rather keen on establishing rules and sticking to the letter and spirit of the competition. Kenny, on the other hand, uses unorthodox approaches frequently and will cheat if he feels he can manage it - the film crew does not "snitch" and Spenny does not see the footage before the end of the competition.

 

 

As of December 2010, Kenny and Spencer both announced that the show is canceled, and it ended with a big Christmas special.

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: In "Who Can Keep Their Head In A Chicken Coop The Longest", Spenny names his chicken Ruthie. Kenny names his Xyklon Craw X, his baby chick Killbot, and his falcon Tron.

** In ''Who can win a rat race'', Spenny's rat is Sally. Kenny's is Zontar lord of the underworld.

* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: Beneath Kenny's farting and dick joke exterior is a devious, snarky evil genius, Also doomed Butt Monkey Spenny out 'kenny's' Kenny by finding a loophole in Kenny's tactic in episode 'who can earn the most money'

* [[Body Horror]]: Kenny's compount leg fracture during the ice skating competition. It causes Spenny to nearly vomit, and makes audience members cringe to see. ... Until he reveals it's fake of course.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: More often than not, Spenny falls into this role. His own crew even occasionally sides against him.

** Even the judge in "Who Is The Best Soldier" picked on Spenny, often ignoring Kenny's antics and reprimanding Spenny. He even pours toilet water on his face to wake him up.

** "Ryan..."

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Kenny. His cheating schemes often require a high level of planning.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Kenny.

* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]

* [[Foe Yay]], to some extent. Kenny himself regularly comments on how much Spenny wants to do obscene things with him. Spenny, of course, denies it. Whether he's being honest or not is up to you.

** Oh come on, we are just waiting for the sex/bdsm tape of the two of them to come out.....

* [[Gonk]]: Kenny's friend Bobby, who is fat, hairy, ugly, has missing front teeth, and several disgusting unknown growths on the left side of his torso. His body is used a few times for humiliations.

* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Kenny's mom. "Spencer, I told you just Eff off!"

* [[Ho Yay]]: Along with the above foeyay, there was the episode where they were competing over who could go the longest without getting an erection. For the final test they hired two strippers to give them lapdances. Kenny hired a male one for Spenny. One striptease and dance from a guy later, and Spenny lost the competition.

** In the episode Who Do Gay Guys Like More, Kenny looks at the camera and says that he and Spenny "Have been lovers for years." before pulling down his pants and trying to get Spenny to have sex with him right there in the kitchen. ... it... was an interesting episode.

* [[Inspirationally Disabled]]: Kenny hires a mentally handicapped man to pretend to be his little brother so that he can impress a group of old ladies with how sweet and loving he is.

* [[Intoxication Ensues]]: ''Who Can Drink the Most Beer'', ''Who Can Smoke The Most Pot'', also in ''Who Can Wear A Dead Octopus On Their Head The Longest'' Kenny gives Spenny acid. In ''Who is coolest'' Kenny pretends to become addicted to extreme hard drugs.

** In who can be the better news reporter, Spenny does the exact thing a reporter is ''not'' supposed to do, which is chase after ambulances and police cars to try and snoop on them for a story, which ends up causing the men to get ''really'' pissed at Spenny.

** In ''Who is Funnier'', Spenny confesses to a whole audience at a stand up club that he has HIV, or atleast he thought he did at the time. The comedian that went on stage immediately after Spenny walked out as an emotional wreck then proceeded to make jokes about Spenny having aids.

* [[Jewish and Nerdy]]: Spennny

* [[Jews Love to Argue]]: Both Kenny and Spenny are of Jewish heritage, (Though Kenny admits he's more of an atheist. And Spenny is not at all religious.) and the premise of the show is that they fight, so I suppose it's an example of this trope.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Kenny.

* [[Musical Episode]]: In "whoever stops singing loses", it's pretty much a ''terrible'' version of this trope. Spenny ends up getting stuck on "row row row your boat" all day, and Kenny's crew contemplates quitting over how stupid this whole scene is.

* [[Nerds Are Sexy]]: The reasoning behind Spenny's nerd costume for the stripper episode.

* [[Nice Jewish Boy]]: Kenny tries to play this up in "Who do the elderly like more"

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Kenny has a collection of rare collectible vintage records. Included in this collection are Nazi war songs, and recordings of speeches by Hitler and Jim Jones.

* [[Please Don't Leave Me]]: In "Who Can Lift More Weight With Their Genitals", Kenny, in his own way, begs for Spenny not to move out and quit the show. Of course the emotion is sort of lost, as Kenny is only wearing a t shirt.

* [[Popularity Power]]: The reason Kenny seems to win more competitions that are decided by a third party. He may be crass and offensive, but he also knows how to be fun and is fairly charismatic. Spenny tends to just make people feel uncomfortable.

* [[Red Right Hand]]: Kenny is missing the tip of one of his fingers. And is pure evil.

* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]].

* [[Robosexual]]: In ''First person to talk loses'', it seems Spenny's laptop's text-to-speech program has fallen passionately in love with Kenny.

* [[Running Gag]]: Almost any time Kenny is ever talking to ladies on the street, he will ask them for a simple peck on the cheek, and then at the last second he turns his head so that they accidentally kiss him on the lips. It works every time.

** Pretty much every other episode will bring up Spenny's extreme self-consciousness over the size of his penis.

* [[Serious Business]]: The season three finale, ''Arm Wrestling Competition''. Spenny hires a crack team of security guards to protect him from Kenny to prevent any possible sabotage.

* [[Sore Loser]]: Kenny generally takes his losses much worse than Spenny does. For example, in "Who Can Produce More Semen" Kenny storms away when its revealed Spenny won. Spenny, especially in later seasons, generally takes his losses and humiliations with a little more grace. In "Who Is the Better Soldier" Spenny was puked on by the entire crew and he took it while ''laughing''.

* [[Stupidity Is the Only Option]]: Kenny didn't seem to like the idea of making a pornography film in "Who can make a better porno". so instead, he decided to make a bunch of short sketch clips involving sex related jokes, featuring only himself. The end result was pretty much the exact same stuff he made for "Who can make the better commercial".

* [[Technical Pacifist]]: Kenny isn't actually a violent person. He will lie, manipulate, torture, and [[Mind Rape]] Spenny, but outside of light rough housing, Kenny does ''not'' like to get into serious fights. It's why they had to forfeit the wilderness episode, and why he took such extreme measures to get out of the boxing episode.

** Both Kenny ''and'' Spenny's film crew got to have the time of their life torturing the duo during "Who can 69 eachother the longest", with the two tied down together and almost completely immobile, the entire crew joined in spraying them with any liquids available, throwing random objects at them, and breaking plates over them. For once ''they'' were the ones not screaming for mercy.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Kenny and his coffee. Which has been exploited for a humiliation.

** As well as ''two'' different versions in Netherlands. One has two guys, the other has two girls.

* [[Unsportsmanlike Gloating]]: Kenny, natch.
