Kenny vs. Spenny: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

~~[[Half Hour Comedy]] [[Reality TV]]~~

~~[[Half-Hour Comedy]] [[Reality TV]]~~

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?

Line 44:

* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]]: Kenny, according to Spenny. He doesn't get drunk that often, and can't hold his beer. Which causes him to immediately begin cheating in ''Who can drink the most beer''.

** Spenny himself is shown to turn pretty violent and ugly when drunk.

* [[Card Carrying Villain]]: Kenny, in his own words, is "A psychopath narcissistic genius!"

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: Kenny, in his own words, is "A psychopath narcissistic genius!"

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Kenny takes this trope as far as the confines of the medium allow.

* [[The Comically Serious]]: Spenny can't tell a joke, hates Kenny's jokes, and had a huge advantage in ''First to laugh loses'', as Kenny has ''no idea'' how to make Spenny laugh, only how to annoy him.

Line 74:

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

* [[Groin Attack]]: Taken about as far as possible in "Who can Win a Cockfight", but both men's genitals take a fair bit of abuse in general.

* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today]]: In "Who do gay guys like more?", Spenny would repeatedly remind the gay man he was on a "date" with that he was straight. Despite this for some reason Spenny still thought it would be a good idea to try and kiss the poor guy, who was understandably put off.

* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]: In "Who do gay guys like more?", Spenny would repeatedly remind the gay man he was on a "date" with that he was straight. Despite this for some reason Spenny still thought it would be a good idea to try and kiss the poor guy, who was understandably put 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.

Line 87:

*** Spenny has alleged in commentary they actually get along well when not trying to beat the other.

*** In one episode Spenny went through some trauma and Kenny comforted him. Spenny took a moment to tell the viewers that when it comes down to it Kenny is a good friend. Of course, the effect was ruined when Kenny won the competition using the aforementioned HIV prank.

** Spenny himself can be somewhat obnoxious. In the episode where he goes on a date with a gay guy, he tries ''way'' too hard to act like the "mature" one, while at the same time every five seconds reminding him [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today|that he is not gay]]. At least Kenny acts offensive on ''purpose''.

** Spenny's personal trainer in their pilot episode. He believes Kenny is cheating and demands that he forfeit and make Spenny win. Kenny tells him that he isn't doing anything of the sort, and the trainer starts physically threatening him, and then putting him in a headlock until Kenny passes out.

** 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.

Line 103:

* [[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.

* [[My God What Have I Done]]: When Kenny locked Spenny in a room for a day to keep from having to fight him in boxing, [[Even Evil Has Standards|even]] ''[[Even Evil Has Standards|he]]'' [[Even Evil Has Standards|thought he went too far.]] He was so disgusted with what he did that he rushed home early, let Spenny out, and then let Spenny win the fight.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: When Kenny locked Spenny in a room for a day to keep from having to fight him in boxing, [[Even Evil Has Standards|even]] ''[[Even Evil Has Standards|he]]'' [[Even Evil Has Standards|thought he went too far.]] He was so disgusted with what he did that he rushed home early, let Spenny out, and then let Spenny win the fight.

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

* [[Never Work With Children or Animals]]: "Who Can Be Tied to a Goat the Longest", "Who Can Win a Rat Race", "Who Can Sit on a Cow the Longest", "Who Do Kids Like More", Spenny's gambit with his cousins in "Who Can Stay Awake the Longest".

Line 138:

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

* [[Versus Title]]

* [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~ Not Awesome]]: Midway through "Who can go the longest with their head in a chicken coop" Kenny and Spenny change the challenge to "Who can win a mature and serious debate against each other while wearing a chicken coop on their head."

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Midway through "Who can go the longest with their head in a chicken coop" Kenny and Spenny change the challenge to "Who can win a mature and serious debate against each other while wearing a chicken coop on their head."

* [[Write Who You Know]]: In "Who can make a better porno?" Spenny writes out a scenario that's been his personal fantasy since he was an adolescent.

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Spenny seems to be under the impression that the show's audience are kids looking for life lessons on honesty and fairness.
