Line 70:
** [[They Killed Kenny Again]]
* [[Write What You Know]]: Yes, there ''is'' an actual town called South Park in Colorado, where Trey and Matt grew up, and it was known as a place where strange occurrences, such as alien abductions, were rumored to happen.
* [[Write Who You Know]]: Kenny is based on a childhood friend of Parker who was also poor and used a parka which muffled his speech. He would often be absent from school, and the two would joke that it was because he was dead, which is where the "They Killed Kenny" joke came from.
** Out of all the characters loosely based on real people, Randy is the least loose, as both are geologists, that is how Trey draws his father, that is Trey doing an impression of his father's voice (especially in the earlier seasons), and Randy Parker's stepfather's surname was Marsh, meaning he grew up known as Randy Marsh.
** [[Tuckerization]]: Since Stan=Trey and Kyle=Matt, the parents of the duo (Randy/Sharon and Sheila/Gerald) are named after the creator's as well.
* [[Writing by the Seat of Your Pants]]: Shows are written the week before they air, and the episodes are often finished frightening close to their airtime. It's the television writing equivalent of writing and turning in a college term paper. The only time this backfired was with "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers", when a power outage at South Park Studios pre-empted the episode and led to a [[Schedule Slip]] for the first time in the show's 17 years on the air.
