Can I say this here?
Seasons 1 and 2, he said "I like women with big vaginas. I'm also a fan of big, fat titties."
Seasons 3 - 5, he says, "I've got a 10-inch penis. Use your mouth if you want to clean it."
- Trey Parker, Yahoo! online chat, June 28, 1999.
Season 6 it's all "Yimmy Timmy Timmy Timmy..."
Season 7 on, he says: "One day I'll be old enough to stick my dick in Britney's butt." Here's the FAQ on that...
Q: On another site they've posted what Kenny supposedly says in the beginning of season 7 episodes... "One day I'll be old enough to stick my dick in Britney's butt." Is that it? Thanks.A: That is the not so completely offical answer from Matt Stone! When I told Matt that it was about a year since the first episode of the 7th season, and that he and Trey had promised to tell the fans what he said, he replied that he couldn't remember. Thankfully I had asked another Staff Member (Mr. Keef Bartkus) he had said that "what you said was the new phrase." When I asked Matt about it he was 95% sure that it was correct. He also said he'd double check on it, but that probably will take some time, so for now, we're going to say that "Someday I'll be old enough, to stick my dick in Britney's Butt" is the correct phrase that Kenny mumbles in the 7th season.
