* DramaticIrony: Kenny also dies in nearly every episode prior to this, yet it is suddenly being treated dead (no pun intended) serious here. Also, unlike his other deaths, where he usually comes back in time for the following episode, this death lasts for the next 17 episodes.

* InternalDeconstruction: This episode serves as such in regards to Kenny's deaths. Normally, Kenny gets killed in a very over-the-top fashion, with his friends reacting with mild shock at best and utter apathy at worst, and he returns the next day no worse for the wear. This time, however, Kenny dies from a realistic circumstance, his friends (including [[TokenEvilTeammate Cartman]]) are completely devastated by it, and his death ''sticks'' up until the season 6 finale.
