'''You'd Expect:''' Cartman to suck it up and enjoy the money he's making by keeping the park open. OR Realize that since he owns the park, he can just cut all the lines without having face any consequences.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' Cartman to suck it up and enjoy the money he's making by keeping the park open.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' The police to accept the surrender.\\
'''Instead:''' They open fire on Kenny, killing him.

** Cartman inherits $1,000,000 from his deceased grandmother's estate and uses it to buy his own amusement park which he uses to keep people out. However, he is forced to let an increasing number of guests into the park so the admissions can cover the cost of security, maintenance, food, etc.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Cartman to suck it up and enjoy the profits he's getting by keeping the park open.\\
'''Instead:''' He sells the park back to its original owner. Minutes later, his assets are seized by IRS agents who tell them that he can easily cover the discrepancy with the profits the park is making.

* "Cartmanland" has Kyle falling into depression as a result of poor health and [[{{Jerkass}} Cartman]] getting to manage an extremely profitable and successful amusement park, to the point that he's lost both his faith in God and the will to live. To cheer him up, his parents decide to tell him the story of Job[[labelnote:*]]God lets Satan take away the possessions, family and health of a man named Job to prove that the man isn't pious just because it benefits him.[[/labelnote]], on the basis that it relates pretty well to his current situation.\\

'''Resulting In''': Yates shooting the serial killer '''''just''''' before the murderer can kill Cartman. Yates [[PoliceAreUseless doesn't]] [[DisasterDominoes get]] better.\\

'''You'd Expect''': Either officer to work out that the '''''backs''''' of the hands are facing right, making them the left hands. Or work out that even having any severed body part on the wall is illegal.\\

'''Instead''': They do this.\\
->'''Yates''': Good evening, sir. We're Park County detectives. We were just wondering if we could take a quick look around your house, Misterrr...\\
->'''Serial Killer''' (in just [[MakesJustasMuchSenseinContext a pair of tiger-print underpants]]): God.\\
->'''Yates''': Well, Mr. God, it won't take but a second; it might help us with an investigation.\\
'''It gets Worse:''' The officers look around and see pictures of women with their pictures cut out.\\

Serial Killer (in just [[MakesJustasMuchSenseinContext a pair of tiger-print underpants]])): God.\\

'''You'd Expect'': The police to go about this professionally.\\

'''Instead:''' They call it 'hocus-pocus' and choose to instead use Cartman's [[ItMakesSenseinContext psychic]] [[HypocriticalHumor abilities.]]\\
'''Later On:''' The serial killer in question, angry that Cartman keeps 'solving' the case, comes to Cartman's house and abducts him. Meanwhile, Kyle has [[ItMakesSenseinContext jumped off the roof to make the police think he's psychic as well.]] The police go to the house with the killer, where Kyle 'has seen' him.\\
'''You'd Expect:'' The police to go about this professionally.\\
'''Instead:''' They do this.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' Yates to at least consider that something's wrong.\\
'''Instead:''' He says his son likes doing that as well.\\
'''Then:''' The other officer finds a room with severed hands on the wall. The killer cuts off the left hands.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Yates to arrest the killer, since having severed hands on the wall is VERY suspicious.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' Either officer to work out that the '''''backs''''' of the hands are facing right, making them the left hands. Or work out that even having any severed body part on the wall is illegal.\\
'''Instead:''' '''''They apologize for wasting the murderer's time!'''''\\
'''Then:''' Yates' colleague remarks about the 'coincidence' of the suspect having hands on his wall. Yates keeps turning his hand round and round.\\

'''Resulting In:''' Yates shooting the serial killer '''''just''''' before the murderer can kill Cartman. Yates [[PoliceAreUseless doesn't]] [[DisasterDominos get]] better.\\

* In "Cartman's Incredible Gift" Kyle does some research on a [[SerialKiller strange man]] who turns up at the crime scenes. He reports this evidence to the police.
'''You'd Expect''': The police to look into this. After all, Kyle did collect DNA.
'''Instead:''' They call it 'hocus-pocus' and choose to instead use Cartman's [[ItMakesSenseinContext psychic]] [[HypocriticalHumor abilities.]]
'''Later On:''' The serial killer in question, angry that Cartman keeps 'solving' the case, comes to Cartman's house and abducts him. Meanwhile, Kyle has [[ItMakesSenseinContext jumped off the roof to make the police think he's psychic as well.]] The police go to the house with the killer, where Kyle 'has seen' him.

'''Instead:''' They do this.
Yates: Good evening, sir. We're Park County detectives. We were just wondering if we could take a quick look around your house, Misterrr...
Serial Killer (in just [[MakesJustasMuchSenseinContext a pair of tiger-print underpants]])): God.
Yates: Well, Mr. God, it won't take but a second; it might help us with an investigation.
'''It gets Worse:''' The officers look around and see pictures of women with their pictures cut out.
'''You'd Expect:''' Yates to at least consider that something's wrong.
'''Instead:''' He says his son likes doing that as well.
'''Then:''' The other officer finds a room with severed hands on the wall. The killer cuts off the left hands.
'''You'd Expect:''' Yates to arrest the killer, since having severed hands on the wall is VERY suspicious.
'''Instead''' They say that the guy ''can't'' be the killer, since the hands are facing right, not left.
'''You'd Expect:''' Either officer to work out that the '''''backs''''' of the hands are facing right, making them the left hands. Or work out that even having any severed body part on the wall is illegal.
'''Instead:''' '''''They apologize for wasting the murderer's time!'''''
'''Then:''' Yates' colleague remarks about the 'coincidence' of the suspect having hands on his wall. Yates keeps turning his hand round and round.
'''Followed By''': Yates doing all sorts of tests to determine whether it was the right or left hand. Including taking time off playing volleyball and asking his colleague [[IHaveNoIdeaWhatImDoing what he was doing]].
'''Resulting In:''' Yates shooting the serial killer '''''just''''' before the murderer can kill Cartman.

'''Instead:''' They call it 'hocus-pocus' and choose to instead use Cartman's [[ItMakesSenseinContext psychic]] [[Hypocrite abilities.]]

'''You'd Expect:''' Being smart enough to start a time travel company he wouldn't risk changing his great future and know his past self wouldn't even go back to tell him anything.
'''Instead:''' He does exactly what was said above and given the events of the episode Cartman doesn't listen to him and refuses to do all the things he considered doing and Cartman's future self turns into an ugly overweight mechanic ruining everything he's worked for

* In 'Casa Bonita', Cartman is angry that Kyle has chosen to invite Butters to his birthday party in Casa Bonita, rather than him.
'''You'd Expect:''' Cartman to get Butters injured at school, like a football injury or trick him into breaking his arm. Or even get Butters grounded. It's not as if [[AbusiveParents that would be too hard]].

'''You'd Expect:''' For Randy to give up and realize that losing money isn't worth destroying his reputation on national TV.\\

* Then there are episodes where Kenny's death could have been prevented. One example is in "Merry Christmas Charlie Manson!" where Manson is on the run and hides from the police in Cartman's grandmother's house. He volunteers to give himself up by having Kenny march out of the house with a white flag.\\

-->'''Mr. Garrison''' ''Uh-oh, retard alert! Retard alert, class!''

* Some of [[RunningGags Kenny's deaths]] qualify. In "Summer Sucks", the town uses a giant black snake for its Fourth of July celebration due to a fireworks ban. The snake goes out of control due to its massive size and heads straight for the third graders who are playing a concert on bleachers.\\

'''Instead:''' He stays on top of the bleachers while the rest of the class jumps off. The snake plows right into him, [[TheyKilledKennyAgain killing him]].

* In "Major Boobage", Kenny has been "cheesing" (taking cat urine as part of a drug craze) and his friends came to comfort him. Kyle [[spoiler: foolishly takes one of the cats home]] and his mother Sheila finds it in his dresser drawer while putting away laundry, leading to his parents having a talk about this.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Kyle's parents let him explain the whole situation and mention Kenny and blah blah blah.\\
'''Instead:''' [[spoiler: Sheila, the mom, accuses him of lying about the cat, and Gerald, the dad, grounds him.]]

* In the episode "Red Man's Greed", the town is bought out by a Native American casino. They boys come up with the idea for the adults to pool their money together and win a round of roulette to buy the town back. They miraculously win the money, and then some.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Them to leave with their money, buy the town back, and split up the extra.\\
'''Instead:''' [[WhatTheHellTownspeople They bet it all, and wind up right back where they started.]] Stan even lampshades this on the ride home, and Randy tries to defend their decision.

* In "Pinkeye", there's a ZombieApocalypse in South Park and Chef rushes to the medical clinic to warn the doctor. However, the doctor is not convinced, misdiagnosing all the zombies as having pinkeye. A group of zombies breaks into the clinic and Chef escapes by jumping out a window.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' The doctor to trust Chef's instincts and follow him out of there.\\
'''Instead:''' He stays put, believing the zombies also have pinkeye, and gets attacked.
* "Volcano": Randy Marsh discovers that Mt. Evanston is about to erupt and warns the mayor that South Park is in jeopardy. To make matters worse, Jimbo, Ned and the boys are stranded in the woods near the mountain.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' The mayor to evacuate the town at once and call the rescue squad to search the woods.\\
'''Instead:''' She calls some tabloids to cover the story and has the townspeople ''themselves'' search for Jimbo, Ned and the boys.
