South Park is an adult animated sitcom that is well-known for its profanity and dark humor. The show follows the exploits of four boys from Colorado.

Its 2-D caricature-like animated characters have conquered the hearts of youngsters and adults alike with their bold and daring commentaries. Dress up as your favorite South Park characters and be the notorious third graders of the party.
Stan Marsh is one of the main characters of the show. He is voiced by Trey Parker and is based loosely on his own personality. Stan is a kind-hearted kid with high intelligence who is also trustworthy and patient. Since he is morally upright, he expresses his lack of respect for adults of South Park as they rarely are rational and are swayed away by popular opinion. Although Stan has common childlike tendencies, his speeches are intended to reflect different stances on various issues of the world. Now, you too can dress up as Stan and let the world know what you think, uncensored.
Kenny McCormick is yet another main character from South Park. He speaks in a muffled voice that is hard to discern, which is mainly due to the parka hood that covers his mouth. Kenny lives in a poor family and has extraordinary experiences that are not common to the typical life of a small-town third grader. He is voiced by Matt Stone, the co-creator of the show. Kenny also has a superhero alter ego called Mysterion. Kenny has also suffered various excruciating deaths before coming back alive in the next episode. “They killed Kenny” has become the show’s catchphrase since the creators kill Kenny often. Dress up as Kenny and be the mysterious, muffled-voiced, poor boy with a superhero alter ego.
You can choose to dress up as Kenny McCormick, the third-grader who speaks in a muffled voice, or Stan Marsh, the deeply moral character. Or if you prefer, there is an option to cosplay Kyle Broflovsky as well. All the characters make the most of wintry Colorado and don bright-colored winter clothes. You can too take a leaf out of their book and make the most of the winter times, ridiculing anyone who happens to get in your face.
