the show isn't "scripted", but sometimes they both agree to do acting in the name of entertainment. they are bad actors, and you can really detect it. and kenny is really a big loser and a tiny **** only thing that keeps him looking tougher and better is him fearmongering spenny.. if you haven't noticed only people rooting for kenny are nihilistic emos. kenny makes the show by bullying spenny, spenny makes the show by being the stupid person he is. no sympathy for either of them, they both need to learn about the facts of life. really good entertainment though!
