Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kenny Starfighter is a low-budget Swedish children's comedy miniseries from 1997.The series begins by establishing that there has been a galactic war called "The Zongo War", in which a rebel army gathered its forces to defeat Emperor Zing. However, Zing's potent collection of dangerous chemical formulas went missing in the process, with several galactic heroes attemtping to find them without success. Kenny Starfighter is the most recent of these galactic heroes, who visits Earth in order to find these formulas and thwart Dr. Deo's evil plan to use these formulas to turn every planet in the galaxy into giant deodorant-rollers. However, Kenny can't do this on his own, and usually needs help from a quartet of roughly 15-year old children named Marcus, Tyrone, "Burken"note A nickname meaning "the can" and Sofia.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In 2009, a prequel movie named Kenny Begins was released. Since 2017, the series has been part of SVT's open archive, meaning that the series always can be watched in its entirety (provided that you live in Sweden) on SVT's website. | |

Aluminum Christmas Trees: In this series, chocolate soda by the brand Zingo can be used as fuel. While the brand was much better known in Sweden for its orange soda when the series was released, they had previously tried to sell chocolate soda between 1973 and 1977. | |

Glad I Thought of It: One of the Running Gags in the series is Kenny's sidekicks suggesting "How about we do X?", and Kenny responding with "No, let's do X". It's not clear if he consciously is trying to steal their ideas, or if he didn't listen to a word they said to begin with. | |
