Randy Marsh

Randy Marsh is the son of Marvin and Grandma Marsh, the husband of Sharon, and the father of Stan and Shelley. He makes his debut in the season one episode "Volcano", and is voiced by Trey Parker.

Despite being a geologist with a doctorate, he is generally portrayed as an absent-minded idiot, driving many episode plots in the later seasons, though this was later revealed to be due to him being unhappy over his marriage. However, in earlier seasons he was calmer and more level-headed, often providing advice to the boys. In "You're Getting Old", he divorced his wife and moved away. However, in "Ass Burgers" he reconciled with Sharon and remarried, therefore getting their old house back. Since season 22, Randy has been running the Tegridy Farms hemp farming business.

Randy is named after and based upon Trey Parker's father, Randy Parker, who is also a geologist.

In the season 22 episode "Tegridy Farms", he moves his family to Tegridy Farms and starts a new weed business, presumably quitting his geologist job.

Why He's Got In-Tegridy

 * 1) He’s a very caring father to Stan and Shelley and a well-meaning husband to Sharon as he has his flaws and wrongdoings, he‘s shown to learn from his mistakes and shows remorse.
 * 2) His addictions to drugs and tobacco are always funny, especially in season 23 in Tegridy Farms.
 * 3) He has many, MANY funny moments, especially this scene.
 * Trey Parker does a fantastic job at providing his voice as his "dumb-founded" tone of voice manages to make Randy very enjoyable as a character.
 * 1) He’s a lot more understanding than he appears to be and although he is stupid for the most part, he is a geologist and has some intelligence.
 * 2) He spawned many hilarious memes, a good example is the “I thought this was America”, "Change", and "What seems to be the officer, problem".
 * 3) Even when Randy is doing something that’s idiotic or ridiculous, it’ll still come off as hilarious, much like Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, Cleveland Brown (in his spin-off series), and Stan Smith.
 * 4) His moments with Towelie are PRICELESS!!!!

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can be an absolute retard at times and doesn't always think about the decisions he makes and that even results in him being annoying, such as in "Pandemic/Pandemic 2: The Startling" where he uses a camera.
 * 2) Season 23 overused him several times and that was one of the contributing factors to the mediocrity of season 23. He was flanderized in season 23 as his over-usage would give less episodes relating to the main boys and although he was likable in "Band in China".
 * 3) He has his unlikable moments such as in "Pandemic/Pandemic 2: The Startling", "Dead Kids" and "Pinewood Derby".
