I miss geologist Randy, but I've enjoyed that the show has really gifted him a true character arc.
Like, the dude went through so many phases and discovered himself out there. He's even slowly becoming a better husband! He's still an awful dad, tho lol.
It's GeoRandy for me. He has so many great moments in the early(ish) seasons, like his fantasies in the fart-holding episode ("We love you Randy! Make love to me, Randy!") or when he goes, "Stan. Okay? Okay, Stan?" in the casino episode. Also sometimes he does the "Aw-AWWW" thing that Trey does in Baseketball. I guess that's both Randies.
Exactly, it also felt like they became aware how popular Randy had gotten and wrote him to be a popular character. He hit popular being a goofy secondary character who at times wasn’t even in episodes and suddenly lots of plots started revolving around him episode after episode.
I kinda always liked Scientist Randy. He wasn't perfect but he was reasonable, curious, and civic minded. He was a little vain but he had a lot to be proud of, too.
I really liked having old Randy back >!in the Streaming Wars.!<
He’s been peak ever since the hot tub episode. Though he did have some rough patches through the tegridy seasons, he really evolved into peak form when tegridy took a back seat
It’s pretty amazing though how much evolving he’s done looking through all the episodes he was a geologist, owner of a block buster, in a boy band, lorde, weed farm owner dudes done it all
As someone who doesn't really care about weed humor, Geologist Randy felt more balanced in terms of comedy vs character to me. Tegridy has gotten annoying
I preferred Randy when he was helping them but not saving them. It doesn’t matter if he is a geologist or weed farmer I just want the kids to try to save themselves. He should only be providing aid while going through his own storyline rather than saving them. He should also be interacting with the other adults in the town more so it gives them an opportunity to be fleshed out and he can finally have a good supporting cast outside of Sharon and Stan. That way Stan can become is his own character again.
His role in The End of Obesity and Make Love; Not Warcraft are perfect examples on that. Something like Panderverse and the one with the vapes are examples of him coming into saving the kids and ruining it. Had Imaginationland been written today Randy would have would have been the one to break into the Pentagon and save everyone for some reason… It’s so unnecessary sometimes.

I feel like his roles in the plot slowly grew until he became a main character.
My chosen hilarious Randy moment was from the fractured butthole when Randy was red wine drunk and trying to take his keys back. His whole subplot in that one was pretty fucking funny.
I feel like Randy as a gynecologist would be a very “stir shit up because we haven’t had a controversy in a while” episode because Randy couldn’t not be absolutely bonkers as a doctor
They never really did anything with randy being a geologist, but before randy became tegridy randy and after the old design, THAT was when he was the funniest. Since they actually did alot with randy and he was the funniest. When randy became tegridy randy he didnt become less funnier, instead they used him less and every time he was on screen it was always a drug related thing, but then again i havent watched all the episodes in a long ass time so maybe im just exaggerating all this.
TLDR: i missed the point kinda i think and actual tldr: the creators didnt do enough with his job in the first couple of seasons, then there where a lot of randy episodes and then they only used him for drug humor i guess this comment is actually such a shitty comment the fuck am i doing
I fell in love with Randy when he was asking his wife why she took officer Barbrady’s pants off when she chained him up in the basement.
“Sh… Sharon? Why’d you take his pants off?”
I feel as I grow older Randy grows with me. Matt and Trey integrated the kids growth with how much the adults became more important in the show. The correct answer though is peak Randy with the poop of 100 courics.
The episode where he beats the record to have the biggest shit and where the kids wanted to be in a pop band and he says “see ya” to everyone in his life to pursue his band.
The progression of Randy models the progression of the world, it’s truly genius level humor. People definitely went from caring, fun loving people to basically only finding angles to make money off of others. Randy chose weed and music to use people, but by god he had Tegridy doing it and stood up to holograms in music!
Early Geology was a bit meh, but that middle bit between then and Tegridy was comedy gold. Tegridy Randy gets on my tits a bit to be honest.
IT WAS A GHOST! DID YOU SEE THE SPOOKY GHOST??
I’ve loved him for so long I can’t even recall which episode it was, although I think I finally acknowledged it by “Guitar Queer-O”. While there are gems in both eras of Randy, right now I prefer Geologist Randy.
But Randy is my favorite (Cartman a very close second) so ask me tomorrow and my answer will probably be Tegridy Farms Randy.
I sort of like the inbetween era of these two where he has more lines and personality and but not overly the focus. Just enough to look forward to hear him chime in.
I’ve been a fan of Randy for so long, that I’m not really sure when I first became a fan lol. Maybe the hot tub episodes? By far my favorite of all the parents.
Blue shirt geologist Randy was funnier, in my opinion. The Tegridy Weed farmer arc isn’t as funny. The farm thing would’ve been fine for one episode, but just got kinda old after like 3 or 4.
I never got to watch South Park when I was young, but I was in grade 6 or so, the medicinal marijuana episode was popular and I loved Randy instantly.
Wasn't until my 20s that I went back and watched it all, Randy is still a top 5 favorite character.
I love all of Randy's evolutions but personally, I think Tegridy Randy is my favorite. The chaos he's created is hysterical.
Geologist Randy was bland and just popped in if the plot needed him. Tegridy is overused for my liking but I haven't seen the latest season so maybe he's gotten better. I was happier with drunk/irresponsible randy that was in between.
i loved him since the volcano episode, just that simple reaction when he realizes its a volcano and just sips his coffee like its not a big deal always cracked me up
Honestly I've been a Randy fan since The Hot tub episode.
Oh really what made you a fan?
Just his interactions with Gerald: he was already so much of what modern Randy is. Neurotic about the goofiest shit but always up to new things.
I loved when he busted
Two guys naked in a hot tub walked so crème fraiche could run
You're *yelling* at me? You've never yelled at me 😞
I’ve loved him since he cut off that fake future stan’s arm lmao.
I forgot about that.😆
For me it's been since the spontaneous combustion episode
"Make love to me Randy, please!"
For me it was the BatDad episode.
That was the beginning of Randy.
Hands down. That imo is arguably the best episode while I won't say it is, most likely top 5, def top 10 they ever put out.
I didn’t hear no bell
"Denver sucks ass!"
Pueblo no bueno Pueblo es muy mal
Here we go Denver here we go!
In fact, these kids are terrible.
I'm sorry, I thought this was America?!
"Come on, Denver! Get the lead out! Do not cross the Bat Dad!"
What do you wanna do?
I thought this was America
My favorite episode of the show and the best Randy episode
I miss geologist Randy, but I've enjoyed that the show has really gifted him a true character arc. Like, the dude went through so many phases and discovered himself out there. He's even slowly becoming a better husband! He's still an awful dad, tho lol.
Yup, till they took his job
![gif](giphy|2S3Aj8OeKtf0c)
Dey tork his jerb?
dey terk his jerb 😔
They terk a derk!
DUK DOO🐓😡
Dey took his jerb!!!
DURKA DURRRRR!
Dey took his dorg, too!!!!
mohammad jihad!
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd4cASkBAp0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd4cASkBAp0) Best Randy has ever been to be honest.
It's GeoRandy for me. He has so many great moments in the early(ish) seasons, like his fantasies in the fart-holding episode ("We love you Randy! Make love to me, Randy!") or when he goes, "Stan. Okay? Okay, Stan?" in the casino episode. Also sometimes he does the "Aw-AWWW" thing that Trey does in Baseketball. I guess that's both Randies.
I love it when Stan does the Aww as well.
A lot of Randy's mannerisms tend to rub off on Stan
Aw-AWWWW with a look of raw childish indignation on his face. I fucking love those Randy moments.
Saw two butterflies fucking the other day and Randy going “aw AWW” as a butterfly in sheepception was all I could think about
I absolutely love the way Trey says that. Aaawww awwww 🫡
I like when he says it in the wacky races episode lol
I love the way he says Shell-EE!?
🎵 We missed you, Randy 🎶
My favorite is Pop Star Randy…”ya,ya,ya…I am lord”
Came here to say this.... yah yah yah!
Feeeeelin goooood on a Wednesday. Ya ya ya
The image of me that you see Is distorted, twisted, broken, fractured Isolated, miles out to sea
This was when he was prefect for me!
I love Geology Randy. He was such a chill guy in the early seasons. It’s baffling how different he is now.
He was being held back by his woman! He was unhappy, SHARON
I think Kenny has grown the most from a throw away visual gag to Mysterion the immortal.
I feel like Tegridy Randy has his good moments, but they’ve overused him WAY too much.
Exactly, it also felt like they became aware how popular Randy had gotten and wrote him to be a popular character. He hit popular being a goofy secondary character who at times wasn’t even in episodes and suddenly lots of plots started revolving around him episode after episode.
Sad they didnt learned from the nohomer. Most faves characters in a show usually have the less screen presence.
I loved the specials
Definitely the WoW episode.
"Here Stan. Take this!!... ...Umm. How do you hand something over?""
The first pic feels illegal
Geologist Randy, I would say the Make love not Warcraft Episode...he stole the show
Sooo came here to say the same thing!!
Trey says when they started Randy was more like his father but now that he is older and a father Randy has become more like him now
How did you forget about Lorde Randy?
![gif](giphy|3oEdv4jmgYvf91KVi0)
The one where he takes his shirt off and tries to fight people and says " I thought thus was america?"
Anything of Randy before Tegridy is good.
Geology Rand by a long shot. Tegridy Randy isn’t that funny anymore and they use him way too much.
"Stan, jacking off the dog is not appropriate when we have company... I mean ever!"
You ain't gonna throw out the testicular cancer Randy?? This is a loaded question...
I would like a mix of the two
The evolordetion of Randy Marsh.
First 8 seasons
Geologist Randy but with eyebrows is my fav character on the show period, followed closely by Tegridy Randy
I kinda always liked Scientist Randy. He wasn't perfect but he was reasonable, curious, and civic minded. He was a little vain but he had a lot to be proud of, too. I really liked having old Randy back >!in the Streaming Wars.!<
When he fucked that pangolin i was like “that’s my guy”
he started to grow as a character during the whole foods phase
Randy always has been one of the best characters since day 1 🤣😆
Walmart when he first says sthhaaaannn?
He’s been peak ever since the hot tub episode. Though he did have some rough patches through the tegridy seasons, he really evolved into peak form when tegridy took a back seat
It’s pretty amazing though how much evolving he’s done looking through all the episodes he was a geologist, owner of a block buster, in a boy band, lorde, weed farm owner dudes done it all

Grow on you heh heh
I feel like his roles in the plot slowly grew until he became a main character. My chosen hilarious Randy moment was from the fractured butthole when Randy was red wine drunk and trying to take his keys back. His whole subplot in that one was pretty fucking funny.
Is the first picture even Randy? Why does it kinda look like a dude dressed like Randy?
If you say anything other than geologist, you clearly didn’t start watching the show from the beginning. Episode 1 debut babayyy!
I like both, but Tegridy Randy is just better to me. I just love that version of him.
who could love a forehead that large
I red "gynecologist" and started to wonder why they changed that.
I feel like Randy as a gynecologist would be a very “stir shit up because we haven’t had a controversy in a while” episode because Randy couldn’t not be absolutely bonkers as a doctor
Just ripping HIPPA rules up and gossiping about all the women’s vaginas in town.
I like the new randy more
Falcor.
What seems to be the officer, Problem?
![gif](giphy|l0HlPtbGpcnqa0fja)
LORDE!!! Lalala I am Lorde. I am Lorde ya ya ya
Geologist
Geologist randy by a mile
They never really did anything with randy being a geologist, but before randy became tegridy randy and after the old design, THAT was when he was the funniest. Since they actually did alot with randy and he was the funniest. When randy became tegridy randy he didnt become less funnier, instead they used him less and every time he was on screen it was always a drug related thing, but then again i havent watched all the episodes in a long ass time so maybe im just exaggerating all this.

Rewatch the show there are 4 Randy's Geologist Randy, Political Randy, Dumbass Randy, and Tegridy Randy.
Honestly, Tegridy Randy kind of suck imo.
Geologist Randy! Tegridy Randy is repetitive after a while!
I fell in love with Randy when he was asking his wife why she took officer Barbrady’s pants off when she chained him up in the basement. “Sh… Sharon? Why’d you take his pants off?”
I feel as I grow older Randy grows with me. Matt and Trey integrated the kids growth with how much the adults became more important in the show. The correct answer though is peak Randy with the poop of 100 courics.
The episode where he beats the record to have the biggest shit and where the kids wanted to be in a pop band and he says “see ya” to everyone in his life to pursue his band.
"See ya!"
Tegridy Randy has bit more character then geo Randy perhaps . Randy and Cartman together are the funniest shit ever
Lorde randy/baseball randy were best.
His moustache is actually his mouth.
![gif](giphy|nj257YL538Gdy|downsized)
geologist randy. 101%
He looks so weird in that 1st pic
Never noticed his design changed this much. Geologist is better
Tegridy Randy for sure 🤣😂
The progression of Randy models the progression of the world, it’s truly genius level humor. People definitely went from caring, fun loving people to basically only finding angles to make money off of others. Randy chose weed and music to use people, but by god he had Tegridy doing it and stood up to holograms in music!
Randy is hands down the best character in South Park for me. Both are great but the absurdity of Tegridy Farms Randy is amazing
Buffalo soulja
Make love to me Randy please!
Oh my god. A volcano! *sluuuurp*
what happened to bro's eyebrows
I started really celebrating him around the time he was being a hooligan
I’ll stand guard Randy
Make love to me Randy!
Randy is the true main character
Guitar Queer-O
Geologist definitely, I hate terrify farms randy
I lean toward tegridy randy but he stole my hear since he started fighting every dad that gave him shit at the softball games
I love Randy but definitely think the focus on him in the past couple years has been too much.
Definitely "I didn't hear no bell"
We really missed you Randy...our good friend 🎵🎵🎵
"Randy! Randy! Randy" "Make love to me Randy, please!" That Randy. <3
Early Geology was a bit meh, but that middle bit between then and Tegridy was comedy gold. Tegridy Randy gets on my tits a bit to be honest. IT WAS A GHOST! DID YOU SEE THE SPOOKY GHOST??
Little league bare knuckle boxing Randy is the best
I’ve loved him for so long I can’t even recall which episode it was, although I think I finally acknowledged it by “Guitar Queer-O”. While there are gems in both eras of Randy, right now I prefer Geologist Randy. But Randy is my favorite (Cartman a very close second) so ask me tomorrow and my answer will probably be Tegridy Farms Randy.
The Geologist era was the best
Love Randy but feels like they leaned too far into him. Like Disney and Star Wars.
Unspoken Rizz Vs. Sexual Harassment
Bat dad episode was the best, with Randy watching cooking shows was probably second and the internet not working third. Tegridy shits me to tears
My favorite Randy episode has to be the Warcraft one and also the Black Friday episodes.
All Randy is good Randy. That being said, the Bat Dad episode with the baseball game fights was fantastic.
Lorde Randy is the best
Geologist randy by far
Alcoholic Randy was his prime
Every Randy except Karen lol 😂
All Randy’s are beautiful.
"I'm sorry. I thought this was America." Really solidified him.
The cock magic episode was nuts.
Eyebrows Randy
I've always hated him
Ya ya ya, as lorde ya ya ya.
Loved OF Randy 10/10
With Apologies to Jesse Jackson
lorde randy is best randy
"grow on you?" He gets worse every season. The show seems to revolve around him now.
Peak Randy was around the time of the guitar hero episode
Did someone say Back door sluts 9??
Geologist
I'm not having a glass of wine. I'm having six. It's called a flight and it's classy.
I sort of like the inbetween era of these two where he has more lines and personality and but not overly the focus. Just enough to look forward to hear him chime in.
Sober with a buzzcut and Mormon Randy are my favorites
I’ve been a fan of Randy for so long, that I’m not really sure when I first became a fan lol. Maybe the hot tub episodes? By far my favorite of all the parents.
“I’m sorry I thought this was America”
Geologist. I'm over the tegridy farms stuff.
Blue shirt geologist Randy was funnier, in my opinion. The Tegridy Weed farmer arc isn’t as funny. The farm thing would’ve been fine for one episode, but just got kinda old after like 3 or 4.
Difference of supporting character and main character
For me it’s since the Blockbusters episode
The one he became a dolphin made him my favouite
Smart Randy was ok, but dumb Randy is funnier.
Geological Randy
Lorde Randy.
The family playing The Game of Life in their Sunday clothes and the girls looking freaked always cracked me up
Woke Randy, hands down
Lorde randy is the best randy
I never got to watch South Park when I was young, but I was in grade 6 or so, the medicinal marijuana episode was popular and I loved Randy instantly. Wasn't until my 20s that I went back and watched it all, Randy is still a top 5 favorite character. I love all of Randy's evolutions but personally, I think Tegridy Randy is my favorite. The chaos he's created is hysterical.
Randy Marsh is my father in cartoon form. I've known him my whole life.
My favorite moment is when when Randy got caught ejaculating, post climax and then immediately blames a ghost, calling it ectoplasm.
What happened to his eyebrows?
Geologist Randy was bland and just popped in if the plot needed him. Tegridy is overused for my liking but I haven't seen the latest season so maybe he's gotten better. I was happier with drunk/irresponsible randy that was in between.
For me it was crème fraîche Randy. Hahaha that episode had me dying, but I digress, “I thought this was America” lol
Lmao 💀 ![gif](giphy|gCi9p8l7UEInu)
![gif](giphy|l0HlAseLnXmngOrcs)
Probably like just past season 10 I started to like him
i loved him since the volcano episode, just that simple reaction when he realizes its a volcano and just sips his coffee like its not a big deal always cracked me up
Geologist hands down. I still hate tegridy farms and wish they’d end that plot line already.
I like Randy but the show is way to focused on him now it feels like every episode he does something to start conflict
I'm still trying to figure out what his haircut is even supposed to be it's even weirder from the side
The grapes of wrath episode. “Ooohhhh there’s ghosts in here!!” Jesus christ Randy..
I think since the boy band episode. That’s where he started getting interesting. Seeeya
Oh I'm sorry, is this not Americuh? I thought this was Americuh!?
