Role
For the first time, Randy appears in the episode " Volcano ". However, Volcano does not mention his relationship with Stan. Over the first season of the series, Randy looks a bit different than in subsequent episodes. He takes his usual appearance in the episode " Kurolyub ."
Randy is the only scientist in South Park , he is the winner of the Nobel Prize , as well as the world record holder in the field of "making" the biggest pile of crap. In his youth, Randy was a member of the popular boy group, for which he left the city and school. Later, when the group broke up, he returned to South Park, where he had to endure the humiliation of the inhabitants of the city. Randy was a hippie at college, which is why he met his wife , although in the episode “ Something You Can Do With Your Finger, ” Randy, while still a schoolboy, leaving for New York to become a member of a boy group, leaves his girlfriend very similar to Sharon.
Despite his degree, Randy is perhaps the most infantile of adult characters and in many ways resembles a teenager. He is also easily influenced by the media and often performs incredibly stupid acts, while demonstrating decent stupidity:
- In the episode “ Red-skinned Greed ”, Randy loses in the casino an amount sufficient to redeem the city, wanting to win even more.
- In the episode " Bloody Mary ", learning that alcoholism is a disease, imagines himself terminally ill.
- In the episode " Night of the Living Homeless " he kills his acquaintance, mistaking him for a homeless man because the warehouse was confiscated from him.
- In the pandemic dilogy, having bought a video camera, he cannot leave it for a minute and removes everything that he sees, which makes his family furious. In the end, it turned out that there were no cassettes in the camcorder all this time.
- In the episode " About Last Night, " he curses his boss, firmly believing that with Obama’s presidency, life will change dramatically, and after reporting his dismissal, he will abruptly turn to McCain’s supporters.
- In the episode Nightmare on Feystime , Randy spent all of his $ 10,000 family savings on video rental, naively believing that someone would go there.
But in general, Randy is a rather talented person: he can sing, dance, play the guitar, has some artistic abilities. Moreover, as the episode " Girl " opens, he is known in show business as the singer Lord .
In addition, he takes care of his son almost better than any other father in the city: he always comes to the aid of Stan and tries to protect him in every possible way from the harmful effects of the outside world - drugs, random connections, kidnappers, etc. In the episode “ Make Love and not Warcraft ”Randy agrees to help his son defeat the grief by handing Stan the“ Sword of a Thousand Truths ”, and even plays along with him at the time of the death of his hero.
Also in the episode " Wonderful Easter Story " it turns out that Randy is in a secret Easter rabbit community.
From the episode “ End of Connection ”, it turns out that Randy is a pervert. He loves to masturbate to pornography on the Internet, and prefers porn with elements of coprophilia , bestiality , etc. Also, in the episode “The Return of the Brotherhood of the Ring to Two Towers, ” Randy rents the porn film “Whores from the Gateway - 9” with elements of fetishism and BDSM . In the Scott Tenormann Must Die series, he spied on Scott's mother from the bushes. In the series “ Two Naked Guys in a Hot Bath, ” Randy and Gerald Broflovsky masturbate in front of each other in the jacuzzi.
Randy is an active fan of the South Park kids baseball team. However, he goes to his son’s games with the clear intention to get drunk well and then fight with the father of one of the rivals [4] .
In the 19th season, Randy, under the influence of the new director of the school, becomes a radical adherent of SJW and often unreasonably accuses the rest of sexism, fascism, homophobia and may even begin to deliberately pursue them and persecution.
Randy's birthday is March 1.
According to the game South Park: Stick of the Truth was abducted by aliens and taken to a UFO, where "experiments" were conducted on it. Randy refers to kidnapping himself as a rather ordinary thing that happens to those who "live in a small quiet mountain town."
