Top 20 Funniest Randy Marsh South Park Moments Ever

A season eighteen episode revealed that Randy has been living a double life as both Randy Marsh and pop star Lorde. It all started when he wanted to use the women’s bathroom, but became a superstar in the process. As the secret begins to come out, he writes the catchy song “Push,” about pushing through adversity and maybe about pushing… something else. The gag runs throughout the eighteenth season, with Sia making a guest appearance as the edited voice of Lorde. The real-life Lorde herself even praised the portrayal and the episode’s themes of transgender acceptance. It’s absurd, hilarious, and everything we’ve come to expect from Randy Marsh.

Who knew a miniature car would cost Earth so much trouble? Randy decides to help Stan build his Pinewood Derby car with a little help from the Large Hadron Collider. When the car blasts off the track and hits light speed, it gets noticed by an alien criminal who visits Earth. Randy hilariously ping-pongs between his efforts to appease the alien and keeping his secret about cheating in the derby. But it’s only when he and the others stumble upon the space cash that things take an even crazier turn. Every time the alien police show up to inquire about it, we witness Randy’s terrible attempts at concealing the truth. Add in his discussions with other country leaders on how to use and split the cash, and you’re in for some great laughs.

With all of Randy’s wackiness, it’s easy to forget that he’s actually a geologist. After Stan and Cartman destroy a nearby dam, causing a flood, it’s revealed that a global warming catastrophe will happen two days before the day after tomorrow. If only people had listened! The town begins to panic that the weather outside the community center has reached an unreal low, but Randy bravely heads out into the… “dangerous” terrain along with Gerald and Stephen. Naturally, he’s bundled in layers in the perfectly average weather, believing himself to be feeling hot due to hypothermia. When Randy gets the other moronic adults on his side, it’s always a recipe for a great episode.

To say that Randy despises vaping is an understatement. Upon starting his marijuana business, he is infuriated when he finds out that vaping has grown in popularity. When discovering that Stan was in possession of a vape, Randy has had enough; he decides to end the craze himself once and for all by taking down a nearby vape manufacturer. How does he orchestrate the takedown, might you ask? By literally walking in and injuring anyone and everyone in his path. Oh yeah, and he caused the entire place to blow up. Now that’s tegrity.

In this episode, the boys become obsessed with taking down an overpowered character in World of Warcraft who’s so strong he can kill Game Masters and Admins. Not to be left out, Randy starts playing the game as well. He’s eventually tasked with an important mission - to deliver The Sword of a Thousand Truths to his son. Dying in-game after completing his mission, Randy delivers a heartfelt speech to Stan over his mic, complete with painful gurgles and death cries… all in the middle of a Best Buy. You have to love his commitment.

When Randy gets a video camera, he becomes a little overzealous. Okay, he gets a lot overzealous. Though at first he’s just recording everything that happens in the house, he takes it to Randy levels of ridiculous when he refuses to put the camera down during a giant guinea pig attack. Hilariously parodying found footage horror films, he documents the event and repeatedly declares how startled he is, with an iconic line. His antics are once again the highlight of the two-part episode, and it just goes to show that allowing Randy to be his obnoxious self is always a recipe for great comedy.

Randy’s attempt to get Christopher Columbus’ name removed from as many things as possible runs into a hitch when people discover he used to be “really into Columbus.” To counter this, he does what any rational person would do, and makes out with a Native American man before swabbing his mouth for DNA to discover his “ancestry.” Unfortunately for him, the man becomes infatuated with him as he tries to hide his secret, ultimately failing, while learning that he is 2.8% Neanderthal. Are we sure it isn’t 100%?

It turns out long before Randy became Lorde, he had a whole other music career. Upon hearing that his son wants to start a boy band with his friends, Randy is adamant about not letting Stan go through with it. After smashing a cabinet in the living room, we learn about Randy’s sad history and find out that he was a member of “The Ghetto Avenue Boys”. The fact that this oddball geologist was once a super rich and famous music star is funny in and of itself. Unfortunately, his career doesn’t last long. Before you know it, he loses everything as shown by a hilarious montage. We feel for Randy, but we can’t help but laugh.

Have you ever asked yourself what the Easter Bunny has to do with Jesus? Well, this season 11 gem of an episode did with hilarious results. We learn that Saint Peter was actually a rabbit, and Randy is a member of the “Hare Club for Men”: a secret society that protects the truth about Easter. The hilarity of this episode is entrenched in the entire story around rabbits and religion. It’s difficult for viewers to contain their laughter upon witnessing Randy’s serious tone when it comes to Easter, especially while he’s wearing a pair of rabbit ears. Randy’s insistence on sticking to his guns just makes the episode one of our favorites.

With Stan’s Little League team reluctantly dominating baseball season, Randy’s storyline parodies sports films by working his way up the “fighting dad” circuit. At every game, he starts a fight with a father from the opposing team, and is promptly arrested, even though . . . this is America! Despite feeling discouraged about fighting the Bat Dad at the state championship, Sharon inadvertently inspires him to continue. He has the fight of his life with the Bat Dad, unintentionally saving the day by getting the game thrown and keeping the kids from playing any more games. Once again, his stupidity saves the day.

Do you have any change? Those are five words Randy Marsh became terrified of. As the town of South Park is overrun by homeless people, Randy survives being trampled by escaping to the top of a building. The onslaught of homeless people in town becomes comparable to a zombie apocalypse. It’s from this we get a series of funny moments where Randy treats certain individuals as he would the undead. Refusing to help some of them, Randy’s extreme actions fall right in line with that of a zombie apocalypse survivor. The humor is far darker than we are used to seeing with this character.

When Obama won the 2008 election against John McCain, Randy was pretty stoked. So much so, in fact, that he leads a raucous party of ecstatic Obama supporters through the streets of South Park, putting an Obama spin on songs such as “Celebration,” “Mandy,” “Hey Mickey,” and even “Who Let the Dogs Out?” As the night wears on, he grows more and more drunkenly belligerent, believing his actions no longer have consequences, thanks to the election. He parties himself directly into the hospital and out of a job, at which point he disavows his beloved president-elect. It’s Randy at his most excessive, and we wouldn’t have him any other way.

The town of South Park is overjoyed when a “Wall-Mart” comes to town with its low-priced goods, but no one is more excited than Randy. It haunts his dreams until he visits the store at night; and there’s nothing more priceless than Randy calling to Stan to show him his new glitter stickers. They were only 99 cents! And when it seems like the crushingly monopolizing store is taking over, he becomes even further entrapped as he starts working at the Wall-Mart. Though he tries to be a hero and ultimately helps the boys defeat it, he’s once again distracted by the insanely low prices.

Inspired by Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s own work on Broadway, this episode follows Randy as he writes a musical, after apparently discovering that these productions can make some women become, well, physically amorous. However, some of Broadway’s biggest composers (like “Stephen Sondheim,”) take issue with his lack of subtlety. As a result, they bro down and then bro out with Randy, and finally settle on an ethos of respect for all. But the climax comes when he clumsily crashes a performance of “Wicked” as Spider-Man, resulting in some hysterical destruction. Randy’s musical, the name of which we can’t repeat here, is truly the stuff that Tonys were made for.

By the time we hit season 23, Randy’s weed operation was well-established and had already achieved significant progress. So when the mayor shows up asking for help to infuse some holiday spirit in the town, Randy & Towelie make some Christmas magic. With a dash of a special white “snow” in their weed, the town becomes lively once again. But with both Jesus and Santa opposing the new ingredient, we get Randy’s funniest moment of the episode. We never thought we’d see someone try to convince both Santa Claus and Jesus to partake in Randy’s new locally grown “snow”. It’s both understated and funny.

Ever the ambitious idiot, Randy decides to buy a Blockbuster just as streaming services are rising to prominence. Though he is ridiculed by his family and the ghosts that haunt the Blockbuster, he remains adamant about running the store. It’s a hilarious descent into madness, imitating scenes from “The Shining” to absurd perfection. Eventually, he’s terrorizing a Halloween party via an iPad on FaceTime and babbling nonsensically in the snow. By the end, he’s been frozen outside the video rental store a la Jack Torrance, but at least he got some Chicken McNuggets out of it.

Are we even allowed to laugh at this? In this season 11 episode, Randy’s visit to Wheel of Fortune goes off the rails in the worst possible way. Mistaking the word “naggers” for something far more racially charged, Randy’s life is turned upside down. From apologizing to Jesse Jackson, to being attacked by some countrymen, you want to laugh at his misfortune, but parts of us also feel a little guilty. The contrast of these two feelings helps drive home the episode’s strong point about the view of racism in today’s world. Who would have thought you could smile and cringe at the same time?

What would a “South Park” list be without an entry about the events that transpired in “More Crap”? Randy couldn’t be prouder of his enormous crap, calling the European Fecal Standards and Measurements office to confirm that it is indeed the world’s biggest. Unfortunately for him, Bono immediately steals his thunder with an even bigger crap; but Randy persists. With a diet of P.F. Chang’s, he manages to curate a crap even bigger than the original record - which, as it turns out, was Bono himself. It’s the show at its best and grossest, managing to self-deprecate while churning out plenty of laughs. What more could you expect from an Emmy-winning series?

Move over, Segway. The human space hopper is the new way around town. When KFC closes its doors in South Park, it’s replaced by a marijuana dispensary. Randy’s joy quickly turns sour as he learns his doctor won’t prescribe it to him unless he has cancer. The chuckles start when we see the ridiculous ways Randy attempts to get cancer. But when Randy and other men in town find themselves bouncing down the road using their own bodies as space hoppers, the laughs turn hysterical. Throw in a great music choice and you have a recipe for on-the-floor laughs.

When Randy packs the family up to head to California due to a town-wide internet outage, we get to see a different side of Stan’s dad. Upon discovering an internet refugee camp, Randy is disappointed to learn they only get 40 seconds each. But for Randy, 40 seconds is simply not enough. Upon sneaking in to get access to the camp’s computer, Randy gets unfettered access to the web, and finally finds a way to let himself go. Between the roars from the office and the reaction from seeing Randy in the chair, everything he does in this episode is pure comedy gold.
