Top 10 Awkward Randy Moments on South Park
#10: The Hot Tub Incident at the Meteor Shower Party “Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub”
When Randy and Gerald attend a meteor shower party, they decide to celebrate by trying something crazy they’ve never done before. So they take turns gratifying themselves in a hot tub while the other watched. For the rest of the night, the incident weighs heavily on Randy, who is now afraid of what would happen if people found out what he and Gerald were doing. Complicating the situation, Gerald becomes clingy to Randy, and he tells guests at the party about their experimenting, even though it was obviously supposed to be private. Not cool, Gerald.
#9: The Time He Celebrated Obama’s Victory Too Hard “About Last Night…”
Like many Americans on election night 2008, Randy was thrilled when Barack Obama was elected president. However, he was completely irrational with his celebration, getting plastered, flipping over a cop car, and telling off his boss. But perhaps most insufferable of all Randy’s acts was taking popular songs like “Mandy” and “Mickey” and replacing the names in those songs with Obama. With Obama’s victory, Randy mistakenly assumed that things were going to be perfect in the future because of the change Obama promised. Instead, Randy is fired the next morning due to this drunken behavior, which completely shattered this faith in Barack Obama.
#8: The Time He Got Served “You Got F’d in the A”
In this episode, Stan engages in a dance off against a dance crew, which plays out like how neighborhood kids fight. Concerned that Stan could get hurt trying to serve the other side, Randy tells coach of the dance crew that Stan won’t be dancing anymore, like how a parent might intervene when neighborhood kids get into fight. The coach, however, responds by challenging Randy to a dance off and serving Randy so hard he winds up in the hospital. This is probably the only example on this list where Randy acted reasonably.
#7: His Run-in with a Mormon Family “All About Mormons”
Top 20 Awkward Randy Marsh Moments on South Park
After talking to a Mormon kid from school, Stan has questions for Randy about religion. Uncomfortable with the subject matter, Randy heads over to the Mormon’s kids house to berate his father. However, when Randy discovers how wonderfully pleasant this Mormon family is, he decides to convert his whole family to the Mormon faith, so they can be just as happy. But the Marshes don’t automatically turn into delightful people just because they’re changed religions, as evidenced by their ill-fated game night which sees Randy forcing family time down their throats while everyone else looks miserable.
#6: Anytime Randy Is Drunk Various
Some people can drink alcohol on the reg and never have any problems, but unfortunately, Randy isn’t one of them. Whenever Randy has had too much to drink, what little dignity he has goes right out the window. His excessive drinking is a never ending source of embarrassment for Stan, whether he’s getting into fights at Stan’s little league games, or giving a speech to Stan’s elementary school class about the dangers of drunk driving as part of his community service. Randy's actions while drinking have also led to him being arrested several times, which is great from an audience perspective but disappointing in a parent.
#5: The Time a Native American Man Fell in Love with Him “Holiday Special”
Before the zeitgeist shifted towards vilifying Christopher Columbus, Randy used to be a big fan, even dressing up like the explorer on many occasions. When the town is about to discover his obsession with the polarizing figure, Randy decides the best way to inoculate the discovery is to rig a DNA test to show that he has Native American DNA. To do so, he collects saliva from a Native American man... by kissing him shortly before the test is administered. However, the Native American mistakenly believes that Randy is in love with him and thus tries to foster a relationship.
#4: The Time He Was in a Boy Band “Something You Can Do with Your Finger”
When Stan co-forms a boy band, Randy becomes completely hostile to the idea. It's not just because it's the year 2000 and people are sick of boy bands, either. It's because his life was ruined by being a member of a such band, and he doesn’t want Stan to go down the dark path. Randy tells Stan how he was recruited for a boy band called The Ghetto Avenue Boys, and how he left his family and high school to seek fame and fortune. But when the good times ended, he had to go back to the same people he had blown off. The saddest part is, the only reason he was even recruited was for his mustache.
#3: Computer Time “Over Logging”
Because of a massive internet outage, Randy’s family is forced to migrate to California, much like a modern day version of the Joads, or maybe the Clampetts. At a camp where the Marshes settle, people are given only a short amount of time to use what little internet is available. But at night when the computer is left unguarded, Randy uses the computer to satisfy his built up urges. This results in a ... release ... that covers both Randy and the computer. When people come in to see what’s going on, Randy’s excuse is that he was covered in “ectoplasm” that came from a “spooky ghost.” Unsurprisingly, no one buys this.
#2: Randy’s Special Magic “Cock Magic”
Top 20 Funniest Randy Marsh South Park Moments Ever
In his younger days, it seems Randy performed an unusual brand of magic, which involved elaborate tricks with that special area below the belt. Through a misunderstanding, he thinks this kind of magic is becoming popular again, and he decides to get back in the game. Somehow, Randy manages to get booked at a child’s birthday party, and he traumatizes the children with his profane act. Later, Randy works his magic at an underground cock fight where chickens face off against each other in “Magic: The Gathering” matches, which seems like a more appropriate venue for this kind of magic act. It’s just another example of Randy getting obsessed with something weird, and throwing himself into it completely. Before we reveal our top pick, here are some (dis)honorable mentions. The Fight Between Lorde & Iggy “#REHASH” His Cooking Show Phase “Crème Fraîche” The Time He Crashed a Broadway Musical Dressed as Spider-Man “Broadway Bro Down” The Time He Hired an Actor to Pretend to Be Stan from the Future “My Future Self ‘n’ Me” The “White People Renovating Houses” Argument “White People Renovating Houses”
#1: Wheel of Fortune Puzzle “With Apologies to Jesse Jackson”
Top 10 Cringiest Wheel of Fortune Fails
Game show fails are embarrassing enough for contestants, but it’s even worse when racial slurs are involved. When Randy is participating in the bonus round of “Wheel of Fortune,” all he has to do to win is fill in the “a” for the word “naggers.” But because this is “South Park” Randy picks the worst possible wrong vowel, making him not only look like an idiot, but also a giant racist. Had Randy spent just a couple of seconds longer, he might have relaxed and solved the puzzle, but because of the pressure, all he was left with was a quiet ride home with his family where he tried to explain himself.
