About

This is Stan and Shelly's father. He is South Park's local geologist and also a big fan of beer and all types of alcohol. He and his wife Sharon briefly separated in "Clubhouses", and divorced in "You're Getting Old" and "Ass Burgers", but have since patched everything up.

He is not afraid to fight for what he believes in -- like getting drunk at little league baseball games and punching dads on the opposing teams (in "The Losing Edge"). He is also an anti-war advocate, an anti-queef protester, and a big fan of President Barack Obama.

As a teen, Randy was in the boy band "The Ghetto Avenue Boys." He is also a member of the secretive Hare Club For Men. Currently, Randy is the Guinness Book of World Records holder for "Biggest Crap," after beating out Bono with his 100+ Couric crap. (More Crap)

Randy used to be sort of smart, but as the years went by, he became gradually dumber. In his early appearances on the show, he was a simple geologist going through what his friend Gerald did like a normal father, although Gerald was a dolphin once. (Mr. Garrison's fancy new vagina) He divorced his wife twice, but quickly reunited with her after both instances. He became very popular when he told the whole town to fart to avoid becoming victims of spontaneous combustion, but that supposed solution caused the town to experience a heat wave. He joined the Confederation with his half brother and other men, but he only did so because he wanted to be able to drink "S'more Schnapps". He reappears in Something You Can Do with Your Finger and he becomes furious when Stan joins a boy band with his friends. Randy then tells Stan the story of when he was a joined a boy band that went downhill rather rapidly, but h ended up joining Stan and his friends as a member of Fingerbang when Kenny McCormick was fatally crushed by an elevator at the South Park Mall. He appears with his friend when they drop off their sons, along with Eric Cartman and Timmy Burch at a Boy Scouts meeting and then get their boys' gay counselor fired. His next major role in an episode saw him and Sharon lecturing Stan about not sexually stimulating the family dog. After that, him and Stuart hang out and look at the 'It' created by Mr. Garrison. Randy also gets a new purple shirt in The Entity. In Red Hot Catholic Love he and the rest of the parents become atheists, with the exceptions of Gerald Broflovski and Sheila Broflovski, likely because they are Jewish, and Stuart McCormick and Mrs. McCormick, probably because their son was dead. Randy and the rest of the parents send their children away in Child Abduction is Not Funny in which we learn Randy knows how to speak Mongolian. Next he sings his rock and roll song against Skeeter's country song. He loses his job to the futuristic immigrants known as Goobacks and has an orgy with the other men in South Park in Goobacks. Randy went through a phase in which he fought the parents of players on opposing Little League baseball teams. Randy becomes obsessed with World of Warcraft in Make Love, Not Warcraft. He then introduces Stan to the Hare Club for Men. Later on, he tries to play Guitar Hero and ends up being terrible at it. He turns out to be better at playing Heroin Hero, even though the player never actually catches the dragon. In Over Logging, he becomes addicted to online porn. He also gets a video camera, pisses his whole family off and videotapes the Guinea Creatures attacking South Park. Randy also had a short stint as a celebrity chef, hosting a cooking shown entitled Cafeteria Fraiche. He becomes a member of the Pissed Off and Angry Party after he discovers that much of his rage stems from having a small penis. Randy later wrote a Broadway musical initially called "Splooge-Drenched Blowjob Queen", but later changes the title to "The Woman in White" in order to hide the fact that the purpose of his Broadway musical, which like essentially every other major musical on Broadway, is for men to receive fellatio from their significant others. When he finds out that Shelly's boyfriend Larry Feegan is taking her to a musical, Randy dresses as Spider-Man to prevent his daughter from going down on her new boyfriend and ends up inadvertently killing Larry. (Broadway Bro Down) After this, Randy, along with Cartman and most of the other adult men in town wear the mask of the super villain Bane from Batman and end up murdering the local UPS delivery driver. Randy, along with basically all of the other adults in South Park, initially watch the murder reenactment programs that air on Investigation Discovery, but are unable to watch these programs after the kids in town place parental controls that end up blocking Investigation Discovery. He and all of the town's other grown-ups end up bringing their erotic murder fantasies to the servers of the popular sandbox video game Minecraft, much to the horror of the children in town. (Informative Murder Porn) Randy also becomes a mall security guard in order to take advantage of the ridiculously good shopping deals offered on Black Friday. In season 18, we find out Randy is leading a double life, as he is performing and producing music as Lorde, a critically-acclaimed teenage singer-songwriter from New Zealand. He also is a noted master of Cock Magic, a type of performance magic that involves magicians performing multitudes of magic tricks that involve their penises. Randy eventually ends up becoming a member of the PC Delta fraternity and helps to develop an urban renewal project that surrounds the McCormick family's house known as SoDoSoPa, short for South of Downtown South Park.

Close Friends

Randy's closest friends have always been his Tegrdiy-filled business partner, a couple of his fellow dads, and his co-worker at the USGS.

Bar Buddies

Randy usually hangs out with these guys at Skeeter's Wine Bar, but rarely interacts with them one on one. But when the newest fad, a wife-hungry milkman or a kidnapping witch come to town, they all rally together for more than just a drink.

Fellow City Council Members

Although Randy is rarely seen speaking with these folks outside of meetings, he seems to be on friendly terms with all of them.

Behind The Scenes

• Randy was first seen in the third episode "Volcano", although his relationship as Stan's father is never discussed in this episode.

Below is a selection of kick-ass behind the scenes content, exclusively from South Park:

From "Informative Murder Porn" (1702)

Character Art: Pissed-Off Randy=

Check out this pose of pissed-off Randy. Our art department created this while designing character poses for the breakfast scene with Stan (at the end of Informative Murder Porn). I wish I could live with Jaden Smith!

Character Art: Randy in Bed

This specialty pose of Randy (used for when he called customer service in bed) required totally new storyboards and Corels. In our opinion, it was totally worth it...

Script Excerpt: "Learning Minecraft"

Check out this script excerpt from the "how do you get wood?" scene in Informative Murder Porn.

Animating Minecraft

The scene mimicking the world of Minecraft was created using the same 3D animation program we've used for every episode since Season 6.
