Randy Marsh

Personality:   Randall S. Marsh is the husband of Sharon, and the father of Stan and Shelley. Despite being a geologist with a doctorate, Randy is generally portrayed as an absent-minded idiot, driving many episode plots in the later seasons, though this was later revealed to be due to him being unhappy over his marriage. However, in earlier seasons, he was calmer and more level-headed, often providing advice to the boys. In "You're Getting Old", he divorced Sharon and moved away. However, in "A** Burgers", Randy reconciled with her and remarried, therefore getting their old house back. In Season Twenty-Two, he founded the Tegridy Farms hemp farming business, before returning to his geologist job in South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 2 and later selling the farm in "Sickofancy". Sexual Appetite As first seen in "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub", Randy has a very unhealthy addiction to masturbation. He often masturbates without thinking straight and becomes obsessive on whatever he is masturbating on. In "Scott Tenorman Must Die", he was watching Mrs. Tenorman take her bra off. Later, in "Over Logging", he sneaks in the room where the internet is hidden then goes on it and starts looking at unusual pornographic material. In "Crème Fraiche", he was beating it to cooking shows. This soon became an obsession, and it forced Sharon to give him an "old fashioned" in order to end his obsession and save their marriage. In "The Red Badge of Gayness", "Clubhouses", and "The Losing Edge", it was hinted that Randy has a drinking problem. Cartman also mentioned it in "Grey Dawn", at one point stating, "Looks like Stan's dad's been hitting the bottle again." Randy's problem was more closely examined in "Bloody Mary" after he was pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving. He got a DUI and his driver's license was suspended. The judge made him go around schools including South Park Elementary to explain to kids why heavy drinking is bad and sentenced him to two weeks of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. As a result of the A.A. meetings, he misunderstands the concept of alcoholism and believes that only spirituality can cure him of this. Randy has been depicted as everything from a casual drinker to a heavy alcoholic. He is still not as bad as Kenny's father, Stuart McCormick, as, unlike the latter, Randy is sober most of the time. He also had a job until he got himself fired in "About Last Night..." for a drunken tirade directed toward his boss. (It was revealed, though, that Randy was re-hired as a geologist in "You Have 0 Friends"). It appears that he is a binge drinker - one who stays most of the time sober but drinks heavily at suitable instances. He might have a family history of alcoholism because his son Stan was seen getting drunk in order to avoid his cynicism in "You're Getting Old"; this was foreshadowed in Stan using being depressed and using alcohol to relieve his depression, saying that Stan had (subconscious) depression in "Trapped in the Closet" where Stan questions that if he becomes an alcoholic like Randy's father, Marvin, who has a bottle of scotch with him (although one bottle of scotch and the only one at the table with a beverage of alcohol doesn't mean anything and Randy's father has never shown any alcoholism in the show before as up to date). Randy was shown to still have a drinking problem in "Freemium Isn't Free" and "Stunning and Brave" although he denied this in both cases. It is also implied in "Die Hippie, Die", that Randy and his wife, Sharon, used to be Hippies, and they met at Woodstock in 1969. If this was the case, though, they would be in their mid-forties to mid-fifties. However, this may have been simply a cutaway joke. Also, they were revealed to have met in a tree-fort playing Truth or Dare, in "Clubhouses". Randy tells the other adults in town, at the end of "Child Abduction is Not Funny", that he studied Mongolian in college, possibly minoring in the subject. He then speaks it to the children, who have joined a tribe of Mongolians. However, it appears that he does not apply his knowledge of the language to his life, as this is the only time he is heard speaking it. He may also have a Ph.D. in Geology as he has been called Dr. Marsh on two separate occasions (although one of those times was himself). In "Make Love, Not Warcraft", Randy makes a World of Warcraft account (which is named Falcorn and is a level 2 human hunter, which is not possible in the actual game at the time of the episode's creation) after seeing his son Stan play it. In "Pinewood Derby", he makes Stan cheat in his derby race, accidentally discovers warp drive, and consequently becomes the first contact for aliens coming to Earth. He and the leaders of the world keep trying to cover their lies. Randy grounded Stan for telling the truth, however, he and the others lied to the aliens. As punishment for failing that test so badly, Earth and the Moon are permanently enclosed in a gigantic, cubical force field and isolated from the rest of the Universe — to which Randy says, "Well, that sucks." Vehicles Owned Randy has driven red sedans, Lexus RX300s, and Lincoln Navigators. In "Smug Alert!", he is seen driving a Honda Civic Hybrid. Careers and Occupations He is currently a hemp farmer. He has had numerous other occupations throughout the series, the most notable one being a geologist. Ever since his first appearance, Randy has been shown to be a geologist. In later seasons, notably in the Season Eight episode "Goobacks", he is known to be a worker for the United States Geological Survey. He became famous for his theory on moderation in "Spontaneous Combustion" and won the Nobel Prize Award for it. He is often called upon to perform many scientific tasks, due to his education and positions. He is usually unable to perform the tasks despite the fact he is a geologist and thus has a high level of understanding of many areas of science, including chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics. However, his skills in geology might not be that good as well, as in "Volcano", Randy had to call someone to figure out why the "needle thing" was moving and what it meant when the mountain was smoking, and even after discovering it was a volcanic eruption, he casually finishes his coffee first. He lost his job in "About Last Night..." for verbally and physically abusing his boss and then punching him because he thought he did not need his job now that Obama was president. Randy was eventually re-hired, as first seen in "You Have 0 Friends" when he tells Stan that he saw his new Facebook page while at the office. Sharon's outfit slightly resembles that of Stan's, except with a few slight variations. She has short light brown hair in a pixie cut and matching eyebrows and a skin tone that her son inherited. Sharon's outfit is a mimic of her son Stan's outfit with a long-sleeve, faded-brown blouse with a ruffled high red collar and red ruffles at the end of her sleeves with blue jean pants and black shoes. At night, Sharon wears a knee-length, long-sleeve creamy-white nightgown with pink lining at the hem and neck, and two orange-yellow flowers embroidered on the chest. As seen in "Stanley's Cup", she had much longer hair during Stan's early childhood. Stanley "Stan" Marsh is one of South Park's main characters along with Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick, and serves as the main protagonist of the franchise.He is described as friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and relaxed, and is also the most tender and sensitive of the main characters. He is also the oldest of the four main boys, having his tenth birthday in "You're Getting Old", previously have had his ninth birthday in "Whale W*****". He has a bad habit of pinching the bridge of his nose and saying 'Dude' when upset. Stan has asthma brought up in "Sexual Harassment Panda", but it is never brought up again. Stan's two main best friends are Kyle and Kenny respectively, with Kyle being his very best friend, or “super-best-friend.” He is frequently seen around them, as well as with his on-and-off girlfriend, Wendy Testaburger. Stan has blue eyes and a medium-light skin tone. He has short, straight black hair with shaggy bangs and two cowlicks on top of his head. He is mostly shown wearing a brown coat with a red collar, a royal-blue winter cap with a red pom-pom ball on top of it and matching rim on the edging of the cap, and dark-blue jeans. Under his coat, he either wears a red and blue baseball shirt or a white t-shirt/V-neck. He also wears a blue Terrance and Phillip shirt to bed and a green suit for special occasions. In some episodes, it is clear he has black hair (like his father Randy) when his hat is partially or completely removed - this was first seen in "A Very Crappy Christmas". When his hat is removed, it is seen that he has short, straight hair with black shaggy fringe. Despite having blue eyes and being described as having blue eyes in "A Very Crappy Christmas", "Good Times with Weapons" has an animation error with the anime appearance of him where he has brown eyes. Shelley Marsh is Randy and Sharon Marsh's daughter and Stan Marsh's older sister. She is vindictive, aggressive, and extremely ill-tempered, referring to those around her as "turds" and often beating or even torturing Stan and his friends when adults are not around, though nonetheless compassionate; later seasons have instead emphasized Shelley as assertive and focused more on her relationship with her father. At the time of her introduction in "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig", it is established that Shelley has been physically harming Stan for some time and that the other boys are already aware of it, questioning if she caused his black eye. Stan insists that Shelley has been beating him up because she recently received orthodontic headgear at the dentist and is taking her anger out on him. Throughout the episode, Shelley questions if Stan is staring at her headgear or her neck brace, accusing him of lying when he denies this and using it as a pretext to attack him. These attacks including elaborate setups such as throwing Stan through a window and trying to use a lawnmower on him. Stan insists that their parents have not listened when he has previously tried to tell them Shelley is beating him up, and that they do not believe him. They take Shelley at her word that Stan has been with her despite being told by Uncle Jimbo and the news that Stan has been attacking the town, an act which establishes some mutual understanding between them, though she continues to attack him. Shelley has medium-light brunette hair like her mother, whereas her brother Stan has their father's black hair. Shelley has bad dental problems and has to wear orthodontic headgear, giving her a very unappealing appearance. Because of that, Shelley is usually scowling or frowning and rarely smiles. Shelley has a distinct adenoidal, somewhat masculine, slurred voice, where she breathes heavily through her mouth and nose and has a lisp. Her regular outfit consists of a gray button-up long-sleeved shirt and nondescript bubblegum pink pants with black shoes. On some occasions, Shelley has been seen with her pajamas on; her pajama shirt is the same bubblegum pink as depicted in her usual outfit and her pants are light salmon pink. On special occasions, Shelley wears a white dress with fluffy white trim and an unbuttoned, pink, fluffy hooded cardigan with a lighter pink waistband whereas while at funerals, she wears a variation of the pink dress, but it is black and dark red. Shelley is one of the few characters older than the fifth grade who lacks a nose, and she is considerably shorter than other teenage characters. Shelley is often defined by her anger and aggression towards others, which she often expresses towards her younger brother Stan, with whom she has had a contentious and difficult relationship with. Even when heartbroken over not being able to see her boyfriend in "Over Logging" when Stan tries to comfort her, Shelley nonetheless attacks him to express her feelings. Though his friends do not tend to take Stan very seriously when he discusses Shelley's behavior, they nonetheless appear intimidated by her as well. Shelley's aggression seems to be rooted in an insecurity based on her looks, as mentioned by Stan in her debut, when he suggests she has been beating her up because she had been given new orthodontic headgear. Shelley also admits in "Cat Orgy" that nobody had ever liked her before and that nobody would go out with her because she was "ugly". Shelley accuses Stan more than once of staring at her braces and accuses him of lying when he denies it, further suggesting serious insecurity. Shelley has also exhibited jealousy of her mother's relationship with her brother, accusing her of "always taking Stan's side", though Stan has conversely claimed they believe she is "innocent and sweet", suggesting they both feel competitive towards their parents' feelings.
