Throughout the years,Randy has had some questionable quotes, including: “Just gonna get a little bit of cancer, Stan” when he wanted medicinal marijuana. However, there are rare times when a beloved TV dad has had moments of insight and actually proves to be a knowledgeable father.
Through the use of his successful Tegridy Farms, Randy has an eye for business and the economy, but before all of this came Margaritaville. Randy become somewhat of a messiah to the rest ofSouth Parkand informed his fellow townsfolk on ways to cut down their spending.
However, with this insightful quote comes the unnecessary margaritas, which are essential to him during times of hardship. The message is clear that when it comes down to it, humans will need only the basics to get by, but in Randy’s case that includes a delicious alcoholic beverage.
9"We Didn’t Listen!"
Back in 2005 in the 8th episode of season 9, Cartman and Stan accidentally destroy a beaver dam and to void themselves of blame, they instead place blame on global warming. Randy, again, becomes somewhat of a messiah, regularly spouting ‘We didn’t listen!"

Randy is aware of the effects of global warming, he was actually a scientist (a geologist) before switching to Tegridy Farms, so he is a well-educated man.“We didn’t listen"refers to the fact that the people of South Park ignored the effects of global warming before it was seemingly too late. Mr Marsh offers a chilling reminder that we only have one planet, and it should be looked after. Perhaps they should have listened.
8“I mean, this was something I made! Something that came from me! That was a part of me! The only thing I ever made that was any good!”
Randy has shown many times that he is proud of his work, his Tegridy Farms, his music career as Lorde and even when he made the world’s biggest crap. In the 9th episode of the 11th season, Randy is in the midst of a world record attempt at the world’s biggest number two.
Even if it is something as ridiculous as the nature of this episode, Randy produces a wonderful quote about self-praise and being proud of something that he has achieved, whether it is little or large the successes should be celebrated (even if it is taking the world’s biggest crap).
7"We’ve got an economy in the toilet, a big election coming up, but this country’s #1 priority should be making football safer!”
Football is the cornerstone of most American households,with the Superbowl being one of the most-watched sporting events in the world every year. When Randy Marsh takes charge of the school’s football team in South Park he aims to make it safer, with it eventually being morphed into ‘Sarcastaball’.
Although, the economy and politics are very important in society, at the end of the day the general publics’ main priority is their sports, and it is important to keep them safer. This episode satirizes the way the sport is going with many safety precautions being put into place. Randy understands that football needs to be safer, so it can continue to be an important part of most people’s lives.
6“I’m Not Having A Glass Of Wine, I’m Having Six! It’s Called A Tasting & It’s Classy!"
If there is anything in life to enjoy it is the finer things, a nice piece of clothing, an expensive car or in Randy’s case a nice glass of wine… or eight. When Randy has an issue with Stan’s microtransaction purchases on a mobile game, he cannot see that he is doing the exact same thing with alcohol.

5“Staaaaaan. I’ve Never Been Able To Say This Before, But… I Love You, Son. Augh!”
In the famous episode of season 10 ‘Make Love, Not Warcraft’, Randy goes to extreme lengths to help his son Stan defeat the griever on World of Warcraft. Even dying (in the game) to do so ends in a beautiful moment in which Randyshows a rare moment of love towards his son.
In a touching moment between father and son, Randy shows that it is okay to show emotion and how important it is to tell the people closest that you love them, even if it is through a platform of an MMORPG.
4"The New Star Wars Was Not As Good As Everyone Thought It Was. It May Seem Fun To Go Back And Recycle The Past We Loved, But We End Up With No Sustenance."
There is no question about it that movies, on a whole, don’t have the same charm to them that they used to. Most movies arepart of a franchise or a sequel or a reboot, which is just a rehash of old ideas.
Randy wants to take it back to the old ways, original ideas that aren’t just a cash grab. He understands that looking back has its perks but when it is done constantly the quality and originality are lost along the way. South Park touches on a wide variety of matters and this one is very important for movie fans.
3"Can You Believe It, Stan? The State Championship, It’s The Greatest Thing Ever. I Worked Hard, Believed In Myself, And Now I’m Gonna Be Fighting In The State Championship Game. This Is Gonna Be The Biggest Fight Of My Life."
It is hugely important to believe in yourself, the most successful people are driven and never give up on their goals and what they want to achieve. In Randy Marsh’s case, even if that is fighting another dad at a little league baseball game.RELATED:Every South Park Christmas Special, RankedRandy defied the odds and got into the State Championship game, never gave up and always believed in himself to do get to the end and face the Bat-dad. Truly an inspiration and his words and commitment can be transferred into whatever goal needs to be accomplished.
2"He’s Right, Sharon. We Don’t Have To Believe Every Word Of The Bible. They’re Just Stories To Help Us Live By. We Shouldn’t Toss Away The Lessons Of The Bible Just Because Some A–holes In Italy Screwed It Up."
Whatever someone’s thoughts on the bible and religion are, there is no question that the stories and teachings inside are important lessons. The Bible teaches forgiveness, expectance, dealing with grief and many other aspects of life that should be considered.
Wise words Randy, although most religions have their faults and not one is right or wrong, the lessons in the bible will make one a good person.In some cases, Randy should listen to his own advice, however.
In the 11th episode of the 15th season, Randy takes his wife Sharon to a Broadway musical, but for all the wrong reasons to receive a reward for it from his wife instead of doing it because it is a nice thing.
When he discovers his daughter Shelly has been taken to a musical by her boyfriend, Randy must do everything to prevent this, dressing up as Spider-Man and causing an accident that killed Shelley’s date was probably not what he had in mind.Randy admits his mistake, with this quote and learns a lesson in the process that you shouldn’t do nice things just to get a reward. It is important to admit that you were wrong and the way Randy does this here.
