I think we acknowledge how diverse the South park fanbase is in question of age, and I notice how the younger fans of the show (me included) detest Tegridy Randy while the older fans seem to like and relate to him and his attitude.

Me personally, I dislike him and I’m a younger fan with asshole parents lol. I want to hear all opinions of all age groups.

    I love Randy before Tegridy, after Tegridy and till the end of time, and while not one of the older fans, I have been there a while, seeing Season 4 in about 2010

    I hated Randy and then I hit middle age and hate my existence because it’s just endless bullshit at work and at home and I get it now and most major issues have obvious solutions but we don’t do them.

    I’m 28 so the show and I are nearly the same age but I’ve been watching since I was about 11, Tegridy Randy was funny for a while but for at least the past year I’ve though it was time for it to end.

    37 here; Randy is my favourite character hands down, and I’d be willing to say getting older and having a kid helped me appreciate his subtle old man absurdity.

    I still love the way they use Cartman as a child psychopath though!

    Too old to be considered a young fan but too young to relate, even before tegredity we was a bit overboard. I prefer the old days of a good Cartman/Butters episode

    I’m in the old group and I love all sides of Randy, I think Tegridy Randy is supposed to be something you enjoy getting annoyed at and it’s perfection

      But this isn’t getting annoyed at like the office. The office was stupid bur funny and we didn’t get annoyed at the show just carols character…this is making people get annoyed at the show…so unwatchable sometimes now.

    I guess I would be considered “older”, in that this show started when I was a kid and I’m now in my mid 30s… lol. Randy is a Rollercoaster for me because he’s changed a lot over the course of the show… started out he was just kind of a nobody/side character, with a few good moments here and there (like spontaneous combustion) And then they started giving him his own storylines and most of them were funny af, so I like this middle era of Randy a lot… but then the tegridy storylines started and holy shit am I sick of Randy at this point… He hasn’t been funny in a while for me.

    I find that people with asshole parents don’t like him whereas people who like their parents think he’s just buffoonish and funny.

    I haven’t noticed it varying with age.

    Tergridy farms isn’t funny to me and I’ve watched South Park from the beginning. Never saw or understood the humor connection

    What do you consider is the cutoff for being a younger fan? I’m 29 so I was a toddler when the show started but I’ve enjoyed watching Randy’s development from a generic background character into one with depth.

    I like Randy because he’s retarded. There is no “Tegridy Randy”. There’s just Randy, and he’s just retarded, Tegridy or no Tegridy.
