Randy Marsh went from a somewhat reasonable adult and father to the extreme manchild that he is today.

That's what brought on this thought, but thinking in it more.....he was always pretty awful, he just hid it a little better

There's also Cartman, who went from a just jerkass fat kid to the next coming of Hitler willing to commit murder to further his goals.

It didn't take that long to get him there, though.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that happened early on, Scott Tenorman was only s5 after all

Kyle and Stan have been flanderized to hell. Every episode involving Kyle has become him preaching the moral hierarchy while being a natural hypocrite when it comes to issues he isn't affected by, and every episode involving Stan has become him becoming a spitting image of his father.

The fucking Blame Canada revival killed me with Kyle

I dont think that's quite fair to Stan, though. Stan is self aware generally but doesn't know how to fix it.

Honestly both of them seem like the kind of kid I'd expect to come from their awful parents lol

I like how Gerald is usually reasonable but will randomly have those moments like the cheesing episode or the skankhunt saga

Right?

Though he also needs to bring his wife in line sometimes, which I realize sounds horrible but we're talking about the woman who started a war over a TV show. Behavior her son emulated.

The show itself is flanderized.

Every episode is like:

  • A thing happens
  • Entire town engages in gross overreaction to thing
  • Cartman and Kyle take opposite positions on said thing
  • Stan gives some middle ground heartwarming compromising speech
  • Everything is back to normal

Is it still like this? I started to notice this formula ~2008 and fell off shortly afterwards.

It makes for better storylines like this one where he was Lorde

Yeah Randy is pretty much the worst character in the show now when he was the best at one point. They really ruined him.

Randy is awful now. The whole show is centered around him and its the same type of jokes over and over again.

Enough with the Tegridy Farms bullshit

He moved him and his family to a weed farm right outside South Park and became a weed farmer. It was a funny bit at first but it's drawn on for too many seasons long and he's the focal character of too many episodes now. Or at least the episode's problem of the day usually starts with something Randy's involved in and then Stan tells the other kids at school how annoying his dad is being and the episode goes from there.

They pretty much replaced Kenny as the 4th main character with Randy
