The World’s Biggest Randy Marsh Fan Has Finally Perfected Her ‘South Park’ Shrine
Despite the many millions of adoring fans across the globe who may protest the title, there’s only one person on the internet who deserves to be called the World’s #1 Lorde-Lover.
When Randy Marsh first entered the South Park universe in the Season One episode “Volcano,” he looked very different from the multi-hyphenate pop star, geologist and ganja farmer that we know today — for one, he didn’t even have eyebrows in his inaugural appearance. The first South Park fans got to know Randy simply as the generic scientist hero in an extended parody of the inexplicably popular disaster film genre that Trey Parker and Matt Stone hated, but, as the show matured, so did Randy, so did Parker and Stone and so did the fans.
Today, Randy is the unofficial stand-in for the now-middle-aged Parker and Stone, and his personality is arguably the most nuanced of any character in the entire South Park canon. However, one artist in Michigan loves every side of South Park’s most multifaceted father figure, and over the last three years, she’s devoted an entire room in her home to capturing Randy from every angle through official, unofficial and homemade Randy memorabilia.

This is the world’s most comprehensive Randy shrine, and this is his lesbian wife Norah:
Cracked spoke with Mrs. Marsh — not Sharon, obviously — when her collection of Randy merch and memorabilia first went viral in late 2022. Interestingly, Norah revealed that, just a year before her Randy shrine attracted millions of views on TikTok, she wasn’t even a South Park watcher, and her journey to become the foremost fan of its paternal protagonist took place in the mere months following her first exposure to South Park earlier that year.
During the conversation, Norah answered many of the questions that South Park fans and TikTokers had been lobbing at her en masse ever since the tour of her prototype Randy shrine grabbed the internet’s attention — yes, she’s seen a psychiatrist, no, her fixation isn’t unhealthy, and, of course, she has a thriving, non-Randy-related life outside of the Tegridy Temple. Today, she even has a serious girlfriend who supports her ambition to be the number one Randy fan worldwide.
Back in 2022, Norah even hinted that the viral pictures and videos didn’t reveal the full extent of her collection, and the Randy shrine was still a work in progress. Comparing the above photo tour of the Randy room to the original posts, it’s clear that Norah has evolved as a South Park fan, a memorabilia collector and a museum curator.
Unfortunately, the trolls and haters who have been calling Norah’s collection a cry for help since the Marsh Museum first went viral are still there at the bottom of her comments telling her that she has to quit her passion. But, I’m sorry, I thought this was America.
