Randy Marsh is an Idiot

Before addressing Randy Marsh's "terrible mistake," I'd like to comment a bit on the set-up. First of all, I thought the letters R,S,T, L, N, and E were given to contestants in the bonus round of Wheel of Fortune. Without the given N, it seems as though Randy choosing it was more than chance; it was almost as though the suffix "ers" immediately made him consider the N word. Additionally, the clue "people who annoy you" is by far the most creative clue even a parody of Wheel of Fortune has ever demonstrated. The clues usually suck ass with trite blandness. Another funny aspect of the set-up is when Pat offers his usual "you've got some family here watching tonight, and "I'm sure you've got some friends watching back home," followed by "well lets see if you can't make everyone proud." Clearly, Randy Marsh does not make anyone proud. While Randy proves to be the pathetic bigot idiot in this display of irony, I think the camera man's grimace of disbelief before Randy anxiously solved the puzzle proves that Randy wasn't the only one surprised with the Wheel of Fortune production team. However, no one could have expected Randy Marsh to exclaim his solution to the puzzle with such fervor. He appeared excited and jumped for joy saying "niggers" in his hopes to wine $30,000. Everyone watching in the audience and at home was still and silent, with only a few blinks as a sign that they were even alive. The biggest irony was when Vanna White turned the letter over and it was a "A." The solution to the puzzle, "naggers," is a direct and simple definition of the clue, "people who annoy you." In fact, the solution is just as bland as the typical clues given to most contestants. The significant factors at play include Pat Sajak's time pressure, Randy's eagerness, and sheer disbelief of every other character. Nonetheless, this clip doesn't stray far from Stan's consistent belief that his parents are stupid; his father is an idiot. His mother is ashamed of his father. Likewise, Cartman is stoked by the public display of idiocy.
