Here's a six-episode arc for a South Park 2024 season satirizing the presidential election, with Randy Marsh and the rest of the Marsh family playing key roles.
Episode 1: "Mayor Marsh"
Plot: Randy Marsh decides to run for mayor of South Park, claiming that "South Park is going downhill" and only he can save it. He starts imitating Donald Trump's mannerisms, delivering outlandish speeches about "making South Park great again."
Satire: Randy's campaign is a clear parody of Trump’s 2024 campaign. He thrives on chaos, making absurd promises to "clean up" South Park, much to the dismay of his family, especially Sharon.
Sharon's Role: Sharon Marsh grows increasingly frustrated with Randy's antics. She begins to parody Kamala Harris, giving earnest, but cringe-worthy motivational speeches that fall flat. She tries to be the moral compass but ends up making things worse with her tone-deaf, out-of-touch responses.
Episode 2: "Mayor McDaniels Loses It"
Plot: Current Mayor McDaniels, a stand-in for Joe Biden, has become completely senile. She starts making bizarre speeches and hallucinating. Her aides scramble to cover for her, but South Park descends into chaos as no one knows what she’s saying.
Satire: This episode mocks the criticism surrounding Biden’s cognitive health. The satire is over the top, portraying McDaniels as so far gone that she thinks she's living in a completely different decade. Her aides, like the Democrats handling Biden, keep insisting she's fine.
Randy’s Gain: Randy capitalizes on McDaniels’ incompetence, portraying himself as the "only person who can bring sanity back to South Park."
Episode 3: "Randy’s Wall"
Plot: Randy promises to "build a wall" around South Park to keep out neighboring towns and protect its "values." The townspeople are split, with some supporting Randy's increasingly Trump-like rhetoric and others opposing it.
Subplot: In Springfield, USA, home to The Simpsons, pets are mysteriously disappearing, and it’s revealed that a group of Haitian immigrants has been eating them due to economic hardships. Cartman and Butters decide to investigate.
Satire: Randy's wall is a clear nod to Trump’s border wall, and the Springfield subplot pokes fun at the media's tendency to sensationalize stories and the public's often exaggerated responses to local crises.
Episode 4: "Sharon's Debate"
Plot: Sharon, channeling Kamala Harris, challenges Randy in a mayoral debate. Her speeches are filled with awkward laughter and attempts to appear relatable, but she keeps losing ground as Randy’s chaotic energy wins over the crowd. She even tries, and fails, to appeal to female voters with cringe-inducing pandering.
Satire: Sharon’s struggle to balance being a "serious" candidate while also playing the identity politics card is a clear send-up of Harris' challenges in the 2024 race. Meanwhile, Randy revels in the absurdity of the election process.
Subplot: Cartman and Butters attempt to "save" Springfield from the Haitians in a misguided mission, but Bart and Lisa Simpson believe these are just misguided rumors and don't need Cartman and Butters "help." Cartman and Butters' plans get more ridiculous as they try to outdo one another, escalating into a war between Springfield and South Park.
Episode 5: "Randy’s Rallies"
**Plot: Randy holds massive rallies where his speeches grow more and more popular. He promises free weed for everyone and claims that all of South Park’s problems are due to "outsiders." Sharon tries to fight back with seemingly logical policies, but she gets booed off the stage. Sharon's campaign workers decide it's time to fight back with a secret contingency plan they were saving for the last minute, that won't be revealed until the next episode.
Satire: Randy’s rallies are a parody of Trump’s campaign rallies. The episode takes a jab at the spectacle of modern political rallies and the cult of personality surrounding some politicians.
Springfield War: The town of Springfield, enraged by the "pet eating rumors" started by Cartman and Butters, declares a "war" on South Park. The conflict over Haitian immigrants and disappearing pets becomes a ridiculous metaphor for border tensions and xenophobia.
Episode 6: "Election Day"
Plot: It's Election Day, and the town is more divided than ever. Sharon reveals her secret about Randy Marsh: That he had drunk sex with an adult film star before they were married and paid her off to keep silent about it. This gets Randy arrested, but does little to deter voters however. Randy gives a ridiculous speech from his jail cell, and by the end of the night, wins in a landslide thanks to his bombastic style and absurd promises, while Sharon is left shaking her head. Mayor McDaniels, in a final act of senility, casts a vote for herself and gets confused when she doesn’t win.
Satire: This finale pokes fun at the idea of electing politicians based on charisma rather than substance. Randy’s victory mirrors Trump’s rise, while Sharon’s loss parodies the struggles of establishment candidates like Harris.
Final Subplot: The Springfield-South Park war ends when Randy, as the new mayor, declares that "everyone gets a free pet," forcing the Haitians to breed replacement pets for Springfield. The bizarre conflict ends with a ridiculous resolution, highlighting how easily modern crises can be blown out of proportion.
This arc combines South Park's irreverent humor with the chaos of the 2024 election, mocking the extremes of both major political candidates and wrapping it up in the town's signature absurdity.

RANDY
(ignoring her)
"This town’s going downhill fast, Sharon. Somebody’s gotta step up and do something."
STAN
(sarcastically, without looking up from his phone)
"Yeah, dad. Maybe you should run for mayor. Fix everything with your weed business."
RANDY
(perks up)
"That's not a bad idea, Stan. Maybe I should run for mayor!"
SHARON
(stern)
"Randy, you are not running for mayor."

RANDY
(passionate)
"Folks, let me tell you something. This town? It's a mess! Ever since I started Tegridy Farms, I’ve watched South Park fall apart. It’s like nobody cares about our way of life anymore. Well, I care! And that’s why I’m running for mayor!"
CROWD MEMBER 1
(confused)
"Wait, don't you already live outside of town?"
RANDY
(brushing it off)
"Details, details! What's important is that I have a vision. A vision to make South Park great again! More weed! Less crime! And maybe a wall. A big, beautiful wall to keep out… well, you know, outsiders!"

"Please, Sharon. I’ve handled much bigger things! Like that time I saved the internet. And the pandemic! I’m a man of the people!"
STAN
(sarcastic)
"Yeah, sure, dad. A real man of the people."
SHARON
(rolling her eyes)

CROWD MEMBER 2
(yelling)
"What exactly are you gonna do, Randy?"
RANDY
(booming voice)

"Dad, people are already upset. No one can get in or out of town without going through that giant mess."
RANDY
(dismissive)
"Stan, it’s all part of the plan. Once it’s finished, everything will be perfect. It’s about protection, son."
STAN
(fed up)
"Protection from what, Dad? You’re just making everything worse!"
SHARON
(shaking her head)
"He’s not going to listen, Stan. He’s too busy stroking his ego to realize this is insane."

(interrupting, confidently)
"Sharon, you’re thinking short-term. Once the wall is done, we’ll be self-sufficient. We won’t need outsiders bringing us anything."
SHARON
(fed up)
"Randy, people can’t even get to work! This wall is a disaster!"
RANDY
(stubborn)
"You don’t get it, Sharon. Once it’s finished, everyone will see the genius of it. They just need to be patient."

PROTESTER 5
(shouting)
"No one wants this anymore, Randy! You’ve ruined everything!"
(Randy looks around, realizing his support is crumbling, but he refuses to back down.)
END SCENE
(The chaos in both South Park and Springfield continues to escalate as Randy’s wall nears completion, and Cartman’s “investigation” gets more out of hand.)
END CREDITS
In this revised third episode, the focus is on the crumbling wall construction and the growing opposition to Randy’s Trump-inspired agenda, while the Springfield subplot introduces a deeper layer of social satire, showing how economic desperation leads to dire consequences. Cartman and Butters’ investigation builds towards a clash between Springfield and South Park, which will escalate in future episodes.

TV NEWS ANCHOR
(voice-over)
"And tonight’s mayoral debate between incumbent Mayor McDaniels, Randy Marsh, and Sharon Marsh is expected to draw record viewership as tensions over the South Park wall continue to rise."
STAN
(looking over at Sharon)
"Mom, are you really going through with this? Dad’s a total maniac right now."
SHARON
(sighing)
"Someone has to stop him, Stan. This wall... his whole mayoral campaign... it’s destroying the town. But I’m not sure I know how to beat him."
STAN
"Well, maybe you could start by not laughing awkwardly like you do every time someone asks you a hard question."
SHARON
(defensive)
"I don’t laugh like that!"
STAN
"Yeah, you do. Everyone’s talking about it."
(Sharon looks uncomfortable but tries to shrug it off.)

MODERATOR
"First question: What is your plan to resolve the growing issues surrounding the wall?"
RANDY
(jumping in before Sharon can speak)
"It’s simple. We finish the wall. We build it higher, stronger, and more tegridy than ever before. People who don’t want the wall just don’t understand the big picture."
SHARON
(struggling to respond without awkwardly laughing)
"Randy... th-this isn’t a joke! The wall is causing real problems for the town—"
RANDY
(mocking)
"Maybe you should laugh about it, Sharon. You know, like you do with all the serious issues."
(The crowd laughs, and Sharon looks flustered. She starts to speak, but Randy cuts her off again.)
RANDY
"Look, I’m the only candidate here who understands what South Park needs. My wall isn’t just a wall. It’s a symbol of our independence. It’s a symbol of our... Tegridy!"
SHARON
(fumbling)
"But it’s dividing the town! People are trapped. We need to—"
RANDY
(interrupting)
"People aren’t trapped. They’re just... protected! They should be thanking me!"
(The crowd is split between cheers from Randy’s supporters and boos from those opposed to the wall.)
CUT TO:
(INT. Cartman’s Basement - Night)
(Cartman and Butters are watching the debate on TV while working on their “investigation” into the Springfield pet disappearances.)
CARTMAN
(laughing)
"Dude, Randy’s crushing it! Sharon’s totally blowing it with that laugh!"
BUTTERS
(innocent)
"But shouldn’t we be rooting for Mrs. Marsh, Eric? She’s trying to fix the wall problem."
CARTMAN
(scoffing)
"Pff, screw the wall. We’re gonna be heroes when we save Springfield from those pet-eating Haitians!"
(They return to their conspiracy board, which is covered in strings and photos connecting Springfield to South Park. Cartman’s delusional plan to “save” Springfield is getting more ridiculous by the minute.)
CUT TO:
(INT. South Park Town Hall - Night)
(The debate continues. Sharon is trying to regain her composure, but Randy’s chaotic energy is winning over more of the crowd.)
MODERATOR
"Next question: How will you handle the economic fallout from the wall?"
SHARON
(nervously)
"We need to focus on unity... and bringing the town back together—"
(She laughs awkwardly mid-sentence, just as Stan predicted. The crowd groans.)
RANDY
(grinning)
"See? There it is again! You can’t take her seriously when she’s laughing every time she talks about serious stuff."
(The crowd laughs with Randy, and Sharon looks even more flustered.)
SHARON
(defensive)
"I’m not laughing! I—"
(Another nervous chuckle escapes her lips.)
RANDY
(leaning in)
"Face it, Sharon. You’re out of your depth. I’m the only one who knows how to lead this town."
(The camera cuts to Mayor McDaniels, who is slumped over her podium, clearly disoriented and mumbling nonsensically to herself.)
MAYOR MCDANIELS
(quietly)
"Cats... flying... where’s my pudding?"
(The crowd barely notices as she fades into the background of the debate.)
CUT TO:
(EXT. Springfield Streets - Night)
(Lisa and Bart are still trying to help the Haitian immigrants who have been forced to eat pets. They’re in a meeting with some community members, trying to figure out how to provide food and resources to the Haitian population.)
LISA SIMPSON
"We need to come together and help them. This isn’t their fault. They’re victims of a broken system."
BART SIMPSON
(grinning)
"Or we could just blame the aliens. Way more fun."
LISA SIMPSON
(sighing)
"Bart, this is serious."
CUT TO:
(INT. Cartman’s Basement - Night)
(Cartman is gearing up for a “raid” on Springfield. He’s got Butters dressed in military gear, looking terrified.)
CARTMAN
"Alright, Butters, it’s time. We’re gonna stop the Haitians from eating any more pets. We’re going down there tonight!"
BUTTERS
"Gee, Eric, I dunno... What if we’re wrong? What if they’re not the ones eating the pets?"
CARTMAN
(shaking his head)
"Butters, don’t be stupid. The evidence is right in front of us. Let’s go save Springfield!"
CUT TO:
(INT. South Park Town Hall - Night)
(The debate is wrapping up. Sharon has managed to get in a few coherent points, but Randy’s bombastic style and interruptions have dominated the evening.)
MODERATOR
"Final question: What do you believe South Park needs most from its next mayor?"
SHARON
(trying to speak from the heart)
"What South Park needs is... unity. We’re all part of the same town. We shouldn’t be building walls. We should be working together to fix the problems Randy’s created. We need real leadership that—"
(She chuckles awkwardly again, and the crowd groans.)
RANDY
(jumping in)
"What we need is Tegridy! And I’m the only one who’s got it. I’ve built something amazing with my wall, and when it’s finished, this town is gonna be the greatest town in the country!"
MAYOR MCDANIELS
(quietly)
"I want pudding... Where’s my pudding..."
(The moderator closes the debate as the audience erupts into a mixture of cheers and boos. Sharon looks defeated, while Randy pumps his fists in the air, basking in the attention.)
MODERATOR
"Thank you, everyone, for attending the South Park mayoral debate. We’ll see you at the polls!"
CUT TO:
(INT. Marsh Family Living Room - Night)
(Sharon walks into the living room, clearly exhausted from the debate. Stan is sitting on the couch, waiting for her.)
STAN
(supportively)
"Mom, you did fine. Dad was just being a jerk."
SHARON
(sighing)
"I don’t know if I can win, Stan. Randy’s turning this whole town against me, and I just keep... laughing."
(She laughs nervously again, but then sighs, frustrated with herself.)
STAN
"Maybe you just need to be yourself."
(Sharon looks thoughtful as she sits down next to Stan, contemplating her next move.)
CUT TO:
(INT. Cartman’s Basement - Night)
(Cartman and Butters are preparing to head out on their “mission” to Springfield. Cartman is clearly excited, while Butters looks terrified.)
CARTMAN
(grinning)
"Time to save Springfield, Butters! We’re gonna be heroes."
