Randall "Randy" Carmichael (born c. 1985) is the father of Susie Carmichael and the husband of Lucy Carmichael and the brother of his nephews's mother. He is a high school science teacher, comic book and video game fanatic. He is considered a reccuring character in Nickelodeon's 2021 animated TV series Rugrats.

Description

Randy, affable and good- natured, is devoted to his job as a high school Science teacher, and equally devoted to his various sci-fi interests. Randy and Stu became instant friends over their love of the biggest movie of their era, "The Final Eclipse. Randy is also passionate about getting into character while playing "Goblets & Goblins," and he has an obsession with "Telescope Man" comic books. Randy is a big supporter of Stu's inventions, freely adding his opinion or offering to test out the product. Randy loves his wife and his daughter, Susie, and would love to have more children soon. <ref name="Second Time Around">In "Second Time Around," when he makes a joke regarding the periodic table, Lucy tells him to save the science jokes for the classroom. Unlike the original show, he is a lot less mature, being a "man-child" like Stu.

Looks

Randy is an African-American man with brown skin and dark hair. He has a full set of lips like other Black characters on the show and has a pair of white eyes with black pupils (as is the usual for the show's art style). Unlike his 1991 counterpart, he no longer has any facial hair due to being younger in the 2021 series.

Appearances

As of right now, Randy appears in a handful of episode in the 2021 series except for the following episodes:
