'''"Grampa" Marvin Marsh''' is a fictional character in the animated series [[South Park]]. He is [[Stan Marsh]]'s grandfather who wants to die and is voiced by [[Trey Parker]], who also provides the voices for both [[Randy and Sharon Marsh|his presumed son Randy]] and [[Stan Marsh|his grandson Stan]]. Grampa is 102, as stated in the episode [[Death (South Park episode)|Death]], which means that would have been quite old to have conceived Randy. This massive age difference has yet to be explained. |
|||
In the episode [[Grey Dawn]], Marvin Marsh revealed that he worked 55 years in a [[steel mill]]. In [[World War II]], he flew a [[Supermarine Spitfire|Spitfire]] over Germany, probably a reference to one of the four groups of [[United States Army Air Forces]] stationed in England and the Mediterranean equipped with the [[Supermarine Spitfire]], a British single-seat fighter. |
|||
==Family== |
|||
He has been referred to as Stan's grandfather on his mother's side and on his father's side. In more recent episodes, however, he is implied to be Randy's father. He also has the same last name as Randy. This is backed up in [[Fantastic Easter Special]], where Randy says his family has been in a society which guards a secret about [[Easter]] for years, and Grampa is shown to be a member. While in [[Grey Dawn]], he is called "Dad" by Randy, in the episode [[Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes]], Sheila Broflovski asks Sharon Marsh "Sharon, isn't that '''your''' father?", to which Sharon says yes. |
|||
He typically gets Stan's name wrong, often calling him "Billy," as his grandfather called him. |
|||
==Episodes in which he is prominent== |
|||
===[[Death]]=== |
|||
In his first appearance Grampa Marsh desperately wants to die because he is bored with life. After his own failed attempt at suicide, he turns to Stan (whom he refers to as "Billy") to do the job for him. Stan approaches various people for advice on the matter but all are unwilling to answer. When Grampa Marsh eventually does convince Stan to kill him, Death's sudden appearance foils the plan (although Death was actually looking for Kenny). Death points into the light where Grampa Marsh's own grandfather (who refers to Marvin as "Billy"), whom he had killed when he was a boy, convinces him to wait for natural causes. |
|||
===[[Grey Dawn]]=== |
|||
In the season seven episode "[[Grey Dawn]]", South Park's elderly residents are angered when their driving licenses are taken away after their bad driving kills a number of people. He started a movement to let the elderly keep their licenses, but it ultimately failed. He was later caught driving without his license (which had been taken away) and he was arrested. However, he was soon rescued by the [[AARP]], whom he teams up with to start randomly killing anyone in sight. After a brief period of complete control of South Park, and plans to overtake the entire country, his group is thwarted when the four main South Park boys lock them out of the Country Kitchen Buffet (their only source of food). The group eventually surrenders, and life returns to normal. |
|||

|||
*[[The Red Badge of Gayness]]- The narrator to the crowd at the Civil War reenactment; leads the group in its attempt to stop the Southern reenactors from taking over the country. Also says "You bastards!" when Kenny dies, instead of Kyle. |
|||
