random-core

The type of comedy you’re most likely to find on networks like AdultSwim, Viceland, IFC, and parts of Youtube. Often involves comedians/actors doing things stiffly, and/or, cringeworthy, in order to insight a laugh. It often makes little sense and feels completely random, though it’s extremely calculated and possibly has a message underneath (though sometimes it can literally mean nothing and they just find it funny).

Awkward silences, random outbursts, odd looking people, 80’s/90’s style video editing, bad hair, and wearing clothes that are tacky, too tight, or vintage inspired, are common traits randomcore comedians often display. Acting as though they are completely serious and never “breaking character,” is also common.

Those who utilize randomcore don’t care if something is gross or makes you uncomfortable, that’s the point of their comedy.

Interacting with other people who don’t realize the schtick is also often done in random-core. Getting people to react to something so off-putting is the ultimate goal.

Examples of comedians who utilize randomcore : Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, Eric Andre, Ethan and Hila Klein, aka H3H3, FilthyFrank, iDubbbzTV, Fred Armisen, etc.
Bob: Tim and Eric, and Eric Andre weird me out. It’s like the more random and awkward they are, the funnier their stuff is to some people.
Bill: Yeah, that’s because their style is random-core. The weirder, more stiff, and random it is, the better. It’s their schtick.

Radnor

a township in the suburbs of Philadelphia. The snottiest, fakest people you will ever meet live here. They are drunken and sloppy and think the world revolves around them. They hang out with only other Radnor kids or kids who go to private schools like Episcopal or other snotty public schools like Conestoga. It's the most overrated place on the planet.
I can't wait to get out of Radnor, all the kids here are little bitches.

rando

an unpredictable, awkward and often creepy individual. a rando is always there in the background, even though no one invited him. Randos tend to be isolated within large groups; they sit in corners and lurk in the shadows of others. Even though everyone is aware of the presence of a rando, no one knows anything about him or her and therefore randos are often unwittingly ignored.
Example 1)

Beno: Where the hell is Jordo?!? I've looked everywhere for him!
Michael: I saw him sleeping in a deserted room. There were no windows, beds or pictures. He was nuzzled in a corner where no one could see him. What a rando!

Example 2)

Tuck: Who's that creeper sitting by himself in the back of Night and Day Cafe at 2:30 in the morning, watching Walter and Perry on his iphone?
Ben: It's JV! What a rando!

Click on any of those words and you will most likely find some inane attempt at being funny by some 12-year-old crone.
