* KarmaHoudini: He rarely, if ever, gets punished for his actions.
** LaserGuidedKarma: In ''Big Nate Strikes Again'' he does get punishment for his actions constantly. First Nate tricks him into opening Nate's locker (which is stuffed with trash) covering Randy with garbage which the principal then forces ''him'' to clean up due to thinking that it was his messy locker. Then Randy accidentally gets a bloody (or even broken) nose by running into a table Nate was moving while he'd been running away with something he stole from Chad, and when Randy tries to claim Nate broke his nose on purpose he gets called out as a liar by a teacher who saw the whole thing and is given a detention slip. And finally, he loses the fleeceball championship to Nate's team (despite some nasty cheating) due to ''Gina'' hitting the final home run, which couldn't have done much for his ego.

* PetTheDog: [[https://www.gocomics.com/bignate/2023/11/03 One series of Halloween strips]] had him help Nate get his candy back from a pair of bullies, no strings attached. The worst he does is threaten Nate after the latter calls him out for a hypocritical remark, but other than that, it's a surprisingly whole-hearted moment.

* EvilCounterpart: He can be viewed as one for Nate. They're both trickster-like characters, but Randy has less scruples and thus his actions are more mean-spirited and petty. He also doesn't have much consideration for others while Nate cares for his friends and knows his limits. They also both come from differing homes (Nate lives with his dad and sister while Randy alternates between his parents). Furthermore, while Nate gets his comeuppance, Randy usually doesn't get his. As such, it's unsurprising that the two would come to butt heads a lot, usually by Nate calling out Randy.
