[edit] Behavior

Craig has bad behaviour and is usually seen outside Mr. Mackey's office. In "Rainforest Schmainforest", he is seen in Mr. Mackey's office. In this episode, Mr. Mackey scolds him for always being in his office. He also tends to flip people off. Craig, however, constantly denies having done it, even a mere second afterwards; it is unclear if he doesn't realize he does it (which may imply that he has Tourette syndrome or a similar disorder) or that he is a pathological liar.

In "Tweek vs. Craig" the boys were in shop class and Cartman, Stan and Kyle were in dissagrement over who was the worst behaved. Cartman (and Kenny to a lesser extent) thought it was Craig while Stan and Kyle thought it was Tweek. They decided to have a boxing match.

Craig and Tweek didn't want to fight each other so Stan, Kyle and Cartman made up fake insults that they said the other person had said. This made them angry and they decided to fight. However, neither one of them knew how to fight.

After training the fight began. Tweek and Craig were equally matched and in the end they were hospitalised. They then made up a fake insult while they were in hospital which convinced the boys to start fighting again.

[edit] Later Appearances

Craig is now a much more prominent character. He auditioned to be the new "Kenny" after Butters failed in "Professor Chaos."

In recent seasons he has been shown to have a group of friends including Token Black, Clyde Donovan and others, usually referred to collectively as "Craig and those guys;" Craig seems to be their leader. The main South Park characters seem to view them as rivals. Craig seems to be particularly antagonistic towards them, as in "Quest for Ratings" where he (apparently alone) opened a rival show on the school news channel. Craig has also stated that he hates Cartman, though this may just be a coincidence, as even the majority of his close friends hate him too.
