*South Park* character

Craig is a fictional character in the animated series South Park. He wears a blue hat with a yellow ball at the top. He is in the same class as Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick. He is voiced by Trey Parker and has a rather nasal voice like Clyde Donovan, a fellow classmate.

[edit] Behavior

Craig has bad behavior 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. One possibility is that he has Tourette syndrome, or he may be a pathological liar.

In "Tweek vs. Craig" the boys were in shop class and Cartman, Stan and Kyle were in disagreement 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

Tweek vs Craig

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 usually a fourth student from their class. Their group is usually referred to collectively as "Craig and those guys" and 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, South Park is Gay, and Good Times With Weapons. However in Free Willzyx he along with Clyde help the boys take Willzyx to the moon. 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.
