Richard Tweak

Richard and Cindy Tweak are Tweek's parents. The make their first apperance in the episode "Gnomes"

Richard Tweak's appearance
Richard wears a burgundy-red sweater, and grayish-blue jeans. His hair is short, curly, and dark brown. He has a rather long, pointed nose, which suggests Semitic ancestry.

He talks calmly which is completely opposite of jittery Tweek. He often gets lost in his own little-world where he repeats cliche, metaphors about how good something is.

Cindy Tweak's appearance
Mrs. Tweak wears an ankle-length turquoise dress with a white apron. Her hair is shoulder-length, straight, and light brown. She also talks camly. However, she is more rational than her husband.

Family
They have a son, whom they have named after the family name. Unlike either of his parents, Tweek has sunny blond hair. This could mean that he is a throwback to an older ancestor.

Richard has been shown to have a strong male-bonding with his son. Whenever Tweek is spazzing out over something, Richard will try his best to calm him down, by giving him coffee. Both parents seem unaware of the fact that caffeine is what causes Tweek's paranoia and hyperactivity in the first place. His mother, for instance, is convinced that he suffers from ADD. Richard apparently pays for therapy for his son, though it doesn't seem to have worked much.

History
In their first apperance episode, "Gnomes", it is revealed that Richard and Cindy Tweak are the joint owners of "Tweak's Coffee" a family owned coffee shop, which makes puitrid tasting coffee drinks. However, the shop manages to stay open, primarily due to the fact that they are the only coffee shop in town. However, when Harbucks (a parody of Starbucks) plans to open a shop in South Park, the Tweaks grow concerned that they'll be run out of buinesss.

Upon discovering that their son Tweek and the Boys need to write a current event report in front of the Town Council (in order to prove to them that Mr. Garison is a competent teacher), Mr. Tweak decides to use the boys to push his agenda regarding Hardbucks. He proceeds to write a long-winded paper about how big buiness is destroying small family-owned buisness. The speech works, causing the town to turn against Hardbucks and try to push through a legal proposition to outlaw Hardbucks.

While Richard is thrilled at having used the kids to push his beliefs, Cindy is disgusted by his husband's behavior, wanting nothing more to do with it. When the boys later discover from the Underpants Gnomes that big corporations are good, Cindy then joins the boys and explains to the town that Hardbucks got to where it was by being the best. Richard, realizing she is right, makes ammends with the owner of Hardbucks, who asks him to run the South Park branch.

When they next appear in"Tweek vs. Craig", Richard tells Tweek that when he was in high school, all the young men were after Mrs. Tweak. But she only had eyes for Richard. One day, a football player who went by the name "Quib" wanted her, and he challenged Richard to a fight. Richard doesn't say what happened after that, other than that Quib moved away.

Their next major apperance was in South Park is Gay!, in which the men and boys of South Park begin obsessing over the new Metrosexuality fad caused by Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. At first Cindy and the rest of the wives love the new versions of their husbands and sons, but soon realize that its not as good as they initially though. When the men and boys become too wimpy and shallow, the wives realize that they prefered their husbands been strong men. The wives then proceed to go to New York, where they then kill the Queer Eye guys, who are revealed to be Crab People.
