Craig Tucker

Craig Tucker is a member of the boys' fourth grade class. Craig's most distinguishing physical feature is his blue chullo hat topped with a yellow puffball. One of his traits is his tendency to flip people off, usually for no discernible reason. He leads the group known as Craig's Gang.

While eight years old in the first three seasons, he was nine years old by "Fourth Grade", and as of the Season Twelve episode "Pandemic 2: The Startling", he is ten years old, according to the candles on his birthday cake.

Appearance
Craig wears a blue jacket and a matching blue chullo hat with a yellow puffball on top. He wore yellow mittens in "How to Eat with Your Butt". In the early seasons of the series, he wore blue jeans, but in more recent seasons he wears high-waisted black pants. The fact that his legs are longer is clearly visible in "South Park is Gay!", where he and three other boys from his class wear identical clothes, because Craig's pants appear much longer than the others.

In "T.M.I.", it's listed that he has grown the most in height out of all the boys, along with Kenny and Kyle, all three gaining 2.4 inches. This implies he may be one of the tallest (if not, the tallest) boys in the class, especially since he appeared to be taller than the others even before his growth. One of the reasons he may be tall is that both his parents are shown to be the tallest adults in the town.

Craig's hair is usually shown to be black, although it appeared to be brown in "The Losing Edge" and South Park: The Stick of Truth. In "Good Times with Weapons" Craig's eyes are shown to be blue. It is revealed in "Tweek vs. Craig" that he is fairly thin. His nasal voice is similar to Clyde, but was originally higher in pitch. However, in later seasons (most noticeable since "Pandemic") his voice has been lowered to a similar pitch to Clyde.

A few times in the early seasons he is seen wearing a green hat in the background. This has been corrected in later airings. An example that is still see-able is in the episode "Fat Camp", look closely at the lunch line and you will see his hat turn green for a few seconds as the camera moves. A green-attired Craig can also be seen in "Ass Burgers", though some believe that this may be a different character entirely.

Personality
Craig seems to be one of the most cynical, stoic, deadpan kids from his class, having a darker personality than the rest of the characters, a trait exaggerated by his deeper-than-average voice. He has been described as pragmatic, monotone and ironic.

Craig is implied to have bad behavior, and is referred to as "the biggest trouble-maker" in his class by Eric Cartman in "Tweek vs. Craig". Craig has a habit of flipping people off, sometimes to express irritation, anger, or disdain towards them, sometimes as a reflex. This is a trait the official South Park website states is learned from his family, who are all seen flipping each other off in "Tweek vs. Craig". His habit of flipping people off has been shown much less in later episodes.

The last time where he is seen making the gesture, is "Fun with Veal", where he and his parents are filmed by a cameraman, who takes them an interview. His parents are worried and talk about a serious event that occurs in town, as Craig just remains blank-faced and flips off the people who watch them on TV.

Due to his bad behavior, he is frequently sent to Mr. Mackey's office. Scenes involving a character visiting Mr. Mackey's office will often show Craig sitting in the waiting seats outside the door. Craig's most notable interview with Mr. Mackey was in "Rainforest Shmainforest", where he flipped Mr. Mackey off several times and was sent to wait outside the office again.

In earlier episodes, Craig normally has a blank face - even when flipping people off. This is seen most predominantly in "Tweek vs. Craig" when he randomly flips off his entire family while remaining a completely straight face. If his face isn't blank, he is frowning for some reason or another, again implying his leanings towards depression. He appears to have mellowed out in recent episodes, and appears to smile more often.

Although all the kids are violent, to an extent, Craig is implied to be the most violent one (or second most violent, after Cartman) due to the fact that he is seen to be the primary leader in every bullying that occurs at school. He is also quite aggressive, because he enjoys tormenting other kids, this being one of the few reasons he smiles.

Craig is shown to be one of the most skilled fighters in the class, shown beating up Mark Cotswolds, attack Kyle when Kyle chooses not to dress metrosexually, attacks Kenny when Cartman frames him for having lice, and beats up several Ginger Kids after Cartman's speech. Contrarily, in "Tweek vs. Craig", he appears to have no idea how to fight at all and has to take lessons in sumo wrestling.

He wields a katana in "Good Times with Weapons" as well and in "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society", wherein he manages to knock both Token and Butters unconscious, before being knocked out by Stan, when he uses a bone as a club. Later, his negative traits are subdued, as he is inclined to remain passive and stoical to everything that happens around him, sign that he may be maturing up earlier than the other children.

During the "Pandemic" episodes, he constantly made annoyed remarks about Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny and their habit of getting into trouble - he even walks away from them when they want to go deeper into an Inca temple. However, at the end of the episode after he accidentally walked on the platform and stopped the "Guinea Pirate", he simply let out a deep sigh and accepted his fate. Craig never once registered shock or any emotion whatsoever during this - he always said things flatly and monotonously, even when he said "Okay. Now there's sparks shooting out of my eyes."

Craig has notable leadership skills, as he is the leader of a gang who are social rivals with Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny. The first appearance of the group is in "Tweek vs. Craig", and they are first acknowledged by the main characters in "How to Eat with Your Butt". The main characters are first shown viewing Craig's gang as rivals in "South Park is Gay!". Cartman frequently refers to the gang as "Craig and those guys". The group usually consists of Craig, Clyde, Token, and sometimes Tweek, Jimmy, or Jason. Craig and Clyde seem to share/alternate in leadership of their group, although, given their designation, Craig is the primary leader.

Another example of Craig's abilities in leadership occurs in "Hooked on Monkey Phonics", when he leads the male students in their plan to harm Mark Cotswolds. The episode also shows that his assertiveness can also lead to bullying.

Craig competes more with the main characters than even the rest of his gang (see below). In "Quest for Ratings", he opens a television show in the school entitled "Animals Close-Up With a Wide-Angle Lens", which rivals their news show. However, he seems quite eager to help them at other times, as in "Free Willzyx", where he is one of the boys trying to get the orca back to its "home" on the moon.

In the episode Pandemic, Stan and Kyle's parents decided that they did not want Craig to hang around with them, since they had gone missing shortly after joining the usual quartet. They deemed him a "troublemaker", although the Peruvian flute band was actually the others' idea, and Craig refused to join them until he was told, "don't be an asshole."

In the episode "Quest for Ratings", Craig started his own show and caused the main characters' news show to be canceled because he took all their "ratings" (hence the title). By the end of the episode, Craig wasn't just upset that "Sexy Action School News" got more ratings than his shows; the teacher instructed that Craig's testicles be removed (although this was never shown or referenced again).

In the episode "Tweek vs. Craig", it is shown that Cartman and Kenny think that Craig is the biggest trouble maker and make a bet that Craig could easily beat Tweek Tweak. Both ended up in the hospital. Despite trying to rest and give up fighting, both broke out again when Kyle said to Tweek, "...then Craig's family came on and said Tweek was the wuss, and then punched Tweek's mom in the hooters".

Craig also shows satisfaction when he competes again the main four boys, given the fact that he smiles cruelly or ironically, when he has advantages in their competitions. This can be seen in "Quest for Ratings" and "Good Times with Weapons".

Although, morally, Cartman is the most negatively twisted character in the show, Craig is also viewed and described by most fans as the typical 'bad boy', probably due to his infamous status of flipping people off and his inclination towards bullying, much more accentuated in his portrayal, than in the rest of the characters'.

Craig's Grandmother
Craig's grandmother, who appears in flashbacks in "Pandemic 2: The Startling", gave Craig $100 for his birthday. She is yet to have any speaking lines as she appears only in a still picture. She appears to be a very loving grandmother.

Parents Thomas and Mrs. Tucker
In "Here Comes the Neighborhood", as Token is walking around South Park, looking sorrowfully at the others, he walks past the Welfare office. Craig and his parents are shown stepping out of the office at the same time. While Token may have been exaggerating in his thoughts about how poor everyone else in town is, this might imply that Craig's parents are jobless, or that their jobs don't provide enough income for them to get by on it alone.

It is hinted in "My Future Self n' Me" that he does not have a good relationship with his parents when Cartman says that he helped Craig get revenge on his parents for an unknown reason. He also states in "Tweek vs. Craig" and "The Poor Kid" that he does not care if his mother is insulted. At the same time, his parents are shown to love him deeply, as they are each openly concerned when Craig is kidnapped in "Pandemic", and are delighted to have him back at the end of "Pandemic 2: The Startling".

Tucker Sibling
Little is known about his sister and some fans refer to her as Ruby. The relationship between her and Craig is difficult to find out. Ruby has apparently inherited the family trademark of flipping people off.

Stripe
Craig has a pet guinea pig named Stripe. Stripe has never made an onscreen appearance, and all that is known about him is that Craig does not like it when he is insulted. Knowing this, Cartman riles Craig up in "Tweek vs. Craig" by telling him that Tweek said Craig stuffs Stripe up his rectum before going to bed.

Tweek Tweak
In "Tweek vs. Craig", the main boys, on account of a bet they had made, claimed to Tweek and Craig that each had insulted the other, and convinced them to fight. When it turned out neither of them knew how to fight, they had them trained for it. Craig was trained by Cartman, in Sumo wrestling. After the fight, both boys were hospitalized, but the kids fooled them into fighting again. It is implied, however, that this fight brought the two boys closer together, as they are seen together on very many occurrences in later episodes.

In later seasons, Tweek and Craig can be seen standing side by side in various episodes including "Ginger Kids", where they are trapped in a cage together, and in "The Wacky Molestation Adventure", where they are on the same side of the town. There are very few assemblies in which Craig and Tweek are not sitting next to each other.

Token Black
Token has always been a member of Craig's Gang (even when Clyde isn't present) and the two are often seen next to each other. The two have only been seen talking to each other in "Jewpacabra" and "Raising the Bar." Token, however, is more connected to Clyde and Cartman somehow. It seems that Craig mostly hangs out with Token and Clyde.

Clyde Donovan
Clyde is a member of Craig's gang. Clyde sometimes leads the group which suggests that he and Craig share the spot of the leader, but the position has been confirmed to be Craig as the group is collectively named "Craig and those other guys". The two are sometimes seen standing beside each other in the background, which indicates that the two may be best friends. It seems that Craig mostly hangs out with Clyde.

Clyde and Craig are seen together in a number of episodes whether they were sitting next to each other or just talking to each other, including "Crack Baby Athletic Association", where they are seen working together for Cartman in looking for Slash, in "The Last of the Meheecans", where they are working/playing together again for Cartman by not letting any Mexican pass their border (which they unfortunately failed in doing), in Elementary School Musical, where they are sighted eating together side by side at the cafeteria, in "Breast Cancer Show Ever", where they are cheering and watching Cartman and Wendy's fight together, in "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society", where Clyde hugged Craig in reuniting their friendship once again, and in "Lice Capades", where Craig was the one who instructed Clyde to bring a bar of soap and a sock to beat Kenny up. Because of this, fans have sighted them as best friends like Stan and Kyle.

Their names are sometimes mixed up as shown in "Super Fun Time", and they have a nearly identical nasally voices.

Stan Marsh
However, Stan and Craig are somewhat both rivals in episode Pandemic, Pandemic 2: The Startling, and South Park is Gay! as they were both fighting because Craig was upset that they took his $100 dollars. In the episode South Park is Gay! they were both arguing that Craig was more gayer than Stan, Cartman and Kenny. Stan and Craig generally do not hang out. Furthermore, Stan's parents and Kyle's parents agreed on preventing their kids from associating with Craig because Craig was seen as a big trouble maker and has a bad influence on Stan and Kyle.

Kyle Broflovski
Although Craig and Kyle don't really hang out with each other, they can often be seen sitting at the same table for lunch. The two have ended up on opposite sides of the field many times, though - they argue (with Stan, Cartman and Kenny backing Kyle up) over the Peruvian pan flute band in "Pandemic" and "Pandemic 2: The Startling". In "South Park is Gay!", Craig leads the school in beating Kyle up for not being metrosexual, and in "Quest for Ratings" Craig's show was in direct competition with a show Kyle was involved in.

Kenny McCormick
Craig and Kenny seem to have formed a sort of friendship. Kenny helped Craig with his show in "Quest for Ratings" (although it was induced by Cartman saying that Kenny couldn't join the school news team due to his poverty), and the two were partners in "Super Fun Time". The two have also been seen sitting next to each other, example "The List", and standing near each other on several occasions, this may however just be coincidence. They are not otherwise shown as being close friends. In the episode "Lice Capades" he accuses Kenny of having lice. In "Pandemic 2: The Startling", Kenny is heard saying, "I fucking hate Craig!" at the end (this could have been because how Craig reacted to the situation in that episode and "Pandemic", or that Craig had just refused to fund another of their music bands).

Eric Cartman
Cartman appears to view Craig as a friend the same way he views Jimmy. Craig actually hates Cartman, but he has been seen with him as a right-hand man when Cartman assembles a group of boys for his cause, like in "Lice Capades" or "Marjorine". Craig is often the main rival of Cartman and the other boys, but sometimes has seemed to accept Stan, Kyle and Kenny in some episodes such as "The Death of Eric Cartman". Also, in the episode "Tsst", Cartman confronts Craig and asks him if he can stay at his place for a while; Craig refuses and blatantly says, "But I hate you". Sometimes this hatred isn't always against Cartman. In the episode "South Park is Gay!", Craig and his gang seem to be rivals with Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman. Craig is aware of Cartman's assertive, selfish, and manipulative nature, as well as the fact that Cartman will always get what he wants in one way or another. This is shown in "Fishsticks" where he argued to Jimmy that "You should consider yourself lucky that he (Cartman) is only asking for half." and "Just, give him half." In the episode "Crack Baby Athletic Association", Craig worked for Cartman's business with Clyde, Butters and later, Kyle.

Craig is seen to be close enough to Cartman to sleep over his house for a slumber party.

Jimmy Valmer
Jimmy has been Craig's friend on a few occasions and can be seen at times along with Craig's Gang. He has been seen hanging around Craig in the background for other episodes as well. In "Fishsticks", he claims he likes Jimmy and tries to reason with him in order to help him out. In "Ginger Kids", Jimmy is seen along with Clyde, Token and Craig bullying a ginger kid out of the school cafeteria. In "Good Times with Weapons", Jimmy rivals Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny as ninja's along with Craig, Clyde and Token. Quite often, they are seen sitting near each other in the canteen.

Jason
Jason has been in Craig's Gang on one occasion, but has not been seen with Craig since "South Park is Gay!".

Thomas
In "Le Petit Tourette", Craig meets Thomas at the end and asks if he can hang out with him and "do his laundry". However, it is unknown if the two are even friends as Thomas hasn't been seen since this episode and the two haven't been seen together on screen.

Annie Faulk
Craig and Annie could be seen walking together in a couple of episodes like the episode "Poor and Stupid". In the beginning of the episode, they were both walking together in the background when Cartman was seen crying. The two could also be seen walking in the background of South Park Elementary.

Red
Craig and Red were paired together in "Follow That Egg!".

Butters Stotch
Craig is shown as being unable to remember whether or not Butters was present at dinner in "The Last of the Meheecans", noting, "Butters is one of those people who you can never remember if he was there or not." In "Hooked on Monkey Phonics ", Craig and Butters are seen abusing Mark Cotswolds whilst in a hamster ball.

Reception
In his review on the South Park episode "Fishsticks", Sean O'Neal of the A.V. club refers to the character Craig as a "pragmatist", for advising Jimmy Valmer to let Eric Cartman have half the credit for the Fishsticks Joke. DC Perry of 411mania.com approved of Craig "letting the air out of the usual 'Crazy Crap Just Happens to Us' formula" used in most of the South Park storylines, throughout the episodes "Pandemic" and "Pandemic 2: The Startling". Perry was also pleased that the character "got to shine for more than random flip-offs" and "didn't even have to try". Travis Fickett of IGN.com described Craig's role as a supporting character in "Pandemic", as well as the character's expression of disdain for the main characters' habit of getting into "stupid schemes, without thinking twice about the possible ramifications", as being the few highlights of the episode, which he found mostly unentertaining.

Trivia

 * In "Quest for Ratings", when Craig's school program is canceled, the teacher orders him to be castrated. It is never specified whether this was actually carried out.
 * Craig likes a show called "Red Racer". This is most likely a play on the show "Speed Racer".

In "Pandemic 2", Craig says "Last week was my Birthday. My grandma gave me a check for a hundred dollars. I was soooooooo happy." Later on in that episode he says "...as for me, I was returned home by homeland security. My parents were soooooooo happy." This could be a minor catchphrase of his.
 * Craig is also a fan of Lord of the Rings as seen in the season 6 episode "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers", where he was taking the role as Boromir from the movie, when Cartman had said that the sixth graders can't stand water, Craig thought it was stupid and decided that he would go back to the Harry Potter kids instead to play with them (along with the kindergartner Filmore who was taking the role of Gimli the Dwarf).
 * Craig might have a cat, because his sister was holding one in "Major Boobage".
 * In the episode "Lil' Crime Stoppers", a one of several children playing FBI refers to himself as Agent Tucker.

South Park: The Stick of Truth
Craig appears in South Park: The Stick of Truth as a supporting character and later an antagonist. Craig first appears as a member of Kupa Keep, but is in detention. The player has to break him out so he can help retrieve the Stick of Truth. Afterwards Craig can be seen in various locations at Kupa Keep between missions. Craig joins other members of Kupa Keep in their infultration of the Inn of the Giggling Donkey. When the player is trapped in the basement, he comes to the rescue by helping to clear the elves and unlocks the door. He briefly becomes the vender at the Kupa Keep shop, commenting that Cartman gave him the spot because he sounds like Clyde.

Later on, Craig betrays the other kids and joins Clyde because Cartman "doesn't have authority anymore".

Once he is defeated, he does not reappear anymore during the game.
