What Are The Best Episodes Of South Park: Tweek And Craig?

Question

South Park fans, which specific episodes highlight the romantic tension or cute moments between Tweek Tweak and Craig Tucker's relationship arc?

Mandi Hartman · Answer

The arc of Sennen Sunny and the pointed pairing development of The Poor Kid (S15E14) and Tweek x Craig (S20E6) would be most relevant to follow. The stories of two children from vastly opposite backgrounds finding stability in each other often provide a rich backdrop of opposites forced together. This reminds me a great deal of Ruin me, Stepbrother where two people from a very fractured family try to make their way through a very turbulent and most antagonistic situation, yet at the same time, develop an odd and unlikely alliance. Much of the conflict and tension in the story stems from the push-and-pull of hostile dislike and awkward closeness.

For a more in-depth view of a fan such as myself, I recommend watching the ‘Tweek x Craig’ episode, and the majority of the Season 19 episodes that surrounded it. In this episode, the typical way that viewers view shipping is turned “upside down.” It is treated as a cultural phenomenon, and then the regular characters are brought in to be human in the middle of all of it. I find that the writer did a fantastic job of juggling satire of fandom and honoring the regular characters in the process. Specifically, Tweek’s anxiety and Craig’s hilariously deadpan reactions to it were both hilarious and earned.

If you like thematic episodes, you should check out the Season 19 premiere, “Stunning and Brave”, which was where the show decided to go with the whole school trying to be “woke” and all, and had a few relationships as part of the satire. After watching that, the jokes in “Tweek x Craig” feel like pay off for all the previous sets-up for a humorous take on how social trends are perceived by media and how small towns respond to change. It’s also worth watching for the many occasions where Tweek and Craig have short non-episodic interactions, many of which are comedic in a subtle, grow on you after re-watching for a few episodes sort of way. Those interactions really add to the humor in the central episode.

Tweek x Craig. This is the main event and where the most attention to the pairing is given along with the funniest jokes. The rest of the Season 19 episodes can be skimmed to get a better understanding of the setup. But the way the school and town react to the news of Tweek and Craig is half the joke of the main episode. And finally, I just have to mention the fandom surrounding Tweek and Craig both in show and out. So much amazing art, amazing edits, and even a few amazing fan songs all spawned by the satire of this show. Watch Tweek x Craig this weekend. Then go watch a few clips online and see how funny some of the moments are on repeat.

This episode has Tweek and Craig in the Tweek-and-Craig feels that everyone wants them to be in. “Tweek x Craig” is a great episode to find out what kind of fan Tweek and Craig are. The kids are so entertained by the two of them as if they are a ship and they make fun of how they treat them. Then, the rest of the adult population reacts in the typical “we don’t understand you, just be quiet” manner. But it’s all done in the funniest way possible, and there’s even a super melodramatic musical/anime-style series of shorts where Tweek and Craig are the stars. They’re so good that I watch these over and over again while I’m making my ramen, and it always makes me smile for some reason. Maybe it’s because Trey and Matt deliberately made that episode, or maybe it’s because it’s just so damn great. Either way, “Tweek x Craig” is a super entertaining episode and I recommend watching it late at night with some food and someone who knows who Tweek and Craig are. The episode is great and funny, and afterwards, you can talk about all the wondrous strange points that they touched upon and comment on in terms of fan culture.

Other episodes from Season 19 are also pretty great to watch around ‘Tweek x Craig’ to really understand the context of PC Principal and how the school can react to non-traditional pairs. There are a few scenes in particular that really show off the chemistry and awkward-ness between Tweek and Craig, and really they prove that there is so much more to ‘Tweek x Craig’ than just fan service. All of the episodes that comment on fan culture and shipping and identity in general are really fun to watch, and a great way to look at the show in a very short study. I usually end up watching these episodes super late at night with some sort of snack and then discussing it with someone who is familiar with the characters and can really get into the scene.

Has anyone else developed a sense for how good modern South Park is based on whether or not there are any Tweek and Craig background shots in the new episode? I find that if they are in there at all, the writers are really treating the character-driven, continuity-rich style of the show’s best later episodes with respect. If Tweek and Craig are gone for too long, the new episode starts to feel kinda hollow and like just another topical, current event-themed cartoon. I use Tweek and Craig as a sort of test case for whether or not a given South Park episode is treating the world of South Park with the respect of knowing that there are real people living in this town, even if they’re just comic characters, and that their presence and goings-on are being noticed by the other kids. Thus, their “best” episode is one that remembers that they’re there and gives ‘em a shout out or two. It’s a nice measure of whether or not the people who are making the new South Park still care about the town and its characters.

I compare them to other famous cartoon couples. There’s Helga and Arnold from ‘Hey Arnold!’ who spent years secretly longing for each other. And then there’s Bender and Amy from ‘Futurama’, constantly breaking up and getting back together in the most unstable relationship ever. Cartman and Craig on the other hand are just two kids who fought all the time and then, under pressure from their classmates, decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend. They work. It’s sweet. There was no grand romantic declaration. Instead the two kids came to a mutual agreement that solved a problem, and in doing so solved a deeper need in both of them. The “modern” way to look at love is to recognize that romance isn’t magic. Instead, the best romance is finding someone whose weirdness complements your own. This is how the best “South Park” episodes are. Craig’s marriage proposal to Cartman wasn’t some sappy “I love you”. Instead he simply asked “Want to be my boyfriend? Yes or no.” Very direct. Very honest. Very Craig.

That pairing makes some of the funniest and cutest moments of the show. For purely Tweek x Craig content, the best episode would be the "Tweek x Craig" episode itself (Season 19, Episode 6). It’s a great episode where the show makes fun of the shipping and yaoi fanbase while still managing to make the relationship between Tweek and Craig seem legitimate and real. Their ‘fake’ relationship turns real, and they have to deal with the whole town of Starhurst obsessing over them. My favorite scene with them in that episode is when Craig calmly tries to comfort a twitching Tweek. The scene is so funny and endearing at the same time. The rest of the episode is also so witty and full of satire, but it’s still a very sweet and real love story. For just pure Tweek x Craig content, the best episode would probably be "Cripple Fight" (Season 5, Episode 3). This is where their famous elementary school fight takes place, and it’s so much fun to watch. I also love their character dynamics. Tweek is so full of energy, and Craig is so calm and straight-faced, which makes for a really great pair. The writers have used them well in many other episodes too.

A 5-minute short featuring Craig and Tweek in mundane situations could make for a very funny short. The two are constantly in different situations: Craig playing video games while Tweek is trying to meditate in order to clear his mind of paranoia-induced conspiracy theories. Afterward, Craig silently hands Tweek a juice box and the two of them continue to do whatever it is they're doing to pass the time. This would make for a very funny short. I'd watch a whole series of this. The odd couple of South Park, in unlikely silence and support of each other as they go about their daily routine. Overly-tilting, over-sensitive Tweek and utterly-under-tilting Craig make for a dynamic comic duo. Classic. I can see the "South Park" digital shorts or the "Post Covid" specials being the perfect vehicle for a short featuring these two oddballs in a random, sometimes-sequenced series of vignettes. So, Paramount executives currently-lurking in the shadows: Give the people what they want. More Tweek and Craig. In almost any context.

Butters’, the lovestruck and slightly naive, attempt to ship them in a way that is sort of innocent and nice, the ever-sarcastic Cartman’s cynical comments that suggest he is maybe, just a little, jealous of all of the attention that Tweek and Craig are receiving, and the baffled acceptance of the boys’ parents all serve to highlight the humor in the situation. The episode “Tweek x Craig” is perhaps the most humorous, in that everyone in town is convinced that the two fourth-graders are engaged in a dramatic yaoi story. The ways in which Stan and Kyle attempt to be supportive of the two boys are endearingly awkward. Jimmy’s news specials, here, serve to highlight the ways in which the media can blow something so very out of proportion in order to drive up ratings. And the humor in all of this, again, does not come at the expense of the feelings of Tweek and Craig. Rather, it comes at the expense of the overinvested feelings of everyone else. The two boys are sort of the straight men in their own love story, which is very funny. And the contrast between their straight-faced, serious moments and the hilarious going-on’s of those around them serves to make their heartfelt moments all the more powerful and believable.
