    I love how he has such an “idgaf” attitude, but instead of it making him the stoic bad-boy type, he’s actually a little dorky kid who loves his guinea pig and just wants to watch his favorite show. Definitely one of my favorite characters!

    honestly craig has to be my favorite character, along with butters, mostly because i'm autistic and they both remind me of myself

    I appreciate your praise for Craig’s character in the pandemic 1 and 2 episodes, because those episodes are literally what I use to justify my opinion on Craig. I’m also sad his sarcastic side isn’t used that much, it’s the best part of his character in my opinion.
    Also happy 1k subs!!

      There is an important lesson he learned though: we don't always have control of what happens to us. Sometimes it is the boys coming up with ideas that end up going wrong. Sometimes it's the fact that they live in a crazy and hellish town where the unexpected is always expected from us.

    Also how dare you call a guinea pig a hamster. Also a want some more Craig and those guys vs the main crew episodes. They are some of my favorites

  • @littlemaki4247
    @littlemaki4247 Год назад +49

    For me, Craig is one of the most autistic coded characters I've seen in a show ever, and thats partly because he really reminds me of my brother. His way of existing (especially how he deadpans) along with his monotone voice makes me believe he falls on the autism spectrum, and that would also explain a lot of things he does, at least for me

  • @addyahoney
    @addyahoney Год назад +133

    you should do a video like this on wendy! i think she's really underrated dispite how many appearances she's had and her up and down relationship with stan would fit well into this format :)

    • @KrazeElk
      @KrazeElk  Год назад +28

      I agree. Wendy is high on my list for sure. I imagine I’ll do one on her in the near future/in the coming months

  • @spencerreid2086
    @spencerreid2086 Год назад +80

    Craig's my favourite out of the side characters his relationship with Tweek is so sweet and he's also an autistic head cannon for me.

  • @xenobio7402
    @xenobio7402 Год назад +101

    craig is one of my favorites. he gives me the same energy as my gf, stoic sarcastic and autistic asf. my favorite moment is craig wanting to do tomas's laundry (le petite tourettes).

    • @KrazeElk
      @KrazeElk  Год назад +16

      I love that episode also. I wanted to cover that one but I didn’t really know where to fit it in to my analysis

  • @grimmus5505
    @grimmus5505 Год назад +56

    i absolutely love how craig is so much more expressive in post covid than what he is in the current timeline, id love for a future south park episode to start exploring him expressing more emotion than just anger and passivity

    • @member-berry-bonbons1124
      @member-berry-bonbons1124 4 месяца назад +1

      Isn't that kind of what happens to him once he becomes Tweek's bf? We get to see a more mature and happier side of him. We get to Craig and Tweek, the two characters who almost never smile, smile. :)

  • @Vespyr_

    His sarcasm should really be a main character trait it's hilarious.

  • @HavysHibiscusTea

    (And the autism that we share 🗣)

  • @Xx_Elena_xX
    @Xx_Elena_xX Год назад +14

    "Its not a Hamster! Its a guinea pig." -Probably Craig

  • @Georgeimer
    @Georgeimer Год назад +33

    Watching Craig’s bleakness in speech and realistic approach is weirdly therapeutic, I have autism and share similar characteristics to him. I sometimes forget that I need to use my tone in speech, I can be overly aggressive when I don’t mean to be and I offend others when I really don’t mean to. It’s caused me to get sent out of class a lot when I was in school and having frequent arguments with friends and all that did was frustrate me followed by being labelled as an asshole. This isn’t a vent in any way, it’s just a way of me saying that I reflect on this whenever Craig is on screen and from the few episodes I’ve seen, his character is weirdly special to me and I can imagine a lot of others relating to what I’ve said as well

    I really love your videos! It's great to see more detailed analysis of the characters, and you not shying away from calling them out sometimes.
    About Craig, I also wish his sarcastic side was shown more in the show. It is, however, shown again in the game fractured but whole, where he makes a lot of sarcastic comments during fights (he's lowkey mean to tweek), and really shines during the storyline in mephestos lab.
    One thing I wish more people pointed out about craig and tweeks relationship is that it isn't perfect, and in more recent stuff tweek is shown to be very attached and needy, and craig can be cold towards him. Sometimes it even feels like he forgot about everything he learned in put it down.

    I love Craig, I find him relatable because I get defensive over my guinea pig as well! Craig is honestly relatable to me and I share similar interests. I'm a mix of Craig, Wendy and Nichole, depending on how i feel lmao. Though I like everyone else, except for Butters and Pip, I have no idea why.

    Honestly, Craig's hat reminds me of Stan's knit cap because Stan's knit cap is also blue even though it obviously has some red in it but Craig's hat also reminds me of Cartman's knit cap because unlike Stan's hat's pom-pom being red, like Cartman's pom-pom, not only is Craig's pom-pom yellow like Cartman's, but it's also flat slash pressed-down-looking.

    Great video :DD

  • @gabriellacomito5918
    @gabriellacomito5918 9 дней назад

    I truly believe that Craig isn't emotionless, he's just emotionally repressed - he's repressive towards his emotions, and this is seen highlighted in the episode "Put It Down".

    this is a really good analysis !!! i'm really happy to see someone actually disect the characters of south park who aren't the main 4 or their parents,, because they are fascinating in their own right,, especially "background" characters who tend to develop in a wide spread timeline of their few screen appearances like craig,, i hope to see one of these about my favorite character,, :O) this is awesome !!!

    -15:01
    there’s probably a bit more episodes that kinda show clips of Craig and his mom’s relationship but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.
    I looked up the episode timestamps on HBO-max on my phone so if the timestamps aren’t great I’m sorry but essentially within those episodes you can see, Craig mainly “runs” to his mother.
    /edit -o and I might be nitpicking, BUT in the Tweek vs Craig episode in the scene when Craig and his family are eating dinner and Craig starts talking about the fight he’s going to get into Craig’s Dad just brushes him off but his Mother jumps to defend him so if that counts?!

  • @SydneyTamar2003
    @SydneyTamar2003 Год назад +19

    Craig was the only one that was straight up with the main characters in the later seasons would tell them about themselves, bu they saw him as the dick😂. My favorite part of the earlier season was when he and his family where just talking crap about each other and flipping each other off at the dinner table 😂

  • @gabriellacomito5918
    @gabriellacomito5918 3 месяца назад

    Another reason why Craig and Clyde are polar opposites (besides personalities): Craig is (even though almost all kid South Park characters are portrayed "always" wearing hats, mostly the boys😉), Craig is one of those juvenile characters who's always shown wearing a hat while Clyde is one of them always animated without wearing one. Even though Heidi Turner is *technically* one of the hat South Park kid-characters, as a backgrounder she's almost always portrayed not wearing a hat, but when she's in character mode and she's talking she's always wearing her signature hat.

Well, I've never heard it in "the real world", as in otherside the schools I've been to and from my parents, same as "breakfast is called break-fast because you're breaking the fast" (aka a long period of time without eating), but with Craig, I feel like he'd say that and really live up to it. "I will kill you, and that's not a threat, it's a promise.". Like, honestly! 🤩😘

    I feel like Cartman has a like-hate relationship with Craig because Craig reminds him of himself. Craig, like Cartman, is tough and is dark-minded. Cartman likes this especially since Cartman is a narcissist and usually people like people they have things in common with, with also that "opposites attract [like magnets]" philosophy about humans, kinda like mostly in the way how they're similar that they're rivals and usually try to one-up each other like in the episode "South Park Is Gay!", and you can obviously see Cartman's side of liking Craig in the episode "Tweek vs. Craig", obviously seeing Craig's potential as a fighter while also admiring his tough and stoic demeanor. His aloof, cynical, and nihilistic persona and/or personality.

  • @GabriellaGraceComito

    Craig's personality is stoic, cynical, and nihilistic, not unlike the personalities of the South-Park-town foursome known as "the Goth Kids".
