These kids have a rocky relationship with the boys - though generally happy to eat lunch with them and talk to them, they still act as rivals when it comes to big fads and games like ninjas. [[Craig Tucker]] hates Cartman, Stan, and Kyle, and usually teams up with his best friends [[Token Black]], [[Clyde Donovan]] and [[Jimmy Valmer]] to try to one-up and humiliate the boys however possible. Despite this, whenever a common enemy arises against the boys of [[Herbert Garrison]]'s class, the two groups are happy to unite against the foe, and continue to eat lunch together civilly. During the metrosexual fad, [[Tweek Tweak]] and [[Jason]] were also part of the group.

Myths & Legends[edit]

Membership[edit]

For a decade, fans portrayed the group as consisting of Craig, Clyde, Tolkien and Tweek, but this set of characters had only appeared together in one episode - "How To Eat With Your Butt" - before the group was officially known. Tweek had appeared alongside the group with Jason in "South Park Is Gay", and Clyde and Jimmy are not seen with them. From "Good Times With Weapons" on, the focus was shifted to Clyde and Jimmy, who interacted with Craig far more often, with Jason and Tweek being removed entirely. During this time, the specific lineup containing both Clyde and Tweek had never appeared in the show officially.

After "Tweek x Craig" aired during the nineteenth season, Craig and Tweek began a romantic relationship and were depicted almost exclusively as a couple, rather than as part of his circle of friends. The group did appear alongside the boys, without Tweek, in "Skank Hunt". Jimmy and Tolkien often appear alongside the main boys, while Clyde has been sidelined, though the three appear together planning to trick-or-treat with Butters Stotch in "The Scoots".

In season 22's "The Problem With a Poo", however, the fan favorite lineup finally appeared on the show, with Craig, Clyde, Tolkien and Tweek being seen shopping and eating together.

To date, Jason has not reappeared as a member of the group since their debut appearance.

Agent Tucker[edit]

In the season 7 episode "Lil' Crime Stoppers", the main boys play detectives while a rival group of children lead by an Agent Tucker, voiced by Matt Stone, play FBI and try to overrule them repeatedly. The boys to complain these other children can only play better games because they are rich and can afford "better toys".
