Episode Summary

While the boys are in shop class, they decide to get Tweek and Craig to fight each other. Meanwhile, Kenny avoids the whole mess by taking Home Economics instead. The boys schedule the fight for after school, so that it isn't disrupted by the shop teacher (Mr. Adler), who is still mourning the tragic death of his former fiancee. Tweek and Craig, it turns out, do not know how to fight. The boys take Tweek and Craig under their wing to train them for the big fight.moreless

    The boys are taking shop class and they try to setup a fight between Tweek and Craig, but when the day of the big fight arrives, neither boy knows what to do. After they get some training they get down to business, meanwhile Kenny is enrolled in a Home Economics course and is having a good time and the shop teacher, Mr. Adler, has a recurring (live action) dream about a woman. Ok to start out, I thought just from the title, it would be unorgininal and unfunny but, it turned out to be really good and funny. Tagline: "How do I reisst an @$$ so great?"-Craigmoreless

    I rather liked this episode. The boys are forced to choose between going into Shop class or Home Ec. Not wanting to get made fun of, Cartman, Stan, and Kyle choose Shop class while Kenny (for obvious reasons) chooses Home Ec. Anyway, the Shop teacher asks the class who is the biggest trouble-maker so that he can watch out for them and the boys become split. Cartman says that Craig is the bigger trouble-maker, while Kyle and Stan say that Tweek is. This of course starts a fight between them and they make a bet to see who would win a fight and they eventually manipulate the boys to fight each other. As a "B" plot, the Shop teacher has random flashbacks of his love whom he lost in an airplane accident. This episode was pretty entertaining... not the best, but it has some classic moments in it. Like Craig and his family all flipping each other off at the dinner table, and Tweek learning how to box by fighting Ned. While it's not going to win any awards, it was worth the watch and yes, even a few revisits.moreless

    This is a good episode, it contains a funny cripple fight and a memory from Mr. Adler that repeats itse;f. I love this episode because Kenny McCormick works in the girl's room instead of in the boy's shop and that really made me chuckle a bit. Mr. Adler's memories are really funny and I think even if they are sad - they brighten up the atmosphere. Tweek Vs. Craig introduces some silly characters as well as some great ones. I think that even though the fight isn't incredible - the build-up is pretty good. ;D Funny episode, with good scenes.moreless

  • Cartman thinks that Craig is tough then Tweek; Stan and Kyle think that Tweek is tougher then Craig. Who's right?

    This is actually one of my favorite episodes. We get to learn a lot about Tweek and Craig's characters and we also get to see just how far these little 3rd graders will go for entertainment. It may not be the best episode of South Park ever, but it is definitely one of the funniest, if you ask me. One of the best things about it, is the fact that it has Cartman's famous line "Respect my authoritah!" The dream sequence reaccuring joke got a little old, but other then that, this is a very good episode. So all in all, I really enjoyed it.moreless

  • Not the greatest episode ever but it has it's moments.

    Cartman thinks that Craig is tougher than Tweek, but Stan and Kyle think Tweek is tougher than Craig. So while they are in shop class they make up a bunch of stuff each other said to make them fight.

    Meanwhile the shop class teacher keeps having memries of his dead wife. "Richard swim me higher!" It's funny the first few times but then it gets a bit old.

    Another funny scene is when Cartman is being a sumo wrestler and training against Craig. When the martial arts master tells him to resist the ass, Craig sasy "how can I resist an arse so great" Indeed.

    In the end Tweek and Craig just pretty much beat each other up and no one wins.

    At times it was a very funny episode but for the most part it just didn't have the same feel as other classic episodes.moreless

    • When the plane in Mr. Adler's dream explodes it shows that the pilot room is Fine after it, while the explosion had caused the plane to completely explode. Surely it would have blown his wife up immediately. Edit
    • Running Gag: In every flashback of Mr. Adler's wife, she keeps saying Richard in each scene. Edit
    • The woman in the picture and in the flashbacks of Mr. Adler is played by Pam Brady, South Park's assistant writer. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • During the DVD commentary for this episode Matt stone states that Mr. Adler is based on a teacher he had in elementary school. Whenever Matt tries to tells us the real name of the teacher, it's bleeped. This is because whoever this person is, they had not given permission for Parker and Stone to use their name. Edit
