8''Evil Craig'' is a web series formerly hosted by {{Website/Screwattack}} that ran on their website and Website/YouTube from 2012-2016, and currently [[https://roosterteeth.com/series/evil-craig free to watch]] on Creator/RoosterTeeth.

10The show features short videos from Stuttering Craig as "Evil Craig", listing reasons on why we HATE certain works, in a satirical manner. It ended and Evil Craig was fired after people wouldn't buy his shirts. An attempt to reboot the series was made in 2020 on Hang Time's channel, with four new episodes, but they're currently unlisted now.

13!! Mom! Get me some examples!
14* AccentuateTheNegative: The whole point of the series is about listing reasons he hates certain works, and not much else.
15* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: According to him, there's always someone better than everyone else on video games, which makes him feel bad about himself.
16* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Some reasons for hating things can be ridiciulous. For example, he can go from complaining about DLC, DRM, and [[VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution DDR]] to not knowing whether video games is one word or two words in the ''Video Games'' episode.
17* BasementDweller: He lives in his mom's basement, and all of the episodes are filmed there.
18* CameraScrew: {{Invoked}}. The beginning of the second ''Zelda'' episode begins with Craig yelling at someone to fix the camera.
19* ChildHater: In ''Video Games'', he complains about children talking like they think they're adults and shouting swears at him online.
20* CouchGag: Every episode ends with him making some random, violent, sometimes [[BloodyHilarious funny]] threat to the viewer [[DisproportionateRetribution if they don't like the video or buy his shirt]]. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness The first few episodes]] are the exception to this, as they usually end with someone else talking about clicking on a different video.
21* EvenEvilHasStandards: Craig has shown shades of this in his ''Creator/{{Konami}}'' video, citing his disapproval of their treatment of Creator/HideoKojima twice, as well as talking about internet service providers using their power to "fuck everybody" and govern your internet speed.
22* FanHater: Frequently complains about other video game fans as [[FatSlob Fat Slobs]].
23* ItsEasySoItSucks: Invoked. In ''Video Games'', he believes video games today are generally too easy.
24* {{Jerkass}}: Craig's show is about being as negative as possible, this is only a given. He's often rude about some of his complaints, not to mention the whole show is mostly complaining.
25* NoIndoorVoice: Craig only has a few select moments where he's not shouting, and even then that usually leads into SuddenlyShouting.
26* RunningGag: The one thing he does love is pancakes, and he'll often randomly yell for his mom to make him pancakes whenever his train of thought leads into something involving a mom.
27** A good majority of the episodes have one of the reasons listed as "[[SeriousBusiness All you stupid fanboys who take this shit way too seriously!]]"
28* SelfDeprecatingHumor: A running theme in the series. When mentioning how "{{Website/Twitter}}'s for assholes", he shows an image of his own Twitter account. In the same episode, when talking about "all those idiots who put shit online that should be censored", he shows a clip of himself in a previous episode. And in ''Video Games'' he says he hates [[HypocriticalHumor people who set up a camera and some lights and yell about video games]].
29* ToThePain: Craig will often give out really vulgar and drawn out descriptions of what he's gonna do to you if you don't hit the like button on his videos.
30* TheyCopiedItNowItSucks: Invoked. He calls out a stage in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' for having two characters fighting in the background in a stage, as a "rip-off" of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatII'''s Pit stage.
