Awesome moments in Craig of the Creek.
open/close all folders
Season 1
"You're It"
- Craig's plan on getting the game "Tag" out of the creek by tricking Bernard into coming to the Creek and have Kelsey tag him. Since Bernard doesn't like going to the Creek, he leaves the Creek while being "it", removing the centuries-long game from the Creek forever.
"The Future is Cardboard"
- Carter managed to create a castle (and a Mini-Mecha) out of cardboard, complete with functional plumbing! His secret? Lots and lots of duct tape.
"Kelsey Quest"
- Kelsey's having a Heroic BSoD during her fight with Jerry and the oversized sword he stole from the Elders, but Craig and J.P. encourage her by imitating her narrations and reminding her she never gives up. Her "light" then reignites, the music becomes an anime OP, and she is suddenly able to outmaneuver and outfight Jerry at every opportunity. It ends with her striking him hard enough to break the Elders' sword in two.
"Deep Creek Salvage"
- Craig apparently came up with rather impressive inventions in his dreams, like an air-powered submersible and a claw powered by a dino grabby, that he uses to find the "gold bar" in the dirty creek.
Season 2
"Sour Candy Trials"
- Within Craig's sour-candy-induced dream, his fight against Big Red, now a hulking tentacled lemon-monster, seems hopeless...until Nicole shows up and curb-stomps Big Red with grace, driven by maternal instinct. She even manages to cut off some of her tentacles.
- Thanks to the encouragement of his sweet (imaginary) family, and against all odds, Craig does it. The candy no longer tastes sour, and dissolves in his mouth, making him the first Creek kid ever to finish a Pucker Sucker and giving Big Red some Laser-Guided Karma.
"Crisis at Elder Rock"
- Craig giving a Rousing Speech to the kids watching the Elder's livestream on how they should all come together to help each other when someone's in danger and bluntly points out that everyone will be in trouble if the adults find out about the Elders being trapped under a rock for five days. Not only did this scare everyone into helping, but they all work really well and are able to rescue the Elders.
"The Jinxening"
- Paloma is able to jinx everyone since she's always observing everyone's behavior while being jinxed, but J.P. is able to get the better of her and beat her at her own game thanks to his eccentricity making it difficult for her to predict what he's going to say.
Season 3
"The Other Side: The Tournament"
- The Stump Kids and Bryson are able to hold their own fairly well against the king's champions, culminating in Kelsey being able to take down the Squashinator, who is several times her size.
- Craig is able to lead the gang out of the maze by likening it to the tangled hose problem he fixed earlier.
"Council of the Creek: Operation Hive-Mind"
- The Council of the Creek is able to pull off a plan to capture and transport a bunch of bees without harming them. The only reason the original plan didn't work was because of Bobby's interference, and even then Craig is able to get the bees safely to the field.
- Craig is too nervous to originally participate in the plan after being stung by a bee, but once learning that Bobby is heading to the daycare with the box, he steels himself and goes to confront him. He even takes off his protective suit to let Bobby know they're both in the same amount of peril.
"Breaking the Ice"
- After getting fed up with Wildernessa talking down on him one too many times, Craig finally calls her out on her hypocrisy and her behavior, which leaves her speechless. It's so effective that Cheesestick, who's usually loyal to Wildernessa, actually sides with Craig and disobeys Wildernessa's order to return to her until she confess how she really feels about Craig.Craig: I know, I don't know anything. Well, you're right, 'cause I don't understand you at all. I mean, you act like you're better than everyone, but you're human too. When that tuba goes off, you go home, to your house, and your room, with your cell phone, and your bed, and, and... and your ''other bed'', 'cause I don't know, maybe you got two beds. But I'll tell you what I do know, there's two things that are phony: you and baloney! I'm out! (walks to the door) You know, maybe you do care about animals, but that doesn't mean you have to tear down the people around you.
"Capture the Flag Part 5: The Game"
- Maya proving how much of a One-Woman Army she is by easily plowing through the Sewer Queen and the Ninja Kids. And when Carter steps in and transforms the flag fort into a Humongous Mecha, after she gets furious as a result of J.P.'s taunts, she jumps towards them using the trampoline, and blasts clean through the robot, causing it to explode in a single strike as she steals the flag. When Maya is about to cross the overpass to win the game, it takes the combined might of Kelsey and the current (Omar) and previous (Michelle Green) Green Poncho to stop her.
- Before Maya and Omar show up, Kelsey holds off Maya on her own, despite how afraid she is of her. Maya gets surprisingly brutal with Kelsey, but she gets up every time in order to stop her from crossing.
- How is Maya finally taken down? Omar and Michelle combine their bows to create a bigger bow where they launch Kelsey at her where she knocks her down.
- When it looks like the Squashinator is about to tag Craig after Wildernessa performed a Heroic Sacrifice to save him, Deltron appears (in his first non-cameo appearance since "The Kid from 3030"!) and does a rap which Squashinator dances to while Craig escapes. During that moment, the other kids are able to take down the King's Champions, all while "Positive Contact
" plays.- After the rest of his team alongside Maney were tagged by the Blur, Cannonball manages to outspeed and trap him in "Cannon Space", giving Kelsey an opening to escape in order to intercept Maya.
- Sparkle Cadet and Omar manage to give Bobby an opening to get behind the Arm in order to take him out on equal grounds, and for his side of the plan, Bobby transforms into Big Time Bobby once again, this time with shining white hair as an awesome reference to Dragon Ball Super's Ultra Instinct, effortlessly deflecting the Arm's water balloons before throwing back with his own candy (In the style of Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon no less), allowing the team to apprehend the Arm.
- When Xavier has Craig on the ropes, Craig manages to turn the tables on him by taunting him about he's just a bully that no one actually wants to be friends with, and all his followers just tolerate him because he gives them stuff. This enrages Xavier to the point of actually throwing a punch that Craig dodges, leading him to actually fall off the edge of the tree fort (putting him in possibly the most actual peril that has ever been depicted on the show) before Craig saves him by grabbing his cape.
- Craig is able to take the flag still attached to Xavier's cape and run all the way back to the other side of the creek with Xavier in hot pursuit. He's able to just get the flag into his hand and just on the other side of the overpass right as Xavier tackles him, winning the game.
- Cannonball and Sparkle Cadet manage to help Craig to the overpass, in a sweet payoff to the three's friendship established in "The Ice Pop Trio." With Sparkle Cadet holding off Squashinator long enough for Craig to get out of the treehouse, and Cannonball helping Craig get closer to the overpass, the two were practically game changers in helping Craig make it to the end.
- A running thread throughout the entire Capture The Flag arc was Craig's frustration that no one listened to him, even though he was clearly right, even admitting to Omar and Wildernessa how he wished the creek could have some order and admitting that maybe the kids do need a leader. With Xavier's speech to him during their confrontation, it seems like it's being set up that Craig is going to be swayed to Xavier's side of thinking. This culminates with Craig winning the Capture the Flag and seeing that all the kids of the Other Side of the Creek are prepared to accept him as their new king. But after Craig looks back at all the friends he's made at the Creek, he defies the possibility of becoming the next Xavier by turning down the role and telling the kids that they're free to play as they want, tearing Xavier's flag symbolically.
Season 4
"The Chef's Challenge"
- Tien finally stands up to Rick and challenges him for the title of top chef. Then in the middle of the challenge, Tien realizes he forgot to add sugar to the peanut butter crepe he's making, but with a bit of quick thinking he's able to improvise a savory dish instead. The results are so delicious it reverts the Elder back to a youthful state.
"The Anniversary Box"
- Jessica shows off her Cute Bruiser side when Richard takes her mother's anniversary gift because of the "Finders Keepers" policy along with tricking Craig into giving him his bag.
Season 5
The Once and Future King
- Xavier, determined to get revenge on Craig and reclaim his throne, goes to Kenneth for advice. Kenneth explains to him about how he made a great personal sacrifice, which lead him to finding the Heart of the Forest and helped him find friends who crowned him as King. Xavier, only caring about getting back into power, blows off the true message of his brother's tale and demands that Kenneth give him the Heart of the Forest. Kenneth explains that the Heart of the Forest isn't an object, it's a place. One that can only be found by a map he created and gave to those he trusted the most, ensuring that Xavier would never get it because he knew the little twerp would feel entitled to it.Kenneth: I don't know how to get there. I made a map, and I gave all the pieces of it to my friends.
Xavier: (seething) To. Your. Friends? Your friends?! WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE THE MAP TO ME, YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD, BRO?!
Kenneth: (in mild disappointment and disgust) Because you expect me to.
