The Craig Slithers Show is a fanmade Tumblr AU blog created by HouseCity101
, centering on one of the main characters in Sanjay and Craig. The series was originally about Craig who becomes a fanfiction reviewer while Sanjay is at Stuntman School. So far, he has reviewed Marah and Kapri Meets The Straw Hat Pirates! while his review of Always Him was in development.
However, the creator of the blog announced that the plot would be replaced with a different one, after the events of the episode, "Heartyface", where Craig joins Tumblr so he can try to become internet famous. Along the way he meets some new friends along with mysterious bad guys who want to capture him for an unknown purpose.
The blog, even though has an innocent premise, is said to be a little more darker than what is based on.
The Craig Slithers Show contains examples of:
- Animesque: It's hinted by the creator of the blog that it will have some anime-like moments as well.
- Big Bad: There was a rumor that there will be a villain in this, but for now, it's unknown who it is.
- Original Character: Subverted with Satine, who was a rumored official character and Craig's love interest; however it's played straight with her owner, Marxlene White, who was made for her by the blog's author.
- The author also confirmed that their will be a villain named Grimminace D. Reaper, a female grim reaper who will be after Craig for his bad deeds. Grimminace's weapon is a soul-sucking axe, which is ten times her size. The author joked that she wanted her to have the same voice of a certain white Crystal Gem.
- Continuation: The new story starts off after the evens of Heartyface, where Craig fails to become famous on Heartyface because of Booger Johnson and goes insane for a bit because of that.
- Darker and Edgier: It's implied that the series will be this, but so far the beginning of "Start Over" may be an example.
- Deadpan Snarker: Craig is more sarcastic than himself from the original show. He also shows more of this in his first fanfic review.
- Fan Boy: Craig is also this as well, as he not only a fan of anime, but also "Steven Universe" and adores both Lapis Lazuli and Peridot (even though he doesn't love the ship
Lapidot). - Green-Eyed Monster: As the fanfic "Start Over" shows, Craig is still jealous of Booger Johnson.
- Large Ham: If you think Craig speaking loud sometimes was that crazy, here is where it's to the MAX. Even in his first fanfic review, he's in total rage of the problems there, and that's not a good sight.
- Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: The Huggle Cult from Craig's Thanksgiving logs, who are both creepy and mysterious, just like Huggle Bunny.
- Otaku: Craig does become interested in anime.
- Occidental Otaku: Craig is apparently one of these in this AU, mentioning anime such as One Piece and Fairy Tail.
- Sanity Slippage: Craig became this in "Start Over" where he loses his mind over losing to Booger Johnson and begins to throw stuff and scream while in the basement. Not to mention what he says while doing so.
- Craig: SCREW HEARTYFACE! SCREW THAT RAT! SCREW EVERYTHING!!
- Shout-Out: In Gamer Wars, when Craig accidentally squishes his tail on the heavy video game box, he unleashes a gigantic energy beam from his mouth that destroys all of Pluto. Also counts as a Funny Moment.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Craig definitely swears in this spin-off! Though not all of them, the words he said so far were hell and crap!
- Spin-Off: Not really an official spin-off, but it is still one, focusing more on Craig than Sanjay.
- Video Review Show: The blog was originally going to be this with Craig reviewing fanfiction except without the "video" part.
