## Key points

- Tweek and Craig return to the spotlight.
- Their anniversary plan satirises youth club sports.
- Fees and travel costs pile up for Tweek’s family.

## Summary

“South Park” gives Tweek and Craig, the fan-favourite couple known as Creek, the spotlight in “We Be Clubbin’”, the penultimate episode of season 29. The story uses their relationship to parody the costly world of youth club sports and the pressure on parents to keep children from being “left behind”, while also nodding to the series “Heated Rivalry”.

After Craig forgets their anniversary, Tweek joins club sports to spend more time with him, but the commitment consumes the family’s time and money. A tryout costs $26, and parents face further charges for travel, parking, spectating and drinks, including $14 pints. The article also notes brief political jokes about Democrats’ midterm gains and the season’s reduced focus on Donald Trump.
