Clyde's Ballapalooza Extravaganza
is an ask blog of the South Park fandom. The blog debuted on Tumblr on January 27, 2016 and is on an indefinite hiatus at the moment. Followers can ask the kids from Craig's Gang: Clyde Donovan, Craig Tucker, Tweek Tweak, Jimmy Valmer, and Token Black (along with the four main boys) questions about themselves. It was created after season 19 and before season 20, though the story also includes elements from season 21 onwards. Nearly all characters were portrayed by Wire (his real name and origin are both undisclosed for private reasons). The blog is also overseen by the author's friend, known only as Kopso.
Clyde Donovan makes the first entry by suddenly telling his friends they are going to be part of a blog. Despite some reluctance from Craig, they go along with it, showing various degrees of interest. The story has its own pace and even features various one-shot characters, such as Gregory of Yardale, Christophe "Ze Mole", and Thomas from "Le Petit Tourette", amongst others.
The art style and story has quickly made the blog one of the most popular of the fandom.
The story in the blog provides example of:
- 15 Minutes of Fame: Invoked by Clyde towards him and the other boys.
- And Now for Someone Completely Different: There are various instances in which Clyde, the main character of the blog, is unable to answer any questions the viewers might ask. In those moments, Craig or Tweek usually take Clyde's place.
- Art Evolution: The style has improved dramatically since it first started.
- Ascended Extra: One-Shot characters Gregory of Yardale, Christophe "Ze Mole", and Thomas from "Le Petit Tourette" appear as part of Butters'/Professor Chaos' "Heroes of Evil" team when Butters takes over Clyde's blog. They even have their own villainous personas.
- The Big Damn Kiss: When Wonder Tweek is freed from his binds after Stripe chews through them, he then confronts Super Craig and tells him what he wanted to do the whole day: Have his first kiss with Craig. He then proceeds to do just that, much to Craig's flustered surprise, leaving him breathless and at a loss for words.
- Noodle Incident: When the kids are riding the bus to school, the school bus is hijacked by several gunmen, who are apparently targeting the boys (as in, Stan's gang) because of an incident they made with a dealer some days ago. Stan's gang ends up driving the bus all the way up a mountain, leading the kids to take shelter in an abandoned warehouse to get away from the gunmen. A few moments later, Stan's uncle Jimbo comes to rescue them and drive them back to school, while all the other kids are too pissed off at Stan's gang to ask them what was going on.
- Spit Take: Apparently, Tweek ended up spitting coffee on Craig after school at some point for whatever reason, but before Clyde could tell why, Craig and Tweek stop him by having Tweek tell Clyde's dad that he skipped class and didn't finish his homework, leading Clyde to be grounded. Clyde eventually tells the readers what really happened when he's sent to bed early without dinner: Cartman egged on Craig to say a pick-up line to Tweek, leading Tweek to spit his coffee all over Craig in response to how cheesy it was. Craig was so upset about what Tweek did, but Tweek only replied with how shitty the pick-up line was. After Craig took off his coffee-stained jacket, Cartman escalated the situation by using a Double Entendre line, pissing Craig off and leading him to try and beat up Cartman, much to Tweek's protest. It ended up with both Tweek and Craig getting in trouble with PC Principal. For those who want to know what happened (based on Clyde's quotes):Craig: Tweek.
Tweek: What's wrong, Craig?
Craig: Do you like sugar in your coffee?
Tweek: What? You know I don't.
Craig: [blushing] That makes sense. Because you're plenty sweet on your own.
(Cue Tweek spitting his coffee on Craig in response to his shitty pick-up line while Cartman laughs his fat ass off)◊Craig: Holy shit! What did you do that for?!
Tweek: What did I do that for?! I should be asking you the same question!!! WHAT WAS THAT?!?!?!?!?!
Craig: Don't worry about it, it's nothing. (Takes Clyde's phone when he tries to get a picture of Craig and tosses it over a brick fence, then takes off his coffee-stained jacket) Now my clothes are covered in your coffee and spit, dude!
Cartman: [laughing as loud as he can be] This can't be the first time you've been covered in Tweek's coffee and spit, Craig! Get it!!! Did you– did you get it, Craig? That's a dick joke! Because– because your dick is probably covered in spit and coffee, because you see, Tweek–
(Cue Craig stomping towards Cartman before Tweek intervenes)Tweek: Agggh, calm down! I don't even understand what's going on here! I can't handle this, I dropped the rest of my coffee and now I have nothing to calm me down you two are going nuts what's wrong I'm going to explode from pressure– oh my god, exploding is bad, I can't explode, that shit's dangerous!!–
Craig: Tweek, calm down! You're not going to explode!
Tweek: Tell me what's going on!
Craig: This is all lard-butt's fault! [lunges at Cartman to try and beat him up while Tweek holds him back]
(Cue PC Principal walking in on Tweek, Craig, and Cartman)
The Result: Tweek and Craig got in trouble because of what happened, while Cartman got off scot-free with his bullshit.
