# Hubot Tucker
 [](https://coveralls.io/github/ocean/hubot-tucker?branch=master) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hubot-tucker) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hubot-tucker) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hubot-tucker)
[Malcolm Tucker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Tucker) quote provider for [Hubot](https://hubot.github.com) created by [@ocean][1].
## Great big sweary swearword warning, obviously.
I wouldn't have thought you'd be here if you don't know who Malcolm Tucker is, but in case you don't, he is a character from British BBC political comedy series [_The Thick of It_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thick_of_It), created by the masterful [Armando Iannucci](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armando_Iannucci) and brought to life by the amazing [Peter Capaldi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Capaldi).
## Installation
1. Add **hubot-tucker** to your `package.json` file:
```json
"dependencies": {
"...": "*",
"hubot": "*",
"hubot-tucker": "*",
"...": "*",
}
```
2. Add **hubot-tucker** to your `external-scripts.json`:
```json
["hubot-tucker"]
```
3. Run `npm install`
## Usage
Your Hubot will now respond with a highly inappropriate, uniquely-Malcolm Tuckeresque insult whenever addressed with the right phrases:
- "Hubot tucker <name or me>" - abuse <name> or be the target of some hopefully uplifting abuse yourself
- "Tucker", Malcolm" or "Malc" words mentioned - general abuse is hurled at the chat room (case insensitive, and literally insensitive).
### Configuration variables
- `HUBOT_TUCKER_OFF` - if you need to quickly and simply switch Malcolm off completely, set this to `true` or `1` and this Hubot script will only judge you silently, instead of loudly in public.
- `HUBOT_LESS_MALCOLM` - if you wish Hubot to not respond with a quote when the name "Malc" or "Malcolm" is mentioned (say because you have someone in your team called Malcolm, or because [your country gets a new Prime Minister][5] and your colleagues chat about politics a lot ;-) then set `HUBOT_LESS_MALCOLM` to `true` or `1` and Hubot will ignore these words.
- `HUBOT_TUCKER_BYLINE` - if some members of your chat room are perplexed about the abuse Hubot is hurling and who this Malcolm person is, set this to `true` or `1` and Hubot will sign each pithy general abuse epithet with a byline, "`-- Malcolm Tucker`".
## Credits
Many thanks to [arsenio][2], who created the original Hubot script, and [danriti][3] as this was forked from his [hubot-bofh][4] script.
