Ivan the Unbearable

Finally uploading this.
This is the cartoon I made for Nickelodeon/Frederator for the shorts program Random Cartoons which premiered on NickToons Network December 13th of 2008
Ivan the Unbearable is about a short, pudgy and very soft-spoken viking. When he comes back from a pillaging trip, he's suddenly cursed by one of his findings. Hence, going to the root of the source for a cure.
Starring the voice talents of Jeff Doucette, Maurice LaMarche and Tress MacNeille
Directed by Gary Conrad

I just saw that it's dedicated to your father. That's really sweet.

[@johntheechidna1]

The fact that you got to do voices for this along with Tress MacNeille and Maurice LaMarche is just epic awesome! =D

[@Flegan777]

I remember this one. Probably one of the most well drawn and entertaining of the shows they had on RC.

[@GekkouKitsune]

This needs to be on TV. Or anything like this, in this art style and comedy style. We need more traditional cartoons like this.

[@maxleon61702]

Facts.

[@bloodrunsclear]

Reminded me of the best of Animaniacs :)

[@TheNameIsNori]

Dude, YOU ARE MY HERO! I didn't know you made this! I loved this cartoon every since I first saw it on TV. Thank you so much for making it, and posting it on KZbin. ^^ You are an inspiration Mr. Dickman.

[@mryoyoserpico]

dammit!!! Why didn't this show get picked up!?!

[@Score_Magala]

Yet Adventure Time and Fanboy and Chum Chum were....

[@mryoyoserpico]

hey man... adventure time is awesome!

[@cyberdragonessmaster]

@@Score_Magala technically adventure time wasn't Nick actually passed on it and on bravest warriors

[@ReverendxGrimm]

Score Magala adventure time was a successful series with thousands upon thousands of fans, and actually had good story telling elements. Are you challenged?

[@mrnobody2018]

Adventure time will never be popular again

[@figarofigarini]

this would've been a great show if it had a full series ;-;

[@danielgudinojuarez6729]

Brilliant pilot, it's like a cross between disenchantment and Dave the Barbarian!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@KingOfNeon]

Finally got to see it and as many people say," its weird to see your characters animated". Keep up the good awesome work!

[@Sperium3000]

The part with the security troll was the funniest in the whole short. Nice work overall!

[@13mungoman13]

The animation is fantastic, the voice acting is amazing, and the humour is incredible. If it was a show, I'd watch it.

[@1un4cy]

Feels a lot like Animaniacs. This would make a great cartoon.

[@mryoyoserpico]

This needs to be a show!

[@mrnobody2018]

Not while it's outside of oh yeah! cartoons

[@CecilyJisi]

This is phenomenal! How did this not catch on?!

[@WieldingEminator]

Ah, the nostalgic feels! Plus, it's an original story, too.

[@JoLiKMC]

Fun fact: Andy himself did the voice of the random viking at 0:31. Glad this is uploaded. This is a great cartoon in an otherwise dismal time for cartoons!

[@AangTLA06]

Gary Conrad worked in The Fairly OddParents as director in the modt of the episodes

[@turboking9238]

Ah this is awesome!!! Way better than anything we get nowadays!

[@joshridgway7302]

This is one of my favorite Random Cartoon

[@layfonzaberwolf278]

i have been looking for this for years, this is a lot better then the crap we have on TV now a days.

[@dydeesoule9013]

Awesome work on the cartoon Andrew. :D

[@ilikethecokev2]

How did this not become a full series?

[@amateurized709]

and why did nick choose Fanboy and Chum Chum over this?

[@1aundulxaldin]

+Amateurized The answer is fairly simple, but subjective. This cartoon had effort put into it. Fanboy and Chum Chum effortless and cheap to make. And it will rake in the ratings, and ratings equal profit, and profit equals Nick cashing in on the naivete of Children.

[@r.a.g.3428]

Nah, I think it's cuz it was a 3D and back then getting a decently animated 3D show would have been too crazy to pass up.

[@cyberdragonessmaster]

Cause Nick be dumb I mean could of haw adventure Time and bravest warriors but passed on them

[@masterdrewt6698]

Amateurized probably it wouldn’t become as popular as it is, I mean the voicing are good to be honest

[@AyasuVT]

Oh god, this was the funniest thing I've seen all night. XD I LOVE slapstick cartoons.

[@p4kf4m]

This is so great! I LOL'D so many times! I love your character design, and the animation is incredible! Also, storyline = EPIC. XD

[@JoLiKMC]

It was/is. It was/is on Nicktoons Network on the show "Random! Cartoons", a spin-off of "Oh Yeah! Cartoons".

[@Grudulepoilu]

Woah! At 0:36 , it's Fulliautomatix from "Asterix"!

[@johntheechidna1]

Man, they should makes this into a series! This was bloody hilarious! =D

[@CMB505]

Glad you were able to show this on YT Andy, I never got to be able to watch it on Nick when it aired. Great stuff as always

[@Samael16661]

I actually believe in pagan stuff and wear a Mjölnir, but seriously this has to be one of the best cartoons i've seen in a long time Ivan the Unbearable is absolutely adorable and authenticly funny! I LOVE it!

[@stinkoman2x6]

Andrew, I do believe this is your masterstroke. Keep up the good work!

[@GenoRedux]

I just saw this air on NickToons on Random! Cartoons. I thought I heard the name before and I was brought back here immediately. I'm really late as I saw it first on youtube once you uploaded this but it still gave me a good feeling just to see it again on TV.

[@jadecaceres2557]

You said it Flutter's this is like my favorite Random Cartoon

[@smittensamantha]

Wow, I have to ask, how was it to work with Maurice LaMarche and Tress MacNeille? Classic actors, they really added to the animation

[@Wolf_pigs]

finally it's here I always wanted to watch this random cartoon

[@glowworm2]

This is hillarious. I love Ivan, whoever voices him is terrific.

[@VromNath]

Thank you so much for loading! Man... I still can't believe I missed watching this one year ago due to moving.

[@AnneIllustrating]

I was so upset when I missed the premiere in Nick, but now I get to see it! Thank you so much for posting the short, Andrew! I love your style and sense of humor. Reminds me of the cartoons I watched as a kid. I would love to see more and I hope the series gets picked up!

[@BenjaminHayden]

Greatest cartoon ever. I hope that Nick makes this into a series.

[@simtrainertoyslayerextras4811]

Man,I wish this would become an actual cartoon

[@hot_coldman]

Great show, would totatally watch if this got picked up for a series!

[@theshockerpit7274]

Whenever people talk about random cartoons, this is probably what people imagine

[@angelbeas9137]

This reminds me of those viking comics in the sunday funnies Edit: Also I had no idea you made this

[@evilhero2312]

I wish this short would’ve been greenlit, because this is one of the best I have ever watched on Random! Cartoons.

[@ericahernandez1432]

evilhero23@ make a KZbin videos

[@ericahernandez1432]

nick should make turn a a series ivan the unbearable and thom cat and yaki and yumi and boneheads need to a series on Nickelodeon

[@ericahernandez1432]

Evilhero23@ random cartoons shorts need to be a series pilot like thom cat and yaki and yumi and Solomon fix need to be a series on Nickelodeon just like adventure time and fanboy and chum chum series @

[@RabidWaLLY06]

It's been a loong while since I've seen you announce this series, I must say, it actually made me chuckle quite a few times. It's great to see the series finally in action! Great work, both you and the staff!

[@DustInTheWind64]

This deserves a full length show! Great job!

[@ZapmanX]

that was awesome saw this on ur web site years ago been wanting to see this

[@Porygonluva]

I've actually seen this on Random Cartoons. It was the funniest of the three of that episode, that's for sure. >_> On Nicktoons Network, whenever they air Random Cartoons, Ivan is the character that they show when showing a picture of it. Maybe because it was the only good thing that ever came from Random Cartoons. Idk... But anyways, this is great!

[@m56214]

Yet they never greenlit the actual series itself it's like hooglians choose what gets comissioned

[@bunnygirle26]

Andrew this was awesome! It reminded me of the toons that i used to watch as a kid. This is classic awesome at its best.

[@snowwe]

Glad I finally got to see this! I was so upset and felt bad when I missed it on tv. I like it, it's silly and funny and not full of screaming, repeating, or snot/fart jokes. Great job babe!

[@xientau9028]

I loved this one, especially, especially the bit at 4:52 - 5:48. :)

[@andreas.2494]

When I first saw this short I was like, "Oh my God is that Hagar?"

[@H2O589]

Here's hoping he gets his own series.

[@nejustinas32]

Lol! Trolls with the chains on their legs or something? Thats just classic!

[@andyblood-beard2214]

Want to see more of this Ivan is funny 😄😆!

[@glamdoodle]

It's so weird seeing your characters in ACTION. O: This was incredible! And Ivan is so adorable! c:

[@bradleysmith3389]

That was great! Can't believe I wasn't already familiar with this. Good work, man!

[@Damaladrona]

Muy buena, divertida, tener ya algo nuevo de Andrew me emociona, siempre ando al tanto de sus pasos I love it!!!! Good job!! Luck on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons to do more cartoons...

[@Blackwater154]

Andrew you got some serious talent man, I hope you make it real big in this industry.

[@tageneislover]

I remember when this used to play on TV a few years ago. I can't believe that Andrew Dickman organised the Mama Luigi project and made this!

[@grandtheftaero1]

Every single Random Cartoon video i am commenting lol. I watched this in my little kiddie room when it came out. Good Times.

[@Tootiefrootietortalini2001]

It’s the artstyle for me

[@nak_zun3430]

Istg the humor here is far better than any cartoon nowadays

[@Malicious_Hero]

Once again you amaze me Andrew Dickman, just like every video of yours I see, just like way back with Rockman Neo on Newgrounds

[@UdtheImp]

NICE!! Why the Hell THIS didn't get picked up, I'll NEVER know! OOOO, Co-Producer, Storyboard Artist, and cameo voice work! Nice! By the way, what DOES a producer do....?

[@m56214]

This looks like Eek the Cat and Earthworm Jim combined

[@lordneo256]

I love it, very very cool. Thanks for sharing it.

[@projp9057]

The plot it’s extremly simple, no wonder it didn’t get pick, it needs more than having good animation and voices to be a full series, like having a better defined characters, deeper plots, etc.

[@javierrico1996]

You should've developed this further into a full series and pitched this to Teletoon.

[@Grimlock64]

Wow, I really wish this had been made into a full series. Or at least had you make short movie to toss on a DVD! I'd buy that for sure.

[@donaldoanka]

this was awesome, Great Work Dickman

[@Darmst]

A lot of vikings settled in Normandy France. Don't know if that place had mountains though.

[@Cyberlink420]

Awesome work, dude! I really hope this one gets a series deal!

[@san9afis]

Awesome cartoon, loved it !

[@IStoleAllYourCookies]

Oh my god how long it's been.

[@supergeno128ds]

That was awesome! I've been a fan of yours since I saw the "Wily Show" years ago. Its awesome to see that you're still doing stuff. Best of luck! :D

Laughed a whole lot when watching this!

[@DrDrystal]

this so awesome! still..i somehow feel that i have heard the voic of Ivan´s Mother before in a cartoon.. or some voice very similiar.. still great, simple and funny :)

[@Sairex666]

Is it just me, or does Hollywood hire the same voice actress to voice every haggard old woman in the existence of animation?

[@masterdrewt6698]

I swear I’m surprised that the random cartoon show was re-aired in the early 20s between 2010 and 2011

[@masterdrewt6698]

And I actually like Ivan He’s loyal, kind, wise, and personally my favorite character

[@GreycatRademenes]

That was AWESOME :3> Great Work Andy!

[@cgnfake6721]

This is great

[@JoLiKMC]

And you know, I'm blind for not noticing this before (though I wasn't into it at the time), but there's a few Asterix references strewn about here and there, it seems like. The fish trader's outfit, for example.

[@gablit-gt8kk]

How can we watch random cartoons with no bumper logos!?

[@randidesu]

AHHH ROBOTS what I heard : AHHH SUPER FIGHTING ROBOTS

[@adzwanmorsidi6461]

5:02 XD 😂😂😂😂

[@stickks9875]

And why didn't this get a full series

[@1aundulxaldin]

That was awesome.

[@Doughboy123x]

I will agree. I mean, I like Flash and Anime Studio and such, but animation like this is practically extinct, and that makes me sad.

[@Porygonluva]

@AndrewDickman Well, I've been waiting for them to air the show for the past couple of weeks, but unfortunately, it seems to be on a hiatus. I'll keep hoping that they eventually air it so that I can snag a picture.

[@sotijas]

awesome

[@FlameG102]

Hey Big D, have you ever read a European comic series named "Asterix"? this reminds me of that a bit. (but then again, it IS based on the Gauls as well, so similarities are pretty inevitable)
