Random Cartoons-Flavio

[@CessDoesChaos]

To the maker of this. I hope you know someone still remembers this cartoon you made. I was a kid when I watched this and as an adult I still remember it vividly and loved the quirkiness of flavio and pasta on a stick

[@crabcakie9316]

Indeed, it also took me a while to find because I searched Guiseppe the Goat instead of Flavio

[@gecko2738]

I want to know why you have that nutsack physics cat as your profile. The dog in those cartoons also looks fu ckin stupid and the cat is a fat pot bellied loser.

[@CAPTAINCHRISHD]

@@crabcakie9316 it was recomended to me and i watched it now

[@ximenallanas6780]

Rob Paulsen really shine this time as Flavio, and yes, Flavio is voiced by the same guy who voiced Yakko Warner from Animaniacs

[@andrewmorales6193]

No wonder his voice sounded familiar

[@reelsforreals2385]

I love it. The characters are intriguing and funny without having to be stupid, and they can still be relatable even if their adventures can get crazy. Wonderful animation; clean AND effective humor; Flavio's a nice and likeable guy with dreams like the rest of us; I can go on. Wish you all the best with working on TV, and please try to find some way to give us more Flavio, even if he can just be on the internet. With a lot of today's shows, we need stuff like yours if kids are going to keep watching TV at all.

[@therealmilowerx]

Thanks a lot! :-)

[@ShepdogX5]

just watching this show, makes me wish it had more episodes of it as I enjoyed the whole thing as I could get behind this show bit more, than the other one.

[@erainmartinez8175]

same here

[@sporeboy67]

still better than most of what nick actually aires

[@asaelpolanco8151]

It's a shame that Nickelodeon decides to give the boot on this and air their crappy live action shows and Nicktoon and air this as a one-shot.

[@Joe-y9t3w]

the fact this comment is a decade old and STILL applies to this day 😆

[@supersaver87]

A real shame this didn't sell, this was really good!

[@therealmilowerx]

Thank you! I wish Nick agreed with you!

[@gramcrackr8150]

"Pasta on a Stick, now with Meat and Cheese!"

[@angah82]

This cartoon is the sole reason why I started to like goats and then never looked back. Thank you for this short but sweet cartoon.

[@holeofdarn]

Like Ralsei 🥰

[@billingram1622]

At least you had Rob Paulsen & John DiMaggio voicing this... can't go wrong!

[@weirdnwild91]

Jon DiMaggio wasn't in this. Which character did you think he voiced?

[@CaptBackwards]

good lord? them? and this is still not on freaking TV? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD. I do not wish any more.

[@angelbeas9137]

weirdnwild91 The boss

[@Greatdictator]

I dont know why but i had this urge to watch this again i just loved Flavio...its a overall pretty cute short and i can easily see this being a show

[@therealmilowerx]

Thanks! Funny that you say that as I am actually trying to repitch it to Nickelodeon soon. Just went over the other scripts I wrote and I feel they're better that this one so... here's to hoping! If I could figure out how to get a ton more hits on this maybe they'll listen.

[@Greatdictator]

Well i wish you good luck , and even tho it does look like its on nick i have to say . Knowing Nick i feel like you'd have better luck with CN

[@therealmilowerx]

+Greatdictator Well yes I actually agree but I've currently GOT something going with CN at the moment and they won't develop two properties of mine at once so I gotta see this first one through first! Nick's reason for passing the first time? It was too much like Sponge Bob.

[@Greatdictator]

Yea i can see it , though i honestly think they'd get it simply cause its like spongebob XD . Though i think the fact that he wants to get out of his current job kinda makes a big difference.

[@thisisabadchannel.stopsubs2952]

+Mike Milo will you bomb it with fart, butt, and poop jokes?? That ruins shows. Dont put them in.

[@easy-online-german]

Flavio is a real cutie :-)

[@therealmilowerx]

Thanks!

[@99PowerNation99]

This cartoon looks amazing! I wish it was a real series.

[@cliff1634]

This is probably my favorite of all the shorts

[@Sir_milowerx]

Thank you I wish Nickelodeon felt the same way!

[@professorwakeNbake]

Its so weird because I thought this was all made up in my head but seeing the thumbnail brought back the memories of watching this at Nicktoons at like 2 in the morning

[@Kianthesimpsonsfanatic2023]

Flavio sounds like an Italian Yakko Warner.

[@therealmilowerx]

Good ear! That's because they're both played by the same actor Rob Paulson.

[@summerjonz]

I love seeing goats at the Webber's Farm petting zoo so hearing Rob Paulsen voice one makes my day!

[@kerespup]

I saw this cartoon while I was at the hospital, it reminded me so much of the earlier times where cartoons weren't just random things put together. It didn't take more than a few seconds that I got attached to the set of characters and their short backgrounds. I wish it were a series!

[@Sir_milowerx]

Glad he liked it and thanks for letting me know! It's always great to hear what people thought about my film.

[@jessehansley7145]

My friend I love it. And I want u to know Jesus loves you

[@petermanfox2535]

A very enjoyable cartoon! Plus that goat's adorable!

[@SnakeIsGambling6435]

Man, I remember being at homesick, watching theses during school hours

[@trappedgenius7294]

omg i remember watching this on tv when i was kid. i’m so glad i found it years later! 😁

[@M1ckTheMan]

Dammit a lot of good ideas here. Like, Flavio's inventing makes the food a big fad, and gets a rival who tries to steal their secrets! That'd be awesome.

[@Sir_milowerx]

+yoshimickster That's exactly what was going to happen if it had gone to series.

[@M1ckTheMan]

REALLY?! I WOULD SO WATCH THAT!

[@nergaljr8363]

That is the formula of spongebob

[@1000Animation]

awwwww a cute little goat! Good lesson for this cartoon. Remember kids,always follow your dreams even when times are rough. Even when people make fun of you and think you can't do it. Follow them.

[@gabethebaeb_5881]

Pasta on a stick would actually be a good idea.

[@therealmilowerx]

Haha, I tried it, it's not so easy to get it to stay ON the stick!

[@gabethebaeb_5881]

Mike Milo hmm, there might be some way.

[@CaptBackwards]

Mike Milo see rice balls, they managed to get that rice stick together into a ball form.

[@annafrankeur3949]

This pilot was delightful ! The characters and relationships are great, and the concept has a lot of potential ! I'm honestly sad it never got picked, especially considering it would not have been ot of place on Nickelodeon

[@SylvieNe]

Aww Flavio is adorable.

[@charliepea]

In alk the Random Cartoons pilot this was my most favourite. I found the goat cute when I was a kid watching this. Sad it never greenlit.

[@fireboykez]

This should be an actual show

[@marcokiun]

Oh darn! This is a wonderful series, truth to be told; I had never seen it! You've just got me inspired to keep up with my pitch for a series. Darn; great job on Flavio! Here's to hoping we could talk sometime!

[@therealmilowerx]

Thanks! I'm on Twitch every Saturday from 12-3 Pacific time if you want to tune in. There's even a chat you can talk on.

[@dudedude315]

Am i the only one who likes this? I like the vibes, Mike Milo.

[@therealmilowerx]

Thanks man! I throw vibes back in your general direction old friend!

[@christheuwu]

This just came to me yesterday and I was astounded to remember this! I hope the creator is doing well

[@NeonBloo25]

wow if old school toons were some sort of refreshment this would really hit the spot!

[@GJYYNGII]

If only Flavio was the new Italy from Hetalia.

[@Sir_milowerx]

@stephenstudios Thanks for the kind comments Stephen! I'm glad you like it! It's my favorite cartoon I've done so far. I'd love to do more episodes, but unless I can get funding to do it, I don't think it will ever happen as I just don't have the time. I have tons of stories written revolving around flavio's home life as well as at the restaurant, but I doubt Iwill get the time to animate them.

[@Sir_milowerx]

@NashiNashii Thanks for your kind comments! Flavio was voiced by Rob Paulsen... and Bossman was voiced by Bobby Costanzo who played Joey's dad on Friends.

[@theblackpan4426]

So let me get this straight Rob Paulsen had a choice with Nick with either a Italien invented goat in a pizza shop or a mutant pizza eating karate turtle?

[@jonathanwarrdddedcxddeecec4787]

It’s a very hard decision

[@frankiefriedman6158]

Well, he did voice Donatello in the 80s.

[@TheVTable]

@@frankiefriedman6158Raph actually

[@soltrippiv4988]

I wish that was tv show with all episodess

[@scrappy2082]

dunno how i came across this but this is rly cute :D

[@Sir_milowerx]

Thanks! Greetings form Los Angeles! To answer your question, it was done with hand drawings. The storyboard was done digitally in a program called Sketchbook Pro and the coloring was done in ToonBoom but the animation was hand drawn. The backgrounds were done in Flash.

[@galacticstar4942]

Wow this is so cute I really like this short. It would have been cool if it got green lit!

[@Sir_milowerx]

Yeah I don't have the Nicktoons Network either. I guess it's a small network. glad you got to see it here though. I believe there are other Random Cartoons online as well.

[@Feilanna]

Now that's a cartoon. I love the proportions chosen for the characters. :D Kinda old school, but at the same time modern for le kids.

[@troncrash7]

I love how expressive his ears are

[@Stickywicket]

Do I hear Dimaggio? I cant quite get whom Flavio is- it's in the back of my mind though. I personally loved that- Flavio is such an adorable and likable character

[@draxthewolf6511]

I used to love watching Flavio on Random Cartoons, kinda wish this was greenlighted for Nicktoons

[@AquaBlock68]

I wish this was a real show.

[@therealmilowerx]

Me too!

Ditto.

[@MrEzman99]

This aired on Nicktoons today! I find this catoon endless in potential! You're a great cartoonist!

Spaghetti on a stick isn't a bad idea...

Wish we could have seen some of his other ideas.

[@CaptBackwards]

I would love some pasta on a fucking stick.

@5:34 holy moley my mans out here built like lord farquaad.

[@Nightout88]

@6:40 hahaha gay, welcome to the club my guy.

[@KingBurgermon]

Excellent! More cartoons need likable protagonists like this one.

[@andreas.2494]

Ngl a pasta on a stick should be a real thing it looks really good.

[@Iamraretalent]

nice one i am a fan of your work from past to present

[@AngryTinyMan]

And after viewing your site and seeing some of the Flavio extras, I'm finding it an even greater shame this didn't turn into a series. I would've loved to see where these adventures were going to go. Especially with an invention like "chainsaw shoes."

[@foxcosto2043]

My oath to this cartoon: First, I would pledge this cartoon for being funny. It gives me a warm smile on my face, but sometimes it is crazily amusing. I would request you to give me as many love as you like. Second, I have no doubt that this cartoon is created by love. All this cartoon had, was a friend. Crazy characters, funny climax, doesn't matter. It makes me feel warm in the inside. Finally, I love this cartoon. I hope it gives me strength, and that the universe will not be closed for good. P.S. I left you a robot emoji. ->🤖

[@muhammadfadhilazzuhdi995]

Flavio? What kinds a animal is he? A rabbit, goat, gerboa, or a jackalope (because due he had a long ear and has a little bit a horn on his head).

[@oxnvat]

He's a goat

[@Sir_milowerx]

@UltraFlashlight Thank you very much for your kind words! I wish I could do more with Flavio but for now this will have to do...

[@therealmilowerx]

Well the short answer is that I heard they were wanting to do 3d animated series and Fanboy fit the bill. They also said it was too much like Sponge Bob which I disagree with. I'm gonna keep trying to get it made though.

[@Sir_milowerx]

Thanks man! I appreciate your comments! I had a ball making it!

[@ShadowDemon-js3ns]

who voiced Flavio in this?

[@therealmilowerx]

Rob Paulson

[@LH7068]

Great stuff! Definitely should be a series. :D

[@asaelpolanco8151]

Saw this short now, and I have to say, this is a delight to see! It's a shame that Nickelodeon decided to give this the boot and instead air reruns of SpongeBob SquarePants (in which is a good show, but the way that Nickelodeon airs it...), but I can help on making the final show to continue Flavio's adventures. But still, that was a good short. Sad that all Nickelodeon does nowadays is bring back their old properties and leave the good, potential ones shown on all of their incubators in the dust and shown as one-offs.

[@therealmilowerx]

Thank you VERY much! It was a ton of fun to make. I am hoping one day Nickelodeon will see the light and redevelop it into a series. I guess we'll see!

[@Sir_milowerx]

I thank you and Flavio thanks you! In fact he puts you on "The Good Guy List" I wish more people at Nickelodeon agreed with you!

[@MrEzman99]

I think this is WAY BETTER than Spongebob!

[@Sir_milowerx]

@kerespup Thank you very much for your kind comments! Trust me when I tell you I wish it was a series too! :-)

[@KevinMantheiMusic]

Music by Kevin Manthei :)

[@Sir_milowerx]

Thank you for your kind comments! Yeah Bossman does resemble Peter Griffin a bit but that's most likely because he is based on my father and my father slightly resembles Peter except for the hair.

[@Harukurochan]

This short was just awsome. The animation was fluid, the characters are all creative and likeable, and the voice acting was awsome too. Great job dude. ;)

[@rougethebatlover9952]

FU Nickelodeon for rejecting good pilots!

[@MWolfL]

I'd buy the pasta on a stick if it was available. :)

[@Sir_milowerx]

@doipark Thanks! Yes it was on Nickelodeon as part of a show called Random Cartoons!

[@dashiedash2789]

Makes me think if Rob Paulsen was the new voice of Mario

[@therealmilowerx]

Yes! It was part of the Random Cartoon Show and aired on Nicktoons. I don't know if they still show it.

[@Sir_milowerx]

Actually it was done by hand and scanned into the computer and then colored in ToonBoom.

[@dff7462]

Nice cartoon, I see your distinctive style, especially the way you draw the eyes. And on a side-note, the pig boss reminds me of Peter Griffin a little.

[@holeofdarn]

He looks cute when his ears go up 🥰

[@vincent1935]

Are Rob Paulsen and John DiMaggio in this? Those voices sounded like them.

[@therealmilowerx]

Rob Paulsen is yes, he play Flavio but no John is not. That's Bobby Constanza who plays Bossman and Stephen Stanton who plays Mr Frank.

[@tnn9514]

I knew that's Mr Frank's voice actor. He sounds just like Sleepy from the 7d.

[@BernyjackStone]

what a cartoon style

[@Mitarashiboi]

the animation is gorgeous D: I would totally watch this show XD

[@LisFilm1928]

I want more of this stuff!!! XD P.S. Does Flavio sounds like Rob Paulsen?

[@Sir_milowerx]

@SmoothCollision No it's Stephen Stanton as Mr Frank the lion and Bobby Constanza (from Friends) as Bossman the pig.

[@Feilanna]

That's badass. Are you going to make more like this? :D

[@Chenaultay]

that was great! I'd totally watch this if it was a show.

I've always wanted to eat that pasta on a stick as a kid- 😭

[@Sir_milowerx]

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to post!

[@Gaenet_does_art]

Is that Rob Paulson? I can recognize that voice anywhere

[@Sir_milowerx]

Thanks! I enjoyed making it! I'll keep making them if you keep watching them... :-)

[@RustyKnightX]

Man. This was fantastic.

[@NeonBloo25]

seriously if i was a director of a broadcasting cartoon themed channel station i would pay you LARGE sums of money for a piece of this genius, but thats my opinion

[@thedogdrawer]

ha its cool! this could totally become a show!! the reason i think people might like it because its not the spitting image of EVERY cartoon show out there: ppl being chased by one speciifc antagonist and they try to beat that antagonist. Its unique keep up the good work.. i wish i was as good !! :)

[@Sir_milowerx]

Thank you for your kind comments! If you want to do your own cartoons it's entirely possible these days. All you need is a computer and Adobe Flash and you can make an whole cartoon! Good luck and hopefully one day I will be commenting on your cartoon! :-)

[@Sir_milowerx]

Awesome! I'm psyched you liked it then Flavio!

[@Sir_milowerx]

Thanks! I am hoping to make more some day if I can find the funding.

[@Sir_milowerx]

Well, I think you have a fantastic opinion... :-) and Flavio? He puts you at the tippy top of The Good Guy List!

[@sebbb5980]

You definately still have the animation magic running through your veins, Mike. ;) Astounding, especially for a post-1999 cartoon. Such life! AND you got to work with recorded material from Rob Paulsen himself!

[@Sir_milowerx]

@TheCuruleanEmerald: You rock dude! Thanks for the kind words and comments!

[@ZippyRagu]

Is that John DiMaggio as the boss man? :o

[@therealmilowerx]

+Zippy Ragu No it's a character actor named Bobby Costanza who's primarily done live action.

[@ZippyRagu]

+Mike Milo Ah I see, sounds just like him!
