Fantastic Favio has arrived!
And another thing: It's Tony Time.
In the 21st century where teachers assign creative projects to students, two heroes educate with style, skill, and sass. The Fantastic Favio Bros star in a series of videos, currently at a total of about fifty minutes long, in which they fight against their Evil Twins whom think that Everybody Must Get Stoned and the evil Dr. Lucifer who plans to take over the world using calculus. This videos are also Troper Works, as the two main characters, Favio and Tony Muhplaah are tropers.
There are currently four works completed so far:
- The Dangers of Alcohol
, in which Tony must fight LeTony in order to find his brother and save him from drinking. This was the first movie in the series and primarily starred Tony and LeTony because it was their assignment. - The Horrors of Ecstasy, where MaCavio makes his debut and plans to have an ecstasy party with LeTony.
- A Powerful Foe, where the Bros meet and fight the Big Bad, Bububaba.
- The Mathematics Movie of Tony and J.E.M., two part movie which gives Tony A Day in the Limelight, along with a new enemy in the form of Dr. Lucifer and a Lancer known as J.E.M. Stone. This movie was made for Math class instead of Health, and also uses music from Video Games instead of the music which comes with editing software.
- Salvia is Not our Savior, where the Fantastic Favio Bros go back to their roots and fight LeTony to stop him from unveiling his new drug to the world.
- Audio'll Be Walkin' The Plank, where LeTony begins pirating audio.

- Tony's Catchphrase, Tony Time.
- Aesop Amnesia: Despite being defeated and learning alcohol is bad, LeTony becomes evil again in the second film and begins having Ecstasy parties.

- Comically Missing the Point:
- When MaCavio looks at Tony's phone, he sees that it says "message sent," and wonders what that means.
