History WesternAnimation / FlavioTheGoat

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Flavio manages to earn Bossman's trust after his pasta-on-a-stick from earlier comes in handy with catering the Mayor's fundraiser, and is given the key to the restaurant.

* FunnyAnimal

* GratuitousItalian

* AnimalsNotToScale: Bossman the pig is bigger than Mr. Frank the lion.
** Here's the [[http://archives.frederatorblogs.com/flavio/files/2008/04/colorlineup.jpg lineup]] to canonize their true heights.

* BlackBeadEyes

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Though...it only ended with Flavio catering the fund-raising marathon with one of his inventions[[labelnote:*]](the Pasta On a Stick which he doubted earlier)[[/labelnote]] which made his boss really proud of him, thus earning him the key to the restaurant.
* EmotionBomb: WordOfGod has stated that he's hyper-emotional. Flavio cries when he's sad, blaming himself or panicking (he may suck his thumb on that one) but that's not to say he cries in heavy situations only. Also gets very feisty when not being listened to. However, he is still nice through and through.

* ItsAllAboutMe

** [[AllThereInTheManual The setting IS Jersey City after all]].
** The restaurant's name is "Ferget Aboutit".

The full video is posted on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGomWBrc6A8 YouTube]] uploaded by Mike himself. Oh and here's the [[http://archives.frederatorblogs.com/flavio/ production blog]] to find out more about Flavio, his inventions, etc. The aforementioned link to his website also contain information.

* HyperspaceMallet: He can get his inventions from out of his back.

* {{Adorkable}}: Flavio

* OliveGarden: Besides Flavio, the other two seem to be Italian-Americans as well, by judging.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Mike Milo originally intended to voice Flavio and even recorded for the character, but re-casted the role after the animation came back under the suggestion of himself and Fred Seibert as he felt his performance didn't suit the returned animation and also believed it was a bit stereotypical. Rob Paulsen was chosen from auditions and he ADR-ed his lines for the short, supposedly doing an impression of Milo's 'Flavio' voice.
** Flavio was also pitched as a series to Nickelodeon but they turned it down in favor of WesternAnimation/FanboyandChumChum and they believed the concept was too much like WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants.

* MeanBoss: Bossman. Not that much, though.

* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod has also stated that some have commented that the short's characters are almost similar to [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarepants SpongeBob]]. Flavio to [=SpongeBob=], Mr. Frank to Patrick and Bossman to Mr. Krabs.

* KidHero: Added {{just for pun}}.

* AmericanAccents: Mr. Frank and Bossman possess Jersey accents, obviously.

It tells the story about an over-emotional Italian goat who works as a dishwasher in a pizzeria and longs to be a famous inventor like his hero LeonardoDaVinci.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: LeonardoDaVinci in here is interpreted as a dog.

''Flavio the Goat'' (simply titled as "Flavio") is an American animated short film created by [[http://www.milowerx.com Mike Milo]]. It was first screened on March 15th 2007 and was part of the Random Cartoons! show which aired on Jan 24th 2009 on Nicktoons Network. Like most of the shorts therein [[WhatCouldHaveBeen this one wasn't picked up to become a series.]]

* AnimalsNotToScale: Bossman the pig is bigger than Mr. Frank, the lion. Oddly enough, Mr. Frank can carry him.

* CatchPhrase: Flavio's "Good/Bad Guy List" lines.

* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod has also stated that some have commented that the short's characters are almost similar to [[SpongeBobSquarepants SpongeBob]]. Flavio to [=SpongeBob=], Mr. Frank to Patrick and Bossman to Mr. Krabs.

** [[AndZoidberg Then there's Mayor Fredenethyl.]][[labelnote:*]]By the way, he's a blue(-''ish?'') elephant.[[/labelnote]]

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Mr. Frank's receptive attitude to support Flavio.
--> '''Mr. Frank:''' Sure, Flav. I'll probably lose my job, my dreams, my future but anything for you.
** However in the first storyboarding, he does the exact opposite by saying: "You don't want me to lose my job because of your dreams, do you?"

* EmotionBomb: WordOfGod has stated that he's hyper-emotional. Flavio cries when he's sad, blaming himself or panicking (he may suck his thumb on that one) but that's not to say he cries in heavy situations only. Also gets very feisty when not being listened too. However, he is still nice through and through.

* KidHero: Added [[JustForPun just for pun]].

* OliveGarden: Besides Flavio, the other two seem to be Italian-Americans as well [[PhenotypeStereotype by judging]].
