Flavio the Goat (simply titled as "Flavio") is an American animated short film created by 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 this one wasn't picked up to become a series.

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 Leonardo da Vinci.

The full video is posted on YouTube uploaded by Mike himself. Oh and here's the production blog to find out more about Flavio, his inventions, etc. The aforementioned link to his website also contain information.

Tropes used in Flavio the Goat include:

  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?"
  • Bumbling Sidekick: Mr. Frank the lion.
  • Catch Phrase: Flavio's "Good/Bad Guy List" lines.
    • For you, Mr. Frank? "Genius..."
  • Crazy Prepared: He can get his inventions from out of his back.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: Well...it only ended with Flavio catering the fund-raising marathon with one of his inventions[2] which made his boss really proud of him, thus earning him the key to the restaurant.
  • Emotion Bomb: Word of God 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.
  • Expy: Word of God has also stated that some have commented that the short's characters are almost similar to SpongeBob. Flavio to SpongeBob, Mr. Frank to Patrick and Bossman to Mr. Krabs.
  • Funny Animal
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Guess who.
  • Gratuitous Italian
  • Gross Up Close-Up: A bird's vomit on Mr. Frank's head.

  Flavio: Love from above, huh?

  1. ↑ By the way, he's a blue(-ish?) elephant.
  2. ↑ (the Pasta On a Stick which he doubted earlier)
