Ivan the Unbearable

[MetaMagnus31]

Does this remind anyone else of Asterix?

[warningfellow]

I like this short so why cant they make a show where after the short ends the network wants the viewers calls to know if they can turn this short into a series i mean why cant they make a series like that so that we can have a show based on this short for example

[TwilightAngel35]

ha you make trolls look so awesome xD fantastic

[slashermaster28]

5:50- Wait, I thought humans weren't allowed. What's a human doing as their secretary?

[OxyFizz]

@slashermaster28 Maybe she had the hiccups, too.

[Karekristensson]

Would have loved to see THIS as a cartoon show.

I just couldn't help but to laugh at all the crazy things happening.

Especially when the Troll Guard was trying to cover Ivan's mouth and the hiccup went through his arm and out his mouth. XD

[taintedtapper]

So, which a-hole picked Fanboy and Chum Chum and Adventure Time (i have no opinions on this though. its sort of decent)? I'm going to hunt him down.

[glowworm2]

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

[TheNicolascap]

jajaja andrew dickman :P

[SwagbucksStation]

WOW. You are an amazing animator!

[MilesDaFoo616]

6 people exploded from the curse

[ShmadamMasterMan77]

ah, vikings, the epitome of awesome

[Biznatch255]

Andy Dick has a youtube?!

[Zerony31]

Dang it what is that song at the end!

[airman4100]

IVAN= troll king

PROBLEM?

[lordneo256]

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

[GreycatRademenes]

That was AWESOME :3>

Great Work Andy!

[DustInTheWind64]

This deserves a full length show! Great job!

[nejustinas32]

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

[san9afis]

Awesome cartoon, loved it !

[LaNekra]

amazing!

[Sairex666]

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

[golemssoul]

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

[fuzzydude64]

This is way better than most of today's cartoons. :l

[KalasMibari]

Instant Subscriber :D

[Yonin777]

That was pretty dang sweet.

[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.

[furseisekilulz]

you don't get to direct your own show? :|

[ICamXYZ]

You are awesome!

[srmoogle]

Awesome, pal!

[SkieBluFox]

Goddamn, that was awesome, and quite funny. :D

[dAMike2468]

Now that I look back at this cartoon, I kinda feel bad for thinking it's nothing special. Compared to all the cheap shit on TV now, it's sad to see animation with this much effort put into it to be passed up.

Better luck next time I guess, huh Andrew? :3

[BizzarreProductions]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay something that came out in the last three years that's actually decent yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

[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 :)

[Manonthe3up]

2:38 HA! A plague joke! It's funny because a third of Europe died...

[Strelok3700]

Ivan got Troll'd

[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!

[boktai10]

just wait wat if this becomes a real cartoon like chalk zone an fairly oddparents if it becomes a full cartoon ur rollin in the dough man

[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!

[AndrewDickman]

@Porygonluva I'd love to see a screenshot of that

[Porygonluva]

@AndrewDickman Sure, I'll try and get one.

[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.

[13scarfare13]

@Porygonluva random cartoons rock, my favourite is: ''Thom Cat''

[lozfoe444]

Good thing my iPod let's me five star vids :D

[marlonbrando01]

my uncle is the voice of ivan

[dominicj1991]

This reminds me of Looney Toons

[UltimateThanos]

Holy Shit! You made a cartoon for T.V.?! This is great! You're on your way Andy!

[MysteryAC]

I'd give this 5 stars if Youtube didn't destroy that concept entirely.

So Thumbs up are in order. :D

[13mungoman13]

The animation is fantastic, the voice acting is amazing, and the humour is incredible.

If it was a show, I'd watch it.

[jumpszilla]

Awesome awesome short. =]

[miguelit7]

i loved it was awesome funny and cool

[The9813]

co-producer:andrew dickman. this is made by him :D

[0ChaotixRay]

very nice work of annimation, n the whole thing was very entertaining n it has lols, good job

[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)

[TheVooDooTaco]

same seting diferent stories and characters.

[AFoolishMonkey]

This is amazing.

[MetaruNakkurusu]

I really want this to be a full series, it's awesome.

[FreDaN92]

Same here, Ivan is funny and vikings are awsome!

[DarknessbUnnie]

The animation in this is superb! It makes me wonder why people opt for more Flash-style movement and designs when we can have great stuff like this. :P

[geekgo4]

@DarknessbUnnie: It's cheaper and easier.

[Shisafire]

Andrew, how did u make this animation?

[Cartoonruf]

He's really in hot water now. :l

[ThomServeaux]

That was was freakin' hilarious! What can I say, I was AWD!  *rimshot*

[Lennyohh]

This was just plain awesome and epic. This really deserves to be its own series.

[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

[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!

[RabidWaLLY06]

Another thing I forgot to add: I may watch Nick again for this, should it become an actual series, not enough good cartoons nowadays.

[KingOfNeon]

Finally got to see it and as many people say," its weird to see your characters animated".

Keep up the good awesome work!

[VromNath]

Thank you so much for loading!

Man... I still can't believe I missed watching this one year ago due to moving.

[TheMadProphet]

Awesome! I've been waiting to see this cartoon! It reminds me of Earthworm Jim a little.

Very Groovy :3

[Denji]

It's so weird seeing your characters in ACTION. O:

This was incredible! And Ivan is so adorable! c:

[alaniader]

Laughed a whole lot when watching this!

[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...

[Shadowjugement]

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

[t3hOutlaw]

2003, good times :)

[TheHelldragon]

It's so weird to see your stuff animated, but still very cool and manly. Let's hope more opportunities come up in the future!

[TheNewTerrific20]

This is what I call...AWesomeD!

You should do one for Mary Ann Tigress!

[stinkoman2x6]

seconded!

wonder what she would sound like...

[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

[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.

[ZapmanX]

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

[FrobmanAKATillman]

I liked that. Particularly the art style and the inside of the office (just something about seeing normal everyday things mixed with uncommon settings and characters always appealing to me).

Good luck with getting this Green lighted!

[rebirthangel]

That was pretty funny.

Although Trolls don't need health insurance, because they regenerate any damage they take. The only way to kill a troll is with fire...come on boy, haven't you ever played D&D before? :)

[AndrewDickman]

@rebirthangel Good thing the Trolls had Standards and Practices on their side.

[UltimateThanos]

@rebirthangel I thought sunlight killed trolls by turning them into stone?

[rebirthangel]

@UltimateThanos That's The Hobbit your thinking of. I was thinking more on the lines of D&D...or if there's an option that'll let you have trolls turn to stone, then I'm all ears. :)

[stiant06]

Darn funny, but the setting looks like Asterix which is in France.

Vikings with mountains would be Norway or Sweden. But cool movie, I liked it.

[Darmst]

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

[Retro7]

Ah yeah I remember this, fine animation dude. Though thought the gag with the troll guard took up too much of the short's time and you kinda missed some opportunities for some hijinks inside the office. But meh, its your toon. Great work to you all and all the folks that worked on it. Hope you get a shot at another one sometime in the near future.

[klakmuf1]

It's more fuckin' awesome than spongebob !

[bloodrunsclear]

Reminded me of the best of Animaniacs :)

[AADudley]

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

That's really sweet.

[munnypantz]

I don't think this would make a good show. I'd rather watch another CGI bastardization of some crap movie franchise. This is to original.

[AndrewDickman]

hahaha, I see what you did there

[WhiteWings88]

Oh heavens, this is funny (though I was caught a little off guard by the fire extinguisher the mother had) =D

Poor troll guard. I love your explosion effects through this, especially that last one hehe

[shinkosai]

Looks to me like the jokes involved too much thinking, kids these days are soo stupid they want jokes on a plate.

You got the talent for animation though andrew I've known that for a long time and it's a crime if you don't ever make anything like this again

[stinkoman2x6]

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

[donaldoanka]

this was awesome,

Great Work Dickman

[JediAnnSolo]

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!

[DBoy2029]

Um, I'm in EST, so what time would it be on?

[Mveculous]

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

[Blackwater154]

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

[KeeSomething]

This is better than any children's cartoon on TV now.

[cerberus144]

What he said!

[dragozai]

seriously this is awesome ^^

[AMTRAX91]

Lol i remember this

[FrankRaccoon]

Wow, this was great! The animation was smooth, the voices were good, and the overall plot was genuinely funny. Great job. =)

[dbhkyle]

My god that was awesome! 8D

That was worth the wait, it was really good.

[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....?

[johntheechidna1]

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

[Ziminiar]

The following message will be in all caps.

I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS. I WOULD DEMAND YOU MAKE MORE BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT IT REQUIRES MORE THAN JUST SCREAMING PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATED THE DOWNRIGHT LOONEY TOONY ASPECT OF IT ALL.

The previous message was in all caps.

[Taydar]

Very cool. Well done.

[SwordfighterRed]

Excellent work, AWD.

[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!

[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

[TheSpamus]

Brilliant!

[vactrox]

Love it! hope you get picked!

[BenjaminHayden]

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

[GuineaPigDan]

I didn't know you've worked for Frederator Studios, Andy! I've actually been in contact with the associate producer, Carrie Miller, back in October/November for a company research project for my Career in Animation/VFX class. What's it like to work at Frederator Studios?

[Cyberlink420]

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

[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.

[JosephCollins]

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

[JosephCollins]

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!

[JosephCollins]

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.

[AndrewDickman]

This short was heavily influenced by Asterix Comics.

[iamtheblackmage]

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

I LOVE slapstick cartoons.

[gepetto887]

Hrm. It was good, but I can't quite say that it deserves to be picked up, since I haven't seen the competition.

[sotijas]

awesome

[blacksesamecandies]

awesome work!

[H2O589]

Here's hoping he gets his own series.

[MegaPatron]

heeey that was really good man! nice that it was shown on TV :D
