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 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.

• Aesop Amnesia: Despite being defeated and learning alcohol is bad, LeTony becomes evil again in the second film and begins having Ecstasy parties.
• Alcohol Is Poison
• Ambiguously Gay: Tony has a couple Ho Yay instances.
• Anvilicious: Invoked intentionally for comedy. A notable example is when Favio tells Tony that drug money could be be spent on better things like Social Security and designer clothing.
• Anticlimax Boss: LeTony and MaCavio merge into their ultimate being... but are so unable to function that they instantly fall over and are defeated.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: "Who the hell do you think I am KICK! Hands off my beloved little brother PUNCH! You're not supposed to be in this scene HEADBUTT!

  • In A Powerful Foe, the the town watch comes from nowhere and scares away Bububbaba.
• Non Sequitur Scene: In one scene of A Powerful Foe, Tony approaches Favio to warn him about the presence of alcohol at the party - with a sword sticking out of his back and obvious signs of pain. Once the camera switches angles the sword is completely gone and never mentioned again.

• Breaking the Fourth Wall
• Call Back: In A Powerful Foe, Tony flashes back to the drunken party in the first movie after receiving an invite to go to a new party.
  • In the same movie, Tony also brings out his phone again to threaten to tell the police. Just like last time, that completely fails.
  • In The Mathematics Movie, Tony introduces himself as an advocater against drugs and alcohol, which is a Call Back to the earlier movies.

  • Dr. Lucifer shows us his Ultimate Fist Beam in the Mathematics Movie.
• Catch Phrase: Tony has "Tony Time!"
• Captain Oblivious: Tony fails to notice the loud noises, flashing lights, and shaking ground which accompanies the town alarm.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Tony is a Large Ham, makes many Funny Background Events, and apparently drinks from a toilet with a straw.
  • LeTony also suffers from this. It's a side effect of his alcohol/drug usage.
• Comically Missing the Point: When MaCavio looks at Tony's phone, he sees that it says "message sent," and wonders what that means.
  • After J.E.M. Stone tells Tony that it is useless to try to fight Dr. Lucifer, Tony interprets it as him saying to not give up.

  • Tony also makes many odd faces and movements whenever he's not giving a line.

• Getting Crap Past the Radar: Surprisingly, the perverted joke in the first movie's the drinking party didn't get caught by the teacher.
