Flippy Doggenbottom[1] is a dog NPC Toon who is located in Mickey Toon Hall in the Toontown Central playground. As president of the Toon Council, he governs Toontown in many ways. This includes hosting special parties, organizing grand openings, giving out prizes for Toontown contests, and revealing upcoming events and features.
First seen in the Toontorial, Flippy will introduce and instruct Toons to use SpeedChat and SpeedChat Plus. Later, he will assign ToonTasks to help new Toons learn the basics of the game. After Toons get done with every ToonTask, they will be sent to Flippy to receive their final Bossbot Cog suit part.
SOS Toon[]
Flippy is also an SOS Toon that Toons may have to rescue in the Vice President battle. Completing the battle and rescuing him will give them two of his SOS card, which is a 5-star Toon-Up SOS card.
As with all all-Toon Toon-Up Gags, the healing points will be divided evenly to all Toons in battle.
- 136 laff points to one Toon
- 68 laff points to two Toons
- 45 laff points to three Toons
- 34 laff points to four Toons

Quotes[]
“ | Greetings! As a new resident of Toontown, you'll be expected to perform some important duties - like throwing pies, blasting out of cannons, leaping through portable holes, and engaging in hilarious cartoon adventures of every spot and stripe! Toontown operates on fun, friends, and falling pianos, and we wouldn't have any of those things without YOU!
But be warned, life in Toontown isn't ALL laughs. Evil business-loving robots called Cogs have arrived in Toontown, with the goal of turning it into a boring metropolis of grim buildings and humorless machinery. But the Toons are fighting back! Cogs can't take a joke, so if you hit them with a pie, spray them with a seltzer bottle, or make them slip on a banana peel, you can bust them up ... literally! On behalf of the Toon Council, here is your first ToonTask: Have fun in Toontown! |

Trivia[]
- Flippy is the iconic promotional character for Toontown Online.
- The desktop icon for the launcher is Flippy's face.
- Flippy replies to some of the comments on Toontown's blog posts.
- On his trading card, he is wearing a suit, although he wears ordinary clothes in the real game.
- There is also a picture on a Toon Council blog post where Flippy is wearing accessories.
- Also on his trading card, he is seen cutting a red ribbon, which marks the opening of Disney's Toontown Online.
- The drawings of him on the main website have him colored deep blue rather than his normal aqua color in the game.
- The drawings also sometimes portray his shirt as only having one stripe in the middle as opposed to two.
- There is a painting of him in Mickey Toon Hall doing the Bored emotion.
- Flippy's clothes can be bought (shirt) in Donald's Dock and his pants can be bought in Donald's Dreamland.
- His size is slightly larger than the middle Toon size (not short legs, not long legs, not fat, not tall torso) so that Toons may not copy his looks perfectly, and possibly also so that he can be tall enough to look over his desk in the newer Mickey Toon Hall.
- In the Toontorial, he helps Toons on using the SpeedChat and the introduction of SpeedChat Plus.
- He is the third dog NPC to be encountered in the Toontorial and the game. The first is Tutorial Tom and the second is HQ Harry.
- Flippy has a knock-knock joke door on Polar Place "Knock, knock." "Who's there?", "Fozzie", "Fozzie hundredth time, my name is Flippy"
- Before doodles are discovered, he lost his and goes to Minnie's Melodyland. Minnie Mouse said that she spotted Flippy's doodle somewhere in Tenor Terrace and the doodle hides in a ditch just near Anna's Cruises Travel Agency. Somewhat later, Flippy's doodle returns to him along with thousands of different doodles.
- Flippy also has a "Trading Card" called "Flippy's Many Faces," which shows him doing various emotes.
- In the Japanese version of Toontown Online, Flippy's artwork has a tall head instead of the small head.
- Flippy was redesigned from a brown dog to an aqua dog.
- Flippy's last name, "Doggenbottom", originates from a feature that was scrapped at an early stage in Toontown Online's development. The cut feature would have allowed for Toons to have a variety of different body shapes and parts based on different animal species. For instance, this feature would have allowed for a Toon to have a dog head mixed with the body and/or feet of a duck (or any other implemented species). Flippy's design is a dog head mixed with the lower torso of a dog, thus giving him the last name "Doggenbottom". [3]
- In 2009, Disney held a contest titled "URock 2" where users could upload homemade music videos to the URock 2 contest website in order to have a chance to win the contest. On the website that was used for this contest, Flippy (along with several other Disney characters from non-Toontown properties) had his own music video uploaded where he could be seen dancing to the song "One and the Same" by Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez.[4] This music video could be seen in the section of the website labeled "Watch Videos", under the tab labeled "Secret Videos".
- On this website, Flippy's age is listed as being eleven years old. [5] Whether this is his canonical age, or just an age made up for the URock 2 website is unknown.
- The music video features Flippy having his hands have moving index fingers instead of the usual mitten gloves Toons normally have. It's unknown if this was a cancelled update for the game or a model specifically made for the video.
- Flippy's music video, along with the other Disney characters' music videos, was listed as having a ranking of 4 stars.
