Fudêncio e Seus Amigos (lit. Fudêncio and his friends) is a Brazilian adult animated sitcom created by Thiago Martins, Marco Pavão and Flávia Boggio for MTV Brasil.
The plot consists on adult-themed, intentionally shocking but funny stories involving a group of five 9 years-old school friends including a punk boy who wears no clothes, a politically correct but extremely unlucky fruit-boy, a drug-addicted depressed girl and a witty transsexual girl. Fudêncio e Seus Amigos became popular among Brazilian youngsters for a short period for its gallows humour style and cameos from various personalities.[1]
A total of six seasons featuring 179 episodes was produced and directly aired in Brazil from August 23, 2005 to August 25, 2011.[2]
Characters
- Fudêncio - Sarcastic, macabre, cynical, shameless. Fudêncio is far from being an exemplary hero. In any normal school, this little boy with spikes on his head would be in the boardroom. Fudêncio loves rock. Fudêncio is acclaimed as a hero, even with his vocabulary summed up to "mimimi mimi" (which everyone understands perfectly, since each beat is a word). Always doing better than Conrado in everything, Fudêncio has already been a pilot, army general, MTV VJ, political revolutionary, etc. (Original Voice by Thiago Martins.)
- Conrad Khaki - One of the main characters of Fudêncio and His Friends, his head is a persimmon that people often mistakenly believe to be a tomato. He can be considered a complete magnet of all misfortunes in existence. Conrad is 9 years old, and is the son of a tomato with an orange, and most of the time is confused by a tomato. To make his public school student worse, Fudêncio constantly fills the bag of poor Conrado, who most often tries to get his rights or ends up doing something politically correct, which is mistakenly interpreted by various characters , like Lieutenant Kevin Costa, who always calls him "Damn Reggae Youth!". Conrad is hopelessly in love with Zezé Maria, who is either a crossdresser or a transgender girl. Conrad knows about this, but that does not stop him from loving him/her, regardless of whether Zezé Maria is a boy or girl. Compared to the other characters, Conrad is the only character who knows how to differentiate good from evil. (original voice of Marco Pavão from 2005-2008 and Felipe Solari from 2008-2011).
- Funérea - This little girl hates everything and everyone. She presented a talk show on MTV, Misfortune with Funérea, and interviewed people like Di Ferrero, Ratinho, Marcelo Taz, Tatá Werneck, MariMoon, Dani Calabresa, Fofão, Christian Pior, André Vasco and Mallu Magalhães. She was interviewed by Ronnie Von on All Her Own. (Original Voice by Flávia Boggio.)
- Zezé Maria - Although regarded as a young transgender girl with a strongly masculine voice, it has never been clear whether Zeze Maria is a boy or a girl, although in several episodes he/she is only a crossdresser with long blond hair. But all this has little importance in the universe of Fudêncio, especially for Conrado, who ignores this small detail and nourishes a great passion for her.
- Popoto Conceição Massa Gordinho - No one knows for sure the true age of Popoto. The fact that he's doing 4th grade for the eighth time helps to suppose that chubby is a little older than his friends. But if it depends on your "quickness" of reasoning, you will do 4th grade a few more times, maybe forever, and also, it is questionable how he came in 4th grade. In one episode, it is revealed that he is 34 years old, in another show that Popoto has been alive since prehistory and is immortal along with Fudêncio. Popoto always wears a shirt of Che Guevara and is a personage who loves to give many laughs, always after that something speaks, it lives blending the pants besides of the same in some episodes to be fond of feces and still has a tycoon uncle. (Original voice of Thiago Martins.)
- Safeno - The name itself already gives the hint. Safeno does not have very strong health. Instead of the lunchbox, he walks to and fro with his inseparable serum. But the heart, the liver, and the gut, and all the rest of the organs, always precarious, do not prevent this nice little boy from being part of the adventures of Fudencio.
- Yoshiro Shishiro "Neguinho" da Silva - A black boy who is known for almost always being the target of some racial prejudice. Despite his young age, his voice is as serious as a singer of classical music - more precisely in a baritone tone. In his family, all his relatives are Japanese but he claims not to be adopted and his parents say the same. In an episode in which the families of the class were presented, his family appears next to the taxi driver who serves them, who is also black, which leads everyone to believe that he is the true father of Neguinho. This is the least profanity character in the class. Neguinho has a brother named Sensaku (a phonetic pun with "no bag") who does not speak Portuguese.
- Professor Maria Cudi Ampola - Better known as Professor Cudi, she is the primary teacher of the majority of the children, students of José Mojica Marins. His main passion is to distribute negative points during class. But Fudêncio knows how to deceive this teacher so well that he became his favorite pupil. Bordão: "Conrado, negative point for you!". (Original Voice by Marta Ferreira.)
- Officers - Two incompetent policemen working in a police station near the primary school, who frequently arrested Conrado for unfair reasons in the earlier episodes.
- Peruíbe de Mongaguá - It is a young version of Gérson, the Brazilian who wants to take advantage in everything. He loves planning methods to take advantage of others' problems by promising help - mostly his schoolmates - luckily not recognized as interference in drawing. He is in love with Malu Mongolians, but she always rejects him. Bordão: "So, if you're going to die, can you get some new toys for me ?!" (Original voice of Marco Peacock.)
- Baltazar Barata - Although he is the tutor of the devilish Fudêncio, Baltazar Barata is a fellow beyond understanding and educated. He is also endowed with irresistible charm and chivalry, and is perhaps the only cockroach worshiped by women. So much so that parent-school meetings are the most popular among girls.
