Fudêncio e Seus Amigos (lit. Fudêncio and his friends) is an adult-targeted Brazilian animated series. The series was created by Thiago Martins, Marco Pavão and Flávia Boggio for the now-extinct MTV Brasil. A total of six seasons featuring 179 episodes were produced and aired in Brazil from August 23rd, 2005 to August 25th, 2011. A movie was also planned, but never produced. [1]
After MTV Brasil ended in 2013, the series can only be watched through the internet, although some episodes are not available anywhere, with their existence only being known by episode lists. There are four lost episodes in Season 2, twelve in Season 3, two in Season 4 and two in Season 5, totalizing twenty lost episodes overall. Most of the titles are based on puns, wordplay or rhymes, and thus can be difficult to translate.
The non-official YouTube channel [Fudêncio e Seus Amigos] has collected every episode available on the internet (including some that weren't on YouTube before) from September 2017 to March 2018.
Plot
The series takes place in an elementary school, featuring a group of 9-year old friends studying in a fourth-grade class with a strict teacher, who often distributes "negative points" for her students. The characters include Fudêncio, a misbehaved plastic toy child, Conrado, an intelligent and savvy but extremely unlucky persimmon, Funérea, a depressed smoker goth, Zé Maria, a flamboyant trans girl, Safeno, a sick boy with several diseases, and Popoto, a mentally challenged 36-year old man who has repeated fourth grade for decades.
Although the school is the main setting, the kids have adventures in several other places, such as each other's houses and countless school trips. Usually, Conrado ends up arrested or otherwise in an unfortunate situation (often, but not always, unfairly), while Fudêncio gets the good ending, when he has done something bad or nothing at all.
