—Theme song

Fudêncio e Seus Amigos (lit. Fuckerson and his friends) is a Brazilian adult animated sitcom created by Thiago Martins, Marco Pavão and Flávia Boggio for MTV Brasil.

The series takes place in an elementary school, featuring a group of 9-year old friends studying in a fourth-grade class with Cudi, a strict teacher who often distributes "negative points" for her students. The characters include Fudêncio, a misbehaved plastic doll, Conrado, an intelligent and savvy but extremely unlucky persimmon, Funérea, a depressed smoker goth, Zé Maria, a flamboyant and witty trans girl, Safeno, a sick boy with several diseases, and Popoto, a mentally challenged, 36-year old Fat Idiot 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. The series is famous for its Black Comedy and cameos from various personalities. In 2008, two DVDs were released containing nineteen episodes from the first season.

A total of six seasons featuring 186 episodes were produced and aired in Brazil from August 23, 2005 to August 25, 2011. After September 30, 2013, the show's official network MTV Brasil was discontinued permanently, and the only way to watch the series is through the internet (besides the DVDs, which only have a few episodes). Eighteen episodes were completely lost, with the only remaining trace for most of them being the title and plot.

In October 2022, the YouTube channel "Conrado Cristão" released an unofficial revival of the show called simply "Fudêncio Reboot", using the Season 6 designs (traced over, of course), and an entirely new dub.

Tropes:

• 15 Minutes of Fame: In "Animação Animada", Conrado creates his own cartoon named Super Família Caqui (Super Persimmon Family) and suddenly becomes extremely famous, being the most successful artist in the country and even having Mauricio de Sousa, the creator of Monica's Gang, work as his artist. He also has his own studio building and doesn't go to school anymore, because he's already successful and rich. His career ends when Fudêncio makes a "revolution" in the animation industry, making all cartoons be in 1D (meaning they're now just basic lines), and Super Família Caqui becomes outdated and loses its fame, making the studio end.
• Abhorrent Admirer: Conrado to Zé Maria, to the point that he had to enter a club made for men to forget their unrequited crushes.
• Abusive Parents: Conrado's father is extremely rude to his son, who seems to fear him in several episodes.
• Adults Are Useless: The cops and the teachers do more harm than good, especially for Conrado.
• Accent Upon The Wrong Syllable: Zé Maria's Verbal Tic, especially with the word "gente" (people).
• Accidental Marriage: In "Folclore no Caqui dos Outros é Refresco", Caqui Pererê ends up getting married to Conrado because the latter wanted to enslave him, and according to Baltazar, that's the closest to legal slavery they can get.
• Actor Allusion: In "Champa Avonts", Conrado mentions several professions he considers inferior to being a party manager, one of them being "MTV VJ". At that time, he was voiced by Felipe Solari, who was a MTV VJ himself in real life. Funnily, an earlier episode (where he wasn't voiced by Felipe yet) was entirely about Conrado wanting to be a VJ at MTV and auditioning for it.
• Adam Westing: In "Prástica pro Provo", Conrado goes through a plastic surgery and gets Felipe Solari's head, who, as mentioned above, was his voice actor at the time. He is absolutely horrified after finding it out.
• Adults Dressed as Children: Juca Esfirra Aberta wears a ginger wig and a red cap to look like a kid, although he obviously isn't one.
• Agony of the Feet: Safeno gets elephantiasis after arriving at Acre in "Guerra Transada", getting his feet severely swollen.
• Aerith and Bob: Some characters have strange and unusual names such as Fudêncio, Funérea, Popoto, Peruíbe and Safeno, while others have regular names such as Conrado, Zé Maria, Kevin and Baltazar.
• Affectionate Nickname: Zé Maria has these for most of her classmates: "Fu" or "Fufu" to both Fudêncio and Funérea, "Pops" for Popoto, "Peru" or "Pepê" for Peruíbe", and "Cocô" for Conrado (which means "poop", although he doesn't mind it and doesn't treat it as an Embarrassing Nickname).
• The Alcatraz: The prision the kids visit during their school trip in "Intercâmbio Criminal", then have to escape from it themselves (except for Conrado, who, unsurprisingly, just gets arrested there as always).
• Alliterative Name: Conrado Caqui and Baltazar Barata. In the latter's case, it's done because the character is a reference to classic cartoons.
• All Men Are Perverts: In "O Que Está Acontecendo, Conrado?" the male kids (except for Conrado) are swooning over naked women in a magazine after hitting puberty. Then, Peruíbe shows a NSFW photo of a girl to Conrado to make him get a boner; after he does, Safeno gets one as well and claims his is bigger, making the other boys admire it. Zé Maria and Funérea, respectively, are disgusted when they see these scenes, although ironically, Zé Maria acts the same way about men.
• All Part of the Show: In "Teatro de Cu é Rola", a cannibal ninja shows up during the school plays' presentation. The two critics think it's Fudêncio acting, and when he attacks and kills one of them, the other thinks it's "interaction with the public" before he's eaten as well. The next day, Cudi congrats Fudêncio for his "acting" and scolds Conrado for stabbing the ninja and spilling blood all over the stage.
• Alpha Bitch: Zé Maria is one sometimes, being even more unpleasant and cynic than Funérea.
• Alternate Reality Episode: "Chavonildo", "O Pequeno Príncipe" and "As Fedelhas Superpoderosas".
• Always Someone Better: No matter how good Conrado is at anything, Fudêncio will do it better. At least for the other characters.
• Amateur Film-Making Plot: "Piratas do Carimbo", where Conrado wants to become a successful film director and creates his own film, using his friends from school as the cast and crew. After he casts Fudêncio as director, the film is reduced to a nonsensical and incoherent Clip Show, although the entire town loves it anyways, buying pirated copies from Fudêncio himself and Funérea.
• Ambidextrous Sprite: Due to the characters being Flash objects, and the show having Limited Animation, this happens often; notably with Delcídio's bangs, which always cover the eye farthest from his face.
• Amnesia Episode: "Quem Tem Memória Não Lembra". Everyone at school begins to lose some or all of their memories, which turns out to be caused due to Fudêncio destroying tapes of several previous episodes of the show, so he can completely erase it from existence and participate in a new one.
• Amusing Injuries: Conrado getting hurt by Fudêncio, such as in "Boi nos Aires", where one of Conrado's two only relevant appearances has him getting hit between a door repeatedly by Fudêncio. In "Foi-se o Martelo", all of his classmates punch, slap and hit him for being accused of being a communist, complete with an Anvil on Head.
• Anachronism Stew: The show is supposed to take place after the turn of the millenium, but several episodes feature Brazilian currencies of The '80s and The '90s being utilized.
• Animation Bump:
  • In "Baltazar é um Barato", there's a scene where the show is made into the art style of 20's-30's cartoons.
  • Sometimes, the show features animations that are more fluid than the show's usual cut-out animation. For example, two tongues french-kissing in "Beijaço" and "Paixonite", and women shaking their butts in "Pan de Ramos", "Semana Fashion Week", "Bola Gato" and "Folclore no Caqui dos Outros é Refresco".
• Animal Lover: Conrado is one in "Tá Tudo Cagado", feeling pity for the lonely giant tortoise who's the Last of His Kind. When his friends start to harrass it, even putting plastic straws in its noise, he becomes furious, pulling up a sword and threatening to hurt anyone who hurts the tortoise.
• Animation Evolution: In Seasons 4 and 5, due to the show getting more animators, the characters have more movement and animation in them, especially in the latter season. After the redesign in Season 6, the animation gets more stylized and has less "squash and stretch" than the earlier ones.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking:
  • The news reporter often does this when listing a criminal's doings. For example, one of the "crimes" is "composing one of the World Cup songs".
  • In "Extraterrestre", Funérea wonders why, of all places on Earth, an alien would choose to visit the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais when all it has is "mud, cow shit, and mineiros" (the inhabitants of Minas Gerais).
• Art Evolution:
  • The backgrounds started as sketchy, used few colors and the outlines were poorly placed around the colors. In later seasons, the new sceneries became more detailed and colored. Some of the pre-existing backgrounds were heavily changed, while others only changed the colors and minor details.
  • The series switched from SD to HD resolution in 2008, which meant all the backgrounds also had to be appropriately reproportionated.
  • In Season 6, the collor pallete slightly changes and the children all become a bit taller, suggesting they aged a bit. In "Conrado Maneiro", the reporter mentions Conrado is the coolest guy in high school, which implies the students are now teenagers in this season.
• Art-Style Dissonance: The show's art style is very cutesy for a show like this.
• Artifact Title: From Season 5 onwards, after Fudêncio became Out of Focus and the episodes started being about the other characters. In fact, if it weren't from Fudêncio already being a known character before the show, in Seasons 5 and 6, this cartoon could as well be called "Peruíbe e seus Amigos".
• Artistic License – Biology: In "Quem Vegeta Sempre Alcança", a vegetarian woman states that vegetarians do not eat meat or any animal derivatives. The latter part only applies to vegans, not to vegetarians. Made worse by the fact that it's a major plot point.
• Ascended Extra: Peruíbe was originally created as just another filler kid. By Seasons 5 and 6, he appears in every single episode, and has lines in all but one^note The one absence being because his voice actor was unavailable for recording and they didn't want to replace him.
• Asian Speekee Engrish: The chinese people on the show speak with a heavy accent and in third person, reffering to themselves only by "Chinese".
• Ass Shove: Conrado is forced to do this in two episodes:
  • In "Tutti Fruta", Popoto starts farting music in a music festival, and the audience loves it. To outclass him, Conrado wants to fart music even better, so Dr. Dráuzio gives him a transgenic turnip that he has to keep inside his butt until the next day of the festival, retaining all of his farts until then. He does succeed and the audience likes it too, but when Popoto shows up again, he's farting a whole song, which makes him win the contest.
  • In "Reabilitação", the kids are forced to go to a rehabilitation clinic for being addicted to Pokemon cards. They keep playing at the rehab until the counselors take their cards away, so Fudêncio and Peruíbe demand Conrado goes to a newsstand, buys all of the cards, and sneaks them into the clinic by shoving every single card up his ass, so the counselors won't notice when inspecting him. He does manage to shove all the cards, albeit with lots of effort and having trouble to breath and walk, but by the time he goes back to the clinic, the other kids have already gotten over their addiction and left the clinic.
• Author Appeal: Episodes written by Marcos P. Marques often have references to Sex and the City in them. Whenever an episode mentions the series, he always is credited as a writer; none of the episodes from Seasons 1 to 3 (before he joined the team) mentioned the show at all.
• Awful Wedded Life: Parodied in "Folclore no Caqui dos Outros é Refresco". When Conrado finds a persimmon creature named "The Caqui Pererê", he wants to enslave the latter, but Baltazar tells him that slavery has long been illegal, and thus, they'll have to adapt to a legal form to slavery. The solution: Conrado and Caqui Pererê get married, with the latter dressed as a bride.
• The Bad Guy Wins: Fudêncio wins almost Once an Episode.
• Bait-and-Switch: In an episode where all the kids get to wish something, Zé Maria asks for something that she wasn't born with, but wishes she had. It seems like she's asking for a vagina, but it's actually a pink dressing table.
• Bathroom Stall of Angst: In "Loira do Cocô", Zé Maria loses a beauty pageant against Funérea and goes to the bathroom to grief. She gets angry and kicks a toilet seat three times while swearing, thus accidentally summoning the "Poop Blonde".
• Bewildering Punishment: Conrado getting arrested because of something that wasn't his fault or he didn't know he was doing.
• Beach Episode: "Banana Mouche", "Tá Tudo Cagado" and "Amor de Verão".
• Beyond the Impossible: Every day, the devil appears in a metro to realize people's wishes. The hour when he shows up? 6:66.
• Big Ball of Violence: They show up a lot, and over them, there are words with Portuguese slangs for "beating up".
• Big Ol' Unibrow:
  • In the episode "Prenda Prendida Prendada", these people are considered as minorities and thus, the school organizes a money fund to help them. Conrado happens to ring the bell to two houses whose inhabitants have unibrows; they both get offended at being considered minorities and punch Conrado.
  • One of the background students has a unibrow.
• Birthday Episode: Conrado turns 9 years old in "O Aniversário do Soldado Braice". The other kids prefer to celebrate the birthday of a solitary soldier, who's a friend of Kevin Costa.
• Biting-the-Hand Humor: There are several references to MTV, especially negative.
• Bittersweet Ending: Subverted in "Malhando o Cucuruto". Conrado spends most of the episode working out to get a buff head, which is considered a beauty standard, so he asks for Fudêncio for help, but it doesn't work and they end up fighting. In the end, Conrado gets a big, worked head, that impresses everyone... Except it was done by Fudêncio spanking him hard. It turns into just a Downer Ending when Kevin Costa shows up to arrest Conrado for stealing things to give to Fudêncio, as bribes to help him have a worked head.
• Boot Camp Episode: "Guerra Transada", where the kids are all drafted to a war due to actual soldiers being too busy elsewhere.
• Bottle Episode: Particularly in the earlier seasons, many episodes which don't involve school trips take place only at the school.
• Bowdlerization: Parodied in "Ahhtata Rabuzac". A small clip shows how more boring the show would be without swearing; all the swear words are replaced by Gosh Dang It to Heck!-level insults.
• Building of Adventure: School José Mojica Marins, the main setting of the series.
• Brats with Slingshots: In "Pitoco de Guache", Fudêncio uses a slingshot to throw a ink bottle at Conrado's head.
• Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: In "Emorruidos", the leader of an emo band says that, before the band was started, he and his friends used to have fun, drink, and beat up prostitutes.
• By the Lights of Their Eyes: Used often. These also reveal that Popoto has crossed eyes under his bangs.
• Camp Gay: Vingativa, Delcídio, Zé Maria... Basically every gay character in the show.
• Camp Straight: Zé Maria's father is as effeminate as her, and seems like he's gay, but he actually has a wife.
• The Capital of Brazil Is Buenos Aires: A korean dictator in "Loira à Rodo" threatens to explode the capital of Brazil in case the characters didn't give him what he wanted... Except he thinks the capital of Brazil is Buenos Aires, so nobody minds it being destroyed, since it's not on their country. He's also arrested right away.
• Captain Obvious Reveal: In-Universe. In "Os Segredos da Peida", the titular soap opera has a twist in its final episode revealing that the main character, Maria da Peida, is not a woman but a man. All the spectators state that they knew it all along and it was obvious, with Kevin Costa even claiming the writers are uncreative, although it's not specified what pointed to it. The actors decide to improvise another twist to genuinely surprise the audience: Maria da Peida is not a woman or a man, she's a bush disguised as a person.
• Casino Episode: Aptly titled "Cassino". Conrado goes to one because he needs money to pay phone bills.
• Cast of Snowflakes: The adult characters, each having a different shape and design, unlike the children.
• Character Tics: Baltazar Barata ends most of his sentences with a "he, he".
• The Chew Toy: Conrado will always get the bad ending in the episodes, usually getting arrested unfairly.
  • Deconstructed in "Cotas de Cocotas". After being verbally abused by his father for not getting money for his poor family, he is thrown out. Conrado, now extremely upset, starts walking by a rainy street and looks at a rich couple dining by the window of a restaurant. He then proceeds to grief remembering all the bad things that happened to him in the previous episodes, to the point of crying. After that, Fudêncio steals his already empty money box.
• Chocolate Baby: While Neguinho is black, both his parents, as well as his brother, are asian, while his family's taxi driver is black like him. However, he claims several times that he is their biological child and that his mother didn't cheat.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: In the sixth season, the news anchor inexplicably disappears from the show and is replaced by Vingativa.
• Christmas Episode: "Especial de Natal" (which translates to Christmas Special), released on Christmas' Day 2007. In the episode, Fudêncio is told to become a nice boy by the devil himself. However, Conrado abuses of his kindness too much and starts being a prick to him, which leads Fudêncio to lose his temper and beat him up. The devil shows up again and says that it was justified and Conrado deserved it.
• Couch Gag: In every title card, after the narrator says the episode's name, he will say "Brazilian version:" and "Distribution:", mocking phrases that are said in brazilian dubs of cartoons. He says something about the episode or the work it's referencing.
• Continuity Reboot: An unofficial one, but still noteworthy; in 2022, a group of fans created an unofficial reboot of the show, which can be watched here.
• Class Trip: Was an extremely common theme on episodes until Season 4.
• Clip Show: "Ahhtata Rabuzac", the season 2 finale.
• Credits Gag: The opening credits always credit a fake "brazilian version" and "distribution" for the episodes, usually with a phrase or word related to a theme of the episode, or just random stuff.
• Cool Old Guy: Conrado's grandfather, "Vovô Marofa", is the leader of a drug cartel.
• Concert Episode: "URB-2". The kids go to the titular band's concert, and have lots of fun, except for Conrado, who passes out in the beggining due to emotion and only wakes up after the show's over.
• Courtroom Episode:
  • The lost episode "Ordem no Tribunal". In the episode, a school statue shows up destroyed and Fudêncio and Conrado are the main suspects; they are both taken to court.
  • "Olha Só O Que A Funérea Está Falando". In this episode, Funérea gets arrested for saying "ass" (the word had been prohibited by law in the previous day). Baltazar decides to take her to court and be her lawyer. In the end, she admits she only did it to waste public money.
• Covers Always Lie: Some title card drawings have nothing to do with the episode itself, especially because they only feature Fudêncio and Conrado (and rarely, a minor, irrelevant character). For example, the episode "Garota Maravilha" (lit. Wonder Girl) has Funérea trying as hard as she can to get killed, but her lack of fear makes her be mistaken for a superheroine. The title card has Fudêncio, as a doctor, showing Conrado, his patient, a full-body picture of him with a female anatomy, just because the title has the word "girl" in it.
• Cutaway Gag: Happened frequently in earlier seasons, almost always a pun. Neguinho was originally created specifically to do these.
• Comic-Book Time: Some early episodes place the show either in 2005 or 2006. However, there were four specials taking place in the 2010 World Cup. The episode "Lugar de Criança é na Casa Branca" is also shown to take place in 2009, and several episodes are based off of then-current events such as the Swine Flu, Influenza, Michael Jackson's death, and emo bands.
• Cute Bruiser: Neguinho, a little boy who can give a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to two grown men in a few seconds.
• Creator Provincialism: The series takes place in the Brazilian state of São Paulo and includes lots of references to Brazil.
• Decoy Protagonist: The first episode begins with a dialogue between Conrado and the narrator, and only in the end of the scene, Fudêncio shows up, and does nothing besides laugh.
• Department of Redundancy Department: The episode title "Semana Fashion Week" and the titular fashion show held in the episode, since "semana" means "week".
• Depending on the Writer:
  • Whether Zé Maria appreciates Conrado's affection for her or hates it. Also, Conrado himself doesn't even love Zé Maria in a few episodes.
  • Sometimes, Conrado completely loathes Fudêncio. Other times, they seem to just have a complicated friendship.
• Designated Girl Fight:
  • In "Karatê Cudi", Funérea and Zé Maria are the only females in the tournament and they fight each other.
  • Averted in "Intercâmbio Criminal". Both in the child inmates' and the students' respective Big Balls of Violence, all of them, whether boys and girls, participate. The aftermath of neither is seen.
• Designated Hero/Designated Villain: In-Universe. Fudêncio is treated as the good guy and Conrado, as the bad guy, even though it's obviously the other way around.
• Designated Victim: Kevin Costa and Cudi always punish Conrado, and in some occasions, they flat out admit they did it just for the heck of it.
• Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: The characters dance to the show's theme song in the end of "Baltazar é um Barato". It also plays when Fudêncio changes the TV channel in "Bala na Droga".
• Disproportionate Retribution:
  • Most of the times Conrado gets a negative point or gets arrested. In fact, he often didn't do anything wrong, or did the right thing to begin with.
  • In the episode where the gang visits a favela, a sign in a store reads "if you ask for change, you die".
• Drag Queen: The dimension "Caverna da Dregona" is inhabited entirely by them. Vingativa is the most notable example.
• Door-to-Door Episode:
  • "Prenda Prendida Prendada". Ends up being a "Shaggy Dog" Story since Fudêncio keeps stealing the gang's money.
  • The last regular Season 4 episode, "Doces ou Travessuras", where the kids go trick-or-treating around the town, though this time only Fudêncio and Funérea are seen doing it. Interestingly, it reuses several elements from the above episode.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: In the title card of "Cotas de Cocotas", Fudêncio paints his face orange to look like a persimmon (in the episode, persimmons are even presented as minorities). Conrado looks at him angrily and seems offended.
• Double-Meaning Title: Some of the episodes have them.
  • "Baltazar é um Barato" could mean both "Baltazar is a cockroach Guy" or "Baltazar is a cool guy". "Barato" isn't really an actual male form of "barata" (cockroach) and mostly is used as "cheap".
  • Similarly, there's "O Barato Que Dá"; this expression refers to when the effects of a drug kick in, but can also mean "The roach guy that gives".
• Double Standard:
  • Fudêncio and Conrado are treated completely differently regarding the same things. When the gang goes to a stadium in Rio de Janeiro to watch the Olympic Games, Fudêncio is allowed to bring a bazooka, but Conrado can't bring chips or churros because, if he drops it, someone could trip on it and die. To demonstrate it, Cudi actually proceeds to drop them and make people trip to their death.
  • In "Champa Avonts", a teen announcing a party to Conrado says that it costs 100 bucks, but women don't pay; thus, the party will be overflowing with girls. However, two girls Conrado's age are later talking about how they paid the tickets for that party, meaning either that only women over 18 don't pay, or the teen was lying to lure Conrado in.
  • In "Beijaço", a very ugly and unattractive hobo starts going around town kissing people, who are all traumatized and disgusted by it, and afraid of him. Other hobos start protesting about this, arguing that, if it were an attractive man going around kissing people, nobody would complain.
• Double Tap: In "Habeas Corpus", the kids find a dead guy in the ground. Conrado says they aren't sure he's dead, but then Popoto shoots him to confirm.^note Although Conrado said he wasn't sure if the guy was dead before being shot, he was clearly already a corpse when he was found.
• Downer Ending: Almost all episodes end in one, the most common kind being Conrado getting arrested and saying "I only get fucked in this shit!"; sometimes, something else bad happens after that. The Series Finale ends with this, making it the end for the show as a whole.
• Dude, Not Funny!: In "Nipo Neguinho", two samurais go to the school to kidnap Neguinho's japanese family. When Neguinho remarks that he is Japanese himself, one of the samurais laughs and jokes that he became a Japanese after a fire or after turning the lights off, but his partner is unamused and says these jokes weren't funny at all.
• Economy Cast: Kevin and Delcídio not only are the only relevant cops in the series, they also work as firefighters. The third cop, not being too relevant, rarely ever appears.
• Embarrassing First Name: Teacher Cudi Ampola, whose full name sounds like "Ass of Ampoule" in Portuguese. That's why she prefers to be called only by Cudi, although this name alone already means "Ass of".
• Episode on a Plane: "Caos Aéreo" and "Aeronave".
• Episode Title Card: Changed in the course of the seasons.
  • In Seasons 1-3◊, the titles were a paper background with childish drawings of Fudêncio and Conrado (almost always the former doing something bad to the latter), and rarely, only one or none of them, with a plot-relevant drawing in the only episode the latter happened.
  • In Season 4◊, it was changed to a chalkboard with only the title, in different fonts, and the opening credits were added to a blank, empty paper, with Fudêncio's silhouette then appearing with the names of the show creators.
  • Season 5's◊ are similar to Season 4's, but now it once again has the drawings of Fudêncio and Conrado.
  • Season 6◊ not only removed the drawings again, but made all titles in the same font (the opening credits of the first episode of season six had the drawings, but not the others). The title cards for the 2010 World Cup Specials◊ were similar to Season 6's, but with yellow and green words and stars, to represent the Brazil flag.
• Every Episode Ending: Conrado saying "Eu só me fodo nessa merda!", usually to the camera, either in an angry or desperate tone.
• Evil Laugh: Fudêncio has one, though since he cannot speak normally, he only hums it.
• Equal-Opportunity Offender: The show makes fun of gay and straight people, men and women, and several nationalities.
• Extra-Long Episode: "Ahhtata Rabuzac" is 22 minutes long, while the other episodes are 11 minutes long (during the time the episode aired, 2 episodes aired per day each week).
• Fantastic Racism: Conrado is bullied for being a persimmon.
• Enfante Terrible: In "Baratatouille", Peruíbe calls Funérea this, word for word.
• Everybody Do the Endless Loop: Cudi and Zé Maria both have signature dances that are shown in the theme song when they're introduced, and appear on several episodes. Cudi's dance consists of shaking her arms and left leg back and forth, while Zé Maria's is a cheerleading dance.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": The school bus driver, among other profession, is only reffered to as whatever job he's holding in the episode.
• Everyone Loves Blondes: Conrado and some other boys in the school are madly in love with Zé Maria.
• Evil Duo: Fudêncio and Funérea, although Fudêncio is the only one who actually does all of the evil stuff.
• Explosive Breeder: Baltazar the cockroach's father was this, as his son mentions having 3000 siblings.
• Expository Theme Tune: The middle part of the theme song talks about all of the season one main characters and either their name or one trait of them. (Click asterisk to see the original lyrics)

Being punk (Fudêncio), naughty (Conrado) ^*Ser punk, safado

Detesting school (Fudêncio and Conrado) ^*Detestar a escola

Giving negative points (Teacher Cudi) ^*Dar ponto negativo

Teaching morals (the cops) ^*Ensinar moral

Zé Maria (doing a cheerleading dance), Funérea (looks away from the viewer)

• Fan Disservice: Cudi shows her breasts in an episode, and dances naked in several others.
• Felony Misdemeanor: Conrado often gets arrested for these. Also, in "Olha Só o que a Funérea Está Falando", Funérea is arrested for saying "ass" and Conrado is arrested for saying "shit". In "Código Popoto", he gets arrested for illegal wielding of weapons, which is understandable, but the duration of his prison is for 2400 years; he would only get released in 4405. Since the episode was not considered in the show's canon, the Conrado from that,episode's timeline is likely still arrested to this day.
• Fiery Redhead: Conrado's father, who's also a persimmon. In the one episode where his voice is heard, he is very aggressive, foul-mouthed, and impatient towards his son.
• Filming for Easy Dub: Happens sometimes, even in the last season.
• Fish Eyes: Some minor characters have these.
• Foregone Conclusion: Usually, Fudêncio will get a good ending and Conrado, a Downer Ending. Sometimes subverted or even double subverted.
• Free the Frogs: In "Apagando o Sapo", Conrado decides to protest against the usage of frogs for experiences in the school. Not even the police is able to stop him, until Mother Nature herself comes to tell him to stop.
• From Beyond the Fourth Wall: In "A Morte da Funérea", Liutenant Kevin finds out Funérea's murderer by contacting the episode's writer.
• Fun with Subtitles: The nasal-voiced narrator always has subtitles when he's talking. Whenever he says a bad word or something mean, the subtitles will Bowdlerise them and replace it with an euphemism or something nice. This is a Take That! to Brazilian subtitlers, who often do not include swear words in subtitles and replace them with lighter words.
• Gainax Ending: "Cudi Copo" ends with Conrado walking by the street, laughing about how he was fooled by his friends. Suddenly, Baltazar Barata falls on him playing a piano, just like in the theme song.
• Game Show Appearance: In "Quem sabe se Fu!!!", the kids participate on the game show "Who knows knows, who doesn't knows gets fucked" with two groups; one led by Conrado and the other, by Fudêncio. The episode is currently lost; all that is currently known about it is that Conrado wins, but does not receive his prize for an unknown reason.
• Gold Digger: Mallu Mongolhães, a girl who dates Popoto for his uncle's fortune and later, when they break up, she starts dating another rich old guy.
• Gory Discretion Shot: In "Juca Esfirra Aberta", the titular serial killer murders a woman and Conrado, but in both cases, all that's seen is the exterior of their respective houses. In the woman's case, a scream is also heards, while in Conrado's, only a dramatic cue is heard.
• Goth: Funérea.
• Grand Finale: "Quem Tem Memória, Não Lembra". Although it's the third-to-last episode, it is the last episode chronologically and concludes the series; in the episode, Fudêncio decides to break his show's tapes at MTV so he can start a career in the USA starring in another show, but this results in the characters losing their memory. Zé Maria and Conrado investigate the case and, in the end, they both also move to the USA to star in the series along with Fudêncio. It also was the last episode written by Flávia Boggio, who was the lead writer for most of the show, but only wrote 2 episodes out of the 13 in Season 6.
• G-Rated Drug: The Insane bubblegum is hallucinogenous and treated like a drug. In an episode, it is forbidden by the school, and the students begin to protest for their rights to chew the gum.
• Gratuitous English: Al Gore visits the class in "Planeta Hot". Most of the time, he speaks Portuguese in an American accent, but when he is about to leave, he starts speaking English.
• Hate Sink: Both Fudêncio and Conrado can be this.
  • Fudêncio for always ruining Conrado's life for no reason, being a Karma Houdini and getting rewards for no reason, when often he did only bad stuff. Sometimes, it borders on absolute nonsense.
  • Conrado for being too full of himself and having a large ego, always believing he'll be lucky this time, when he already knows well how unfair life is to him.
• Half the Man He Used to Be: In "Gemiocídio", siamese twins named Orlando and Washington join the class. The kids like them so much, every one of them wants to do separate stuff with both twins. Fudêncio tries to solve this by sawing them in half to turn them into separate people, but they almost die instead.
• Hong Kong Dub: Would happen often in the earlier seasons, when the characters moved their mouths way too fast for the lip-syncing to even be perceived; one season one episode has the audio and video unsynced in one part. Minor and one-off characters would only have one or two different mouth movements. It's mostly due to the show having only two animators back then, and thus, it's averted in the later seasons when more animators were hired and the animation quality improved in general, including the lip sync.
• Immune to Slapstick: Fudêncio and Baltazar, who are highly durable. Baltazar's only known slapstick is falling off a waterfall in an attempt of murder by the kids (seen in an isolated scene from an otherwise lost episode). Fudêncio suffered from it twice; in "Chavonildo", when Funérea punches him on the head^note This was based on a gag of the show it's referencing, El Chavo del ocho. If it was exactly accurate to the original, the punch should've been given by Kevin Costa, but he was doing something else during that scene and in the Fudêncio 2000 finale, "Pizza Under The Arms" where he, just like everyone else, has his head exploded after eating a pizza-bomb.
• Informed Attractiveness: Inverted. In "Moleque Primata", Zé Maria says all the boys in the class are very ugly. While that's understandable for Fudêncio, Safeno, Popoto and Conrado ^note He may look cute for the viewers, but an actual kid with a giant persimmon head would be terrifying, Peruíbe, Neguinho and the unnamed ginger boy don't really have any ugly traits. In "Zezé and the City", Cudi also says Peruíbe is "almost pretty".
• Informed Loner: Sometimes, Conrado is said to have no friends, but he often hangs out with his classmates.
• Informed Species:Conrado is a persimmon, but he looks more like an orange humanoid creature with a pumpkin head.
• Instantly Proven Wrong: In the episode "Gangue do Patrão", Conrado and his friends form a gang that does impressions of the Brazilian TV presenter Silvio Santos. Funérea complains that gangs are just a bunch of men doing shit, and Teacher Cudi comes up to her, speaking in a Silvio Santos impression, and asks: "What did you just say? Can you repeat it?"
• Interspecies Romance: Conrado's mother is a wolf, while his dad and the rest of his family are persimmons like him.
• Invisible Parents/The Voice: Peruíbe and Funérea's parents, Zé Maria's mother and Conrado and Safeno's fathers.
• Iris Out: All pre-Fudêncio 2000 episodes end with one, often in Conrado's eyes or head.
• Large Ham: The title narrator. In some episodes, he gets so carried away with his narration that you can't even understand what he's saying.
• Kafka Komedy: A big part of the show's humor consists on Conrado doing the right things but getting a bad ending.
• Larynx Dissonance: Zé Maria has the appearance of a little girl, but the voice of an adult man.
• Later-Installment Weirdness:
  • In the last episodes, Conrado rarely ends up arrested because of Fudêncio (in the few times they both appear). Instead, he mostly does something bad without knowing or noticing it, or actually gets what he deserved.
  • The countless school trips, which were a Running Gag in the early seasons, stop happening in Season 5. The kids still go to different places every once in a while, but not as school trips.
  • The animation style in Season 6 is different than the previous seasons. The show heavily used squash-and-stretch, but this season barely does and is more stylized instead. Also, the characters have a full blinking animation for their eyelids, move their pupils, and all of the kids avert Motionless Chin.
• Living Prop: There are three kids in Cudi's class who almost don't do anything or are acknowledged at all. Peruíbe was one of them until mid-Season 1. In the early episodes, they had more lines, since they hadn't defined who would become an Ascended Extra.
• Mature Work, Child Protagonists: The show is about a group of 9 year old children at school. It's also intended for adults, and is an Animated Shock Comedy.
• Meaningful Name:
  • Fudêncio's name comes from the word "foder/fuder", which means "fucking". In almost every episode, he's fucking with Conrado's life.
  • Funérea, who is obsessed with death.
  • Zé Maria is a male name in Brazil, being an abbreviation of José Maria. José and Maria, separately, are some of the most common male and female names in Brazil, respectively, which matches the character being a transgender girl.
• Mood Whiplash: Whenever the program ''Só Peruíbe Salva!" comes after a Downer Ending.
• Morton's Fork: When Conrado does something good, he's punished unfairly. When he does something bad, he's punished fairly.
• Only the Leads Get a Happy Ending:
  • In "Planeta Hot", the whole planet Earth sinks, and conveniently, the only survivors are the main kids, the two cops and Baltazar, plus Peruíbe's house was the only one in the whole world that didn't sink. It's also a bad ending for Conrado, as always, since he doesn't get to shelter in Peruíbe's house along with everyone else because there is no room left for him.
  • In "Loira à Rodo", a North Korean leader threatens to blow up the capital of Brazil if the characters don't give him what he wants... Except he thinks The Capital of Brazil Is Buenos Aires, so he blows up the state and gets arrested immediately after. Even though an entire state was destroyed, it's not in the main character's country, so they don't care.
• Out of Focus: Conrado and Fudêncio from Season 5 onwards. In Conrado's case, his voice actor even left mid-Season 5, making him appear and speak in only seven episodes of the season overall (not counting one which shows clips from previous episodes).
• Laugh Track: Often, but not always, shows up when the characters make jokes or something funny happens. Other times, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ab8jRN871A a sound effect plays] after funny scenes, usually after a character says something stupid or something ironic happens.
  • In "Chavonildo", laugh tracks play during all the episode, being the only one where this happens, as a homage to the show it's referencing, which also has such laugh tracks.
• Parodied in "Cudi Baby". A narrator announces that the episode was deemed so unfunny, a laugh track was put into all scenes with jokes, along with an on-screen indicator with Fudêncio's face and the word "joke".
• Lemony Narrator: The nasal narrator, who ocasionally talks about how he hates his job and the show.
• Limited Animation: The animation style is simple and sometimes stiff. In the first seasons, only two people were credited as animators (Thiago Martins and Marco Pavão; both creators of the show). Ironically, Cid Pantera (the animation supervisor who appears As Himself in "Baltazar é um Barato") hated computer animation like the show's, preferring traditional animation.
  • Happens In-Universe in "Animação Animada", where Fudêncio makes an one-dimensional cartoon that only costed six bucks in total. It ends up being very successful anyway.
• Limited Wardrobe: The characters who wear the school uniform wear it even outside of school, while the ones that wear other clothes also always wear them.
• Lucky Charms Title: In the logo, the "o" in "Fudêncio" is replaced by a skull.
• Parental Substitute: Fudêncio lives with and is tutored by Baltazar the Cockroach.
• Perpetual Smiler: Popoto and Baltazar are almost always smiling, except when something really upsets them or the former is not acting stupid.
• Present Day: All episodes take place in the respective year they aired.
• Protagonist and Friends: The title translates to "Fudêncio and His Friends".
• Plot Tumor: From Season 5 onwards, Funérea, Zé Maria and Cudi's relationship. In Season 6, Cudi and Clown Picadinho's love story and marriage.
• Police Are Useless: Kevin and Delcídio arrest Conrado and reward Fudêncio for things they assume he's done based on the context. Delcídio is the smarter one, but it doesn't really mean much.
• "Ray of Hope" Ending: "Apocalipsio" ends with the entire planet getting exploded, the only survivors being Fudêncio, the cockroaches, and Conrado (who's then just smashed by a falling object). Baltazar tries to comfort the audience by saying that he and his girlfriend will repopulate everything again.
• Recycled Animation: The walk cycles are mostly recycled among the characters. There's one used for most of the kids, with blue jeans and red shoes (Zé Maria has the blue recolored to her skin color and Fudêncio has everything recolored to his skin color), small black legs for the adults (the females' have high heels as well), and thin legs used for Safeno and Funérea.
• Really Gets Around: Teacher Cudi has seeveral boyfriends througout the series, though Season 6 ends the running gag by having her marry the clown Picadinho.
• Reused Character Design: Happens very often with background characters. The kids themselves mostly are this as well.
• Ring Around the Collar: Baltazar wears this, as part of his character as an homage to classic cartoons.
• Sadist Show: Conrado suffers the most, of course, but everyone else does too. Fudêncio and Baltazar less, though.
• Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Conrado and Zé Maria (the latter is smart as well, but not as much as Conrado).
• Series Finale: "Quero Ser Cazé Peçanha". In this episode, Conrado finds a portal to the mind of the former MTV VJ Cazé Peçanha, where he can control his body.
• Serious Business:
  • In an episode, saying "ass" was labeled as a crime with maximum prison time of 70 years. However, if the speaker takes it back, they don't get arrested; Funérea just insisted on it, and won in court anyway.
  • Cudi considers the art tests to be the most important ones, even though they're just about making a drawing. Conrado even gets held back to kindergarten for failing his.
• Scratchy-Voiced Senior: Teacher Cudi and Conrado's grandpa.
• Shout-Out: In the second episode, "Pitoco de Guache", Teacher Cudi asks the students to draw a reinterpretation of Tarsila do Amaral's Abaporu.
• Slapstick:
  • Cudi, Funérea, Zé Maria and the other female characters suffer as much from the show's slapstick as everyone else (while both of the Immune to Slapstick characters are male). To name a few examples:
  • In "Capeta Mirim", a clown kicks a random little girl off a metro's vain.
  • In "Piratas do Carimbo", Neguinho punches Zé Maria on the face as part of a scene of a movie they were recording.
  • In "Sequestro", Funérea and Zé Maria are shot several times and killed by Popoto.
  • In the Fudêncio 2000 episode mentioned above, "Pizza Under The Arms", Funérea also eats the explosive pizza and get her head blown (not Cudi, because she was strangely absent from the episode).
• Sphere Eyes: Some characters have these; it's supposed to be a trait of the "good" ones, although it's not always the case.
• Stylistic Suck: In "Animação Animada", Conrado is introduced to 3D animation by watching a poorly rendered CGI version of him, spinning and flying all across the screen.
• Suicide as Comedy: Funérea is sometimes seen trying to kill herself, once spending an entire episode doing so, but always fails.
  Funérea: Nobody ever dies in this shit.
• Take That, Audience!: Some episodes make fun of the younger Periphery Demographic, particularly done by the narrator. In "Caverna da Dregona", he says: "If you are younger than 18, go sit in your mother's lap, you big baby son of a bitch". The subtitles, as always, censor the second part as "we reccomend you don't watch it".
• Third-Person Person: All Asians in the show speak like this, either using their name or their nationality.
• Those Two Guys: Kevin and Delcídio.
• Time Abyss: In "Código Popoto", it's revealed that Popoto is actually millions of years old, being alive since pre-history, and he's actually a Highlander Obfuscating Stupidity. In the same episode, Fudêncio is also revealed to have been in The Last Supper (along with Popoto).
• Token Non-Human: Fudêncio (a plastic toy), Conrado (a persimmon) and Baltazar (a cockroach). In Season 6, Liutenant Kevin Bacon, a pig.
• Tonto Talk: In "Reserva Indígena", some of the native Brazilians speak like this. Others speak entirely in random Indigenous words (just like Asian characters speak in random Japanese words).
• Toilet Humor:
  • Popoto is obsessed with poop.
  • In one episode, Conrado makes a poop that's so big, it clogs up the entire school's plumbing and makes the entire class and the police go to the bathroom to witness it. He blames it on Fudêncio, but, as usual, the latter ends up getting the good side of the story anyway, being added to the book of world records as the owner of the biggest poop in history.
  • The first episode also has the bus driver spending a long time in a portable toilet. In the end, his poop gets so big it's mistaken for a mud mountain!
• Translation: "Yes": Sometimes, Fudêncio says one or two "mi"s, and the characters repeat his sentence as something much larger than he actually seems to have said.
• Two Girls to a Team: Funérea and Zé Maria are the only notable girls in the class; there is another one, but she rarely speaks and is mostly a Living Prop. Between all of the main characters, Funérea and Teacher Cudi were this when Zé Maria was a crossdressing boy.
• Two-Teacher School: Although Cudi is not the only teacher seen, she's the only one who only works as a teacher. Mestre dos Bofes is a doctor and news anchor, Vingativa is a news reporter, Drauzio Variola is a doctor, and Sergio Melando is a humorist who temporarily taught at the class. Even the nasal narrator worked as a teacher once!
• Universal-Adaptor Cast: The characters have appeared in several roles other than schoolchildren.
• Love Interest: Conrado is in love with Zé Maria.
• Lighter and Softer: During the 2010 World Cup specials, the sponsored scenes by Guitar Hero or Coca-Cola have no swearing or graphic imagery (other than Fudêncio's name itself, which already has the word "fuck" in it); Conrado even had two of his catchphrases changed; "Merda, merda, merda!" ("Shit, shit, shit!") and "Eu só me fodo nessa merda!" ("I only get fucked in this shit!") became "Droga, droga, droga!" ("Darn it, darn it, darn it!") and "Eu só me dano nessa Copa!" ("I only get screwed in this Cup!")
• Megaton Punch: Conrado receives this twice from men with unibrows in "Prenda Prendida Prendada", because they think his fundraising for unibrow people implies they're less capacited. He also receives these from Fudêncio in other episodes.
• Most Writers Are Adults: The kids in the show swear, do drugs, talk about sex, and have adult or teen-like voices that no 9-year old would have.
• Mother Nature: She appears in "Apagando o Sapo" and looks like Cudi, plus even has the same Hair-Trigger Temper and Suddenly Shouting traits. She tells the kids that they don't need to care about the frogs used in the laboratory experiments, because they enjoy suffering.
• Motionless Chin: Surprisingly averted, despite the show's Limited Animation. Most of the characters' chins do move when they talk, and even the No Neck Chumps have a drawn chin on them that also moves.
• Money, Dear Boy: In-Universe. In "As Fedelhas Superpoderosas", Peruíbe accepts acting as a Powerpuff Girl, despite being a boy, just because of his payment.
• Minimalist Cast: Clearly averted in the episodes themselves, but happens in the title cards. In the seasons where they feature childish drawings of characters, Fudêncio and Conrado are the only characters to ever appear, with very few exceptions. Many drawings were based on the title rather than the episode's plot, leading some drawings to have nothing to do with the episode itself.
• Ms. Fanservice: In some episodes involving trips, Fudêncio gets privileged to have the companion of attractive women, who wear skimpy outfits that show their bellies, and are only in their panties. There are also others that are outright completely naked.
• My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting: This show is Brazilian and makes a lot of fun about Brazil, representing its inhabitants as gullible, oblivious and ignorant.
• My Friends... and Zoidberg: The news reporter often does this when describing an event that killed people. For example, "10 people and a telemarketing attendant were killed".
• Never Say "Die": A variation. For some reason, the word "marijuana" could never be said in the series, even though the drug itself was shown, the word for weed smokers was said in two episodes, and other heavier drugs were mentioned by name.
• Never Trust a Title:
  • "A Marcha do Caqui": the episode title means "The March of the Persimmon", when in reality, the main march that happens in the episode is related to a chewing gum instead. The only "persimmon march" in the episode is when Vingativa yells "END THE PERSIMMON!" after Conrado tries to make everyone stop protesting.
  • "A Namorada do Zezé", from Season 6. The title means "Zezé's girlfriend" (Zezé being Zé Maria's nickname), but in the episode itself, Zé Maria is crushing on a boy, and doesn't even have any love relationship with him.
• New Job as the Plot Demands: The "Carecas do ABC" trio and Jacques Janine-Costeau. It's often pointed out, sometimes Breaking the Fourth Wall with the phrase "hey, weren't you a ____ in the other episode?" Also the bus driver, who is also the caffeteria attendant.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: Joey Ramone is a recurring character in the show. Even though his real life counterpart died in 2001, the entire show takes place after that year and he's still alive.
• No Dress Code: Fudêncio goes to school naked, but teacher Cudi lets him be that way believing it's due to poverty. The uniform seems to be optional anyways, since Funérea, Safeno and Popoto wear other clothes to school (probably to the former's carelessness and the latter's stupidity).
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown:
  • In "Karatê Cudi", Funérea easily defeats Zé Maria in their fight.
  • In "Nipo Neguinho", two samurais arrive to kidnap Neguinho's family, but he beats both of them up and leaves them severely bruised.
• Not Allowed to Grow Up: The kids appear to still be in fourth grade from the beggining to the end, even though every episode takes place in the year it aired, and episodes from previous years are mentioned in episodes from latter ones. In Season 6, it's implied they grew older, and one line by the reporter says Conrado is in high school.
• No Theme Tune: Inverted; the show has no ending credits, since they are already shown after the title cards.
• Non-Human Head: Conrado's persimmon head.
• Obfuscating Stupidity:
  • In one episode, a girl named Mallu Mongolhães decides to act stupid so she can marry Popoto and become rich with the fortunes of his uncle.
  • Popoto himself seems to be doing this, but it's unclear if he does it on purpose or it's just his personality involuntarily changing.
• Of Corpse He's Alive: Happens in the episode "Habeas Corpus". When Fat Idiot Popoto takes a dead man's corpse to the school, the other kids have to pretend he's just an older student.
• One-Word Vocabulary: Fudêncio's speech is limited to "mi"'s, which the other characters are perfectly able to understand (except Vingativa). Averted with his reverse counterpart in "Wonderful World", who speaks actual Portuguese, as well as in "Gangue do Patrão" when he says an actual sentence when doing his Silvio Santos impression.
• Only Six Faces: Most of the kids look very similar to each other, although, in some cases, it's deliberate: Fudêncio and Funérea and Conrado and Zé Maria look alike to give them a stronger connection.
• Prison Episode: In "Intercâmbio Criminal", the class visits a prison.
• Piano Drop: In the theme song and "Cudicopo", Conrado is killed by a falling piano, played by Baltazar.
• Pint-Sized Kid: Not only the kids, but also most of the adults are very small compared to real life people.
• Random Events Plot: In "Piratas do Carimbo", Conrado directs a movie that actually has a coherent plot, but when he sends it for Fudêncio to edit it, he scrambles the scenes completely and puts some random recordings that weren't even part of the film. It ends up being a success anyway, with Funérea even complaining to Fudêncio that he was supposed to ruin the movie, not improve it.
• Product Placement: All four World Cup 2010 specials had one. They were, respectively, for Mentos, Nivea Men, Guitar Hero and Coca-Cola. They happened only in separate segments at the end of the episode, and notably, had no swearing (other than Fudêncio).
• Roger Rabbit Effect: Happens in "Baltazar é um Barato", when live-action humans interact with Fudêncio and Conrado. Also happens in all episodes of the spinoff Infortúnio, when Funérea interviews real people.
• Series Continuity Error: Conrado's house's exterior keeps changing between three designs back and forth during the series, and even more bizarrely, the same interior is reused for different exteriors. The first and last seasons use a completely new design altogether.
• Sick Episode: Although he's always sick, Safeno has had a whole episode about his illnesses, centered in the hospital, called "Ponte de Safeno". In the episode, he's about to die and the kids have to find new organs for him.
• Space Episode: In "Astronauta de Árvore", the gang visits a space station, while Fudêncio and Conrado go on a literal space bus.
• Supporting Protagonist: Despite Fudêncio being the titular character, Conrado is the actual main character (and later, Peruíbe is).
• Nothing Is Scarier: After spending an entire episode thinking a new student in his class is a murderer he saw on TV, Conrado goes back home, but the interior isn't shown; just the exterior and the voices, with him offscreen. He fins out there is someone else in the house and his mom is missing there; then, there is a scream which is the same one the TV murderer shouted earlier in the episode. Nothing else is heard, other than a dramatic cue while the episode fades to black and ends.
• Recurring Extra:
  • In Teacher Cudi's classroom, there are a ginger girl and a boy with his left eye completely wrapped, and they rarely have any lines. There is also another seat that has been occupied by a Mallu Mongolhães, a kid dressed as a robot, and a ginger boy.
  • When the episode starts at the school and the narrator is saying something, there is a boy running with his head on fire. Paying attention, you can see he's smiling.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Fudêncio and Conrado.
• Repeating So the Audience Can Hear: Sometimes, characters do this while talking to Fudêncio. Other times, they don't, and his line is deductible from the answer given by the other character.
• Secondary Character Title: It is more marketable than "Conrado e Seus Amigos" due to Fudêncio already having been a character before this cartoon.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In "Planeta Hot", Al Gore visits the classroom to explain global warming to the kids. However, no matter how hard he tries, everyone (except for Conrado) ends up misunderstanding it as a good thing, because "they'll have beaches, won't feel cold, and women will wear shorter clothes". He gets fed up and leaves angrily!
  Al Gore: Curse the time when I decided to give classes in the third world, bunch of stupids!
  Teacher Cudi: Is everything alright here, Mr. Ex-President? (sic)
  Al Gore: (in English) Oh, fuck you, Brazilian pig! Oh, yeah!
• Self-Deprecation: The characters tend to refer to their own show as "shit", which is present even in Conrado and Funérea's catchphrases.
• Series Continuity Error: Has some of them, such as characters being brought back to life after being killed or ages changing. One of the showrunners, Cacá Marcondes (who's also Zé Maria's voice actor), joked they're just "discontinuity wins".
• Shout-Out: Many of them. In "Reabilitação", the children get sent to a rehabilitation camp for supposedly getting addicted to collecting Pokémon cards.
• Simpleton Voice: Popoto, except for the rare cases he says something intelligent.
• Take That!: In "Tchubarudããã", Mallu Mongolhães, while acting stupid, is invited to the program of Brazilian TV presenter Faustão. After the other kids uncover her secret and reveal that she's actually really smart, Faustão gets angry, saying that he does not invit intelligent people to his program, and tells the producers to kick her out.
• The Smart Guy: Conrado is the brains of the class. Nobody cares about what he has to say, though.
• Spell My Name With An S: In some occasions, Funérea's name is spelt as "Funéria".
• Spotlight-Stealing Squad: From Season 5 onwards, Peruíbe appears in every episode, when even the characters from the main trio (Fudêncio, Conrado and Funérea) are absent or have no lines in some of them. Even in the season 6 model sheet, he's the first one listed, with Conrado in third, Funérea in fifth and Fudêncio in sixth.
• Sudden Name Change:
  • In a few episodes from Season 4, Zé Maria's name is replaced with "Diego" in the theme song. The text remains the same, however, and she is never named as that in the show.
  • In the sixth season, Kevin Costa's name is changed to Kevin Bacon and he inexplicably becomes a pig instead of a human.
• Take Our Word for It: In some occasions, things are mentioned by characters but not shown on screen just because the animators were either too lazy or didn't have time to draw it. A good example is in "Nipo Neguinho", where Cudi shows Baltazar Barata an exposition with Fudêncio's drawings, to which Baltazar replies he took his attraction for toilets after his dad. The drawings aren't shown on screen, making the scene pointless.
• Talent Contest: In "Tutti Fruta", a music festival is held at the school. Throughout the episode, Conrado is competing the Popoto to be the best on the festivals.
• Teacher/Student Romance: In "Paixonite", Neguinho and Teacher Cudi begin dating after Neguinho himself develops a feeling for his teacher. The characters' reactions are varied; Conrado is completely disgusted, the other kids don't care, the general population riots for Cudi's death, and the cops were against it at first but Neguinho emotionally manipulated them into thinking it's normal.
• Temporary Substitute: When Conrado is absent from an episode (especially due to his constant voice actor change), his role as the smart, conscient guy is taken by Peruíbe, Zé Maria, or Safeno. When Teacher Cudi doesn't appear, most of the recurring adult cast shows up to teach the class instead.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Funérea is the tomboy to both Zé Maria and Teacher Cudi.
• Totally Radical: Kevin Costa attempts to talk to the kids this way in "Desquitismo", when everyone decides to stay at the principal's room. They don't even understand what he's trying to say.
• They Killed Kenny Again: Many episodes have characters dying, including the main cast, but Negative Continuity always brings them back.
  • In "Apocalipsio", someone accidentally presses a button in the Pentagon, causing the whole Earth to explode, the only survivors being Baltazar (due to being a cockroach), Baltazar's girlfriend, Fudêncio, and Conrado (who is then smashed by a falling object anyway).
  • In another episode, the whole planet sinks, killing off almost everyone on Earth, except for the kids and the cops, who found shelter.
  • In "Safeno Decide Contar", Funérea intentionally turns off Safeno's life support.
  • Conrado unknowingly hangs himself in "O Que Está Acontecendo, Conrado?"^note Before he actually choked, he thought the rope was a "puberty-ending kit"
  • In "Sequestro", Popoto shoots Zé Maria, Peruíbe and Funérea so they won't keep his rich uncle's money. Fudêncio escapes and gets all of it anyway, while Conrado survives but does not get anything.
• Transplant: Fudêncio was originally the name of a real-life doll in a live-action show in MTV. Unlike his animated counterpart, he was the Butt-Monkey and got stuff like tattoos and scribbles over him, which were kept on his cartoon version.
• Two Guys and a Girl: Fudêncio, Conrado and Funérea.
• Unexplained Recovery: The characters die in several episodes, but always come back alive in the next one, including the minor characters. The most egregious example is a whole apocalypse, in the second-to-last season 2 episode (the next one is a lookback and non-canon, so it can be considered a series finale of sorts. It even mentions the apocalypse episode); in the season 3 premiere, everyone and everything is there again.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Funérea is best friends with Fudêncio, but she still hates him as much as everyone else, and often insults and criticizes him.
• Vegetarian for a Day: In "Quem Vegeta Sempre Alcança", a vegan woman^note despite the term "vegetarian" being used all over the episode, the correct term is vegan visits the class and convinces all the kids (except Fudêncio and Funérea) to stop consuming any animal derivatives. They are ok with it at first, but give up after finding out everything is derivated from animals in one way or another, plus some people need them (for example, Safeno needs yogurt for his health).
• Verbal Tic:
  • Zé Maria often includes "gentê" ("people", but with emphasis in the wrong syllable) in her lines.
  • For Vingativa, it's "bichas" (a slang for gay people)
• Villain Protagonist: Fudêncio is a bad guy and has even killed people, although nobody other than Conrado notices or cares.
• Vocal Dissonance: Conrado, Neguinho, Peruíbe, Funérea and Zé Maria are all nine, but they all have deep, adult voices. However, as they all suffered from The Other Darrin, it's averted by Conrado in Seasons 4 and 5, Zé Maria in Season 6, and Neguinho in the beggining of Season 1 and an episode in Season 2 (although the former two's other voices sound like teenagers at the youngest).
• Vocal Evolution:
  • In early episodes, Fudêncio sometimes had a high-pitched voice, and sometimes had a raspy voice. His voice actor Thiago Martins eventually settled on the former.
  • Conrado's voice became deeper in Season 2 before being replaced in Season 4.
  • Zé Maria's voice also gets deeper around Season 4.
  • In the second episode, "Pitoco de Guache", Popoto has a completely different voice in one line (possibly just reused from a test recording), which sounds even more like a Simpleton Voice than usual.
  • Safeno used to speak slower, with a weak and low pitched voice. It then got higher-pitched as the seasons went on.
  • In her first few appearances, Teacher Cudi had a raspier voice.
• Visual Pun: In the first episode, a kid on the bus calls a pedestrian an "asshole" (in Portuguese, of course). Turns out said pedestrian is a centaur, and thus, he has a literal "ass hole".
• When You Coming Home, Dad?: Conrado's mother is too busy to spend time with him, or even atend parent reunions.
• Whole-Plot Reference:
  • The series in general is a mix of South Park and Peanuts.
  • "Caverna da Dregona" for Dungeons & Dragons (1983).
  • "Chavonildo" for El Chavo del ocho.
  • "Baratatouille" for Ratatouille.
  • "O Pequeno Príncipe" for The Little Prince.
  • "Uma Cilada Para Cudi Ampola" for Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
  • "As Fedelhas Superpoderosas" for The Powerpuff Girls.
  • "Extraterrestre" and "E.T. o Contrabandista" have some inspirations in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
  • The Series Finale, "Quero Ser Cazé Peçanha", is one for Being John Malkovich.
• Who Writes This Crap?!: The narrator says this sometimes.
• Word Salad Lyrics: Before one last repetition of the chorus, the theme song says "Fudêncio mimimi, only fuck those who say persimmon head"^OriginalSó se fodam quem falar "cabeça de caqui". Probably has to do with the fact that he gets bullied for being a persimmon, and "persimmon head" is an Embarrassing Nickname for him.
• World of Jerkass: Even the nice/polite characters, such as Conrado, Zé Maria, Popoto and Baltazar can be Jerkasses sometimes; every character in the show is one to some degree.
• Would Hurt a Child: Cudi has no problems hitting Conrado with a ruler or even threatening him with a GUN.
• Would Hit a Girl: In "Gemiocídio", a siamese twin (who also seems a lot older) threatens to spank Funérea after getting angry with her. Not only is she ok with it, she also likes it, even asking where it'll be, plus insists on it.
• Wraparound Background: The show uses this often, especially in the early seasons. It was particularly noticeable in the classroom and hallways.
• Written-In Absence: Delcídio's original voice actor left near the end of Season 3, before voice acting was completed, so in the final episodes of the season, there's a Running Gag that Delcídio is unavailable and a random character would appear as Kevin Costa's sidekick instead. He returns in Season 4 with another voice.
• Yank the Dog's Chain: Several episodes seem like Conrado is finally getting a good ending, before something bad happens to him. For example, in "Meteu o Rito", Kevin Costa congratulates him for warning everyone in the city about the incoming meteor and proposes to give him the city observatory, but Dráuzio Varíola denies it, and after that, the meteor falls exactly on Conrado, smashing him to death.
