Fudêncio e Seus Amigos (seasons 5 and 6)

Fudencio e Seus Amigos was an adult animated sitcom created by MTV Brazil before its extinction in 2013. 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.

The episodes initially centered either on Conrado trying to get luck or the kids going in a school trip, either almost always ending with Conrado being arrested or otherwise punished. These episodes created the entire essence of the series, acclaimed by the fans. However, from Season 5 onwards, it was completely changed, losing the spark the series initially had.

Why These Seasons Are Always Fucked in This Shit

 * 1) The main character Conrado, while appearing in every episode of the previous seasons, barely appears here now. He also has annoying voices, due to his original voice actor leaving. His role is unnecessarily taken by other characters in some episodes, such as Peruíbe in "Júnior" or Safeno in "A Morte da Funérea"
 * 2) These episodes aren't very funny and much more boring, mostly being just characters talking for half of the episode.
 * 3) Due to the spin-off Infortúnio, where Funérea interviewed real-life people, the original series started getting much less attention, eventually being cancelled in 2011 after a season with only 13 episodes as opposed to 22 like the two previous ones.
 * 4) In 2010, there was no new season, only four special episodes for the South Africa World Cup. Plus, like these seasons, they weren't even very good, except for the last one which was decent. Plus, they were only made to advertise like brands Mentos, Nivea Men, Guitar Hero and Coca-Cola in their endings, never allowed to have any swear words in the ad parts.
 * 5) The characters suffered flandering, becoming mild and more one-dimensional (with Safeno being the worst flandering). In fact, they're basically interchangeable in several occasions.
 * 6) Several of the characters' defining traits aren't noticed in some episodes, such as Popoto's stupidity or Safeno's bad health.
 * 7) Instead of Conrado, many episodes now focus on irrelevant things like Teacher Cudi dating a clown or Funérea getting a date. In fact, there are too much episodes about love and dating, which has nothing to do with the show.
 * 8) Slow and monotonous pace that makes these seasons easily tiring and boring.
 * 9) Almost all of the original voice actors were replaced, with the new ones not being as good.
 * 10) ** Conrado's voice in late Season 5 is the worst offender; while they hadn't found a definitive replacement, Safeno's voice actor Geninho Simonetti was called in to voice the character for four episodes. Not only does he sound nothing like the character; his voice is very loud, screechy and obxinous, and sounds more like an old man. The worst part is, those four episodes he voices are otherwise very good, but were somewhat ruined by his voice. Also, in "O Barato Que Dá", an already boring episode by itself, the series creator Thiago Martins voices Conrado instead, trying to do an imitation of his original voice, but it just sounds too artificial and annoying.
 * 11) Confusing alternate reality episodes, such as "Um Neguinho na Casa Branca" showing Neguinho being a candidate for president but losing. However, there is later a sequel where Neguinho does win the election, making the first part's ending pointless.
 * 12) Some episodes try to cram several subplots as once, becoming very confusing, such as "Crééééupúsculo!", "A Menina Maluquinha" and the aforementioned "Lugar de Criança é na Casa Branca"
 * 13) Several continuity errors; for example, in a Season 3 episode, it was shown that Neguinho's entire family was Asian and only spoke Japanese, except for him. However, in Season 5, his mom speaks Portuguese and is implied to also be a black woman.
 * 14) Season 6 removes many iconic characters, such as "Capeta Mirim", "Carecas do ABC", the unnamed bus driver, and Kevin Costa (which was due to his old voice actor leaving, so he was replaced by a pig lookalike to make the change less weird).
 * 15) The title cards of Season 6 are all bland and look the same, instead of having funny drawings like Seasons 1-3 and 5, or varied fonts for each episode like Season 4.
 * 16) The character of Peruíbe is extremely overused, appearing in every single episode and speaking in all but one, when his voice actor was absent. Despite not necessarily being a bad character, he is one of the most bland and generic, and works better in a supporting role rather than a main one.
 * 17) The new characters that appear in these seasons are annoying, idiotic or simply bland, unpleasant and one-dimensional, some, like Funerea's Boyfriend, Neguinho's Paraguayan Girlfriend and Professor Cudi's Father, only appeared in just one episode. There's also Mallu Mongolhães (a parody of the singer Mallu Magalhães), who was originally introduced in Season 5 as a celebrity who is Popoto's girlfriend, but then randomly appeared in two other episodes as a student in the class and is said to be Peruíbe's crush in one of them, and just disappeared forever after that. The character is so awful that nobody really cared about her absence, and would be better if she only appeared in her introductory episode.
 * 18) All of the background characters (other than the filler students reutilized in the introductions or the classroom) are also gone in the sixth season, leaving only estabilished characters, making the show's world seem more limited.
 * 19) Many bad, boring and/or mediocre episodes, such as:
 * 20) ** "Zezé and the City" (a bad way to start season 5)
 * 21) ** "Compra Besta, Compra"
 * 22) ** "Tchubarudããã" (depending on your view)
 * 23) ** "Os Segredos da Peida"
 * 24) ** "Meteu o Rito" (depending on your view)
 * 25) ** "Uma Cilada para Cudi Ampola"
 * 26) ** "Lugar de Criança é na Casa Branca" (both parts)
 * 27) ** "Júnior"
 * 28) ** "Crééééupúsculo!"
 * 29) ** "Safeno Decide Contar"
 * 30) ** "A Menina Maluquinha"
 * 31) ** "O Enviadinho do Futuro"
 * 32) ** "Museu do Hippie Sujo"
 * 33) ** "Mundial Surreal"
 * 34) ** "Loira a Rodo"
 * 35) ** "A Escolha do Neguinho"
 * 36) ** "Amor de Verão" (a bad way to start season 6)
 * 37) ** "Ligeiramente Prenha"
 * 38) ** "Casalzinho Cudi Cudi"
 * 39) ** "O Barato Que Dá"
 * 40) ** "O Pequeno Morrissey" (probably the worst episode, despite being the second-to-last)

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) These seasons still have some good/decent episodes, such as:
 * 2) *"Reabilitação"
 * 3) *"As Fedelhas Superpoderosas" (depending on your view)
 * 4) *"Aeronave"
 * 5) *"Rei do Pop"
 * 6) *"Gripe Suina"
 * 7) *"Stand-Up Tragedy" (a good way to end season 5)
 * 8) *"O Gênio da Bola"
 * 9) *"Conrado Maneiro"
 * 10) *"E.T.- O Contrabandista"
 * 11) *"Wonderful World"
 * 12) *"A Marcha do Caqui"
 * 13) *"Quem Tem Memória Não Lembra"
 * 14) *"Quero Ser Cazé Peçanha" (a good way to end a series)
 * 15) These episodes at least are less repetitive than the early ones, which always had the same premise of Fudêncio doing something bad and Conrado getting punished by it.
 * 16) The animation, while still limited, is better done than the previous seasons alongside the redesigned characters, due to having more animators.
 * 17) Conrado's voice actor in 2010-2011, while not as good as the original, still does an excellent job and doesn't sound annoying like the other replacements.
 * 18) The episode "Uma Cilada para Cudi Ampola", while bad, references Conrado's iconic original voice.
 * 19) The episodes written by Flávia Boggio (the original lead writer and the only one until Season 3) can capture the essence of both the old seasons and the recent ones.
 * 20) Some funny and clever jokes, such as in "E.T. - O Contrabandista" where Dráuzio Varíola notes that 40% of people who watch the show downloaded it ilegally and the others are watching it in TV through a hotwire power supply.

Trivia

 * After MTV Brazil ended in 2013, the series can only be watched in the internet, with 18 episodes being currently lost. However, none of them are from this era.
