The Aspones (Portuguese: Os Aspones) is a Brazilian television sitcom that aired on Rede Globo from November 5 to December 17, 2004. It was created by Fernanda Young and Alexandre Machado. The series, which portrayed a group of white-collar workers at a governmental department lost in Brazilian bureaucracy in Brasília which actually has no function at all, starred Selton Mello, Andréa Beltrão, Pedro Paulo Rangel, Marisa Orth and Drica Moraes.[1] The show's title is a Portuguese blend word formed from the phrase "assessor de porra [''or'' porcaria] nenhuma" .[2]

Synopsis

It featured a group of public officials, better known as aspones (Advisors of No Crap), who work at FMDO (Ministerial Binder of Mandatory Documents), a public office where you have nothing to do. Thus, they create the FMDO (Speaking Bad Of Others), which makes them ridicule among themselves and those who go there.
