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. The show's title is a Portuguese blend word formed from the phrase "assessor de porra [or porcaria] nenhuma" (lit. 'assistant of fucking nothing').

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.
