Državni posao

Državni posao places three office coworkers in a fictional government department and lets their everyday chat drive the show. Rather than following a traditional storyline, each episode strings together brief, stand-up style exchanges where Đorđe Čvarkov, Boškić and Dragan Torbica riff on headlines, sports, TV and the press. The trio blend personal gossip, civic observations and slapstick reactions into short sketches and recurring bits, so the mood stays brisk and conversational. Humor grows out of character clashes and the petty absurdities of bureaucratic routines, aiming to make viewers laugh while nudging them to think about current events without tying up loose ends.

Created and written by Nikola Škorić, Dejan Ćirjaković and Dimitrije Banjac, the series premiered in 2012. The three creators also star in the show, which draws on their sketch and stage-comedy background and adapts that live energy to television episodes of compact, punchy scenes.

Since its launch the program’s signature character dynamics and repetitive joke patterns have been widely recognized across Serbia and nearby markets. Clips and references circulate on social platforms and local discussion forums, and the show’s mockery of red tape and office ritual has fed into casual conversation and media commentary, helping it stick in public memory beyond individual episodes.

Audiences and reviewers tend to respond well to the show’s dry observational humor and the tight chemistry among the three leads, reflected in a 7.9/10 user rating from available votes. Major themes include satire of state institutions, the petty frustrations of everyday life, and how small, repetitive moments reveal larger social quirks. Dialogue is the engine, with short riffs and callback jokes carrying most of the comedic weight.

The series doesn’t have a widely reported run of international awards, but it has secured a steady regional audience and steady mention in domestic year-end roundups. Its impact is more cultural and conversational than awards-driven, sustained by repeat viewings and shareable highlights.
