Porta dos Fundos

Porta dos Fundos is a Brazilian sketch show built around a chorus of short film like pieces. Each episode bundles multiple quick skits that lampoon everyday life, media, religion, politics, and pop culture with sharp, fast pacing. The creators, a trio of comedians Antonio Tabet, Fábio Porchat, and Gregório Duvivier, build a shared world where ordinary situations tilt into absurdity through punchy one liners and visual gags. Rather than a single storyline, the format favors bite sized ideas that land with surprise and mischief. Some sketches push boundaries and invite debate, while others mine character dynamics for quick, memorable set pieces. The tone stays mischievous, often sly, and never afraid to push boundaries in service of humor.

Released in 2012, Porta dos Fundos was created by Antonio Tabet, Fábio Porchat and Gregório Duvivier. The program collects a string of short sketches produced by the Porta dos Fundos collective and distributed across media channels. It rotates casts.

The show helped shape a new wave of Brazilian sketch comedy by merging online virality with traditional TV formats. Its satirical tone sparked conversations about religion and politics and gave a platform to performers and writers. Clips from its sketches circulated online, influencing peers to push boundaries with short humor.

Critics have noted the brisk pacing and ensemble energy, with praise for its bold humor and quick exchanges, though some sketches drew debate for their provocative material. Core themes include media culture, faith, gender and identity, and pointed social satire. The tone invites discussion about what is acceptable in humor.
