Os Trapalhões was a Brazilian comedy group and also a Brazilian television series created by Wilton Franco. Its members were Dedé Santana, Zacarias, Mussum and their leader Didi Mocó, that was played by Renato Aragão. The name Trapalhões is derived from the Portuguese verb atrapalhar, which means the opposite of helping, to do something the wrong way or to Those that confuse. The name is translated "Tramps" in English DVD subtitles. It was aired by Rede Globo from 1977 to 1999. On March 18, 1990, Zacarias died due to respiratory failure, but the group and the series didn't come to an end until July 29, 1994, when Mussum died due to an unsuccessful heart transplant.

La telenovela è ambientata negli anni '80 a San Paolo (Brasile) ed è incentrata sulla lotta tra uomini e donne per dimostrare la propria superiorità. Tutto inizia quando i cugini Charlotte e Ottavio, che si chiamano affettuosamente "Cumbuca" e "Bimbo", ricevono in eredità dal loro zio Enrico la catena di negozi Charlo's e una lussuosa villa. Per mettere fine ai conflitti, Charlo propone a Ottavio una sfida: in 100 giorni, lei e la sua squadra dovranno aumentare le entrate della catena di negozi; in caso contrario, Ottavio diventerà l'unico proprietario dei beni. Ottavio accetta la scommessa e ha inizio una vera e propria "guerra dei sessi": da un lato Ottavio e Filippo, il figlio adottivo di Charlo; dall'altro Charlo, aiutata da Roberta Leone (vedova dell’imprenditore Vittorio Leone), da Vania (suo braccio destro) e da Giuliana (figlia di Filippo).
