Warkop
Warkop (an abbreviation of Warung Kopi, meaning "coffee stall"), previously Warkop Prambors (1973 - 1986) and Warkop DKI (1986 - 1997) were an Indonesian comedy group that enjoyed success in radio, film and television from 1970s to 2000s. They soon burgeoned as the country's top comedy group, surpassing Srimulat and Bagito Group. Unlike other comedy groups of its time, Warkop was the only one whose jokes were considered intellectual. Understandably, they were all educated people from renowned universities and actively involved in campus activities, a rarity at the time. Their jokes and witticisms suited the tastes of young people: critical, mischievous, and silly.
In end of September 1973, Kasino Hadiwibowo (Kasino) and Nanu Mulyono (Nanu) performed comedy at the "Perkampungan Universitas Indonesia" (University of Indonesia Villages) a student camp in Cibubur. Their humorous performance caught the attention of Temmy Lesanpura, a University of Indonesia senior who was then head of Prambors Radio. He then invited them to appear on a show with Rudy Badil called "Obrolan Santai di Warung Kopi." This program airs every Thursday night from 8:30 pm to 10:30 pm and containing packaged in the form of short student jokes, folklore, and even parody songs.
A year later, Wahjoe Sardono (Dono) joined the show and Indrodjojo Kusumonegoro (Indro) is also joined to this group 3 years later. Warkop Prambors began to appear on television screens through the program Terminal Musikal - Tempat Anak Muda Mangkal, directed by Mus Mualim, on New Year's Eve 1978, from there they often appeared on TVRI. Unfortunately, Rudy Badil decided to stepped down due to stage frige. He later focused to become Kompas journalist until his retirement in 2005, and died on 11 July 2019.
In 1979, Warkop making their film debut entitled Mana Tahaaan. At the time, their personnel are portraying their radio characters respectively (Dono as Slamet, Kasino as Sanwani, Indro as Paijo and Nanu as Poltak). This film successfully gathered an audiences of up to 400,816 viewers. But after one film, Nanu decided to stepped down for academic reason and pursued a solo career. He later appeared in another film, Kisah Cinta Rojali dan Zuleha. He died on 22 March 1980 and was buried in Tanah Kusir Cemetery. The remaining members continue to produce most of their work over 1979 – 1995, starring in 34 comedy films and 1 docudrama film. On average, two film titles are released each year ahead of Eid Mubarak and New Year's Eve celebration.
To this day, people still often referring Warkop films as "Dono films." Indro, representing Warkop, investigated this phenomenon by consulting a psychologist. Indro concluded that the word "Dono" is easy to remember because it consists of two syllables and is also placed at the beginning of the acronym "DKI", which is associated with Warkop DKI.
In 1996, Warkop started work on a comedy soap opera called 'Warkop DKI' produced by Soraya Intercine Films and broadcast on Indosiar. This soap opera features Warkop DKI with Karina Suwandi as Dono's sister and Indro's wife and Roweina Umboh as Kasino's wife. But one year later, Kasino was rarely seen and occasionally appeared wearing a wig (because he wassuffering a brain tumor and undergoing chemotherapy at the time). He died on 18 December 1997.
Without Kasino, they are unable to using Warkop DKI (because DKI stand for Dono, Kasino and Indro) and change their name to Warkop and produced another soap opera called Warkop Millenium. Contrary to first soap opera, this is more likely to a made-for-television format and directed by a various directors (even Dono himself). On 30 December 2001, Dono died of lung cancer and was buried in Tanah Kusir Cemetery, leaving Indro as a sole member of Warkop. In 2004, Soraya Intercine Films producing another soap opera called Warkop (unofficially titled Cewek Oke Cowok Oke) and lasted for 14 episodes.
On 13 March 2019, Falcon Pictures started a spinoff project called "Warkop DKI Reborn" and starring a different actors who portrays Dono, Kasino and Indro respectively (Indro himself is not involved along with the character Dono and Kasino, but he is portraying another character and serving as an executive producer). Falcon Pictures can produced this, because Falcon Pictures are also buying some of the Warkop film's copyright (see footnotes for the further explanations).[citation needed]
