Warkop DKI, short for Warung Kopi Dono Kasino Indro, was originally a comedy group that was popular on the radio in the 1970s.

The success of this film paved the way for dozens of other films that continued to be produced until the late 1990s.

Warkop DKI films generally carry a light sitcom theme but are full of social criticism. Dono, Kasino, and Indro often play different characters in each film, but always with their own characteristics. Dono is known for his innocent face and silly behavior, Kasino with his Betawi accent and intelligence in throwing out humor, and Indro with his outspoken style of speech and often being the victim of Dono and Kasino's mischief.

One of the main reasons why the Warkop DKI series is worth watching is its intelligent and entertaining humor. The humor in this film is not just physical jokes or slapstick, but also often contains sharp social criticism. For example, in the film "Gengsi Dong" (1980), the Warkop trio criticizes the luxurious lifestyle and materialism that are starting to run rampant in society. This kind of humor makes Warkop DKI films not only entertaining, but also provides deep social reflection.
