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 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.
