Plot edit
The cartoon tells the story of a group of three lazy hooligans (Polish: dresiarze) from Warsaw – Spejson, Wojtas and Walo. All three are 20–30 years old, originate from poor, lower-class families, live in Warsaw's Grochów subdivision and are fans of Legia. They usually spend their time sitting on benches or in Speluno club, drinking beer and smoking. Because of their rowdy nature they are at odds with the law and other hooligans.[2]
The show sometimes makes references to, or even features real events and people such as the former Polish President Aleksander Kwaśniewski[3] or to YouTube personalities.[4]
