Seu Creysson
Seu Creysson is a character in the comedy group Casseta & Planeta, who appears in their program on the Rede Globo television network. He is portrayed by comedian Claudio Manoel.
Seu Creysson is a satire of an exaggerated, working-class person. He is known for his combover; huge, taped-together glasses; missing teeth; his red shirt; a pronounced beer gut; and above all, his speech: he has a strangely overcorrected vocabulary (with forms like erradio "wrongily" instead of errado "wrong"), and he has a specific accent which has made him famous.
An English approximation of a typical utterance: "Ladiesium and Gentlemenium, viewerists of Casseta et Planeta, are readingulating my wordifications on Wikipedical!"
He bought a fictitious business called Grupo Capybara (a contender for membership in the illustrious Tabajara Organization), thus saving himself from bankruptcy by launching a line of popular products.
During the elections of 2002, Seu Creysson ran for President of Brazil, and he founded his own political party, the PÇSC. In a blending of fantasy and reality, Casseta & Planeta ran real television spots promoting the candidacy of Seu Creysson, and they had a significant following among the public.
Casseta & Planeta also published a book based on the character, Seu Creysson, Vídia i Óbria (roughly "Seu Creysson, Lifeium et Workiums"), which contained a compilation of the sketches from the program and was a best-seller.
