Severino was the porteiro played by Paulo Silvino in Zorra Total, the Brazilian sketch comedy that aired on Globo from 1999 to 2015. As the doorman who controlled entry and checked identification, the character became one of the show's most recognisable figures, and his exasperated lines were quoted long after individual sketches ended. Short excerpts later spread through Brazilian meme pages, messaging groups and soundboards, where this fragment is kept as a nostalgic reaction for disbelief, complaints and petty gatekeeping in daily life.
About this sound
Severino the porteiro from Zorra Total saying isso é uma in a short Brazilian television clip widely used for comic reactions and meme video edits.
This is a short voice clip of Severino, the famous porteiro from the Brazilian sketch comedy Zorra Total, starting his catchphrase with isso é uma. Delivered in his dry, put upon tone, the line is cut off in a way that makes it feel like a complaint about to happen. The humor comes from recognition and timing rather than a punchline, so viewers familiar with the character instantly expect frustration, disbelief or a bureaucratic refusal. It works as a quick reaction that adds a classic television flavor to an everyday annoying moment.
