Cláudio Besserman Vianna (June 25, 1962 — June 17, 2006), commonly known as Bussunda (), was a Brazilian humorist and TV comedian, member of the Casseta & Planeta troupe. He was born in Rio de Janeiro, where he lived and worked, having started his career in the 1980s as a writer for satirical magazine Casseta Popular. One of the most popular Brazilian comedians of his generation, the overweight Bussunda was famous for his impersonations of football striker Ronaldo and of Brazil's president Lula. He also did the voice of Shrek in the Brazilian Portuguese version of Shrek and Shrek 2. He was of Jewish descent.

==Nickname== "Bussunda" is said to have been derived from his school nickname "Besserman Sujismundo" ("Filthy Besserman"), since his parents and friends say he wasn't very fond of taking baths; it was a reference to "Sujismundo", a character used in a government-run educational campaign about urban pollution in the early 1970s - the term "sujismundo" is a combination of words "sujo" (dirty) and "imundo" (filthy). Besserman also said the word was a contraction of "two of my favorite things, but don't call me 'Bundeta'" (reference to "buceta" and "bunda" – in Portuguese, vulgar slang for vagina and buttocks respectively), though this meaning is assumed to be a backronym.
