A tenso, tenson, or tenço is a style of Occitan song favoured by the troubadours. It takes the form of a debate in which each voice defends a position on a topic relating to love or ethics. Closely related genres include the partimen and the cobla exchange. Another close variant, wherein the two debaters were judged by a third is called the contenson or contençó, from the Occitan word for contest. In Italian literature, the tenso was adapted as the tenzon(e).
The word “tenso” is Portuguese for “tense”. This is a meme that spread through Brazilian blogs and forums, and consists of an image edited to form a sequence that closes up the frame and emphasizes a “tense” face or situation. In form, it is similar to a common vertical 4-Pane, a common exploitable format; although the number of actual frames may vary.
Can we STOP this Tenso shit? It’s a MEME, and like all memes, will be obscure to forgotten in a year or two. Plus it’s brazilian, so if your audience is spanish then go ahead. Two more Tensos and I’m unsubscribing. Not enough “comics” and the funny factor is low overall here.
“if your audience is spanish”
what do you mean with that? the official language in brazil is portuguese.
i’m brazilian and i don’t like this meme very much either.. it’s made by a website i don’t subscribe and i don’t see any fun too.
But what i’ve been reading lately is xenophobia, for some reason, some people have been very unrespectful. it’s not funny because it’s not funny. not because it’s brazilian.
humor is universal.
Sorry, this tenso meme is lame and not funny. Given that that the last two got more thumbs down than thumbs up and the one before almost as many down as up, maybe it’s time to give it up.
tehehe =]
what the F does tenso mean?
I don’t get it?
Tenso – Portuguese word for tense, invoking a tense situation.
Could someone explain this TENSO wannabe-meme to me?

How’s That?
The Wikipedia entry — as usually — is usless and makes no sense. ^^ I bet it’s full of Wikinazis on patrol.
The KnowYourMeme thing is… well… explaining it… I think…
Although the image scene above is still neither tense nor funny. :/
Oh well… we’ll see.
NOT FUNNY. NOT EVEN A BIT.

Brazil isn’t spanish nor ever was owned by Spain. It was, however. portugese.
WTF is this shit?
How about posting things that are actually funny, or at the very least, make some form of sense?
I mean, how is this funny?
.

TENSO
Seriously? LAME.
I’m brazilian and must say this is the worst “tenso” I’ve seen.
@Bob X
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!!!!!
This is the one that makes me unsubscribe to this site. Nice work, mods. Be a little more original next time, and a lot more creative/funny.
One more Tenso and I’m gone. They’re retarded.

@P
Uuuh… What does Brazil has to do with an Spanish audience??
i was going to say something … but i see the atmosphere is a little TENSO around
I’ve seen lots of very funny TENSOs…. why don’t any of them get on Comixed?
@Gretta F
Please submit funny Tensos.
@Rooby
EVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL YOU STILL HAVE TO STEER

I’m brazillian too. There is nothing wrong with ‘tenso’. It’s just that… that one is not funny. It’s a particular question. I guess. hm
good lord all of you are freaking closed minded idiots. just because it requires a different way to look at it, a little twist if you will.
Tenso. Tension. Conflict. Conflict of ideas. Conflict of images.
In other words: the final image conflicts with the original idea that is laid out in the first panel.
Damn idiots. Was that so fucking hard?!?!
DAMN!!
I am spanish. o_O
I agree with fuggeddibaddit.
What does “spanish” has to do with Brazil? Wake up everyone! In Brazil people speak PORTUGUESE.
And don’t lie to yourselves; most of you just don’t like tenso stuff because in brazilian. Stop being xenophobic.
Wow, a f**king eagle did this one? XD
