Abstract

This essay aims to read the Portuguese internet series Bicha do Demónio (2009-2010), produced exclusively for dissemination on the network by Youtube, taking as a starting point the presence of a satirical vein, observed under two aspects: the first, while continuity of a literary and cultural tradition of derision and evil saying; and the second, as a direct exposition of sexual subjectivities, as well as the multiplicities of the Portuguese homosexual universe.
