Sumario:The article aims to analyze the event of trolling in the order of Brazilian political discourse, occupying a place on the threshold between humor and hate speech. Considering the impact of the internet on the political scene and the rise of the extreme right, as well as the discursive practices that emerge from it, the discussion will contemplate the emergence and functioning of political trolling in Brazil. The objective will be to demonstrate that trolling, here taken as an event, provoked a discursive mutation in relation to the ways of saying hate speech within the political discourse, since the latter, in contemporary times, adopts previously regular humorous strategies only in a digital environment. With view to this discussion, two statements produced by the Brazilian extreme right will be analyzed, particularly materialized in a public speech and in a public gesture. As a theoretical-methodological contribution, we will use the tools offered by Foucaultian Discursive Studies, especially regarding the archaeological method proposed by Michel Foucault and the notions of statement and event.
