This article presents the results of a qualitative analysis, conducted through discourse analysis and semi structured interviews, of several groups of political satire on Facebook, some concentrated particularly in criticizing the five-star movement. The results show how the specificity of these groups is to have built a critique from the web of a popular movement that originates and develops from the web itself. The interviews show how behind a conflict on political themes there is a deep critique on the use and the very nature of the web.

Keywords: Political satire, political partecipation, web studies, trolling, Movimento 5 Stelle, Internet culture.
