This article aims to analyze the narratives contained in different types of Brazilian videos posted on the YouTube® website which talk about deaf subjects regarding the representations conveyed about them, whether they are based on narratives of difference or disability. The study approach is qualitative and it is an exploratory research through documentary analysis of 08 videos selected through internet search using the term "deaf mute", on July 12, 2019. It was found 543 videos related to the search term with different dates of posts, referring to the period 2018 and 2019, of these 204 presented in the title the term "deaf mute" which we categorized as religious context videos, jokes and reports. From the results of the analysis is observed that the narratives about the Deaf are based on a representation of deafness as a disease and the Deaf as incapable persons.
