Maikrux and Falete are two TV figures which form part of Basque and Spanish popular culture. Both of them perform non-hegemonic gender identities, embodying strong femininities despite the fact they were assigned as male at birth. Our analysis deals with humour and the vernacular, in which we highlight that instead of deactivating their possible political potentiality, their role in the cultural imagination allows «possibility» and agency. This is possible not only because of what Maikrux and Falete «are» but rather because the audience can reappropriate certain pleasures that they embody, empowering the audiences with complex and plural identifications.
