The internet has a great influence on social relationships and there are several types of virtual relationships. 'Catfish' is the term used to describe an individual who forges his identity to enter into a virtual relationship. Based on Behaviour Analysis, the objective was to present a functional analysis of the 'catfish', identify its characteristics and detect possible functions of the class of responses from six episodes of the series with the same name.
