Jonathan "Jon" Lajoie is a Canadian comedian, actor, rapper, singer, musician and Internet celebrity from Montreal, Quebec. Lajoie first became popular through the music video "Everyday Normal Guy", in which he, in ironic contrast to typical rappers, sings about his bland, run-of-the-mill daily activities and his peaceful nature.

More recently, Lajoie made his television debut as Taco on The League, currently in its third season.

  • Boastful Rap: Parodied in the "Everyday Normal Guy", "Show Me Your Genitals" trilogies, "F**k Everything", and "WTF Collective."
  • The Cameo: MC Vagina can be spotted in the crowd shots during "Pop Song".
  • Canada, Eh?: Jon Lajoie is Canadian, and while he himself is not that stereotypical, there is MC Canadian Stereotype from WTF Collective 2.
  • Cluster F-Bomb: Most apparent in "F**k Everything". Which drops the F-bomb 62 times from start to finish.
  • Gratuitous French: At the end of Very Super Famous we hear "For all you French ladies out there: Le feu sur le cheval était brisé" (Meaning: The fire on the horse was broken).
  • Lampshade Hanging: The final chapter of the "Everyday Normal Guy" trilogy, "Everyday Normal Crew."
  • Lyrical Dissonance: All of his songs.
  • Metaphorgotten: MC Vagina is proficient in this:
    • "My love is like lightning. It gives girls orgasms. My dick is like an airplane. It gives girls orgasms.
    • "Yeah, the Eiffel Tower is a lot like my dick, it's big and it stings when soap gets inside the tip."
    • "Fame is like a tree. It helps you get pussy."
  • Mind Screw: Visit his website. We DARE You. And in his commercial for hands.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: his sister, Jessica Lajoie. Sure, she's good-looking, has a good voice, but... yeah.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Most of the WTF Collective members are based on famous rappers, at least in their voices and delivery. For instance, MC Fatigue is Sean Paul and MC Final Verse is 50 Cent.
    • Also "Pop Song" has some the typical Boy Band stereotypes, such as the good looking lead singer, and the effeminate one that is probably gay.
  • Perma-Stubble: He's only rarely clean-shaven.
  • Precision F-Strike: Inverted in the "Pointless Profanity" video. OH SNAPPING TURTLE!
  • Protest Song: Surprisingly played straight in "Song for the Students," a song in support of the 2012 Quebec student protests.
    • Also, arguably "Osama Is Dead."
  • Red Herring: Before WTF Collective 3 was released,
  • Refuge in Audacity: Cranked Up to Eleven
  • Running Gag: "You want some of this, Bitch?"
  • Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: "I Kill People":
  • Self-Deprecation: The foundation of his humor, along with Dead Baby Comedy. The best example is "Too Fast."
  • Sophisticated As Hell: In the song F**k Everything he ponders the nature of the universe and the conflict between free will and determinism:
  • Stripperific: The girls in the video for "Pop Song".
  • Surreal Humour: In the song F**k Everything.
