Jonathan "Jon" Lajoie (born August 21, 1980) 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.

Lajoie has also worked on television; his main break was as Taco [=MacArthur=] on ''Series/TheLeague''.

!!Associated tropes:
* AccidentalMisnaming: In "I Kill People," MC Vagina claims to be "invincible, like Bruce Willis in the movie ''Invincible''." The movie he's alluding to is ''Film/{{Unbreakable}}''.
* AnalogyBackfire: MC Vagina does this a lot.
** In "Very Super Famous", he brags that "in Iraq they found WMD's -- Women on My Dick." As was widely reported in the media, and in a major embarrassment for the Bush administration, there were no [=WMDs=][[note]]Weapons of mass destruction[[/note]] found in Iraq.
** He claims he's "like AIDS", because everyone has heard of him and he's happiest inside vaginas. Naturally, ignoring all the other things about AIDS.
** He has claimed to be "the Anne Frank of erections" before realizing what exactly that would be implying.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In the ''Mysteries of the Universe'' video:
-->"Why does war exist? Why do we hate, why do we keep killing each other and who keeps making these Creator/MartinLawrence movies? ''Film/BigMommasHouse 2''? ''Two''!? [[CurseCutShort What the f]]--"
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: MC Historical Inaccuracy in "WTF Collective 2."
-->''I drop lyrical bombs like Hiroshima in '73\\
I write rhymes like [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Shakespeare]] when he wrote [[Literature/TheDiaryOfAYoungGirl Ann Frank's Diary]]\\
Which is about the Civil War of 1812 in Germany''
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: A lot in "Very Super Famous", for example:
-->''[[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff All the Mexicans love me]] down in the South America\\
From Colombia to Brazil all the way to Algeria''
* AudienceParticipationSong: At the end of his shows, he keeps the chorus to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "2 Girls 1 Cup Song"]] going and invites the audience to sing along.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Zombie Chorus Guy in "WTF Collective 3."]]
* BeigeProse: The "Show Me Your Genitals" trilogy is entirely a mix of this trope and [[TalksLikeASimile lazy analogies]]. For instance, in "I Kill People," he boasts that "I buy a lot of expensive things because I have a lot of money/You can't afford expensive things 'cause you ''don't'' have a lot of money."
%% * BlackComedy: The foundation of his humor, along with SelfDeprecation. '''Nothing''' is off-limits. Good examples are probably "Cold-Blooded X-Mas," "Mel Gibson Love Song," and "Rapist Glasses"/"Pedophile Beards."
%% * BlackComedyRape: At the end of "WTF Collective" [[spoiler:numbers 1 and 3 and "You Are Not Alone"]].
%% * BreadEggsMilkSquick: Used frequently in songs.
* BrickJoke: MC Fatigue, passing out (a-gain) in "WTF Collective 2" [[spoiler:and finally waking up at the very end of "WTF Collective 3."]]
-->''[[spoiler: "... did I miss anything?"]]''
* BoastfulRap:
** Parodied in the "Everyday Normal Guy" and "Show Me Your Genitals" trilogies, as well as the epic "WTF Collective."
** Turned up to eleven in "Very Super Famous."
** Inverted by Everyday Normal Guy from the song of the same name and "WTF Collective".
-->''Everyday Normal Guy here to get the track started\\
My average lyrics are between genius and retarded''
* BrandX: ''Everywhere'' in "Please Use This Song." Every single BlandNameProduct is named "Your Brand Here."
* TheCameo: MC Vagina can be spotted in the crowd shots during "Pop Song".
* CasanovaWannabe: MC Vagina is pretty obviously this; his BlatantLies, JerkAss personality, and naked misogyny aside, there's only one video where he's shown hanging out with women, and none of them look very happy to be there.
* ClusterFBomb: Most apparent in "F**k Everything". Which drops the F-bomb 62 times from start to finish.
-->''Fuck you! Fuck me! Fuck the sky! Fuck trees! Fuck the sun, I don't need heat or vitamin D!''
* CourteousCanadian: MC Canadian Stereotype in "WTF Collective 2":
-->''But I don't want any trouble and I am always polite\\
Now lets hop on my snowmobile and I will tell you what I like''
%% * CreepyMonotone: MC Vagina.
%% * DeadpanSnarker: During the breaks between songs in his live performances, and his non-musical Website/YouTube sketches. But even some of his songs are bitingly sarcastic and incredibly cynical (see "Pop Song" and "Radio-Friendly Song").
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Chorus Guy in "WTF Collective 2."]]
* DudeNotFunny: An in-universe example -- he [[LampshadeHanging calls himself out in the lyrics]] to the final chapter of the "Show Me Your Genitals" trilogy, "I Kill People," after making an Anne Frank joke. This is something of a RunningGag with MC Vagina, whose raps tend to include incredibly tasteless comparisons (including 9-11, Hurricane Katrina, or the JFK assassination), which often results in a VerbalBackspace. Also used by MC Inappropriate Rhymes in "WTF Collective 2" and {{Lampshaded}} again by [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin MC Extremely]] [[MoralGuardians Politically Correct]].
* DudeNotIronic: "WTF Collective" features MC Doesn't Know What Irony Is. In either context we hear him use the word, it's not clear exactly what he thinks it means -- the point is, he doesn't get it.
%% * DullSurprise: MC Vagina.
* EruditeStoner: "We don't have racism in Canada. We have... weed."
%% * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The rapper names in his WTF Collective videos.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Courtesy of [[MeaningfulName MC Uses Time Machines Irresponsibly]]:
-->''Then I traveled in time to the night I was conceived\\
I met up with my parents and we hung out all night\\
[[TemporalParadox Come to think of it, they didn't have any alone time...]] [[PuffOfLogic NOOO]]--''
* FakeCharity: His fake Kickstarter is a remarkably honest example, in that he just outright calls it the "Help Jon Become Super Rich" project.
* GagPenis: [[BlatantLies 25 inches long and 12 inches thick]] claims MC Vagina in "I Kill People".
* GivingRadioToTheRomans: MC Uses Time Machines Irresponsibly gave his iPhone to Bill Gates in 1973.
* GratuitousFrench: 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).
* HarmfulToMinors: "A New Beginning" is about a time when Jon saw ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVANewBeginning'' as a young boy, and was horribly put-off by the events in the movie, unable to understand anything that was going on or why that woman got murdered.
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: MC Vagina, especially in these lines from "I Kill People."
-->''So if you'll come at me I'll trip you then [[FreudianSlip I'll suck your nuts]]\\
I-I mean I'll punch your nuts\\
Sucking them would be gay and [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I'm totally not gay]]\\
I'm all about V-A-G-I-N-A.
* HeteronormativeCrusader: MC Homophobic Fucking Asshole from "WTF Collective 2", who wears a "God Hates Fags" hat, takes the mic right after MC In-The-Closet Homosexual to describe being gay as "evil and unnatural", say that "Jesus said to love thy neighbor but only if they are straight", and that anything but straight sex is "just insane".
* HollywoodToneDeaf: MC Vagina is a textbook case; he barely even sings, he just kind of mumbles along to the tune in a flat tone. The guy in "I Can Dance" also qualifies... though being a terrible singer is the [[BlackComedy least of his problems]].
* HypocriticalHumor: MC Extremely Politically Correct in "WTF Collective 2" references "Michael Jackson Is Dead".
-->''[Lajoie's lyrics] are offensive, insensitive, and in very bad taste\\
Like that guy who wrote that song when Michael Jackson passed away''
%% * IAmTheBand: His "WTF Collective"s and "Pop Song" parody this.
* InterchangeableAsianCultures: {{Invoked|Trope}} by MC Vagina in "Very Super Famous":
-->''All around the world, people know who I am''\\
''Even in the Chinese countries, like Japan''
* LampshadeHanging: The final chapter of the "Everyday Normal Guy" trilogy, "Everyday Normal Crew."
-->''We just a regular, everyday, normal crew\\
The joke's gettin' old, I fuckin' agree with you\\
I'm just repeatin' the same shit from "Normal Guy" 1 & 2\\
What a twist, in this one I'm rappin' about my friends too\\
I think this cow's been milked dry...'''[[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch muthafucka]]''' ''
* LyricalDissonance: ''All'' of his songs. Special mention goes to "Stay at Home Dad," one of his very few songs with no dark humour or profanity, which is a Music/RageAgainstTheMachine pastiche about how much he enjoys looking after his infant son.
* {{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.''
%% * MindScrew: Visit his website. [[http://www.jonlajoie.com/ We DARE You]]. And in his commercial for hands.
* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: "Michael Jackson is Dead" plays with this. Jon both defends Jackson ("we didn't care if it was true or false") and insults him ("remember when he dangled his kid from a balcony"), but his biggest TakeThat is to people who made Michael Jackson jokes when he was alive and then canonized him as a saint when he died. His overall point seems to be that Jackson was a human being with flaws and foibles, and that dying doesn't change that.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed:
** 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 of the typical BoyBand stereotypes, such as the good looking lead singer, and the effeminate one that is probably gay.
** MC Vagina references [[Creator/GeorgeClooney Jeff Clooney]], [[Music/SouljaBoy Boy Soldier]], [[Creator/BradPitt Brad Pitts]], and Puff Daddy. He likes to go to famous people parties with them.
* NWordPrivileges: In "Everyday Normal Crew", Jon angers his TokenBlackFriend KC by calling him the N-word, then immediately backpedals and changes the lyric to "friend".
--> '''Jon:''' This is my nigga KC--\\
'''KC:''' What the fuck did you just call me?\\
'''Jon:''' Sorry... I'll say friend. This is my friend KC, the only black one in the group.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney:
** Chorus Guy makes it clear that he's only singing the chorus because he can't find any other work. [[spoiler:Even then, it's not enough to keep him from killing himself.]]
** This is also the main joke of "Please Use This Song" -- the singer creates the most commercial-friendly song ever, while spending the entire video begging a company to license the song out and give him some exposure.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: His sister, Jessica Lajoie. Sure, she's good-looking, has a good voice, but... yeah. She even says, in an introduction to one of her videos, that she's [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling not quite sure what happened in the gene pool for them to be related]]. She loves him all the same.
* PermaStubble: He's only rarely clean-shaven.
* {{Pluralses}}: {{Inverted}} with "MC Don't Know How to Pluraize Word".
* PrecisionFStrike: {{Inverted}} in the "Pointless Profanity" video. [[GoshDarnItToHeck OH SNAPPING TURTLE!]]
* ProtestSong:
** Surprisingly played straight in "Song for the Students," a song in support of the 2012 Quebec student protests.
** Also, arguably "Osama is Dead."
* RedHerring: Before "WTF Collective 3" was released, [[spoiler:MC Vagina appearing to sing the chorus at the end of "WTF 2"]].
%% * RefugeInAudacity: Cranked up to eleven
* RunningGag: "You want some of this, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch Bitch]]?"
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: "I Kill People":
-->''Guns don't kill people\\
(Uh-uh)\\
''I'' kill people\\
[[DramaticGunCock (Chik chik)]]\\
With guns\\
(Pow)''
* SelfDeprecation: The foundation of his humor, along with BlackComedy. The best example is "Too Fast." Another example is his joke Kickstarter video, where he declares, after listing off people that make less than him (decorated war veterans, teachers, doctors), he declares that it's "because what I do is way more important." Cue clip from "Show Me Your Genitals."
* ShoutOut: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG8iAtpavK4 His music video for "A New Beginning"]] can be considered this for the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' film series. Even the song's name is a reference to [[Film/FridayThe13thPartVANewBeginning one of the films in the series.]] (Specifically, the song is about an incident when he watched the movie as a kid and didn't understand what was going on.)
* SophisticatedAsHell: In "Fuck Everything":
-->''And fuck birth, entering the world of space and time is a bitch\\
Searching for purpose in the random universe sucks dick!\\
Is it deterministic or am I free to choose my way?\\
[[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Did I choose to not give a fuck about ice cube trays?]]''
%% * {{Stripperific}}: The girls in the video for "Pop Song".
* SoundtrackDissonance: His 2016 work with his new band, Wolfie's Just Fine, can be considered this. Especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG8iAtpavK4 the music video for "A New Beginning",]] where relatively calm folk music is played while the video shows murder scenes reminiscent of a ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' movie.
* StylisticSuck: All of MC Vagina's songs.
** "The Best Song" turns this trope up to eleven. And then twelve.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: MC Knows Too Many Facts About Bees ends his verse with "Just 'cause I know a lot about bees doesn't mean that I'm gay." As it turns out, [[spoiler:he's also MC In the Closet Homosexual.]]
* TalksLikeASimile: When he isn't just BeigeProse-ing, MC Vagina expresses his lyrical brilliance and badassery by comparing himself to well-known movies, famous landmarks, horrific disasters, etc. This naturally leads to lots of AnalogyBackfire ("I'm dangerous, like a fire in a nursing home").
* TakeThat: In "I Kill People:"
-->''I'm bad, like the movie ''Film/AttackOfTheClones
* ThreeChordsAndTheTruth: His songs that don't parody BoastfulRap pretty much always fit this style.
%% * ThreeMinutesOfWrithing: The video for "Pop Song".
* TokenBlackFriend: "Everyday Normal Crew" has KC, who is the only black guy in the group. Everyday Normal Guy admits that he doesn't actually know KC all that well, but insists that he's not racist because [[SomeOfMyBestFriendsAreX he likes black actors in movies.]]
%% * TropeName: "Everyday Normal Guy," "Pop Song," "Radio-Friendly Song."
* UngratefulBastard: His Kickstarter video's last half is based on the terrible "rewards" for donating money. There's no reward at all for donating twenty dollars, because "twenty dollars don't mean shit to rich people like me", fifty dollars gets a photograph of Jon riding a jetski and burning a fifty-dollar bill, five hundred gets a plug for your business, a thousand dollars gets a video of him reading your social media and being disgusted at how pathetic you are, and ten thousand gives you the privilege of saying you met him. Not actually meeting him, just the ability to tell your friends you met him.
* WHAMLine: [[spoiler: "You can't spell chorus without... Vagina."]]
** Also, in "Tennis Ball:"
*** ''"...helps me forget about [[spoiler:my cancer.]]"''
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: [[spoiler:After Chorus Guy shoots himself, he comes back as a zombie:]]
-->''This must be a bad dream\\
Why am I still singing?\\
I motherfucking killed myself...''
* AWildRapperAppears: Parodied in "Pop Song":
-->''And now the token rap verse that doesn't make any sense\\
But helps me get a small percentage of the urban music market''
* WordSaladLyrics: MC Confusing's entire schtick:
-->''And I play air guitar with a tube of toothpaste/And I say "karate pencil case" and put it on tape.''
