'''[[http://www.youtube.com/user/KSIOlajidebt KSIOlajidebt]]''' is the online identity of Website/{{YouTube}}r '''Olajide Olatunji''' (born 19 June 1993). Simply known to everyone as "KSI"[[note]]which was the name of his ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' clan[[/note]], "JJ", or "that rather fast black man".

KSI pretty much became the face of the ''[[VideoGame/FIFASoccer FIFA]]'' fandom in the UK, as [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball The Beautiful Game]] is SeriousBusiness for many people there. KSI started gaining popularity after uploading a [[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0D0840915CE3E16E 'mini-series']] discussing what was wrong with ''FIFA 11'' and what could be improved in the succeeding edition. Nowadays, he stands as the owner of the biggest [=YouTube=] channel in the United Kingdom, with over 10 million subscribers and over 2 billion views on his videos.

More content can be found [[http://www.youtube.com/user/KSIOlajidebtHD on his second channel]], which was formerly a ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty''-only channel but has now grown to a broader palette of video games, often played with the other members of the Creator/UltimateSidemen, a group of British [=YouTube=] gamers that JJ is involved in.

It should also be noted that due to [[LargeHam his excessive hamminess]], [[NoIndoorVoice you might want to turn the volume down on his videos]].

[[HiddenDepths He doesn't just do videos]]. He's dipped his toes into the music industry, having guest verses on two songs by British rapper Sway ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vEuTdBI8qQ "No Sleep"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCAy0Ip8Pvg "Mac-10 Flow"]]), releasing his own song called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=708mjaHTwKc "Lamborghini"]], and making a series of songs with his friend Randolph ("Sweaty Goals", "Heskey Time", etc.). He also has an upcoming EP called ''Keep Up'' due for release in January 2016.

Additionally, he has released an autobiography called ''I Am a Bellend'' (or ''I Am a Tool'' [[MarketBasedTitle in the US]]) that is available in both physical and audiobook versions.

----
!!KSI and his channel incorporates the following tropes:
* ACupAngst: A retired RunningGag of his was making fun of Creator/EmmaWatson's breasts for this reason.
* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** In one of his Q&As he actually says that wanking every day is the reason why he's so funny.
** He mentions one time where he masturbated ''during Spanish class''. He wasn't noticed by the teacher but was noticed by some classmates.
** In his Pink Slips video against Fangs, [[ItMakesSenseInContext he wears a horse mask while masturbating to horse porn.]]
** Implied in his verse on "No Sleep":
-->24/7, I aim for the heavens
-->Even when I was eleven
-->Heaven was finding the seven
-->Minutes alone in my bedroom
-->(ungh!)
* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: The seven-second challenge of JJ and Callux was recorded after getting a little drunk. It doesn't render them wasted or even noticeably inebriated, but it does show sometimes where they'll just fuck with each other instead of doing real challenges. However, the idiocy comes in when JJ winds up having to balance on a wobbly penny board. With his phone in his pocket...
* AlliterativeName: KSI's real name is Olajide Olatunji.
* AudienceParticipationSong: "Lamborghini", full stop. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jZK8l4ejQg Just watch this Insomnnia 54 performance.]]
* ATasteOfTheLash: "Slavery FIFA" and their family's version of the "Chubby Bunny Challenge".
* AWildRapperAppears: KSI himself in the song "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vEuTdBI8qQ No Sleep]]". Kind of subverted because Sway also raps on the track.
* BattleRapping: His ''Football Rap Battles'' series.
* BerserkButton:
** Referring to football as soccer.
** The word "[[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball touchdown]]". Don't say it when he's near a computer, because ''he will break it.''
*** This is best seen in his reaction video to "''Teens WebVideo/{{React}}'' to [=KSIOlajidebt=]".
** When he starts losing a wager, he will go completely apeshit.
* BestialityIsDepraved: From "I'm On A Horse".
-->'''KSI''': I'll f[[SoundEffectBleep **]]k a horse!
-->'''Deji''': [[LampshadeHanging Um, that's bestiality.]]
-->'''KSI''': [[BigShutUp SHUT UP BITCH]] I DON'T CARE, I JUST WANT MY HORSE ORGY!
* BigBrotherBully: Of sorts to his brother [[WebVideo/ComedyShortsGamer Deji]].
* BigNo: He does two when [[ItMakesSenseInContext his white parents tell him that there is no chicken and instead there are fish and chips]].
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext As the camera zooms in on his eyes]] in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlknkEf8M40 this video]].
** In "Slavery FIFA", Deji rattles off [[RuleOfThree three]] [[NoIndoorVoice really loud ones]] when his brother nearly scores.
-->'''KSI''': [[LampshadeHanging Dude, are you trying to break my fucking windows?]]
* BookDumb: As showcased in some cases.
** In a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUJ7vyKVxjk quickfire questions challenge]], he somehow forgot that 7 - 2 = 5.
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OCEttlDEvg this game]] of ''TabletopGame/CardsAgainstHumanity'', he mispronounced "Pharaoh" as "Pharoha".
* BreakTheCutie: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb_FCOPy048 Shock Dancing]], Seana gets shocked so much she actually [[TearJerker breaks down crying]], and only then [[HeelRealization does JJ decide that enough is enough]].
* CatchPhrase:
** "Yo! It's your boy [[TitleDrop KSIOlajidebt]]!"
** '''"YOW!"'''
** '''"TOO GOOD!"'''
** "It is done!"
** "X has just scored against ya. WHATCHA GONNA DOOOOOOO?"
** "GOLASO GOLASO GOL GOL GOL."
** "SWEATY GOAL!"
** "GET YOUR TITS OUT."
** "GOOOOLLAAAAAAAASSOOO!"
** '''"HESKEY TIIIIIIMMMEEE!"'''
* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: In one of his Q&A videos he catches his dad masturbating. He is surprisingly turned on.
** In "DAT INTRO", he walks in on Deji.
* ChainsawGood: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnWl3S5f6dc As seen in this video.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Have you seen his videos? If you haven't, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqgiptaYTUw take this for example]].
* ClusterFBomb
* ColdBloodedTorture: The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb_FCOPy048 Shock Dancing]] video, in which JJ and Seana repeatedly shock each other via dog collars while trying to play [[VideoGame/JustDance Just Dance 2014]].
** NothingIsScarier: The thought of wearing a dog collar, knowing that it would shock you at ''any given moment''...
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: His ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV GTA Online]]'' vehicle colour is [[RealMenWearPink hot pink]] as seen in videos with the Sidemen.
* ComicalOverreacting: Specializes in it.
* CoolCar: Drives an orange Lamborghini Aventador with a custom license plate that has been given a partial black chrome wrapping, giving it a TronLines-style to it.
* CoolShades: An iconic trademark of his.
* TheCutie: JJ's former girlfriend Seana.
* DownerEnding: Callux and JJ's seven-second challenge [[spoiler:ends with Cal breaking his toe running into a wall, as well as JJ breaking his phone on the floor falling off a penny board.]]
* FollowTheLeader: His [=YouTube=] presence inspired his brother Deji to start a channel of his own.
* FunnyForeigner: He originates from Nigeria, and you can feel that African verve throughout his family.
* HairTriggerTemper: When you're ''this'' hammy, there's a lot of things that you can find to be pissed off about. Just look at BerserkButton above.
* HellIsThatNoise: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVRlEctlERs KSI's high-pitched scream.]] (6:05-6:25)
* HiddenBadass: KSI's dad. If KSI is to be believed, his dad put out a fire while completely nude.
* HiddenDepths: He's started experimenting with rap, as seen in his appearances on Sway's "No Sleep" and "Mac-10 Flow", as well as his ''Football Rap Battles'' episode in which he went up against Robin van Persie. He's really seemed to establish his own independent style with his solo song "Lamborghini". JJ has also released an autobiography called ''[[SelfDeprecation I Am a Bellend]]'' ([[MarketBasedTitle US title:]] ''I Am a Tool''). In addition, he's co-starring alongside Caspar Lee in an upcoming feature film called ''Laid in America''.
* TheHyena: Second only to Ethan in the Sidemen.
* HypocriticalHumor: KSI constantly teases Deji for being a pussy, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXwNorN_m3k HAVE YOU SEEN HIM PLAYING SCARY GAMES?]]
* InsultToRocks: After getting plain old Benzema in a 100,000-coin pack in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C389KvxsuaI "RAGE. Just Rage."]], JJ calls it "dog shit" but then states that this statement would itself be insulting dog shit.
* {{Jerkass}}: Has been accused of being very pompous and being very stingy about the amount of fucks he gives out.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Does take the time out to let his fans know that he appreciates them.
* [[XMustNotWin JJ Must Not Win]]: Endures a lot of this from the Sidemen, especially in ''Grand Theft Auto V'' races.
* {{Keet}}[=/=]LargeHam: Easily the most energetic and hammy member of the Creator/UltimateSidemen.
* KubrickStare: Part of his iconic rape face.
* '''''LargeHam.'''''[[note]]See CloudCuckooLander and watch the ''first ten seconds'' of the video.[[/note]]
* LiteralMinded: In some of his Q&A Sundays.
** One asked him to put a condom on his head, which he did...without even unwrapping it.
** Another asked him and Gudjondaniel to do Heskey's face. KSI drops a picture of Heskey on the floor and he and Gudjon hit it with giant dildos. Therefore, they ''did'' his face.
* TheMerch: He does have a Beast clothing line. A small clothing line, but a clothing line nonetheless.
* MindScrew: The start of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWIZLhetx1c this video]] has him preparing for a big game by running, flying, and swimming in space [[spoiler:before realizing that he can't breathe in space]]. He somehow goes to hell (literally), raises his hands, and is transported to his room. Even as he's narrating, JJ [[{{Corpsing}} corpses]] and says that even he has no idea what the hell is going on.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The state in which KSI's dad took on a house fire ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome and won.]]''
* NightmareFace: "Nightmare" is stretching it, but his rape face is at the very least unsettling.
** [[http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dYAJZ8B4ahQ/maxresdefault.jpg Moreso when he's a zombie.]]
* NoIndoorVoice: Oh yeah.
* NoYou: In one of his Q&As, he was asked how he would react if he woke up and his family was white. We then got this exchange:
-->'''KSI''': Why are you white?
-->'''White parent''': Why are you black?
-->'''KSI''': Touche.
* OncePerEpisode: At the start of all of his newer ''FIFA'' videos, there will be a quick ad for UT Cointraders, a place to get cheap and reliable ''FIFA'' coins.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: As "KSI" or "JJ", since "Olajide" is quite a mouthful.
* PantsFree: KSI had a habit of recording videos with no pants[[note]]As in trousers, not underpants, much to his confusion in a reaction video to a ''Teens WebVideo/{{React}}'' episode about him.[[/note]] on.
* PrimalScene: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnWl3S5f6dc one of his Q&A videos]], KSI gets a question about what he'd do if he walked in on his girlfriend cheating on him with Deji. [[ChainsawGood It doesn't end well.]]
* RageBreakingPoint: Basically he reaches this whenever he starts losing/loses a wager.
* RefugeInAudacity: Any joke he makes regarding the fact he's black.
* RunningGag:
** If you say "touchdown" in front of him, [[BerserkButton expect a computer to get broken.]]
** He's also known as "that rather fast black man".
*** At his shop, if you select on any item where he is modeling, it will say "Please note that the rather fast black man pictured isn't included. Sorry!"
* ScaryBlackMan[=/=]AngryBlackMan: '''''"Black maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan."'''''
** Note that "Scary" comes from the {{running gag}}s of [[BlackComedyRape rape-based humour]] with his rape face, "angry" comes from his excessive hamminess and quick tendency to get irked.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl
* SeriousBusiness: Football.
-->'''KSI''': THIS ISN'T JUST A GAME! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis THIS! IS! LIFE!]]
* ShirtlessScene: His [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS8lXfTKKME "Say it, don't spray it"]] Vine.
** We also see him shirtless in one of his Brazil vlogs, after giving his jersey to a kid.
* ShoutOut: His song "I'm On A Horse" parodies The Lonely Island.
* SirSwearsALot
* SoundEffectBleep: Occasionally, but nowadays he's dropped the censors.
* StuffBlowingUp: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Okl9mSifjU4 POINTLESS EXPLOSION!]]
* TemptingFate: His "PACK OPENING FAIL" video starts with saying that he knows EA will come through on giving him Team of the Year ''FIFA'' packs, only to spend the rest of the episode trying and almost always failing to get packs to open.
* TranquilFury: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C389KvxsuaI "RAGE. Just Rage."]] ends with JJ getting so pissed off by ''FIFA 15'' not giving him any TOTS cards despite the ''magnitude'' of 100,000-coin packs he opened, he is reduced to a stoic facade and very calmly throws his controller and trashes his room.
* UrineTrouble: In his "Hotel Water" video, he complains how his hotel charges £3.50 for water, so he drinks his piss...and promptly does a SpitTake.
* VerbalTic: "Nevertheless."
** "Ladies and gentlemen."
*** One time he [[LampshadeHanging captioned how often he was saying that before playing a game.]]
* WhyWontYouDie: KSI to almost every [[VideoGame/DeadSpace2 Necromorph]] that... won't die. Especially to the [[spoiler:Ubermorph]].
* WordSaladTitle: The moniker of "[=KSIOlajideBT=]".
** The "KSI" comes from the name of a ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}'' clan that he was in.
** "Olajide" is his actual given name.
** "BT" stands for British Telecom.
