YMMV / Jon Lajoie

Go To

  • Anvilicious:
    • "Michael Jackson is Dead" is a scathing and unsubtle rant at both the media and general public's hypocrisy toward Michael Jackson, demonizing him while he was alive and canonizing him after he died.
    • Similarly, "Song for Miley" calls out the general public and the media for their hypocritical outrage about Miley Cyrus VMA twerking while being totally fine with several other celebrities doing the same thing in music videos.
    • From "WTF Collective 2", there is "MC Homophobic Fucking Asshole" named that way just in case it wasn't clear homophobia is bad.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: Actually, he crosses it much more often than that.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Steve. "You want some of this, bitch?!"
  • Fridge Brilliance: MC Final Verse says in WTF Collective 2, "One was enough, we didn't need a sequel Jon. Make a fourth Show Me Your Genitals or another Normal Guy." After Chorus Guy's suicide, who shows up but MC Vagina. In addition the first rapper in WTF Collective 3? MC Normal Guy.
    • "A New Beginning", a song he released under his alternate branding of Wolfie's Just Fine (which focuses more on serious music, than comedy), is about watching Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning at a young impressionable age. However, the chorus includes the line "Here comes Jason" repeated over and over, despite the fact that A New Beginning is actually about a copycat killer named Roy Burns, and not Jason Voorhees. That is, until you remember that Jon is watching this as a child, and is clearly too busy being traumatized by the violence to actually pay attention to the story, it would make sense that he would have it burned into his head that the villain is Jason, considering Jason was massively popular in the '80s, even to people who hadn't seen the movies.
  • Funny Moments: "Pop Song", and everything M.C. Vagina says.
    • In "Fuck Everything":
    And fuck coasts I don't give a fuck 'bout where water meets land
    And fuck boats just cause you float you think you so fuckin' bad?
    And fuck jokes I don't need to be funny all the time
  • Harsher in Hindsight: In "Everyday Normal Crew", Jon notes that Steve will "probably have a heart attack sometime soon." Nino, the actor who played Steve, passed away in 2014.
  • Ho Yay: Taken to a ridiculous extreme in this sketch.
  • Squick: Taken to hilarious extremes in Birthday Song, which tells you everything you never wanted to know about how you came into existence.
    • Possibly worse than that is "In Different Ways," an R&B ballad about penile dismemberment.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: "Pop Song." Lajoie plays every member of the band, and it's actually quite hard to tell. Even the editing is genuinely high-quality.
  • The Woobie: MC Insecure, MC Amnesia, Chorus Guy, MC Knows Too Many Facts About Bees, and the dancer from "I Can Dance" who was molested as a child.
