MC Too Few Bars. I was suppose to get some work done in my studio today, instead I did this.
To my fellow dummies… Let’s try to be kind of smart together.
Social commentary
And they say Tik Tok’s for teenagers…
I know I seem pretty chill, but this is how I feel on the inside. #tbt
I grew up with eight brothers and sisters, you’d think it would be easy to get lost in the fold. I never expected my father to make it to any of my weeknight hockey matches, especially since most of my siblings played sports or were involved in extra curricular activities. Yet, without fail, I’d inevitably look up into the stands and there he was, still in his work clothes, cheering me on. And strangely, all of my siblings had the same experience. I seriously think he invented a teleportation device. And to this day, everyone who is lucky enough to be in my father’s life has a similar experience. From his children, to his grandchildren, his friends, his neighbors, to his church community… How does he have the time to be lovingly present and so generous with his time for so many people simultaneously? Again, the teleportation device theory seems quite plausible. But then again, I think it might just be love. Happy Father’s Day to the best dad ever made in the world. I love you. Montreal, Quebec
Doing some spring cleaning and came across all the mini DV tapes from my old Youtube videos. Whoa. This makes me feel old. Hey kids, these tapes, a bulky camcorder, and a desktop computer with a pirated version of Final Cut used to be what it took to make the equivalent of a Tik Tok video. If you don’t know what a desktop computer is, it’s like your phone, except 1000 times bigger, and 1000 times slower.
P.S. My handwriting has only gotten worse over the years.
There isn’t much about the insanity of the past year and a half that I’m going to miss… Well, except for this one little thing.
I will forever be in debt to all of the beautiful and brilliant humans who, in some way or another, have carried us through this thing, and continue to do so every day. What an incredible gift, and privilege, to be able to be annoyed by friends, in person, once again. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Written and performed by Jon Lajoie

She not only gave birth to and raised nine children, but she did it without the internet, cell phones, or even cable. That alone should earn her a place in the motherhood hall of fame. She made sure we all felt loved, and special, while somehow keeping us all fed, healthy, and happy. She never complained, and even more impressively, never once made fun of my haircut and earring. Not once. She always encouraged me to pursue acting, music, and the arts, which in hindsight is reckless parenting, but I’m incredibly grateful that she believed in me even when I didn’t. Today she is the funnest, silliest, most playful grandma ever to her 11 grandchildren (and counting), a shining light in her community, and still the best mom ever made in the world. I love you so much, mom. Thank you for EVERYTHING. Happy Mother’s Day
I’m spring cleaning/bored as fuck so I’m going through my old mini DV camera tapes and digitizing the old footage from the early Youtube days. So many memories. This is the first shot of the first comedy song/music video I ever made. I’m alone in Saint-Bruno National Park, my little iPod in my pocket, one headphone in my left ear (hidden by my sexy boy hair) so I can lip sync to the song. You can see me look around before I start singing to make sure no one is around. I must have looked strange. I’m not one to give advice to anyone, but I want to hug this 27 year old version of myself and thank him for trying something new, and for following the little voice inside of him that said “Give it a shot, what do you have to lose?” It’s so easy to NOT try to do new things, to push outside of our comfort zone. I know I find it way harder with age. But if you happen to hear that voice calling you to try your hand at something new, maybe take a beat before ignoring it. You never know, maybe you too could be the “High as Fuck” guy for the rest of your life. 😊 #tbt #throwbackthursday
This is awesome album art made by my friend the talented @justinslademcclain for my silly Too Old Old for Tik Tok song and dance I put out on Friday. The album art is way too good for the song, and REALLY makes me want to play Mortal Kombat 2.
If you’re a parent of young children who are home 24/7, and you’re slowly turning into Michael Douglas from Falling down, this one’s for you. She’s clearly the talented one in the family. Amazing mom, teacher, musician, sibling… Love you Jess!
If you need a fun, silly, light-hearted distraction from, well, everything, Last One Laughing Canada is now streaming on Prime Video. Lots of lovely, talented, hilarious Canadians (and me) trying to make each other laugh for charity. The premise is simple: You laugh, you’re out! I’m playing for @doctorswithoutborders
Uh oh
Can someone please add “Separation of church and epidemiology” to the first amendment? Jesus Christ. I grew up in an evangelical church, and am friends with a lot of them, for the most part, they are good, kind, loving people. This rich motherfucker is a demon.
Every answer Trump gives at his press conferences. I can’t believe David Brent is our boss right now.
This is my love letter to the 1990 B-Horror movie Tremors, which, for many reasons, had a big impact on me as a 10 year old (and subsequently, for the rest of my life). A little backstory…
The songs I write as Wolfie’s Just Fine often take place in the worlds of pop culture from my youth. Without saying too much about it, the Wolfie’s Just Fine EP “Perfection, Nevada” thematically lives in the world of the movie Tremors, and the song “Trying to Sleep” is written from the point of view of one of the Graboids. I’ve always wanted to shoot a music video for this song, but in the end, the visuals I saw were so intertwined with the movie that it kind of felt like sacrilege to attempt to superimpose other images onto it. And since I’m social distancing, and have A LOT of time on my hands, I made this.
Breaking it down shot by shot was an absolute joy, and made me love and appreciate the movie even more than I already did. I’m forever grateful that the director, Ron Underwood, screenwriters Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson, and the entire cast and crew came together 30 years ago to make a strange and unique piece of timeless pop culture, that, not only entertained me, but provided a world for me to explore and get lost in 30 years later.
p.s. Disclaimer!! I don’t own the rights to any of the footage (Universal does!). I’m not making money off this video in any way (it’s not monetized anywhere), and so I hope maybe the creators and copyright owners will see this for what it is, a loving homage to their brilliant, and lasting work. (And free promotion! It’s streaming on Netflix right now, go watch it!)
Hey friends, I had the real joy and honor to get to write the songs for the musical episode of the absolutely mind-blowingly good series The AfterParty, and to collaborate with the dream team of @chrizmillr , @rejectedjokes , @thesamrichardson , @jackdolgen, and Daniel Pemberton. It’s so much fun, the cast is insane, you won’t want to miss it. It’s out today on AppleTV, and if you don’t have AppleTV the first episode is up on Youtube for free!
I’m a day late for #nationalsiblingday, but here are the baby pics of all nine Lajoie siblings (I’m on the top right). I’m so incredibly grateful to have landed on this planet surrounded by such beautiful, loving, and kind people. Also, I’m really sorry for all the terror I unleashed on a lot of you during my terrible teens! I love you, I’m so proud of you all, and I’m so happy we have each other. Also, shoutout to my parents for how the f$&k did you raise nine kids are you insane!!? Love you all so much. Montreal Canada
Things were already feeling pretty post-apocalyptic before running into a coyote just chilling in the middle of a normally busy LA street, in the middle of the day. Maybe he’s just social distancing from his pack like the rest of us? Good coyote. Los Angeles, California
I released this Wolfie’s Just Fine song/video exactly two years ago today. I didn’t know it at the time, but it’s a pretty prophetic depiction of my mental state after two months of quarantine. Starring the great Xander Berkeley as my fragile psyche.
But make your own mask! It’s easy, link in bio. Our medical professionals on the frontlines need the medical-grade ones, we do not.
Needed to get out of the house, taking a little stroll. Learned how to make my homemade mask from a cool how-to video Sam Raimi made. Works great!
