This familiar-looking Capitol Hill invader sent Jamiroquai trending – 13 favourite jokes

John Plunkett. Updated January 7th, 2021

You’ll have seen by now the terrifying scenes from the United States where armed supporters of Donald Trump invaded the Capitol building and forced it into lockdown.

A woman was shot dead by police and three others died of ‘medical emergencies’, according to reports. Order was eventually restored and Congress has now certified Joe Biden’s win in November’s presidential elections.

One unexpected consequence was that the violent protests sent Jamiroquai trending because this guy looked uncannily like the band’s founding member and lead singer, Jay Kay.

It prompted no end of jokes on Twitter, as you might imagine. And just like Jamiroquai songs, they were all different but basically the same.

Just to be clear …

"And anyway, Jamiroquai is the BAND name, not the band-leader. Absolute amateurs!" #jamiroquai pic.twitter.com/cPe97FNoXL
