History WebVideo / TheAngryJoeShow

* SoBadItsHorrible: Joe reviews many bad games, but this trope is his view on ''SonicFreeRiders'' and ''Mindjack.''

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Joe delivers one on Corporate Commander on the announcement of Ultimate MvC3.

** Try to make Joe watch a movie in 3D. What sets him off about 3D is the [[MoneyDearBoy surcharge added on to the price of a movie ticket]] as well as its improper implementation.
*** However, he is not above praising 3D visuals when they are executed properly, such as the slow motion effects in ''Film/{{Dredd}}''.

** Try to make Joe watch a movie in 3D. I dare you.
*** The 3D surcharge as well as improper implementation are what set Joe off about 3D. While he will always prefer 2D, he is not above praising 3D visuals when they are executed properly, such as the slow motion effects in Film/{{Dredd}}.
** Or you can try to make him play [[strike: KaneAndLynch]] any full-price game () that can be beaten in under 12 hours.

* BerserkButton: Try to make Joe watch a movie in 3D. I dare you.

A gamer with an off-the-wall reviewing style and a ''mite'' too much energy, "Angry" Joe Vargas got his start by submitting a video review for ''ArmyOfTwo'' giving constructive criticism that was surprisingly what the developers really wanted to hear. Angry Joe now does reviews and other videos on his own [[http://www.AngryJoeShow.com website]] and is a major contributor for Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.

Back in November 2010, he and the other video games segments of TGWTG were spun off onto their own separate website, [[http://www.blisteredthumbs.net Blistered Thumbs]], with Joe as the site's executive leader. Now, however, he has left Blistered Thumbs to create his own site located [[http://angryjoeshow.com/ here.]] In addition, he is a member of TheGameStation.

* TheJimmyHartVersion: The new show's intro ''is'' the ''GIJoe'' opening theme (with repurposed lyrics).

* DidNotDoTheResearch: Often a factor in his videos.
** In his ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' review, Joe lauded the game for being an original game in a market saturated with sequels. Although he is justified in this point of view given that "Westerns are an unproven genre in the games market", [[RedDeadRevolver Redemption itself is a sequel.]]
*** In more recent videos, he has referred to Redemption as a sequel, but he has not stated that his initial comments were incorrect.
*** It is a sequel in name only, though; there are no characters in common and the play style is totally different.
*** In a D&D session with [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] and on Twitter he mentioned he finally watched the series and loved it (though he was distressed by the lack of guns), which made him only hate the movie even more.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: He hates ''{{Fable}} 3'' because of most of the bullshit it has in the game (like Co-Op, easy, unbalanced battles, an AnticlimaxBoss, etc) yet the 32nd reason why he hates it is [[spoiler: because his ingame son and wife died in the cutscene after the fight against the king.]]

** ''{{Ghostbusters}}: [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames Sanctum of Slime]]'' made Joe so unbelievably mad that, instead of just doing a review, he first did a Let's Play to show just how bad the game is THEN did an angry review.
** ''[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]''[='=]s existence led Joe to do an Angry Rant that tore apart the lack of new features and price tag. He didn't even bother with a review.
** ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' and it's shoehorned conclusion. So bad, that Joe had to write a separate video, detailing the main reasons why he thinks it sucks so bad; and to further hammer in his distaste for the ending, the video was very clearly Joe Vargas speaking & not the Angry Joe persona.[[hottip:*:He admits though that the rest of the series, and 90% of ME 3 is still damned good]]

* BigNo:

** After losing [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Marvel vs. Capcom 3]] against WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic.

* CannotTellFictionFromReality: Joe plays so much ''Skyrim'', he thinks he's a knight, and attacks Corporate Commander... with a broom and a helmet made of foil.

** In his ''RedDeadRedemption'' review, Joe lauded the game for being an original game in a market saturated with sequels. Although he is justified in this point of view given that "Westerns are an unproven genre in the games market", [[RedDeadRevolver Redemption itself is a sequel.]]

* MsFanservice: [[http://www.lisafoiles.com/ Lisa Foiles]] of ''AllThat'' as the BridgeBunny of the New Angry Joe Show.

* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: According to WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic[='=]s ItsAWonderfulPlot ChristmasSpecial, had the Nostalgia Critic never existed, Angry Joe would've become a power president of the USA, who has people publicly executed and blows up Canada. And the people love him for it. (Although the public execution was for [[TheScrappy Tom Green]] and that Canada was, according to him, [[TheEmpire an evil empire]] in this alternate reality. [[WildMassGuessing Possibly ruled by Sea Horses.]])
* PraisingShowsYouDontWatch: [[invoked]]A variation. In his review of ''Film/TheLastAirbender'', he said he hadn't watched ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'', but insisted it couldn't be as bad as the movie, considering the fanbase and adoration for it.

* SincerityMode: His review on why the ''MassEffect3'' endings suck has him review it in a [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness quiet and understated]] manner.

* StylisticSuck: Parodied in the review for ''KaneAndLynch: Dog Days.'' Corporate Commander tells his employees to just take the first game and add tons of terrible {{Youtube}} video filter effects to screw it up and add ShakyCam until nothing is visible. "Yes! More! Excellent!"

* UnstoppableRage: Even worse when he becomes a [[Characters/{{GLRedLanternCorps}} Red]] [[GreenLantern Lantern]]

* {{Video Review Show}}

** He does not like it when people make fun of it (See [[Beserk Button]] below.

** ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' and its shoehorned conclusion. So bad, that Joe had to write a separate video, detailing the main reasons why he thinks it sucks so bad.[[hottip:*:He admits though that the rest of the series, and 90% of ME 3 is still damned good]]

** Or you can try to make him play [[strike: KaneAndLynch]] any full-price game ($60) that can be beaten in under 12 hours.

** ''[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]''[='=]s existence led Joe to do an Angry Rant that tore apart the lack of new features and $40 price tag. He didn't even bother with a review.

** ''SONIC FREE RIDERS!'' This game is the absolute worst game that Joe has '''ever''' reviewed. The entire review is [[BeyondTheImpossible one giant tangent about how horrible it is.]]

* TheCameo: He's the only person who can give [[AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] a run for his money in terms of appearing in other people's videos.

*** In a D&D session with [[TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] and on Twitter he mentioned he finally watched the series and loved it (though he was distressed by the lack of guns), which made him only hate the movie even more.

* FollowTheLeader: His style obviously shows some inspiration from WebOriginal/TheAngryVideoGameNerd. This was parodied in one of the Brawl crossover videos in which Joe gushes about meeting his chief inspiration and idol...only for it to turn out to be {{Benzaie}}'s sidekick Beary.
