''(The Cyberpunk 2077 logo appears then fades out to Angry Joe's space station as gun clicks are heard offscreen. Joe then walks on screen with a sour expression on his face and fires three random shots offscreen, he can only say his usual {{catchphrase}} at this entire situation.)''\\

'''Principal Joe:''' You're ''better'' than this! You know, I'm sorry i have to do this to you but, detention. ''Detention for the rest of the semester!'' No! Detention until this ''entire situation'' is fixed! Get out of my sight! I can't-- I can't even look at you anymore.

'''Angry Joe''': Amen.

-->'''Angry Joe''': When you completely '''shit''' on the characters that we've loved for so long; when you replace them with '''worse''' characters; when you treat your ''few'', new good characters like '''shit''' and misuse ''them'' even; when you leave everything in a worse place than before, and make us ''not even give a shit about the license anymore'', '''it is a bad fucking time''', period! And a bad fucking game! [...] And that's why, for me, ''The Last of Us 2'' was '''so''' disappointing, that it went to the worst games of the year! And you can add on to that the overreaction from developers and industry insiders who circled the fucking wagon, calling this the best game ever made as a knee jerk [reaction] to some upset fans who voiced their concerns with the game after some of the leaks were shared.

->'''Alex''': No, no. Stop making excuses for people who delay the game for nine months to put it out in this state. Stop. This is why games continue to come out in this state because people like you are making excuses for people like them. It is not appropriate; this is not how video games should have to work. There are literally companies you can hire to stress test your servers for you to make sure that shit doesn't happen and they chose not to do that so they don't get credit for working on the weekend because they didn't do their fucking job for the last nine months. That is not how this work. Games come out unfinished because ''you people'' keep apologizing for them. "Oh, no, it's fine! No, this big plate of spaghetti's got shit all over it, but it's fine: the spaghetti underneath's still good!" No, stop it! That is not how this works. You, as a consumer, you paid your money - you deserve better. Have some more fucking self-respect.
->'''Angry Joe''': Amen.

* Just the way Joe utterly slammed VideoGame/RideToHellRetribution. Special credit goes to how he blows his stack with the game's portrayal of women and how they all want to bang the main character... even if it's mere ''moments'' after they've been sexually assaulted.
-->'''Joe''': ''That is '''disgusting, awkward, tone-deaf, shameful, wrong, juvenile, dirty, creepy, insulting, and it's JUST PLAIN FUCKING STUPID!!!'''''

** In-Game, he admits that he eventually [[ImprobableAimingSkills got pretty good at scoring]] [[BoomHeadshot headshots]] [[ImprobableAimingSkills on a regular basis]]. This is illustrated by a brief clip of him using a {{Handgun}}, and [[CurbStompBattle taking out 5 enemies with 5 well-placed shots]].
-->'''Joe''': Oh yeah, [[BadassBoast don't fuck with Angry Joe]] [[UnstoppableRage when he's so fucking tired of playing this damn game!]]

-->'''Joe''': [[LargeHam I have]] '''''[[LargeHam exorcised]]''''' [[LargeHam the demons!]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_QK-lcW8a8 Joe's rant on the technical issues of]] ''VideoGame/TotalWarRomeII'' [[UpToEleven for 30 minutes!]]

** He followed this up by putting ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'' in his worst games list of 2020, pointing out the general lack of innovation in gameplay, the glaring moment of the game's treatment of revenge for Ellie and Abby, the favoritism given to the latter over the former, the inflated accolades given by the game media industry; and, finally the story's [[TooBleakStoppedCaring overtly dark setting and narrative]] and [[EightDeadlyWords unlikable characters taking away any enjoyment one could derive from the franchise retroactively.]]

** The end of the review, where [[spoiler:Joe kills Demon Joe a second time by [[MinorInjuryOverreaction giving the game a 1/10]]]].

* Angry Joe demands a refund for ''[[VideoGame/SonicRiders Sonic Free Riders]]''... and succeeds, despite video game stores usually refusing to refund opened, non-faulty games. ([[FridgeBrilliance He claimed the game was broken]].)

* In his review of ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'' Joe doesn't simply criticize the game's infamous twist of killing Joel and playing as Abby because it killed Joel. He actually proposes an idea for how it could have worked by having the player witness a traumatic event as Abby, build up to her wanting her revenge, and the player doesn't even realize the target of her revenge until it's too late. Then Ellie meets Abby, and forms a duo with her, until Abby learns who Joel and Ellie are. Then she kills Joel. He came up with an idea for how the plot could have worked in a few minutes. As the game is, he points out that the game's plot is held back by mostly focusing on Abby and her friends, whom he finds to be poorly written characters. To top it all off he notes the message about revenge [[BrokenAesop falls flat]] since Abby goes around murdering so many people herself and never seems bothered, which is a big part of why he finds her so unlikable.

* Joe calling out Hello Games for their blatantly misleading advertising of "No Man's Sky" in his review.

* Angry Joe and Other Joe's reaction to [[DynamicEntry Kiryu jumping out of the balcony to the window and entering the bathroom]] where there are several Yakuza members, much to their amusements.

* Donning his Corporate Commander outfit (sans helmet) and making an anti-SOPA PSA outside of the ''United States Capitol Building'' despite ''[[HolyShitQuotient snipers]]'' gathering on the roof as he was filming.

* How does Joe start his review of Doom? By suiting up as Doomguy and going to Hell to kill not just Demon Joe and Corporate Commander but also a small army of demons and Satan himself! The reason? Making him play ''VideoGame/UmbrellaCorps'', which is considered by many to be a hideous spin-off of the Resident Evil franchise.

* Joe [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQfHdasuWtI calling out]] YouTube over ([[RunningGag yet another]]) screw up. The real cake is Joe asking Google if they're going to give back the money that they gained from the Content ID incident to charity if they agree with publishers who generated revenue off of a five-ten second clip. The pause that Joe gives after that really shows he's not pleased with Google's stance...

* The ending of his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H71FzemwVQU&feature=em-uploademail-new Dragonball Z Kinect review]]. VisualEffectsOfAwesome doesn't begin to describe it.

** From the same video, Joe stuffs his face with Doritos and Mountain Dew, effectively calling out [[CorruptBureaucrat Geoff]] [[SmallNameBigEgo Keighley]] for "Dorito-Gate". After this, Joe proceeds to expose how and why game journalism derailed to essentially advertising for major game companies, all the while [[HeartwarmingMoments admitting that he's just a gamer who loves making videos for his fans.]]

* While playing ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfMordor'', Joe gets into a fight with a Warchief named Olgoth the Humiliator... who quickly turns out to be ThatOneBoss [[MeaningfulName given his habit]] [[CruelMercy smugly walking off whenever Joe is forced into the game's]] HeroicSecondWind system. Said system causes Olgoth to hit the combat level cap of 20 and gain an effective OneHitKill with his spear. Needless to say, when Joe finally beats him (with ''decapitation'') we cheer with him. It also crosses over into CrowningMomentOfFunny as Olgoth repeatedly beating him causes Joe to undergo what can only be described as a descent into insanity.

* In his Angry Review of ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'', Angry Joe [[PennyArcade karate kicks a helicopter.]]

--> '''Joe''': Historically, in a male-dominated gaming industry, has the DamselInDistress trope been used over and over? You bet your ass it has! Would it be cool if developers continued to explore other stories in addition to those? Yes, it would! Does it sometimes make women feel uncomfortable to be oversexualized non-stop in the games that they play daily? Sure! And maybe that's something that you will never understand or even care about, but do they have a right to say something about it without being called a femenazi, ''without'' getting death threats or rape threats? ''Hell yes, they do''! And I'll defend their right to do it against ''anyone'' ... So take a breather and realize, it's perfectly fine for women to ask questions, to criticize pointless, exploitative material, and to look forward to more games that elevate their gender to more than just goals and objects to be won or saved, but into legitimate heroes in their own right. And after all that, if you still don't get it, bro, and you think she should die and every feminist with her, it's because, number one, you're a '''''[[PrecisionFStrike fuckin']]''''' idiot. Number two, you couldn't give a shit about anyone but yourself. And number three, outside your ''mother'', you've never had to actually care about what other women think or feel, say a gamer girlfriend, or hell, in the future, your own daughter. Imagine that, and the games she'll play. And like it or not, more and more women are gamers, just like you and I.
