History YMMV / TheAngryJoeShow

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftlY4O3Wti0 Angry Jooooooooeeee! Angry Joe is there,]] [[RepeatWhatYouJustSaid Angry Jooooooooeeee!]]

** Joe's increase in movie reviews and other gaming videos caused accusations that he was doing fewer Angry Reviews for games. Many viewers threw flames and automatic downvotes on his non-review videos. His announcement of a two-month vacation from game reviews only seemed to break the base more. Joe and other viewers responded with actual stats of how his number of reviews hasn't gone down any significant amount (and that previous years with fewer Angry Reviews did not cause the same complaints). The situation was further hurt by Joe deleting comments and then later turning off comments and the ability to thumb up or down videos, as this was seen as Joe being thin-skinned and unwilling to listen to criticism, much of which was no different that what he himself heaped onto content providers.

* CriticalResearchFailure: In his review of WesternAnimation/RatchetAndClank he claims that the movie is just a bunch of cutscenes from the game edited into a movie. This is a false claim as the movie was actually finished before the game and was even showed off at [[http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/04/10/ratchet-and-clank-movie-showing-at-cannes-in-may film festivals before arriving into theatres.]]

* FridgeBrilliance: When Joe dressed up as Doomguy (actually a Master Chief costume) to go to hell to get revenge on Corporate Commander and Demon Joe for making him suffer through ''VideoGame/UmbrellaCorps'' in his ''VideoGame/Doom2016'' review, Commander mistakes Joe as being dressed up as Master Chief - he'd be more familiar with the franchise that has pushed out more entries[[note]]not counting expansion packs, ''Doom'' was on its 4th game when he published the review; ''Halo'' had 6 mainline games - the 5 numbered ones and ''Reach'' - but if one includes spin-offs (''ODST'', ''Halo Wars'' and it's sequel) that number goes up to 10[[/note]]; Demon Joe, on the other hand, correctly realizes it's Doomguy they're facing - and as established in the ''Umbrella Corps'' review, since he shares Joe's DNA, he'd know Joe's weaknesses...as well as how Joe would deal with him and Corporate Commander.
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: From his ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 Mortal Kombat]]'' (2011) review, the cutaway scene where Corporate Commander pushes ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' out the door despite being light on features takes on a new light after the [[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Mega Man Legends 3]]/[[UpdatedRerelease Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3]] fiasco.

** Putting ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' on his Worst games of 2012 list (despite not even having reviewed it) instead of Operation Racoon City, (which he actually did review) and his only complaints about the game seemed to be the story moving from the series roots rather than anything gameplay related.

** In his streaming of ''VideoGame/Persona5'', he quickly got flak for not liking Persona 5's soundtrack, dismissing it as "jazz shit" and not actual music. This didn't suit well with both fans of the game and jazz fans in general. As for the game itself, while he doesn't pan it as a bad game, his obvious disinterest rubbed fans the wrong way. They criticise him for not even trying to engage himself in the game and was deliberately trying to nitpick it at every turn.

** The Geoff Keighly interview is going to haunt Joe for the rest of his life, a lot of people refuse to move on.

* NeverMyFault: Blamed his abysmal interview with Geoff Keighley on Geoff, the environment where the interview took place, and his own belief he would have more time but Spike screwed him over on that. This is despite there being moments where it's ''very'' clearly that Joe should be taking some of the blame, ''at least''.
** He stated in one of his E3 2011 videos that there was a lot of miscommunication on both parties, particularly that the guy in charge of PR at the VGA's ''never told Keighley that Joe was promised a sit down interview''. When they ran into each other at the convention, both of them managed to bury the hatchet about the whole fiasco.
** However in his top 10 gaming controversy video he does say he was inexperienced and poorly worded his questions.

** The start of Angry Joe's review of ResidentEvil7Biohazard begins with a disturbing ArtShift to a {{Found Footage Film|s}}, where [[DoomedByCanon Peter Walken]] [[ApocalypticLog is describing how his Sewer Gators film crew]] [[DwindlingParty is being picked off one by one]] [[spoiler: only to get [[NothingIsScarier ambushed and dragged offscreen by an unknown THING]].]] It it wasn't for him [[BreakingTheFourthWall asking for Angry Joe's help]], you'd SWEAR this was a Live-Action Trailer for the game:

* PlayerPunch: His last entry on the list of things he hated about Fable 3 was when his virtual wife and child were unceremoniously killed in a cutscene.

* SpecialEffectFailure: Commonly averted well in green screen scenes, but played for laughs in the ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines'' review, when a scene for a last stand eventually shows the charging Xenomorphs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGX2WE4QUw8#t=25m46s are merely scale models waved around by hand]], though it does play straight in some circumstance where there's an object that's also green, and the greenscreen effect got applied to said object too. For example, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgY__iXpR0k&t=6m34s Gorn head in ]] 2013 ''Star Trek'' review and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=tOPP4NUGexQ#t=88 the leaves]] in ''VideoGame/DivinityDragonCommander'' review. You can also see the outlines on "Sony Joe"'s green t-shirt in the ''[[VideoGame/{{Killzone}} Killzone Shadow Fall]]'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT4XLwDjer0&list=PLBBDDA4B202570E78&index=14 review introductory sequence]].
* {{Squick}}: Many people's reactions during the ColdOpen of the ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' review where he is dressed like a little girl.
** Also the photoshopping of his bearded head onto a [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]] model.

** For the UsefulNotes/{{Playstation 4}} introduction in his ''[[VideoGame/{{Killzone}} Killzone Shadow Fall]]'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT4XLwDjer0&list=PLBBDDA4B202570E78&index=14 review]], he uses a green shirt over a green screen to cast himself as a disembodied floating head...[[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE]]! Though you can [[SpecialEffectFailure still see traces of the green shirt]] in the video.

** [[CrackIsCheaper BECAUSE FUCK YOU, GIVE ME MONEY!]]

** Has an entire menagerie for various bad games that will often get mixed and matched:

*** [[VideoGame/MindJack I don't know what is happened.]]

*** [[VideoGame/MaddenNFL Four Faces! The same fucking four faces! they did not even changed the position of the faces!]]

** In his review of ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'', he wears a hoodie and a jacket over his black ''Superman'' shirt. One can't help but wonder if one Shane Davis watched the episode, since Joe's cosplay is almost identical [[http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/113/1130517/superman-earth-one-20101026115150707.jpg to the cover of]] the first issue of ''ComicBook/SupermanEarthOne''[[note]]Davis drew said cover[[/note]].

** His thoughts on ''Film/SuicideSquad'', to which he declares it as an "awesome fucking movie", has also been haunting him in some circles as well.

*** [[VideoGame/MaddenNFL Four Faces! The same fucking four faces! they did not even changed the position of the faces!

** His frequent complaints about micro-transactions and how they will become more and more invasive in Triple A games has rung true when in more recent reviews, he has covered games where micro-transactions have become more invasive, with difficulty and progression often compromised to try to cram RevenueEnhancingDevices down players' throats and new ones being patched in after launch to dodge reviewers.

* [[GrowingTheBeard Growing The Mustache]]: Right on the very first episode of its new season, the show introduces a new scenery, new characters, a steady storyline, a main antagonist, and a new, fully animated opening theme. Talk about instant facial hair...

* InternetBackdraft: After a less-than-lukewarm response to a giveaway contest from his female fans, he tweeted that the females that did not enter [[http://twitter.com/AngryJoeShow/status/11172436671 were stupid and that he hated them.]] The women of the Angry Joe Army were NOT pleased.
** When Joe found out about ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' DLC / microtransactions, he became ''very'' upset over it over Twitter. When people started to disagree, he called them [[http://twitter.com/AngryJoeShow/status/26205859438 Valve Apologists]], actually getting [[http://twitter.com/AngryJoeShow/status/26207067142 upset that people kept disagreeing]], started retweeting arguments (that even a [[http://twitter.com/HopeWithinChaos/status/26208530029 fellow Channel Awesome guy said wasn't a good idea]]), and ultimately [[http://twitter.com/AngryJoeShow/status/26212082028 took pleasure that people unfollowed him because of his opinion]].
** His interview with Geoff Keighly at the 2010 Spike [=VGAs=] and his later interview with Seth Killian at PAX Prime 2011.
** His being one of the few {{Website/That Guy With The Glasses}} members who actually liked ''{{Film/Man Of Steel}}'' might have had a chance at going over okay, if only he didn't insult everyone who didn't like the film. This one saw a slight improvement, when he co-reviewed it with WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and both were fully respectful of the other's views. Not the case with the rest of the reviewers, though.
** His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6UVoEf8fKU video]] of promoting ''[[Film/KickAss Kick-Ass 2]]'' has attracted a lot of vitriol, with some viewers accusing Joe of being a sell out, threatening to unsubscribe from his Youtube channel or accusations of him abusing his popularity.
** After Joe's Titanfall review pointed out that the game was largely over-hyped, showing the near-perfect scores for the game, using screen-caps from serveral game reviewing sites, including [=IGN=]. Dan Stapleton, a reviewer from [=IGN=] was not happy and took it up on Twitter. [[http://cheezburger.com/245509 Here's how it went down.]]
** While Joe's Nintendo issues have more of a BrokenBase at least supporting his dislike of the copyright system rather than a backdraft, his video descriptions in his rants and several tweets calling fans of the company hypocrites with NostalgiaFilter.
** Saying that ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' should give him a recap video on the story rubbed man fans and non-fans of Kingdom Hearts the wrong way, especially how HD remixes, Wiki pages, and videos by other youtubers exist to recap the series. It makes Joe seem lazy at best and selfish at worst. Not helping was that instead of listening to fans or just admitting he didn't want to play the older games, Joe deflected the issue, and began to insult in the fans by describing them as "rude and entitled", which was not well received either.
** In response to the controversy over the trailer for ''VideoGame/BattlefieldV'' and the game's low pre-order figures, he addressed the people who were upset by EA [[PoliticallyCorrectHistory including a woman with a prosthetic arm as a prominent WWII combatant]], saying that other factors such as the timing of its release were more important reasons why pre-orders were low. He was quickly hit with the worst backdraft he'd ever gotten, complete with reply videos (and reply videos to his reaction). He commented in said reaction video that he'd never been on the receiving end of anything like it, before. Ironically, Joe would give the game a mediocre score and listed it one of the most disappointing games of 2018, which led to Joe's fans criticizing the trolls for attacking him before the game comes out.
** His review of Nintendo’s E3 2019 Press Conference was quickly met with a lot of backlash, with the primary criticism being how [[DullSurprise surprisingly bored]] Joe and his group were throughout the video, especially when compared to his previous reviews of E3’s other press conferences. Not helping matters is Joe’s bad history with Nintendo in the past, leading to some to accuse Joe of having a personal bias against Nintendo.

** Fans of ''Disney/RalphBreaksTheInternet'' did not like his views on the movie, especially as barely a minute into the review he interrupts Joe to outright proclaim that is a bad movie without even bothering to explain why or let Joe explain his flaws with the film. This upset fans because it looked like the review would be just Joe rather than a group review. A few long time casual Joe fans had outright unsubscribed from his Website/YouTube channel because of this, with some admitting that they'll return until Alex leaves the movie reviews.

* MagnificentBastard: Though angry about it, Joe's rants about how Geoff Keighley was "prepared for him" and was in control of what he was doing the whole time in "f***ing with him" actually make Geoff seem like a Magnificent Bastard.

** Fans of Ralph Breaks The Internet did not like his views on the movie, especially as barely a minute into the review he interrupts Joe to outright proclaim that is a bad movie without even bothering to explain why or let Joe explain his flaws with the film. This upset fans because it looked like the review would be just Joe rather than a group review.

** The effects in his outro for his ''Anime/DragonBallZ Kinect [[http://youtu.be/H71FzemwVQU?t=12m49s review]], where he charges up his ki and fires a [[{{Kamehamehadoken}} Kamehameha]], is also quite awesome looking and well done.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftlY4O3Wti0 Angry Jooooooooeeee! Angry Joe is there,]] [[RepeatWhatYouJustSaid Angry Jooooooooeeee!]]
** Both the metal-style chiptune music introducing the reviews and the uncredited ThrashMetal song that plays at the end of each episode. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzlMB-jJgvk GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]]

** His frequent complaints about micro-transactions and how they will become more and more invasive in Triple A games has rung true when in more recent reviews, he has covered games where micro-transactions have become more invasive.

* TheScrappy: Alex. While Joe and Other Joe have included third reviewers in their movie reviews all the time Alex has continually rubbed fans the wrong way. Common complaints are that he adds little to the conversation, he fails at defending his points, he tends to be negative towards everything, and he has a rather bland personality. Now that he is joining them on Trailer Reacts fans have grown to dislike him for seemingly hating everything within the first 30 seconds of the trailer. If Alex is in a video don't be surprised if a good chunk of the comments are from people complaining about him

** His tribute to [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis JewWario]] and then his attacking of people who didn't like it becomes this now that it has been revealed [=JewWario=] sexually harassed at least one underage woman and that was why he had to leave Channel Awesome

** His frequent complaints about micro-transactions and how they will become more and more invasive in Triple A games has rung true when in more recent reviews, he has covered games where micro-transactions have become more invasive.

** ''VideoGame/Mindjack'', which was about controlling other people and objects, was #1 on his worst games of 2011 list. [[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey The next time]] he ended up including a game with that as a feature on one of his lists, it was #2 on his ''Best of'' for that year (2017).

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: During the intro for his Green Lantern game review, we are treated to an amazing (if silly) scene where Red Lantern Joe shoots up holes in the street while blasting at Other Joe.
