History YMMV / TheAngryJoeShow

* ReplacementScrappy: To Joe, the second tiger cub in ''VideoGame/{{Kinectimals}}''.
* TheScrappy: Alex - while Joe and Other Joe have included third reviewers in their movie reviews all the time, Alex had continually rubbed fans the wrong way. Common complaints were that he added little to the conversation, he failed at defending his points, he tended to be negative towards everything, and he has a rather bland personality. When he joined them for trailer reactions, fans grew to dislike him for seemingly hating everything within the first 30 seconds of the trailer. If Alex was in a video, don't be surprised if a good chunk of the comments are from people complaining about him. It even became a RunningGag that on the video's thumbnail, his face will immediately tell viewers that he hated the film or was simply bored watching it.
** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Throughout 2019 and 2020, Alex began growing on a lot of people, particularly his slightly snarky attitude that has led to some genuinely funny moments. In addition, his contributions to the Angry Reviews' skits have increased and instead of making only negative points when he's present in discussions, he'll say positive aspects, while backing up his statements, something that's proven to be valid for many viewers. Out of all the Extended Review Discussions with Alex, many fans believe that ''The Last of Us: Part II'' review was him at his best for pointing out flaws that were correct. With Delrith leaving the show, Alex is now responsible for the Rapid Fire Reviews, which has been lauded by fans for its well-spoken dialogue and honest critique, as well as presenting an interesting and constrasting style to Joe's review format, leading some to affectionately dubbing Rapid Fire as the "[[{{Foil}} Calm Alex Show]]".

*** As a result, Angry Joe attempted to resolve this situation by uploading an Extended Review Discussion with Other Joe and Alex. Although they were able to flesh out their reasons for disliking ''Part II'' and also claiming that they never had any vendetta against creative director Neil Druckmann, there were fans that still panned him, regardless because of his stance on the game. It got to the point that Joe was infamously banned from [=ResetEra=] (a notoriously left-leaning games forum which also has "professional" journalists interaction) for his low score of the game and certain statements he said during it.

** ObviousBeta: similar to {{Microtransactions}}, if a game (especially a "live-service") has severe issues at launch involving GoodBadBugs, server instabilities, game crashes and inconsistent presentation/visuals, Joe will take these things into account for an Angry Review and score the game for what it is at release, not for what it can/will be post-launch, even if these issues might be resolved down the line.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: While Joe hasn't explicitly stated he does not want certain publishers not to adapt intellectual properties of licensed series into video games, he hates that the resulting products, such as ''VideoGame/Ghostbusters2016'', ''Rambo: The Video Game'' and ''[[Franchise/StarTrek Star Trek Trexels]]'', have absolutely nothing in common with that licensed work at all besides the title and is a complete mockery of that property.

** A little more minor one, but his ''VideoGame/Destiny2'' review [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLdQWtkH0aQ&feature=youtu.be&t=24m26s had him laughing]] [[https://www.polygon.com/2017/9/12/16296256/destiny-2-armor-hate-group-symbol-kek-kekistan-flag at the story]] that a symbol from the game was removed due to it resembling a white nationalist meme of "Kekistan". Joe laughed it off and didn't see the connection of the "Kekistan" symbol to white nationalism, so his accusations become more jarring when one can simply google the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichskriegsflagge#/media/File:War_Ensign_of_Germany_(1938-1945).svg Nazi Reichskriegsflagg]] and compare it to the flag of Kekistan to see the connection.
** In his ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'' review, he noted a few changes that appeared to be made for casual players at the expense of the dedicated fans: a simplified button layout, slower gameplay, and 2-on-2 battles. The button layout is basically the same as the layout in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2''[[note]]It replaces the assist buttons with the Infinity Stone and character switch buttons[[/note]], and many of the dedicated fans don't consider the latter two changes to be problems.

* 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]]Excluding expansion packs, ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' was on its fifth major installment when he published the review; ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' had six mainline games - the five numbered ones and ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' - but if one includes {{Spin Off}}s (''VideoGame/Halo3ODST'', ''VideoGame/HaloWars'' and [[VideoGame/HaloWars2 its sequel]]), that number goes up to ten[[/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'' review, the cutaway scene where Corporate Commander pushes ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' out the door despite being light on features takes on a new perspective after the ''[[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Mega Man Legends 3]]''[=/=]''[[UpdatedRerelease Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' fiasco.

** His "Top 10 Reasons ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines'' Will Kick Ass" is one, due to the near universal negative reception from critics towards the game and his own negative review.

** When he reviewed ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', giving it a much lower rating than the norm (6/10, compared to the glowing reviews others have given it), he stated that as a fan of [[VideoGame/SaintsRow2 the previous game]], he felt it was disappointing due to the removal of so many features, a shorter story, and some new additions he felt weren't very entertaining (a sentiment many fans of the franchise share). However, people who either disliked the previous games, enjoyed the game nonetheless or never played the previous game, were quick to call him out for "spending most of the video just reviewing ''Saints Row 2''" and giving the new game heat for not being as good as that.

** Many people felt Joe was being too harsh in his ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'' review: many blamed his score of 6/10 for the console version (compared to the 4/10 for the PC port) on him playing the terrible PC port first instead of the generally well received console versions. However, he ''did'' have many complaints about the game unrelated to the PC version's technical issues.
** In his ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'' review, he complained about the choice of Sigma as one of the main story villains just because he personally has no familiarity with the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series (and that he doesn't like Sigma's design), yet in a previous video he complained when it was confirmed that Mega Man isn't playable in ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3''. Prior to the release of ''Infinite'', some pro players had Sigma in their character wish lists.

** In his review with ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'', he panned the game and gave it a 6/10. Although many people agreed with him (for the most part), some game journalists and some fans have accused him of being either "toxic" or sexist for constantly hating on Abby and the game, with some of them even blaming him and his review for the death threats sent against Creator/LauraBailey (Abby's voice actress). Further criticism of his review comes from his actions when playing on stream - complaining about a perceived anti-male agenda, looking at the leaks before the game came out, and "not paying attention to the story it was trying to convey".
*** As a result, Angry Joe attempted to resolve this situation by uploading an extended review discussion with Other Joe and Alex. Although they were able to flesh out their reasons for disliking ''Part II'' and also claiming that they never had any vendetta against creative director Neil Druckmann, there were fans that still panned him, regardless because of his stance on the game. It got to the point that Joe was infamously banned from [=ResetEra=] (a notoriously left-leaning games forum which also has "professional" journalists interaction) for his low score of the game and certain statements he said during it.

** During his ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'' review, he comments how the new ship system that was created for the game could be used in the future to make a great pirate game. Creator/{{Ubisoft}} would eventually release ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'' as a pirate game.

** At the end of his ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' review, Joe [[TemptingFate makes a sarcastic remark]] about a possible sequel called "Marvelous Marvel vs. Capcom 3". A few months later, ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'' gets announced.

** During Joe's ''VideoGame/{{Deadpool}}'' review, Deadpool accuses Joe that he only cares about ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' when he panned his game, to which Joe responds with the fact that he didn't even review a single ''Call of Duty'' title. Eventually, when ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyAdvancedWarfare'' comes out...
** Joe had gag in his ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown'' review that the council chose to surrender to the aliens after it was clear he was losing. As of [[VideoGame/XCOM2 the sequel]], this turns out to be the canon ending.

** In Joe's ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' review back in 2012, he remarked that its "World versus World" game mode could use mounts so that players can get around faster. In 2019, the Warclaw mount was introduced to the game mode.
** In his review of ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'', he wears a hoodie and a jacket over his black Franchise/{{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]][[DontExplainTheJoke Davis drew said cover]][[/note]].

** [[VideoGame/DeadRising Hey]] [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Joe]], [[VideoGame/DeadIsland you]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil wanna]] [[VideoGame/DeadRising2 play]] ([[VideoGame/DeadIsland2 a]] [[VideoGame/Left4Dead2 motherfucking]]) [[VideoGame/DeadRising3 zombie]] [[VideoGame/DyingLight game]]?![[labelnote:Explanation]]Originating from the prologue of Joe's ''VideoGame/DyingLight'' review, this meme took off whenever another game he plays has {{Zombie|Stories}}s. Expect Other Joe to appear in the review with game in-hand, either asking this question or bare the same expression on his face, to mock Joe; even ''Dying Light'' developer Techland [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXm_PqIFx2w&t=1m0s got in on the meme]].[[/labelnote]]

*** [[{{VideoGame/Godzilla}} Godzilla is approaching the generator! The generator is losing power!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Spoken by the game's MissionControl, in his ''Godzilla'' review, Joe [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijQD2RYvCg4&t=9m05s calls out]] the repetitive CycleOfHurting game-play - that it's pointless to do any objectives other than destroying the generators.[[/labelnote]]

*** [[VideoGame/MindJack I don't know what is happen.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase with bad grammar that Joe points out in the ''Mindjack'' review.[[/labelnote]]

*** [[VideoGame/Fallout76 16 times the detail.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Although technically lifted from Creator/ToddHoward during the [[UsefulNotes/E3InThe2010s E3 2018 Bethesda conference]], Joe emphasizes the egregious lie in his ''Fallout 76'' review by showing a clip of the game's textures [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjrDbSgB9IU&t=11m47s destabilizing itself]].[[/labelnote]]

*** [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII ARE YA...ARE YA OUTTA YOUR MIND?!?!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Upon completing the game during a stream, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-sTlYUeT8o&t=9m3s Joe lets out this cry]] when the credits roll while voicing his discontent with ''Part II''. He even [[MemeAcknowledgement acknowledges his outburst]] in the extended review discussion.[[/labelnote]]

** The demonic Joe in his review of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''.

** In his review of ''Umbrella Corps'', there's a point where he shows his face to the camera and says "It's killing meeeee....". Only it's ''not'' just his face like normal. Using a filter, he manages to create perhaps one of the most horrifying faces ever put to video.
** The start of Angry Joe's review of ''VideoGame/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 off-screen by an unknown THING]]]]. If it wasn't for him [[BreakingTheFourthWall asking for Angry Joe's help]], one would SWEAR this was a live-action trailer for the game:

** Other Joe's googly eyed face in the ''Videogame/MassEffectAndromeda'' review.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Many of Joe's reviews fall under this trope.

** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Throughout 2019 and 2020, Alex began growing on a lot of people, particularly his slightly snarky attitude that has led to some genuinely funny moments. In addition, his contributions to the reviews' skits have increased and instead of making only negative points when he's present in discussions, he'll say positive aspects, while backing up his statements, something that's proven to be valid for many viewers. Out of all the extended review discussions with Alex, many fans believe that ''The Last of Us: Part II'' review was him at his best for pointing out flaws that were correct. With Delrith leaving the show, Alex is now responsible for the Rapid Fire Reviews, which has been lauded by fans for its well-spoken dialogue and honest critique, plus an interesting and constrasting style leading some to affectionately dub them the "Calm Alex Show."
* SpecialEffectFailure: Commonly averted well in green screen scenes, but PlayedForLaughs in the ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines'' review, when a scene for a LastStand 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 get played straight in some circumstances where there's an object that's also green, and the green screen effect got applied to said object, too. For example, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgY__iXpR0k&t=6m34s Gorn head in]] 2013 ''VideoGame/{{Star Trek|TheVideoGame}}'' review and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=tOPP4NUGexQ#t=88 the leaves]] in ''VideoGame/DivinityDragonCommander'' review. One can also see the outlines on the green t-shirt worn by "Sony Joe" in the ''[[VideoGame/{{Killzone}} Killzone: Shadow Fall]]'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT4XLwDjer0&list=PLBBDDA4B202570E78&index=14 review's introductory sequence]].

** Many people's reactions during the ColdOpen of the ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' review where he is dressed like a little girl.
** The photoshopping of his bearded head onto a [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]] model in the ''VideoGame/TombRaider2013'' review.
* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: The fandub on his channel of his ''Deadpool'' review, which Joe openly admits the person who made it did a much better impression of Creator/NolanNorth in his performance as Deadpool than what he had in his video.

** During the intro for his Franchise/GreenLantern game review, viewers are treated to an amazing (if silly) scene where Red Lantern Joe shoots up holes in the street while blasting at Other Joe.
** The effects in his outro for his ''[[Anime/DragonBallZ Dragonball Z Kinect]]'' [[http://youtu.be/H71FzemwVQU?t=12m49s review]], where he charges up his ki and fires a {{Kamehameha|doken}}, is also quite awesome looking and well done.
** For the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 introduction in his ''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 it's possible [[SpecialEffectFailure to see traces of the green shirt]] in the video.

** Joe's habit of interrupting Alex and Other Joe during discussion videos (especially when he's actually angry) kept getting a lot of flak for a good long while. Thankfully, it appears that recently, he's been trying to curb this habit and allowing others to finish their points before trying to rebut them.

** In his review with ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'', he panned the game and gave it a 6/10. Although many people agreed with him (for the most part), some game journalists and some fans have accused him of being either "toxic" or sexist for constantly hating on Abby and the game, with some of them even blaming him and his review for the death threats sent against Creator/LauraBailey (Abby's voice actress). Further criticism of his review comes from his actions when playing on stream - complaining about a perceived anti-male agenda, looking at the leaks before the game came out, and "not paying attention to the story it was trying to convey".\\\

As a result, Angry Joe attempted to resolve this situation by uploading an extended review discussion with Other Joe and Alex. Although they were able to flesh out their reasons for disliking ''Part II'' and also claiming that they never had any vendetta against creative director Neil Druckmann, there were fans that still panned him, regardless because of his stance on the game.

** '''''[[ItsShortSoItSucks FOUR HOURS!?!?]]'''''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Note it's not simply a BigWordShout, but rather gratuitously done in SlowMotion. Variants of this include games [[UpToEleven with even shorter times]] ("'''''THREE HOURS!!!'''''" or "'''''TWO HOURS AND FIFTY-TWO MINUTES?!?!'''''"), or other phrases done in slow-mo (particularly in his ''VideoGame/RideToHellRetribution'', with "'''''[[CriticalExistenceFailure FLY OFF TO THE RIGHT, AND EXPLODE!!! FLY OFF TO THE RIGHT, AND EXPLODE!!!]]'''''" and mocking the perpetual BulletTime drive and shoot sections by yelling how enemies shot at rides off dead for another hour while players are still firing "'''''INNNNN SLOOOOW MOOOOOTIOOOON!!!'''''").[[/labelnote]]
** "But is it/How can it be worse than ''VideoGame/{{Big Rigs|OverTheRoadRacing}}''?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]When Joe calls a game "The Worst Game Ever", something overly negative or gives a score of 1/10, a common retort in the comments is this.[[/labelnote]]
** [[CrackIsCheaper BECAUSE FUCK YOU, GIVE ME MONEY!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the modern and frequent use of microtransactions in video games, Joe will often call out the title's publisher for its blatant greediness by citing this reason, especially if the game already has a price at retail.[[/labelnote]]

*** [[{{Franchise/Rambo}} He's a man, not a god! Come on, comrades!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Enemies in ''Rambo: The Video Game'' repeat this so often, it becomes such a BrokenRecord, leading to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFFi3PHp5qM&t=21m50s Joe deliberately mocking it]].

** Joe's refusal to cover Nintendo games in light of their controversial Website/YouTube practices naturally had people split down the middle. While most will agree he has a right to be angry over their copyright claims, there are people who don't like that Nintendo games won't be covered at all considering he appears to have positive thoughts on some games that will never get seen because of this. Others seem to not be particularly happy with his passive aggressive tone, although this has come under fire from other people, including Joe himself, for coming off as sucking up to the company.

** A little more minor one, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLdQWtkH0aQ&feature=youtu.be&t=24m26s his Destiny 2]] review had him laughing [[https://www.polygon.com/2017/9/12/16296256/destiny-2-armor-hate-group-symbol-kek-kekistan-flag at the story]] that a symbol from the game was removed due to it resembling a white nationalist meme of "Kekistan".

** In his ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'' review, he noted a few changes that appeared to be made for casual players at the expense of the dedicated fans: a simplified button layout, slower gameplay, and 2-on-2 battles. The button layout is basically the same as the layout in ''Marvel 2'' [[note]]Just replace the assist buttons with the infinity stone and character switch buttons.[[/note]], and many of the dedicated fans don't consider the latter two changes to be problems.
* 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 5th 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 its 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.

** Joe gets invited to the [[http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2010/11/angry-joe-vga-2010/ VGAS]] to do an interview with [[http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2010/12/vga-victory/ fan-submitted questions]]. Awesome, how did the interview go? Uh, what's a kinder term for a [[http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2010/12/geoff-keighley-vgas-interview/ trainwreck?]] The main problem was that Joe was HoistByHisOwnPetard. From the start he made it clear his trip to the [=VGAs=] was "going behind enemy lines", showing that he was planning on being angry and hostile. All Keighley had to do was stay cool, and Joe would look like a clown for playing his character while conducting a serious interview.
** His "Top 10 Reasons Aliens Colonial Marines will Kick Ass" is one, due to the near universal negative reception from critics towards the game and his own negative review for the game.
** People getting excited for Joe getting the opportunity to cover Nintendo by getting a Wii U became this once Nintendo instituted aggressive copyright claims in the winter of 2014, which caused Joe to swear off from covering them and prevent fans from finding out his apparently positive responses to the Wii U and its games.

** His frequent complaints about micro-transactions and how they will become more and more invasive in Triple A games has rung true when in reviews since 2017, 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.
* HePannedItNowHeSucks: Whenever Joe gives an EightPointEight review, expect someone, or a large amount of someones, to comment about how 'wrong' he is. His complete aversion of FourPointScale (expanded on the main page) can make this worse. Case in point:
** While he already stated he enjoyed the film, during his review of ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' he made an offhand remark about how he thinks the film was better than ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'', which he admits he actually liked. Cue comments from unhappy fans decrying him for liking Transformers 2.
** When he reviewed ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', giving it a much lower rating than the norm (6/10, compared to the glowing reviews others have given it), he stated that, as a fan of the previous game, he felt it was disappointing due to the removal of so many features, shorter story, and some new features he felt weren't very entertaining (a sentiment many fans of the franchise share); however, people who either disliked the previous games, enjoyed the game none the less, or never played the previous game, were quick to call him out for 'spending most of the video just reviewing Saints Row 2' and giving the new game heat for not being as good as that.
** Putting ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' on his Worst games of 2012 list (despite not even having reviewed it) instead of Operation Raccoon 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.

** Many people felt Joe was being too harsh on VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight in his review. Many blamed his score of 6/10 for the console version (compared to the 4/10 for the PC port) on him playing the terrible PC port first instead of the generally well received console versions. However, he ''did'' have many complaints about the game unrelated to the PC version's technical issues.
** In his ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'' review, he complained about the choice of Sigma as one of the main story villains just because he personally has no familiarity with the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series (and that he doesn't like Sigma's design), yet in a previous video he complained when it was confirmed that Mega Man isn't playable in ''Ultimate VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''. Prior to the release of ''Infinite'', some of the pro players had Sigma in their character wish lists.
** In his streaming of ''VideoGame/Persona5'', he quickly got flak for not liking its 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.
** In his review with ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'', he panned the game and gave it a 6/10. Although many people agreed with him (Although for the most part), some game journalists and some fans have accused him of being either "toxic" or sexist for constantly hating on Abby and the game, with some of them even blaming him and his review for the death threats sent against Laura Bailey (Abby's voice actress). Further criticism of his review comes from his actions when playing on stream, from his complaining about a perceived anti-male agenda, looking at the leaks before the game came out, and not paying attention to the story it was trying to convey.
*** As a result, Angry Joe attempted to resolve this situation by uploading a review discussion with Other Joe and Alex. Although their review discussions was able to flesh out their reasons for disliking the game and also claiming that they never had any vendetta against Druckmann, there were fans that still panned him.

** During his ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'' review, he comments how the new ship system that was created for the game could be used in the future to make a great pirate game... and then Ubisoft confirmed ''Assassin's Creed IV'' as a pirate game.
** During his Xbox One interview with Major Nelson at E3 2013, Joe questioned why Microsoft is persisting with the more extreme DRM measures since they could just remove them from the console. Major Nelson did ''not'' take kindly to this, and got mad at Joe for the insinuation that Microsoft could remove the Xbox One's integral DRM measures at the flip of a switch. Less than a week later, Microsoft announced that the DRM measures would be removed following a patch upon release.
** At the end of his ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' review, Joe [[TemptingFate makes a sarcastic remark]] about a possible sequel called ''Marvelous Marvel vs. Capcom 3''. A few months later, ''Ultimate'' gets announced.
*** From his rant over ''Ultimate'', Joe complains about the new characters not being recognizable enough, one of which is Rocket Raccoon. Fast forward to 2014's ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' and Rocket Raccoon is suddenly very popular and recognizable to the point the Guardians have started to become A-List superheroes.
** During Joe's ''VideoGame/{{Deadpool}}'' review, Deadpool accuses Joe that he only cares about ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' when he panned his game, to which Joe responds with the fact that he didn't even review a single Call of Duty title. Later, ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyAdvancedWarfare'' comes out...
** He had gag in his ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown'' review that the council chose to surrender to the aliens after it was clear he was losing. As of the sequel, this turns out to be the canon ending.
** ''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).
** In Joe's ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' review back in 2012, he remarked that its World versus World game mode could use mounts so that players can get around faster. In 2019, the Warclaw mount was introduced to the game mode.
** 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]][[DontExplainTheJoke Davis drew said cover]][[/note]].
** Corporate Commander being the recurring BigBad of the skits becomes a lot funnier when ''VideoGame/TheOuterWorlds'' features actual Corporate Commanders (obviously not the same as Joe's) as enemies, meaning you too can now join Joe in retribution.
* HoYay: With a little Rohypnol the [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony One]] learns from personal experience that he's also quite hotblooded in bed.
-->'''Joe:''' I guess she's sleeping with him to ''get the job'', if you know what I mean... ''wait.''
* HypeBacklash: Joe often gets carried away by the hype for games he's interested in. When one of these falls short of his expectations... well that's when he gets ''really'' angry.
* JustHereForGodzilla: There is a sizeable potion of his fanbase who seems to only watch his reviews where he tears bad games apart, due to his entertaining rants, skipping his reviews on actually good games, his news show and his TV & Movie reviews entirely.

** '''''[[ItsShortSoItSucks FOUR HOURS!!!]]'''''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Note it's not simply a BigWordShout, but rather gratuitously done in SlowMotion. Variants of this include games [[UpToEleven with even shorter times]] ("'''''THREE HOURS!!!'''''" or "'''''TWO HOURS AND FIFTY-TWO MINUTES?!?!'''''"), or other phrases done in slow-mo (particularly in his ''VideoGame/RideToHellRetribution'', with "'''''[[CriticalExistenceFailure FLY OFF TO THE RIGHT, AND EXPLODE!!! FLY OFF TO THE RIGHT, AND EXPLODE!!!]]'''''" and mocking the perpetual BulletTime drive and shoot sections by yelling how enemies shot at rides off dead for another hour while players are still firing "'''''INNNNN SLOOOOW MOOOOOTIOOOON!!!'''''").[[/labelnote]]
** "But is it/How can it be worse than ''VideoGame/{{Big Rigs|OverTheRoadRacing}}''?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]When Joe calls a game "The Worst Game Ever" or something overly negative or gives a score of 1/10, a common retort in the comments is this.[[/labelnote]]

** [[VideoGame/DeadRising Hey]] [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Joe]], [[VideoGame/DeadIsland you]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil wanna]] [[VideoGame/DeadRising2 play]] ([[VideoGame/DeadIsland2 a]] [[VideoGame/Left4Dead2 motherfucking]]) [[VideoGame/DeadRising3 zombie]] [[VideoGame/DyingLight game]]?![[labelnote:Explanation]]Originating from the prologue of Joe's ''VideoGame/DyingLight'' review, this meme took off whenever another game he plays has {{Zombie|Stories}}s. Expect Other Joe to appear in the review with game in-hand, either asking the question or bare the same expression on his face, to mock Joe; even ''Dying Light'' developer Techland [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXm_PqIFx2w&t=1m0s got in on the meme]].[[/labelnote]]

*** [[{{Franchise/Godzilla}} Godzilla is approaching the generator! The generator is losing power!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In his ''Godzilla'' review, Joe [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijQD2RYvCg4&t=9m05s calls out]] the game's repetitive CycleOfHurting game-play - that it's pointless to do any other objectives other than destroying the generators.[[/labelnote]]

*** [[VideoGame/UmbrellaCorps Collect the infected DNA samples./Sample obtained.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar to the ''Godzilla'' example, Joe points out the single-player campaign's redundancy of the mission objective being the same thing for each of its 24 levels.[[/labelnote]]

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

ARE YA OUTTA YOUR MIND?!?!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Upon completing the game during a stream, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-sTlYUeT8o&t=9m3s Joe lets out this cry]] during the credits while voicing his discontent with ''Part II''.[[/labelnote]]

** The Geoff Keighley interview is going to haunt Joe for the rest of his life, a lot of people refuse to move on.
** His thoughts on ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'', to which he declares it as an "awesome fucking movie", has also been haunting him in some circles as well.
** The fact that he was not angry enough at a game has reached the point that there is not just one video condemning him for it but an entire playlist, replete with final battle...until tomorrow.

** The zombie makeup Joe wears in his ''Walking Dead Survival Instincts'' trailer.

*** Demon Joe's return in ''VideoGame/RideToHellRetribution'', thinking the game will push Joe to a HeroicBSOD. Not to mention how genuinely scary Joe's UnstoppableRage gets when he's reviewing the game.

** The start of Angry Joe's review of ''VideoGame/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:
--> '''Peter:''' "This is bad... real bad... Andre's dead- [[TearsOfBlood He's bleeding from his fuckin' eyes]], [[BloodFromEveryOrifice leaking blood all over!]] And Clancy? I don't even know where the FUCK he went! [[HillbillyHorrors The Baker family?]] [[AxCrazy Batshit fucking crazy!!]] ([[JumpScare Something crashes from offscreen, causing Peter to jump to see what it was]]) Listen- this tape? It needs to get to Angry Joe. I don't care how you do it, I don't care what you need to do to get it out there, but it needs to get to Angry Joe- (Another crash, this time much closer) AHHHHH, WHAT THE FUCK?! I can't take this anymore! These people- these FREAKS! Y-You gotta get the tape, you gotta [[DeadlineNews AHHHH-!]]"
** In his ''Top 10 Gaming Controversies of 2014'', Joe's number 2 spot was about the rising in Swatting that year, where many high profile streamers on Twitch have had the SWAT team called on them by people who think it's funny to call the police on people. One of the clips he showed was especially terrifying showing a person screaming in fear as the SWAT team broke into their house.

* TheScrappy: Alex - while Joe and Other Joe have included third reviewers in their movie reviews all the time, Alex had continually rubbed fans the wrong way. Common complaints were that he added little to the conversation, he failed at defending his points, he tended to be negative towards everything, and he has a rather bland personality. When he joined them for Trailer Reacts, fans grew to dislike him for seemingly hating everything within the first 30 seconds of the trailer. If Alex was in a video, don't be surprised if a good chunk of the comments are from people complaining about him. It even became a RunningGag that on the thumbnail, his face will tell viewers that he hated the film or was simply bored.

* 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 get played 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]].

** Also the photoshopping of his bearded head onto a [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]] model.
* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: The fandub on his channel of his Deadpool review, which Joe openly admits the person who made it did a much better impression of Creator/NolanNorth's performance as Deadpool than what he had in his video.

** 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.
** 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.
** For the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 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.

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

*** [[{{Franchise/Rambo}} He's a man, not a god! Come on, comrades!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Enemies in ''Rambo: The Video Game'' repeat this so often, it becomes such a BrokenRecord, leading to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFFi3PHp5qM&t=21m50s Joe deliberately mocking it]]. Due to its status, expect this to appear in any other ''Rambo'' media.[[/labelnote]]

*** Demon Joe's return in VideoGame/RideToHellRetribution, thinking the game will push Joe to a HeroicBSOD. Not to mention how genuinely scary Joe's UnstoppableRage gets when he's reviewing 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.

* ReplacementScrappy: To Joe, the second tiger cub in VideoGame/{{Kinectimals}}.
* 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. It has become a running gag that on the thumbnail his face will tell you that he hated the film or just be bored.
** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Throughout 2019 and 2020, it seems as if Alex has grown on for a lot of people, especially since his slightly snarky attitude has led to some genuinely funny moments. In addition, his contributions to the reviews have increased and instead of making all negative points, he now says something positive, which is proven to be valid for many viewers. Out of all the review discussion with Alex, many fans believe that The Last of Us: Part II review was the best for pointing out flaws that were proven to be correct.

*** [[{{Franchise/Godzilla}} Godzilla is approaching the generator! The generator is losing power!]]

*** [[VideoGame/UmbrellaCorps Collect the infected DNA samples/sample obtained.]]

** In his review of Umbrella Corps, there's a point where he shows his face to the camera and says "It's killing meeeee....". Only it's ''not'' just his face like normal. Using a filter, he manages to create perhaps one of the most horrifying faces ever put to video.

** [[CrackIsCheaper BECAUSE FUCK YOU, GIVE ME MONEY!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the recent and frequent use of microtransactions in video games, Joe will often call out the title's publisher for its blatant greediness by citing this meme as a reason, especially if the game already has a price at retail.[[/labelnote]]

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

*** [[VideoGame/Fallout76 16 times the detail.]]

*** [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII "Are... AREYA... ARE YA OUTTA YOUR MIND?!?!"]]

** In his review with TheLastOfUsPartII, he panned the game and gave it a 6/10. Although many people agreed with him (Although for the most part), some game journalists and some fans have accused him of being either "toxic" or sexist for constantly hating on Abby and the game, with some of them even blaming him and his review for the death threats sent against Laura Bailey (Abby's voice actress).

** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Throughout 2019 and 2020, it seems as if Alex has grown on for a lot of people, especially since his slightly snarky attitude has led to some genuinely funny moments.

** His increasing emphasis on News videos about the gaming industry with Sensastionalist headlines have also not been looked upon very kindly by his old time fans.

* 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 its 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.

* JustHereForGodzilla: There is a sizeable potion of his fanbase who seems to only watch his reviews where he tears bad games apart, due to his entertaining rants, skipping his reviews on actually good games entirely.
