Tropes

  • Acting for Two: Used in many of his reviews, such as his Dragon Age: Origins review as Darkspawn Joe and Warden Joe. This was also used heavily in his review of reasons why Empire: Total War rocks, forming two opposing regiments from just two people. He also plays Corporate Commander, though viewers wouldn't be able to tell ordinarily what with the character's mask.
  • Colbert Bump: If Joe uses another reviewer as a research source, expect that person's subscriber count to rise shortly after.
  • Cowboy BeBop at His Computer:
    • In both his reaction video and his review for the first three episodes of What If…? (2021), he mispronounces Yondu Udonta's name as Zandu.
    • In his review of Ratchet & Clank 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 film festivals before arriving into theatres.
    • In his Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Angry 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 vs. Capcom 2note , and many of the dedicated fans don't consider the latter two changes to be problems.
  • Follow the Leader: His style obviously shows some inspiration from The Angry Video Game Nerd. This was parodied in the first Channel Awesome anniversary Crossover in which Joe gushes about meeting his chief inspiration and idol... only for it to turn out to be Benzaie's sidekick Beary.
  • Real-Life Relative: He has featured his younger brothers in a few reviews.
  • What Could Have Been: Joe had plans for reviewing both WWE 2K18 and 2K19 the years they came out, even having purchasing masks for the skits, but due to time constraints, he was unable to review them for those years. He did wind up including 2K20 on his "Worst Games of 2019" list after playing it, although he didn't make a full review.
