Angry Joe / Joe Vargas / Jose Antonio Vargas / AngryJoeShow - Streamer, formerly made ANGRY REVIEWS, hates his fans

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

Apparently Joe actually wants to slide back down into obscurity (2.5M subs to 60k subs) because of *sigh*. The comment thatcannonguy reads out sounds like a copy and paste from a DSP rant. (I searched "angry joe exposed" on YT and I'm looking at some of them for the time being)

Spoiler: he's not /o u r g u y/ :lol:
 
Wronged Wetback makes barely passable reviews. I gotta admit that his Destiny video was pretty spot on, though, but I remember one of the reasons he was displeased with Saints Row 3 was because of the dildo bat weapon. Going into another genre of reviews can be a tricky business in the world of Youtube. AVGN covers all facets but he also built his entire 'empire' around Cinemassacre. JonTron found his niche and goes for a little column A, column B and the fans dig it up. Red Letter Media does incredibly horrible movies and happens to be one of my favorite channels.

A lot of people want that GameGrumps money now. Sit around, play video games and get paid without even reviewing them. It's no surprise that a guy like Angry Joe wants the same kind of money with a portion of the effort put in. Then again anyone associated with THWTG is pretty shit to begin with.

Angry Joe has been going downhill for a long time now, but I think with the recent Twitter storm that strongly implied that Joe doesn't want to make Angry Reviews anymore, a thread on him is justified.

Joe is beginning to lash out at fans who ask him why there are no Angry Reviews for games we know he has played. Among them this year are Horizon: Zero Dawn, NIOH, Persona 5, and others. Joe actually took initiative earlier this year to improve and actually promised to stick to a schedule earlier this year which produced some really good reviews on Yakuza 0 and Zelda, but now he's regressed again and decided to take a 'vacation' from making Angry Reviews. Because apparently playing video games is such hard work. Shouldn't his 'vacation' time be when there aren't any major releases to cover?

Joe seems to want to transition into making unedited vlog videos instead of actual edited content, similar to what Spoony did before he stopped making videos entirely. It really does seem to mean that the beginning of the end of the Angry Joe Show is upon us.

I like that TGWTG basically has its own tag at this point.

But man, this is a depressing entry in general. I remember a time when he genuinely was well-regarded, and though I was never really a fan, in more recent times he seems to be trying to angle himself to fill a void left by Darksydephil.
 
Remember when his fans bought him a Wii U and then he bitched about it and blamed it on Nintendo?

Remember when he got BTFO by Geoff Keighley for trying to confront him with a poorly executed accusation under the guise of an "interview" and was treated like the petulant rude (man)child he is?


What about the time he tried to monetize a video where he pretended to care that a "friend" of his killed himself? Or when he ignored the Charity walk for his dead friend?


What a stand up guy.
All fair game for the Pissy Puerto Rican.
 
It is truly sad that Angry Joe is starting to fall apart at the seams because he was genuinely entertaining and at times informative when he dealt with his stuff. Though looking back I have to wonder if some of his views were genuine because he did get a vacation package from the folks who did Witcher 3 and he gave it a 10/10, which to be fair was a great game, but still that sense of something not right is always there. It seemed after 2015 when his content really started to stop with barely making any game reviews and was disappointed he didn't review Total Warhammer since he loves both series of games.

It is stuff like this which makes me wonder if going TGWTG is the internet equivalent of desecrating an Indian burial mound?

This, prettymuch. I loved his Angry Reviews, just for the comedy. But he's getting lazy, fat and stupid. It's a pretty classic case of the on-screen personality taking over and becoming his actual personality.

The thing is with all these Youtubers that make it big is that they are actually more shackled and fucked than any C or D list celebrity is. Even if you have 2.5 million subs, the only thing most people care about is what got you on the map in the first place. You have to ask yourself the question of where do I see myself with this thing 25 years down the line because unlike some washed up celebrity, there isn't going to be some decent paying television show to bail you out.
 
Joe is a Superman fanboy and collector.
And yet I can't help but feel he gets so much about the character wrong and doesn't understand some of the different depictions of Luthor. Him getting angry over evil versions of Superman is one thing I can't help but facepalm at. A big part of modern (and by that I mean post-Crisis) Supes is that he's really just an ordinary guy deep down. He has his own wants, desires and the occasional dark impulses that he could act upon, but because of his upbringing he doesn't. He's not Superman because of his Krytonian physiology or because Jor-El conditions him into it for years, he's Superman because that's the way John and Martha Kent brought him up and the outfit is him TRYING to be the hero he can be.

Joe ultimately favors the SUPER part of the character over the MAN, blinded by the alien Adonis and not seeing good ol' Clark Kent trying to do his best.
 
Him ruining another persons chance to talk to Notch (spoony drama) was a low blow but what did you expect, TWTG do not vet their staff well at all.

I will never understand how TGWTG people ever got so popular.

They've always unilaterally made complete garbage.

The only time I was ever entertained by Pissed Off Pedro was that crying shitfit he threw about Geoff Keighley, when he wouldn't give him an interview in the middle of the fucking awards show that Geoff was hosting.

Well the answer is simply because no one else was offering the content they were. Now it has been only about 5-10 years for all CA contributors and they all seem like ancient relics from a bygone era.

The thing is that Angry Joe had enough subs to make Doug Walker look like a chump and he is squandering all his work that will make Spoony's fall of grace look tiny in comparison.
