Line 5:
A gamer with an off-the-wall reviewing style and a ''mite'' too much energy, "Angry" Joe Vargas got his start by submitting a video review for ''[[Army of Two]]'' giving constructive criticism that was surprisingly what the developers really wanted to hear. Angry Joe now does reviews and other videos on his own [http://www.AngryJoeShow.com website] and is a major contributor for [[That Guy With The Glasses]].
Back in November 2010, he and the other video games segments of TGWTG were spun off onto their own separate website, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131015230642/http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/ Blistered Thumbs], with Joe as the site's executive leader. Now, however, he has left Blistered Thumbs to create his own site located [http://angryjoeshow.com/ here.] In addition, he is a member of [[The Game Station]].

Line 46:
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: In one of the 1-year anniversary crossover videos, he goes around delivering horrendous pick-up lines to all the women on the site.
* [[Caustic Critic]]: Despite the name, he's usually pretty nice. Nowhere did this become more apparent than when he teamed up with Spoony at E3 2010, where the two practically became a [[Good Cop, Bad Cop]] comedy duo. When Joe ''does'' lose his temper, it's usually over something most people would be frustrated about, and he manages to get control of himself quite quickly. He even always takes the time to point out things he likes in games he ''doesn't'' like, and makes the reviews funny whether or not he makes fun of the game.
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130930045658/http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2011/11/swtor-darth-joe-vs-spoonywan/#-1 '''UNLIMITED POWAAAAAH!!!''']
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Weaponized as the cuss cannon.
* [[Cosplay]]: Joe sure likes to dress up whenever a game might call for it (even as a [[Nightmare Fuel|geisha]]...).
Line 62:
* [[Evil Counterpart]]/[[Demonic Possession]]: [[Dragon Age|Darkspawn]] Joe
* [[Follow the Leader]]: His style obviously shows some inspiration from [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]]. This was parodied in one of the Brawl crossover videos in which Joe gushes about meeting his chief inspiration and idol...only for it to turn out to be [[Benzaie]]'s sidekick Beary.
** Ironically, you rarely see Angry Joe actually being angry. Even when he [https://web.archive.org/web/20131216045201/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/bt/aj/ajsreview/21481-iron-man-2-the-video-game did], it's not nearly as angry as AVGN; a more appropriate nickname for him might be "Crazy Joe," because most often he's grinning like a maniac. Sometimes even when he ''is'' showing displeasure.
*** His first review of ''[[The Last Airbender]]'' had genuine anger, but he forgot to turn on the mic.
*** He certainly didn't make that mistake in his review of [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic Free Riders]]...let's just say that, apparently, the entire game is his [[Berserk Button]].
