The AngryJoeShow

The AngryJoeShow is a sketch comedy show that presents the latest gaming news, previews, and reviews of next generation console (Mostly Xbox 360) and PC games in an intense quick parody format set to heavy metal music. The show is hosted by AngryJoe, an over the top character who focuses on next gen gaming and speaks his mind. Joe often has appearances from his closest friends, like Tons0Fun or Gavin Stone, who preview and review games alongside him. The AngryJoe character differs from other reviewers in that he possesses superpowers in the world of the AngryJoeShow, including his self-titled “Cuss Cannon,” Force Lighting and super strength. Most notably he has done battle with Joker on multiple occasions, Joe mostly considers himself an PC centric Gamer, as most of his reviews come from the PC version of the game he is reviewing.


AngryJoePortrait

Angry Joes loves to make over the top facial expressions.

In his AngryJoe Adventures Series, Joe sets out after the Evil Corporate Overlords and their henchmen on behalf of all gamers sick of crappy games and terrible sequels. In the AJS world, Joe obtained his power from his jacket, but can now transform himself intro AngryJoe from his mild mannered public identity, “Joe,” who makes regular appearances on the weekly AngryJoeShow. His only weakness as “AngryJoe” that has been shown is becoming depowered and vulnerable after playing a crappy game for too long, one of the reasons he tends to stick to game previews, top reasons and announcements on new games. Despite the “Angry” Joe name, his character isn’t “overly” angry. Though not one to shy away from profanity, he often prefers to use geek culture cuss words such as “frak” and “frick.”

He had been critized for his Lack of diferent consoles as his only home console was the Xbox 360, however, he recently brought an PS4 and an Xbox One and reviewed his first Sony Exclusive, Killzone:Shadowfall.
