Jose Antonio Vargas (born June 18, 1984) is an American media commentator and YouTuber.[1] He is notable for his portrayal of Angry Joe, the titular host of his media review-oriented YouTube channel AngryJoeShow.[2]

YouTube

[edit | edit source]

Vargas launched his YouTube channel AngryJoeShow on October 4, 2008, with the video "Shit that Pisses Me Off - Madden 2009 Hardcore Gamers".[3] The show features Vargas' character "AngryJoe" reviewing a video game with a scale from 1–10. These reviews typically use sketch comedy and clips from his streams on Twitch. The channel was well received by the YouTube community;[4] as of April 2021, it has accrued over one billion views and amassed more than 3.2 million subscribers.[5] In addition to game reviews, Vargas produces movie reviews on his channel. He and his channel have received mention in media covering YouTube,[2][4] most notably for Vargas' opposition to copyright overreach on YouTube.[6][7][8][9] His interest in copyright on YouTube stemmed from an incident in which Nintendo of America filed a copyright claim on a video of Joe playing Mario Party 10.[10][6][11]

Vargas was affiliated with Blistered Thumbs of the media production company Channel Awesome until April 2018. His departure was due to the then-ongoing controversy regarding Channel Awesome and many of its former producers, many of whom Vargas had previously known and affiliated with in the past.[12]

In April 2018, a Kickstarter project to create a board game featuring miniature-sized figures of licensed characters from the Street Fighter series of video games (in collaboration with Jasco Games) was launched by Vargas.[1][13] The project's Kickstarter campaign raised $400,000 on its first day, an event which in turn attracted media coverage.[14][15] In January 2021, Street Fighter: The Miniatures Game began shipping to those that backed the Kickstarter project. Vargas worked in another collaboration with Jasco Games on Mortal Kombat: The Miniatures Game based on the license of the same name.[16]
