AngryChamp is a derivative Twitch emote that portrays an exaggerated expression of anger, frustration, or outrage. The emote features the same facial structure as the iconic PogChamp emote, but with a distinctly angry or furious expression instead of surprise. It's often used in a comedic or sarcastic manner to express intense displeasure or frustration with events happening on stream.
AngryChamp originated as a user-created modification of the famous PogChamp emote, which originally featured Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez's surprised expression. Unlike PogChamp, AngryChamp was never an official Twitch global emote. Instead, it gained popularity through third-party Twitch chat extensions like 7TV, BetterTTV (BTTV), and FrankerFaceZ (FFZ).
While the exact date of AngryChamp's first appearance isn't well-documented, it emerged as part of the trend of creating derivative versions of PogChamp with different emotional expressions. The emote became particularly popular after these third-party extensions allowed users to upload and share custom emotes across channels.
AngryChamp is typically used in Twitch chat in the following situations:
The emote is only visible to viewers who have the corresponding extension installed (7TV, BTTV, or FFZ) and is watching a channel where the streamer or moderators have enabled the emote.
