==Personal life==
Mande has claimed that he had a list of corporations and celebrities who he tries to antagonize on [[Twitter]]: "That’s my favorite thing. It’s so much fun to do, but I don’t wake up in the morning and rub my hands together thinking about who I’m going to mess with today," he says. He continued saying "Also it’s so funny that when people write mean things to me, I take it so personally. I have no right. I’m such a hypocrite."<ref>{{cite web|title=Talking to Joe Mande About Standup, Writing, and Tormenting Celebrities on Twitter|url=http://splitsider.com/2011/10/talking-to-joe-mande-about-standup-writing-and-tormenting-celebrities-on-twitter/|date=13 October 2011}}</ref>

However, he later claimed that he uses Twitter to call out hypocrites saying "some people need to be called out for being hypocrites or for being stupid." When asked about sharing a picture of someone he blocked on Twitter, he replied saying "Nothing is more pathetic than bragging about who has blocked you. I block people all the time but I don’t want people to get that joy [of being blocked]. I just want to get that same amount of joy. So I want to just showcase that... so they get punished."<ref>{{cite web|title=The Hustle: Joe Mande|url=https://www.mcleanisms.com/single-post/2016/07/29/The-Hustle-Joe-Mande|date=29 July 2016}}</ref>

He has made a correlation between online trolling and mental illness in saying "It's definitely a sign of mental illness. I do need to get it in check. It's not helpful for anyone, really. It -- briefly, I get a laugh out of it -- but all troll behavior, people should figure themselves out. Me included, obviously."<ref>{{cite web|title=Joe Mande on St. Paul, trolling, Philando Castile, and war with LaCroix|url=http://www.citypages.com/arts/joe-mande-on-st-paul-trolling-philando-castile-and-war-with-lacroix/399670461|date=2 November 2016}}</ref>

In 2011, he monitored the Twitter account of former NBA player [[Gilbert Arenas]] over the course of many months, then saved and posted the pictures which he deemed offensive, starting a very publicised Twitter fight after Arenas responded questioning Mande's credentials as a comedian. Furthermore, he wrote a full page critique of what he thought of Gilbert Arenas.<ref>{{cite web|title=Joe Mande Vs.

In April 2012, Mande was sent a cease and desist letter from [[La Croix Sparkling Water]].<ref>{{cite web|title=How Do You Solve A Problem Like Joe Mande?

On July 14, 2014, Mande announced that he started a Kickstarter for "The Million Dollar Podcast", saying that if he raised one million dollars he would interview "comedians and musicians and shit like that." <ref>{{cite web|last1=Bradford|first1=Evans|title=Joe Mande Will Start a Podcast If People Give Him a Million Dollars Via Kickstarter|url=http://splitsider.com/2014/07/joe-mande-will-start-a-podcast-if-people-give-him-a-million-dollars-via-kickstarter/|website=splitsider.com|publisher=The Awl|accessdate=16 July 2014}}</ref> He was briefly held up by Kickstarter, who initially rejected the project, saying that it didn't "create something to share with others."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Mande|first1=Joe|title=Appeal|url=http://joemande.com/image/91918114385|website=joemande.com|publisher=tumblr.com|accessdate=16 July 2014}}</ref> Mande appealed and the Kickstarter was finally allowed to begin.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Mande|first1=Joe|title=WE DID IT, Y'ALL!|url=http://joemande.com/post/91961224360/we-did-it-yall-after-reading-my-heartfelt|website=joemande.com|publisher=tumblr.com|accessdate=16 July 2014}}</ref>

On January 20, 2017, following President Donald Trump's inauguration, 33-year-old Mande tweeted about Trump's youngest son, 10-year-old [[Barron Trump]], saying he "will be mutilating cats on the white house lawn in like two weeks." Comedian Stephen Spinola and [[SNL]] writer [[Katie Rich]] made similar tweets, both later apologized after NBC suspended Rich from the show.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cruel and twisted attacks on Barron Trump expose the dangers of online bullying|url=https://tenplay.com.au/news/national/january/cruel-and-twisted-attacks-on-barron-trump-expose-the-dangers-of-online-bullying|date=24 January 2017}}</ref>
