OK
how did you know I eat sit drink and decafate??????
Gooood fucking video man, love the meta commentary. I hope you can continue to make videos in the future
Love his rollercoaster tycoon vids! Unintentional asmr from his accent 💕
Imagine walking into a zoo and seeing a gazelle in a 5x10 foot cage, but it’s the happiest gazelle you’ve ever seen. Sounds like a weird but great experience
LOL
Not exactly the same but I had a vaguely similar experience to this in Japan. It was when the baby panda had been moved to its enclosure with its mother in Ueno zoo, being an obvious foreigner I was shoved to the front of the viewing area and when the panda came out of a hidey hole literally every Japanese woman in the crowd lost their minds over it. It was wild.
Until you return next year and notice that one small detail is wrong about the gazelle. A white blaze it didn't have before. Darker hooves, maybe. Every time you stopped by you notice something isn't the same as it used to be. And then you come to the shocking realization that... The gazelle was different every time. All previous gazelles died because even if an animal is happy for a short while it can never truly thrive in a tiny cage like that. And suddenly you discover that you are locked in. And now the gazelle is observing you instead of the other way around.
@@EvanBear why do I hear boss music?
It sounds like a roadside attraction you see out in the countryside.
"THE WORLD'S HAPPIEST REINDEER" a sign reads, followed by the text, in smaller print, clearly added later "+Mike's Grill & Tortillas"
If I then go there and in fact that it is the happiest reindeer that I have ever seen, I'd probably tell people about it.
"You wanna go see a single gazelle in a tiny cage?"
"Nahh"
"They've got a swing set there"
"Holy shit let's go"
"Can we use it?"
"Nah there's a moat."
"Say less"
@@neptunepriest "Do they have food?"
"It's hot and ready"
"Is it any good?"
"It's hot and ready"
Ngl as a kid my favourite part of the zoo was one of those push merry go rounds in the playground. They arent replaced or fixed anymore because they are to "dangerous" so of course it was the most fun thing there.
I do not remember what animals our zoo actually has contained or currently contains. Except they had owls at one point
for some reason this made me laugh for like 3 minutes straight thanks for making my day better ;D
One. Single. Swing Set.
I miss Happiest Gazelle #7. It was exactly as happy as all the other gazelles, but somehow in an undefinably special way.
Easily one of the happiest
One of the gazelles of all time...
Certainly one of the Gazelles of all time
I'm more of a fan of Happiest Gazelle #4.
@@highgrounder5238 He was a gazelle
This run is basically a restaurant with a live animal as an attraction lol
and a swing set. for display.
So.. Red Lobster..?
This is basically the Chinese Restaurant around the corner of my house, rats are animals too...
@@VanWolf *also a menu item
@@mrblack5145 true dat
Honestly, the idea of a single gazelle being visibly ecstatic to the point where it inspires true happiness on seeing it is one of the cutest images possible
But then that one day the gazelle died and the guests all fled in horror because 100% of all the animals in the zoo were now dead. 🤣
Almost sounds like an SCP
@@Raptorworld22
SCP 7842
"The Really Happy Gazelle"
The fact that the animals actually have pretty detailed animations of hitting and mauling guests means the developers KNOW someone's gonna try what amphibian did here.
There was a section of the tutorial that told you to delete a fence, and then shamed you for releasing the animals lol the developers planned for this
This is why Zoo tycoon was the GOAT. They understood their audience perfectly
One look at a Thompson's gazelle is enough to cure my depression
They're even better in real life! They boing boing along
I think this zoo works because the guests are happy to see the happy gazelle exhibit, and the gazelle enjoys the irony of the human exhibit being overcrowded, with poor facilities, cheap food, and a lack of entertainment. It is a vicious circle of happiness.
The humans are the exhibit for the gazelle’s joy
The swing set exploit is so funny because the adult guests can’t even use it. But just knowing it’s there makes them feel better.
Let's be honest; anything to distact the child of an exhausted parent would inspire great happiness in them
This time, amphibian was considerably less ambiguous about actually being a horror channel.
nah, I wasn't even scared.
@@lightlayagajoie5739 Yeah? Well watch the video with the lights off. Sheer terror I'll tell you what
@@Battlefield1365 lmao
Test-subjects placed in the vicinity of the SCP all described getting a sudden feeling of being overjoyed, with some claiming to hear it laughing continuously.
@@aHedgerowFrog The SCP is often described as a severely deformed hand puppet toy in the form of an amphibian with a permanently constipated expression and a soothing adult male human voice.
can confirm Marcel is a gem, and makes great stuff.
Definitely check him out to anyone reading this - an underrated gem of a channel!
@@ambiguousamphibian marcel helped me a lot when i was trying to get into RCT 1 and 2 and ORCT. Guy is an infinite library of game knowledge
I absolutely despise him, so no.
@@KCzz15 How come?
@@BattleBro77
Not something I can logically point to and say "This is it!", it's more of a splinter in the mind that when I see his stuff alarm bells start to ring that he's not a good person or anyone I want to have any association with whatsoever.
How the hell are these videos getting more and more esoteric as time goes on, surely there must be an upper limit on this
He removed the upper limit because he's on microsoft
If Max0r's videos tell us anything, it's that, if there is a cap, we ain't there, yet.
Wait until he does a Zoo Tycoon/Project Zomboid crossover, where Worm Man starts a zoo of zombie animals.
@ShawnTheMidget Hahahaha that's hilarious
"Hundreds of people to get a glance at the stupidly happy gazelle"
People heard there's a zoo where the animals don't look depressed and they all rushed to see that.
@Russian Bot where do you live and what kind of strange zoos do you have there 😰
@Russian Bot our zoos exist mostly for animal conservation and education so the animals have great enclosures and stuff like that so its really rare to see a zoo where the animals seem unhappy the only times ive seen animals "unhappy" it was right after lunch so they where probably just sleepy and it was only the reptiles
@Russian Bot my condolences xD
@@queenofcookie3299 Anywhere where private zoos exist, especially where they aren't strictly regulated. Remember, the "Tiger King" had his own zoo.
@RussianBot69420 Ohio, the human zoo. Occasionally some of the animals there try to escape by going to the moon, otherwise they make awesome emo bands so they can be let out once in a while to visit other zoos.
This game can be surprisingly chaotic , have always loved when people use it for the dumbest of challenges
@surprise54 Bot
I need to reinstall this game but its so hard to find a copy now
So it's basically a food court which had a very satisfied gazelle pet-mascot
And a swing set ofc ✨
i'm honestly jealous of the gazelles. imagine being so incredibly content with such a little amount of stuff. we should all aspire to be like them
You know what, I would go somewhere for an afternoon if I could see the world’s happiest gazelle and eat some Mexican food.
I feel like this video is the appropriate place to explain a fun exploit I once found in this game that I've not seen mentioned before anywhere that lets guests enter your zoo but not leave.
Each tile in the game can fit 4 small rocks, one for each quarter, if you place 2 small rocks on the left side of a tile and 1 small rock on the upper left corner of a tile (upper-left from the POV of the guest entering the zoo) then guest will be able to pass through on the way in but not leave. Make sure you do it between the 2 ticket booths or between 2 fences or else guests will simply walk around.
This will cause guests to wander around off the path looking for an exit for a bit but they will go back and walk around the zoo again soon after.
This exploit isn't good for guest happiness nor is it ethical, but it is very good to get 1000 guests into your zoo as quickly as possible to release dinosaurs and watch the carnage, the correct way to play Zoo Tycoon.
By darn, I think Ambiguous just created a new SCP! The happy gazelle will force everyone around it to feel the same feelings as its own. So if it is very happy, anyone in sight of range will be happy as well.
marcel is absolutely amazing, the way he approaches totally ridiculous topics with the utmost seriousness in his voice and actually displays all the statistics too
is it amazing or... cringe?
Amazong, definitely amazing. There's something about his videos that makes my brain so happy that I feel like we must both be on some autistic clown-to-clown communication even though autistic men and autistic women usually have very different interests lol.
Every video from AA descends to borderline sadism and psychopathy, and its the beauty of his videos
no,no it's existential
Are you familiar with Let's Game It Out? 🙂
You made the notion of making people happier sound ominous
it is. Picture a distopia like Brave new world but everyone is happy because they are on drugs all the time.
@@lightlayagajoie5739 you're right. Totally. Give me my happy tablets.
I would definitely eat at the Prairie Dog Café. That mascot promises good times and tasty tacos
it looks like a great place to recharge my seat meter too
I hear they serve overjoyed gazelles
I just realized I've been a fan of MarcelVos' channel for years. He did the 12 year long rollercoaster in RCT! thank you for reintroducing me to him!
Nothing brightens my day more than when AA uploads! I always say to my fellow humans on the street that AA is the best part of my day
yea even when I am at the zoo I always tell the other guests that what be even more entertaining is watching a brand new AA video.
Imaging an actual zoo with only one single gazelle and thousands of guests are pouring in, packed tightly with barely any space to walk AND THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY MONEY FOR IT!
Maybe a cult of sorts will find its origin and wheekly visitations for its holy view are a need
Yeah but they have a swingset
Bro it's the happiest fucking gazelle you've ever seen
I dunno man, something about seeing that gazelle's happy face just really brightens my day, and I'm willing to elbow my way through 4000 people to see it again.
I'll never understand how you managed to make happy zoo guests sound so _ominous_ but I'm here for it
I love Marcel too! So fun to see RUclipsrs I like also like each other lol.
Learned a whole lot of RCT things from Marcel's channel. It's a gold mine of info for the RCT franchise along side his random park challenge shenanigans. Can't recommend enough.
Love the video as always! Wanted to say your vids got me into Project Zomboid a few months ago and I've been having an amazing time concocting silly little challenges for myself. I feel like I'm embracing the fun of games again in a way I haven't since I was a kid playing Sims 1. Thanks for finding joy in the stuff you play and for sharing it with us, it's been great to experience this again.
What kind of challenges do you do?
That ending... Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
I love Marcel Vos! His videos are so calming, and the screen-packed theme parks he makes are amazing to see.
Talk about hitting that 10:00 mark
Wow, this is probably the most benevolent amphibian video I've seen yet! Definitely enjoy Marcel's channel as well, his dedication to RCT is impressive.
Edit: I was wrong.
lmao...
This gazelle was so happy that even though I was having a rough day, it cheered me up through the video :)
I've watched marcel for just about 2 years now even though I've never played Rollercoaster Tycoon or zoo Tycoon... So if that doesn't convince you that his content is top tier I don't know what will.
I assume it was because of spliced clips for easier storytelling, but in my mind, after Thompson's Gazelle #10, we went so far into the future that we looped around to get to Thompson's Gazelle #2. I'm just glad all of them were as happy as they possibly could be
8:45 i love how much freedom these older games give the player
Honestly, thank you so much for this video. Because I love zoo tycoon and after your first video my love was reawakened and I found it online and played it for weeks trying to beat all the scenarios. And I had the hardest time until I saw this and realized that every single challenge where they require you to have a certain number of exhibits and a high guest rating can be beaten with twelve or so two tile gazelle exhibits and a prairie dog cafe.
This is quite possibly one of the best yet enigmatic video concepts I've seen in awhile.

If anyone’s wondering, the music at the start is called “Roundup on the Prairies” it’s a music library song and it has no copyright
I love your narration and comedic timing I ways I cannot articulate. It’s always a frabjus day when a new episode comes out!!
Love the Marcel shout out. My type of youtuber who is also obsessed with RollerCoaster tycoon.
I'm clapped every time you plugged Marcel. A gem of a person!
Cheering and screaming over the icon of Marcel Vos being mentioned... I am entirely unsurprised that he has given you inspiration.
People that perform difficult and ethically questionable challenges in video games are probably my favorite people. 10/10 Best zoo no contest
This is a work of art. An absolute masterpiece. Comparable to works like The Mona Lisa and Salvatore Mundi.
"THE HAPPINESS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES" - ambiguousamphibian (probably)
Oh my gosh I got so happy when Marcel was mentioned! I love his content!
Ambiguous, I love you! Thanks for adding some joy to our lives with your videos
3:33 As a Mexican, I'd have to say that this restaurant sounds awesome!
Wake up, see Amphibian give a shoutout to Marcel Vos. Day made.
I really appreciate the way you title your videos; doesn't feel like I'm being yelled at
I once went to a zoo that only had one animal-it was a dog too!
It was a Shitzu.
Article 3 Subsection 6 of Zoo Tycoon Code states that each video about Zoo Tycoon must end with letting loose all the predators on the visitors. Thank you for adhering to these guidelines
That concluding monologue. Classic aa style. Love it.
Dude. I just can't understate how much I love your videos and your sense of humor. Awesome work man.
Happiest moment of my life was when I stood by a swing and observed a gazelle
nice marcel vos shoutout, his videos are always gold as is the zoo tycoon series in general much love
I call this the Moo Deng special.
Mr. Ambiguous, I discovered your channel when you posted that first the sims 1 video, and believe me, it was the happiest moment of my year, I enjoyed so much that words can’t descrive the feeling, I watched all your next the sims videos and the other content because your sarcastic humor and edits are perfect, even for a short amount of time (10min per video) you cured my depression and gave me power to stand and continue, thanks and congratulations for the good work, I really hope to see more the sims1 videos, have a nice day sir
Yes! New episodes to satisfy my addiction to AA content.
Ah yes, the best part about Zoo Tycoon. Releasing your animals onto your guests and watching them maul and kill everyone.
Marcel Vos is epic! I wish he would do a deep dive on Parkitect just as he did with Roller Coaster Tycoon.
Subscribed! This was amazing. I love the chaotic energies of the original Zoo Tycoon.
This feels like a perfect analogy regarding my life.
I like Thomson's Gazelles, especially in Zoo Tycoon's sexier cousin, Planet Zoo.
So I was pretty happy you managed to make this bizarre zoo idea work with them. Well played, AA.

Love the buildup in this one and then the falling resolution of letting your darkest fantasies come true by trapping thousands of unsuspecting zoo patrons and then unleashing ferocious beasts amongst them for ultimate chaos.
2:07 Man, Woman, Boy, and Girl are also the only 4 genders.
no you forgot the 5th one

Can I just say the music choices in this vid were fantastic. Real Homer frolicking in the land of chocolate vibes.
Dude.. when did you get to a million subs? It feels like last I checked you were still a wee baby at 40k, they grow up so fast.
9:32 This was probably the scariest, funniest, wittiest, most thought-provoking comedy/horror closing I have ever heard. A nice bow on the serene hell released upon the stupidest zoo guests in the history of all zoos.
Glad to see someone who wrote exactly what i've thought. Chills down the spine and a wicked smile at the same time
I've been with Marcel Vos a very long time too!
That gazelle must have been ECSTATIC in order attract so many people.
Yesss thank u AA for giving Marcel some love! He is top tier!
Happiness of people in this game is overcomplicated, moment you mentioned Marcel Vos my happiness peaked! I'm happy and I'm not leaving this park/zoo.
Finding out that youtubers I enjoy also enjoy other youtubers that I enjoy fills me with a strange sense of enjoyment.
Marcel Vos shout-outs always make me happy. Wonderful channel
You absolutely had to fence them in, release the animals & let chaos reign! You're awesome, sir!
I did a similar thing In the rollercoaster tycoon corkscrews add on. you got access to a one way do not enter sign you could slap across your entrance so new ppl could come in but nobody could leave 😆
"an obnoxious and distasteful mexican cantina loudly advertised by a sombrero-clad rodent" goddamn you're good amphibian
Me: *sees video title* "That sounds like the kind of challenge Marcel Vos would do"
ambiguousamphibian: "I got this idea from Marcel Vos and he's one of my favorite youtubers"
Me: :o
You have an amazing talent for making me want to dig up old games I've played and try them out again.
Listen, this is my favorite video on this channel. This wrangled so many chuckles out of me.
I watch every Sims videos you do, and i randomly clicked this zoo tycon challenge, and i cant believe how much fun i had watching this one 😂 youre great gamer and youtuber!!
lmaoooo the ending of this video was so unbelievably unexpected for me, i shriek laughed. great vid as always
Zoo Tycoon. I remember it took my family computer around 20mins to get past the loading screen. 20mins of theme music. Love it.
Great video as always! I remember a time long long ago when I played Zoo tycoon and I always lowered the guests into the alligator enclosure and then cut them off from the entrance.
The mental image of a business plaza with 5 of the same restaurants and a single fenced gazelle in the middle is the funniest shit ever
Beautiful. I too was overjoyed by this video and Thomson’s gazelle. Great upload as always AA
Marcel is the god of Rollercoaster Tycoon
95% of the taco meat sold at the Prairie dog cafe might make you overjoyed for some strange reason.
Damn it's a really small world when you shouted out Marcel Vos, another creator I like to watch
I should have known that you were a cultured Marcel Vos enjoyer. 👌
I remember playing this one as a kid all the time. That final segment is exactly what all of my zoos declined into eventually. Thats just the way of the zoo tycoon.
As a fellow Dutch guy, you mentioning Marcel Vos gave me literally chills. He really deserves the recognition and much much more.
This was just hilarious!! Thank you so much for this
Marcel Vos is low-key, a legendary youtuber. "Today we not only beat black forest we are going to turn into a murder desert with a Rollercoaster that had a sick jump."
that save file "The Gazelle is DEAD" lmao good stuff
