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 💕
"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.
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.
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
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
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. 🤣
One look at a Thompson's gazelle is enough to cure my depression
They're even better in real life! They boing boing along
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.
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.
"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.
Honestly a rarity
@@RussianBot69420 where do you live and what kind of strange zoos do you have there 😰
@@queenofcookie3299 Ohio 👁
@@RussianBot69420 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
@@RussianBot69420 my condolences xD
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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? 🙂
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.
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.
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.
That ending... Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
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.
I love Marcel too! So fun to see CZcamsrs I like also like each other lol.
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.
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!
This gazelle was so happy that even though I was having a rough day, it cheered me up through the video :)
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.
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.
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...
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
I love Marcel Vos! His videos are so calming, and the screen-packed theme parks he makes are amazing to see.
I'll never understand how you managed to make happy zoo guests sound so _ominous_ but I'm here for it
That gazelle must have been ECSTATIC in order attract so many people.
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?
I'm clapped every time you plugged Marcel. A gem of a person!
8:45 i love how much freedom these older games give the player
This is quite possibly one of the best yet enigmatic video concepts I've seen in awhile.
Wake up, see Amphibian give a shoutout to Marcel Vos. Day made.
Happiest moment of my life was when I stood by a swing and observed a gazelle
Marcel is a beautiful man who has the mind of a scholar, however I could easily best him in a fight
Well I sure hope you can swim. Who's to say Marcel couldn't summon a crane claw to pick you up and drop you in a body of water...
This is a work of art. An absolute masterpiece. Comparable to works like The Mona Lisa and Salvatore Mundi.
I love your narration and comedic timing I ways I cannot articulate. It’s always a frabjus day when a new episode comes out!!
Oh my gosh I got so happy when Marcel was mentioned! I love his content!
0:00
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
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
That concluding monologue. Classic aa style. Love it.
Ambiguous, I love you! Thanks for adding some joy to our lives with your videos
I should have known that you were a cultured Marcel Vos enjoyer. 👌
“The happiest gazelle in the world kept being replaced.”
Yes! New episodes to satisfy my addiction to AA content.
Marcel Vos is epic! I wish he would do a deep dive on Parkitect just as he did with Roller Coaster Tycoon.
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
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 feels like a perfect analogy regarding my life.

The strangest hellscape I've ever seen. I'm sure it would leave even Dante confused and trembling
Because of you, I reinstalled Rollercoaster Tycoon after 20 years and created a beautiful bathroom monopoly. Next, I will experiment with avant garde zoos.
Can I just say the music choices in this vid were fantastic. Real Homer frolicking in the land of chocolate vibes.
"THE HAPPINESS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES" - ambiguousamphibian (probably)
I once went to a zoo that only had one animal-it was a dog too!
It was a Shitzu.
Dude. I just can't understate how much I love your videos and your sense of humor. Awesome work man.
You have an amazing talent for making me want to dig up old games I've played and try them out again.
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.
Marcel Vos shout-outs always make me happy. Wonderful channel
nice marcel vos shoutout, his videos are always gold as is the zoo tycoon series in general much love
Subscribed! This was amazing. I love the chaotic energies of the original Zoo Tycoon.
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
I love Marcel. Have been a fan of his for years! Since his rollercoaster calculator!
Ah yes, the best part about Zoo Tycoon. Releasing your animals onto your guests and watching them maul and kill everyone.
Yesss thank u AA for giving Marcel some love! He is top tier!
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 😆
I really appreciate the way you title your videos; doesn't feel like I'm being yelled at
was not ready for that ending lol
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.
Beautiful. I too was overjoyed by this video and Thomson’s gazelle. Great upload as always AA
I love the reference to Marcel Vos, I have been watching his content for years!
:) glad to see i was not the only1 that played like that with zoo tycoon.
I just started playing Zoo Tycoon 2 again yesterday, so this is an interesting coincidence. Best games ever.
I used to play this game 24/7, brings back great memories!
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.
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
Finding out that youtubers I enjoy also enjoy other youtubers that I enjoy fills me with a strange sense of enjoyment.
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 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!!
I've been with Marcel Vos a very long time too!
So glad that Marcel Vos is getting recognized by AA. Definitely worth the visit
The gazelle has anomalous properties that makes people uncontrollably happy just by observing it
Glad I recently got a nice pair of headphones, all the better to appreciate the subtly unnerving soundscape present at parts of this video
The sheer pandemonium of guests being devoured by the escaped zoo animals overlaid with Beethoven's dulcet Pastoral Symphony is perfection.
Marcels vos is a freaking legend I have not play RCT I year but I would watch all is roller coaster tycoon video
All those twists at the end. This really turned into RollerCoaster Tycoon!
I’m a simple man, I see an Ambiguous Amphibian video, I click
Old format I know but goddamn does it apply well with your channel. Good stuff AA!
I like to think that this was essentially one of those roadside gimick restaurants.
My man AA knows Marcel Vos. AA is a man of culture indeed
The ending of this video is exactly the ending of all my games :D
Awesome video btw🎉!
Damn it's a really small world when you shouted out Marcel Vos, another creator I like to watch
