Definitely be sure to check out Marcel's amazing channel here and especially his original challenge. You won't regret it!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z8txq5aAzrOxfIE.html

"You wanna go see a single gazelle in a tiny cage?" "Nahh" "They've got a swing set there" "Holy shit let's go"

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

I miss Happiest Gazelle #7. It was exactly as happy as all the other gazelles, but somehow in an undefinably special way.

This run is basically a restaurant with a live animal as an attraction lol

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

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.

One look at a Thompson's gazelle is enough to cure my depression

"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.

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.

This time, amphibian was considerably less ambiguous about actually being a horror channel.

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.

can confirm Marcel is a gem, and makes great stuff.

How the hell are these videos getting more and more esoteric as time goes on, surely there must be an upper limit on this

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

I would definitely eat at the Prairie Dog Café. That mascot promises good times and tasty tacos

Every video from AA descends to borderline sadism and psychopathy, and its the beauty of his videos

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.

You made the notion of making people happier sound ominous

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!

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

That ending... Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

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.

I love Marcel too! So fun to see KZfaqrs 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

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'll never understand how you managed to make happy zoo guests sound so _ominous_ but I'm here for it

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.

That gazelle must have been ECSTATIC in order attract so many people.

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.

“The happiest gazelle in the world kept being replaced.”

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.

I love Marcel Vos! His videos are so calming, and the screen-packed theme parks he makes are amazing to see.

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

Ah yes, the best part about Zoo Tycoon. Releasing your animals onto your guests and watching them maul and kill everyone.

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.

I once went to a zoo that only had one animal-it was a dog too! It was a Shitzu.

I love your narration and comedic timing I ways I cannot articulate. It’s always a frabjus day when a new episode comes out!!

Happiest moment of my life was when I stood by a swing and observed a gazelle

I'm clapped every time you plugged Marcel. A gem of a person!

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

was not ready for that ending lol

This is a work of art. An absolute masterpiece. Comparable to works like The Mona Lisa and Salvatore Mundi.

That concluding monologue. Classic aa style. Love it.

"THE HAPPINESS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES" - ambiguousamphibian (probably)

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

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

I should have known that you were a cultured Marcel Vos enjoyer. 👌

I like to think that this was essentially one of those roadside gimick restaurants.

Yes! New episodes to satisfy my addiction to AA content.

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

Can I just say the music choices in this vid were fantastic. Real Homer frolicking in the land of chocolate vibes.

Marcel Vos is epic! I wish he would do a deep dive on Parkitect just as he did with Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Zoo Tycoon. I remember it took my family computer around 20mins to get past the loading screen. 20mins of theme music. Love it.

The gazelle has anomalous properties that makes people uncontrollably happy just by observing it

Because of you, I reinstalled Rollercoaster Tycoon after 20 years and created a beautiful bathroom monopoly. Next, I will experiment with avant garde zoos.

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

That gazelle looks pretty happy

Finding out that youtubers I enjoy also enjoy other youtubers that I enjoy fills me with a strange sense of enjoyment.

A shame you can't get a Shih Tzu would have been a dad tier joke

that save file "The Gazelle is DEAD" lmao good stuff

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.

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

Marcel is a beautiful man who has the mind of a scholar, however I could easily best him in a fight

Yea, Jim, they only have one. But have you SEEN how got'damm HAPPY that gazelle is, Jim? Trust me, it's worth it.

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

That gazelle is so happy it has an ear to ear grin!

My man AA knows Marcel Vos. AA is a man of culture indeed

Replace it with a llama and this is exactly what I imagine the tourist trap in SC4 to be.

"Local zoo houses the single happiest gazelle in the world. Guests ecstatic".

all the guests: "I'm gonna go see the Happiest Gazelle in the World!!"

Dude. I just can't understate how much I love your videos and your sense of humor. Awesome work man.

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 don't know why I was expecting the gazelle to go absolutely wild and devour all 1,000 guests... "gazelle #1,480 is overjoyed"

I really appreciate the way you title your videos; doesn't feel like I'm being yelled at

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.

Damn it's a really small world when you shouted out Marcel Vos, another creator I like to watch

Woah, AA is a Marcel Vos fan?!?! Awesome!

And you called the Gazelle doodoo in the last video :D

The sheer pandemonium of guests being devoured by the escaped zoo animals overlaid with Beethoven's dulcet Pastoral Symphony is perfection.

1:04 something about the 🚫 noise makes me laugh way harder than I should😅😅😅😅

"Hey, do you want to go and see the gazelle?" "Nah, I'm kinda over it." "They just put in a swing set" "Real shit?"

Marcel is the god of Rollercoaster Tycoon

3:33 As a Mexican, I'd have to say that this restaurant sounds awesome!

2:23 my foot was resting on my sub woofer as that background bass rose, scared me haha.

All those twists at the end. This really turned into RollerCoaster Tycoon!

I've been with Marcel Vos a very long time too!

the marcel vos shoutout was so incredibly unexpected

nice marcel vos shoutout, his videos are always gold as is the zoo tycoon series in general much love

Seeing 4000 people scrabble like fresh eggs on a pan as the spatula of wild animals scattered them In droves, decorating the zoo grounds with there eggy blood. I could not stop laughing.

Thompson's Gazelle 9 looks overjoyed!
