the biggest mistake of my animal crossing career? 

Sherb saying ‘it’s so dark out’ in sunglasses is the funniest and most in character thing I have ever seen

Chief is KILLING me cause he’s all over the place 😭! The southern accent, the white suburban country club sweater he has tied around his neck, and the graffiti home… like… hello?? 💀

*Warning about Fang* - we were dating on my island, and Daisy asked me to return Fangs shirt from her house.... Excuse me?!??! Moral of the story: keep Chief :)

The true chaos comes from having multiple Cranky villagers. I had Del and Boris (Boris is amazing btw), and they started talking so I walked up to see what they were both upset about, and they started having a CRANKY COMPETITION. Like they kept saying “you’re the more cantankerous one” “you’re such a pain in the ass” like just going in on each other. Then they turned to ME and asked me who I thought was the least problematic. I said I liked them both and they both BROKE DOWN CRYING. Because they felt loved. And then they walked away calm and cool as cucumbers. And I was left with this interaction ingrained in my being. So honestly, bring in Chief and Apollo.

He’s the rich kid that secretly spray paints at night so his parents don’t know ART IS HIS PASSION

I love the idea of southern accent chief 😂 I can't stop imagining him in a cowboy hat having a town square stand off with Kyle like "This island ain't big enough for the two of us!"

Amanda, be GLAD you didn't have the choice to get Wolfgang. He's a life-ruiner. We were together and then he cheated on me with my Ankha, so I finally started dating Beau after being buddies for so long. Now seeing I'm no longer single, he's been giving me gifts and asking me to go to K.K.'s concert with him while still throwing glances at Ankha. So glad you avoided a train wreck like him. OfcourseIstilllovethedramasoIkeephimthough

I haven't laughed this hard in a while. This is honestly what this series needed. Something completely fresh. A personality that creates itself and stands out. That accent is a MUST, it's a part of Chief now.

I had Reneigh as a starter and didn't think I would like her. I ended up loving her. She runs around all the time so happy

I can’t see Chief’s dialogue without thinking of that vine “Country BoOoOoŸ I loOoOoOve yew, 🤪”

I have Kabuki and he never talks like this, so it goes to show that there is way more variety in animal crossing than people realize, except for maybe Peppy villagers.

"He's dressed like a 12 year old at Lego Camp" just sent me.

I know we all thank you endlessly for gettin us through tough times in our lives with your videos, but I’d like to reiterate that again. My 10 year old pit, Mr. Bill Murray, had to go in for emergency surgery Wednesday morning. They couldn’t fix him, we didn’t get to say goodbye. He’s been our shadow, gone everywhere with us, from the moment I found him in a gutter on a 105° day when he was 5 weeks old, EVERYWHERE. I’ve never felt an emptiness this endless and can’t function, can’t eat, can’t sleep, and then my Mom got rushed to the ER Friday night and we can’t see her. The only reprieve I’ve had to get out of my head is my fiancé streaming yours and Trixie and Katya’s videos nonstop on the TV. It’s funny how certain insights you have about animals pop up out of nowhere at just the right moment. I feel like I’m trauma dumping, but just want you know how appreciated your work is. Like more than you’ll ever know. So thank you. So, so much. 💔🖤❤️‍🩹

7 minutes in and Amanda if Chief ends up on your island I’m gonna comment the lyrics to “Jolene” on every video you post until he moves away You’ve been warned

Chief may be southern but he is the type of guy who listens to Orville Peck and has 'Y'all Means All" signs in his front yard.

Okay but I cannot wait to see how you react to seeing the interior of Chief's home

YES THE QUEEN IS BACK

Bestie! I am dying laughing right now! I needed you in my life and befriending you was the best decision of my life! Slay it Queen! Roast Deirdre to the hills for wanting to leave with your busy self haha

you make my days way better, Amanda

Have your videos on repeat lately, Amanda. Something about your voice is so soothing. And it definitely helps that you're hilariously funny and clever as fuck.

I mean you COULD interpret Chief’s voice as a thick Irish accent, since people who have that accent tend to drop the g’s off of ing words (Idk if this makes it any better lmao).

Just woke up from a nightmare about being a kid and living with my parents again. I'm so glad that Amanda's still here to ground me.lol

Okay but this whole time we've been thinking Goose would fall for Ken, but imagine you wake up one day and go into town to see Chief pushing Goose against the Resident Services building and roughly making out with him? Girl it's giving Boston Harbor amounts of tea

Chief has the most mixed energy ever.

(in country twang accent) chief is just a sweet little farmer boy who grew up an' made a rich man of himself ain't he. he up an' left that ole farm he grew up on, moved to the biggole city an' gussied himself up a grand ole' c.e.o ! an' as they say, you can take the boy outta the farm life, but you cant take the farm life outta the boy. underneath all that prettyboy, hes just a sweet lil' peach farmer at heart. 'course, now he's up an' left that prim'n'proper life for a quaint lil' island, maybe now that he's not surroundin' himself with all them cityfolk he's findin' his accent ain't never left him in the first place.

amanda, I just want to thank you. I've been watching your videos for nearly a year now and you genuinely changed my life. your singing in your videos literally led me to rediscover my love for singing and I performed for the first time the other day. it was one of the best days of my life, and I owe it to you. much love

I think you keep leaning into that accent because his preppy country club starting outfit makes you think of a rich southern guy.

Chief!! He was my favorite villager in Wild World cause my childhood dog was also named Chief. It broke my heart when he moved away. My long lost bestie... I haven't had him as a villager ever since, though I'm still searching. I know I could get an amiibo for him these days, but it feels wrong somehow. Low key love the idea of him being a chill country/southern musician type like Dolly Parton, haha. Maybe that's why he moved away never to return. He had big dreams to fulfil.

Might be late to the party, but honestly, whenever you post, it always makes my day! Seriously you're an amazing youtuber, Amanda!💕

I LOVE cranky villagers, cranky villagers are some of my favorites, Dobie is my little island grandpa that looks after everyone and Whitney's his grandaughter that looks after him, maybe I'm just weird

27:28 tecnically there are sub categories for every personality, I think that depends on the hobbie of the villagers.

chief gives me jimmy jr vibes from bobs burgers lmao but also mark Twain??? he’s a complex character for sure and is deserving of unpacking it all… I kinda love him

ACNH is my first AC game so I didn't know about villager personalities when i started. When I came across my first cranky villager while hunting, Static (he was on the first island i went to that time), I loved his cute purple little self. Then i talked to him and was so thrown off, the only other deep voice I had heard was Wilbur. Hearing that deep voice and old man phrases from cute little Static was strange but he has become my favourite. Also I often find him and Marshal singing in the town square so my headcannon is that Marshal often visits his grandpa and they like to sing together.

Your videos are making me realize how much drama is truly happening on my island rn. Like there's so much

Chief definitely gives someone’s southern grandfather 😩😂😂

the ending with country boy chief is my favorite thing ever jdjdjdjdj he’s such a dummy

omg amanda i haven’t been watching for the past couple videos (like 5😭), BUT IM SO HAPPY I SNAPPED OUT OF IT.

I had Wolfgang for 2 years before I restarted my island and now I have Fang and I'm in love with both of them. Cranky's and lazy's are my favorite personalities! PS. I also have Kyle and Shino and she is always following him around on my island 😆

I'm so excited that you have a cranky villager again and have all the personality types! I've been hoping you'd add a cranky for a while now. I went a few months without a snooty after Tipper left and found Claudia in 9 tickets who I wanted. I've been watching you for months and love your videos. My girlfriend, before we started dating, used to have Chief as her bf (on New Leaf) like you have Kyle as yours. He's pretty cool. We have Lobo on our island.

What’s so funny is that I had Chief on my island before and loved him so much, but I absolutely DO NOT remember him talking like this? Like at all???😭😭 this is both hilarious and flabbergasting

I will never forgive Nintendo for turning every Cranky into old men just because Dobie exists

Honestly I love southern Chief. He gives me sweet farmboy vibes who moved to the big city. He's an old soul. Also! Recently followed from your pokemon legends arceus playthrough. You are very funny and I'm excited to catch up on all the island lore :DD (also yoooo! I love rune factory, I'm totally looking forward to that as well!!)

Static and Octavian >>>>>> I stan them sm we need one of those to come in and stir the pot. Static is grumpy and adorable all at once.

Chief is a permanent resident of my island. I love him so much. Also, as someone with a southern twang, pls don’t discriminate against us!! Lol. So often people with southern accents are immediately written off as either uneducated or bigoted (same thing, really). But I promise we are nice! We just wanna bake you a pie ‘n have you over for dinner! Lol. Love you. Hope Chief sticks around for a while!! I think he will grow on you! ❤️

I haven't watched yet but I can't thank you enough for this video i needed it so much today! 😭💖 thank you amanda for being such a source of comfort ilysm 🥺

I was villager hunting and came across Chief, mistaking him for Audie; 2020 was the first time I ever played animal crossing, so it was an honest mistake. By the time I realized, Chief had already moved in. I was gonna bully him off my island but ended up falling in love with him. Ger him a leather jacket, he looks best in those. Plus with happy home, I was able to redecorate his entire house. I made one wall a museum wall so he could continue his art hobby.

i was just rewatching your videos when i got the notification you posted!!! so hyped for this!

She’s back!! Literally making my morning

Maybe unpopular opinion but.. i think chief being southern is cute haha-

affluent artist whose media references street art? he’s giving basquiat

I don’t know how I held it together until the “To Kill a Mockingbird” comment 😂😂 also BIG Jasper vibes

thats how octavian talks. like talk to you like their grandpas lolll

I have been binge watching your videos and making my boyfriend watch too! You bring me so much joy and entertainment! Keep being amazing!

Amanda, I had the best idea for Mothman! If you buy a theremin or several and place it behind objects, like trees etc, when you/visitors run by it, it sounds like a distant wolf howling, or at least a scary sound. This would be AMAZING on Mothman! also, watching the TV at 3:33 am on Saturdays means an alien invasion on ur screen : ) Thought you'd love this!

the drama in your videos is a part of what make them amazing

So each villager personality has two subtypes. A or B. With the cranky villagers in particular, I believe subtype B makes them even more "older". Ironically, Roscoe and Chief are in the B subtype group. But Rooney is not- he's A.

when u just wanted a cute fox villager and u get cursed with a dollywood crew member

STOP IT CHIEF IS MOVING INTO MY NEW LEAF TOWN AS OF TODAY 😂😂😂

Amanda I have Croque in my new leaf town a long time ago & he was my favorite cranky villager ever until he move out & my heart was so broken & empty without my favorite villager until Pietro my favorite smug villager was there for me right by my side & I never be alone in new leaf ever again until Croque was returned to me in new horizon I feel happy again with Pietro by my side ☺️

my favorite cranky is Murphy, he’s kinda basic but he’s GREEN

I’ve had chief since the beginning and now he’s like my only stable father figure

i’m so excited to see what chief brings to molokai!!!!

Before changing his clothes, Chief is serving the twins from The Social Network with that deep voice.

i speak for both myself and angry coconut that we are very angry you didnt take wolfgang

chief should've been smug :/ we were robbed

I have chief on my island and he is a menace. No one is safe from his slick boy eyeliner. His house sucks tho lol

In my mind, and on my island, I have Chief as like a cool swanky dude who sounds like Matthew McConaughey

BAHAHAHAHAHHA it's real dark out "him wearing sunglasses

I had Chief on my first island forever before I lost the save data. :( Julian was my island's resident Slut (affectionate), and he was CONSTANTLY trying to hit on Chief, like he was trying to be the twink to Chief's daddy, but Chief remained completely oblivious. XDD Personally, I love Chief a lot, and I think he has a more grunge/punk side to him than you're giving him credit for. His HHP request is for a garage to hang out with his friends in, which imo is very sweet, so while he may be Southern, I think he's the good kind, not the Confederate type at all.

The outro song I just can't ⚰️

southern phobic amanda… lol

So glad you have a cranky now! Chief is awesome, he’s my birthday twin and a Sagittarius.

the twilight lore explanation fucking sent me

Yay another post from Amanda ILY♡♡♡

NOT THE TRAP CLOWN MUSIC IM CRYING

i truly believe that chief is just matthew mcconaughey as an animal crossing villager. chief is his fursona

The drama of it all made me open my acnh file for the first time in like seven months, and honestly it’s giving everything I needed in these trying times 💅✨

i love him 😭😂 i’ve had him on both my islands and i agree he definitely gives more southern twang vibes than some of the other crankies. but as a person stuck in texas i definitely get wholesome energy from him compared to many people actually around me 😆😅

LMAO "kids these days" - maybe he really is a vampire? Anyway thanks for this video, I have a really bad toothache and got to watch it cuddling up with the dog.

Fang brings soooo much drama he is all over everyone on my island

I recently took in Gaston and I keep giving him security uniforms lol

Here’s what is happening on my island - - Cherry & Twiggy went on a clothes shopping date together & Cherry insulted Twiggy’s sense of style & Twiggy said “at least I’m not like every other baby goth on the street” - Twiggy invited Cherry over, cherry apologized for how bad their date went - I walked in on Biff & Willow having a make-out session at Willow’s House 😳 - Biff reveals “the other day Willow gave him a sports drink” - Willow confirms that she is dating Biff - Biff & Marlo rake leaves together - I just walked in on Willow kissing Cherry at Cherry’s house 😳 - Zell was looking through Cherry’s window, he may have also seen Cherry & Willow kiss - Cherry is worried that Zell may have seen something & had a nightmare - Willow was up super late due to her fling with Cherry - Ava & Beardo hung out as neighborly friends at Beardo’s house - Cherry & Willow are hanging out in public - Twiggy told Biff to find a new hobby - I walked in on Cherry hanging out with Biff at Cherry’s house - Cherry, Biff & Willow are in a polycule - Beardo made Olivia sick, so he could nurse her back to health & win her affection - Zell Complimented my outfit - Zell was serenading Olivia with a piano love ballad in her home & they kissed in front of me - Beardo complimented my outfit & gave me a gift - I started pretend dating Beardo to make Zell/Olivia jealous - Cherry asked me to move away from the island (trouble in polycule?) - Willow convinces Cherry to stay on the island - Biff dramatically moves away from the island after proclaiming that Cherry & Willow have a deeper connection with each other than him - Olivia spoiled a show for Ava & Ava got pissed - Ava confronted Zell for having low standards in relationships & he was pissed about it - Peewee tried to give Ava advice about navigating her relationships on the island & she completely wrote him off - Marina was flirting with Willow by sending notes - Willow was waiting outside the airport, checking her phone to see what time Biff’s flight comes in, she still loves him - Twiggy likes to watch Horror Movies 🍿 - Peewee asked to leave the island, but decided to stay - Beardo came over to surprise me with a Brunch date - Beardo joked about moving in together - Beardo flirted hard with me on our date - I suspect that Beardo has caught real feelings for me, even though we only planned to pretend to date to make Zell jealous - Twiggy is into women & had a crush on Cherry, but things went sour (CONFIRMED) - Willow & Cherry are still going strong as a couple (CONFIRMED) - Ava & Beardo have been conspiring to ruin Olivia & Zell’s relationship (CONFIRMED)

When I had chief on my island he was the biggest problem starter there. He gifted me SKELETONS on multiple occasions and fought with everyone else regularly

I love Chiefy!!! He's been my resident cranky for a while. I changed his house and clothes, and he's just like the kindly old man up in the hills.

Babe wake up Amanda posted another video of Molokai drama

Chief has always given me 💅🏼✨ but maybe it’s 🤠💅🏼✨????

You're in for a surprise when you see the interior of Chief's house! Seriously, though, he was on my island for nearly two years and I legit cried when he left. Chief was my best friend. But I made myself a rule that when they've asked to leave for the tenth time I let them go.

I'm supposed to be sleeping, I have not done that. You're too good to wait for!

from experience chief is such a preppy little rich boy with his daddys money but i love him. he'll threaten to tell his father on you but its kinda cute like it makes you wanna beat him up

LMAOOOOO fuck this was even better than I anticipated

I honestly always have either Fang or Kabuki, Fang and Olivia are the resident town mom and dad, and Kabuki is town grandpa in my previous iteration of Wysteria. I also like Butch and Chief and Wolfgang though. They all talk like that but maybe he's the cute sweet hospitable type of southern guy and not the youngest soldier in the confederate? If you can't seem to not see him as southern, maybe he's one of those southern former emo or grunge punk types doesn't want to be in his home town used to get into trouble but is sweet deep down types (based on his house) who moved to the big city and kinda chilled out on his punk past when he did so he cleaned it up. Also maybe he's like 30's young but is one of those guys that feels\acts old even though he really isn't (cause I'm 25 and like... I do some of that "kids these days" shit) XD He gives me a similar vibe to Deuce Spade, but instead of "I had a punk phase in middle school" it's like that was my life till I was an adult and got away from my shitty hometown kinda thing. (Cause honestly kinda same) and that could make for a fun character, cause then he kinda parallels Kyle or Roscoe but not

Idk if its already on your radar Amanda, but I think you'd really enjoy cult of the lamb and I would definitley enjoy seeing you play it. Its been compared to animal crossing except you're a cult leader- I think you'd have fun with it

CHIEF IS MY FAVORITE VILLAGER EVER AAAAAAA

Does anyone have any tips for terraforming and island designing? 😭 I struggle so much!!

ngl, I feel like Chief would have a whiny voice like Hunter from The Owl House

Love Chief!! Hes a yuppie with an arty side haha

Chief My guy! Fr, we are engaged on my isle. Dif voice tho ahah

Chief dresses and acts like he peaked in high school 💀

👏🏼🎉🥰 YAS- I can’t wait for the next RF5 video!!!! I’m in a love triangle with Martin and Reinhard and I need my bestie for emotional guidance! I need to see how your cliffhanger saga unfolds!!!

literally was watching the kyle hunt when this notification came but obviously this is more important
