The Urbz: Sims in the City, The Strangest Sims Game 

My trucks broke down and I'm stranded out on some farm road but I've got just enough service to watch this while I wait for my rescue to arrive

4:44 If someone said "Look out, here comes Future Mr. Popular. It's tickle time!" I would run faster than you could blink.

"It's Tickle Time, Fergie!" - Chad A., hours before his incarceration

becoming the creepiest popular person in real life is how you become a movie producer

He ambiguous on my amphibian until I Urbz

“I can’t decide whether I’m really cool or whether I’m just some sort of advanced neckbeard” I’ve never heard a more relatable quote in my life

the sims is so realistic cause i also go to a party, talk to one person, and immediately need a nap

the best part of these console sims entries for me was the ability to play co-op with my siblings, truly a wonderful time

Every two years, ambiguousamphibian plays the Urbz. We don't know why.

As a Sushi chef, I can speak to the accuracy of tickling my boss for party invites and slapping problem customers.

Item descriptions in the Sims series have always been tiny little masterworks in literature.

*Gives Will-I-am an unprompted back-rub* "Yes! I'm popular enough that my face is on posters all over town!" *Doesn't realize that the posters are there to warn people away from the crazy back rubber*

This might be the most interesting Sims game. From acknowledging strippers exist to a guy with pierced nipples, it's automatically more interesting than most of the sanitized stuff that's come out in sims 4.

I played this game a bunch when I was in high school. The funny thing about Urbz is that all the weird minigames pretty accurately predicted post-recession gig work. Honestly a wildly depressing game in retrospect lol

"it's tickle time, fergie" may be an entirely brand new arrangement of words. great job!

I remember playing this game endlessly on my GameCube. I remember I had the black eyed peas copy so you could befriend the band (but not sleep with anyone)

Finally some normalcy and sanity, the early 2000

“Everyone knows when Chad Ambiguous walks in, it’s Tickle Time.”

I worked on a small team to remake this game for mobile a couple years back, it failed horribly and the funding was cut like 6 months in lol. 😂

Watching videos like this makes me strongly consider my long-standing contemplation of deliberately inserting a specific word into my vocabulary each day to make my coworkers suspect I have a new "word of the day" calendar, when in fact I'm just fucking with them.

This game is so early 2000s I can smell the bacon scented perfume off of it

The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS is a truly bizarre game if you can get your hands on it. Running a hotel, dealing with a mafia boss, cows, alien autopsies, becoming batman, and monkey-like robots.

Please play the Sims 2 DS. That whole story is like a fever dream and I want confirmation it’s all real

the urbz for gba will always be my favorite urbz

Came out right around when Hot Wheels Acceleracers came out. The coolest Hot Wheels promotional material I've ever known.

Lol why does it sound like AA is in the middle of a mild stroke for this one? Hope he's alright

I heard one of the Black Eyed Peas songs that are covered in the game today and started waxing lyrical about this game, and then you post this AA, the universe is in alignment today...

The Urbz: Sims in the City on the GBA was definitely a highlight for me in The Sims series. Strangely because it was very much unlike normal Sims, where you played through a story mode rather than have your avatar run around in a guided sandbox. I should play that again.

"its not boarderline personality disorder if it makes me more popular with women." im telling my doctor that next time i see him.

When i was young i had a crush on the Female Sim of the Cover, and the default female model

I have been watching you for years. I have seen - in real time, via your content - the unravelling and unhinging, the metamorphosis into insanity. I am so here for it.

Ah yes, Chad Ambiguous, decendant of the legendary GURN GRUNT. Following in the footsteps of those before him within this strange groundhog day style timeline.

Thus began the origin story of the supervillain known as "The Tickler"

Why is Chad earning more money than me in 2004 URBZ world than I earn in 2024?

The Urbz is hands down my most favorite of the sims games, though it has definitely not aged as well as i thought it would with its incredibly repetitive gameplay loop and its very small selection of customizations at each location. This game would definitely shine very brightly if it were remade today.. well of coarse aside from the utter nickle and diming that EA will shove down your throat with it too. Sims Castaway has to be my second most favorite, and came out around the same time too iirc. If i had to pick a sims game that id like to see you play, itd deffo be Castaway. Definitely another title that neeeeeds a remake.

My first instance of playing the sims that wasn't SimCity was the urbz. And i remember it fondly

14:46 Aah yes, the origin story of how Waluigi got swol.

I love the Urbz for the ds, it's much more of an adventure game than you'd expect

I like the backflip and wink lol, and "It's tickle time!" had me laughing audibly... that's not allowed at work d*mn it! I should probably stop watching your videos at work, not because I need to work (they get enough out of me), but because laughter's frowned on. Damn it, someone had to come over and find out what I was laughing at, to become "the creepiest popular person of all time."

I mean you can do more of this literally any time you wish. We'll be here for it.

Mazuiko is such a mean name to give your kid lmaooo

You're drunk, Amphibious Ambiguan! Go and get forklift certified~

the strangest sims game, but one of my ALL TIME favourites 😃

Please! Play more of this! This is my all time favorite game and you made it like 10000 times better with your commentary!

fuckin loving the new drunk energy

Urbz was the first sims game my parents allowed me to own and it is still by far my favorite one. it also caused me to be obsessed with old school black eyed peas, elephunk and monkey business were the first two CDs i ever bought. thank you for making videos about this game, they legitimately make my heart swell

"Is your flabby disgusting body holding holding you back?" This game is _so_ 2000's 😂😂

i remember watching somebody play this before i could comprehend much of what a videogame was. cool to see abit of what it was about

Would love to see you do the Sims 2 GBA and like maybe a Sims 1 Magic expansion challenge become an Archmage or something.

Loved playing Urbz during my middle school days lol

hey AA i hope this is okay to ask but is everything okay? in the last few non-compilation videos you've sounded really high strung, i hope you're doing alright :(

Gosh, the nostalgia! I loved these little asides when the true Chad underneath the false, yet socially more acceptable, Chad comes out. Also I remember a schoolmate of mine playing this on a GameBoy Advance. The gameplay loop was SIMiliar but the artstyle was surprisingly different.

this ones special to me too, was all I had growing up in smallville. thanks dude. fun video

I played this game so much as a kid, this is one hell of a blast from the past

i love how you always manage to get my childhood games xD thats why i love your channel and twitch streams! :)

I'm happy my bad mood will be stopped by the fantasy worlds of Mr. 🐸

Gosh, I haven't played this game in like 17 years. All I remember is some guy on a rooftop taming ferrets?

This is the first game that ever compelled me to pull an all nighter. Couldn't stop playing this on my GameCube

Ahh, neon east as your first area. A true connoisseur

Sims 2 Castaway was a banger, I hope AA tries it, if he hasn't already.

The neck-scratch-to-tickle tactic is an all time power move.

I rented the Urbz from Family Video way back when and I only remember being confused and young enough to keep playing regardless

God I remember absolutely loving this game. This and the sims 2 psp game were such good memories.

I remember playing the gameboy version of this growing up, the fact that the actual real version fell so deep in to the uncanny valley never fails to unnerve me, like I'm being gaslit.

Sounding very very froggy in this video, Mr. Bian.

The Urbz is what happens to a copy of the Sims 2 if you left it in a Spencer's for too long.

Good memories from this and all console Sim games.

Great Sims game if you aspire to transform your character into an eternal adolescent Capitol City buffoon.

One of my all time top Sims games was Sims2 for the DS, you had to run a hotel with cameos of some of the bustin out characters

kinda curious what you would do with the sims medieval

That bouncer looks like he could bench the clubhouse.

Still feels weird to me knowing that kink, bondage and strippers are canonically in the sims universe

The absolute pain in his voice at 1:14 as he reads that line it fantastic.

13:40 yet another good use of Future Joust - Powerwalkin'

just the way you say things is so funny to me. love it

currently playing this on ps2. my ALL TIME favorite Sims (besides Sims4) 💚💚💚 also the soundtrack is amazing.

The narration waa totally unhinged , it got me 😂

Froggy RU-vidr guy, i hope you became famous. I see your videos in my feed all the time and watch them but i still have no idea who you are yet you've impacted my life so much to the point i hold out for another video from that strange frog like popular person

Truly the Patrons are the sudden but pleasant backrub that make all this possible.

"AWESOME PHSYICAL PHYSIQUE" and EA shipped this? Im not suprised.

3:00 he looks like the villain from that Rise of the Guardians moive

It sounded like it physically hurt you to say schnizzalator

Only you can make Sims as unhinged and interesting as the urbz fashion is

I played so much of this game with my cousin back in the day, a split-screen sims game was amazingly fun and janky! XD

Name a better combo than AA and a weird Sims game - its ok ill wait....

Pink Kermit the frog dancing is wild to watch

I love this game! My favorite district has to be the neon one. It's so my style!

I used to play this game with my little sister back in the day. The nostalgia is real!

One of my favorites thank you for this blessing

I could feel my sanity drop just watching this played. What a weirdly intense game. If I'd been given this as a kid, I'd be so, so uncomfortable playing it. It addresses all the things I found most objectionable as a mildly autistic kid (and still, as an adult): socializing in creepy-weird social circles, wearing fashion that makes me dry-heave, selling my soul for popularity, and making "friends" by aggressively violating everyone's personal boundaries. The comment about borderline personality disorder made me giggle :D

I loved the black eyed peas thing radda radda RADDA

10:37 You should get a Turbo controller. I don't know what the availability of an Xbox one is, but I had a really nice Mad Catz Programmable one for Gamecube. Ironically, my cats knocked it off a coffee table and killed it, and now the only Turbo controllers made for the Cube are for stinky Smash players, who don't need programmable inputs, so it can only mash the face buttons and the start button. It's a depressing state of affairs, but it kinda almost half gets the job done.

Geez This is a blast from the past. Loved this game on the ps2. Right up there with mortal kombat deception and monster hunter.

You better believe as a baby weeb, I picked Neon East as my starting area. I liked The Urbz, honestly. It wasn't the most robust or challenging game, but hopping around all the different districts and meeting all of the goofy locals never stopped being enjoyable (aside from maybe the Black Eyed Peas' district because they had no real character to them). And you know what? Maybe some day, I WILL ferret-wrangle my way to superstardom!

Would love to see Sims Medieval

The ambiguousamphibian’s videos are like the comfort food of RU-vid. Always a good day with a new upload!

This was great I remember roleplaying as a skater

when i finally got a 360 last year, this is one of the first games i bought, i reallly enjoy it for its weirdness

There was that stranded on a desert island sims. That one felt weird.

i grew up playing this , thanks for this video!
