Tanzim K (formerly known as Gumball99Swell) (born June 23, 2001), is a Canadian videographer. He starts making AGK episodes since April 2013.

History and Production

In March 2012, when Tanzim was 10 years old, he discovered the Angry German Kid fad. The first AGK parody he has ever seen is "Angry German Kid Kills Fred... Again" by an influential Slikker known as AngryGermanKid82. While he was watching videos by FRED, he saw the thumbnail for this video. He watched the episode and enjoyed the part when Leopold gets annoyed by FRED's screaming and he beats him up. He watched popular episodes, such as those by AngryGermanKid82 and TheKewlOne96. That inspired him to make AGK episodes. Around 2012, he makes 11 AGK episodes, which all episodes he made were in season 1, but didn't export the video until early to mid-2013 because he didn't know how to export mswmm to WMV. He didn't have a YouTube account until January 2013, because he was too young to have an account, but started his YouTube account when he was 11.

Before he started his AGK series, he makes rant videos, which was moved to his alternative account, computerzrul2005 (now replaced by Top20EnMusique, a new channel that focuses on weekly music charts) due to him getting a 2nd copyright strike after he got a strike in February, but the 2nd strike was removed earlier by counter-claim. Since the mid-2014, no new rant videos were made. It is unknown if he officially announced the cancellation of his Speakonia rant videos. He also makes (USER) and (bogus) reaction videos, but was deleted on March 21st, 2014.

When he uploaded 11 episodes (all of which were in season 1) to YouTube, his episodes were poorly made because of grammar/spelling issues, mangled quality, inaccurate Speakonia sound (due to the fact that he has difficulties exporting text to WAV audio because he needs to register Speakonia, but he's too young to register it, so he decided to record the TTS voice with a microphone. Luckily, several months later, he resolved the issue), unfinished and clunky AAGK, etc., which are the aspects of his videos that didn't improve with age. Despite these problems, the episodes have positive feedbacks.

When Tanzim saw Sony Vegas Pro 10, at first, he doesn't want to get that software by keygen because he feared that it would kill his computer. But luckily, he got Vegas Pro 10 (pirated where you don't need to patch to get the software).

He started season 2 with AGK's Pets as the 12th episode. After AGK EP15, he is planning a Halloween special as a 16th episode, but was cancelled due to his computer running slowly. His computer is not working because Windows XP is losing support on April 2014. This caused him to temporarily cancel his series.

After he upgrades his computer to Windows 8.1, Tanzim downloads Sony Vegas Pro 12 and puts AGK back to production. After he aired AGK EP16, he made an AGK poll on what he will make, AGK meeting Animal Crossing villagers, or him making an inappropriate art, the latter was chosen as the 17th episode, while the former is scheduled as a 20th episode.

Tanzim is currently working on AGK EP20 script. His computer is having problems. Because of that, after he finish the script, the making of EP20 will be on hiatus. But fortunately, on July 15, 2015, he finally fixed his computer, so the show will not be on hiatus. He hardly works on the script for AGK EP20 due to lack of ideas and/or motivation, school, personal issues, and busyness. However, he's starting to get ideas, mostly from Tumblr and the series' latest game: Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer.

Tanzim announced that a feature film will be made. He also announced AGK EP100, which will also be the series finale.

At August 10, 2014, although not an official episode, he uploaded a filler video where he watches the Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Happy Hour.

At late summer 2014, Tanzim uploaded a remake of AGK S1 EP4, part of his Neo-Classics series. The remake has improved spelling/grammar, better quality, and enhanced dialogues.

Tanzim released AGK's 2014 Christmas at Boxing Day, though not an official episode.

In November 5, 2015, he made a list of cliches used in AGK episodes on Google Plus. His cliche list was then transferred to the Wiki, which was later refined and more comprehensive.

In Christmas Day, 2015, he uploaded an AGK Christmas special. Since then, he decided to forgo a cliche where Leopold didn't get what he want on Christmas/birthday. Originally, this special will be about Leopold watching funny Christmas videos, but was changed for unknown reasons. Also, he was planning to do a Neo-Classic of AGK EP11 (his most popular episode) as a Christmas special, but was scrapped due to his kibosh on a said cliche.

• He discovered YouTube in the mid-2008.
• He is a huge fan of Animal Crossing and reported that he also likes Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 (for its amazing music (specifically Tommy Tallarico's version), cool sprites and hilarious sound effects), Mario, Megaman, Pokémon and Sonic (all 5 were his childhood games). He also likes old school games.
  • He is also a fan of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat.
  • Sometimes, he uses Animal Crossing references in his videos.
• His favorite game consoles (from 2nd to 5th generation era) are Atari 2600, NES, Master System, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, TurboGrafx-16, PS1, Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, Gameboy, Game Gear, and Gameboy Color.
• His least favorite game consoles are the Virtual Boy, R-Zone, LJN Video Art, game.com, and Philips CD-i.
• His favorite retro home computers are the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum (even though he finds the graphics clunky), Atari 8-bit, Amiga, Atari ST, IBM PC DOS, Apple II (including IIGS), Sharp X68000 and FM Towns.
• He was reputedly a fan of Apple computers (mostly the old ones), though he doesn't have an Apple computer.
• He likes watching Mac OS X welcome videos since 2011. His most favorite is the Panther, which contains the song, Exodus Honey by Honeycut.

• Tanzim's most popular AGK episode is EP11, AGK's Christmas. Despite its poor editing and quality, it was popular mainly because of Leopold's tantrum attack. This is also his channel's most viewed video.

• Some of his AGK videos were blocked in some countries. 5 of his videos were ironically blocked in Germany, while AGK EP15 was blocked in 16 countries, including United Kingdom. It is believed that the reason why videos were blocked in Germany is because it contains a recorded copyrighted song.
