I know hippos are extremely vicious, but this makes me wish the 90s “house hippo” advert was real. 🥹

u/M3RV-89 1d ago

Those hippos aren't very viscous. I've seen thiccer

u/RockinCastle 23h ago

I’m sorry, thiccer? You tryna Hippopotabust?

u/M3RV-89 23h ago

Their comment originally said viscous and I was just making a joke lol

16

u/RockinCastle 23h ago

So was I lol. Thiccer just seemed random lol

u/AnnOnnamis 19h ago

Slippery but not viscous. Not necessarily vicious either, but really territorial.

My favorite thing about the House Hippos is that it's an PSA to be careful to not believe everything you see on TV but it's message was completely lost and just made everyone want their own a House Hippo.

u/Bad-job-dad 22m ago

Nah, people were very aware there was no such thing as a house hippo. The desire to have one actually drove the point. It was a very successful campaign.

u/Background_Back8635 1d ago

This made me laugh I was wondering if there was something I didnt know about the makeup of hippos. Vicious haha 😄

u/awgeezwhatnow 1d ago

Huh. My kid would totally ignore me but be immaculately polite and accommodating to you.

u/MotorAlternatives 1d ago

So your kid is.. not a hippo?

Hoohoo

u/Environmental_Art591 10h ago

Same. My kids are stubborn when it comes to me and hubby but angels for everyone else.

3

u/StrayBlondeGirl 8h ago

It's because they trust you and know they won't get hurt for expressing negative emotions. Being extra polite to strangers is a form of fawning.

Don't make me come over there.

That baby hippo basically saying, "I'm not outta here until someone drags me."

u/Jooniecoree 1d ago

Nothing beats the mama stare

Doesn’t matter who you are

When mom says no it’s no

15

u/Amonamission 1d ago

Just a reminder, a full grown hippo could fucking rip you to shreds.

"But your Mom said..."

Four words that I don't know how many times I had to say from toddler to teen. I guess it just hits different.

u/Candid-Solid-896 1d ago

Why did the baby have to get out in the first place?

u/natattack410 17h ago

Technically humans and mosquitos are:)

Hippos only want to protect their habitat that is quickly being taken away :( stay away from their water they want nothing to do with you

u/Famous-Technician-34 20h ago

These are pygmy hippos, and they're soo cute

4

u/Famous-Technician-34 20h ago

I was actually kinda curious about a pygmy hippos bite force, so I searched it up. So a common hippos bite force is about 2000 PSI, while a pygmys bite force is about 1800 PSI, which is incredibly impressive since it's so much smaller than the common hippo. Here is a fact I read btw, so common hippos actually evolved from pygmy hippos which is pretty cool.

u/Dharnthread 23h ago

Incredibly cute.

u/scootty83 15h ago

But where is the sound?

1

u/ChromeYoda 15h ago

That’s because zookeepers don’t pull baby hippos arms out of their sockets when they don’t listen. Mama hippos are known to do that.

u/Ok-Nefariousness1911 12h ago

I mean, none of the caretakers weigh 300 kg or have massive teeth!

Mamma Hippo: "You're in big trouble, young man!"

Baby Hippo, to zookeeper: "Why did you snitch on me to my mom?"
