  • I remember this commercial as a child, I always thought they were real, until it said "you know that couldn't be real" me: Awwe darn it!

  • Ain't no one fucks with tiny hippo . . . ain't no one .

  • ahahahahah ok so during english class my teacher was explaining this commercial and some dumbass bitch in my class asked "wait, r they real!?" 

  • Hippo is cute!

  • So many memories :')

  • house hippos are awsome !!!!

  • the ultimate pet of my childhood.

  • I TOTALLY REMEMBER THIS. it used to be my favourite commercial when i was younger :)

  • They should show this in the advert breaks in silly programmes like Ancient Aliens, etc.

  • BRAIIINNSS...

  • btw, skinny pigs kinda resemble house hippos and basically have

    the living like guinea pigs if your lookin for a unique pet  ;)

  • One of THE BEST Commercials Ever :)

    so glad i found it here.

  • HOUSE HIPPO, ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ Y U NO REAL?

  • I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who believed and always wanted a house hippo whew! Haha this commercial should have been better advertised if they were trying to make children understand what they meant. I thought the woman was mumbling

  • I thought house hippos were real when I was younger !!! I ALWAYS wanted one growing up.. I STILL want one now haha. But I know there not real now :P But I always thought they were growing up. I dont even remember the lady saying they werent real at the end of the video.. .Oo

  • if you watch an idiot abroad this commercial is completely wrong LOL

  • @iHasPistons Yess lol I was just saying that ahaha

  • I WANT A HOUSE HIPPO!!

  • when i was young i definitely 150% thought these were real, i wanted one so bad haha

  • I Loved this commercial when I was younger.

  • Pity that people don't exercise this skepticism when it comes to claims about energy bracelets, homeopathy, astrology and all sort of other woo.

  • This is the best commercial of all time. I remember when I used to freak out when this commercial came on because I loved it so much and still do

  • The house hippo and I have shockingly similar habits.

  • When i was 3, this video was misundertood to me i ripped through my entire closet And waited fo christmas for an excuse to leave peanut butter om toast sitting out. Now i watch it at age 14 And i am so disappointed.

  • oh god i want one so bad

  • that cant be true! i play with my house hippo all the time!

  • on my 5 bday i wished for a house hippo

  • Genetic modification must make it real.

  • This comes on 20 minutes before I go to work every morning. Always brightens my morning :D

  • they still run this add saw it today on tv it is awesome

  • I WANT ONEEEEE :(

  • I thought these were real for like, ever and was like "WANT!" then when I found out it wasn't real I was sooo disappointed.. XD

  • I WANT A HOUSE HIPPO!!!!!!

  • I knew this was fake due to the fact that "in a kitchen just like mine", there would be a woman. And in this commercial, there wasn't. Can't fool me, stupid commercials.

  • FAVOURITE COMMERCIAL!

  • A part of me died when i found out they weren't real TT_TT

  • When I was younger and I found out house hippos weren't real, I was so upset. XD What sucks is that the commercial is about false advertising. But most of it consists of this false advertisement.

  • DAYUMMM HIPPOS R FUKKIN HOOOOT :D hi mr a's class im ethan :)

  • i only watched this for the cute hippos :)

  • I thought this commercial was real when I was a kid and house hippos were going to walk around my house as I slept.

  • i thought this was real up until last year when my friends told me it wasnt.... im in grade 11.

  • I'm pretty sure that house hippos do exist.. otherwise.. who's been getting into my chips and raisins? xp lol

  • Comment removed

  • i remember seeing this all the time when i was like seven. aww nostalgic :)

  • omg it's mini house hippos there the happy pets that you ever wants only $ 35.99 plus taxs a mesage from the cca

  • House Hippo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MrCanada967 haaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaahaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • someone should make up a real house hippo toy. Like one of those walking mechanical ones. I would love a house hippo!

  • Commercial lady why would I ask questions about what I see on TV , totally not what govt told me to do

  • Pretty good effects for 2000.

  • @fudge666master thats what im thinking

  • Who could possibly believe in something as silly as house hippos? If they were talking about roof rhinos, now those buggers are dangerous.

  • I wish these existed id keep a few as pets :D

  • OMG i just saw a house hippo

  • i use to think tht was real lol

  • I spent 2 years trying to look for one when I was little...

  • What an ironic ad. They are trying to say house hippos are not real, but they are, one stole my chips

  • lmfao i totally fell for this..

  • fuk year house hippos

  • owo i use 2 look 4 that hippo...

  • Wait a sec you mean they don't exist???? This changes everything I've ever known.

    I left crums for them and knitted socks and... O___O

  • i used to think this was real oh god

  • too bad they're not real. :( they're kinda cute

  • As I scroll through the comments, I'm really amazed at how many people just don't get it...even when they know that it's fake the message somehow stays elusive. Had people actually gotten the message the evening news would become so much clearer.

    To those who don't understand...don't worry, we'll leave Brittany alone.

  • I want a house hippo :(

  • I didn't ask any questions - i just wish that there were real house hippos lol

  • i remember when i was 6 years old i saw this commmercial... i thought it actually existed

  • i remember when i used to stayy up late to find these things but then my parent told me that they did not existe

  • OMG i remember this lol

  • most RETARDED and fake commercial ever if u believe this u r an idiot! wow...

  • i thought it was real 2 from when i was 4 to 9 lol

  • i fell for this when i was a kid, thought it was real, even after the CCA logo, i can't believe it....

  • hey that commercial got my friends sister and brother crazy about it and they didn't hear the last part!!! so their still looking for it!!

  • I LOVE HOUSE HIPPO'S OMG i remember when i first saw this commercial i wanted one so bad then to my dissapointment i found out they wherent real :S

  • I remeber when I was little I really thought house hippos really existed lol..it just proves how much of a dumbass I was.

  • @toomuchpepsi

    Haha! I believed they were real too, when I was a kid...I even tried searching for them one time!

  • yes!

  • this commercial really scared me as a kid

  • I had to do a report on this thing at school. It seems so real but i know its not

  • i love this commercial! and i just tune out the person at the end because house hippos are real!

  • dude, if youre a kid, youre not gonna listen to the boring lady talking at the end, youre gonna listen to the nice man talking about tiny hippos!!!

    i thought house hippos were real for 6 years!!

  • he he he i loooove this comercial.

  • IM GOING TO LOOK

    (tik tok on the clok)

    I SAW IT!

    MY HAND TREMBLED AS I REACHED FOR IT...

    I WAS BITING MY LIP...

    I WAS WHISPERING "HEEERE HIPPO"...

    I WAS CRUSHED WHEN I REALIZED...

    IT WAS A LEATHER BOOT...

    WAAAAAAH!!!!!

  • LOL. This commercial seems so real. I caught myself believing it for a while the first time i saw it.

  • THEIR NOT REAL?!

  • ok so my sis and i both wanted to put House Hippo commercials.

    heres mine.

    i was watching this commercial when i was 8 an it was the first time (idk how on earth i missed it all those years) and right away i ran away and stuck my head in the closet and did that every time i saw the commercial for about 2 years until i actually stuck around and WATCHED the end it was like dont believe eveerything and i was like NOOOOOO IT CANT BE! IT CANT BE FAKE! then i ran to the couch and punched it hard!!!

  • when i first aw this commercial when i was 6 i started looking for my 'house hippo' and then the 'that looked really...real!' part came on and i started bawling i mean come on talk about disapointing

  • i thought it was real when i was little.

    was so disappointed.

  • lol this commercial scares me so when it pops on TV i turn the volume to mute , mainly because of the weird noises at the end when the ladys talking.

  • what an epic commercial

  • when i was like 6 i loved this commercial :) i still love it lol :P

  • suck it

  • Whatever Canadians consider "it" to be, is surely something weird that nobody would want to suck, so no thank you.

  • "it' is a steamy pile of man-shaft...suck it....i firmly believe that Stephen Harper could kick the shit out of your American "Chuck Noris"

  • Good for you and Stephen Harper, who ever the fuck that is. FYI, people in America consider Chuck Norris to be a joke, so go eat a bag of dicks, and stop saying "eh?", you fuckwit.

  • Lmao! When I was a kid I actually believed it! even though at the end it said it wasn't true haha.

  • The kids can see through this one...do you have one to educate adults?

  • Then you wont believe how many adult have fallen for this. However, it is the message and the point that are important not the story of the commercial. Like the news on TV, most adults believe it as facts where a big chunk of it is lies and things to control feeble minds.

  • @wwbehrouz when I was a kid I beleived it, I wanted one

  • haha same.

  • omg this used to be my favorite commerical when i was little ! hahahaha

  • I WANT ONE SO BAD! lol. I remember as a kid I actually left out peanut butter toast for one...all I ended up with was ants. =S

  • Okay guys, join the facebook group ".. I used to think house hippos were real.." and we'll show them that the spirit of the house-hippo lives on!

  • I have a bad infestation of these things, we bomb for them every few months, but they keep coming back.

  • i love this commercial.

  • The first time I saw this I was like, mesmerized.

    Then when it said " You can't always belive what you see on Tv"

    I was like ' NOOO!!! ' ;(

  • When I was younger and saw this, I totally thought they were real & begged my parents for one xD

    lmfao.

  • The commercial came out like 3 months ago.. How much 'younger" could you have been..

  • How old are you?

    It originally aired YEARS ago,

  • i saw this about ten years ago...it may have 'resurfaced' 3 months ago...

  • lmao they still play this, I've seen a bunch of these old CCA ads lately.

  • some one should make like a mouse trap for them... you would sell alot and you would save alot of your leftover crust from beanut butter sandwhiches

  • Why are they saying these aren't real?!

  • I swear, these are real-- Pets Unlimited sells them!

  • so that's where my dryer lint and bits of string went

  • THEY ARE REAL!!!!! One almost bit my toe :(

  • what in the world is that freaky zombie sorta noise that starts playing at 49 sec ?

  • JESUS christ.. WTF is that?!?!?!

  • its some chanting hahaha, they put it in the one here on youtube, but its not the real one you see on TV.

  • i seen this commercail when i was like 5 i looked all over my house to find an house hippo wow i wish they wher real

  • They ARE real! I am on a waiting list for one of them. They are just starting to be bread here in Canada now. Seriously! One of the local Zoos is gonna start breeding one, and has just purchased a female from hollywood named ZsaZsa (I mean what other name) and I am on the waiting list for the next litter. They typically have 1 per little but can have twins.

  • Dude. I want one.

  • Can you hear that weird chant that starts in the background when the voice-over lady starts talking? Weird ass subliminal messaging

  • Dude this commercial is WRONG!!!

    There's a family of house hippos in my closet!

  • Oh yeah, I jsut noticed that. It's a child crying because the hippos aren't real

  • I thought this was real (and I'm 15)! I was so sad to find out IT'S FAKE! My dog and I are gonna find a house hippo today.

  • those BASTARDS

    they got my hopes up...

    when i was a kid, i searched all throughout my house to find them, for about three hours. all because i didn't see the end of the commercial

  • LMAO! OWNED!

  • When I seen it as a kid, it didn't have that end, it just had the logo, and the documentary.

  • same with me D:

  • me too

  • Lmao when I was younger I thought this was real!!

  • old memories LOL :)

  • I'm sad because there are no such thing as house hippos.

  • I WAS SO MAD!,, when i figured out they werent real

  • LOL -- me too! Now I want one.

  • you know when the lady is talking listen to the backround do ya think thats the government trying to brain wash us?

  • I still love this commercial -- don't care how old it is! Kudos to the creative team and the diggie crew who put it togehter

  • Haha that was my favourite commercail when I was little and I used to look for those things all the time!

  • omg.

    HOUSE HIPPOOS!!! :)

    lol i was scared to go downstairs at night cause i thought they were going to like Eat Me :P

  • as a child, i never paid attention to the end of the commercial and for like a year i thought they were real! :)

  • I FREAKING LOVE HOUSE HIPPO'S!

  • omfg. i miss this so much.

    I ALWAYS talk about this at school, and every one is just like "........wtf."

    this brings back SO many childhood memories.

  • hi justin,javen,mike :D supp?

  • we are doing a project in school about this commarcial xD idk why... but .. eh aww hell midaswell get back to wrk ;)

  • ........house hippos are real, theyre just skinny pigs.

  • i want a house hippo.. can't they be real. please please please.

  • i went to a pet store and some lady asked me if the hairless guinea pigs were house hippos XD

  • when i was little i was scared of this . cause i thought little hippo thinges were hiding around the house =P

  • When I was little I thought they were real and I always asked for one... but I never got one =P

  • LISTEN, at 0:48 and audio clip starts playing quietly right when they tell you to think about what your watching, THIS IS SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING

  • I heard something in the background of her speaking if thats what your meaning? i don't get it 100% though not sure

  • ya thats what it it is if you turn it up you can hear it good

  • I think it's the hippo program on the TV playing o.o

  • but its still playing when it switches from hippos to the cca logo, listen closer, the same sound sound repeats

  • Let's here it for house hippos! I love those little guys, Im going to have one for a pet

  • hear.*

    i wish i could shrink hippos so that they can be house hippos. :)
