I’ll be the first one to admit that there is the occasional individual who finds flatulence to be in poor taste. For most of us, however, there is nothing quite like a good fart joke and if somebody happens to cut the cheese in front of us or on video, it’s a guaranteed chuckle. Perhaps that is why more than 36 million people have stopped their day and watched this video. When you see what is happening, you really can’t help but laugh at the situation. After all, it isn’t just an animal farting, it’s a hippopotamus breaking wind in a way that the world has never seen before.
When an animal lives in a zoo, they are confined to a limited space and they may be dealing with a degree of boredom. I would say this hippopotamus found a great way to combat the boredom and to entertain some people who were watching at the same time.
This is not only a ‘farting hippo’, he is an Internet viral sensation. When this clip from a zoo was first published, it started spreading immediately and at this point, it has over 36 million views. He even earned himself a name, “Harry the Farting Hippo.”
Watch this video and you will see why people are laughing so hard about what he did:
