"You knew it couldn't be true, didn't you?" Every Canadian child: Um, sure...

i still want a house hippo

They need to bring this agency back concerned children's advertisers no joke

House Hippos California style 😎

I was the 16 thousandth person to like the vid

i can say this is real no cap House Hippos are real

You can easily disprove the existence of house hippos simply by the claim that they're timid creatures. We all know hippos are extremely aggressive.

RIP House Hippo :( Declared Extinct today by the WWF

Who knew how relevant this video would be years later, especially since we have the CBC constantly spreading misinformation

I think this commercial would be considered " vaccine disinformation " today

Apparently contrary to everyone else, I don't recall believing in house hippos, just kind of thinking that would be cool and wishing they were real. But who knows, maybe I did believe it at some point and just don't remember.

We need house hippo irl

So Awesome Bro So Awesome.

So Cool.

Too bad people didn't use this advice during the plandemic

I remember seeing this PSA regularly growing up. It's still a good lesson that all kids should learn. This PSA should be shown more frequently these days. Since a lot of people these days hate having to do any critical thinking.

this is the most random video i have ever watched on the internet

Twitter peeps prolly think this real

i always wondered who did the voice over at the begining, cause that voice is super familair now that i think about it.

Watching this ad again, post Q era...

IDC IF THEY ARENT REAL I WANNA HOLD ONEEEE 😍😍😍

This commercial is kind of ironic considering the state of the media in both Canada and the US.

Despite living in America, I'm pretty sure that I saw this in elementary school where we just sat in a cafeteria watching various psas on a big tv screen

It’s crazy that the suggestion for “critical thinking” is just think about it for a bit and if it doesn’t seem right it must be fake. Not do any research or consult trusted sources or anything. This isn’t a “critical thinking” ad it’s an ad for trusting your intuition, which in many cases may be counter to critical thinking. What if people hear a real fact that “sounds fake”? It seems like this ad encourages you to think it is fake.

As a canadian, I can confirm I do infact have a house hippo

I want a house hippo idc if it's not real

I've had a Golden, then a Labrador and currently a Golden. So I've had three House Hippos.

We need concerned childrens advertisers today more than ever

if they wanted us to question it they shouldnt have used the most realistic digital effects on the hippos. Those things look more realistic than what we see on tv today.

I found this through One Topic talking about how he was heartbroken when he found out this wasn't real Anyone else?

all these years and i've still never seen a house hippo

This is an important lesson for adults, too! Be on the lookout for photos of "warzones" where cars are supposedly overturned by bombs, and yet the buildings and windows in the area are absolutely pristine.

It’s a shame this ad had the opposite effect on kids. I’m not sure this ad ever helped me develop critical thinking skills. It’s got good intentions but I think it fails at sending the message.

The cutest, least terrifying PSA of all time.

This ad is 16 years old. It is a mainstay of Canadian life. So many people remember it and love it. You can actually buy kits online to make your own house hippo. It is something we treasure and love to share. Part of our Canadian identity.

Why didn't this air in the US?

i remember when i saw this commercial i thought "wow, i hope i see a house hippo someday"

House hippos are def real

I worked on this commerical. We shot it on Mothers Day. I remember because I was running late to set and got a speeding ticket. The cop let me off and told me to call my mother and wish her a happy mothers day. Was surreal.

Stay fit because your house hippo may get away

This comercial is what got me to start eating Peanutbutter on toast, because I wanted to attract a house hippo

I’ve actually seen house hippos when I was a kid. They’re very cute.

Canada had some great commercials; informative yet funny. (I remember ones airing during hunting season on how to NOT shoot flesh-colored deer or how to drive across frozen lakes safely.). Then there was the Canadian animation board and its cartoons.

Bro come back

This Commercial Actually Taught Me Something Important To Remember.Don’t Believe Everything Weird You See Or Hear.

CCA: Nothing everything you see on TV is real. Us: But this is.

Kickass
