What do you call a hippo that’s swears a lot?

Posted on June 17, 2025 by Joke Poo

A hippopottymouth

Joke Poo:

What do you call a cloud that’s constantly complaining about the weather?

… A Cirrusly Grumpy Nimbus.

Alright, let’s dissect this hippo-tastic joke.

Analysis:

  • Joke Structure: It’s a classic pun-based riddle. It sets up a seemingly serious question ("What do you call…") with a punchline that relies on wordplay.
  • Key Elements:
    • Hippo: The central figure, a large, herbivorous mammal.
    • Swearing: Foul language, a common comedic trope.
    • "Hippopotamus": The real word being twisted.
    • "Potty Mouth": A term for someone who swears frequently.
  • Humor Mechanism: The humor comes from the unexpected combination of the animal and the human behavior (swearing), coupled with the clever phonetic similarity between "hippopotamus" and "hippopottymouth." It’s silly and predictable, but that’s part of its charm.

Enrichment & New Humor:

Let’s focus on hippos and their relationship (or lack thereof) with refined language, combined with a ‘Did You Know’ slant:

Did you know? Hippos, despite their gruff appearance, are surprisingly complex communicators. They use a variety of vocalizations, from grunts and snorts to bellows and even high-pitched squeals! While scientists haven’t yet deciphered if these noises include hippo swear words (probably for the best), it’s suspected that certain low-frequency rumbles might translate to: "Hey! Get off my mud patch!" or "Did you see the size of that watermelon?".

New Joke:

Why don’t hippos ever win arguments?

Because they always resort to mud-slinging and "ungulate" threats. (Get it? Angular/ungulate as in hooves.)

Why this works:

  • It takes the "hippo" element and plays further into the animal’s nature (mud-slinging, territoriality).
  • The invented insult/threat ("ungulate") continues the wordplay theme.
  • It’s slightly more sophisticated than the original, but still relies on simple associations for humor.

By taking the original joke’s key elements and then adding factual or humorous insights about hippos, we’ve elevated the humor beyond a simple pun. Hopefully, you thought it was worth its weight in water!
