Another cinematical masterpiece! Who was that girl? I'm in LOVE!

Bathroom Hippo said...


She's mine! Lol.

Library Mama said...

Great job, Hippo!

How many hours does it take you to put something like that together? Or is that a trade secret?

The only part I didn't like was when the boulder squashed Pissy - too much blood. Now I'm not sure I'll allow my boys to view it - too violent!

Hah - I'm just kidding.

Have a great rest of the week.

JLee said...

hahahaha...hysterical! I love the balloon bit. I don't know about that dorky- sounding voice of Ashley?... ;)

Bathroom Hippo said...



Mrs. M - If I told you...you'd be shocked.

Jlee - Yah...some tramp voiced her. =P

Fleur de Bee said...

I LOVE IT!! I too LOVE the Balloon! hehehe. Who was the other girl besides Ashley??

BRAVO!!

Bathroom Hippo said...


The other girl is Pissy. She's a southern sweetheart that hates 95% of the world, and has a mean dog named Moose.

Glad you liked it...I was constantly thinkin' to myself: I hope BG likes this.

WooHoo! Pumpkin!

Dude! This is even better than the Jurassic Potamos one. The Ask a Ninja opening & the squishing of Yosemite Sam and subsequent B-Hip slip were definitely my fav parts.

Nice work on the impact morphs BTW!

Arcturus said...

You had me with ya the whole time lovin' it until Big Pissy was squashed...

Potamus Hippo of Arabia lives in a very strange universe, indeed.

Lee Ann said...

Encore, encore!
Very cute sweet Hippo!

Nobody was hurt in the making of the film. Except the Boulder.

Boulder 1981-2006
May he rest in peace.

JLee said...

If I'm ever in one of your movies, do I have to die a horrible death?

Bathroom Hippo said...


Probably.

Haha - you have lil bitty ears.

Truly the greatest blog in America.

Bathroom Hippo said...


Wow.

A compliment from a troll. I guess that makes me David the Gnome.

Arcturus said...

What's the test for/in?

Is Potamus helping you study?? Flippo helped me through differential equations class some years ago... (just kidding).

arthbard said...

Nice. Absolutely the best usage of the song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" ever in an action sequence. Had me on the edge of my seat. Will the girls have fun? Won't they? Maybe they'll get bored and feed the fish?

Big Pissy said...

You killed me?!?!?

Damn! My first major screen roll and I die! :(

...and so much blood!

Ewwww!!!

Other than my untimely demise~good job!

;-)

Big Pissy said...

I meant "role".....I was so distraught by my death that I couldn't think straight!

p.s. Thanks Arcturus and Library Mama for your words of support!

Library Mama said...

Was that Boulder from Colorado?

Were you visited by the ASPCB? You should have been!

And if Pissy wasn't really hurt, she deserves an Oscar!

Bathroom Hippo said...


Arc - Accounting and Marketing. Did well on one, and poorly on the other. I guess I have a learning disability in Accounting or something.

Arthbard - Hey Arthbard, yeah....girls just wanna have fun and neglect their fish-feeding duties.

Pissy - Yay pissy liked it! Don't worry...I'll ressurect you.

LM - What is ASPCB? Some School Board or something? I've been to Boulder Colorado...a few times....beautiful place.

Library Mama said...

No - it's the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Boulders.

;-)

Bathroom Hippo said...


Ah...

Sort of like PETA?

Believe it or not...I like PETA.

Library Mama said...

Yes, only it's more like PETB.

That's right - People for the Ethical Treatment of Boulders.

Big Pissy said...

Library Mama: Thank you so much for your Oscar vote.

That means so much to me! :)

Hippo: I await my ressurection.

Thank you.

Lee Ann said...

I heart you Hippo!
You are the sweetest.

Bathroom Hippo said...


You'll be alive and well for the Halloween Special.

=D

Hey Lee Ann! Commented at same time =)

Arcturus said...

Well, that was all weird. I do hope you didn't mean it when you said you're not going to visit my blog again. I know what you said was a joke. The whole thing just startled me ... and as you can tell, I have this convoluted history with Mr. Sirius that hasn't quite faded into the past.

Let me just say, though, that you achieved a remarkable result ... you got him to comment on my blog, which I didn't think would ever happen.

A. B. Chairiet said...

I love it, Hippo!! This is definitely one of your best yet. :)

And can I just say, it's so strange to hear someone else doing "my" voice?

Wow.

Anyway, thanks for killing me at the end. I deserved that.

I hope you're well.

Sorry your weekend sucked.
I hope you got some sleep.
Yes, stupid hobo spiders...
Stupid everything is stupid and should be hated.
Blankets ARE your friend.

I miss you.

Thanks for making me laugh. :)

Happy Monday!
Love,
~ Ash

P.S. New Birdman tonight!

P.S.S. Do you hate me?

P.S.S.S. I'm sorry I've been out of touch.

SafeTinspector said...

That is one persistant boulder. Really, an inspiration to all those up and coming rocks and stones trying to break into the deadfall/boobytrap industry.
I've been doing somersaults all morning in an attempt to re-enact his/its wonderful performance. My poor cat....
this didn't work out at all teh way I'd intended. :(

Lindsey said...

Potamus of Arabia! LOL I love it!

P.s. You can still call me Linny if you want to. :o)

Anonymous said...

Oh my~ very COOL!

Great use of the two tracks for the boulder montage. You are going to be an internet rockstar if you keep this up!

Anonymous said...

p.s. didja see the new harvey birdman? FREAKINAWESOME!

Bathroom Hippo said...


Arc- Glad I could be of some assistance...my inbox is still flooded with crap.

Ash- I don't hate you. I just want to hurt you...I mean love you! =P You know I have a crush on you. =) Happy Birthday Sweetheart.

SafeT- That boulder scene was based on a true story...I'll tell you later.

Linny- Welcome back! Lindsey...still can't quite pronounce it. =)

Sab- Thank you. I never sought rockstar status like Ask a Ninja or HomeStarRunner...originally I just wanted to parody Roboshrub Inc, and Harvey Birdman. Seems like I strayed away from Birdman awhile back...took some advice from Mentok the Canadian...he told me to take the character in my own direction. I took risks....glad I did. So no I haven't seen the new episode...probably won't see it until I go home for a break.

"Ash- I don't hate you."

Thank God. (Sigh) I've been stressing out for days over you, thinking, Great Ash, you big selfish jackass, now the boy hates you! :(

"You know I have a crush on you."

I have a crush on you too.

I'm just a selfish jackass with little to no time for anyone but a) my daughter, b) my employer, and c) my sad bastard writerly self.

"Happy Birthday Sweetheart."

Thank you!

I thought you weren't going to tell me...

I hope you're doing well. :)

I loved your latest post! Know a Blogger...Can I be a part of one, maybe? Be interviewed. :)

I think that would be fun, and afterwards, we could go out dancing. Watch Golden Girls. Eat Teddy Grahams.

The usual. ;)

...

Oh, and Sabtakes is right: Birdman was awesome! :)

I hope you catch it in reruns.

Happy Thursday!
Love,
~ Ash
