Happy Hippos

thumb|400px|The Hippos
Happy Hippos is one of Perfect Peter's favourite TV shows, along with Daffy And Her Dancing Daisies and Number Gnomes. The characters include one or two boy hippos, one girl hippo and, at times, a human host (as shown in "Horrid Henry's Hideo Video" and "Horrid Henry and the Alien Invasion"). The show is a parody of various kiddy shows like Care Bears, Barney & Friends, Teletubbies and Sesame Street. There was also a movie called Happy Hippos Big Adventure, an ice show called Happy Hippos On Ice, a healthy cereal called "Happy Hippo Healthy Husks", costume characters of them and Horrid Henry claims that there was even a Happy Hippo Parade, so Peter got into his costume and waited outside, but after all, there wasn't a parade.
==Songs==
===Theme song===
The longest version of the song goes as follows:
'We're happy and we're clappy, we're the Happy Hippos! Happy, happy, happy from our head down to our toes! Happy, happy, happy from our feet to our nose! Happy, happy, happy from our feet to our nose!'
In "Horrid Henry and the Weird Werewolf", the hippos sing, 'We're happy, happy hippos, we're happy all the day!'. However, only Peter's voice is audible, as the episode was probably rushed.
In "Horrid Henry Goes to the Movies", Prissy Polly and Perfect Peter discuss Happy Hippos on Holiday while singing, 'We're happy on holiday, holiday hippos!'.
===Brushing Teeth===
From "Horrid Henry and the Day Of The Dinosaur":
If you want happy teeth, you have to brush them right.
Brush them for two minutes - morning, noon, and night.
===Clapping ===
From "Horrid Henry's Hideo Video":
Clap once, clap twice, clap one, two, three,
Come on Happy Hippos, clap with me!
(repeat)

==Trivia ==
*"In Horrid Henry Goes to the Movies", it is seen that the Happy Hippos film was just two hippos dancing to an out-of-tune version of their theme song. It is also stated that there was another film called Happy Hippos on holiday, suggesting that although the TV show is a series, there is a film series too.
*In the story "Horrid Henry Peeks at Peter's Diary", a similar book exists called The Hoppy Hippo.
*In "Horrid Henry: Happy Birthday Peter!", Peter said he wanted to play Happy Hippo at his birthday party.
*In "Horrid Henry is Too Cool for School", Peter was being kidnapped by them in Henry's dream. But this was probably because Henry despises the show, and the Happy Hippos probably have nothing to do with 2Cool4School.
*It is implied that Henry used to love Happy Hippos when he was younger, as he owned a T-shirt with a Happy Hippo on, which he had outgrown, and sold in "Horrid Henry and the Fashion Show" and "Moody Margaret, Superstar".
*The show's nature is similar to that of Barney & Friends and Teletubbies, amongst other children's shows.
**The show may also be similar to Sesame Street, as it has toys, books, videos, movies, and even a theme park. Sesame Street has all of those, but it also has a magazine and a healthy cereal.
*In "Horrid Henry's Hideo Video", Peter mentions watching "Happy Hippos ABC."
*In "Horrid Henry and the Gross Question", the Happy Hippos are party entertainers who come to Peter's house for tea.
