I don't know why, but i find this page Amazon.com's Hungry Hungry Hippos customer feedback page absolutely hilarious. It's full of good quotes.

Also when I purchased the game the green hippo was broken.

While they are playing I start hearing alot of complaints like... "this hippo is junk I want that one next time"

one hippos head was malformed...

please tell me i'm not the only one.

HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS!!!

i love this game - and these comments are hilarious.

There's something deeply satisfying about this game: Is it the allure of pounding a hippo's tail as fast as you can so that your hippo will eat more balls than its opposing hippos?

i think this just sums up all of my love for this classic game.

its all about satifaction.

"I also bought Operation also by Milton Bradley, don't even get me started there."

OPERATION - OMFG

seriously, if Hungry Hungry Hippos was the worlds most vicious board game, then Operation was easily the most frustrating.

i still remember that fucking sound when you touched to sides.... dammit... those are bad memories.

jujueye · 08-18-2003, 02:39 PM

HAHAHA....this is good. I read this little tidbit, "...We laugh and scream as we pound on those hippos tails tring (sic.) to gobble up the little balls..."

Terrifically pornographic. Maybe Penthouse has investments in Milton Bradley?

Other quotes: "...my kids love it but they lost some marbles and we cant find marbles the same size now..." Well, who's goddamned fault is THAT?

"...it is colorful and the hippos look so real. ..." What the hell???

"...The little one hates anything that has a winner..." Most likely because he's a LOSER!

I read in Readers Digest that playing Hungry Hungry Hippos leads to obesity .

JumpinJesus · 08-18-2003, 03:03 PM

I bought Operation for my daughter for Christmas when she was 7. She wouldn't play it. It scared her.

galaxygirl · 08-18-2003, 03:07 PM

Hippos were a hit with the kids around here (and I'll admit to find a certain satisfaction in pounding on the hippos). I got very tired of stepping on the marbles though. It is one of those wonderful games that doesn't actually fit back in the box once assembled, so now we just play it at Chuckie Cheese. That's the great thing about having kids - you still get to play with all the toys.

Hungry Hungry Hippos is a great game. I got it when I was 8. still have the complete game

Munku · 08-18-2003, 05:47 PM

Hungry Hippos! God what a peice of SHIT! Oh joy let me slam this lever and see if my fucking retarded hippo will fucking eat my balls. This game should be burned! 0 Stars!

sadistikdreams · 08-18-2003, 07:53 PM

hungry hungry hippies?

hungry hungry hoboes?

Cujo · 08-18-2003, 08:09 PM

I prefered Rock'em Sock'em Robots to the Hungry Hungry Hippos. It didn't take very long for my brother and I to fix the heads so when the head popped off they would fly across the room.

What I would really like to know is how many people here had a Stretch ArmStrong and if you did how long was it before you pulled his arms and legs off? I had the first arm off mine in less than two hours of opening the box.
