The Hip Hippos is a recurring segment in the original Animaniacs.
Description
The segments center around the misadventures of Flavio and Marita Hippo, two married hippos that try to be in touch with the latest trends. They are sometimes joined by zoologist Gina Embryo, who tries to "protect" the hippos from harm (only to get hurt herself). Sometimes, the formula can change to spoofing product commercials, competing in a competition program, or trying to raise a "child".
