So it's 2225, and the last two remaining hippopotomuses on earth are attending a dance contest in New York's trendy lower east side. They're not dancing but are just there to "check out the scene." Of course it's a huge event cause everyone there is there to watch the hippopotomuses just in case they fuck. And that's for two reasons: one, they might produce more hippopotomusses if they do it, and two, hippo-fucking is crazy hot in the future. It's not explained why in the context of the movie, but it is really, really true. Almost all pornography after 2100 is CGI with hippos fucking.
So the two hippos, who are named Diane and Hippotron, are at this dance contest, and it becomes really obvious that these two South African dancers are going to win cause of their amazing moves-- for example a double-up slam twist-- and the hippos look at each other and are like-- this thing's over-- let's get out of here. So everyone sees them leave and knows they are going to do it, which might be both really hot and save the race of hippo, which makes them want to go watch. The hippos are necking in a taxi and suddenly the taxi is surrounded by voyeurs, and so both the hippos, who by now realize that they're falling in love, say "We can't do this now" at the same time. They laugh, and then they're like -- where can we go? And they realize at the same time that the only place they can go to have "them-time" is Africa. So they go there.
The rest of the movie is first them doing it and thinking they can never succeed as a couple. Then Diane gets pregnant and Hippotron is like-- okay-- I can make this work. He gets a job at a swamp and the two hippos live together and find a way to love, even though they both miss the bustle of big city life and have MAJOR African parasites. Just as Hippotron Junior is about to be born, Hippotron gets in a major swamp accident and almost dies. But he survives, although paralyzed, and Diane and Hippotron are able to have more children thanks to virtual reality sex (broadcast on all the major porno channels) and the help of a scientist who figures out how to jerk-off paralyzed Hippos. It's really, really, really graphic, but it makes sense artistically and smarter audiences will be like Wow-- that was beautiful. At the end, as the human race succumbs to its inherently selfish nature and destroys itself in a rain of radioactive death, we realize that these hippos are the future of intelligent life on earth. And the audience claps all the way through the credits.

Hey. Not sure how I feel about the content of these movies, but I do appreciate the African focus that "Hippo Surprise" and "24 Hour Party Zebras" have. It is a culture that is largely ignored, and there are many animals, animals that are central to Africa's ecosystem, that are in danger. These screenplays draw attention to this and I genuinely feel that that is important. I do wonder, however, why Hippos cannot simply be cloned by 2100 A.D.
Who is going to voice the Hippopotomusses? They need to be fat people or have fat voices. For Diane, the girl hippo, what about either Rosanne or the heavy girl with long hair who used to be on The Practice. And for Hippotron I picture either John Goodman or Cedric the Entertainer. I think it sounds kind of interesting and funny, but I agree with the previous comment in that why can't hippos be cloned by 2225? If it's sexy for them to make love and if there are only two left, you'd think we'd clone them. We actually have the technology to do that now, so I think that is a question you will have to answer in the movie. At the beginning it can say in white letters "New York, 2225 A.D. People have forgotten how to clone things" It'll set things up for the movie, and it'd be really funny too.
Both Jason and El Notorious bring up some very good points-- and I'd love to address them here.
WRT: the cloning, I guess I should have made it more clear that in the future the only thing that can't be cloned are hippopotomusses. It's cause they have such fat DNA-- the cloning machines get all clogged up and explode. It's like when you blend a turkey to make a freaky drink, and I think I'm probably going to insert an opening scene into the movie where a hip New York couple are trying to do just that. It would be like this:
DAN (Beret, 300 credit sunglass): Hey babydoll, let's make us some Turkey Margaritas.
LARAINE: Good Idea. It will salve my dep--
SLAM CUT to DAN cramming AN ENTIRE TURKEY into a futuristic looking blender. LARAINE is inexplicably DRENCHED in blood.
DAN: (as his attempts fail and the blender explodes, making a huge mess) THIS IS LIKE TRYING TO CLONE A HIPPOPOTOMUS!!!
CUT TO CLOSE UP OF LIVE TURKEY IN A FIELD
TURKEY: (inquisitive) Gobble Gobble??
Music sting (Oye Como Va) And then SLAM cut to the move you've already read.
As for Fat people voicing the hippos? Please, let's up the smart here. These hippos are sexy as hell, even for hippos, and as such they'll be played by the sexiest actors in Hollywood.
DREAM CAST:
DIANE: Sigourney Weaver.
HIPPOTRON: Ewan McGregor.
PARALYZED HIPPOTRON: Favreau (robot voice)
DAN: Cedric the Entertainer
LARAINE: June Foray
HIPPO JERK-OFF SCIENTIST: Ernest Borgnine
Guys, thanks for your help. Without a little direction from the readers not a one of these screenplays would have a chance of being produced.
