"Incredible Hippo" is the second episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law season four, and the forty-second overall. It aired on October 8, 2006 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. It was written by Michael Ouweleer and Erik Richter, and directed by Richard Ferguson-Hull. The Hanna-Barbera character ridiculed in this episode is Atom Ant, or perhaps more so Peter Potamus.

Behind the scenes
- The episode title as well Potamus's transformation is a parody of the Hulk character from Marvel Comics, as well as the the live-action 1970s/1980s The Incredible Hulk TV series it inspired.
- The line "You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry," is a paraphrase of David Banner's line "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" from the TV series. Incidentally, the former was also used in a similar parody in the Dexter's Laboratory episode "Hunger Strikes". Also, Banner himself said this two years later after the Harvey Birdman episode, in the film The Incredible Hulk, when he says "hungry" instead of "angry" while trying to speak Portuguese.
- Potamus also says, "You wouldn't like me when I'm horny."
- During the end credits, Potamus walks away sadly with his backpack to music reminiscent of "The Lonely Man".
- Wedgie's Donuts is a parody of Wedgie's Donuts.
- Edgerly is promoted to co-star in this episode.
- This is the first time Judy has appeared without becoming Birdgirl, although her secret identity is mentioned.
- The episode is dedicated to Coco.
