Q-How can you tell if there's been a hippo in your fridge?
A-He leaves his initials in the butter.
What? Can anyone explain this joke to me cause I don't think it makes sense.

It's just supposed to be totally ridiculous. If there really was a hippo in your fridge, you wouldn't have to LOOK for evidence...you'd know.

Sounds like a stupid supposition that if there was a hippo in the fridge, he is so large he would bust everything. The punchline being that the hippo would leave everything perfect and simply put his initials in butter. Lame joke.

Well, if a hippo has been in your fridge, there's going to be a LOT more traces of him than just his initials in the butter. So the funny part of it is the understatement of the effect that a hippo has on your fridge.

Hmmm... maybe I'm reading too much into this, but perhaps they're referring to an actual person being a hippo, because butter isn't good for your body...........??? So the ""hippo"" has been in your fridge eating the butter.

The implausibility of a hippo in your fridge is confirmed by even more implausible evidence that it was there.
A hippo could physically fit in a large enough refrigerator, but they don't know how to write or even have initials.

Don't know either, and why would a hippo be in the fridge and who would put it there?

The answer is supposed to be "by his footprints in the butter" or mayo, or whatever. It's supposed to be nonsensical - like how do you get 5 elephants into a Volkswagen: 2 in the front, 2 in the back, and 1 in the glove compartment.

THE FUN SHOULD BE THAT YOU WON'T SEE A WHOLE HIPPO BUT NOTICE THAT THERE ARE FOOTPRINTS IN THE BUTTER. AND THE HIPPO IS ALSO A LOT BIGGER THAN THE FRIDGE
