@TFPDocBot tweets “People really forgot how Pumbaa (not Pumba) was clearing out the hyenas once they messed with his and Timon’s adopted son.” Another tweet from @advmadiagne says, “Mans watched the Lion King a couple times and thought Pumba was really friendly.” @aaliyahxo_99 tweets, “Another Disney star gone off the deep end. Hate that it had to be you pumba.” @8oycey says, “Man thought pumba had come along for a sing song. As soon as I saw the eyes appearing over the steps I’d have been gone mate! Hakuna Seeyalater”. Or how about the tweet from @TioSamSays, “People thinking Pumba is really going to come at you singing Hakuna Matata. Nah. Boars know where we get bacon.” And that’s just the beginning of the fantastic comments from the trending video!

The comments on social media are all too hilarious! I guess this viral video proves warthogs are not to be messed with. We feel for the person in the video and hope they have many more days filled with “Hakuna Matata” ahead.
