The Penguins of Madagascar | comment |
A spin-off of the Madagascar films that aired on Nickelodeon. It is an All-CGI Cartoon featuring the penguins from the film series (Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, Private), as well as the lemurs (King Julien, Maurice and Mort) in the main cast and chimpanzees Mason and Phil as recurring characters. A new character, Marlene the otter, is part of the main cast, and while various zoo animals are introduced, the main cast from the films are not shown at all (save for Alex in one of the TV specials and even then he's only seen as a hallucination of Skipper). Private, Kowalski, Maurice and King Julien have all had their voice actors replaced with some names you might recognize just the same.In it, the penguins and other aforementioned characters are all residents of the Central Park Zoo. Led by Skipper, the penguins deal with various missions within the zoo. At times, they are at odds with Incidental Villain King Julien, but at other times, he and the other two lemurs are needed to help in the missions.The show is very much in an Alternate Continuity, but as its own vehicle, it manages to stand up rather well. The series premiere drew 6.1 million viewers, setting a new record for viewership on the network.The spin-off debuted in 2008. After several years of success on Nickelodeon, the show was shafted to sister network Nicktoons in 2012, causing ratings to slide. It was announced canceled on December 23rd, 2013 after an over year long hiatus. Five episodes that were left unaired were burned off to the network two years later in 2015, with no advertising whatsoever.A feature film given the similar title of Penguins of Madagascar draws heavy inspiration from the cartoon, but is otherwise set in the continuity of the other films, and was released in November 2014.Tropes about specific characters can be found on this character sheet.Tropes: | |

"Flowers for Algernon" Syndrome | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_1062982b | comment |
"Flowers for Algernon" Syndrome: Mort once had his foot fetish cured, only to regain it while rescuing King Julien. In an inversion, the penguins once lowered their intelligence down to Mort's level (see Disability Immunity above), but then became their smart old selves again (well, "smart" is a bit of an overstatement for Rico). In another twist on this trope, in "Brain Drain" Kowalski zaps his brain and gets super smart, but the effects are temporary and his brain shrinks down to even lower intelligence. He eats fish full of omega-3 fatty acids and gets better though. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: "The Red Squirrel", poking fun at the post 9/11 (or generic) paranoia. Unfortunately, Rule of Funny demands a Broken Aesop - The Red Squirrel actually exists. In "King Me", Clemson produces the birth certificate of Julien (if you need to know, his baby butt print) to "prove" Julien isn't born on Madagascar and thus legally unfit to rule as King. Now who would think of such a silly device? "Big Blue Marble" pokes fun at Global Warming and denial thereof. Kowalski makes a fish/churro hybrid food that's addictive and delicious. The byproduct is a toxic substance that accumulates somewhere in earths orbit causing weather distortions. When it's discovered, it's suggested that they shut down the hybridization machine. Skipper doesn't want his favorite food to disappear and tries to deflect any accusations that their delicacy is to blame, calling the weather effects a hoax and questioning whether or not it was a penguin made disaster. In "Miss Understanding", Skipper going through an identity crisis and trying to act like a female after Kowalski’s DNA test seemingly identified him as female is very reminiscent of a transgender person experiencing gender dysphoria and feeling pressured to act like the gender they were assigned at birth. | |

Badass Adorable | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_15da4941 | comment |
Badass Adorable: Mort, who is usually rather cute and pathetic, but he has been known to beat Skipper at arm-wrestling, uproot whole trees and smash things with them, and beat up gorillas (though the last one was a result of one of Kowalski's experiments accidentally making him extremely large and muscular). Private may also qualify. Despite being very "cute and cuddly" he's been shown to be an excellent fighter, able to fend off Skipper's attacks while training blindfolded in one episode. And all without breaking a sweat. Then there's Eggy the duckling, who possesses the fighting skills of all the penguins before he gave it up for dancing. The titular characters also count, being small penguins capable of their cute moments that just so happen to be able to beat some stronger and bigger animals and get their job done every time. Private is the most obvious example. | |

Simple Solution Won't Work | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_16dda55f | comment |
Simple Solution Won't Work: Parodied in the episode "Popcorn Panic", where Zookeeper Alice greatly enforces the "do not feed the animals" rule (much to the zoo animals' chagrin as it means that they won't be able to get popcorn anymore). To solve the problem, Julien suggests that they simply get rid of Alice, only for Skipper to shoot it down on the belief that more Alices will just take her place (forty-two more to be exact, according to Kowalski). In "High Moltage" the Penguins want to leave the Zoo to catch the premiere of the new Commodore Danger movie, only to discover that the zoo has installed a new security system that shocks animals that try to leave. When several of their plans to escape fail, Kowalski points out that if worst comes to worst they could see the movie another day, only for Skipper to refuse, pointing out that the movie is so popular that unless they go today they'll almost certainly have everything spoiled, ruining the point of going. | |

Heh Heh, You Said "X": The common "duty"/"doody" variant occurs in "All King, No Kingdom." Maurice says that he has duties, and Mort starts giggling about Maurice saying "doody." After a scene where the penguins rub Max's butt against a tree to leave his scent and fool Officer X, they move off to the side to watch Officer X. Private starts snickering when Officer X starts saying things like "no ifs, ands or buts," "get to the bottom of this," etc., and then loses it when Skipper remarks that he hasn't seen Private laugh so much since the time that they were in Butztown, Pennsylvania. Happens again in "Herring Impaired" when Skipper remarked about the 'poop deck' of his model ship. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: How much of the events of the movies happened in this Alternate Continuity is never clarified. Is confirmed that The Lemurs are from Madagascar, the Penguins were there once and that Alex was living in the Central Park Zoo at some point before "a lot of crazy stuff happened". Besides that, it mostly ignores the movies. "The Terror of Madagascar" makes things more confusing by revealing that King Julien suffering the attacks of the Fossas did happen.....while the Penguins have no idea what they are until Kowalski explains it. Given, we never see his kingdom (in this show at least) and that he's a major Cloud Cuckoolander, is left ambiguous whatever this version of King Julien is truly the King of the Lemurs or is just something he likes to proclaim about himself. | |

Girls Have Cooties: Played with in "Operation: Cooties". Julien sees girls chasing after boys and "spreading" cooties throughout the zoo, right after Marlene has offered leaves of poison ivy to the penguins. The penguins then conclude that Marlene has given them cooties once the poison ivy kicks in. | |

Appease the Volcano God: Referenced in "Huffin and Puffin."

Adaptation Expansion | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Sort of. The four main characters from Madagascar proper never show up, but the Penguins and the zoo have their lore expanded upon. Skipper gets an archenemy in a dolphin named Dr. Blowhole, and it's revealed that he can't go back to Denmark due to an incident involving a puffin named Hans. Kowalski, on the other hand, is revealed to be in love with a dolphin named Doris (who's later revealed to be Dr. Blowhole's sister). We also get to see his Mad Scientist side. Rico, who had very little characterization in the movies, is established as an Ax-Crazy Penguin of Mass Destruction with a Soft Center. Private has a past as a miniature golfer who goes by "Mr. Tux." Mason and Phil, while not as prominent as the penguins or the lemurs, do have more personality: Mason is a Neat Freak and Phil is a laid-back slob. The following zoo animals get their introduction here: Marlene the otter (who's originally from an aquarium in Northern California), Burt the elephant, Roy the rhino, Bada and Bing the gorillas, Joey the kangaroo, Leonard the koala, Pinky the flamingo, Roger the alligator, Barry the poison dart frog, and Darla the baboon. note Burt and Roy seemed to be based on Darnell and Reggie, respectively, from the Madagascar video game. | |

For every bad action Rico does they'll take one out, and add one for every good action. When the jar is full, they'll let him buy a bunch of accessories for his doll. Private objects to rewarding him just for not doing bad things, and Skipper responds "That's America, baby!" | |

Mythology Gag | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In the first movie, the Penguins were tunneling out of their habitat and hiding the tunnel under their food dish. Here, they've built an entire underground base of operations with the entrance hidden under their food dish. King Julien has claimed the King of New York's throne as his own; Julien's throne sits on Alex's old podium, with the lion engravings covered up. Iconic lines from the movie; "Smile and wave", "Cute and cuddly" and "You didn't see anything" all show up with varying frequency. Rico made sushi for Alex at the end of the first movie. Whenever sushi is on the menu, it's Rico that prepares it. In "Field Tripped," Madagascar is mentioned several times. In "The All Nighter Before Christmas", Santa greets Julien, to which he says they go back, a nod to Merry Madagascar. | |

No Flow in CGI: Since it's just a TV show, in order to save money, the lemurs aren't visibly fuzzy, instead they're textured to merely look like they are. Similarly, the penguins' feathers have a lot less sheen to them then they do in the movies. Noticeably subverted however with the leaves on King Julien's crown, which still realistically sway when he moves around. | |

Break the Haughty: King Julien, whenever he does something wrong, something stupid or both. Once in a while, the penguins get a wake up call that they are not the invincible fighting force that they make themselves out to be like in the episode, "Fit to Print". After the Penguins make a big talk about the importance of keeping their actions hidden, the Lemurs point out to them that they unknowingly exposed themselves on camera. They try to destroy the evidence but every time they do, they just make things worse. By the episode's end, even though the evidence had indeed being destroyed, they lost their home due to their self-destruct device which they activated in their paranoia and now new evidence has been made. | |

Strange Minds Think Alike: Kowalski, while having lost his intelligence, is reminded he's an aquatic bird, to which he responds, "I'm a beaver?!" Later, Julien rejects Kowalski as his lunch, but expresses he would like a different aquatic bird, prompting him to ask "Is the beaver fresh today?" In another episode, Kowalski briefly interpets BFF as Buffalo Fire Fighters. Waaay at the end of the episode, after hearing Julien and Skipper are now BFFs Mort cries out "Yay, they're Buffalo Fire Fighters!" | |

Just Eat Gilligan: In all of the latter episodes where the Penguins have problems sleeping because of the Lemurs making too much noise, they never re-consider using earmuffs like they did in "Assault and Batteries", the first time in the series where this was an issue. Even odder, in "Operation: Break-Speare", Rico regurgitates a pair of earmuffs just so he can ignore Private citing Shakespeare, but the penguins never consider them using them for blocking the sound of the Lemurs. | |

Stable Time Loop: Occurs in "It's About Time." Or a few, depending on how you look. More specifically: Kowalski wants to build a time machine. During the expedition to steal necessary materials, a future version of Kowalski appears and asks Private to stop the construction to prevent Time Crash. Soon afterwards, another future Kowalski appears and asks Skipper to make sure the machine is finished for the same reason. Eventually all Kowalskis meet each other, breaking time. Original Kowalski decides to go back in time and convince Private to stop the construction - cue Kowalski!2 saying it's him. Then Private remarks that if he stops the construction, he will be unable to go back and stop the construction, prompting Kowalski!2 to go back in time to make sure the machine is built - cue Kowalski!3 saying it's him. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: This is how producer Tom McGrath (who is also Skipper's VA) sees this series in association with the films. It's been established that the lemurs are still from Madagascar, and that the penguins have been there, but it's never explained how or why they returned. Basically it's what would happen if the main cast chose to remain in Africa while the Penguins and chimps chose to return to New York. | |

In the episode "Red Squirrel", the penguins meet Rockgut, an old penguin who has spent his life hunting the Red Squirrel, a notorious enemy from nearly fifty years ago. Initially, Private's the only one who realizes that he's "completely mental," but the other penguins realize that Private was right after Rockgut accuses Private and then Kowalski for being the Red Squirrel. So they send him on a Snipe Hunt to get rid of him, and Private says that he feels bad for Rockgut, because of how he's wasted so many years chasing after a threat that probably doesn't even exist anymore. In fact, the Red Squirrel does exist, and had been waiting for Rockgut to exit so that he could put his plans in motion. | |

In "Operation: Neighbor Swap", the Penguins can't stand Julien's singing so they send him, Maurice and Mort to the petting zoo in hopes they suffer there and get Roger as a neighbor. Unfortunately, Roger is actually an even worst neigbor than Julien as he unintentionally gets them into trouble whenever he visits. When the Penguins tried to undo their actions, King Julien sics his new rabbit entourage upon them and they suffered the most brutal yet adorable Curb-Stomp Battle they ever had. Adding more salt to the wound, the Penguins are forced to hear Roger's singing, the very reason this whole mess started. | |

The one-shot character dodo bird is depicted as a Fearless Fool who gets himself killed multiple times simply because he's not afraid of anything. This was Truth in Television (and even mentioned on the show), as part of the reason dodos went extinct is because there were next to no predators on their island, and therefore they evolved no defenses and were oblivious to how dangerous humans were when they first showed up. | |

The Penguins of Madagascar / int_55f92df9 | comment |
Wire Dilemma: In "Tagged", the penguins are interrupted while upgrading the zoo's heating system and must rely on the lemurs to finish the job for them before the furnace overloads and explodes. The lemurs open the control panel to reveal seven red knobs. Kowalski says that the knobs are red, crimson, scarlet, brick, cardinal, ruby and rose. They must only twist the scarlet knob but Maurice points out they are all the same shade of red. Mort appears to twist the right knob purely by luck but then the lemurs notice they connected the machine to the zoo's air conditioner instead of the furnace. They manage to save the zoo only by opening the main water valve which relieves the pressure on the furnace preventing the explosion. | |

Achievements in Ignorance: The penguins have trouble removing a hornet nest. They discover that Mort isn't hurt by the hornets because he is protected by a "halo of ignorance". Kowalski uses a machine to drain their minds of bad thoughts so that they could then deal with the hornets. Hilarity Ensues. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Skipper occasionally makes less-than-complimentary comments about mammals. The closest thing to religion in this show (the lemurs' belief in spirits) is generally scoffed at by the other characters. In "Hard Boiled Eggy", one of Skipper's main arguments against Eggy joining the team is that he isn't a penguin. However, he later makes a comment along the lines of "That boy will make a darn fine penguin" after being impressed by his skills. This is why every penguin but Private is against helping the young leopard seal, Hunter, in "Operation: Antarctica". However, this is justified as leopard seals are their natural enemies. Marlene tells a couple of badgers to "stop badgering [her]", which they perceive as an unfair stereotype and a particularly nasty ethnic slur. The citizens of Hoboken get this treatment too, from both the animals and the humans. | |

It was to the point that they were actually mistaken as 'BFF's by Skipper's Arch Nemesis Dr. Blowhole... and the other penguins agreed with him. | |

Big Red Button: Played with in "Tagged." The lemurs have to hit the right-colored one to prevent the heat/air conditioning system (which Kowalski doctored) from blowing up, but all seven are virtually indiscernible shades of red (brick, crimson, scarlet etc.). Mort finally hits the right one, but they've installed the pressure mechanism on the air conditioning system instead of the heater by mistake. | |

Never the Selves Shall Meet: Kowalski invents a Time Machine, but a future Kowalski has come to get Private to stop him, warning him that if both Kowalskis were to ever meet, it would cause a rip in the space-time continuum. Also, a third Kowalski has come to get Skipper to keep the time machine from being destroyed. When the two future Kowaslkis meet, they reassure the others that it's okay, as long as the original Kowalski doesn't see them. And that's when original Kowalski sees them, causing the space-time rupture that led them all here in the first place. | |

Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: In "Arch Enemy", Skipper suggests a proper nemesis for Private (instead of Dale the snail) - a tiger, or a shark, or a tiger shark. | |

Idiot Ball | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Julien seems to have one predominantly attached to him. Especially prevalent in the April Fools episode. Why in the name of heaven would anyone purposefully piss off a Rhinoceros?! It's a freaking Rhinoceros! Also prevalent in 'Best Laid Plantains', where Julien decides to go eat the gorillas' new batch of plantains... despite being advised not to by Maurice before and every animals he talked to. note Mort was the one who got Julien to do it, and as for Marlene...when Julien gives her a plantain, she helps the lemur finish them all off. | |

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_72ce3f54 | comment |
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Skipper and King Julien didn't have much of a relationship in the movies but they seemed to be in mostly cordial therms, given the Penguins had no oposition for him to join them in the airplane and even gave him a first class service. In this show they are Sitcom Arch-Nemesis, with King Julien being the most recurring problem the penguins suffer. | |

Killer Rabbit: In "Operation: Neighbor Swap", Julien sics the Petting Zoo rabbits on the penguins. To the penguins' surprise and Julien's, the rabbits are efficient, deadly fighters and they beat the penguins senseless till they dropped on the floor defeated. In "Operation: Lunacorn Apocalypse", while the Big Bad of the episode is in a Lunacorn's body, Private's blabbering about the toy is what make him realize he can control an army of Lunacorns and access Reality Warper powers. | |

The penguins are suspicious of a walrus named Rhonda who moves into Marlene's habitat. They think that the walrus a spy bent on stealing their invention, but Marlene thinks she will be nice once she gets to know her. Once Marlene is upset about Rhonda's messiness, they have her Put on a Bus. But, they realize that the bus is taking her to a polar bear reserve, and take the bus back and put her on a different one. It is then that they realize she has stolen the penguins' invention. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In "Fit to Print", the penguins are concerned over a picture of the lemurs that also has the penguins doing their secret things in the background ... but Skipper's even more concerned that the picture also shows him with toilet paper stuck to his foot. In "The Hoboken Surprise" when Skipper learned that the deranged zookeeper of the Hoboken Zoo would be working at the Central Park Zoo, he realized that everyone there would be replaced with bio-androids and imagined Marlene being thrown off a cliff by her double, Phil and Mason's doubles throwing them in a underground chamber, and ... Julien's double using him as a punching bag, to which he stated "Eh, I could live with that one". Kowalski warns Skipper of the dangers of a kid's backpack, saying it's a minefield that could have firecrackers, shaken up soda cans, and sharpened number 2 pencils. | |

The Penguins of Madagascar / int_813e694d | comment |
Continuity Cavalcade: "The Hoboken Surprise" features the Penguins ending up in the Hoboken Zoo, where every minor character the penguins had gotten rid of by sending them to the Hoboken Zoo is waiting for them. Roger, the Alligator, is first introduced in the episode that Marlene believes he's a monster living underneath her habitat. Later, in "Gator Watch", Roger is caught and moved to the zoo. When Roger shows up again in subsequent episodes he always appears in the zoo. Max the cat is first met when the penguins believe they've traveled to the moon. Later, the penguins greet him as "Moon Cat", and he's seen in cameo in a later episode. Barry the poison dart frog, first seen in the episode "Untouchable", is seen in the reptile habitats in "The Big Squeeze". In "Launchtime", Private holds up a tour guide map of the zoo with him on the cover. Many episodes later it's a plot point that Private has always been on the cover of the zoo's tour guide. The Russian repairman from "Work Order" shows up again in "Kanga Management". In the climax of "Untouchable", Private builds himself an iron penguin suit to protect him from the toxic touch of Barry. He uses the suit on several more occasions afterward, such as a super hero suit in "Danger Wears a Cape", a hazmat suit in "Siege the Day" and even as a space suit in "Operation: Big Blue Marble". In a season one episode King Julien has Maurice build him a floating throne. In season 3's "Feline Fervor," when the team looks for King Julien in the city they use the throne as a vehicle to search. | |

Interspecies Romance: Played with in "Otter Things Have Happened". Kowalski invented a device which can locate the ideal mate for someone. When he tested it on Marlene, it turned out that her ideal partner is Fred the squirrel. However, their relationship didn't work out, and it was hinted in the end of episode that her real ideal one is a male otter who lives near Fred's. Kowalski often pines over a dolphin named Doris. When we meet her, she's dating a platypus. Skipper dates a falcon in one episode, and has a crush on Marlene while thinking she's an arctic mink. Private fell in love with Shawna, a human vet. | |

Joke and Receive: In the episode when they get stuck in Hoboken, one of several options Kowalski brings up is that all the animals are replicants. While fighting Skipper touches them and dismisses the idea. Turns out the other animals are biosynthetic androids. | |

Third Law of Gender-Bending: A faulty DNA test has Skipper convinced he's a female. At first he thinks it won't interfere with his job, but then he does things like wait for the others to open the door for him and ask for directions. So he quits the team, puts on a piiiink bow and moves in with Marlene, who is not amused with his outdated ideas of femininity. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: In "Mort Unbound", King Julien uses the now Hulked Out Mort to strong-arm everyone in the zoo into giving him fruits. When Julien refuses to give Mort a cut of the spoils, Mort turns on him. In "Operation: Neighbor Swap", the Penguins can't stand Julien's singing so they send him, Maurice and Mort to the petting zoo in hopes they suffer there and get Roger as a neighbor. Unfortunately, Roger is actually an even worst neigbor than Julien as he unintentionally gets them into trouble whenever he visits. When the Penguins tried to undo their actions, King Julien sics his new rabbit entourage upon them and they suffered the most brutal yet adorable Curb-Stomp Battle they ever had. Adding more salt to the wound, the Penguins are forced to hear Roger's singing, the very reason this whole mess started. The animals at the Zoo turn on the Penguins after they learned that they spied on them to learn about their embarrassing secrets. Although Private manages to erase everyone's memories including the other Penguins, Burt sits upon the three by accident with Kowalski yelling what did they do to deserve this. | |

Continuity Nod: The entire "It's About Time" episode may be a nod to a remark that Kowalski made in "Two Feet High and Rising" about inventing a time machine. "I Was a Penguin Zombie" gives a slight one to "Needle Point," in that the doctor acknowledges Skipper's fear of needles and gives him a topical application instead. It goes horribly right. It pops up again in "King Me," apparently worse than before because said needles were just sewing needles. "Tangled in the Web" and "Go Fish" mention a video of an old lady beating up a lion. "Hard Boiled Eggy" is a sequel episode to "Paternal Egg-Stinct", with several flashbacks. In "Badger Pride", Marlene goes feral when she's outside the zoo, like in "Otter Gone Wild". | |

Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: Alice in "Popcorn Panic," upon catching a boy feeding popcorn to the animals: "Do! Not! Feed! The! Animals!" It's punctuated with her slapping up a "Do Not Feed the Animals" sign on some object with each word. Lampshaded in "In the Line of Doody," with a sting and a zoom-in on each word. | |

Incidental Villain: King Julien. Being a spoiled ego-maniacal control freak, he's the most common antagonist on the show, with his schemes often being the catalyst for larger plots or being the main threat of the episode. But, despite being something of a Jerkass, he is only casually disliked by the rest of the cast. The other characters tolerate him when he's not doing anything antagonistic, since he's not generally a bad guy, just a spoiled jerk who occasionally screws with people to get his own way. | |

Coincidental Accidental Disguise | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_bbb94287 | comment |
Coincidental Accidental Disguise: In "I Was a Penguin Zombie," Skipper escapes from the vet after breaking his wing, and through a combination of green topical ointment (which numbs his mouth, making him unable to speak), tangled gauze, talcum powder, and a sprained ankle, ends up looking and acting like the living dead. | |

Berserk Button | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Never, EVER touch King Julien's feet. And if you ever decide to skate over them... well, say hello to Julienderung. "Friend-in-a-Box" suggests that a Freudian Excuse may be involved. After Mort becomes obsessed with a portable video game, Julien goes out of his way to try and force Mort upon his feet, claiming that he wants to experience the joy of kicking Mort off. Eventually, he even goes so far as to beg Maurice and the penguins to pay attention to the royal feet. NEVER forget or ignore King Julien Day, for that matter... "Which forgetter is next for the whooping?! Come on, I want you to hurt LIKE I DO! UAHAHAHAHAA!" Rico's berserk buttons are messing with his dolly or hurting his friends, especially Skipper. Skipper has a few: Okay, so he doesn't go berserk, per se, but he really doesn't like it when you call him fat, or any of its synonyms. He likes to claim it's muscle. He really doesn't like Hoboken, NJ. Or Denmark. The two badgers Becky and Stacy hate it when someone says "badgering", or calling their games silly, or making fun of their species. | |

Negative Continuity | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_bd8aa92a | comment |
Negative Continuity: "Jiggles" has a giant gelatinous blob break a large hole in the penguins' headquarters which is replaced in the next episode. "Little Zoo Coupe" has the penguins modify their car to make it "boss," but it is back to its pink, frilly self in later episodes. "It's About Time" ends with Kowalski building a snowcone machine and burying New York in shaved ice. Come next episode, everything is back to normal. "Kaboom and Kabust" ends with Rico completely destroying the lemur habitat, which is back to normal in the next episode. Private gets left behind in the plush factory in "Operation: Plush and Cover," but is back at the zoo with no explanation in the next episode. | |

Good Behavior Points | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_c253697 | comment |
Good Behavior Points: In "Marble Jarhead", Rico drives the car to a store after spotting a poster for Princess Ms. Perky accessories, causing the thermonuclear bomb the penguins had to explode. Due to this, he is put under marble jar probation, where he receives marbles when he behaves well and has them taken out of a jar when he misbehaves. Once it's full, he'll get the accessories. While he causes mischief like destroying Private's house of cards, he soon compensates for them like building a bigger one with regurgitated cards. After he battles Julien when he believes the doll was kidnapped by the penguins, the jar is emptied, but he vomits dynamite to blow up jars of marbles in the store to fill up his and ultimately receives the reward. | |

Big "NO!": Skipper in "Skorca!" when he sees Private get carried off by the "dying" skorca. Julien also lets one off in "Out of the Groove" when he finds out he can't dance anymore. In "Snakehead" when Skipper gets eaten by the large fish, the other penguins let this off. Skipper does yet another Big No when he discovers Rico's gone hippie on them. Deconstructed by the Red Squirrel in "Our Man in Grrfurjiclestan" when he gets captured during it. See more examples at Slow "NO!". | |

Ass Shove | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_c45c9fcd | comment |
Ass Shove: Not exactly shown onscreen, but Julien's expression when Kowalski shoves a flipper under the table he's sitting at and yanks out a thermometer makes it pretty clear. "Action Reaction" features Julien repeatedly falling afoul of Roy's butt. First, he gets catapulted at the Rhino by Mort, then he gets sat on after tunneling into the Rhino enclosure. The first time, he might've just smacked into Roy since it happens offscreen; but the second time, it happens on screen, the light from his mining helmet comes shining out of Roy's eyes, and Skipper landing on Roy's back causes the Rhino to "launch" Julien back into his tunnel at high velcoity. | |

The little boy in "Field Tripped" who keeps seeing the penguins. The people who first saw Roger in the wild in "Gator Watch" get even ridiculed on a news show. | |

Animals Not to Scale | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_d0c9634e | comment |
Animals Not to Scale: Everyone but Mort is unusually small for their species — no one seems to be over 2 feet tall. The gorillas, on the other hand, are about the same size as the rhinoceros - so it's either extremely big gorillas or an extremely small rhinoceros. Especially blatant when the (scaled-up) gorillas and the (scaled-down) chimpanzees share a screen. While in Real Life, chimpanzees are only slightly smaller (although much more gracile) than gorillas, in this show a chimp could fit into a gorilla's hand. | |

"Eureka!" Moment | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_d129e13e | comment |
"Eureka!" Moment: In the episode where the Penguins keep losing to the lemurs in capture the flag, Skipper hits upon a realization when he remembers Kowalski's earlier words about how no land mammal can move that fast: lemurs don't travel by land, they travel by treetop. The lemurs were winning by jumping through the trees and, since the flag was always kept next to a tree, appearing directly above the end. | |

Subverted Suspicion Aesop | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_d23ca4cc | comment |
Subverted Suspicion Aesop: The penguins are suspicious of a walrus named Rhonda who moves into Marlene's habitat. They think that the walrus a spy bent on stealing their invention, but Marlene thinks she will be nice once she gets to know her. Once Marlene is upset about Rhonda's messiness, they have her Put on a Bus. But, they realize that the bus is taking her to a polar bear reserve, and take the bus back and put her on a different one. It is then that they realize she has stolen the penguins' invention. In the episode "Red Squirrel", the penguins meet Rockgut, an old penguin who has spent his life hunting the Red Squirrel, a notorious enemy from nearly fifty years ago. Initially, Private's the only one who realizes that he's "completely mental," but the other penguins realize that Private was right after Rockgut accuses Private and then Kowalski for being the Red Squirrel. So they send him on a Snipe Hunt to get rid of him, and Private says that he feels bad for Rockgut, because of how he's wasted so many years chasing after a threat that probably doesn't even exist anymore. In fact, the Red Squirrel does exist, and had been waiting for Rockgut to exit so that he could put his plans in motion. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: A non-fatal version occurs in "Jiggles" when the cube absorbs Kowalski right after he hugs it, because he's been handling so much fruit to feed it. Cue My God, What Have I Done?, and then Julien does a little snarking. At the end of "Return of the Revenge of Dr. Blowhole (Blowhole Strikes Back)" Skipper uses the device Blowhole used to steal his memories at the beginning, then puts him in a habitat at the zoo where he jumps through flaming hoops as he did before. Dale in "Arch-Enemy" intends to use Private's "Mecha" against him after the latter "uses" it to stomp on him. Dale even lampshades about the irony. But Private corrects him that it's Kowalski's invention making Dale realizes that it is Kowalski who hurt him. With that misunderstanding cleared, Dale turns his wrath onto Kowalski who runs for his life when the snails fires everything upon him. In "Private and the Winky Factory", Skipper constantly pressures Private to prioritize the mission over his friends. When Skipper is in peril and begs Private for help, Private refuses to help and abandons him to procure the Winky bar box. | |

ToiletHumor | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_d442f9d1 | comment |
Toilet Humor: Subverted in "Two Feet High and Rising." The episode opens with some farting noises, but it turns out it's actually a helium tank inflating balloons. Played straight and subverted in "An Elephant Never Forgets." Early in the episode, Burt stinks up the zoo's restroom after eating a cabbage and broccoli burrito, but the result is never heard or seen. Later on, he pins down a human with his butt, but instead of gassing him, he just offers the human a kazoo that was lost several years ago. Lampshaded in "In the Line of Doody," where Private calls the pigeon's fate "poo-etic justice." Skipper is not amused, even calling Private out on his toilet humor. Literally in "The Big S.T.A.N.K." which is Kowalskis newest invention, which looks exactly like a giant toilet bowl. | |

Julien's double using him as a punching bag, to which he stated "Eh, I could live with that one". | |

The Penguins of Madagascar / int_dbfe8427 | comment |
Intercourse with You: In episode Mental Hen, Kowalski tries to distract the titular chicken with a mating dance. The two are birds and this is pretty much how many birds, including penguins, attract their mating partners. As for the song itself, it features lyrics like "You know that you can't handle the Kowalski" and Kowalski's dance is general is quite suggestive, as he constantly shakes his hips and behind right in front of the chicken and finishes it off by lying down and giving her "a look". Don't ask how they got away with that. | |

Ambiguously Gay: King Julien is this incarnate, complete with imaginary girlfriends. He also declared that he was given a diamond necklace by the Sky Spirits for "kicking up the fabulous, baby!" Complete with air-humping. Hans the Puffin really adores his rivalry with Skipper. He tried giving him a card of them embracing with hearts drawn on it. (Skipper was drawn much more scribbly than Hans though.) In a later episode where Skipper thinks his enemies are his friends, he treasures their connection even more and gets jealous when other characters step in. | |

Played straight and subverted in "An Elephant Never Forgets." Early in the episode, Burt stinks up the zoo's restroom after eating a cabbage and broccoli burrito, but the result is never heard or seen. Later on, he pins down a human with his butt, but instead of gassing him, he just offers the human a kazoo that was lost several years ago. | |

May It Never Happen Again: In "Truth Ache", the penguins decide to spy on their zoomates in an attempt to be Crazy-Prepared. However, this plot comes crashing down when Private accidentally consumes truth serum and reveals their plans to the other animals. After Private induces Laser-Guided Amnesia on his squad and the zoomates via a spray Kowalski had invented, he subsequently destroys the spy footage to avoid another incident like it. | |

Everyone, that is, except King Julien, who momentarily forgets who Mort is, then reassures them that "I too am gasping in horror, but on the inside." In the Red Squirrel episode Skipper, Kowalski and Rico keep gasping in horror at Rockgut's accusations, much to Private's frustration. | |

Flanderization: King Julien has become a bit more of an idiot and a Jerkass in comparison to the movies, but he still has his moments (such as saving Skipper's life in one episode). Kowalski and Rico didn't escape this either. Kowalski went from Skipper's right hand man to a super genius egomaniac. Rico went from puking up a paperclip, to being able to contain absolutely anything within his gut. In the movies and the series, the penguins have gone from secretly escaping from the zoo using spoons to coming and going as they please, and doing whatever the hell they like, though still trying to remain unnoticed. | |

Running Gag: Mort's foot fetish for Julien's feet, as well as his status as The Chew Toy. "Hooray! I'm expendable!" Skipper warning his men against certain circumstances by saying some variation of "Just ask Manfredi and Johnson. Except you can't, because they fell for [situation]. We had to [horrible description]." This might also be a shout out, since Manfredi and Johnson were the two guys machine gunned at the start of Stalag 17. Skipper's hatred of hippies. A character will do something destructive, such as cause an explosion, and a voice off camera screams, "My car!" The jokes had its variants over time, such as being shouted in a different language or someone yelling "SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR!" Once, the gorillas tossed Bert the elephant out of the zoo. He yelled "Some guy's car!" If a bag is needed for something, it will invariably say "trail mix" on it. Constant references to Hoboken being a Wretched Hive, and many one-shot villains being sent to the Hoboken Zoo at the end of the episode. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: After accidentally being zapped by the penguins's enhancement ray, Mort (a tiny mouse lemur) quadruples in size and strength, capable of bringing down animals larger than himself and many times taller than his bossy, but absent-minded ring-tailed lemur leader, King Julien. Julien's advisor, Maurice, takes note of this transformation immediately. In another episode, Maurice takes over as king while Julien is sick, becomes mad with power after eating rotten lychee nuts, and threatens to take over the entire zoo. After hearing about this, Julien's reaction is, "I cannot believe what I am hearing. Maurice ate my lychee nuts!" Julien, when mocking the rats who are playing against the penguins at hockey, sneers "You probably can't even get the ball into the hoopy-thingy!" Kowalski tells him it's called a "puck", to which Julien responds "Oh, thanks ... You probably can't even get the ball into the puck thingy!" | |

The Penguins of Madagascar / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Private sometimes shows elements of this, such as his reaction to The Reveal in "Mask of the Raccoon" or "Untouchable". Burt the elephant also qualifies, such as in "The Big Squeeze". | |

Instant Chucks: Rico makes some in "Whispers and Coups" by grabbing two of the chameleons by their tongues and swinging them around. In a later episode, Julien and Mort get used as some by a sleep walking ninja koala. | |

Brick Joke | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Done a lot; occasionally mixes with Continuity Nod. In the first episode, Kowalski is suggested to have a crush on a dolphin named Doris. About 70 episodes later, a sleep-talking Skipper mutters, "No, no Doris, Kowalski must never know ..." It's now become somewhat of a Running Gag, as she's been mentioned twice afterwards. During the official series premier episode, Skipper mentions that he can't set foot in Denmark. Again nearly 70 episodes later, we meet Hans, who was involved with Skipper in the Copenhagen Incident. "You're the reason Skipper can't go to Denmark?!" Most of the stuff Skipper's paranoid about is always brought up again. During the episode with a lemur robot, Skipper brings up "space squids". "I Know Why The Cage Bird Goes Insane" shows that Space Squids do exist. And they came to Earth for Kowalski's inventions. | |

Bigger on the Inside | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_fe1b2e75 | comment |
Bigger on the Inside: The penguin's HQ. Outside it just looks like a small penguin exhibit; but underneath is a main room where the penguins live that somehow has space for an elevator and elaborate security systems like lasers and giant spring panels. There's also a side room that is either the bathroom, food storage, Kolwalski's lab, or an extra security room (that leads to even more rooms) depending on the gag. | |

Four-Man Band | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_fe3bf3a4 | comment |
Four-Man Band: Too many roles are doubled up on for this to be a Five-Man Band - but the smaller comedy-based group dymanic works well. Skipper is the Only Sane Man. Of course, that doesn't mean he's normal; just that he's the basis for normal within the group. Kowalski is The Smart Guy. Rico is the Casanova Wannabe. The other penguins constantly comment on his perverted mind. Private is the Butt-Monkey who catches a lot of suffering for being the team's rookie. Gets parodied when King Julien builds his own Four Man Band in "Field Tripped". Since they are only three (Julien, Mort, Maurice) they got the needed smart guy from outside - which is...Fred. | |

Shown Their Work | |
The Penguins of Madagascar / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: Interviews state that they hired a consultant to make sure that all of Phil's sign language is accurate. They also go as far as to make sure that he makes the appropriate facial expression while signing. Roger has proper teeth configuration of a real alligator: only the upper teeth are visible when his mouth is closed. Parker the Platypus from "The Penguin Who Loved Me" is depicted with venomous spurs and even makes use of them. A lesser (but still notable for a cartoon) example is in "Paternal Egg-Stinct," where after Skipper says he feels that the incubation process of an egg isn't "manly" after Marlene asks them to babysit an egg she found in her habitat, even Kowalski points that the incubation process is technically a "guy thing" for penguins. Kowalski points out in "Badger Pride" that the two badgers who appear in that episode are "cousins" of Marlene, even going so far as to say that both are in the family mustelidae. In "Brain Drain", the fish that restore Kowalski's brain actually DO contain omega fatty acids, even the drawing is correct! The one-shot character dodo bird is depicted as a Fearless Fool who gets himself killed multiple times simply because he's not afraid of anything. This was Truth in Television (and even mentioned on the show), as part of the reason dodos went extinct is because there were next to no predators on their island, and therefore they evolved no defenses and were oblivious to how dangerous humans were when they first showed up. | |
