• The penguins reach Antarctica. "Well this sucks!"
• When Alex's signal beacon burns down:

Alex: You maniac! You burned it up! Darn you! Darn you all to heck!

• King Julien XIII supplies nearly ALL the moments of funny in the movies. The Penguins supply most of the rest.
• In the first movie, he uses a skeletal human arm as a sceptre. While he's waving it around during the argument on the crashed plane, it constantly makes the appropriate positions as if it were his own hand.
  • The same thing applies when he is once again on the plane in the second movie, sitting on a skeleton's lap. Once again the skeletal hand makes the same motions as his own.
• In the second movie, he is the first to suggest a volcanic sacrifice with a long and complicated argument with himself. Finally he finishes with:

Julien: Quickly! Before we all come to our senses! Other Julien lines include: Julien: (to Private, hanging from the light-fixture) You, in-flight slave... Bring me my nuts on a silver platter. Julien: If I, King Julien (that's my name), only had two days to live, I would do all the things I have ever dreamed of doing. I would love to become a professional whistler. I'm pretty amazing at it now, but I wanna get, like, even better. (Makes fart sounds, spits attempting to whistle) And you know what else I would do? I would invade a neighboring country and impose my own ideology on them, even if they didn't want it!

• • One has difficulty imagining anything Julien had ever dreamt of doing that he had not done.
• In the first movie the Penguins are called psychotic even by the other characters. They seem aware of this...

Gloria: Where are the people? Skipper: We killed 'em and ate their livers. (Beat while we see Gloria's look of horror. Skipper just grins) Gotcha, didn't I?

• In Madagascar 2, the launch, flight and crash of the 'plane' is a twenty-minute long moment of funny. Possibly because the penguins feature heavily in it.

"Place the bag over your face to hide your terrified expression from the other passengers."

• The entire "Pass it on" scene in the second movie.
• The scene with the spider in the first movie.
• I hear Tom Wolfe's speaking at Lincoln Center. [Phil signs frantically] Well, of course we're going to throw poo at him!
• In the first movie, the animals wash up on the titular country and are reunited. As Alex and Marty are reunited, in slow motion, there's this exchange:

Alex: Marty! Marty: Alex! Alex: Marty! Marty: Al! Alex: [grows angry] Marty! Marty: [grows concerned] Alex? Alex: [goes into full sprint, angry] Marty! Marty: [[[Oh Crap]] eyes, turns to run away] Oh, Sugar Honey Ice Tea!

• The TRAILER for the third movie has one. The scene cuts to the penguins and the chimps tearing up a hotel room. The penguins are having a pillowfight on the bed. Rico surprises Skipper and the pillow rips, releasing feathers everywhere. Skipper falls to his knees and cries out:

Skipper: Chimichanga! These pillows are filled with baby birds!

• • How can we forget the part where Marty is doing this whole singing/dancing rountine with afros, polka-dots, and circuses. Not to mention the look Alex is giving him just screams volumes.

Alex: Really?

• • • "YA DA YA DA DA DA DA DA CIRCUS YA DA YA DA DA DA DA DA AFRO CIRCUS AFRO CIRCUS AFRO POLKA DOT POLKA DOT AFRO!!"
  • Marty's song has already become a hit on Youtube thanks to its Ear Worm status.
  • The "I'm sexy and I know" it scene where King Julien is looking at that bear dreamy eyed, offers [her?] a fish and then gets eaten. After the bear takes him out, he proclaims "What a woman!"
• I can't believe no one mentioned the palm tree scene from the first movie! Anyways, Alex makes an S.O.S. sign called "HELP" made from palm trees. A little bit later, the loop in the P drops down until the message is spelled "HELL."
  • That might also count as a Getting Crap Past the Radar scene.
• This little exchange after Alex snaps:

Marty: Excuse me... You're biting my butt! (beat) Alex: No, I'm not.

• In the second movie, the fight between Alex and Nana (the old lady from the first movie), and towards the end of the second movie, the No-Holds-Barred Beatdown Nana gives Makunga when she sees him with her tote.
• Europe's Most Wanted: Everyone looks on in horror as their plane falls off a building with King Julien still inside... and a smile creeps onto Maurice's face.
• Marty's "Afro Circus" song may be annoying, but it's so ridiculous it just builds the laughter out of you.
