• 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.
