The Penguins of Madagascar/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Bi the Way]]: He dated a female dolphin once, but in "Pet Peeved" he shouts out "I love you" to Skipper when he is taken away.

* [[Cannot Tell a Joke]]:

'''Kowalski''': Private, can you recall a time when I have ever played a trick or even told a joke? }}

** He ''has'' attempted to tell jokes since that episode... but they tend to fall flat.

* [[The Lancer]]

* [[Mad Scientist]]: A more low-key version, but still as mad as it can get.

'''Kowalski''': Let me think. Uhhhhh... No. }}

* [[Magic Versus Science]]: Is extremely skeptical of anything with a 'supernatural' bent. ''Can'', however, be convinced of its veracity if the problem persists long enough.

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]/[[Bi the Way]]: He likes to dance; he's obsessed with his own booty; he gives bedroom eyes; he's [[Cross Dresser|dressed in drag on occasion]] (though that may be even less significant to his actual sexuality than in [[Real Life]] crossdressers, as he normally wears nothing but his crown); despite his attempts at maintaining a ladies' man image, he was unfamiliar enough with females that he didn't know where mammal babies come from, and was disgusted to find out the truth (though that may just be simple [[Cloudcuckoolander]] status); and one episode blatantly ships him with Rico. Oh yeah, and he even said that he has a [[Girlfriend in Canada]]. On the other hand, he "courted" Marlene twice and has hit on Rico's Ms Perky doll. [[Wild Mass Guessing]] has also pegged him as Ambiguously [[Transsexual]], thanks to the [[Animal Gender Bender]] mentioned below.

** Taken to its limits with Julien in "It's About Time," when he sees Skipper and Private wrestling over the episode's [[MacGuffin]] and begins poking Maurice.

* [[Animal Gender Bender]]: [[Real Life]] lemur groups are ruled by females. Then again, now he's in a zoo with only two other lemurs, both of which are male, and he's probably the nearest thing they've got. Also, when he claims Eggy is his, Kowalski says mammals can't lay eggs and asks if he's part platypus, without mentioning that males don't lay eggs either. (Then again, see above.)

* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type IV or Type V]]. The closest thing the show has to a recurring antagonist - but he also repeatedly helps out the penguins when it benefits him.

* [[Flanderization]]: A bit more of a [[Jerkass]] than in the movies, but he still has his moments (such as saving {{spoiler|Skipper's}} life in one episode). His dialect is also noticeably stronger.

* [[Friendly Enemy]]: To Skipper. The two spend most of their shared screentime arguing and generally being annoyed by each other, but Skipper will go out of his way to help Julien, and Julien has gone to Skipper to have his problems fixed. They were actually mistaken as 'BFF's by Skipper's [[Arch Nemesis]] Dr. Blowhole... and the other penguins said he had a point.

'''Skipper''': Eehh... we'll keep that code on the QT. }}

* [[Incidental Villain]]: 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.

* [[Disability Superpower]]: In "Sting Operation", it's revealed that he's literally too stupid to feel pain.

* [[The Ditz]]:

* [[Fearless Fool]]: See above.

* [[Feel No Pain]]: Also see above.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: [[Word of God]] is that he's actually the lemur equivalent of a thirty-five-year-old. Mouse lemurs simply [http://www.google.co.uk/images?rlz=1T4ACAW_enGB342GB344&q=mouse+lemur&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1345&bih=481 look like babies their whole lives].

* [[Paste Eater]]:

"NO!" }}

* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]

* [[Cool Shades]]

* [[No Name Given]]:

'''Agent X''': Mother never told me my real name. Said it was [[Classified Information|classified]]. }}

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: His exterminator uniform is pink.

* [[Affably Evil]]: His first episode revolves around him trying to make peace with {{spoiler|Skipper, but it turns out to be an act.}}

* [[My Sister Is Off-Limits]]: Attempted to [[Invoked Trope|Invoke]] this, [[Epic Fail|but]]:

'''Hans''': ...Oh. Then who ''did'' I kiss?
