The Penguins of Madagascar/Ho Yay: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* In one scene in the episode "Tagged," Private tries to get the others to act like real penguins:

''(Rico grins)'' }}

* Just before it seems Skipper must groom Rico, Kowalski interrupts them and Skipper slaps Rico away and onto his back. Later in that same episode, when Private and Skipper are wrestling, we get this:

** As soon as Skipper hears this, he knocks Private off him in a hurry. This happens again, in another episode, where Private and Skipper are fighting over [[MacGuffin|Macguffium]]. Only this time, the commentary is from Julien:

* Mort's [[Yandere]]-like obsession with [[Ambiguously Gay|King Julien]], and King Julien's [[Foot Focus|feet]] in particular. After the [[It Makes Sense in Context|butt-scratching scene]] in "Field Tripped," the writers aren't even trying to keep Mort's obsession with Julien subtle at all.

* Also present between Mason and Phil, particularly Mason to Phil. "You ''dog''." Mason referred to Phil as his partner, too. Without any sort of business situation.

* In one episode, Julien returns to his habitat and greets the other two lemurs with "Honeys, I'm home!"

* There's a debatable amount of [[Foe Yay]] between Julien and Skipper.

'''Skipper''': Yeah! N-No!! }}

* Also between Skipper and Dr. Blowhole himself, quite possibly; at least, one-sided. This is kinda default for Nemeses, though. Dr. Blowhole mistook Julien for Skipper's BFF and kidnapped him. The fact that the [[Damsel in Distress]] usually hooks up with the hero makes this more [[Ho Yay]] and [[Foe Yay]]. Speaking of Julien being mistaken for Skipper's BFF, the other penguins tease him about Julien. Cue Skipper telling them that [[She's Not My Girlfriend|"He's not my BFF!"]] Julien kind of gets all over Dr. Blowhole, too. He gets out of his cage, doesn't try to escape the lair, rubs himself all over Blowhole's 'pleasant to the touch' skin and tells him he's got a proposal for him; "Not the marriage kind of proposal, uh, a different kind." (with a wink). Julien also doesn't mind doing things for him (like hefting the dolphin off the floor by himself), when normally he'd be outraged if anyone asked him to do anything. Blowhole doesn't mind, either, even smiling and warming up to Julien after he compliments his skin and makes him his partner. Of course {{spoiler|Julien was a double agent and everything}}, but still...

* Hans enjoyed heckling Skipper WAY too much... The card he made for him had hearts on it. And the whole "Palsy walsys" line didn't help. Plus, dude brought Skipper pastries. And we never ''did'' find out what happened in Denmark... Except that it happened in Copenhagen, involved fish, and Hans kissed [[My Sister Is Off-Limits|Skipper's sister]], who does not exist. (Worse, in the Spanish dub, Skipper points out that he has a ''brother'', not a sister.)

* How about we just agree that [[Even the Guys Want Him|everybody likes Skipper?]] Everyone seems to have the general consensus that Private's extremely cute as well (including Julien).

'''Kowalski:''' Oh, stop. You're always cute and cuddly and you know it. }}

* In ''The Lost Treasure of the Golden Squirrel'' Julien's deepest desire was {{spoiler|living with Maurice and Mort, which he was doing already}}. Aww... Shown again in "All King, No Kingdom", when Julien starts to [[Go Mad From the Isolation]] when Maurice and Mort leave him. Private seems to get the vibe as well:

* Julien's enthusiasm about being "pampered" in "Two Feet High and Rising":

* In "Go Fish", Julien actually kissed Mort, who was disturbingly happy about it. Julien then realized what he'd done and was horrified: "See, Mort? I am so happy I forgot for a second how disgusting you are!" Mort remained happy. And in "Lemur See, Lemur Do" ... well, does it count as Ho Yay if it's with a robot version of himself? Mort being ''jealous'' of the robot is a pretty obvious case, though. In "Paternal Egg-stinct", Julien was disgusted to find out where mammal babies come from, and then there's the time he demanded of Maurice "Scratch me here until the tinglies go away!" (He was referring to his armpit, but...)

* Julien to Maurice in ''Friend-in-a-Box'':

* Private's hero-worship of The Archer and his disappointment when finding out Archie's real [[Jerkass]] nature has hints. "Even your [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French|charming French accent]] was a lie!"

* In ''Driven the the Brink'', Skipper and Private get a newspaper blown in their face so that their heads poke through a picture with the headline "'''Just Married!'''" Interestingly though, ''Skipper'' was the bride. Same episode, Julien seems to ''let'' Mort cuddle his tail while they're in bed with Maurice.

** When everything goes back to normal a happy Kowalski holds Private up high and asks him to say something "naive but adorable".

* In "Operation Break-Speare", Kowalski blasts penguin mating calls at the lemurs, full volume, in order to combat their music. This doesn't work as intended...

* In "The Falcon and the Snow Job", there's an amusing scene where Skipper and Kitka exchange suggestive eyebrow gestures (well, whatever birds have for eyebrows). Rico takes it as a cue to do the same to Kowalski.
