Line 4: {{quote\|''"Cute and cuddly, boys!"''\|'''Skipper'''}} A spin-off of the ''[[Madagascar]]'' films ~~currently~~that ~~airing~~aired on [[Nickelodeon]] between 2008 and 2012. It is an [[All CGI Cartoon]] featuring the [[Everything's Better with Penguins\|penguins]] of the ''Madagascar'' film series (Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, Private), as well as the [[Everything's Better with Monkeys\|lemurs (King Julien, Maurice and Mort) and chimpanzees Mason and Phil]]. A new character, Marlene the otter, is placed in several episodes, and various other characters appear, while Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria from the films are not shown at all. Private, Kowalski, Maurice and King Julien have all had their voice actors [[Poor Man's Substitute\|replaced]] with some [[Hey, It's That Voice!\|names you might recognize just the same]]. In it, the titular 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. Line 153: * [[Cool Toy]]: "Hello Dollface" has the Chatty Ms. Perky, so popular that crowds snap up the inventory everywhere the penguins attempt to get one. * [[Counting Sheep]]: In "Two Feet High and Rising," Mort tries to do this but the sheep turn into King Julien's feet. * [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: [[Tara Strong]] voiced Eggy and at least one one-shot boy character. Of course, anyone familiar with more of her work would know [[The Fairly ~~Odd Parents~~OddParents\|this]] [[Ben 10\|isn't]] [[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends\|unusual]] [[Rugrats\|for]] [[All Grown Up!\|her.]] * [[Cucumber Facial]] * [[Cuteness Proximity]]: Line 177: In-universe example, when "Hard Boiled Eggy" flashes back to Julien's "Me and My JJ" song from "Paternal Egg-Stinct", Skipper invokes this trope by saying that said song will be in his head all day. Practically every song in the musical episode. * [[Eek! aA Mouse!]]: Played straight with Burt the Elephant in "April Fools". Occurred again in "Tied Up With a Boa". Line 303: '''Skipper''': I million zillion switched. '''Julien''': And I switched them to infinity! So you have to shut up a little bit. '''Skipper''': Ah, but what you didn't see coming is that... [reveals that he's really Julien] [[Mind Screw\|I am actually you]]!~~<br />~~ '''Julien''': Okay, nicely played. But if you are me, then by processing of elimination, [reveals that he's really Skipper] I must be you!~~<br />~~ '''Skipper who is really Julien''': Maybe, maybe. But if you are me, and I am you, then we must both be? }} * [[I Like Those Odds]]: "Roger Dodger" has: Line 319: * [[Insane Troll Logic]]: In the episode "The Red Squirrel", Buck Rockgut thinks that if any animal likes nuts, likes drawings of red squirrels, has a bushy tail, or reads a book with a red cover, they automatically work for the Red Squirrel. Private somewhat calls him out on the last one. {{quote\|'''Buck''': ''(to Phil and Mason)'' Read any good books lately? Read? Red...'''THE RED SQUIRREL!''' '''Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico''': ''([[GASP\|collective gasp]])''~~<br />~~ '''Private''': [[Lampshade Hanging\|That one dosen't even make sense!]] }} * [[Instrumental Theme Tune]]: An unusual variation: a brassy, detective-like theme for the penguins, and an upbeat dance section in the middle when the lemurs appear. * [[Insubstantial Ingredients]]: {{quote\|'''Julien''': That is a misfortune cookie. It's just like a regular fortune cookie, only it's full of [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking\|hate and bile and sugar]]. And evil!~~<br />~~ '''Private''': That doesn't sound very good, except for the sugar part.~~<br />~~ '''Julien''': You need the sugar. Otherwise, the bile will overwhelm the flavor. }} * [[Interspecies Romance]]: Line 383: * [[Never Say "Die"]]: Subverted. {{quote\|'''Kowalski:''' Were it not for our failure, Julien would be... sleeping with the hot dogs. ''[[Beat\|(the others stare)]]''~~<br />~~ '''Kowalski:''' ...dead. }} ** In another example, they lightly lampshade this trope but still play it straight: Line 476: * [[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 (music)\|Sting]] and a zoom-in on each word. {{quote\|'''Skipper''': The clock... is... ticking. '''Kowalski''': So were the dramatic pauses really necessary, then?
