History Funny / ThePenguinsofMadagascar

* Kowalski is attempting to decipher what BFF means. "Buffalo Fire Fighters." Oh my.
** "Baby Fat Flingers?"

* In "Hello, Dollface", Rico wants a voice chip for his doll, so Private gives him one from a unicorn doll that's supposed to parody little girl educational shows (it says stuff like "be true to yourself", "don't hurt others", etc.). After Rico gets angry at it, Julien tells him to listen to whatever the doll says. HilarityEnsues, culminating in Hippie!Rico beating up the others with Ms Perky.

** As Skipper beats up Julien, Maurice holds up signs with comic book sound effects on them, saying them out loud in a completely deadpan voice. [[RuleOfThree Three hits later]] when Julien gives up and says he's retiring, he holds up a sign of an old man and says "Retirement".

** Also, MY CART![[note]] All said by pretzel, snow cone and hot dog stand men in "I Know the Caged Bird Goes Insane". [[/note]]

** Julien: [[OhCrap "WHAT!?]] NO! Never on a Fun-day! Seriously. [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!]]

** From the same episode, contrast the penguins and the lemurs methods of getting the popcorn. The lemurs sit on top of them like their popcorn eggs, and the penguins interrogate a kernel.

** At the end of the episode , we have this exchange;

--> '''Man:''' Maybe the Polar Bear's got some new material...
--> '''Kowalski:''' The Polar Bear? ''*pft*'' Sure he's the biggest carnivore on land, but can he do ''this?!''
--> ''(Boogie music starts to play from nowhere, and Kowalski starts boogeying. Skipper looks exasperated, like he's seen it a dozen times before, while Rico looks mildly nauseated and horrified at the sight)''
** Kowalski is trying to be ''cool.'' Instead he dances like your least cool uncle. On top of everything he moves to slap his own buttocks, but Skipper catches his flipper just in time.

** Also MY CART![[note]] All said by pretzel, snow cone and hot dog stand men in "I Know the Caged Bird Goes Insane". [[/note]]

-->'''Skipper:''' They surprised us the first time, took away our greatest weapons: stealth and superior tactics! Well that ain't gonna happen twice.

** Also another one where they're trying to get the titular herring.

* The entirety of "I Was A Penguin Zombie." Notable examples:

---> '''Kowalski:''' ''(while he, Rico, and Private hide from Skipper in a dark enclosure)'' Okay, based on what I know about zombies, [[TemptingFate the safest place to hide is in a small dark room with creepy light]]. ''(Skipper smacks himself against the window and Private, Kowalski and Rico scream)'' '''EVERYTHING I'VE LEARNED IS A LIE!''' ''(Kowalski, Private, and Rico run away and Skipper slides down the window)''

--> '''Maurice:''' "Gonna eat my banana. Hope no one '''TAKES IT!'''"

* The scene in the penguins' quarters in "The Big Move" after the lemurs and all the small animals have left. Skipper is perfectly happy to be left in peace. I just love Skipper's stubbornness in that scene, the build up to WeWantOurJerkBack, and Kowalski's expression when Skipper talks into his ear.

* In "Snowmageddon", Kowalski suffering from cabin fever after being snowed in at Fred's gets into a large rant when Fred bugs him about he was close to figuring out how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. After Fred shows him the way out, he drops this gem:

** This has nothing to do with the scene at hand and is dissmissed. But later when everyone is panicking, [[BrickJoke he's]] [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment suddenly riding a sandwich behaving like a horse just like he said.]] No one acknowledges this for the rest of the episode, not even Mort.

-->'''Skipper''': I've rotted away in gulags. Work camps, penal colonies in every dirty, flea-bitten corner of creation. But I promised myself that I would NEVER end up in Hoboken. ''At least not alive!!'' I ''WILL'' PECK OUT MY OWN EYEBALLS!! I SWEAR TO YOU!!

** Compare Private and then Skipper's questions about the future. Skipper's ideal future is especially freakish.

--> '''Skipper:''' Tell me, does the Earth become a post-apocalyptic wasteland terrorized by roaming bands of irradiated mutants?

-->'''Kowalski (while sounding like a little girl):''' FIRE EVERYTHING!!!

-->'''Kowalski:''' *concentrates* "Eggs ... are ... egg-shaped! That's funny!"

--> '''Kowalski:''' ''[walks by with a plunger stuck to his face]'' Can't hear you! Toilet stick on face!

'''Skipper:''' [[{{Angrish}} YAAAGGH SAZZA BAZZITS, GIGJE GEJJEWAG]], BOUILLABAISSE!

** This has nothing to do with the scene at hand and is dissmissed. But later when everyone is panicking, [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment he's suddenly riding a sandwich just like he said.]] No one acknowledges this, not even Mort.

* "The Red Squirrel": The penguins meet their idol, special agent Buck Rockgut (voiced by Creator/ClancyBrown using the same voice he uses for [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Mr. Krabs]]), hiding in a secret bunker in an unspecified location. In the 47 years he's waited for his arch-nemesis, the Red Squirrel, to re-emerge, he's devolved into a level of paranoia dwarfing that of Skipper. In his mad search for the squirrel, he begins incarcerating the penguins' fellow zoo animals (targeting Burt for liking nuts, Marlene for discovering a picture of a red squirrel, and Mason and Phil for [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking having]] [[IncrediblyLamePun read]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a book]]). The RunningGag of Buck saying, "You know who else likes (insert interest here)? ''[[SayMyName THE RED]] [[LargeHam SQUIRREL!]]''", followed by the Penguins dramatically reacting with shock, never gets old.

** Private eventually has enough of the insanity, and has Fred wear an eyepatch, similarly to the evil animal

* '''Maurice:''' "Gonna eat my banana. Hope no one '''TAKES IT!'''"

* '''Kowalski:''' I like peanuts and I like butter, but I do not like peanut butter. ''(close up to camera)'' '''''WEIRD!'''''

---> '''Skipper''': I haven't the '''faintest.'''

* When the team is attempting to distract a scientist at the zoo:
'''Private''': But all we know is the 'smile and wave routine! What else do penguins do?
'''Skipper''': I haven't the '''faintest.'''

'''Rico:''' ''(spits up a running chainsaw and [[EvilLaugh laughs evilly]])''
**
---> '''Private:''' "Oh Rico, [[YourAnswerToEverything chainsaw's your answer to everything!]]

* "Herring Impaired", where [[AxCrazy RICO]], of all people, is the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Penguin]] of the group, when the other penguins have succumbed to Bacterial Pisces Dementia.

---> '''Kowalski:''' No mercy this time, boys! Rico, see if you can shut off your conscience and sense of decency.
---> '''Rico:''' ''(spits up a running chainsaw and [[EvilLaugh laughs evilly]])''

** The "hot snoozles" they attempt to make in the same episode, a snack made by causing three food carts to smash into each other.

'''Skipper''': Way to undersell the irony, Private.

* In the episode when the team gets obsessed with comic books, Kowalksi makes sure Skipper won't wake up by placing a "Mr. Snoozytime Fighty Night-Night Mobile" (a baby mobile [[FreezeFrameBonus with a hippie, Dr. Blowhole, and Hans]]) above him. Skipper rolls over, grabs and snuggles with the Hans...to punch it a good five seconds later.

'''Skipper''': ...Kowalski?
'''Kowalski''': What, Skipper?
'''Skipper''': Bouncing...
'''Kowalski''': (in pure awe, as this result was unexpected) Yes, he ''is!''
