[[WMG: Dr Blowhole will assemble every villain the penguins have ever faced into a FiveBadBand]]
Savio and Hans have become recurring villains, so the CoDragons, as well as TheBrute of this FiveBadBand are already set, Clemson can be TheEvilGenius, given his proficiency at being a ManipulativeBastard and, despite the fact she isn't a villain, Lulu can be TheDarkChick and SixthRangerTraitor, realizing that being involved with Dr Blowhole is not a good idea, she has a HeelFaceTurn and helps the penguins stop him.

[[WMG: Rico swallowed a primitive [[Series/DoctorWho TARDIS]] at some point]]
The simple explanation for how Rico can eat so much stuff, produce whatever he wants despite most of it being noticeably bigger than him, and yet still weigh the same as every other penguin? At some point when he was young he 'ate' a prototype TARDIS that had turned into something small through its chameleon circuit, with the result that everything he eats actually goes into the TARDIS rather than Rico's stomach, and he's spent so long with it inside him that he's developed a link to its telepathic circuits and can thus control what he expels.

[[WMG: Julien is a {{Transsexual}}]]
Specifically of the Female-to-Male variety. The other lemurs in the movies would obviously do whatever he told them to, which would include treating him like a King rather than a Queen. In the series, the other zoo animals allow him to pretend to still be an authority figure because he would otherwise have no way to maintain his desired gender identity and they are all nice like that.

* Alternately, for those who buy into the Julien-is-a-{{Transsexual}} theory, perhaps he was supposed to marry a male lemur (assuming the lemurs let Julien get away with claiming to be male only because they still consider him to be a "her" and thus queen). The sheer amount of [[{{Squick}} squickiness]] he'd get from that idea might be enough to keep him from trying to get home, even though presumably he'd still be the one in power.

He can lip-read, but that's why he can't speak properly. And he disobeys orders sometimes just because he doesn't always hear the full order.

* Rico... well, this is quite obvious. He can't talk, he is the least intelligent member of the team, has an extreme fondness for things that other penguins find weird or even nightmarish and gets angry easily. Not to mention, other three penguins tend to be very forgiving when it comes to his agressive or unhinged behavior because they know it's just part of him and they can't change it and in ''Kaboom and Kabust'', they become extremely worried when Julien starts allowing him to go loose with his love for explosions.

[[WMG: Kowalski and Rico are both disadvanted but in different ways]]
I'll leave it up to you HOW, but let's look at the two:
* Kowalski is socially awkward, obsessed with science, doesn't realize that his teammates are often bored by his talks about science, is happiest when he can just experiment and focus on his projects, is very intelligent but still can't read, is implied to be second worst member when it comes to physical activity and is prone to having freak outs.

[[WMG: Fred's never-seen grandmother is the Red Squirrel.]]
All we know about Fred's grandmother is that she is ''not'' the crazy old squirrel hag in "The Lost Treasure of the Golden Squirrel". Rockgut described the Squirrel as "he", but considering both Rockgut's sanity level and the number of other characters on the show who could potentially be of a different biological sex than they present as (see above) ...

* It takes place after the fourth movie, when Rico finally has his mohawk and a safe supply source for all the weaponry that he chokes up. That's why he gained so much weight. The Penguins are members of the North Wind, and their Eastern Seaboard branch, monitoring threats like Dr Blowhole.

[[WMG: The series is now related to the movie Canon]]
One of the tags of the movie Movie/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar is "How the Penguins became agents" or something. The penguins became members of the North Wind and now they're agents in New York. The zoo was remodelled once Alex and co were gone which is why they're the central exhibit. Rico also choked up larger objects in the Penguin movie in keeping with his series character. This also gives him a supply source for everything he chokes up.

A really incompetent one.

A really incompetent one. All his efforts to be a good undercover agent for his boss result in him unintentionally ''assisting'' the Penguins. And he may dislike how Red treats him and be BecomingTheMask after so many years of playing a good guy, finding it really peaceful in contrast the high tension of life under Red.

* If he was related or married to a high-ranking lemur but wasn't expected to actually wield power himself, that might explain why he's as spoilt and irresponsible as he is. It's possible that once he got the power, he wasn't sure what to do with it and went a bit off the rails.

rails. Seems quite plausible since [[AnimalGenderBender lemurs in real life are led by females]]. Possibly not Jossed by the appearance of Julien's uncle, the previous king; the ruler before ''him'' could have been his wife/mother/sister, since it is noted the rest of their family were [[ReleasedToElsewhere sent to live on a farm]].
