** Alex threatens to clone Marty after killing him, and then kill all his clones. In the sequel, while Alex doesn't harm them, Marty encounters a herd of zebras, that are absolutely identical to him and have Marty's voice, which causes Alex to confuse Marty with other zebras.
** Melman was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally]] an okapi, but was changed to a giraffe for fear of audiences [[ViewersAreMorons not knowing what an okapi is]]. In 2013, in the Valentine's special ''Madly Madagascar'', an okapi character appears as Marty's love interest.

In the Croatian dub, he ''straight up'' says "shit" (the English word, not the translation) and mixes it with "šibam ja dalje" (roughly "I'm outta here") where the first word incorporates the English word, essentially creating a bilingual pun.
** In German they use "Himmel, Arm und Wolkenbruch (heaven, arm and cloudburts)", which everyone will be able to tell you is what adults turn "Himmel, Arsch (ass) und Wolkenbruch" into when kids are around. It's the same principal as "Scheibenkleister" and "Scheiße". You know "Schhhh...eibenkleister." "Sshhhh...eeesh."
** In one scene, King Julien refers to the zoo animals as the [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague New York Giants]]. Since American football is practically unknown in Hungary, in the Hungarian dub Julien calls them the "Gang of New York" instead, making it a ShoutOut to ''Film/GangsOfNewYork''.
