** Depending on how you see him, Dave can be a TragicVillain, a case of EvilIsPetty, or perhaps even both.
** Classified's interactions with the penguins are reminiscent of an adult trying to get his children under control.

* NightmareFuel: Despite (or maybe even because of) the fact that he's so LaughablyEvil, Dave can be extremely creepy at times:
** Perhaps the scariest line in the film:
--> '''Dave:''' Yes! ''I'm'' the monster! Everyone made that clear to me every single day of my life. But now we'll see how they like you when ''you're'' the monster!
** As if the line alone wasn't scary enough, he says it to a group of penguins that he has trapped in a cage, and at one point, he squishes his face through the bars so that his eyes pop out. If you've seen ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', remember [[spoiler: Judge Doom's real eyes]]? That's what it looks like.
** Even his submarine is creepy. It's designed to look like a giant octopus with a big SlasherSmile. One wonders if SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker helped him build it.
** And then there's a scene in the climax where he smashes through the glass of [[spoiler: his Medusa Ray]] in slow motion, with his tentacles flailing, and doing an EvilLaugh. The camera angle makes it look like [[JumpScare he's lunging at]] ''[[JumpScare you]]''.

Added DiffLines:

* CrackPairing: Corporal/Classified is probably the strangest shipping you will ever find in the Madagascar fandom. Which is even weirder when you realize [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10883298/1/Say-Cheese it kinda works]]... arguably, of course. Especially considering Classified clinging onto Corporal as they're forced to go through Dave's death trap and their dynamic. [[note]]Classified is the workaholic leader while Corporal is the laid-back sweetheart.[[/note]]

* BaseBreaker: Agent Classified is arguably the most popular member of the North Wind for being a smooth and confident ''wolf'' agent (plus it doesn't hurt that his voice actor is Creator/BenedictCumberbatch), but there are also those who thinks he's just a {{Jerkass}} (like how he just HAD to rub it in that [[spoiler: Private was captured.]]

* BrokenAesop: The "looks don't matter" Aesop is a bit broken, first by the fact that Private's deformities aren't nearly as bad as they could have been - unlike the mutations of the other penguins, he still looks quite a bit like himself - and then again during TheStinger, when the penguins go to the trouble of changing him back.

* TheWoobie: [[DudeWheresMyRespect Private]]. For what we know, his family lost his egg and didn't attempted to look for it. And that's just beginning! He was totally unappreciated by other members of team, then he was captured by [[BigBad Dave]] and had to watch his adoptive brothers [[spoiler: getting mutated into monsters.]] Combine this with his NiceGuy personality and [[TheCutie cuteness]] and you got A-Grade woobie

* HilariousInHindsight: Long before this movie, Benedict Cumberbatch narrated a documentary in which he had trouble [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GnLDJAgrws pronouncing]] the word "penguin" as he does in this film (he pronounces the word as "penguing" especially when he has to rattle of lines rapid fire).
