**When you see Skipper sink into the ocean after his memory is erased, you see him pass out rather quickly. You start to drown when you start breathing in water, which happens after you pass out.

Sadly, very... "cynical", people (including the aforementioned people condemning Japan) may consider this as HilariousInHindsight.

** The episode "Right-Hand Man" features the new arrival Clemson effectively seducing his way into Julien's good graces, including rubbing his back, scratching his butt, allowing Julien to use him as a footstool, and actually being allowed to touch Julien's feet.
** In "All Tied Up With a Boa", Kowalski readily says that Skipper's "musk" is "intoxicating" (though this was said after misunderstanding the order to "butter up" Skipper).
** Arguably, the three other penguins for Skipper; the line between it and their general admiration for him is thin. Like the episode where Skipper "died" and Rico hacked up a framed photo of Skipper to "Why? WHY?!?" over. Or Private trying to get Kowalski and Rico to smack him the way Skipper does, "Like you're disappointed, but you still care." Or Kowalski's D= whenever Skipper chastises him/skips Kowalski as The Idea Guy.
** It works in reverse too. In "Needle Point," Skipper performs a seductive dance in a desperate attempt to [[DistractedByTheSexy distract]] the other three penguins and therefore not get his shot.
** Mort's {{Yandere}}-like obsession with [[AmbiguouslyGay King Julien]], and King Julien's [[FootFocus feet]] in particular. After the [[ItMakesSenseInContext butt-scratching scene]] in "Field Tripped," the writers aren't even trying to keep Mort's obsession with Julien subtle at all.
** Also present between Mason and Phil, particularly Mason to Phil. "You ''dog''."
** Mason referred to Phil as his partner, too. Without any sort of business situation.
** In one scene in the episode "Tagged," Private tries to get the others to act like real penguins:
-->'''Skipper''': (''beak-to-beak with Rico, clearly uncomfortable'') Is this... really necessary?
-->'''Private''': (''to Skipper'') ...You preen Rico first, then he'll do you!
-->(''Rico grins'')
** Just before it seems Skipper must groom Rico, Kowalski interrupts them and Skipper slaps Rico away and onto his back.
** Later in that same episode, when Rico and Skipper are wrestling, we get this:
--->'''Scientist''': Male penguins now exhibiting bizarre mating dance ritual.
** As soon as Skipper hears that, he knocks Rico off him in a hurry.
** This happens again, in another episode, where Private and Skipper are fighting over [[MacGuffin Macguffium]]. Only this time, the commentary is from Julien:
---> '''Julien''': Aw look at them Maurice. Why can't we play affectionately like that?
** "Kaboom and Kabust" was markedly un-subtle in creating a Rico/Julien pairing, with both parties being very touchy-feely toward the other. There's also this line of dialogue from Julien: "You know, I could think of a many other things that could use a good... [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar kabooming]]... IfYouKnowWhatIMean." Looks like the writers aren't even ''trying'' to be subtle anymore.
*** They held hands as they frolicked through the park, and ate a snowcone together.
*** Julien and Rico hug.
*** Julien gets Rico's name right.
*** Mort squeezes himself in between their hug.
*** Rico glomps Julien when the other penguins try to take him away.
*** At the end of the episode, Julien and Maurice walk off arm-in-arm.
** Most shippers put this pairing down to Rico being psychotic, not too bright and in love with all the kaboom, and Julien just being crazy and BiTheWay.
** Rico might have gone permanently gay. His Miss Perky doll hasn't been seen since midway through season 1. He also seems to have the most AmbiguouslyGay moments, partly because it's funny to have a guy obsessed with explosives be gay, because many people associate homosexuality with femininity.
** In one episode, Julien returns to his habitat and greets the other two lemurs with "Honeys, I'm home!"
** In "Truth Ache", Skipper tells Kowalski to wring the tenderness right out of Private. Kowalski agrees a little TOO quickly...
** There's a debatable amount of FoeYay between Julien and Skipper.
-->'''Skipper''': And by the time this is over, I'll have four sweet, sweet words for you.
-->'''Julien''': Ohhh, "I love King Julien"?
-->'''Skipper''': Yeah! N-No!!
** Also between Skipper and Dr. Blowhole himself, quite possibly; at least, one-sided. This is kinda default for Nemeses, though.
** Dr. Blowhole mistook Julien for Skipper's BFF and kidnapped him. The fact that the DamselInDistress usually hooks up with the hero makes this more HoYay and FoeYay.
** Speaking of Julien being mistaken for Skipper's BFF, the other penguins tease him about Julien. Cue Skipper telling them that [[ShesNotMyGirlfriend "He's not my BFF!"]]
** Julien kind of gets all over Dr. Blowhole, too. He gets out of his cage, doesn't try to escape the lair, rubs himself all over Blowhole's 'pleasant to the touch' skin and tells him he's got a proposal for him; "Not the marriage kind of proposal, uh, a different kind." [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean (with a wink)]]. Julien also doesn't mind doing things for him (like hefting the dolphin off the floor by himself), when normally he'd be outraged if anyone asked him to do anything. Blowhole doesn't mind, either, even smiling and warming up to Julien after he compliments his skin and makes him his partner. Of course [[spoiler: Julien was a double agent and everything]], but still...
** Hans enjoyed heckling Skipper WAY too much... The card he made for him had hearts on it. And the whole "Palsy walsys" line didn't help. Plus, dude brought Skipper pastries. And we never ''did'' find out what happened in Denmark... Except that it happened in Copenhagen, involved fish, and Hans kissed [[MySisterIsOffLimits Skipper's sister]], who does not exist.
** How about we just agree that [[EvenTheGuysWantHim everybody likes Skipper?]] Everyone seems to have the general consensus that Private's extremely cute as well.
--> '''Private:''' "Sorry Skipper; I'm not feeling very cute ''or'' cuddly today."
--> '''Kowalski:''' "Oh, stop. You're always cute and cuddly and you know it."
** Julien has referred to Private as "the cute one".
** Maurice's "deepest secret" in ''The Lost Treasure of the Golden Squirrel''? Having an "army of Julien Man-Servants" groom him and feed him grapes.
** Plus Julien's deepest desire was [[spoiler: living with Maurice and Mort, which he was doing already]]. Aww... Shown again in "All King, No Kingdom", when Julien starts to GoMadFromTheIsolation when Maurice and Mort leave him. Private seems to get the vibe as well:
-->"He needs you, Maurice. More than you ever knew."
** In "Go Fish", Julien actually kissed Mort, who was disturbingly happy about it. Julien then realized what he'd done and was horrified: "See, Mort? I am so happy I forgot for a second how disgusting you are!" Mort remained happy. And in "Lemur See, Lemur Do" ... well, does it count as Ho Yay if it's with a robot version of himself? Mort being ''jealous'' of the robot is a pretty obvious case, though. In "Paternal Egg-stinct", Julien was disgusted to find out where mammal babies come from, and then there's the time he demanded of Maurice "Scratch me here until the tinglies go away!" (He was referring to his armpit, but...)
** Julien to Maurice in ''Friend-in-a-Box'':
--> "Uhh, say, Maurice...have you ever noticed my...southern extremities?" ''(eyebrow wiggle)''
** Private's hero-worship of The Archer and his disappointment when finding out Archie's real JerkAss nature has hints. "Even your [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench charming French accent]] was a lie!"
** Probably more a case of AccidentalInnuendo, but it's not impossible the writers know the term and worked it in; a wildcat known as the Red Rhodesian ''[[SlashFic Slasher]]?''
** In ''Driven the the Brink'', Skipper and Private get a newspaper blown in their face so that their heads poke through a picture with the headline "'''Just Married!'''" Interestingly though, ''Skipper'' was the bride.
** Same episode, Julien seems to ''let'' Mort cuddle his tail while they're in bed with Maurice.
** Skipper was going to leave Leonard the koala in the middle of the city asking "What's the downside to leaving him again?" until he realized the downside was that that would make Private sad.
** In ''The Big Squeeze'', Kowalski [[ThermometerGag rectally measured Julien's temperature with no warning]]. Julien's expression was as if he'd been raped or something.
** ''Can't Touch This'' has Mort saying "See? King Julien loves meee..!" when Julien doesn't want the penguins to borrow him...but then he promptly shoves Mort over to them saying they should keep him forever instead. Mort doesn't care and persists, saying "That was a ''love'' shove." Also, in ''Sting Operation'', Mort wants to get the "bees'" honey because "I need it for King Julien to love me!"
** The episode "Right-Hand Man" features the new arrival Clemson effectively seducing his way into Julien's good graces, including rubbing his back, scratching his butt, allowing Julien to use him as a footstool, and actually being allowed to touch Julien's feet.
** In "All Tied Up With a Boa", Kowalski readily says that Skipper's "musk" is "intoxicating" (though this was said after misunderstanding the order to "butter up" Skipper).

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: It's a little hard to laugh without feeling some discomfort when watching "Dr. Blowhole's Revenge" for those who: 1) have watched TheCove, 2) know why Ric O'Barry made that documentary (he realized how cruel dolphin training was to dolphins), 3) got involved in the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami (i.e.,flooding) in Japan (which was caused by the Pacific "Ring of Fire"), and 4) defended the Japanese from those viewers of the TheCove who have stereotyped all Japanese as dolphin-killers and have declared the disaster as payback (i.e.,revenge) for the cruelty done to the dolphins. Sadly, very... [[{{Understatement}} "cynical",]] people (including the aforementioned people condemning Japan) may consider this as HilariousInHindsight.

At the end, the egg hatches under the penguins' watch and they reluctantly give it back to the mother duck before breaking down and crying. Private then asks if the duckling will ever remember the penguins; cut to the duck habitat where the duck says, "Cute and cuddly, boys!"
