History Awesome / Madagascar

!!''Madagascar''

* Nana [[CurbStompBattle kicking Alex's ass]] at the Grand Central Station, which doubles as a SugarWiki/{{funny moment|s}}.
* Gloria effortlessly smashing through a brick wall in the group's zoo escape.
* The final battle with the Foosa in the first film.
* Alex's first real roar.
* "This is '''''my''''' kill!"
* Maurice manages to stop the feral Alex from catching Marty mid-lunge with a well-aimed coconut to the head. Even King Julian himself was impressed!
-->'''Julien:''' A bullseye! Excellent shot, Maurice! \\
'''Maurice:''' Thank you!

!!General
* About anything the penguins do!

* Maurice managed to stop the feral Alex from eating Marty with ''one'' well-aimed coconut to the head!

!!''Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa''
* In the second movie, round two between Alex and the old lady - This time he fights back.
** Though not very well... an old lady giving a full-grown male lion a tittie twister and [[GroinAttack a kick in the nuts]] has to be seen to be believed.
* The writers get one when the animals are searching for water, with these two incredibly clever lines that really put the important things in life into perspective:
-->'''Gloria:''' Any water?\\
'''Moto Moto:''' No, just more diamonds and gold.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZODL5zHg5a0 The "Alex on the Spot" scene.]] Just watch it.
* Alex tricking Makunga by giving him Nana's handbag, then unleashing the old lady to attack ''him''.

!!''Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted''
* From the third film, the entire [[spoiler: flying circus rescue, ending with Alex fulfilling his made-up Trapeze Americano act to dispatch [=DuBois=].]]
--->'''Alex:''' You just messed with the KING!!!!!
* The circus act they put on in London. It needs to be [[http://youtu.be/ku7rPXoLRvI seen to be believed]]. It especially works when you remember you likely saw the film expecting the Zoosters to screw it up and have the show end in disaster. Instead, you see Vitaly start cranking as KatyPerry's "Firework" builds to the song's chorus and as it does, you realize, "My God! ''They're pulling it off!''"
** Special mention goes to Vitaly's fiery hoop act done right, thanks to assistance from Alex's mane conditioner and [[ChekhovsSkill claw trick]], which afterward seems to make them friends for life. (Would that be [[JustForPun literal]] FireForgedFriends?) Not only is the act itself an awesome and badass HesBack moment... it's only the ''opening act''. And somehow, everything that follows is even ''more'' awesome.
*** One last mention to our HuskyRusskie, his awesomeness is able to defy the laws of physics. It's the whole basis of his act.
* "What does a human say when he's passionate? He says, 'I'm an animal'! Well we ARE ANIMALS!"
* Captain Chantal [=DuBois=] period.
* The penguins taking care of business when [=DuBois=] arrives in London to take Alex. All done in ''less than 20 seconds''!
-->'''Skipper:''' Incoming! ''(smacks [=DuBois=] in the face with a [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill 100 kilo sack]])''\\
''(she falls in the fully charged cannon; they tie her up with they already knocked-out guys)''\\
'''Skipper:''' ''(as Rico lights a match)'' Outgoing!\\
'''[=DuBois=]:''' Wait! ''(blam!)''
* And especially Alex's final confrontation with [=DuBois=], where he [[TookALevelInBadass stops being]] the ButtMonkey comic relief and gives her a glorious ShutUpHannibal, culminating with a nice HumiliationConga. "This is where animals like you belong!" indeed.
-->'''Alex''': Your days of chasing animals are over, [=DuBois=]. Because ''this'' time, you messed with the ''[[KingOfBeasts king]]''!
-->Sit, [=DuBois=]! [[ItMakesSenseInContext Lie down. Roll over]]... ''Good'', [=DuBois=]. Now ''stay''.
** Also the way he goes about it. He sees everything go into place, and immediately tells Jonesy and Frankie to get ready for when he gives the signal. Keep in mind that the dogs were the most reluctant to rescue the Zoosters, and Alex is putting his life in their hands. They comply.
* Vitaly freeing Marty from his cage by ''jumping through the keyhole''. He even manages to put his afro on Marty when he does it.
-->'''Marty''': I am impressed!
* Admit it; Frances [=McDormand's=] ([=DuBois=]) performance of "Non rien je ne regrette rien" is ''fantastic''.

* Vitaly freeing Marty from his cage by ''jumping through the keyhole''

* No matter what you say about her, DuBois' performance of "Non rien je ne regrette rien" is ''fantastic''.

* Skipper's line: "We've been ratted out here, boys"
