Go To

1* In the beginning of the movie, the penguins break into ''Fort Knox''. Not for the gold, but to get to ''one of the vending machines.'''
2* Everything Private does in the third act:
3** He utilizes the paperclip that he took from Rico and escapes being mutated by Dave.
4** He even gives Classified (and by extension, all of North Wind) a WhatTheHellHero speech when they decide to go back to their headquarters instead of immediately rescuing the penguins.
5--->'''Private:''' Wait! Skipper, Kowalski, Rico! All those penguins! They're this way!\
6'''Classified:''' So is a massive army of octopi, and as soon as we return to the North Wind Headquarters, grab fresh equipment, and work up a smashing new plan, we'll come speeding back [says dramatically] and take down Dave.\
7'''Private:''' But the penguins are in danger! We have to go now!\
8'''Classified:''' Again, ''huge'' army of octopi!\
9'''Private:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion So because you failed once, you're just running away?]]\
10'''Classified:''' [indignant] We did not fail and we are not running away! We're... just.. very sensibly regrouping.\
11'''Private:''' Skipper wouldn't care, plan or no, fancy equipment or no! He'd never leave a man behind!\
12'''Classified:''' Well, I suppose we can't all be penguins, can we?\
13[North Wind begins to walks away. Private looks downcast, but responds.]\
14'''Private:''' No...\
15[North Wind stops and looks back at Private]\
16'''Private:''' ... but maybe you should be. [walks away]
17** He becomes the antidote for saving the penguins by using his cuteness.
18** And when Dave breaks into the glass dome of the mutant-ray to get him, [[TalkToTheFist Private punches Dave in the face]]. [[ItMakesSenseInContext WITH HIS BUTT-HAND!]] [[TeethFlying And Dave also loses a tooth because of it.]]
19* The very beginning when the baby penguins sees Private's egg rolling. Skipper immediately races after it, even though the adults tell him to ignore it. From there the team faces a cliff, an army of leopard seals, and in the end blow up a ship! And keep in mind that they were ''babies'' when all this went down. To quote Kowalski.
20-->'''Baby!Kowalski''': We are really... awesome at this!
21* The [[BigDamnHeroes introduction]] of the North Wind. Unfortunately, that's about as cool as they get in the entire movie.
22* The Penguin's initial mission to capture Dave. It looks like another awesome success like all their previous missions until Dave escapes down a pipe.
23* The entire sequence starting from when the penguins find out that they were in a box headed to Madagascar to them landing in the desert with a bouncy castle. It's done in one "shot", and it's amazing.
24* Skipper shooting a Cheezy Dibble at the Medusa Serum remote! [[MassOhCrap Dave and his minions’ reactions says it all.]]
