Line #26 CrossesTheLineTwice/Madagascar


1	The ''Madagascar'' film series has quite a lot of [[CrossesTheLineTwice offensive humor]]:
2
3	!!''WesternAnimation/Madagascar1''
4	* Nana beating up Alex viciously and spraying him [[EyeScream in the eyes]], before later kicking him [[GroinAttack in the groin]] at the Grand Central Station.
5	** When Melman struggles up the stairs while screaming "He's got him! He's got...!", she says "I've got something for you!" and smacks him in the ass with her handbag, making him collide head-first with a clock (and get his head stuck in said clock).
6	* The angry [[MeadowRun Beach Run]] in the first film, particularly Marty's "{{Oh\|Crap}}, [[FunWithAcronyms Sugar Honey Ice Tea]]!" line as he runs from Alex.
7	** Alex threatening to kill Marty, clone him, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs kill his clones]] and then [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking never talk to him again]].
8	* When Julien reassures Alex that there are people on the island, Alex is [[TemptingFate relieved]]... until this happens:
9	-->'''Julien:''' They're up there.\
10	(AnswerCut to a skeleton hanging from a tree)\
11	'''Julien:''' ''(nonchalantly, while the group looks horrified)'' Don't you love the people? Not a very lively bunch, though.\
12	'''Alex:''' ''(still unnerved)'' Oh, wow. So, do you have any ''live'' people?
13	* When the penguins return to Madagascar with the ship and Gloria asks where the humans are:
14	-->'''Skipper''': We killed them and ate their livers.\
15	(Gloria stares at him slack-jawed)\
16	'''Skipper''': Gotcha, didn't I?
17	* The scene where Marty, Melman and Gloria quickly guide a duckling to a nearby pond, as they saw two other small critters get eaten. They sigh with relief... only for it to be eaten by a large crocodile a second later. All three are visibly traumatized.
18	* A ravenous Alex chasing Marty isn't funny, but when it's played with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp-ICI-9gXs the old National Geographic theme]], it's hilarious.
19
20	!!''[[WesternAnimation/MadagascarEscape2Africa Escape 2 Africa]]''
21	* Alex vs. Nana. Alex punches old lady in the face: DudeNotFunny. [[WhenEldersAttack Old lady]] [[CurbStompBattle fights back]] and [[GroinAttack wounds his pride]] while a polka version of ''The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly'' plays: Hilarious. Poor [[ButtMonkey Alex]] just can't catch a break.
22	** Nana also gives Alex a "Titty Twister" during their fight, along with a couple of kicks [[GroinAttack "right in the batteries".]]
23	** And to add insult to injury, Gloria gets mad at Alex for harassing little old ladies when she started the fight.
24	* Also, King Julien in first class is very funny:
25	-->'''Julien:''' You, in-flight slave... ''(to Private, while hanging upside down from a chandelier)'' Bring me my nuts, on a silver platter.\
26	'''Julien:''' Excuse me, this is first class, it's nothing personal, it's just that we're better than you.\
27	'''Julien:''' Whatever happened to the separation of the classes?\
28	'''Maurice:''' I'm sure this whole democracy thing is just a fad!
29	** As well as that, look at the movie he's watching. It's crammed full of plane crashes, which he and Maurice are laughing at.
30	* Also, there's the crash scene with the penguins. All four of the penguins are calm, King Julien is having fun, and in stark contrast, Alex, Marty, Melman and Maurice are terrified out of their minds. Meanwhile, Gloria is ''asleep''.
31	-->'''Skipper:''' ''(with the plane in a death spiral)'' When it comes to air travel, we know that you have no choice whatsoever, but thanks again for choosing Air Penguin.
32	** Beforehand, Private explaining airline safety: "...place the mask over your face to hide your terrified expression from the other passengers."
33	* When stealing the All-Terrain-Vehicle for parts, the penguins are great:
34	-->'''Skipper:''' ''(to Kowalski)'' Reverse. ''(to Rico)'' Gas. ''(to Private)'' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Music]]. ''("[[Music/{{Boston}} More Than a Feeling]]" plays)''
35	** The method they use to steal it is also great, with Private [[PlayingPossum playing dead]] to distract the tourists (the driver is understandably [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrified]], while the others ''take pictures'') while the other penguins hijack it.
36	* In the beginning, the Zoosters are boarding the plane.
37	-->'''Alex:''' "Hey! If you're ever in Manhattan, please call, okay?!"\
38	'''Three Little Lemurs:''' pick each others noses and then [[NauseaFuel eat... well...]] [[NoseNuggets what comes out.]]\
39	'''Alex:''' look of pure disgust "Seriously, though...''call''."
40	* Alex’s mother turning off the lights in Alex’s room...by killing a lightning bug...with the same nonchalant motions of someone turning off a light switch.
41	* {{Invoked\|Trope}} when the penguins hit Nana with the tour bus and she goes flying with a "Boing!" sound effect. [[WordOfGod According to the DVD commentary]], that sound effect was added for comedy since people probably wouldn't find it funny otherwise.
42	** Immediately before that, the penguins ''throw her out of the bus'' when she wakes up to the music (keep in mind that she defeated Alex [[CurbStompBattle easily]], as mentioned above).
43	** Also, this, after she is thrown out:
44	-->'''Private''': Is she dead?
45	-->Nana sits up.
46	-->'''Skipper''': ''No''!
47	-->He tries running her over and sends her flying back.
48	-->'''Nana''': OI!
49
50	!!''[[WesternAnimation/Madagascar3EuropesMostWanted Europe's Most Wanted]]''
51	* [=DuBois=]' [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first scene]] involves her giving a speech to her subordinates about all the animals she's killed... in a heavy French accent, complete with over-the-top gun twirling and shooting a dart at the spot where a lion head is supposed to go.
52	* When it looks like Julien has not survived due to him being in the van when it fell off the hotel roof, everyone is grieving... except for Maurice, who starts to grin, only to look very unhappy when it turns out that Julien survived after all.
53	* During the pillow fight in the hotel, Skipper's horrified "Chimichanga! These pillows are filled with ''baby birds!''" line.
54	** To make it cross the line even more, look at Rico and Private with Skipper says this. Private (in a FreezeFrameBonus) looks utterly ''horrified''. Rico? [[ComedicSociopathy Is grinning without a care in the world as he looks at the feathers]].
55	* During the Rome disaster, one of the kids in the audience starts pelting an elephant with spitballs, causing the elephant to lose his balance and topple toward the kid [[AssShove butt-first]].
56	-->'''Skipper ([[PassThePopcorn while eating some popcorn]])''': Well, that was worth the price of admission.
