WAIT... Remember The Penguins of Madagascar? 

Thanks so much for watching! I would love to know your thoughts on The Penguins of Madagascar series! Also, thanks for a wonderful 2022, I am extremely grateful for your support. I hope you all have a Happy New Year! See you in 2023!

Honestly, I remember The Penguins of Madagascar series more than I remember the original Madagascar movie. Rico and King Julian 100% stand out as top tier characters in the Madagascar universe.

one of my favorite quote from this show is "a friend is just a enemy who hasn't attacked yet"

I used to be obsessed with this cartoon as a kid. This show was great! What a perfect video to end the year

A Penguins of Madagascar movie with an animation style similar to "The Bad Guys" or "Puss in Boots 2" would be AWESOME, especially with the James Bond style action scenes.

These guys had such a good sibling relationship they care about eachother so much and always do so much in synchronization, It's so satisfying to see them do even the simplest of things.

Fun fact: TPOM was an absolute hit in my country (Poland) due to some amazing dialouge translations and popular voice actors (kind of like in case of Shrek). In fact, we’re talking about this show till this day!

Dude this show was on all the time when I was a kid, I will never get tired of Skipper saying “Kowalski analysis” 😂

"I can't set foot in Denmark" Skipper is definitely my favorite. His non chalant way of talking is gold

God I love this tv show so much, you do not get it. Im from Poland and this series is ICONIC here. They got some of the best translators and voice actors for the dub and it payed off so hard. You could quote it in a busy area and i can assure you, someone would quote back. I am pretty sure that it was my first hyperfixation and i still watch it regularly. My dream is to do like a 5 hour long (pun intended) analysis of the show because i have just too much knowledge of this show. Glad people are starting to talk about it

This ended up being like the _Timon & Pumba_ series for me. A series built around popular comedic support characters for a film that actually turned out really good and I enjoyed it immensely, and still do. Also, my favorite is Skipper. He was just the right blend of commanding competence with blowhard tendencies that still had excellent comedic timing.

I’m glad they decided to turn the best part of Madagascar movies into a spin-off series

To me, this show was WAY more memorable than the movie. Such an underrated and hilarious gem. Honestly one of the best Nickelodeon cartoons to come out in recent memory.

I'd love to see the penguins come back. I enjoyed the show and it's super rare for side characters to have both a show and movie of their own that are actually entertaining. Whether they're just off doing their own thing or interacting with other characters they seem to work really well no matter the setting. Both the team that worked on them for the show and the team that worked on them for the movies did a really good job in making their personalities just right and fine tuning them into the memorable characters we know. Hopefully Dreamworks has more in store for them.

This is genuinely one of the best shows ever. I used to watch the penguins A LOT as a kid, and still rewatch them from time to time. It’s great people are bringing awareness to this show.

I’m still obsessed with this cartoon. It’s become one of my favorites. When ever life gets hard, I watch a few episodes of these and they always make me laugh.

Definitely a great show and the fact that it ran from 2008-2015 still surprises me to this day. I can fairly say that it had a decent run. Do Kung Fu Panda; Legends Of Awesomeness tv series soon please🙏🏾

I really liked this one. Back when it was only the Madagascar movie, I grew fond of them when they were in a Christmas short film that was in the bonus extras of the Madagascar DVD. I remember re-watching that short so many times, even when it wasn't even Christmas, because of the synergy and team work between the penguins, I always liked that so I would always get up at like 10am on a Saturday, even during high school, and watched the show as if I were a kid.

How could I ever forget the Penguins? It was my favourite Nickelodeon show by far. The humor was immaculate, the characters were varied and had great dynamics, the adventures were a great mix of silly and epic, it was unbelievably good.

I still sometimes see this show on TV! Here in Poland it is still widely popular, especially on the internet and in meme culture. In fact, me, my brother and my dad quote it almost every day!

this was an absolute favorite of mine, so funny, so clever, so creative, loved it and my national dubbing was amazing and iconic

I LOVED this series! I was a big fanfic writer in the fandom. I had so many fics! They're actually still up there! Though due to my old account getting hack, I don't have access to update them. Kowalski was my favorite penguin and Dr. Blowhole was my favorite Villain. Ah. Such memories.

Madagascar is one of those rare cartoons that didn’t have a bad entry

Rico was always my favorite out of the four penguins, his wild nature and attitude are really fun.

This cartoon is so underrated, it's one of the most hilarious and well written cartoons of all time

I love the penguins of Madagascar! The show and movie are among my favourite things to watch. I even loved the spin off of this spin off. Something about it is my ultimate comfort. There was a pretty sweet game based on them too that I enjoyed too.

The Penguins are the pinnacle of cartoon characters, always so effortlessly successful even when in extreme danger or the odds are stacked against them. And their constant humor amidst military action is awesome.

I really loved this show, watching it everyday after school, they were always my favorite part of the Madagascar movies. Their plushies merch was amazing as well, hoping for a second movie!

The penguins aren’t amazing characters on their own, but the way they play off of each other is so perfect that you don’t even realize it. You could put them in literally any situation and it would be enjoyable

I love all the penguins equally; they aren't even nearly as fun all by themself versus put in a pack. But if I would absolutely had to pick just one, it would be Skipper. His personality and special kind of... should I say, madness - almost makes him be able to keep the show going on all by himself.

Definitely, and the Christmas short that came before is a legit childhood classic.

You're kidding I hyperfixated again on them like two days ago and I rewatched all the series. I'm so surprised this video came out now💀 So underrated imo they deserved better, I love the characters and their interactions, they're siblings who love each other and support each other always at the end of an episode. Honestly I'm kinda disappointed they had such little screen time in the Madagascar movies but I'm so happy they made the spinoff. I hope for a sequel just like Puss in boots! God I'd love that

This was my favorite cartoon during my preteen years, I would get the DVD's and I still come back to it from time to time.

I found the ‘Penguins of Madagascar’ series to be very clever, humorous and surprisingly deep.

I remember watching this cartoon a lot back in the day. It was one of my favorite Nickelodeon shows ever.

This show is one of the best cartoon comedies out there! All the characters are memorable and hilarious yet they don’t get too annoying

As a kid I try to figure out what timeline this series take place in. It hurt my brain but I love every episode of it. This was a jam back in my day.

Man, I have such fond memories of this show. I also think this was part of my initial attempt to figure out "cartoons are for kids", but I just kept enjoying it too much. Good times, good times.

Loved this show as a kid. Love your content

Yes! Of course I remember! It's THE show of my childhood! Me and my dad has a tradition of watching it together every Friday back when it aired (or technically, when it still had the re-runs), and I still reference it ALL the time in my everyday life! And we've even named our family dog after Rico (because he was a bit nuts at first and because he sometimes makes noises that are kinda similar to the ones made by Rico the penguin)

The Greatest Madagascar Spin Off Ever! I wish they had another cartoon adaptation

Kowalski is easily my favorite. He's so funny and relatable.

Back when DreamWorks Animation Television began to step up more. A childhood show that I will cherish forever.

This is such a well thought out and amazingly edited video, it's been a long time since I've felt like I was back in the thick of the fandom! PoM was such an important experience for me in so many ways, as a growing artist, my first experience in a fandom where I was able to contribute and make so many lasting friendships, it will always hold a special place in my heart. It got me through some the darkest times in my life, I honestly believe I wouldn't be alive without it. It's so hard to choose as my fav of the Penguins, Kowalski and Skipper are definitely neck and neck, but Julien has my heart and soul. 💗

I remember really liking this show when I was younger (and I watched every Madagascar movie more than I should lol)

The Penguins of Madagascar TV series is my favorite animated show of all time! I've loved this show for years and I still watch the show regularly. I love how hilarious, fun, and lighthearted this show is. I love how it's focused on the characters' amazing personalities and focused on the comedy. I appreciate how this show never got too serious and it never tried to make you cry - it's main goal was for you to laugh and have fun while watching it and I GREATLY appreciate that especially nowadays when all the other TV shows are so dark and depressing. Skipper, Private, Kowalski, Rico, Julien, Maurice, Mort, and Marlene are some of my favorite characters of all time! My absolute favorite on the show is Skipper - he has so much charisma, he's incredibly funny, and I admire how fearless he is. Skipper inspires me so much with his bravery and how he actually LOVES jumping into dangerous and risky situations - I seriously wish I could be brave enough to face anything, no matter how low the chances of succeeding are! I love how logical and smart Kowalski is, but I also love it whenever he shows his more emotional and sensitive side. Rico is such a wild character and I absolutely love that. And Private is probably the character in this show that is most like me (along with Marlene). I really love how kind and caring Private is. When it comes to Julien, I do think he was portrayed better in AHKJ and I wish that they would've taken the character development Julien had in that series and brought it into this one. It also would've been great if Julien starts off being really selfish and flawed in the beginning, but then have a redemption arc within the penguins' series. Nonetheless, I still really like his character in this series too. Just like how the dynamic between each of the penguins are great, I really thought the lemurs had a great dynamic with the penguins as well. I really liked Skipper and Julien's hate/love or frenemy type of relationship, I could see the two being closer as friends if Julien's character was written just a little bit better in the series. I also love Marlene, I wish we would've got more moments where she was hanging out with Skipper and Julien. I really love her dynamic with the two of them and I wanted to see more of it. I can't be the only one that wishes this show would come back, right? Rather than another penguins' movie, I'd prefer more episodes of the show. I prefer seeing the penguins in a character-driven episodic show rather than in a plot driven movie. I also like the goofier and more light-hearted nature of the show. This show seriously deserves a reboot and also - they need to put ALL the episodes of Paramount Plus already! More people would probably be able to watch the show if all of it was available on a streaming platform. I believe The Penguins of Madagascar TV show is the BEST thing Dreamworks has ever created - YES, it's better than Kung Fu Panda, Shrek, and How To Train Your Dragon in my opinion. And the Madagascar franchise as a whole still is and always will be my favorite franchise from Dreamworks. Anyways thank you for making a show about the penguins' show, it deserves a lot more recognition and love!!❤️

I love this show! I have no idea how many Madagascar-movies there are, but even in the first movie, the penguins were the most interesting characters. I definitely watched quite a few episodes back then.

Oh gosh, I saw the title and was like "are you kidding??". I remember it being quite popular here in Poland (and tbh it still is popular!). Man, I cannot emphasize how much I love this series, and how much it means to me. I grew up with it. I loved watching it daily when it was on TV. I watched every episode many times and never got bored. Kinda sad that I almost never see anyone talk about this show on the internet though, so thanks for bringing attention to it :) Edit: really glad to see so many fans in the comments, who still very much adore this show :)

I remember watching this as a kid and I really enjoyed it a lot as a kid.

Honestly loved watching this show! Happy New Year! Will see you in 2023! 🥳🎉

I watched this show SO much as a kid!

Yes, we do miss these penguins

I am a huge Doctor Who fan, particularly 12th Doctor Peter Capaldi. About a year I looked up this show on RU-vid and saw a clip where he voiced the uncle to the penguins.

I was WAITING for you to talk about this animation series! 😮 This was hilarious and I really LOVED The ships like Skilene & Dorwalski :3

They still play it daily on TV in Poland, several episodes in a row, and I always watch it :D

You can never have too much of the penguins! They are the only reason I watch the Madagascar movies and I honestly just skip to their scene, their iconic and hilarious. Would be amazing to see them again with the more creative animation styles we're getting these days

Oh my god I loved this show and I think it's the best take on the penguins to date, along with the lemurs, and the other characters in this series were great.

I watched The Penguins of Madagascar near religiously and have probably seen nearly every episode if not all of them. When me and my brother watched this show, even if we got older and I went to college by the final episode, we both still loved this show. Kowalski was my favorite Penguin, but they all were great. King Julian was honestly hilarious oftentimes, either by himself or with people getting sick of him in universe. But also, I adored the Villains like Dr. Blowhole the Bottle nosed Dolphin, Hans the Puffin, The Red Squirrel, and Savio the Boa Constrictor. But also, there were so many side characters that I liked like Uncle Nigel and the other Zoo animals, and how varied the characters could be, ranging from new zoo residents, the park animals, supervillains, relatives, the Zoo staff (honestly the main lady I forgot the name of was really funny oftentimes.)

I loved this show growing up, I still remember the Kowalski song, he sang when trying to serenade a super-smart chicken. Also there was that Big Time Rush crossover😋

Yeah , its one of my favorite comedic series till now , I like it at most in Arabic Egyptian cast because they always turn any series or films into comedic gold series , and polish cast have very solid jokes and all family like to watch so I remember myself after traveling to Poland first thing I did in television is opening PULSE and rewatch all episodes of Penguins , good old days .

This show was my introduction to fandoms way back in the day, honestly. I was NUTS for it, and was also a regular on the official forums near daily. I still remember a lot about those threads, and think back on the experiences fondly, as well as the show that was so formative for me. Such a gem, honestly.

I legit LOVED this show growing up! The penguins are just awesome characters and I love how they added new characters to the show which expanded upon the life inside the zoo. I really love how they expanded on the characters from the movies without it feeling out of left field or forced in any way. Kawalski being the science guy just made so much sense and it gave the writers a lot of opportunities to create inciting incidents, conflicts, or solutions to problems in the episodes. I always loved how Skipper was portrayed in the show too. Being confident not only in himself but confidence in his team as well. Rico's new scar and little mohak was just perfect character design. And Private is just the sweetest best penguin boy. Marline was my favorite addition to the cast. I always loved how she acted as the voice of reason for Skipper, and even a potential love interest. King Julian is pure gold in this show and I honeslty had no idea they changed his voice actor! The new guy they got did such an incredible job with King Julian that now he's the guy I think of when I think of King Julian. Edit: my favorite penguin is Kawalski. He has some of the best lines in the show lol

The Christmas short also cemented the Penguins’ popularity.

I would LOVE to see a Penguins of Madagascar movie with the quality story and art style equivalent to The Last Wish... that would be EPIC! But only if they actually have a good story to tell. If they make one _just_ for money's sake it won't be as good.

My two favorite episodes are “The Revenge of Dr. Blowhole” and”The Return and the Revenge of Dr. Blowhole.” 🐬😈

I remember really loving this show as a kid and catching it on Nickelodeon whenever I could. Madagascar was already my bread and butter as a kid, heck, it used to be my favorite DreamWorks franchise. So a spin-off show starring probably the best side characters in the series was something I couldn't get enough of. I even remember the Halloween promo popping up on TV where Skipper was a "zombie", not to mention the Dr. Blowhole Arc. I loved the dynamic between the penguin brothers and whatever villians and shenanigans that got up to. DreamWorks really know how to use what worked to their advantage, they took their characters from this, what is seen as, mixed bag franchise. And made an awesome cartoon about them. I also really enjoyed Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness. The series they did about Monsters VS Aliens though was just...horrendous. Also, I honestly agree that the lemurs were probably the most tedious and lowest part in this series, King Julien practically had no redeemable qualities, being 100% idiot, Maurice was miserable, Squidward-esque, hate-filled bore, and Mort...just existed, and liked feet. I'm glad they got their own series, All Hail King Julien, aside from the upgrade to a streaming service budget, the show itself is really great, it's also CRAZY, after watching that show Mort is the most interesting being in Madagascar lore, Julien still keeps his personality, but is actually a caring and competent king and pulls out some greay moments when it counts, and he and Maurice share many brotherly moments, Maurice no longer hates Julien but they simply disagree at times, even he admits Juliens odd luck gets them out of whatever jam they are in. He's a bit more upbeat and likeable. Really shows all the lemurs needed was focus.

There was so much to enjoy out of this show, so many rememberable episodes, like the one where they fought doctor blowhole and chrome claw, the one where skipper is mistaken as a girl, that episode where Kowalski made a giant cube that legit ate Julien, and that one episode where Ricko ate a bomb, it got stuck in him, and the penguins trying to get it out of him before it explodes and kills him... beautiful stuff. ;)

Whenever I think of this show, I think of one running gag in an episode where Kowalski does a spittake _every single time_ someone says the word "minigolf". I dunno why but that always stuck out as the funniest thing to me.

i forgot how much i loved this show

This show played a huge role in my childhood as every morning before school I would watch the episodes before anything, throughout primary school.

To this day. I still use the saying “Just smile and wave boys.”

Honestly, one of the best thing I remember abkut this show was watching it with my father when I was a kid, and he was 60! It wasn't really easy to connect with him, but it at least the show gave both of us some time to just stay around each other and enjoy something together.

I loved this series, every night when my dad came from work I told him about the episode of that day, the plot, quotes, basically everything and he listened to me every time, also he was surprised of how I could remember so much detail of an episode. I love you dad

Omg, finally someone is talking about this show!🤩 When I was a kid this show was my jam, and I’m so happy it’s still remembered today. I think we can agree that this is one of THE BEST things to come out of the Madagascar franchise!✋😌👌

The Penguins of Madagascar is one of my favorite DreamWorks animated feature film of 2014.

“Serpentine!” “You can’t defeat a serpent with Sepentine!” Yes, I remember this show. I watched it all the time.

I've been going through a Madagascar craze after buying the Madagascar Ultimate Collection on DVD, which has all 4 movies, 3 shorts and 5 episodes from the Penguins of Madagascar and 5 from All Hail King Julien. Also could you possibly do Little Shop, a Little Shop of Horrors kids show, all the episodes are on RU-vid, and it is not remembered by anyone.

"Succeed? We won't suck seed. We will all be eating popcorn!" That scene lives rent free in my head

I loved this show as a kid! It's been so long since I've seen it ^^

The Theme Song is an absolute treasure.

This was actually one of my favorite Nicktoons growing up, despite clearly being a DreamWorks import. The Penguins were without a doubt my favorite characters in the Madagascar movies, and this show didn't dissapoint. As for Whenever it takes place on the timeline, I personally do not care. Madagascar is a franchise purely focused on Goofy Fun, so i don't exactly think about it at all.

This show ironically helps me teach the differences of definitions between similar words as part of my job as an English SAT tutor. Specifically one episode that i adore with all my heart, having the immortally hilarious gag of "Disarming the bomb is easy, you just have to cut the red wire. See? The wires are red, rouge, brick, scarlet, and periwinkle. Easy.", all while happening in a room lit up by a red alarm light to make them all look even more similar. It's a way to make teaching the differences between "Fake, pseudo, mock, and faux" fun for students and get a laugh while doing so.

Happy New Year! To answer your question, my favorite penguin was Kowalski. He is a constant fountain of memorable quotes from the series. I still remember ‘The Bus Called Graveyard Eight’ by heart!

So happy you reminded me of this show!! I hadn't rewatched it in a while. Yay for a huge work playlist! Oh, great video ☺️. Thank you.

Was absolutely hooked on this show when I was growing up and then adored the movie too XD I remember being surprised they got a spinoff show but thankfully it was about the best characters from the movie lol. Captured their entire dynamic well

I love the Penguins of Madagascar show SO MUCH. As a kid I watched it all the time and laughed constantly. I really think they should get a sequal to the 2014 movie as well and perhaps even a third installment after that

I still remember the Penguins of Madagascar crystal clear. I first watched it for about a few months when I was like 10. Then like 6 months ago today while I was away camping, me, my dad and my uncle watched an episode on the TV and we were laughing our heads off! The show is a lot funnier now that I'm old enough to understand the jokes!

remember it? I LOVED it. some episodes are just simply iconic, especially when it fleshed out all the penguins' backgrounds, like Skipper's actions in Denmark, Kowalski and Doris etc etc

I love how the whole team loves private and treat him with so much trust even though he seems like he can’t pull off a mission

2:40 parry the platypus?!

I got back into Madagascar in high school and got pretty into the Penguins fandom online. Somehow, despite being an active fan artist and theorist, I didn't realize the show was still running. Loved the movie, hated the King Julien series. My favorite was Kowalski. The Penguins fandom is still alive but very small for obvious reasons; I'm still friends with one of the girls I roleplayed with back in the day and she never stopped penguin posting

It's about TIME someone talked about this show! I LOVED this show as a kid and was my first ever fandom. I use to spend HOURS on the nickelodeon kids message board to talk about this when I was a kid. I still have my Skipper plush from way back then. However I am surprised to hear that it aired until 2015. Looks like I have some catching up to do

Yes I do 🥳 I have no idea how it ended but I’m glad they got a show, they were my favourite part of the movie 😂

The biggest standout of this show for me was the episode where Skipper had to fight his own team. Like a students vs corrupted master type of thing. It was so hype as a kid

I loved this show as a kid! I would watch it all the time!!!

In Poland this series is a really big thing. There are many memes about it. Such an underrated series.

Loved this show to death! To this day I still wished the movie used all the voice actors from the show. Also I thought it was great we got a closure to the long running gag with Manfridi and Johnson

The fact Marleen's VA played Shego is so good.

The penguins have a pretty decent record, you talked about the show and the cartoon but they have a Christmas special too. I love it all as a kid, still love.

I don't know why, but back then me and my best friend always found it funny when Skipper wanted to slap a hippy and Rico shouting out Hippies
