I Never Knew Madagascar Was This Ridiculously Funny *Commentary*

[@ANGELINAA]

Special thanks to my patreons!

[@messyroomstudios]

Have you seen the movie Home Again Reese Witherspoon?

[@almas4663]

I was really surprised that Madagascar trilogy is considered a B movie by many people in America, because growing up - this trilogy was as iconic to me as Shrek and Kung-Fu Panda.

[@zjjohnson3827]

I get it confused with The Wild

​@@lars2894 While I do love Ice Age - it was not made by Dreamworks

[@DanGamingFan2406]

The use of "What A Wonderful World" is so perfect here, and just one of many reasons that this movie is comedy gold! Other reasons include the Penguins, King Julien, and Nana beating up Alex.

[@watershipup7101]

Very true.

[@maddenboseroy4074]

I somewhat prefer its use in Finding Dory.

[@EChacon]

By far one of the most entertaining animated comedies DreamWorks has created from its stellar voice cast consisting of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric the Entertainer and Andy Richter, the animation and it’s comedy ("Oh Sugar Honey Iced Tea"), but the penguins were hands down the highlight of the entire film especially their catchphrase of _"Just Smile and Wave Boys. Smile and Wave."_ Easily what I love about DreamWorks Animation especially in their earlier CG animated movies and their more recent films is that they’re willing to go out of the box with their character designs and animation and each of their movies such as the _Shrek_ films, The _Madagascar_ films, The _How to Train Your Dragon_ films, the _Kung Fu Panda_ movies as well as _Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Bad Guys,_ and the upcoming _Ruby Gillman_ just show how creative they change their animation styles and character designs in each movie. Looking forward to your reactions to the next two Madagascar films and it’s spin-off _The Penguins of Madagascar_ and hope you get to react to _The Bad Guys._

And the amount of jokes in there that some of us kids won't know till we got old and knew right away 😂 also that line "s-ugar h-oney i-ced t-ea" 🤣 I was bowling my eyes out laughing.

I forgot how funny this movie is.

[@danielthenorwegianguy]

Can we all enjoy the irony of Jada Pinkett Smith and Chris Rock being in a movie together😅🤣🤣

[@bigouncee]

Madagascar 4 never gonna happen lol

[@RS-bn1ty]

Ya know the great thing about movies like this is they probably never even saw each other until they had to talk about the film in person lol usually actors record separately unless they’re doing a musical piece like Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi did for Tangled. I never really thought another Madagascar was going to happen after it’s last installment but you never know

[@IconicEnemy]

Something Will Smith would never allow today

[@C1umsyJester]

@@RS-bn1ty acc some voice actors do their lines back to back so they can hear the tone the other person is speaking or giving the line. Destiny 2 light fall had this issue with the writing where it sounds like the people speaking are in entirely separate scenes even tho their lines are going back to back

[@Tones2372]

Was thinking the same thing😂

[@SleepySloth2705]

11:06 The Fossa are the largest predators on Madagascar (albeit very small by comparison). Despite their resemblance to small cougars, they are part of the feliformidae family of mammals, which also includes mongoose and hyenas

[@JO_studios199]

The penguins of Madagascar carried the film franchise. Change my mind.

[@dianedavid3052]

Truth!!

[@16taysia]

I love when Marty says Oh Sugar Honey Iced Tea lol 😂😂😂

[@katosnook]

In México it was dub as "Miércoles" (Wednesday), due to the similarity to the word "Mierd*" (Sugar Honey Iced Tea) XD

[@aliyahpulido953]

@@katosnook As someone raised in a bilingual household, I watched both the Spanish and English dubs, and for some reason, "Miércoles!" sounded funnier to me than "Oh, Sugar Honey Iced Tea!" 😂 Obv, in both situations I didn't realize those were cussing euphemisms bc I was too young to know. But now that I do, they're equally hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[@charlesbecker934]

There is in fact 2 sequels. The second one is my personal favorite one. The third is the one I liked the least, but the humor is still good. Also, if you loved the penguins, there's a whole show that was actually pretty good and a movie as well

[@thepandorica1660]

That's true and I think there are other shows too, but they don't involve the penguins

[@cameronclarke3215]

The penguins of Madagascar series is good too

[@Angelicwings1]

I love how Alex gets pissed about the Knicks losing while the guy sitting on the train is afraid for his life cause he's sitting next to a god damn LION 🤣

[@benhuffman31]

Sugar Honey Ice Tea was one of the first adult jokes I remember getting as a kid. Also, not the airplane going over Ange’s head at the New York Giants joke.

[@Ace-w2c]

It’s cause she literally lives in New York the words are kinda hard to see but if you look closely you’ll see it

[@lordiedams348]

theres a lot of cool details in the movie itself, for example when they are in the island Martin gives everyone seaweed to eat, which works for him melman and gloria because all three are plant eating animals but alex thinks is disgusting because hes the only big predator of the group

[@ajpreclaro1608]

You gotta do the whole trilogy. It’s a necessary life experience imo. Whenever I ask my dad what his favourite movie franchise is, he says Madagascar.

[@ZulqarnainAidil]

I’m glad that this movie found an audience in Ange. DreamWorks really needed that.

[@diegopansini3152]

We want more Madagascar movie reactions! It's worth it

[@felicityedwards1306]

The sequels are honestly pretty good! Madagascar 2 is my favorite of the three :)

[@Angelicwings1]

Mine is the third

[@aliyahpulido953]

10:32 "San Diego's *amazing* are you kidding me?! Take that back!" THANK YOU for defending my home, Ange! I always get mildly offended when I get to that joke in the movie bc not only is the city itself fantastic (the people are too!) the zoo is one of the best ones, if not THE BEST one, I've been to in my entire life!

[@strangeworldsunlimited712]

I don't think Alex was dissing San Diego itself, but more along the lines of lamenting having to share the city with Shamu the Orca at SeaWorld. Alex doesn't think he could successfully compete with Shamu for the spotlight.

[@aliyahpulido953]

@@strangeworldsunlimited712 Thinking about it that way makes a bit more sense from Alex's perspective, and makes it a little funnier! 😂 On the other hand, it's now ironic that he probably wouldn't have that competition bc we don't have Shamu shows anymore... Though we still did when this movie was released, so it was an understandable concern of his then.

[@MarceloSilva-kp7mc]

When an animal goes a long time without eating, the hunting instincts tend to work even more aggressively In Alex's case, he's a captive-raised animal, which means he's never been hungry or had to hunt, so his instincts were not only heightened by him being hungry, but also by this being his first time hunting, which, as the film showed, was so intense that he even started to hallucinate

[@JBat-Gaming]

I was thinking earlier today, “I want Angelina to do Madagascar” then I got home and opened KZbin to see she did

[@jackelinetejada4348]

The whole franchise is AMAZING, I definitely think you'd enjoy it and that I'd enjoy watching the commentaries

[@stephanniemorin]

8:02 Ange, dont question Ricos methods. Always remember, Rico is the McGuffin dispenser (and has an obsession with a Barbie in the TV series), Private is the wholesome one, Kowalski deals in intelligence, and Skipper is the leader. Also, fun fact, theyre Adelie penguins, so the Barbie thing is sort of true to the species...look it up at your own risk!

[@tigersblack57]

The joke plane going over her head was a pretty great edit.

[@andymcmillan2193]

Other two Madagascars are definitely worth checking out, the second is my particular favorite of the trilogy. There's also a spinoff movie about just the penguins, so that's another thing to watch

[@davidmendezhult6643]

All the Madagascars are pretty good and would love to see your reaction to them. And the Penguins have their own movie which is definitely worth the watch.

[@benschultz1784]

This movie is chock full of references that (at the time) only adults would get. Saturday Night Fever (Marty strutting to "Stayin' Alive"), the original Planet of the Apes ("Darn you all to Heck!"), The Twilight Zone ("It's a cookbook!"), American Beauty (Alex's steak dream) and more. It's to the point that Sasha Baron Cohen is better known for "I Like to Move It" than The Mad Stuntman

[@a.g.demada5263]

I understand you because I have the same allergies since years. I remember being very happy when the movie came out because I'm born in Madagascar even if I grew up in France because of my adoption. And as a Native woman of Madagascar, I can tell they really respect all the plants and trees of the island. King Julian is a lemur cata (or maki cata) more precisely and that's the most famous lemur. I have one as stuffed animal. Maurice is an Aye-Aye, another tyoe of lemur but who's synonym of bad luck according the superstitions

[@phoenixdzk]

There's a bonus episode in the DvD where the penguins take on the old lady & her little monster of a dog to get a gift for a polar bear at Christmas. Loved it, was like free DLC... Also Tom McGrath (director) was Skipper

[@waterywingz]

Yassss They couldn’t find the perfect voice actor for Skipper, and director “demonstrated” how he wanted it, and they were like “Well y dunchu just play him?”

You should totally do Madagascar 2 and 3. But there’s also a Penguins of Madagascar spinoff you also might like

[@MetaLatias5]

There's two sequels and a Penguins Of Madagascar spin-off movie and I absolutely recommend watching them all, especially because the second movie, Escape 2 Africa, works really well off of and adds some really nice context to the first movie

[@nickcys5395]

The part where Alex is kneeling in front of the destroyed statue of Liberty and yelling, "You maniacs! You blew it up! Darn you! Darn you all up heck!" is a reference to the ending of the 1968 Planet of the Apes movie.

🔥Firstly, you are hilarious. ❤Secondly, being that you loved the "special operations" penguins I wanted to point out that McDonalds made a pretty neat HAPPY MEAL TOY out of one of them from the movie (note all the pengiuns look the same in the movie). It looks like a normal penguin knick-knack from the movie BUT it has a secret function which is to cough-up a fish which you can stick a fortune cookie sized fortune/message into or just a small rolled up message into and this thus allows you to pass a secret message onto a selected comrade...who has been told how and where to access the message. You press on its tail and you can eject the fish containing a small written message STRAIGHT UP INTO THE AIR a foot or so and you can then catch it in the air while its still air bourne-which is pretty slick-or you can lightly tap the tail and simply reveal the fish containing a rolled up message in its throat and you can just pull it out. You can also stick a small to medium sized key in the fish if you like. Its pretty dope, functional, and can be a funny way to pass on things to roommates or better-halves, if you will. So there you have it...its one of the COOLEST happy meal toys!! See diagrams below!! [Step 1] Eject the hidden fish from the penguins stomach: 🐟⬅🙌 2nd: Catch it in mid-air! 🔼 🐧↙👇1st: Press down on the tail. [Step 2] Pull out the secret message or key contained in the regurgitated fish: 📜⬅🐟 OR 🔑⬅🐟
