@prudent_rodentI think he means literally walk out. Don’t the penguins have water around their enclosure meaning they have to take the secrets passages?

Heck, its their plan that helps Marty get out in the first place. In the show their goal is… I don’t actually know. They have a vague spy thing going on, but I don’t think they’re part of a larger organization. Either way, they don’t seem to bothered by staying at the zoo anymore.
What *_REALLY_* bothers me is how this guy is able to take a newspaper, a bagel AND A CUP OF COFFEE out of the trash. The way he does it without looking implies that it’s happened so often that he already knows where everything is before even catching a glimpse of what’s inside 😭

He's smart enough to just lie about it because he is also intelligent enough to understand that whatever bullshit that could come out of such a question isn't worth his time.
Maybe he picks the papers to see if he can teach himself to read. He wakes up in the morning, picks the trash for breakfast and morning papers, then after like two minutes his brain goes "wait a minute.... I can't read"
He claimed he couldn't read, but when Phil signed out the writing, technically, he read the signs. So he can read sign language but he can't read words?
He probably said he couldn't read just because he felt lazy that day. Because whenever you're somewhat lazy and don't want to be disturbed, you kinda just agree or disagree with everything other people say.
For those who do not know: Before the 2000's, It was common for Sunday's newspapers to have 2 or 4 coloured pages for comic strips in the exact center of the newspaper, so kids would remove them and read them. Now it is an obsolete thing because it is too expensive for newspapers to do it since they are obsolete and coloured pages cost extra.
@@osvelit I believe you are talking about single picture frame comic strips, those are still there in the politics section.

A lot of people have been complaining about how someone really threw away an almost complete bagel, just after one bite. Truly, people are growing more conscious regarding the act of throwing away a bagel.
Exactly what I was thinking and the monkey also acts like he's very intelligent and stuff, so maybe if he pretends to read a newspaper he looks smarter to other people
I know people are debating his ability to read. But lets not forget the fact this monkey is a good friend. Woke Phil up so he can get some coffee and chilled next to him. Sure he’s in a cage but a good friend nonetheless.
Did you really just wanted to say an obvious topic from what we already saw in the video to want attention? You Want the debate to end? Butt out of it, it will die off soon.
@endoskel9262 it's rude that people reminds others what they already seen. I would get if it's the person's favorite scene but I hate obvious people so much.
It's a sheet of comic strips and they can easily be understood with comprehensible input You could argue that Mason isn't reading the side printed with the comic book section but it could be double-sided It's also common in the animation industry to flip what the character is reading so that the viewer can see it too without an alternative camera angle
That's why he needed Phil to wake up: so he could read the funny papers for him. He could look at the pictures and get an idea of the jokes, but that's it.
It's clearly shown that Mason isn't reading the newspaper, but the comics section, better said, *watching* the comics section. If you take a closer look, not even the comics have dialogue in the bubbles, so I guess Mason not knowing hot to read human language is justified. That or he only can read certain words, like "TOTAL ECLIPSE TODAY".
Don't question it too much. Even then, he got the comics page so its likely he just reads that as a gag. I'm more bugged by the fact that Phil has cans even on the boat. He's a drunkee.
Mason lied so he can let Phil do the dirty work of reading the sign on the penguins' crate. Either that or he was just lazy or he just was too stressed over being transferred.
Furthermore: * Why would someone throw away a completely untouched bagel? * How did seemingly nobody notice the chimp enclosure was full of soda cans? Isn't that really bad for animals? You'd think the zoo staff would be very quick to clean it up. * The name of the newspaper is "NYC City Press" meaning its full name is quite literally "New York *City City* Press". * The comics have no dialogue whatsoever. * Why would Phil gurgle coffee when he already has access to water? That's just going to make your breath worse. * Mason, again, claims that he can't read, but yet can somehow perfectly read Phil's sign language.

Probably the only comment to mention this but does anyone else just love the small scenario where characters take garbage and small items and use them like regular objects for themselves? It's the same with Toy Story and Over the Hedge off the top of my head.
Here's the thing about the Madagascar characters that I want to analyze in my remake of them. They're each well balanced. Dreamworks always has this habit of going beyond the bare minimum with their characters, and it shows in their first few works and all of their sequels. Shrek, they gave each character a subversive purpose and subversive arcs. Their 2D animated films, they give each character a purpose and a personality, MegaMind, they dig deep to see what each of the characters truly want, and as for Madagascar. You have to admit, the first team shows a bunch of people who are each their own force of nature. Alex is the one that pushes every character and plot forward, Marty is the one that constantly gets them into trouble, Gloria constantly pulls everyone with her bare hands out of trouble and Melman pulls back the reins. The penguins each have this repeated dynamic, just turned in a different, more professional and intelligent direction. The main penguin that I forgot the name of constantly gets everyone to move forward, Kowalski calculate their odds of success and how to succeed, Ricco has all of the methods necessary to succeed, and Private is just there to question the team and serve as cannon fodder and as the occasional voice of reason alongside Kowalski. The two Monkeys appear with power at their fingertips and they utilize that power to leverage their importance within the narrative. King Julien is such a... commanding guy that he leads where the story is meant to go. He constantly gets both slowed down and sped up by Mort, and Maurice constantly has to reason with him. This is the basic character dynamic between technically 3 groups of characters despite the monkeys still being great characters narratively speaking they're the penguins Deus Ex Machina, and they're so cool at it. And here's the thing, the circus animals weren't a bad idea, we just didn't get and give enough time to personally invest in them. Dreamworks tried to cheat with getting all of the characters together by desperate circumstances shone on all of them, and getting Alex to want to stay. It's not bad, it's just not the first or second film which were each great. And then there's the TV show and the spin-off movies and in my more than honest opinion, the characterization feels like a defeated version of the penguins and a more psychopathic version of the original 3. I didn't mind Mort's psychopathy, I mean that *thing* is not of this world but King Julien? From my memory, which I'll probably need to refresh, he oftentimes felt like he was tumbling between low empathy and high empathy, and he kind of just feels like a lost cause whose consequences do get avoided eventually in the end, which is really and honestly kind of a shame because he's meant to be the central character in the show and yet, I feel like either his kingly ego could've either been toned down or left him out of being the main character altogether. Is he insufferable in the show? I don't know, probably? Is he way out of his character? Absolutely not, this is peak King Julien not as a character, but as what he was implied to be from the first movie and his characterization does make sense and isn't hard to follow with. However the penguins? From what I remember, again, this was a long time ago since I last saw their show but they did seem kind of feel like they were sanitized and dumbed down just so that kids who would watch the show could follow them and it's honestly kind of a shame because in their original movie appearances whenever they made actions they were absolutely amazing, especially in that christmas special where they really pulled out all of the stops.
what bugs me even more is that they got caught buying train tickets to leave New York. You probably don’t have to read to say your destination, but they still would’ve had to read what platform they have to get on??? and also they have to read numbers, unless sign language did the trick lol
If I remember correctly they are a couple of apes, one can read and the other understands sign language and get the other to tell him what he reads with sign language...
My theory is that in the beginning of the movie, he doesn't actually read the journal but mimics reading a journal, since apes are usually fond of mimicing human behaviour when they are overly exposed to them.
I thought it was intentional. In a cartoon I used to watch Reg a big-headed, arrogant mandrill whose lifelong ambition was to become more like humans. He will often be seen trying to read a book, even though he couldn't read a word.
He's British, sarcasm and refusing to help strangers is built into the language.... of course he knows how to read, he just doesn't want to do THEIR reading
Bro I always rewinded this part of the movie because I couldn’t believe my 8 year old ears along with my friend who was the same age. We laughed constantly at it and began reenacting the scene putting emphasis on the “F#%King” and dancing ridiculously to the background music. We actually got his older brother who was a senior in highschool at the time to show him the treasure we just found 😂. When he started laughing extremely loud it confirmed we weren’t just hearing things. Ahhh nostalgia ☕️
Either he could read but couldn’t explain what the words meant, he genuinely can’t read words and likes the newspaper only for the pictures (like other comments are saying), or he didn’t want to explain just for kicks (because it’s a comedy). But I thank the algorithm for this video because I think this moment is interesting.
What bugs me more is that despite the cup sounding empty, it is then immediately revealed to not only have liquid, but also not having it be spilled at any point.
The fact you noticed this as a kid is crazy. I know most children probably watch movies just because it will have humor in it, and not really pay attention to the small details. Good job.
Don't underestimate kids. This exact mindset is why shows are no longer good and why gen-alphas on YT always act so immature, because people think they are stupid, treat them as such, and over-dumb the show ruining it for the older audiences.
This is the Mario “Well f___ you, Luigi” thing all over again. There’s no way they didn’t slide in a “f___” thinking people wouldn’t notice. He definitely said it
Kudos to you for even being bothered as a kid. As a kid I never even remembered he read a newspaper earlier, so I just went along with it, lol. I guess he ether one, likes the comic pictures or two, was too lazy to be of any help so he BS'ed the penguins and passed on the effort until he was forced to translate, lol.

Point one: a ship can go from New York to Madagascar to Antarctica to Madagascar again within a week.
Point two: Marty didn't get slapped by an angry scientologist.
What bugs me is that the monkey could slip through the bars and the penguins could slide through the holes
That monkey always seemed so smart so he's definitely lying
Also love how he got a cup o' drink for his buddy after slapping him with a newspaper lol
This was the most surprisingly funny and watchable animated movie of my adulthood.
he just lied to the Penguins because he hates them
What bugs me more is that someone threw away a perfectly good bagel after one bite.
Has a great man once said: “You sit on a thrown of lies”
"You smell of beef and cheese"
@@dinosaurusmaximus8506HES AN IMPOSTER
He reads comics, not words
My theory is that in the beginning of the movie, he doesn't actually read the journal but mimics reading a journal, since apes are usually fond of mimicing human behaviour when they are overly exposed to them.
I thought it was intentional. In a cartoon I used to watch Reg a big-headed, arrogant mandrill whose lifelong ambition was to become more like humans. He will often be seen trying to read a book, even though he couldn't read a word.
Higher mammals?
Said the penguins who hijacked an airplane.
I'd like to make a counterargument: He was clearly looking at the comics. Maybe he can just comprehend the pictures, but can't understand the words.

Is it just me, but why did it sound like he said:
"Wake up you f***ing monkey."
Would’ve fixed it if they made him hold the newspaper upside down
I always assumed he was just sarcastically lying to the penguins
Being fair. Those comic don't have any words on them.
Maybe he was only looking at the pictures of the newspaper, like I usually did with any magazine as a kid
Maybe he needs Phil to read the newspaper for him.
0:19 - Hey look, is that overused skipper meme.
HEY YOU
He's British, sarcasm and refusing to help strangers is built into the language.... of course he knows how to read, he just doesn't want to do THEIR reading
I've seen Madagascar at least 200 times from being a kid up to now, as an adult, and I never even NOTICED this! Oh, my gosh! 😂
Bro I always rewinded this part of the movie because I couldn’t believe my 8 year old ears along with my friend who was the same age. We laughed constantly at it and began reenacting the scene putting emphasis on the “F#%King” and dancing ridiculously to the background music. We actually got his older brother who was a senior in highschool at the time to show him the treasure we just found 😂. When he started laughing extremely loud it confirmed we weren’t just hearing things. Ahhh nostalgia ☕️
Either he could read but couldn’t explain what the words meant, he genuinely can’t read words and likes the newspaper only for the pictures (like other comments are saying), or he didn’t want to explain just for kicks (because it’s a comedy).
But I thank the algorithm for this video because I think this moment is interesting.
They just don't wanna pay taxes
You can see he his explicitly holding the comics section
While that could be taken as a continuity error, it’s just as likely that he’s just fucking with them because he’s lazy.
I never even noticed this as a kid
I couldn't stop laughing 😂
What bugs me more is that despite the cup sounding empty, it is then immediately revealed to not only have liquid, but also not having it be spilled at any point.
He did what we all did in school
Preteding to read by looking at pictures.
Maybe the Monkey that the Penguins ask was Phil and the other monkey was someone else.
He has comics and it doesnt have any words on it.
If you look closely his reading the funny pages the comics you DON’T have to read to enjoy them
The fact you noticed this as a kid is crazy. I know most children probably watch movies just because it will have humor in it, and not really pay attention to the small details. Good job.
Don't underestimate kids. This exact mindset is why shows are no longer good and why gen-alphas on YT always act so immature, because people think they are stupid, treat them as such, and over-dumb the show ruining it for the older audiences.
The underrated duo that we needed in our everyday lives.
bro those are the funnies, he's looking at the pics
This is the Mario “Well f___ you, Luigi” thing all over again. There’s no way they didn’t slide in a “f___” thinking people wouldn’t notice. He definitely said it
Its a comic book, he just looks at the pictures. When i couldnt read i looked at illustrated books just for the pictures, he probably does the same
These two are very underrated and need their own spin-off series.
BTW if it just me or both of them LOOK like a NFT Monkey don't they?
Ah man I miss this show so much
So am I the only one who heard him say “filthy monkey”? Which is what he actually said. 💀💀
I think he was just looking at the pictures.
Kudos to you for even being bothered as a kid. As a kid I never even remembered he read a newspaper earlier, so I just went along with it, lol. I guess he ether one, likes the comic pictures or two, was too lazy to be of any help so he BS'ed the penguins and passed on the effort until he was forced to translate, lol.
Bro forgor💀
He forgor fr 💀
I actually noticed the monkey said the F word until today
What bugs me more is that fact that someone literally threw an entire bagel in the trash
Maybe he lied?
The way he fetches coffee, newspaper and bagel out of that trashcan is still prime morning mood asthetic to me.
He reads it for the funny comics.
It’s like reading a comic in a different language. You can’t read it, but you can get the general gist of it.
My dude it's literally a comic strip with no words
I’m more concerned about why someone threw away a whole ass bagel
