  • "Man, this guy is so accidentally cool!"
  • Everything out of Ramón's beak.
    Ramón: (to Mumble) Let me tell something to you. Except for me, tallboy, you got the most charisma of anybody.
    Nestor: Put that ego away, Ramón, you're gonna hurt someone. (the Amigos laugh)
    Ramón: OH, you so jealous! Just a moment! I hear people wanting something. (Beat) ME!

    • "YOU LET IT OUT! JUST LET IT OUT! LET IT OUT!"
    • "I know I can do this. I'll just trick myself. Hey, look at that! What? Aaaaaaaaaaaah!"
  • Memphis' reaction to Mumble's dancing.
    Memphis: I wouldn't do that around folks, son.
    Mumble: Why not?
    Memphis: Well... just ain't penguin.
  • Lovelace's Large Ham moments.
  • The suggestions of how Mumble can convince Lovelace to answer his questions:
    "Unimaginable torture?"
    "Imaginable torture?"
    *beat*
    "NO!"
  • "You lost the baby?! Memphis!"
  • Mumble hatching. His feet were the first thing to pop out, and he started dancing with his shell still attached.
    Memphis: That's different...
  • Mumble's first attempt to get on top of Memphis's feet for warmth ends badly for his poor dad.
    Memphis: "Watch the beak, watch the beak..."
    Mumble does an accidental groin attack
    Memphis: "BEAK! Augh... the beak."
  • Then there's Memphis telling his son he has to attend school.
    Mumble: I'll try, Pa.
    Memphis: You bet you will. The word "Triumph" starts with "try", and it ends with...
    Mumble: "Umph".
    Memphis: That's right. A great big, -Strikes a pose- "Umph!" I'm going fishing.
  • The conclusion of the chase scene of Mumble and the leopard seal.
    • Complete with taunting the leopard seal.
      Leopard seal: Come here, sausage. I take you with ketchup.
      Ramon: Yeah, but first, you got to catch up!
    • "Oh no, he's coming! We'd better move in half an hour!" Cue everyone slow-mo running.
    • "Oh, he's leaving! Wait, that was his face!" "See ya, fatty."
  • When Mumble first displays his awful singing to the Amigos.
    Lombardo: What's he doing?
    Nestor: I think he's singing.
    Raul: I know singing. That's not singing.
    Ramon: Yeah, I heard an animal do that, but then they rolled him over, he was dead.
  • When baby Mumble asks about the GPS tracker on the lead skua's ankle, the skua (which for some reason has a Boston accent), launches into a story about how he was "abducted by aliens" (tagged by researchers and released). The others in his band kvetch about it to no end, and it's strongly implied that they've heard this story many times— to the point where they're mouthing along with his spiel behind his back.
  • When being attacked by the orca:
    Raul: They're making us appeteasers!
    Ramón: They're appe-teasing us!
    Rinaldo: Ha, ha, ha! (Beat) We're all gonna die.
    • When the first orca appears:
    Stay calm... stay calm... okay, don't stay calm. Panic!
  • During the "Boogie Wonderland" scene, when the elders are watching the graduates dance, you can see one of them dancing along, before one of the others hits him on the back of his head.
  • Mumble and the Adelies trying to guess what Lovelace is saying. Lovelace can't speak well because of the six-pack rings around his neck so he tries to act it out. The conversation goes something like this:
    "Two words, three syllables."
    "You're dying?"
    "No, no, wait. Past? Your past life?"
    "You're passing gas?"
    "Now he thinks he's an elephant seal."
  • Mrs. Astrakhan banging her head against a rock of ice in the background as Memphis and Norma Jean walk away after facing her first failure in not getting Mumble to sing.
  • When the entire colony dances for the aliens/human expedition team, one of the guys dances along so hard that he slips in the snow and falls on his butt. His friends laugh, crossing into Heartwarming Moments.
