Recap / All Hail King Julien S 01 E 02 Poll Position

Go To

When the new King's approval polls come in at 99%, King Julien is determined to turn the missing 1% and make it a perfect 100%

Tropes:

  • Brick Joke: As Julien is handing out mangoes near the end of the episode, cut to Willie still on his boat from the beginning of the episode, understandably upset as it is now sinking, but changing his tune completely when he happens to catch a stray mango.
  • Easily Forgiven: Lemurs just love mangoes that much.
  • Exact Words: The one hater turns out to be Mort. Since the question asked was "Do you like King Julien", his answer was "No, he LOVES King Julien".
  • Friendly, Playful Dolphin: Willie assumes this to be the case, but they turn out to be aggressive dolphins instead. A later episode will reveal Willie has problems telling dolphins and sharks apart.
  • Line-of-Sight Alias: Julien sees a lemur sitting at a table and comes up with "Chair Lemurtable" as his disguise name.
  • Literal-Minded: When Julien says all he wants is to be loved by everyone, he means everyone.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: A fake mustache made out of leaves on a stick. No one is fooled.
    • Not to mention that he didn't take off his crown.
  • Politicians Kiss Babies: Julien decides he can raise his approval with this, but things take a turn when Mort passes himself off as a baby to get a kiss.
  • Somebody Doesn't Love Raymond: The plot point of the episode when it turns out that the 1% disapproval rating is the result of a single lemur.
  • Spoof Aesop:
    Julien: I have learned a valuable lesson today.
    Maurice: You realized the folks closest to you are the ones who's opinions really matter?
    Julien: I was going to say I learned any time things are going bad for me, I can publicly rescue a small child.
  • String Theory: How Clover attempts to deduce the identity of the hater.
  • Toilet Humour: Julien builds a ship for his navy out of a urinal and underwear.
  • Visual Pun: Maurice's visual aid of Julien's approval poll takes the form of an approval pole.
