The Penguins of Madagascar Season 2 Episode 44 Cute-Astrophe Episode Title:Cute-Astrophe.Episode Description:After zoo visitors are not impressed enough with the penguins' display of cuteness to toss them fish, Kowalski uses a machine to gauge the cuteness levels of Rico and Private. When intentionally posed in a certain fashion, Private registers at 132 percent, a level capable of knocking out the others. The team later begins to use Private's cuteness-knockout skill to their advantage, but Private later refuses to employ it after many bad and abusive usages ordered by Skipper. When the penguins are caught outside their habitat and caged, still Private resists using his cuteness as a weapon to help them escape, even when the team is scheduled to be shipped to Copenhagen, Denmark, where Skipper fears returning. When Private tries to flee, the others chase after him, with all four moving their cages about like hamster balls, which zoo visitors find cute. In response to the visitors' protests, Alice lets the penguins stay in New York. In the end, Skipper and the others learn their lesson and agree to respect Private's wishes and stop using the hyper-cute.
