However, the penguins take over the ship and the four friends are washed up on the shores of Madagascar. His friends, Alex the Lion, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippopotamus flag him down, but as they're about to take him back to the zoo, police officers appear in all directions, tranquilize the animals, and send them on a ship to Kenya. He escapes the Central Park Zoo, in which he lives, and makes a dash for the wild. His friends try to give him a great birthday, but somehow, Marty wants more. The movie opens on Marty’s 10th birthday (middle-aged for a zebra). In reality, no zebras share the same exact pattern of stripes. He is voiced by Thomas Stanley (in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa) and Amir O'Neil as a child (in Madagascar: A Little Wild) and Chris Rock as an adult.Īt one point in the first movie, Alex says he's black with white stripes, which is true for all zebras, as he has 30 black, and only 29 white, but this was partly due to the fact that Alex had to give an explanation as to why he was licking Marty, as he thought he was the steak in his dream.Īlso often Marty mentions that he is black with white stripes, although, in the herd of zebras, very few zebras have their exact stripes pattern. At one point in the movie, Alex says he's black with white stripes, as he has 30 black, and only 29 white, but this was partly due to the fact that Alex had to give an explanation as to why he was licking Marty, as he thought he was the steak in his dream. Marty decided, then, that he must travel to the wild, for at least a short time, never having seen the wild. In the beginning, Marty lived a life of comfort in the zoo, but comfort led to boredom and Marty soon saw that his tenth birthday came and went and with that, his life was halfway in. He is a zebra who lived at the Central Park Zoo, and a best friend of Alex. Marty also appears as a minor character Penguins of Madagascar movie and a central protagonist in the online prequel series Madagascar: A Little Wild. He is the deuteragonist of Madagascar and Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, and the tritagonist of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Smith made headlines recently when he slapped Rock who was hosting the Academy Awards after he made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith's appearance.Īlong with the spoof video, the YouTuber admitted he couldn't resist creating the scene and tweeted: "I had to do it.Marty the Zebra is the deuteragonist of the Madagascar franchise. "Oh wow," Marty's face mimes Rock's dazed reaction.

In an animated crossover no one expected, YouTuber Lolathon ( created an animated version of the scene, with Smith replaced as his character Oscar the comical fish from the 2004 film Shark's Tale, while Rock is his character from Madagascar (2005), the excitable zebra Marty. From comedic parodies to being given the remix treatment, the internet has certainly been creative when it comes to covering Will Smith's now-infamous smack on Chris Rock at this year's Oscars - but now it has been reimagined as two of Smith's and Rock's most iconic characters.
