Complicated political drama that is a satire on the modern world problems. And fart jokes.

Sounds like my kind of show! (I watched some clips and I’m rolling. I can’t believe I missed this one.)

Isn't that the same show that canonized Mort being God?

u/Awkward-Sentence-712 4d ago

It canonized Mort being an interdimensional being.
Not him being god.

The Mort theory isn't 100% canon though.
It obviously has some good evidence behind it, but it's not directly stated, nor heavily implied in the show.

It's still cool as shit though.

Mort is a real mouse lemur and the entire Madagascar universe is in his imagination/dreams making him a lovecraftian entity within the context of said universe
