** Then again, Barbary macaques are found only in northern Africa (as well as southern Spain) and not the African jungle where George is clearly from. Chimpanzees ''are'' found in that geographic area and George does resemble a chimpanzee. As for why he's called a "monkey", well it's not that unusual. Many "monkeys" in films are actually chimpanzees. Some people just don't know the difference. In fact, some people will call pretty much any kind of non-human primate a monkey. (Even King Kong has been called a monkey before, even though he is clearly an ape.)

* The Man in the Yellow Hat has consistently been shown to be a scientist whenever the plot addresses his job ([[OmnidisciplinaryScientist though what kind of scientist he is varies from episode to episode]]). It makes perfect sense that he would be a scientist; what other profession would someone qualified to care for a monkey have?

* In one episode, the Man with the Yellow Hat [[SickEpisode has a cold or the flu or something]]. When George hears that his neighbour's cat was lethargic during her pregnancy, he remembers that the man is lethargic too, and [[AssociationFallacy concludes]] that he is going to have kittens. While this is obviously not true, if it ''were'' true, then the kittens would have to either be {{Chest Burster}}s, be vomited up, or come out through the man's [[GroinAttack urethra]] or [[JokeOfTheButt his butt]]. Highly unpleasant whatever would have happened.

* At the end of ''Curious George Flies a Kite'', Bill gives one of his baby bunnies to George as a pet and the last page shows George feeding his new baby bunny a carrot. Since the baby bunny is not seen again in the original books, this means one of two things: either George couldn't [[UnsuccessfulPetAdoption ultimately keep the bunny]] or perhaps it died in the interim, likely due to George's irresponsibility!

* Meta example: I always thought that throwing Curious George (essentially a small child) in jail for accidently calling the fire department was ridiculous DisproportionateRetribution. Learning that the Reys wrote the book shortly after coming to America (escaping from Paris just before the Nazis came nonetheless!) made me realize that the scene probably reflects a common immigrant fear: that you will accidently break a law you didn't know existed and be punished harshly.

* There's a lot of debate over whether George is actually a "monkey" or a chimpanzee. However, those debates are moot if one considers the possibility that George is a Barbary macaque--a tailless monkey that does, in fact, live in Africa.

* George is a baby chimpanzee that the Man in the Yellow Hat appears to be raising as a human child. That's fine as far as that goes, but eventually George is going to grow up and hit puberty. Baby chimps are cute and all, but an adult chimp is phenomenally strong and can be very aggressive, as several people in real life have discovered. How long is it going to be before the police find the Man in the Yellow Hat beaten to death with his own arm?
