6	** Ursula brings up Ape's disappearance to George.

10	'''George:''' Ape got new hairdo?\
11	'''Ursula:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Ape. Is. Gone!]]\
12	'''George:''' Didn't think his hair look different.
13	** Then when George leaves.
14	--->'''Ursula:''' Don't forget where we live, dear!\
15	'''George:''' George remember! We live in tree. ''([[FailedASpotCheck takes one step and falls to the ground below]])'' Very high tree.
16	** George's [[NoSenseOfDirection utter lack of a sense of direction]] is in full force, which leads to a number of gems.
17	--->'''George:''' Hmm... tire tracks go that way. George take shortcut. Jungle intuition. Never wrong. ''(swings the other direction, [[WatchOutForThatTree with predictable results]])'' Sometimes painful, but never wrong.
18	** "Meanwhile, back in the jungle... wait, that's the Sahara Desert!"

29	!!1997 Film:
30
31	* Near the beginning of the opening animated sequence, a native in Africa puts on a wildebeest mask, attracting the attention of an actual wildebeest. Later, when the jungle's animals are swinging around on vines, [[BrickJoke among them is the wildebeest, still holding onto that native]]!
32	** One of those animals is a mouse [[note]]or a stylized pint-sized [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_antelope Royal Antelope]], judging by the tiny horns and how its shown jumping in the group scene with other jungle animals[[/note]] that doesn't just hit a tree, but smashes through it - twice!
33	* This opening bit from the Narrator after the opening animated sequence.
34	--> '''Narrator''': 25 years later the bouncing baby boy [[RaisedByWolves has grown into a swinging]] [[NatureHero Jungle]] [[NobleSavage King]]! He is swift, he is strong, he is sure, he is smart-
35	--> '''[[IdiotHero George]]''': ''([[RunningGag crashes into tree]])'' Ough! ''(falls down tree)'' Aaaaah! ''(faceplants in dirt)''
36	--> '''[[LemonyNarrator Narrator]]''': [[TheChosenZero He is unconscious]].
37	* Hiking through the jungle..
38	-->'''Narrator''': And so, onward and upward the [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal tired trekkers trudged on feverish footsies over perilous paths]]. When they finally beheld the mighty Ape Mountain, they reacted with awe!
39	-->'''Group''': [[FunWithHomophones Awwwww]]...
40	-->'''Narrator''': [[AmbiguousSyntax I said "Awe"]]. A-W-E.
41	-->'''Group''': Oooooh...
42	-->'''Narrator''': That's better.
43	* When George takes Ursula to his house and she faints upon seeing Ape talk:
44	-->'''George''': This funny-looking [[MythologyGag fella]].\
45	'''Ape''': Of course she is, George, she's the female of your species.\
46	'''George''': [[ObliviousAdoption ...George and Ape not brothers?]]\
47	'''Ape''': Well... in a sense we are. After all, we're both part of the primate family.\
48	'''George''': Ah. Primate family.\
49	[''later, when Ursula wakes up'']\
50	'''George''': Me name George. [[LiteralMinded George Primate]]. And that Ape. Ape Primate.
51	* One of the very few aversions of DontExplainTheJoke.
52	-->'''N'Dugo''': ''[[[NoFourthWall to the camera]]]'' [[RoadApples Bad guy falls in]] [[ToiletHumour poop]]! [[LampshadeHanging Classic element]] of [[ThePratfall physical comedy!]] [[ThisIsThePartWhere Now comes the part where we throw our heads back and laugh!]] Ready?\
53	'''Kip and Baleto:''' Ready!\
54	''[all[[note]]as in, the guides, the poachers, the orangutan in the background, and an assortment of unseen jungle animals[[/note]] burst into laughter]''
55	* The scene on the tugboat:
56	-->'''Everybody''': ''Watch out for that--''
57	-->(WHAM! [[GlassSmackAndSlide Squeee....]])
58	-->'''Everybody''': [[ThatsGottaHurt Oooooh...]]
59	* And Ursula's parents reacting to Ursula not wanting to marry Lyle anymore.
60	-->'''Beatrice and Arthur, smiling, in unison''': We understand, dear.
61	-->'''Ursula:''' ''[[HopeSpot sighs happily]]''
62	-->'''Narrator''': [[UnreliableNarrator Juuuust kidding!]]
63	-->'''Beatrice''': [[BigNo AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!]] ''([[SlowMotionDrop drops her wine glass, which falls and shatters in dramatic slow motion]])''
64	* Ursula explaining her adventures in Africa to her parents.
65	-->'''Narrator:''' The young Miss Stanhope proceeded to spill the beans.
66	--> *Ursula starts talking, then [[FastForwardGag rapidly speeds up]].
67	-->'''Narrator:''' ''Very'' quickly.
68	** The best part of that is that it was just Ursula being sped up while her parents stayed at normal speed and clearly confused out of their minds.
69	* And further proving the hilariousness of the narrator, the scene where Max and Thor, the BumblingHenchmenDuo, fight with him.
70	-->'''Max:''' ''(seeing that they've gone in a circle back to the treehouse)'' Oh, no!
71	-->'''Narrator:''' "Oh no" was right, for the exhausted ape-nappers--
72	-->'''Thor''': Hey, why don't you say something constructive for a change, like what we should do now?
73	-->'''Narrator''': Because I don't like you!
74	-->'''Thor''': Well, I hate you, you snotty [[CurseCutShort son of a-]]
75	-->'''Narrator''': I pretend I didn't hear that.
76	** And following that, while Ape is looking back and forth between them:
77	--->'''Max''': Thor, were you fighting with the narrator?\
78	'''Thor''': [[NeverMyFault Well, he started it]]!\
79	'''Narrator''': [[ArgumentOfContradictions Did not!]]\
80	'''Thor''': You did too!\
81	'''Narrator''': Did not!\
82	'''Thor''': You did too!\
83	'''Narrator''': Did not!\
84	'''Thor''': You did too!\
85	'''Max''': Thor! Stop it!
86	* The scene where Lyle [[EpicFail epically fails]] [[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels at speaking Swahili]]:
87	-->'''Lyle''': Pardon me, girls. I know you're feeling pretty hey sailor up here about now. But if you would just let me order a bowl of fried clams we can all have smallpox tomorrow morning.
88	** Double funny when he literally spits out the last word in the sentence in Swahili.
89	** The trio of guides' faces during the whole spiel make it extra funny: the big one is shaking his head in disgust, while the main one looks like he's sloooowly realizing [[{{Troll}} that this is going to be hilarious.]] By the end of it, he's got a big cheesy smile on his face and seems to be actively holding back laughter.
90	* Also, Lyle tries to impress the native guides with his "magic pictures" (an ordinary camera). One of them says something in Swahili that makes everyone (especially the translator) crack up as he pulls out ''a more modern camera'' and takes Lyle's picture with it. Lyle who somehow still confused requests a translation:
91	-->'''Kwame''': He says he likes your "magic pictures" but he prefers the resolution of the Leica 35mm transparencies. ''[laughs again]'' He also says that your lens is dirty, but he has the equipment to clean it for you.
92	* Lyle accidentally knocks one of the guides off a precariously-placed rope bridge. As he falls, the narrator chimes in.
93	-->'''Narrator''': Don't worry, [[NeverSayDie nobody dies in this story]]. They just get really big boo-boos. ''[cut to the guide covered in bandages, giving Lyle an epic DeathGlare]'' What did I tell you?\
94	'''Lyle''': [[NeverMyFault You know, they really shouldn't let inexperienced guides like that on these treks]].\
95	'''Guide''': ''(In Swahili, mocking)'' "I was on a bridge like this in Maui that was steady as a rock."
96	* Lyle is standing in a police line-up in Africa with the "usual suspects"... and not only is he the only white guy among the bunch, but everyone else is '''vastly''' different from him in height, weight, and gender. Naturally, the other candidates are dismissed as "too short," [[FanDisservice "too sweaty,"]] etc.
97	-->'''Guide:''' That's him! That's the guy who shot him! I never forget a face!
98	-->'''Lyle:''' Me?
99	-->'''All guides:''' [[RunningGag AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!]]
100	* These bits...
101	--> '''Lyle''': (about the guides) They're probably saying I'm the biggest jerk they've ever seen in their lives. Probably trying to think of something evil to do to me.
102	--> ''(in Swahili, subtitles)''
103	--> '''First guide''': That guy's the biggest jerk I've seen in my life.
104	--> '''Second guide''': Let's think of something evil to do to him.
105	--> ''(Later in the movie)''
106	--> '''Lyle''': The important thing, Kwame[[labelnote:Note]]Mispronouncing it like "Kwaym" instead of "Kwah-may".[[/labelnote]], is that I was outnumbered.
107	--> '''Guide''': ''(in Swahili)'' It's easy to be outnumbered when you're a zero.
108	--> '''Lyle''': Absolutely!
109	** Which is again made funnier with TheReveal that [[spoiler: the guides could speak English the whole time - they were just screwing with Lyle for fun]].
110	* Ursula's mother hassling her about her health over the phone upon her return from Africa:
111	-->'''Ursula:''' Yes, Mother, I'm safe.\
112	'''Beatrice:''' You're sure you didn't catch dengue fever?\
113	'''Ursula:''' ''No'', Mother, I did not catch dengue fever.\
114	'''Beatrice:''' Well how's your temperature?\
115	'''Ursula:''' ''(slaps a hand to her forehead)'' Normal.\
116	'''Beatrice:''' Color of your tongue?\
117	'''Ursula:''' ''(flips down a mirror and sticks her tongue out)'' Pink.\
118	'''Beatrice:''' What about your ''mm-hmm-hmm?''\
119	'''Ursula:''' ''(exasperated)'' ''Regular.''
120	* Upon arriving in the city, Ursula explains how the city is rougher than the jungle.
121	-->'''Ursula''': It's dog-eat-dog.
122	-->'''George''': [[LiteralMinded Dog eat dog. Dog eat dog here?]] George never bring Shep here, nope, nu-uh, never.
123	** Keep in mind, Shep is ''[[AllAnimalsAreDogs an elephant]]''.
124	* George sees a coffee commercial:
125	-->'''George''': [[SexForProduct Now George understand!]] George get coffee, then Ursula want George!
126	-->(George finds a can of coffee in Ursula's pantry and proceeds to ''eat the grounds'', sending him straight into a rush)
127	-->'''George''': Javajavajavajavajavajavajavajavajavajavajava...
128	* "To swing or not to swing? (beat) Swing."
129	* Ursula's mother attempts to call her daughter during the San Francisco abode part but is not there. She grows increasingly exasperated and demands that her daughter answer the phone to explain her reasons for hanging out with a man other than Lyle. Instead, George picks it up and lets out his trademark Tarzan yell, immediately surprising Ursula's mother.
130	-->'''Beatrice:''' Well, that was an overreaction.
131	* When Ursula goes to confess to her father about Lyle and George, she leaves him with the TV and snacks, but most of all, the instruction to "STAY HERE". The Narrator's incredulous, but...
132	-->'''Narrator''': "Stay here"!? George is king of the jungle! No walls built by modern man can contain him!
133	-->'''George''': ''(turning directly to the camera)'' Not true! George have every intention of doing exactly what Ursula say.
134	-->'''Narrator''': Really? Is that so?
135	-->'''George''': ''(grins sheepishly)'' ...For a while.
136	* When Ursula's mother goes to try and convince her not to go after George, her father sighs and mutters "God, that woman's a pain in the ass."
137	** And immediately after that line the narrator picks it up. "Meanwhile, halfway around the world, another ass was feeling pain..."
138	* When George starts fighting Max and Thor, Ape gives him some advice...
139	-->'''Ape''': George, remember everything I taught you about Queensberry Rules and fighting fair?\
140	'''George''': Uh huh.\
141	'''Ape''': [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope Well, now's a good time to forget it.]]\
142	'''George''': ''[proceeds to kick both Max and Thor in the [[GroinAttack family jewels]]]''
143	* George preparing to rescue Ursula by ''intentionally'' ramming himself into a tree:
144	-->'''George''': This biggest swing in jungle history. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Will hurt very much]]. But George have to do it! (cringes)
145	** Just before impact:
146	--->'''George''': This gonna hurt...
147	** And his deadpan monotone reaction afterwards after the impact, which pops out an ImpactSilhouette in the bark on the opposite side of the tree:
148	--->'''George''': George not feel so good...
149	* Ape [[CreditsGag interrupting the credits]] in order to show what happened to him: he now has a show on the UsefulNotes/LasVegas strip where he sings "[[Music/FrankSinatra My Way]]" to a reenactment of the movie's plot, with Max and Thor being forced to play the tree "George" and "Ursula" are supposed to crash into.
150
151	!!2003 sequel
152	* "Me new George! [[SelfDeprecation Studio too cheap to pay]] Creator/BrendanFraser!"
153	* When Lyle finally has had enough of the Narrator's comments, he snaps "Your constant interrupts are ''annoying''! There! Now what are you going to do about it?" Cue [[spoiler:a giant cartoon hand dropping out of the sky, picking up Lyle, and carrying him off]]. The Narrator then asks the remaining characters onscreen if they have any problems with his comments, and they all quickly say no.
154	* When Ursula has been hypnotized into thinking Lyle is her husband, she remains unimpressed with him. This leads to her asking a friend "Why did you let me marry such an idiot?"
155	* For the first time in history, [[SubvertedTrope George did]] ''[[SubvertedTrope not]]'' [[SubvertedTrope hit the tree he was aiming at]]. That did not stop him from [[DoubleSubversion hitting the next tree]].
156	* The Music/KennyRogers impersonator card dealer gets Ape so much.
157	-->'''Ape''': If you don't mind, could you stop singing?\
158	'''Card Dealer''': Sorry.
159	** The second time, Ape loses his temper and grabs the guy by the throat while the other patrons desperately try to restrain Ape.
160	--->'''Ape''': '''''DON’T SING!''''' I've had more pleasure listening to ''alligators'' singing than you, ya filthy bum!"
161	** The third time, the dealer is shown with ''his mouth taped'' and nervously going along with it.
162	* Whenever the characters mishear or misunderstand the Narrator and he has to repeat himself
163	** When George is teaching Junior the ways of the Jungle
164	--->'''Narrator''': "George was grooming his son to be the heir of the throne. ''[George is grooming Junior]'' Uh... George, that's "grooming him to be the heir", not "grooming his hair".\
165	'''George & Junior''': Oh...
166	** During the coconut-ball game
167	--->'''Narrator''': When suddenly, the game was interrupted by an urgent bongo gram. [''the gorillas are snoring''] I SAID "'''AN URGENT BONGO GRAM!!!'''" [''the gorillas wake up and immediately proceed drumming'']
168	** As George sends Tookie to get Ape
169	--->'''Narrator''': While Tookie was winging his way to Las Vegas, he-- ''[global view of Tookie flying to China]'' I said "'''''LAS VEGAS!!!'''''" ''[Tookie quickly changes his route towards Vegas]''
170	** This moment with Lyle's hench-women
171	--->'''Narrator''': Meanwhile, the dastardly duo of damsels, Sally & Kowalski were searching every nook and cranny. ''[Sally & Kowalski are pickpocketing an elderly woman]'' That's "cranny", not "granny!" ''[Sally & Kowalski promptly leave the old lady alone and run off to find George]''
172	* The narrator sets the scene:
173	-->'''Narrator''': Because of a remarkable trait of despicable dishonesty, Lyle had entered the poker game. See if you can figure out which one he is.\
174	''[View cuts to a man with a black mustache and hair and a silly looking gambling suit under a neon sign reading: LYLE!]''
175	* And again:
176	-->'''Narrator''': Back in Vegas, Lyle celebrated getting the deed in a typically mature fashion...\
177	'''Lyle''': ''([[DescriptionCut singing and skipping around the room]])'' I have the deed! I have the deed! This is the deed I have the--(''Beatrice trips him, sending him onto the nearby couch'') Ah! Oh!
178	* The big fight:
179	-->[George runs up to final bulldozer that is threatening to destroy the treehouse with Ursula in it! The bulldozer is guarded by Lyle's hench-women Sally and Kowalski]\
180	'''George''': George not hit women so appreciate it if women not hit George.\
181	'''Sally''': hehe! ''[Sally smiles and elbows George then punches him making him dangle from the bulldozer, smacking his head against several trees, Kowalski then climbs over to join Sally]'' \
182	[After George has been smacked against several trees Sally kicks him off, but George climbs back on this time to face Kowalski]\
183	'''George''': George realize that in order to save treehouse, boukuvou and entire Jungle lifestyle, George now have to hit woman, but in name of sportsmanship George give woman fighting chance! \
184	''[Kowalski grins, looks down to George's crotch and [[GroinAttack kicks him hard]] leaving George in agonizing pain]''\
185	'''George''': (strained) Note to George: rethink sportsmanship.\
186	''[George falls off the bulldozer, Sally and Kowalski turn into the bulldozer thinking they have won, but they see Rocky the Kangaroo poised to attack. The women scream as they are kicked in the face across the Jungle. Rocky hops after them and as they get up, showing no mercy, Rocky has an idea and jumps on the women's shoulders smacking them hard into the ground, grunting and squealing in the process, leaving them trapped unable to do any more harm .]''
