History Characters / GeorgeOfTheJungle

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Lyle was legitimately horrified when he shot George, as he assumed the gun he used to threaten him wasn't real. This doesn't stop him from continuing to antagonise George.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Downplayed since it's a family film. Still, he's pretty condescending and controlling of Ursula compared to George being respectful of her wishes, and treats the native guides like dumb savages unfamiliar with modern technology.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: '''So. Very. Much.''' Let's see; he assumes the rope bridge they're on is safe just because the kitschy touristy one he was on in Maui was safe. He tries to impress the native tour guides with his "magic pictures" only for them to reveal they like another camera model better; ''and'' his lens is dirty. He also carries around a novelty lighter that resembles a pistol and waves it around recklessly (which causes him to accidentally shoot George after the tour guides switch it for the real deal in a prank.)

* HyperCompetentSidekick: Unlike Lyle, who's completely out of his element in the jungle, Max knows the value of stealth, and has no problem tracking down George's treehouse.

* JerkassToOne: The guides are only ever nasty to Lyle, and even then they only really start after he pisses them off one too many times, while Beatrice is only around because the narrator won't let them throw her off the bridge (though he lets them continue to mess with her as consolation. They're perfectly nice to Ursula and even attend her wedding.

* GentleGiant: He's tall, built and incredibly strong and he's an absolute sweetheart.

* NiceGuy: Frequently described by the narrator as "Defender of the innocent, protector of the weak, and all-around good guy, George of the Jungle."

* NiceToTheWaiter: Nothing but friendly and respectful towards Kwame and the other guides. The contrast with Lyle is very noticeable.

* MrFanservice: Spends most of the film in a loincloth and briefly in his birthday suit (complete with {{Sexophone}}.) with before getting some spiffy threads.

Four African guides that Ursula hires to guide her on her trip, who end up forced along when Lyle takes over the expedition. They are not particularly fond of him.

Kwame is calm and reasonable and speaks for the group most of the time. Kip, N'Dugo, and Baleto ''apparently'' only speak Swahili, and are sarcastic {{Troll}}s who enjoy insulting Lyle behind his back... and to his face.

* UnexplainedRecovery: PlayedForLaughs. N'Dugo takes a huge fall off a rope bridge, only for the narrator to reassure the audience that "nobody dies in this story". Cut to a bandaged but alive N'Dugo, with no further explanation for how he survived.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Downplayed since it's a family film. Still, he's pretty condescending and controlling of Ursula compared to George being respectful of her wishes, and treats the native guides like dumb savages.

* JerkassToOne: The guides are only ever nasty to Lyle, and even then they only really start after he pisses them off one too many times, while Beatrice is only around because the narrator won't let them throw her off the bridge (though he lets them continue to mess with her as consolation
0. They're perfectly nice to Ursula and even attend her wedding.
* OnlySaneMan: Kwame is the most normal person in the whole film. He spends much of it getting increasingly exasperated, especially as he's the one who mostly has to deal with [[TheMillstone Lyle.]]

George's best friend, an ape named after his own species. He's much smarter than George, and is usually the one who has to get George out of trouble.

* IntellectualAnimal: He's one of the smartest characters in the show, with his intelligence and eloquence exceeding not only the other gorillas, but also most humans.
* IntelligentPrimate: He's an extremely intellectual, well-read, erudite gorilla who has effectively raised George. He mentions being personally acquainted with prominent primatologist Jane Goodall, helps George understand his complex emotions, and outwits the poachers who want to sell him to the circus. As a bonus, he has an upper class British accent courtesy of his voice actor, Creator/JohnCleese.

* SarcasticConfession: Inverted. Ape tells his kidnappers truthfully that the supposed "shortcut" they're on is a fake and taking a very-circuitous route that will ultimately lead them right back to the tree house. But due to his sarcastic delivery and obvious incentive to mislead them, they assume he's lying and push forward. Naturally, they end up right back at the tree house.

* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: '''So. Very. Much.''' Let's see; he assumes the rope bridge they're on is safe just because the kitschy touristy one he was on in Maui was safe.

Kwame is calm and reasonable, and speaks for the group most of the time. Kip, N'Dugo and Baleto ''apparently'' only speak Swahili, and are sarcastic {{Troll}}s who enjoy insulting Lyle behind his back... and to his face.

* BilingualBackfire: Kip, N'Dugo and Baleto turn out to be perfectly capable of speaking English, and just didn't feel inclined to do so around Lyle.

* DeadpanSnarker: Most of Kip, N'Dugo and Baleto's lines are them snarking in Swahili. Particularly Kip, who is the most vocal about hating Lyle.

* JerkassToOne: The guides are only ever nasty to Lyle, and even then they only really start after he pisses them off one too many times. They're perfectly nice to Ursula, and even attend her wedding.

* PlotArmor: N'Dugo falls off a rope bridge as Lyle keeps rocking it back and forth. Despite the ''very'' long fall to the river below, the narrator assures the audience that "Nobody dies in this story. They just get really big boo-boos." Right on cue, the following scene shows N'Dugo alive, covered in bandages and very pissed off.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She’s a sweet natured blonde who stands by Tom.

Tom’s recurring arch enemy.

Super Chicken’s lion sidekick.

* CatchPhrase: [[HumbleHero "George just lucky, I guess."]]

* {{Catchphrase}}: “There’s no such word as ‘X’ in ‘X’.”

* {{Sexophone}}:

* SarcasticConfession: Inverted. Ape tells his kidnappers truthfully that the trail they're on is a fake and taking them right back to the tree house. But due to his sarcastic delivery, they assume he's lying and push forward. Naturally, they end up right back at the tree house.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The narrator ominously describes to the audience how intruders are trespassing in George's kingdom. DescriptionCut to Ursula sweetly greeting the camera as she documents her trek through Africa, gushing over the animals and how sweet her native tour guides are.

Despite the ''very'' long fall to the river below, the narrator assures the audience that "Nobody dies in this story. They just get really big boo-boos." Right on cue, the following scene shows N'Dugo alive and well, covered in bandages and very pissed off.
