History Film / CarryOnUpTheJungle

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Ug remains barefoot throughout the movie. [[spoiler:Even when he's living in England and going to work in a well-paid job, he still doesn't wear shoes.]]

* MeaningfulName:
** Bill '''Boosey''' is TheAlcoholic.
** '''Leda''', the leader of the Lubi-Dubis.

* SophisticatedAsHell: Professor Tinkle, and in a lesser extent, Mr. Chumley, especially when compared to the lower-class Mr. Boosey.

* AncientAfrica: The Noshas. Religious jewelry made out of bones and gemstones, cannibalistic, and communicate with drums definitely makes them fit the bill. In the movie's version of Africa, it appears that parts of the continent have modernised, whereas Noshas are implied to use outdated customs, compared to the African natives in Western clothing that lead the expedition around.

** Presumably because there aren't any women around to flirt or have their way with, Mr. Chumley and Mr. Boosey become sexually-frustrated and flirt with Lady Bagley. They are also overly thrilled when the attractive female tribe that kidnaps them makes them sacrifices.

** Likewise we never hear the name of Edwina Carroll's character, but the script and a DeletedScene gives her the name Nerda.
* AmazonBrigade: The Lubi-Dubis, an all female tribe who need men to mate with them.

** June thinks Ug has joined her in bed, but turns on the light to see the gorilla.

** Professor Tinkle goes to meet Lady Bagley, but is horrified to find the gorilla in her bed.

-->'''Professor Tinkle''': Well I don't know, but whatever it is, it's certainly rubbing her up the wrong way.

** And InUniverse Upsidasi does whiteface to disguise himself as a Lubi-Dubi.

* CampStraight: Professor Tinkle lusts over Lady Bagley, but is played by the gay Creator/FrankieHowerd.

* CrashIntoHello: When the camp set up again in fear of the Noshas on the warpath, Mr. Chumley goes to urinate in the jungle before everyone goes to bed and crashes in Lady Bagley in the dark when he's trying to get back to camp. He tries to use this as an advantage to try and have his way with her, but is caught by Professor Tinkle.

** Lady Bagley again when she discovers Tonka the Great is in fact her long-lost husband Walter, and has been with the Lubi-Dubis all these years.

** Lady Bagley, looking for her missing husband and son.
** Bill Boosey failing to deal with sobriety and trying to get with Lady Bagley.
** Claude Chumley, helping Professor Tinkle find a rare bird, while trying to get with Lady Bagley.
** Professor Tinkle trying to find a rare bird for science, while trying to deal with being horny.
** June, helping Lady Bagley, stating that she isn't in the mood to be dating, then falling for Ug and beginning a platonic relationship.

* GreatWhiteHunter: Bill Boosey is an alcoholic parody, being so drunk he can't shoot a single thing.

-->'''Upsidasi''': No Boss, you aim good - but him in de wrong place.

* FlippingTheBird: Mr. Boosey, Professor Tinkle, Mr. Chumley and Walter all do the two-fingered variant in the photo of them seen at the end of the film, taken after they escaped from Afrodisia.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The trailer gives away TheReveal that Tonka the Great is actually Lady Bagley's husband Walter, and spoils the joke that this so-called lover of many is played by the camp Creator/CharlesHawtrey.

* {{Undercrank}}: PlayedForLaughs like in many other ''Film/CarryOn'' films.

The group is led around by Mr. Boosey's native African friend Upsidasi (Bresslaw) and set up camp, where they are terrorized by [[KillerGorilla a gorilla]] (Reuben Martin), [[CannibalTribe the Noshas]] and finally [[AmazonBrigade the Lubi-Dubis]], who are led by the dashing Leda (Valerie Leon), who may just hold the answers to what the explorers are looking for...

** The name of the leader of the Lubi-Dubis, Leda, is never mentioned in the film, but confirmed by the script and her actress Valerie Leon in the DVDCommentary.

The foppish Professor Inigo Tingle (Howerd) hopes to find the Oozlum bird in order to study its way of life, taking his horny partner Claude Chumley (Connor) along with him for extra help, until he becomes interested with the posh Lady Evelyn Bagley (Sims), who hopes to find her missing husband Walter (Hawtrey) and son Cecil years after their mysterious disappearances, but has to compete with the powerful hunter Bill Boosey (James), who is just as interested in the woman as Mr. Chumley. The final member of the group is Lady Bagley's maidservant June (Jacki Piper), who falls in love with Ug the jungle boy (Scott), and tries to teach him English.

--->'''Lady Bagley''': Ah, thank you June. I shall not require you anymore. You may take the evening off.

* InSeriesNickname: Mr. Boosey claims that he doesn't believe in superstitions, which is why he is nicknamed "Rattlesnake Bill". No one calls him this in the movie so it's unclear whether he does have this nickname or not.

** The name of the leader of the Lubi-Dubis, Leda, is never mentioned in the film, but confirmed by her actress Valerie Leon in the DVDCommentary.
** Likewise we never hear the name of Edwina Carroll's character, but cast lists give her the name Nerda.

* DisguisedInDrag: Upsidasi dresses up as a Lubi-Dubi to infiltrate Aphrodisia and tell the group how he plans to free himself.

* FlippingTheBird: Mr. Boosey, Professor Tinkle, Mr. Chumley and Walter all do the two-fingered variant in the photo of them seen at the end of the film, taken after they escaped from Aphrodisia.

* LadyLand: The all-female Lubi-Dubi tribe from the LostWorld of Aphrodisia; no male children have been born into the tribe for many years, so they are in danger of dying out unless they can find some men to father future generations.

* LostWorld: The lost world of Aphrodisia, in the heart of DarkestAfrica and populated by the entirely female Lubi-Dubi tribe (and one lost Englishman).

* OutWithABang: When Leda explains that the last man in Aphrodisia died years ago, Mr. Chumley remarks it isn't hard to guess what from.

** The LostWorld of attractive women is called '''Aphrodisia''', while the attractive women are known as the '''Lubi-Dubis''', or "lubby dubbies" which is slang for attractive young women.

* ShoutOut: Leda wears a dress in the mating ceremony is similar to one that Creator/RaquelWelch wore in ''Film/OneMillionYearsBC''

Like many ''Film/CarryOn'' movies, the story is set around a RagtagBunchOfMisfits that meet up in a mundane location. This time, the team meet up in an expedition in DarkestAfrica with plans to camp out for as long as possible until they've found what they've wanted.

The foppish Professor Inigo Tingle (Howerd) hopes to find an exotic bird in order to study its way of life, taking his horny partner Claude Chumley (Connor) along with him for extra help, until he becomes interested with the posh Lady Evelyn Bagley (Sims), who hopes to find her missing husband Walter (Hawtrey) and son Cecil years after their mysterious disappearances, but has to compete with the powerful hunter Bill Boosey (James), who is just as interested in the woman as Mr. Chumley.

The group is led around by Mr. Boosey's native African friend Upsidasi (Bresslaw) and set up camp, where they are terrorized by the natural surroundings and eventually their own {{UST}}. Then Lady Bagley's maidservant June (Jacki Piper) goes missing and becomes the social interest of jungle boy Ug (Scott), who she tries to teach English to.

The group is led around by Mr. Boosey's native African friend Usidaisi (Bresslaw) and set up camp, where they are terrorized by the natural surroundings and eventually their own {{UST}}. Then Lady Bagley's maidservant June (Jacki Piper) goes missing and becomes the social interest of jungle boy Ug (Scott), who she tries to teach English to.

The foppish Professor Inigo Tingle (Howerd) hopes to find an exotic bird in order to study its way of life, taking his horny partner Claude Chumley (Connor) along with him for extra help. Chumley soon becomes interested with the posh Lady Evelyn Bagley (Sims), who hopes to find her missing husband Walter (Hawtrey) and son Cecil years after their mysterious disappearances, but has to compete with the powerful hunter Bill Boosey (James), who is just as interested in the woman as Chumley.

The group is led around by Boosey's native African friend Usidaisi (Bresslaw) and set up camp, where they are terrorized by the natural surroundings and eventually their own {{UST}}.

--->'''Mr. Boosey''': Blimey, what's that? [[OhCrap ELEPHANTS!]]

** Professor Tinkle, Mr. Boosey and Claude have to deal with the fat and unattractive Lubi-Dubis during their mating ceremonies.

** Presumably because there aren't any women around to flirt or have their way with, Claude and Mr. Boosey become sexually-frustrated and flirt with Lady Bagley. They are also overly thrilled when the attractive female tribe that kidnaps them makes them sacrifices.

** Claude then comes face to face with Ug soon after her.

** Professor Tinkle is also taller than Claude, his little assistant.
* BigThinShortTrio: When the three British men of the group are set up to mate with the Lubi-Dubi women, Professor Tinkle is the big guy, Mr. Boosey is the thin guy, and Claude is the short guy.

* BumblingSidekick: Professor Tinkle's assistant Claude, who spends most of his time lusting over Lady Bagley or getting into misfortunes.

* CrashIntoHello: When the camp set up again in fear of the Noshas on the warpath, Claude goes to urinate in the jungle before everyone goes to bed and crashes in Lady Bagley in the dark when he's trying to get back to camp. He tries to use this as an advantage to try and have his way with her, but is caught by Professor Tinkle.

** Mr. Boosey and Claude when around the Lubi-Dubi tribe.

** Claude does so when he sees the gorilla in the tree next to him, causing him to fall out of the tree.

* FlippingTheBird: Boosey, Tinkle, Claude and Walter all do the two-fingered variant in the photo of them seen at the end of the film, taken after they escaped from Aphrodisia.

** After being captured by the Noshas, Claude notes that Upsidasi was able to escape and hopes that he went for help. [[spoiler:Later on, we find that he did.]]

** Claude, helping Professor Tinkle find a rare bird, while trying to get with Lady Bagley.

* {{Gasshole}}: Mr. Boosey burps at dinner to the disgust of Claude.

* HellYesMoment: In the final mating ceremony, Professor Tinkle, Mr. Boosey and Claude get this when, instead of the unattractive women they have been getting every ceremony thus far, they find the mates they have been given this time are slim and attractive.
* HopelessSuitor: Professor Tinkle, Mr. Boosey and Claude to Lady Bagley - the latter two being much more forceful than the first. Lady Bagley has no interest in any of them, in case her husband Walter turns out alive, but she hints that if she were to end up with any of them, she'd go for Professor Tinkle (she kisses his cheek when he escorts her back to her tent in the dark).

* JungleOpera: The film is a parody of this, with the exploring party having different reasons of being on the trip, such as Lady Bagley searching for her missing son Cecil, and Professor Tinkle and Claude looking for exotic birds.

* NaughtyBirdWatching: Claude at a showering Lady Bagley; he falls out of the tree he's spying in after realizing a giant gorilla is watching him watch her.

** Mr. Boosey warns Claude the first law of the jungle is no widdling in the camp area, ordering him to go into the jungle to relieve himself.

* OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace: The Lubi-Dubis hope to get this from the men, as they have had no male births for many years. Mr. Boosey and Claude want the sex, but probably don't want to be fathers yet.
* OutWithABang: When Leda explains that the last man in Aphrodisia died years ago, Claude remarks it isn't hard to guess what from.
* ThePeepingTom: Claude watches Lady Bagley have a shower, then when Professor Tinkle catches him, he sends him away so he can watch her himself.

** The rest of the male characters remain clean-shaven as well, even though there are no scenes of them grooming. Mr. Boosey probably has stubble because many "bad boy" Creator/SidJames characters do, but Professor Tinkle and Claude are more likely to carry razors out of the entire cast, considering how high their authority. Meanwhile, Upsidasi and his hired help either don't grow as much facial hair or have special materials to shave with.

* SanitySlippage: Claude freaks out after being overworked during the mating ceremonies for three months straight.

** When Ug's attempted rescue goes wrong and sets off the ammunition crates, June pulls Ug out of the pot he's stuck in and the two flee, while Upsidasi sees them leave and gets the same idea, all three leaving Professor Tinkle, Claude, Mr. Boosey and Lady Bagley behind.
** Double-subverted later. Professor Tinkle, Mr. Boosey and Claude decide to do this after three months with the Lubi-Dubis, having grown fed up of being given unattractive mates. When they get given attractive mates, they decide to stay. But then Ug, thinking the three are in danger due to the soldiers aiming guns in their direction, makes an elephant call, coincidentally the same signal Mr. Boosey said he would give to Upsidasi to get the soldiers to open fire. The men reluctantly agree that they'll have to go now, with Tonka and Lady Bagley leaving with them.

* SmoochOfVictory: When Professor Tinkle catches Claude trying to have his way with Lady Bagley, he takes her back to camp through the dark, and she kisses his cheek to show her gratitude.

* SophisticatedAsHell: Professor Tinkle, and in a lesser extent, Claude, especially when compared to the lower-class Mr. Boosey.

* ToiletHumour: A baboon poops on Claude's binoculars while he peers through them.

** When Professor Tinkle and Claude run from the gorilla.

* UnwantedRescue: Just as Professor Tinkle, Mr. Boosey, Claude and Walter are about to get the chance to make love to beautiful Lubi-Dubis, Ug makes an elephant call which Upsidasi mistakes for the rescue signal and deprives the four of their chance to have it off.

->'''Bill''': Well Upsidasi, what do those drums say?\\

** Professor Tinkle, Bill and Claude have to deal with the fat and unattractive Lubi-Dubis during their mating ceremonies.

** Presumably because there aren't any women around to flirt or have their way with, Claude and Bill become sexually-frustrated and flirt with Lady Bagley. They are also overly thrilled when the attractive female tribe that kidnaps them makes them sacrifices.

* BigThinShortTrio: When the three British men of the group are set up to mate with the Lubi-Dubi women, Professor Tinkle is the big guy, Bill is the thin guy, and Claude is the short guy.

-->'''Bill''': Wonder what's up with her?

** Bill accidentally shoots a few bearers, who don't seem to bleed.

* BriefAccentImitation: Bill copies June's voice so he can watch her shower without getting caught.

** Professor Tinkle has something snarky to say anytime someone (usually Bill) gets on his nerves.
** Bill is quite snarky too though.

--->'''Bill''': Get away.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Bill's plan to dig a pit to trap the Noshas. Everyone ends up digging a pit so deep that they themselves get trapped in it. Tinkle asks how they are supposed to get out, and Bill simply says, "Yes, well, like I said, it never fails." Immediately after that, they get captured.

** Bill and Claude when around the Lubi-Dubi tribe.

* EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep: Bill claims that he doesn't believe in superstitions, which is why he is nicknamed "Rattlesnake". No one calls him this in the movie so it's unclear whether he does have this nickname or not.
* ExactWords: Bill asks Upsidasi what the JungleDrums say, so Upsidasi tells him "Boom diddy, boom diddy, boom boom boom".

** June and Lady Bagley both do this on the same night in Bill's tent. June faints in Bill's arms after discovering the gorilla in her tent. Then, after realising Ug is her long-lost son, she bursts into Bill's tent, and has just enough time to say his name before she also passes out. He gloomily lampshades it.
--->'''Bill''': Why do I always have that effect on 'em?

** When talking about not hearing any JungleDrums, Upsidasi tells Bill that women in a tribe like to stuff bones in their nostrils. When meeting the Lubi-Dubis, one of their chants are, "Tonka, Tonka - stick it up your honker".

* {{Gasshole}}: Bill burps at dinner to the disgust of Claude.
-->'''Bill''': Better than sneaking it out in other ways, innit?

-->'''Bill''': Did I get him?

* HellYesMoment: In the final mating ceremony, Professor Tinkle, Bill and Claude get this when, instead of the unattractive women they have been getting every ceremony thus far, they find the mates they have been given this time are slim and attractive.
* HopelessSuitor: Professor Tinkle, Bill and Claude to Lady Bagley - the latter two being much more forceful than the first. Lady Bagley has no interest in any of them, in case her husband Walter turns out alive, but she hints that if she were to end up with any of them, she'd go for Professor Tinkle (she kisses his cheek when he escorts her back to her tent in the dark).

* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Bill tells the group he refuses to stay in the clearing they've arrived at. Then he hears the Noshas' JungleDrums and barks out orders to set the tents up.

* JungleDrums: When the bearers hear the Noshas' drums, they refuse to go any further lest they be eaten by cannibals. Bill isn't convinced that cannibals even exist, but Upsidasi explains it to him.

* MagicalNegro: Upsidasi who guides Bill and the others up the jungle.

* NativeGuide: Upsidasi to Bill and the rest of the party.

* NeverMyFault: Bill convinces the Noshas that Professor Tinkle is a wizard, but when the reluctant Professor's improvisation goes wrong, Bill blames him for ruining their escape chances.

** Bill warns Claude the first law of the jungle is no widdling in the camp area, ordering him to go into the jungle to relieve himself.

** After escaping from the Lubi-Dubis, Bill and the others realise there are elephants coming their way from Ug's elephant call. Upsidasi has one too when the elephants appear.
--->'''Bill Boosey''': Blimey, what's that? [[OhCrap ELEPHANTS!]]

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Bill's first name is William, although he only gets called this before the first mating ceremony.

* OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace: The Lubi-Dubis hope to get this from the men, as they have had no male births for many years. Bill and Claude want the sex, but probably don't want to be fathers yet.

** The rest of the male characters remain clean-shaven as well, even though there are no scenes of them grooming. Bill probably has stubble because many "bad boy" Creator/SidJames characters do, but Professor Tinkle and Claude are more likely to carry razors out of the entire cast, considering how high their authority. Meanwhile, Upsidasi and his hired help either don't grow as much facial hair or have special materials to shave with.
* PitTrap: Bill makes the group dig one to trap the Noshas. The only problem is they dig so far down they have no way to get out themselves.

-->'''Bill''': See all that? Elephant's.

** When Upsidasi's hired help hear the JungleDrums, they abandon the area, thinking it's the messages of the cannibalistic Nosha tribe. Bill even says afterwards that they won't see them again.
** When Bill hears the Noshas, he immediately tells the group they need to take the bare essentials and leave instantly.
** When Ug's attempted rescue goes wrong and sets off the ammunition crates, June pulls Ug out of the pot he's stuck in and the two flee, while Upsidasi sees them leave and gets the same idea, all three leaving Professor Tinkle, Claude, Bill and Lady Bagley behind.
** Double-subverted later. Professor Tinkle, Bill and Claude decide to do this after three months with the Lubi-Dubis, having grown fed up of being given unattractive mates. When they get given attractive mates, they decide to stay. But then Ug, thinking the three are in danger due to the soldiers aiming guns in their direction, makes an elephant call, coincidentally the same signal Bill said he would give to Upsidasi to get the soldiers to open fire. The men reluctantly agree that they'll have to go now, with Tonka and Lady Bagley leaving with them.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: The reason why June is single. She overlooks most of the men (including the suspicious behaviour of Bill) and says that she is saving herself for someone special. Then the ignorant jungle boy Ug turns up and she falls in love.
* SlippingIntoStink: Bill trips Professor Tinkle and sends him into a pile of elephant droppings.
-->'''Bill''': Right in it.

* SomethingElseAlsoRises: When spotting Lady Bagley in the shower, Bill's gun raises up.

* SophisticatedAsHell: Professor Tinkle, and in a lesser extent, Claude, especially when compared to the lower-class Bill.

-->'''Bill''': Oh, no. Nothing as barbaric as that. They just drain the all the blood out of us first.

* TemptingFate: Walter shows up in the men's tent to wish them luck in the mating ceremony, making Bill laugh him off and claim they won't need it. At the ceremony, the women that are up to be ravished are chubby and unattractive, who have to drag the screaming men into their cubicles in order to begin the tradition.

* UnwantedRescue: Just as Professor Tinkle, Bill, Claude and Walter are about to get the chance to make love to beautiful Lubi-Dubis, Ug makes an elephant call which Upsidasi mistakes for the rescue signal and deprives the four of their chance to have it off.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Lady Bagley's keeps a photograph of her (then) newborn son Cecil in her cleavage. When showing it to the rest of the camp, Bill shows a look of disappointment, probably hoping that she was going to whip out her breasts.

* PeepingTom: Claude watches Lady Bagley have a shower, then when Professor Tinkle catches him, he sends him away so he can watch her himself.
