History Film / CarryOnUpTheJungle

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. Clumley 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 Clumley.

-->-- '''Bill Boosey and Upsidasi''', trying to translate the JungleDrums.

** 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."

* AllThereInTheScript: 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.

* ShaggyDogStory: After all the trouble everyone went to trying to find the Oozlum bird, when Professor Tinkle unveils it at the end of the film [[spolier:he discovers it has escaped.]]

-->--'''Bill Boosey and Upsidasi''', trying to translate the JungleDrums.

-->'''June''': The drums have stopped.
-->'''Bill''': Get away.

* {{Blackface}}: Upsidasi, played by the white Creator/BernardBresslaw.

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}}. Then Bagley's assistant June (Piper) goes missing and becomes the social interest of jungle boy Ugh (Scott), who she tries to teach English to.

* AffectionateParody: Of ''Literature/{{Tarzan}}'', specifically June and Ugh's subplot.

* AsideComment: When June teaches Ugh to count, he gets to [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything six]] and drags her into his hut. As she's being dragged away, she looks at the audience and mumbles to herself.

* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:The closing shot reveals Ugh and June in their treehouse, and June has a baby-sized bundle in her arms.]]

* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler:The final scene shows Ugh arriving at a house and walking up the front path, only for him to turn around halfway up and start ascending the ladder to a new treehouse, where he now lives with June.]]

** June thinks Ugh has joined her in bed, but turns on the light to see the gorilla.
** Lady Bagley thinks Professor Tinkle has joined her, but instead meets Ugh.
** Claude then comes face to face with Ugh soon after her.

* CaptainErsatz: June and Ugh take clear inspiration from [[Literature/{{Tarzan}} Jane and Tarzan]].
* CapturedByCannibals: At one point, the explorers are captured by the cannibalistic Noshas. Professor Tinkle tries to buy them off with his pocket watch, but when Ugh's rescue attempt accidentally sets off a series of explosions, the Noshas re-apprehend the party and prepare to make them that evening's main course.
* CarpetOfVirility: Ugh has light chest hair the he is seen brushing when he's getting ready to meet June. When the gorilla sneaks into June's tent, she is convinced that he is him in the darkness because of his hairiness.

* ChekhovsGun: Lady Bagley mentions that she never found her infant son Cecil's nappy pin after he went missing. [[spoiler:After accidentally tearing off Ugh's loincloth, she sees the nappy pin in it and realises he is her long-lost son.]]

* ComedicUnderwearExposure: Ugh has to run around wearing bloomers after briefly losing his LoinCloth.

** Ugh sort of is, but not in a sexual way. When he notices the protruding chests of Lady Bagley and June, he becomes curious, and concerned that they're different to his chest.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Ugh 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.]]

** 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 Ugh 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.

** June, helping Lady Bagley, stating that she isn't in the mood to be dating, then falling for Ugh and beginning a platonic relationship.

* FurBikini: June dons one after she goes off with Ugh.

* GotMeDoingIt: Happens to June as she teaches Ugh English.
-->'''Ugh''': There. Was batter?

* ImpactSilhouette: Ugh crashes into a tree and the shape of his body is left in the bark as he falls off.

* JunglesSoundLikeKookaburras: The movie surprisingly subverts this, however, the kookaburra laugh can be heard when Ugh tries to make a dramatic entrance in front of June and falls upside down in the lake nearby. Although, you could interpret it as an AnimalReactionShot from an African bird that was watching nearby.

* LoinCloth: Ugh, having never lived in a society that expects people to be fully clothed, spends most of the movie wearing nothing but a loin cloth. At one point, he is [[ComedicUnderwearExposure caught in bloomers]].

* MarshmallowHell: After Lady Bagley is reunited with Ugh, she hugs him by pressing the side of his head against her chest.

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Ugh briefly loses his LoinCloth and has to run around naked before finding some bloomers he can wear.

* NatureHero: Ugh has spent almost his entire life in the jungle, and has a strong rapport with the local wildlife. In the film's climax, he calls forth a stampede of animals to give the explorers a chance to escape the Lubi-Dubis. [[spoiler:Even when he returns to England with his parents at the end of the film, he and June live in a treehouse in a London suburb.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: After the Noshas decide to let the group go, Professor Tinkle's big mouth and Ugh's failed rescue attempt has them all to be put to death.

* NoFullNameGiven: We don't find out June's surname, [[spoiler:although judging by the ending it's likely she became June Bagley after marrying Ugh.]]

** June has one when she discovers the gorilla in her tent, thinking it was Ugh.
** After escaping from the Lubi-Dubis, Bill and the others realise there are elephants coming their way from Ugh's elephant call. Upsidasi has one too when the elephants appear.

** For being the age to grow facial hair, Walter and Ugh are clean-shaven throughout their appearances. Perhaps the Lubi-Dubis have types of rocks in their village that Walter can use as razors, but Ugh has grown up with no humans so it's unlikely that he was taught how to shave. Maybe it was the monkeys...

* PostKissCatatonia: When June smooches Ugh, he briefly freezes and pulls her in enthusiastically for another.

** When Ugh's attempted rescue goes wrong and sets off the ammunition crates, June pulls Ugh 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 Ugh, 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.

* SexySoakedShirt: June is soaked after her swim with Ugh, and her wet clothing allows us to see her breasts.

* 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 Ugh turns up and she falls in love.

* StuffBlowingUp: Ugh's attempt to rescue the group from the Noshas results in the ammunition crates catching fire and exploding.

* TarzanBoy: Ugh, what with the LoinCloth and use of VineSwing to get around.

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

* VineSwing: Ugh uses this to travel around the jungle. He often ends up landing head first.

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Several characters (Ugh, the Noshas, the bearers) are almost constantly shirtless.
* WardrobeMalfunction: Lady Bagley accidentally rips off Ugh's LoinCloth.
* WatchOutForThatTree: Constantly occurs with Ugh when he bangs his face into trees.
* WholePlotReference: Ugh and June's subplot is a parody of ''Literature/{{Tarzan}}''.

* AllThereInTheScript: The name of the leader of the Lubi-Dubis, Leda, is never mentioned in the film.

* EitherOrTitle: ''Carry On Up the Jungle'' or ''The African Queens'' or ''Stop Beating About the Bush'' or ''Show Me Your Waterhole and I'll Show You Mine''.

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

** 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-Dubi tribe, one of their chants are, "Tonka, Tonka - stick it up your honker."

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

* JungleDrums: When the bearers hear the Nosha's 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.

* MeaningfulName: Bill '''Boosey''' is TheAlcoholic.
* MightyWhitey: King Tonka AKA Walter Bagley is probably one of the least mighty examples of this trope in all fiction; after the Lubi-Dubi tribe saved him from being eaten by the Noshas years earlier, they declared him their king in the hope that he could sire some male Lubi-Dubis to sustain the tribe.

* NatureHero: Ugh has spent almost his entire life in the jungle, and has a strong rapport with the local wildlife. In the film's climax, he calls forth a stampede of animals to give the explorers a chance to escape the Lubi-Dubi tribe. [[spoiler:Even when he returns to England with his parents at the end of the film, he and June live in a treehouse in a London suburb.]]

** After escaping from the Lubi-Dubi tribe, Bill and the others realise there are elephants coming their way from Ugh's elephant call. Upsidasi has one too when the elephants appear.

* OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace: The Lubi-Dubi tribe 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.

** For being the age to grow facial hair, Walter and Ugh are clean-shaven throughout their appearances. Perhaps the Lubi-Dubi tribe have types of rocks in their village that Walter can use as razors, but Ugh has grown up with no humans so it's unlikely that he was taught how to shave. Maybe it was the monkeys...

** Double-subverted later. Professor Tinkle, Bill and Claude decide to do this after three months in the Lubi-Dubi tribe, having grown fed up of being given unattractive mates. When they get given attractive mates, they decide to stay. But then Ugh, 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.
* SexGod: Invoked with Walter, who is made the sperm donor of the Lubi-Dubi tribe.

-->'''Lady Bagley''': Ah, thank you June. I shall not require you anymore. You may take the evening off.
-->'''June''': In the middle of the jungle? Big deal!

-->'''Bill''': Why do I always have that effect on 'em?

-->'''Bill Boosey''': Blimey, what's that? [[OhCrap ELEPHANTS!]]
-->'''Upsidasi''': Umballa! Umballa!

-->'''Professor Tinkle''': That's all we need... kosher Noshas!

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

* AbhorrentAdmirer: The gorilla, who finds both Lady Bagley and June attractive.

* Gasshole: Bill burps at dinner to the disgust of Claude.

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

* WardrobeMalfuction: Lady Bagley accidentally rips off Ugh's LoinCloth.

* AncientAfrica: The Nosha tribe. 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.

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

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}}. Then Bagley's assistant June (Piper) goes missing and becomes the social interest of jungle boy Ugh (Scott), who she tries to teach social skills to.

* CapturedByCannibals: At one point, the explorers are captured by the cannibalistic Noshas. Professor Tinkle tries to buy them off with his pocket watch, but when Ugh's rescue attempt accidentally sets off a series of explosions, the Noshas re-apprehend the party and prepare to make them that evening's main course.

** When Upsidasi's hired help hear of 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.

* {{Undercrank}}: A couple of scenes have this, such as the gorilla turning up in the portapotty and characters running around.

* CapturedByCannibals: At one point, the explorers are captured by the cannibalistic Nosha tribe. Professor Tinkle tries to buy them off with his pocket watch, but when Ugh's rescue attempt accidentally sets off a series of explosions, the Noshas re-apprehend the party and prepare to make them that evening's main course.
* CannibalTribe: The Nosha tribe that kidnap the party are believed to be this, which is why the native help that Upsidasi has organised leaves the party stranded.

* CrashIntoHello: When the camp set up again in fear of the Nosha tribe 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.

** The LostLand 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.

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

* WalkingShirtlessEpisode: Several characters (Ugh, the Noshas, the bearers) are almost constantly shirtless.

A 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. Clumley 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 Clumley.

* TheAlcoholic: Bill, who takes swigs from bottles of wine when he hopes the characters aren't looking.

* BigGuyLittleGuy

** 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 Ugh 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 with this: "Why do I always have that effect on 'em?"
** Lady Bagley again when she discovers Tonka is in fact her long-lost husband, and has been with the Lubi-Dubi tribe all these years.

* FlashbackWithinAFlashback: Lady Bagley and Walter's conversation features a flashback to the day of Walter's disappearance in a film that is an entire flashback.
* 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.

* 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.

* OnlyOneName: The MativeGuide, Upsidasi.

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

-->'''Walter''': ''[cooing]'' Did Mumsy-wumsy forget to take the babsy-wabsy to the potsy-wotsy? Yes, she did, then, the lazy cow... sy-wowsy.''

* 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 Inigo (she kisses his cheek when he escorts her back to her tent in the dark).
* HowWeGotHere: The movie's events happened ages ago and is being told to a birdwatching audience by Tinkle.
* ImAHumanitarian: The Noshas are explictly stated to be cannibals, and come very close to serving up the main characters.

* JungleDrums: When the bearers hear the Nosha tribe's drums, they refuse to go any further lest they be eaten by cannibals. Prof Tinkle isn't convinced that cannibals even exist, but Upsidasi claims that the first set of drums means "Lay the table for five", while the second means "Yum yum!"

* KillerGorilla: The one that turns up at the camp and other parts of the movie.

* LoinCloth: Ugh, having never lived in a society that expects people to be fully clothed, spends most of the movie wearing nothing but a loin cloth. At one point, he is [[ComedicUnderwearExposure caught in lady bloomers]].

* MagicalNegro: Upsidasi to Bill.
* ManlyMenCanHunt: Bill Boosey, putting him at an advantage to Lady Bagley's other suitors.
* MeaningfulName: Bill Boosey is TheAlcoholic.

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

* NeverMyFault: Bill convinces the Nosha tribe that Inigo is a wizard, but when the reluctant Tinkle's improvisation goes wrong, Bill blames him for ruining their escape chances.
* NobodyPoops: Averted. 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. In Walter's flashback, Walter realises to his disgust that his baby son has soiled himself.

* OhCrap: June has one when she discovers the gorilla in her tent, thinking it was Ugh.

-->'''Bill Boosey:''' Here, what's that? [[OhCrap ELEPHANTS!]]
-->'''Upsidasi:''' Umballa! Umballa!
* OnlyOneName: Upsidasi.
* OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace: The Lubi-Dubi tribe hope to get this from the men, as they have had no male births for many years. Boosey and Claude want the sex, but probably don't want to be fathers yet.
* PermaShave

** 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" Sid James characters do, but Inigo 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.
* PornStash: Inigo has a secret magazine that he shields like it was inappropriate to read in front of others. Although, when asked to go and birdwatch, he snaps that he's got "enough birds [[note]]"bird" is British slang for a woman[[/note]]" that he can look at, and then pulls out the book when his tent's empty.

* PunnyName
** Inigo Tinkle can be read as "I need to go tinkle".
** Upsidasi, or "upsy daisy"?
** The cannibal tribe are called the Noshas, "nosh" being a popular British slang term for "food" (the word is of Yiddish origin). It leads to this joke:
--->'''Inigo Tinkle:''' That's all we needed... kosher Noshas!
* RunningGag: The gorilla turning up and terrorising the characters.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Upsidasi's hired help hear of the jungle drums, they abandon the area, thinking it's the messages of the cannibalistic Nosha tribe. Boosey even says afterwards that they won't see them again.
** Double-subverted later. Inigo, Bill and Claude decide to do this after three months in the Lubi-Dubi tribe, having grown fed up of being given unattractive mates. When they get given attractive mates, they decide to stay. But then Ugh, 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 Ugh turns up.
* SmoochOfVictory: When Inigo catches Claude trying to rape Lady Bagley, he takes her back to camp through the dark, and she kisses his cheek to show her gratitude.
* SophisticatedAsHell: Inigo, and in a lesser extent, Claude.

-->'''Lady Bagley:''' Do they just... throw you into the hot water?
-->'''Bill Boosey:''' No no. Nothing as barbaric like that. They just drain the blood first.

* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Lady Bagley's keeps a photograph of her (then) newborn son in her cleveage. 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.

->'''Bill Boosey:''' Well, Upsidaisi, what do those drums say?\\
'''Upsidaisi:''' Dey say... "Boom diddy, boom diddy, boom boom boom".

''Carry On Up the Jungle'' is a ''Film/CarryOn'' movie from 1970 starring series' regulars Creator/SidJames, Creator/JoanSims, Creator/CharlesHawtrey, Creator/BernardBresslaw, Creator/KennethConnor (in his first ''Carry On'' since ''Film/CarryOnCleo''), and Creator/TerryScott, and introduced actress Jacki Piper and was the second (and last) film to [[SpecialGuest star famous British comedian]] Creator/FrankieHowerd. It is claimed to be an AffectionateParody of ''Literature/{{Tarzan}}'', implied when the original movie titles were ''"Carry On, Tarzan"'' and ''"Carry On, Jungle Boy"''.

Like many ''Carry On'' 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 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 {{UST}}.

* AdventurerOutfit: All the cast have the safari type, apart from Lady Bagley and Upsidaisi.

* AlliterativeName: Bill Boosey and Claude Chumley.
* AllMenArePerverts: Presumably because there aren't any women around to flirt or have their way with, Claude and 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.
** Inigo is a mild one. He only has one moment when he becomes aroused over watching Lady Bagley having her shower in the trees, and immediately takes a drug to stop his urges.

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Averted with Upsidaisi; Bernard Bresslaw made a point of translating his lines into a real indigenous South African dialect, Fanagalo (known as Chilapalapa or Chikabanga further north)... which was lost on the West Indian actors portraying the natives.[[note]] But not on the South Africa-born Sid James, who applauded Bresslaw's dedication.[[/note]]
* AsideComment: When June teaches Ugh to count, he gets to [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything six]] and drags her into his hut. As she's being dragged away, June looks at the audience and mumbles, "I wonder if we'll ever get to seven!"

-->'''Walter Bagley:''' ''[cooing]'' Did Mumsy-wumsy forget to take the babsy-wabsy to the potsy-wotsy? Yes, she did, then, the lazy cow... sy-wowsy.''

** Upsidaisi and Bill Boosey.
** Inigo and Claude.
* BigThinShortTrio: When the three British men of the group are set up to mate with the Lubby Dubby women, Inigo is the big guy, Bill is thin guy, and Claude is short guy.
* {{Blackface}}: Upsidaisi, who played by the white Bernard Bresslaw. Then, in-universe, Upsidaisi puts on whiteface to save his camp-mates.
* BookEnds: The film starts in a lecture hall as Tinkle starts telling his audience (and us) the story of his last expedition, and the film's penultimate scene also takes place there as he finishes his story.
* BumblingSidekick: Tinkle's assistant Claude.
* CapturedByCannibals: At one point, the explorers are captured by the cannibalistic Nosha tribe. Tinkle tries to buy them off with his pocket watch, but when Ugh's rescue attempt accidentally sets off a series of explosions, the Noshas re-apprehend the party and prepare to make them that evening's main course.
* CannibalTribe: The Nosha tribe that kidnap the party are believed to be this, which is why the native help that Upsidaisi has organised leaves the party stranded.

* ChasedByAngryNatives: Tinkle and some other party members at one point.

He tries to use this as an advantage to try and have his way with her, but is caught by his partner Inigo.
* CryingWolf: At the Lubby Dubby camp, the men go on strike after being given undesirable women to ravish over and over again. [[spoiler:When they eventually get help from Upsidaisi and the British Army, they are given attractive women at the next mating ceremony, just as the men have positioned themselves around the camp with their weapons.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Bill Boosey and Inigo Tinkle.

* DirtyOldMan

** Walter, on the count that when he first met the all-female tribe, he nicknamed them the Lubby-Dubbies, which is often slang that old men use in a sexual way to describe younger, attractive women.
* DistractedByTheSexy
** Bill and Claude when around the Lubby Dubby tribe.
** Ugh sort of is, but not in a sexual way. When he notices the protruding chests of June and Lady Bagley, he becomes curious, and concerned that they're different to his chest.

* {{Fainting}}: Claude at the beginning when he sees the gorilla in the tree next to him, causing him to fall out of the tree.

** Lady Bagley again when she discovers Tonka is in fact her long-lost husband, and has been with the Lubby Dubby tribe all these years.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: A scene with Bill and Upsidaisi can be this. When they talk about not hearing any jungle drums, Upsidaisi tells Bill that women in a tribe like to stuff bones in their nostrils. When meeting the Lubby Dubby tribe, one of their chants are, "Tonka, Tonka -- stick it up your Honker."
** After being captured by the Noshas, Chumley notes that Upsidasi was able to escape and hopes that he went for help. [[spoiler:Later on, we find that he did.]]

* FunnyForeigner: Upsidaisi.
* FurBikini: June soon after she is kidnapped by Ugh.

* GrandeDame: Lady Bagley.
* GreatWhiteHunter: Bill Boosey is an alcoholic parody.
* HellYesMoment: In the final mating ceremony, Inigo, 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: Inigo, 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 turns out alive, but she hints that if she were to end up with any of them, she'd go for Inigo (she kisses his cheek when he escorts her back to her tent in the dark).

* JungleDrums: When the bearers hear the Nosha tribe's drums, they refuse to go any further lest they be eaten by cannibals. Prof Tinkle isn't convinced that cannibals even exist, but Upsidaisi claims that the first set of drums means "Lay the table for five", while the second means "Yum yum!"

* LadyLand: The all-female Lubby-Dubby 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 Lubby-dubby tribe (and one lost Englishman).
* MagicalNegro: Upsidaisi to Bill.

* MightyWhitey: King Tonka AKA Walter Bagley is probably one of the least mighty examples of this trope in all fiction; after the Lubby-Dubby tribe saved him from being eaten by the Noshas years earlier, they declared him their king in the hope that he could sire some male Lubby-Dubbies to sustain the tribe.

* NativeGuide: Upsidaisi to Boosey and the rest of the party.
* NatureHero: Ugh has spent almost his entire life in the jungle, and has a strong rapport with the local wildlife. In the film's climax, he calls forth a stampede of animals to give the explorers a chance to escape the Lubby-dubby tribe. [[spoiler:Even when he returns to England with his parents at the end of the film, he and June live in a treehouse in a London suburb.]]

** After escaping from the Lubby Dubby tribe, Bill and the others realise there are elephants coming their way from Ugh's elephant call. Upsidasi has one too when the elephants appear.

* OnlyOneName: June and Upsidasi.
* OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace: The Lubby-dubby tribe hope to get this from the men, as they have had no male births for many years. Boosey and Claude want the sex, but probably don't want to be fathers yet.

** For being the age to grow facial hair, Walter and Ugh are clean-shaven throughout their appearances. Perhaps the Lubby-Dubby tribe have types of rocks in their village that Walter can use as razors, but Ugh has grown up with no humans so it's unlikely that he was taught how to shave. Maybe it was the monkeys...
** 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" Sid James characters do, but Inigo and Claude are more likely to carry razors out of the entire cast, considering how high their authority. Meanwhile, Upsidaisi and his hired help either don't grow as much facial hair or have special materials to shave with.

** Upsidaisi, or "upsy daisy"?

** Double-subverted later. Inigo, Bill and Claude decide to do this after three months in the Lubby Dubby tribe, having grown fed up of being given unattractive mates. When they get given attractive mates, they decide to stay. But then Ugh, 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.
