* WhatAnIdiot: In the second movie, the villains have Ursula hypnotized into believing she's married to Lyle, but they never think of hypnotizing Junior too. Also, Junior never thinks of telling his mother that George is his real father until near the end.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[DoNotExplainTheJoke At the risk of ruining a funny joke]]... early on in the film, only one of the four African guides seems to be able to speak English, despite it being confirmed that the other three can at least ''understand'' it. Midway through the film, when the trio reveal that they ''can'' speak it, their boss, Kwame, gives them a look. Whether this is a look of genuine surprise that they actually can speak English or annoyance that they had ruined a long-standing joke they were playing on Lyle is up to the viewer to decide.

* {{Mondegreen}}: The original theme song contains the line "...while Fella and Ursula stay in step." This line is often misheard as "...while ''Bella'' and Ursula stay in step." Justified because two women who look like identical twins show up when this line is uttered, but both of them are actually Ursula, and there is no "Bella" in the original show. The creators of the 2008 and 2015 revivals were apparently confused as well, since they actually introduced a new character (though she was called Magnolia, or "Maggie" for short, rather than Bella), and the theme song was changed to reflect this.

** George and Ursula (Gesula) has few shipping moments while got a little more as Magnolia.
** George and Magnolia (Geomag) has more shipping moments on the 2008 series while her name is now Ursula for 2015, there's so much shipping between those two.
