** George took an interest in painting, while watching some painters, and found himself painting a woman's apartment in a jungle theme. He practically had a whole mob of people, including painters, window washers, and the woman chase him down a fire escape, and in his attempt to escape, he jumped, and broke his leg in the process, having to be hospitalized. The mob's response: He deserved it.

* AbsentAnimalCompanion: At the end of ''Curious George Flies a Kite'', Bill gives one of his baby bunnies to George as a pet and the last page shows George feeding his new baby bunny a carrot. This baby bunny doesn't appear again or is mentioned in any of the other original books.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: In ''Curious George Goes to the Hospital'', George wheels through the hospital in another patient's go cart. He loses control of the cart and crashes into a display of food, causing a huge mess in front of the mayor. George is at first [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrified at the destruction]] but then he discovers that the other children are laughing. The staff and the mayor join in on the laughter, and they together decide that George shouldn't be punished.



* BlackBeadEyes: In the books; also in the [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]] in the television show.



* EveryoneChasingYou: The incident with the paint in the apartment in the second book leads to this.
* FirehouseDalmatian: The book, "Curious George and the Firefighters", has a Dalmatian who accompanies the firefighters.
* GreatWhiteHunter: The Man with the Yellow Hat's role in the first book, where he captured George for an American zoo.
* FourFingeredHands: Averted with George and human characters, who have five fingers. Played straight with Jumpy the squirrel and other animals though.



* MisplacedWildlife: In ''Curious George Learns the Alphabet'' it is stated that George had experience with jaguars, as he had lived in the jungle once just like jaguars do. However, other books clearly state that George came from an ''African'' jungle (and he does appear to be an African species). Jaguars are native to Central and South America.



* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: Invoked by George in ''Flies a Kite''; George accidentally loses a baby bunny which runs away and can't be found. George then uses the mother bunny to locate the missing baby.



* YouMustBeThisTallToRide: One book has George go to an amusement park but being too small ride on a roller coaster or play with bunnies in the petting zoo. He then has a dream that he grew to five times his previous size, only to find he's now too big to fit on the roller coaster and too large to play with the bunnies safely.

!! The ''Curious George'' franchise contains examples of:

* AbsentAnimalCompanion: At the end of ''Curious George Flies a Kite'', Bill gives one of his baby bunnies to George as a pet and the last page shows George feeding his new baby bunny a carrot. This baby bunny doesn't appear again or is mentioned in any of the other original books.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: In ''Curious George Goes to the Hospital'', George wheels through the hospital in another patient's go cart. He loses control of the cart and crashes into a display of food, causing a huge mess in front of the mayor. George is at first [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrified at the destruction]] but then he discovers that the other children are laughing. The staff and the mayor join in on the laughter, and they together decide that George shouldn't be punished.
* AdvancedTech2000: The roller coaster is called the "Turbo Python 3000"
* AdultsAreUseless: The Man With the Yellow Hat often leaves George to his own devices. Let us repeat: ''George is a'' '''monkey'''.
* AnimatedAdaptation: Nine of them; a theatrical film, five direct-to-video movies, an obscure television special and two television series for preschoolers.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: George lacks a tail which would make him an ape. That said, he doesn't match any species of African ape either, being too small and brown and standing erect. It should be George ''was'' going to have a tail, but it was removed due to art complications.
* BlackBeadEyes: In the books; also in the [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]] in the television show.
* CatchPhrase:
** "Don't get into trouble." (in the books and the 80s shorts)
** "Be a good little monkey." (in the cartoon series)
* CuriousAsAMonkey: TropeNamer
* DisproportionateRetribution: Various times George's curiosity gets the better of him, resulting in him unintentionally committing something that, if a normal person did it, would be considered a crime. But considering he's a small monkey who doesn't always know better, his penalty is still undeserving.
** George dialed random numbers on a telephone, and accidentally called the fire department. He was thrown in jail for it.
** George looked at an ostrich, who literally grabbed a bugle from his hands, and nearly choked on it. George was subsequently kicked out of a circus act for it. (He was reinstated for a heroic act shortly afterwards).
** George took an interest in painting, while watching some painters, and found himself painting a woman's apartment in a jungle theme. He practically had a whole mob of people, including painters, window washers, and the woman chase him down a fire escape, and in his attempt to escape, he jumped, and broke his leg in the process, having to be hospitalized. The mob's response: He deserved it.
* EscapedAnimalRampage: A monkey escapes from a zoo and has wacky mischievous adventures.
* EveryoneChasingYou: The incident with the paint in the apartment in the second book leads to this.
* FirehouseDalmatian: The book, "Curious George and the Firefighters", has a Dalmatian who accompanies the firefighters.
* GreatWhiteHunter: The Man with the Yellow Hat's role in the first book, where he captured George for an American zoo.
* FourFingeredHands: Averted with George and human characters, who have five fingers. Played straight with Jumpy the squirrel and other animals though.
* InexplicablyTailless: George the monkey does not have a tail. One of the most notable instances of the Mandela effect besides the fact that it's spelled [[Literature/TheBerenstainBears "Berenstain" and not "Berenstein"]] actually involves this, as most people misremember George having a tail.
* LosingHorns: The 1980 series used three Type B variants whenever George gets into trouble: a three-note tuba, a four-note harmonica and a five-note trombone.
* MischiefMakingMonkey: George is this, often unintentionally.
* MisplacedWildlife: In ''Curious George Learns the Alphabet'' it is stated that George had experience with jaguars, as he had lived in the jungle once just like jaguars do. However, other books clearly state that George came from an ''African'' jungle (and he does appear to be an African species). Jaguars are native to Central and South America.
* NobodyPoops: Monkeys and other primates cannot be housebroken and have to wear diapers to be kept as (sanitary) pets. Doesn't seem to be an issue with George.
* NoNameGiven: The Man With the Yellow Hat, until the movie, which revealed [[NamedByTheAdaptation his name to be Ted Shackleford]].
* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: Invoked by George in ''Flies a Kite''; George accidentally loses a baby bunny which runs away and can't be found. George then uses the mother bunny to locate the missing baby.
* PersonWithTheClothing: The Man with the Yellow Hat.
* SignatureHeadgear: The Man With the Yellow Hat.
* StockAnimalDiet: Three guesses what George likes to eat and the first two don't count.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: George is often treated more like a young child than a monkey.
* YouMustBeThisTallToRide: One book has George go to an amusement park but being too small ride on a roller coaster or play with bunnies in the petting zoo. He then has a dream that he grew to five times his previous size, only to find he's now too big to fit on the roller coaster and too large to play with the bunnies safely.
