->''"{{Watch out for that tree}}!"''
A series from the [[TheSixties 1960s]], which spawned a [[Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle movie adaptation]]. Produced by Jay Ward of ''RockyAndBullwinkle'' fame (the series, not the movie). ''George of the Jungle'' was an AnimatedAnthology, combining the ''George of the Jungle'' cartoons with ''Super Chicken'' and ''Tom Slick''.
All three segments were full of the PostModernism, NoFourthWall, and satire that characterized Jay Ward's work. This series lasted only 17 episodes (1967), but has been rerun on various TV stations almost continuously for just over 40 years. The series has also earned a complete-series DVD release.
----
The ''George of the Jungle'' cartoons were a send-up of the ''{{Tarzan}}'' mythos. Square-jawed, dim-witted George was the king of the jungle. Almost every time he tried to swing to the rescue through the trees, he'd crash into one, usually while someone else was warning him, "Watch out for that..." '''[[OffscreenCrash WHAM!]]''' "...tree!". Not that unrealistic when you're swinging on a vine ''attached'' to said tree.
His wife, Ursula, was necessarily smarter and more refined. George would often refer to Ursula as a "fella", apparently having trouble with the whole gender thing.
George's elephant, Shep, was thought by George to be a giant dog, and apparently Shep believed it, too. The real brains of the outfit resided in the skull of an ape named Ape. He had an implausible [[BritishAccents Ronald Colman accent]] and was exceptionally well-read.
