Lyle van de Groot is the main antagonist of George of the Jungle and its sequel George of the Jungle 2.

George of the Jungle

Ursula is charmed by George and they become friends. She is introduced to George's pet elephant named Shep. George begins to fall in love with her and asks Ape for advice in courting her. Ape's advice is only variably dependable, but George's attempts do meet with some success. Lyle and the rest of the expedition search for Ursula, and it is revealed that the men Lyle hired are poachers. Lyle finds George's tree house, and tries to persuade Ursula to come with him. She calls George over, and Lyle tries to scare him off using what he thought was a pistol-shaped cigarette lighter. It turns out that a porter had switched the lighter with a real pistol, and Lyle shoots George with it on accident.

George survives (because according to the narrator, "nobody dies in this story"), but Lyle is sent to prison. Max and Thor try to capture Ape, whom they have overheard speaking in English. They're arrested and sent to Bujumbura jail, but are released on a technicality. Ursula returns to her home in San Francisco, taking George with her to "get him the finest medical treatment available".

In San Francisco, George is introduced to the society of humans. He proceeds to make a remarkable impression upon his new acquaintances. One noteworthy incident is his heoric rescue of a stranded parasailor. Meanwhile, Ursula's parents throw an engagement party for her. At the party, Ursula's mother Beatrice realizes that George's affection for Ursula might end any chance of her daughter marrying Lyle. Beatrice then lectures George on the unsuitability of any relationship he might have with Ursula. Discouraged, George returns to Ursula's flat. There, he finds his bird Tookie Tookie, who flew all the way from Africa to tell George that Max and Thor had stolen Ape to take him to Vegas to make a fortune. Immediately George set off for Africa, leaving without even telling Ursula goodbye. Soon afterward, Ursula realizes that she reciprocates George's affection, and much to her mother's dismay decides to follow him to Africa.

George returns to Africa to save Ape who, fortunately, has been misleading his captors into following false trails. George finds Ape and rescues him by defeating Max and Thor in a fistfight, which included pranks such as giving George a purple nurple, and giving Thor's tighty-whiteys an atomic wedgie. Ursula arrives on the scene at the end of the fight, and moments before Lyle and some henchmen appear as well. It is revealed that Lyle escaped from jail and became an ordained minister so that he had the authority to marry Ursula and himself against her will. Lyle's henchmen tie George up and Lyle runs away with Ursula. He takes her to a raft on Ape River and proceeded with a marriage ceremony. Meanwhile, George, Ape, and other animals defeat Lyle's henchmen and George rescues Ursula before Lyle can finish the marriage.

George of the Jungle 2

Lyle returns in George of the Jungle 2, conspiring with Beatrice to get Ursula to marry him. He cheated Ape at gambling, believing him to have the deed of Ape Mountain, but as it turns out, George has the deed. Lyle took the deed and then convinced a hypnotist to hypnotize Ursula into thinking she was his wife. He then sent bulldozers to tear down the jungle, but the apes and the other animals defeated the bulldozers, with Rocky the kangaroo defeating Lyle's new minions Sally and Kowalski, and George's son Junior shutting down the last bulldozer. Although Lyle made more threats, George hung him by a tree and kissed Ursula, breaking the hypnotic spell. Lyle aimed a gun at George, confusing him by saying unhypnotized. When the narrator offered to explain, Lyle said he was annoying. The narrator responded by, in the form of a giant hand, carrying Lyle away into the sky, out of the story never to be seen again.
