Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Smoggies, known as Stop the Smoggies in the US, is a Canadian cartoon produced by Canada's Global Television Network and CINAR. The Smoggies, consisting of the vain, bossy Emma, the brilliant, henpecked Clarence, and the musclebound, childlike Polluto, are a trio of treasure hunters with no regards for the environment. They arrive at the beautiful Coral Island in pursuit of a magical coral that Emma believes will grant her everlasting youth. In fact, said coral doesn't exist, but she refuses to accept this fact.The unwitting destruction that the Smoggies carry out is countered by the efforts of the Suntots, a race of seemingly eternally young, child-like people who have invented many brilliant, ecologically sustainable gadgets and gizmos that take advantage of the plentiful water, wind and solar power their home provides. They wish the Smoggies would leave Coral Island, but are too peaceful to use violence to drive them away. The Smoggies aired on the Global Television Network until August 1997.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Ambiguously Human: Polluto has an ability to eat things a regular human could not, which calls into question if he's a regular human with abilities, or a "metahuman". However, he may just be a No Celebrities Were Harmed version of Michel Lotito, aka Mr. Mangetout, who actually did do this sort of thing.

Aerith and Bob: Emma and Clarence are typical names, but Polluto is not.

Anti-Villain: Zigzagged. Played straight with Clarence and Polluto; neither of them are truly bad people, but Clarence is devoted to Emma and doesn't think through the consequences of pleasing her, while Polluto is just too stupid to realize the damage the Smoggies are causing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

comment
Ambiguous Disorder: Polluto may have a learning disability of some sort due to his inability to see obvious danger and slow-witted behaviour, plus a lack of social skills and a special interest in machinery, along with his lack of real friends (apart, maybe, from Clarence).
