The Smurfs (1981) | comment |
The period from 1966 to 1990 was considered the "Golden Age of Saturday-Morning Cartoon" where all US television networks — by all, we mean three: NBC, ABC, and CBS — made conscious decisions devoting their weekend blocks to showing animated programs targeted for children during the mornings. Though as time went on, live-action kids' shows as well as other family-friendly media began taking over the airwaves, meaning ratings started to go down and the future of established Saturday morning cartoons became uncertain. Eventually, animated studios and network programmers fell into a pattern of reusing popular formulas, some taking characters from their most popular shows and pairing them together in order to make them "perform" or "compete" much like how their live-action counterparts in Sitcoms and Soap Operas did on Prime Time shows.In 1979, television executive and producer Fred Silverman (who became President and CEO of NBC) brought his daughter a plush Smurf doll from a local toy shop during a network trip to Aspen, Colorado. Upon his return, Silverman contacted cofounder Joseph Barbera of Hanna-Barbera Productions, charging him on acquiring the rights to the Smurfs, guaranteeing the studio an on-air commitment if they could make an animated cartoon series around the Belgian comics. Doing as he was told, Barbera began a two-year trip to the television screen, veering the Smurfs far from Pierre "Peyo" Culliford's 1958 creation before coming back to a familiar form.Even though the contract Peyo had with NBC, S.E.P.P. (La Société d'Edition, de Presse et de Publicité) and Hanna-Barbera Productions gave him the power to veto any changes made to his creation, Hanna-Barbera had to make changes to the comics before making them into episodes. They included changing 'The Black Smurfs' from "Les Schtroumpfs noirs" to purple as well as changing the 'Swoofs', which are basically the Smurfs in disguise to green from the reddish orange skin tone from "Le Cosmoschtroumpf" ("The Astrosmurf"). Hanna-Barbera also changed Brainy from being whacked on the head with a blunt object as punishment in the printed stories to being physically thrown out of the Smurf Village in the cartoon, which was later carried into the 2011 movie and the 2020s cartoon series, in fear of young viewers hitting those they despise on the head.The Smurfs animated series finally debuted on Saturday morning of September 12, 1981, capturing forty two percent of the audience, thus making it the most highly rated children's program in more than eight years, not to mention the highest rated program on NBC in roughly two decades. Smurfs even outperformed a number of successful prime time shows in terms of viewing percentages. In terms of voices, Don Messick, Frank Welker, June Foray, Paul Winchell, Michael Bell, Alan Young, Hamilton Camp, and Charlie Adler, among others provided their vocal talents to the show.While many of Peyo's original Smurfs comics such as "L'Apprenti Schtroumpf" ("The Smurf Apprentice"), "Les Schtroumpfs et le Cracoucass" ("The Smurfs and the Howlibird") and "Le Schtroumpfissme" ("King Smurf") were adapted for the first season, Hanna-Barbera reached a point where new characters need to be introduced as well as creating original stories for the series. Johan and Pirlouit, called Peewit in English, made their television debut in the second season, becoming recurring characters as well as Bigmouth, who only made one appearance in the comics. Gargamel, Azrael, Princess Savina, the King, Dame Barbra and Homnibus made their animated appearances from the comics as well. Other allies of the Smurfs created specifically for the animated series include Prince-turned-King Gerard, the Pussywillow Pixies, Gourdy, Marina, Selwyn and Tallulah just to name a few. Besides additional allies, supplementary antagonists such as Chlorhydris, Gargamel's godfather Lord Balthazar as well as Scruple, Gargamel's apprentice starting from around season six appeared as adversaries to the Smurfs.Despite the Smurfs being cancelled by NBC, which was getting rid of its animated Saturday morning lineup to allow for more news programming, Hanna-Barbera would animate the characters one last time in a drug abuse prevention special with other popular Saturday morning showsnote Alf from ALF: The Animated Series; Garfield from Garfield and Friends; The Chipmunks, Alvin, Simon & Theodore Seville, from Alvin and the Chipmunks; Baby Kermit, Baby Piggy & Baby Gonzo from Muppet Babies (1984); Slimer from The Real Ghostbusters; Pooh Bear & Tigger from The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh; Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck, not to mention Wile E. Coyote's mentioned and his time machine's used, from Looney Tunes; Huey, Dewey and Louie from DuckTales (1987) and Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) called Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue. A handful of Smurfs, along with Papa, Hefty and Brainy, with a quick cameo from Harmony in the comic book lying on the floor, appeared in a limited amount of appearance under the orders of Smurfs' creator Pierre "Peyo" Culliford.In 2017, a new Smurfs animated TV series was being developed. It premiered on OUFtivi in French-speaking Belgium on Sunday, April 18, 2021. The show later premiered in the US on September 10, 2021 on Nickelodeon. | |

Dream Weaver: Morphio is a demon that introduces himself as such. He is capable of twisting a person's dreams however he desires, having tormented the Smurfs and Gargamel on separate occasions. He's defeated the first time around by Lazy also doing this. Morphio had used Lazy's dream to get to the other Smurfs, but just as he's captured them all, Lazy realized he can still exert control in his own dream. Morphio flees in the face of Lazy effortlessly freeing the others and countering his attacks. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Hefty is repeatedly ridiculed in Season 9's "Hefty Sees a Serpent" for claiming to have seen just that. Never mind that up to this point there have been over eight seasons' worth of episodes of the Smurfs encountering wizards, elves, ghosts, dragons, pixies, gnomes, trolls, genies, and all sorts of other fantastical beings, but apparently a Sea Serpent is somehow unbelievable. Not to mention the constant use of magical spells and how this season involved them outright time traveling every week. Unsurprisingly, Hefty is very quick to gloat when he's proven right. | |

Darker and Edgier: Oddly enough, the animated series' Christmas Special. 'The stranger', unsettling in his own right, was implied to be serving something very, very bad, and behaved evilly enough to frighten Gargamel into breaking their (quite worthwhile) bargain to co-operate and all. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: In "A Hug For Grouchy", Grouchy running away from Smurfs who were stalking him and pouncing on him to give him a hug on Hug-A-Smurf Day, whether he wanted one or not, could be construed as an allegory for rape, albeit a very loose one. | |

In the Hood: The druid leader in "The Smurfs' Time Capsule", and Nemesis in "Grandpa's Nemesis". The latter wears a hood because his transformed face is so scary to look at, and sometimes he purposely removes the hood to scare his victims into submission. | |

We All Die Someday: In the episode "Squeaky", Papa Smurf tries to comfort Smurfette over the loss of her pet mouse by telling her that death is a natural part of life. Smurfette doesn't want to hear that and so runs away from the village until the Smurfs come and rescue her. | |

The Smurfs (1981) / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Grouchy towards Baby Smurf. In "Once in a Blue Moon", he runs away with Baby in order to prevent him from being taken away, and in a later episode he gets over his fear of swimming after seeing Baby in danger. Papa Smurf will do anything in his power to try and protect his Smurfs. For example, when he thinks Gargamel kidnapped two of the Smurfs (when really they and also Azrael were kidnapped by someone else entirely), the one thing he displays is animosity towards the old wizard. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Grandpa Smurf does this in "Lost Smurf" when he plants one of Jokey's "surprises" near the door of the prison inside Castle Captor for him and Nanny Smurf to escape. Jokey also does this in the cartoon show version of "King Smurf" when he gets sent to jail for pulling his usual prank on Brainy, who at the time was King Smurf. | |

Deal with the Devil: In "Harmony Steals The Show", Harmony signs a contract that allows him to use Ghostwriter's original symphony as his own in exchange for being his eternal performer at his spectral nightclub. Papa Smurf and the other Smurfs help Harmony break the contract by revealing before the judge and jury that Ghostwriter's "original symphony" was actually musical pieces stolen from other musicians. In "Smurfette's Dancing Shoes", Smurfette receives a pair of shoes that enables her to dance gracefully, but the imp who gave her the shoes says now she must marry him. Papa Smurf gets her out of that situation by the end of the episode by making the magic shoes appear on the imp and having him dance uncontrollably. | |

Tooth Fairy: Two different Tooth Fairies appear in two separate episodes. In one episode, a Tooth Fairy is sought after to help ease Baby Smurf's teething pains, but she is held prisoner in a cave by a door that can't be removed unless somebody solves the algebraic problem presented on it. In another episode, Sassette loses her first tooth, and Gargamel kidnaps and disguises himself as the other Tooth Fairy in order to get his hands on the Smurfs. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: One of the Game Master's rules of his game in "The Grouchiest Game In Town" is that "wizard takes all". This rule ends up defeating him later on when Grouchy uses Papa Smurf, who is both a Smurf and a wizard, to remove all of the Game Master's pieces from the board, thus freeing everybody from being trapped as the Game Master's game pieces. The rainbow-striped rock in Clumsy's rock collection in "All The News That's Fit To Smurf" becomes the very thing that puts the carnivorous snapdragons to sleep when Brainy and the other Smurfs accidentally awaken them. | |

However, after noticing that the Smurfs were eating the soup and not feeling ill or dropping dead, she goes and finds out that she put the root rot into a kettle of dirty laundry. In "The Blue Plague", Brainy slips a concoction made by Gargamel into his fellow Smurfs' meal, thinking it would be a cure-all for all their problems, but it ended up making them act like chickens when they ate it. | |

The Smurfs (1981) / int_28ea0e57 | comment |
Cock Fight: Purposely invoked by Smurfette in "Romeo And Smurfette" when she fell under the influence of Gargamel's hypnotic flower, and she chose Hefty and Handy as her primary suitors, which led them and the whole village into a Ship-to-Ship Combat. | |

Halloween Episode | |

Halloween Episode: There was "The Smurfs' Halloween Special", even though it was actually an ordinary Saturday morning episode set on Halloween, which turned out to be Jokey Smurf's and Gargamel's birthday. A similar-themed holiday called Spook-A-Smurf Eve was celebrated in "Monster Smurfs". | |

Good News, Bad News: Brainy does this to Clumsy in "The Secret of The Village Well", saying that the good news is that Clumsy's waiting is over, and the bad news is that he is compelled to tell Clumsy that his wish will never come true because he needs a penny in order for the Wishing Fairy to grant him his wish. | |

Never Trust a Hair Tonic | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_2a97ad3b | comment |
Never Trust a Hair Tonic: Gargamel and Brainy learned this lesson the hard way in "Symbols Of Wisdom". Also, Papa Smurf had Hogatha's hair spell in "Smurfette's Golden Tresses" purposely altered by giving her bear fur dyed in the color of Smurfette's hair, which caused the hair to grow so long on Hogatha's head that it covered her face and immobilized her. | |

Gargamel did sport a fake Beard of Evil when he was masquerading as the dream date wizard Harlequin in order to get his hands on Hogatha's "magic whistle", which was really her bird call. However, during a kiss, the fake beard attached itself to Hogatha's face, revealing her dream date to be Gargamel, yet Hogatha doesn't notice it until after Gargamel is gone when she looks at herself in the mirror and says, "I have charm, I have beauty, I have a beard...A BEARD?!?" | |

Elevator Failure: In "Skyscraper Smurfs", Brainy and Hefty both board an elevator of the smurfominium that Handy and Architect both had built together, but as they go up, the elevator stalls, and the control lever snaps off. Brainy panics and bangs on the door, wanting to get out. Hefty tries to calm his friend down, saying that somebody will come along and help them. Brainy decides to pass the time reading the books he was transporting on the elevator, which makes Hefty panic and bang on the door. Over time, Hefty develops claustrophobia and breaks out of the elevator window, jumping over to the branch of a nearby tree to escape. | |

Not a Mask: In "All The Smurf's A Stage", Timid Smurf has been impersonating various Smurfs in order to show his acting ability, and he is (almost) convincing in each of his roles. When the Smurfs who don't know Timid was doing all these acting roles go to Papa Smurf to tell them that there is a Smurf among them that is impersonating other Smurfs, another Papa Smurf shows up, and Brainy pulls on his beard, thinking him to be the impersonator, only to find that that was the real Papa Smurf and the Papa Smurf they were talking to was Timid impersonating Papa Smurf. | |

Runaway Groom: Chlorhydris assumed that this was what happened to her fiance Manfred the Magnificent on the day of their wedding in "Chlorhydris' Lost Love", but as it turned out, her witch rival Drusilla prevented Manfred from attending the wedding by turning him into stone and kept him a prisoner for twenty years. Manfred did end up leaving Chlorhydris when, shortly after being reunited, he was pierced with the witch's black heart arrows and his heart became filled with hate. | |

Weapons That Suck: Brainy and Clumsy in the cartoon show episode "Smurfing For Ghosts" use a Ghostbusters-type backpack weapon that acts like a vacuum cleaner for sucking up ghosts. Gargamel in "The Trojan Smurf" also had a weapon that acted like a vacuum cleaner for sucking up Smurfs. And there was Handy's Snow Rover which in Gargamel's hands turned from blow to suck in "It's A Smurfy Life". | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While the overall premise of When Trees Attack is far from realistic, "I Smurf For the Trees" makes a point that the now sentient trees of the forest, with their roots unplanted are losing nourishment, energy and life at a rapid pace. When something is unplanted from the soil, unless it gets some sort of potting or replanting it will inevitably die, sentient or not. | |

I'm Melting!: In "The Smurfs Of The Round Table", Morgan le Fey steals Excalibur, uses it to turn King Arthur and his men to wax, and then casts a spell on the sun to make it burn hotter so that King Arthur and everything in Camelot will melt away. Fortunately, the melting process takes time, which gives the Smurfs enough time to get Excalibur back from the evil sorceress and to restore everyone in Camelot to normal. | |

Smurfs Use Violence, Smurfettes Use Communication: In the episode "Supersmurf", Brainy as Supersmurf tries and almost succeeds in getting the Smurfs' supply of food back from Bigmouth by using violence, only for his magic-given superpowers to wear out. Smurfette tries using communication (which in this case means feminine wiles and pleas of sympathy) to get the food back from Bigmouth, only that doesn't work either. It takes Brainy coming up with the idea of distracting Bigmouth's appetite with rocks dipped in slime sauce that the Smurfs are able to get their food back. | |

Compressed Vice: Smurfette is known for always attracting attention of male smurfs wherever she goes, thanks to her beauty and charm. However, in "Sister Smurf" (1982), the Smurfs suddenly start ignoring her, and this irritates her, to the point where she snubs the boys and befriends a human girl. Smurfette is always treated well by male smurfs. However, in "Don Smurfo" (1986), she suffers a lot at their hands, only for her to complain that none of them are on the level of her favorite fictional character. | |

Mistaken for Dying: In the episode "Smurf Me No Flowers", Brainy assumes from overhearing Papa Smurf in his laboratory talking about Vanity's plant that Lazy's insomnia is a prelude to his fellow Smurf's soon departure from life, and so he gets his fellow Smurfs to hold a final party for Lazy to comfort him in his final days without letting him know. Of course, Brainy ends up spilling the beans about it, and Lazy decides that he's going to do some daring deeds in his final days — including a bull fight, which makes his fellow Smurfs fearful for him. | |

And Now You Must Marry Me: In the episode "Smurfette's Dancing Shoes", the nameless treasure-hunting imp who is after the Treasure Of The Ancient Trolls forces Smurfette to marry him in exchange for giving her the titular shoes that she can never remove. When the Smurfs confront the imp and demand him to release Smurfette, he gives them the challenge of collecting three items from Dreadful Hollow before the sun rises. Although the Smurfs succeed in the challenge, the imp refuses to let Smurfette go, requiring Papa Smurf to use a magic spell to cast the magic dancing shoes on the imp instead. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: The mischievous spirit in "The Box Of Dirty Tricks", which is sealed inside a box in an attempt to contain it from doing anyone any harm. Not that it stops the spirit entirely from doing its dirty tricks upon whoever possesses it. Mystico the goblin from "Nobody Smurf", who was sealed inside a fountain and was accidentally released by Nobody and Clumsy Smurf when they knocked over a goblet near the fountain that they were not supposed to touch. The druids in a tree in the episode "The Smurfs' Time Capsule". Only their leader managed to escape so that he could get the Moonrock Amulet and free his brothers when the light of the full moon hits the amulet. The Smurfs stopped his attempt and sealed the druid leader back inside the tree. The evil wizard trapped in the Swapping Well. (Papa Smurf was the one who had trapped him there, it turned out.) The Mad Artist Maestro, who was trapped in a painting for making art that could do that to living creatures, inadvertently released by Painter Smurf (who Maestro affectionately called his "apprentice" later; Painter later had to create the most convincing work of his life — as he said — in order to put him back.) The Jackass Genie Genie Meanie from "The Magical Meanie" was forced to stay inside his bottle until he stopped being mean. | |

Media Watchdog: Glass objects were absent, as the breaking of such was actually not allowed on cartoons at the time, although this was less noticeable in the show's quasi-medieval setting. If you wonder what were all those vials and jars made out of: Clay. Brainy's glasses, as revealed in "The Dark Ness Monster", were made from the Sandman's sleeping sands. | |

The Farmer and the Viper: The episode "All Creatures Great And Smurf" has the adult Nat Smurf getting his fellow Smurfs to help get Azrael's paw out of a bear trap by bringing him into the village. At first Azrael seems grateful, but upon hearing his master Gargamel calling out for him, he reverts back to his own evil nature and is almost ready to tear Nat Smurf to shreds when he gets chased off into the forest by a larger creature. Nat Smurf mistakes this situation for an Androcles' Lion. | |

Beauty Contest | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_5170a333 | comment |
Beauty Contest: There was a gender-flipped version called the Mr. Smurf Contest in the episode of the same name, where the male Smurfs competed to be the one who would take Smurfette to the Harvest Ball as her escort. As it turned out, Smurfette couldn't decide which of the contestants would be the winner, so she judged all contestants to be the winners. Also, one of the contestants was Gargamel, who had disguised himself as a Smurf, but as his disguise wore off, he ended up being no bigger than a Smurf and thus was cast out of the village. And there was also a Miss Dark Ages Beauty Show in "The Golden Smurf Award", which ironically consisted of old hags competing for being the "most beautiful" of them all, and for which Hogatha was attempting to make herself beautiful by using Smurfs as part of her beauty regimen. | |

Nobody Poops: Discussed in one episode where Brainy tries to get out of joining some other Smurfs in searching for a rare flower on a snowy mountaintop by making a bunch of excuses, one of them being that he has to go to the bathroom. Averted with Baby Smurf as they do mention having to change his diapers a few times. And in the ally-titled "Baby's Enchanted Didee" the diaper made from Gargamel's magic carpet fragment loses its power when baby uses it. | |

After the bed takes Papa Smurf, Brainy, Clumsy, and Baby to a pirate ship and then a child's bedroom with toys, it ends up traveling to Gargamel's lair when Clumsy dreams of being taken there. Papa Smurf whispers in Clumsy's ear to dream about his home in the Smurf Village with his beautiful rock collection, and soon enough Clumsy's dreaming takes them away from Gargamel before he gets their hands on them and straight into Clumsy's house. | |

The Famine | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_5674af1a | comment |
The Famine: The main characters go through a famine at least twice in the series. Once, in "Spelunking Smurfs", it came because of a drought, and the Smurfs sought after food in the forest until they found a cave with frozen food and a frozen ogre guarding it. Another time, in "The Horn Of Plenty", Mother Nature's bad broken wand causes the Smurfs' crops to wither and die right at harvest time, causing them to suffer penury during winter until they discover a land where its citizens are fed by a musical instrument called the Horn of Plenty. There's the episode "Super Smurf" where the Smurfs are preventing a famine by getting their winter stores back from Big Mouth after he steals them just before the snows come. | |

Everybody Must Get Stoned: Gargamel's Daredevil Dust, which makes the Smurfs act so reckless (not to mention so high) in the episode "Reckless Smurfs". Also the Forget Me Flowers in "Forget Me Smurfs" which made the Smurfs who sniffed the flowers to forget about everything (and also made them look and act stoned). And lastly the Giggle Glitter from "The Last Laugh" that made whoever was exposed to it laugh uncontrollably. | |

The Smurfs (1981) / int_5c1d5030 | comment |
Grew Beyond Their Programming: Clockwork Smurf was originally created to be a servant of the Smurfs. When Brainy accidentally messed around with the robot's gears to see what made him tick, he at first malfunctioned until Handy turned it off, thinking that his machine was a failure. As it turned out, the malfunction ultimately gave Clockwork Smurf life, as he now operated independently of his own "programming" and helped Prince Gerard escape his Evil Aunt Lady Imperia so that he could regain the right of kingship before she becomes queen. After that, Clockwork Smurf became an adviser to King Gerard and a friend to the Smurfs. | |

G-Rated Sex: Or in this case, G-Rated Marriage Consummation, as when Smurfette imagines being married to Hefty in "Smurfily Ever After": he takes her into his house, gets (partially) undressed, and wants to get all "hot and sweaty" with Smurfette...by doing exercises with her! | |

Sword Fight | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_5d310fb8 | comment |
Sword Fight: In the show's adaptation of Robin Hood, Vanity as Robin Smurf and Brainy as Prince John are both fighting with wooden swords, but Vanity acts as if he's barely even fighting. It only ends when Harmony tackles Brainy and sends him flying into the moat. Parodied in another episode where Papa Smurf fights with a pirate on board a ship using a gourd. | |

Kangaroo Court | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_5d3e7c6 | comment |
Kangaroo Court: Brainy was put in charge of looking after Baby, and then let him wander off; then he blamed Clumsy for doing it. After Papa Smurf tells him that no-one should be blamed, and then leaves to visit Homnibus, Brainy has other ideas, as if framing Clumsy wasn't bad enough; he puts Clumsy on trial, which is completely rigged. He has Greedy act as the judge, and bribes him with pastry so that he'd agree with every motion he made. In a subversion of the Trope, Brainy is caught in the act of a bribe and his scheme is uncovered when an understandably angry Papa Smurf comes back. (Probably the worst part of this is, Brainy was so concerned about covering up what he did, that he didn't notice that Baby - who again, he was supposed to look after - wandered off again, and ironically, Clumsy had to rescue him this time.) | |

The Jailer | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_5d464a53 | comment |
The Jailer: Castle Captive was a villain who was both the Jailer and the jail. A living, intelligent castle, it appeared in the human world once every five hundred years, its appearance luring travelers to it, only to trap them inside and after 24 hours, carry them to whatever realm it called home, for... well, some reason known only to himself but he did seem to be a cruel creature who liked seeing victims suffer. Escaping it was almost impossible, because it could control every part of itself, doors, furniture, even items as small as silverware, and use them against anyone who caused trouble. One prisoner was Nanny Smurf, who was rescued after the Castle appeared five centuries after she was kidnapped. | |

Evil Tastes Good: In the cartoon, Gargamel usually wanted to eat the Smurfs, and went on and on about it. note In the comics, he initially needs a Smurf as an ingredient for a potion that would turn lead into gold. Then, after repeated humiliations, he's plain and simply motivated by vengeance. | |

The rest of the episode is about the Smurfs trying to catch Greedy so that they can turn him back into a normal Smurf before sundown, or else he would end up as a leprechaun forever. | |

Getting the Boot | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_616c4844 | comment |
Getting the Boot: On the TV series, Brainy gets tossed out of the village at least Once an Episode. As mentioned before, this was done as a "safer" alternative to what happened in the original comics, where he was hit on the head with a mallet, although it would take more violence to toss him far enough to land on the outskirts of the village. Brainy's not the only one who got this treatment: Vanity, Jokey (twice by Papa!) and Harmony either were asking for it or had it coming. Poet and Harmony do this to Grouchy when the grouch expressed his hatred for truffles. Even Clumsy got this treatment by BRAINY! | |

Averted in that nothing disastrous happens, but the temporal copies do inform Papa Smurf that they have seen what they think are copies of themselves in a cave. Fortunately, by the end of the episode, Father Time and Mother Nature straighten the whole mess out, and the temporal copies vanish. | |

Never Had Toys | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_676a6e39 | comment |
Never Had Toys: Prince Gerard spent three years shut in a dungeon by his sadistic aunt Imperia, who lied to everyone that he was very sick, so she could rule in his place and, afterwards, take the throne. She made him wear rags, eat only gruel and didn't allow him to have any toys. After Gerard escapes with the help of the Clockwork Smurf, Imperia has her troops searching for them, planning to "burn his toy doll". | |

Disney Death: Laconia, in 1984's "Stop and Smurf the Roses." Laconia entered her death-like sleep after the evil Chlorhydris – annoyed that the beautiful wood elf even exists – kills off all the flowers, Laconia's life source. Fortunately, Papa Smurf is able to reverse the spell and foil Chlorhydris' plans. The 1986 episode "Smurfquest": Temporarily for Grandpa Smurf, when he passes out just as elements to restore the Smurf's Long Life Stone (their own life source) are being placed in the Stone's box. Grandpa revives after the stone goes through its restoration cycle; the other Smurfs' youths (as they, too, had aged into elderly Smurfs) are restored as well. | |

Although the "money" it produces is actually a confectionery wrapped in golden paper called a "golden goodie", it has the effect of drawing the Smurfs to it and trading what they thought was personally valuable just to have a single piece of the money tree's candy. | |

The Smurfs (1981) / int_77848bc1 | comment |
The Sons and the Spears: In "The Smurfs' Time Capsule", Papa Smurf has Hefty gather a bundle of sticks due to the riddle in the time capsule saying "A stick by itself is too weak; it's sticks in a bundle you seek". With the sticks, Papa Smurf has Hefty break one of the sticks, then him trying to break the whole bundle at once. When Hefty finds out that he can't, Papa Smurf discovers the meaning behind the riddle, that in the unity of the Smurfs there is strength to resist. | |

Fortunately, because the Smurfs obtained the Chekhov's Skill of sign language from Laconia, they were able to communicate with each other in order to tell the Smurflings what they must do to break the barrier. | |

The prince tries to cross the fingers on his hand, but since he's got the hands of the frog, the fingers won't stay crossed. Papa Smurf laughs and excuses himself for that statement. | |

Brainy thinks it's Papa Smurf talking about Lazy's problems being a prelude to something worse and goes to tell his fellow Smurfs about it, but in reality it's Papa Smurf talking about Vanity's withered plant. | |

The magnifying glass focuses the sun's rays to start burning a spot onto the table until eventually the whole top of the table catches on fire. Lazy smells smoke and realizes he's in a dangerous spot, so he crawls out and yells fire, catching the attention of Papa Smurf and all the other Smurfs.

Bouquet Toss: In the special "Smurfily Ever After", after Smurfette spends most of the episode dreaming of who would be the perfect Smurf to marry and not finding the right one among her prospects, she ends up being the one who catches the bouquet that Laconia tosses after her wedding to her husband Woody, signifying that she's going to be the next one to marry someday. (As you might expect, she quickly gets a lot of attention from the other Smurfs right there.) | |

Short Cuts Make Long Delays: In the episode "The Trojan Smurf", the Smurfs must carry a big statue of Papa Smurf (which is really a Trojan Horse for Gargamel to infiltrate the Smurf Village) to the village, but cannot get it across the river because the bridge is too small. Brainy suggests a "short cut", which ends up taking the statue down a very steep slope, only to fall into a raging river that ends in a waterfall that Bigmouth is taking a bath at the bottom of, and said ogre mistakes the statue for a talking Papa Smurf doll. | |

Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul: The Well Wizard in the episode "Swapping Smurfs" turned Smurfs who went down to the bottom of the well into very happy zombies, all for the purpose of getting one of Papa Smurf's spellbooks so that the wizard could break the spell that kept him trapped in the well. Given that the very happy Smurfs also have the floppy part of their hats standing straight, one must wonder what the Well Wizard actually did with the Smurfs to make them appear that way. | |

Values Dissonance | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_9c6ba43a | comment |
Smurfette's origin in the comic books is less than commendable, with the Smurfs being unsympathetic to her, and Jokey almost urging her to commit suicide. They only start to accept her after Papa Smurf made her pretty and blonde with "plastic smurfery" and even absolve her of the accusation of flooding the village just because of that, in a clear sign of prejudice.note To make matters worse, at the end of the comic, Smurfette, embarrassed to see the male smurfs fighting among themselves because of her, simply leaves the village, and no one minds going out to look for her in the woods, making it clear that none of them really loved her. Her new origin in the cartoon, "The Smurfette", removes any discrediting traits of the Smurfs, making everyone accept her in the village with pleasure. And when she floods the village (still in the ugly phase, unlike the comic, where she is already beautiful), all the smurfs are willing to condemn her in the judgment, until they discover that she was coerced by Gargamel. So they absolve her and Papa Smurf turns her into a real smurf with magic (and that includes being pretty and blonde). | |

Continuity Nod | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: In the cartoon special "My Smurfy Valentine", Chlorhydris the evil witch spoke of Azrael having "royal blood in his veins" — which interestingly turns out to be true in Season 9's "Mummy Dearest" when the Smurfs meet his distant ancestor, the cat pharoah Azra. Three episodes in the series — "The Smurfbox Derby", "Handy's Window-Vision", and "Skyscraper Smurfs" — were continuity nods to visions Dreamy had of the future in "Gargamel's Miss-Fortune". A vision of Smurfette recalls to Dreamy's attention three past adventures he had been on — "The Last Smurfberry", "The Astro Smurf", and "Handy's Kite" — in "The Smurf Who Would Be King". In the Animated Adaptation of "The Fake Smurf", Hogatha mentions the destruction of her magic locket which occurred in "Bewitched, Bothered, And Be-Smurfed". See also Sequel Episode below. | |

The Smurfs (1981) / int_9e80f156 | comment |
Unfortunate Item Swap: In the episode "Wedding Bells For Gargamel", the Smurfs are so busy preparing a hope chest for Andria the baron's daughter that in their rush to get it finished Poet and Brainy bump into each other and Poet ends up putting the map to the Smurf Village into the hope chest while Brainy has Poet's wedding poem. And even worse, as it turns out that Andria's husband-to-be is Gargamel, the evil wizard finds the map in the hope chest and now wants to marry her in order to get his hands on the map. | |

Artistic Stimulation | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_9ee4e873 | comment |
Artistic Stimulation: Poet was the first to use the magic orb in "The Lure Of The Orb" in order to complete his spring pageant poem, from which he was able to write pages of verses, but after he was freed from the effects of the orb, Poet read what he wrote and was astonished with how the quality of his writing had suffered because of the orb. (Other users of the orb — Painter, Harmony, Farmer, and Handy — also realized that the quality of their work had suffered because of their addiction to the orb's magic.) He ends up scrapping the overly-long drug-created poem and writes a very short poem about how to deal with his problems taking no more than an hour before the pageant starts. | |

Early Personality Signs | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_a1a46946 | comment |
Early Personality Signs: All Smurf infants' first words are said to hint at their adult personalities to come. For instance, Brainy's was "Gobbledygook", which hints at his saying big words, Farmer's was "fertiliser", and Jokey's was "surprise" (hinting at his love to surprise people with exploding gifts). Baby's first word turns out to be "Gargamel", which Papa Smurf takes as a sign that he recognises his enemy and will therefore grow to be a great leader. | |

And There Was Much Rejoicing | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_a5cfe2ac | comment |
And There Was Much Rejoicing: In the episode "For The Love Of Gargamel", Gargamel and Azrael get turned to stone by the very potion the evil wizard intended to use on the Smurfs. The Smurfs take advantage of Gargamel's demise by having a celebration. Of course, Papa Smurf, realizing that they would be no better than Gargamel for leaving him and his cat in such a frozen state, does not join in the celebration, but rather has the Smurfs gather ingredients for a potion to unfreeze Gargamel and Azrael. Of course, Gargamel still rants and raves about getting even with the Smurfs after he and his cat are de-petrified. In the Season 2 intro, the Smurfs do a merry circle dance around a staked-down Gargamel and Azrael. In the season 6 episode "Gargamel's New Job", the wizard decided to move away, seemingly for good. The Smurfs were, naturally, overjoyed when they found his empty house, and were able to make up a new song on the spot:note Sadly, to stop a worse villain, they had to make sure he came back. | |

Weirdness Censor: In "Romeo And Smurfette", when the Smurfs capture Papa Smurf posing as Gargamel after a "Freaky Friday" Flip and stake him down, they refuse to believe that he is actually Papa Smurf despite the fact that he is clearly speaking to them in Papa Smurf's voice. Since this scene was actually adapted from the comic book story "Smurf Vs. Smurf", it's obvious that the attempt to translate this mistake in knowing who's actually in the appearance of Gargamel did not work as well as it did in the comic book, where even Hefty without his tattoo mark in the comic book version of "King Smurf" had trouble convincing his fellow Smurfs who he actually is. | |

Sticky Situation: In an animated episode, Gargamel tries to trap The Smurfs in a sticky glue trap, only to end up trapping Hogatha who is none too pleased about it. She demands to be freed from the trap, but Gargamel tells her to get herself out. Hogatha does, but she uses her magic to put Gargamel into his own sticky trap. In another episode, Gargamel casts a spell that causes the Smurfs to get stuck to each other, which Papa Smurf uses to his advantage by having the stuck Smurfs stick on Gargamel, forcing him to come up with a counter-spell that frees him and all the other Smurfs. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: In "Every Picture Smurfs A Story", Papa Smurf is captured on a portrait Painter painted of him using paints mixed with a magic elixir that is said to give paintings life, thus accidentally freeing Maestro from the canvas he was imprisoned on. Through the course of the episode, Painter's paints were swapped with Maestro's paints, and near the end when Painter is using his own paints to paint a portrait of Maestro to put him back on the canvas, Maestro ends up inadvertently giving Painter his own magicked paints, and with those paints Painter completed the portrait, sending Maestro back onto the canvas and freeing Papa Smurf in the process. | |

Plagiarism in Fiction: In the episode "Harmony Steals The Show", Harmony was accused of plagiarism when his accuser presented the argument before a judge that he wrote an original symphony for the Smurf to use as his own under a signed contract. Harmony was cleared of that charge when it is revealed that his accuser had plagiarized pieces of other musicians' works to create his "original" symphony. | |

Hollywood Mid-Life Crisis: Papa Smurf in the episode "Papa's Wedding Day" goes through his version of this when he keeps being reminded of how old he is by his little Smurfs. Sometime after he meets the young and beautiful Flowerbell the woodnymph, finding himself falling love with her, he dyes his beard a youthful shade of brown and has a dating relationship with Flowerbell that would have resulted in a marriage had not the Smurfs figured out that she was an infiltrator sent by the evil sorcerer Balthazar to capture the wisest Smurf of all. After the relationship had ended, Papa Smurf's beard goes back to being white, but he gains wisdom in knowing from the song that he sings to Flowerbell that "you're only as old as you think you are". | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: In "The Tallest Smurf," Farmer absentmindedly wishes he could make Slouchynote who was being made fun of for being shorter than the Smurflings a happier Smurlfing . . . within earshot of Gourdy. As a result, he and the rest of the Smurfs, minus Slouchy who wished to be the tallest Smurf, woke up the next morning the size of ants. This could also apply to the magic egg the Smurfs found, with the example of Papa Smurf saying to the three Papa Smurf impersonators, "If you're me, then I'm a monkey's uncle," while striking the egg...and then becoming a monkey! Sassette's wish to the magical blank book in "Bookworm Smurf" that she never wants to see another book again causes all the books in the world to vanish. Smurfette's Blessed with Suck ability of turning whatever she touches into candy in "Smurfette's Sweet Tooth". In "Paradise Smurfed", the three Smurfs in Bacchus' paradise wished for some excitement. They got more than they bargained for when Bacchus uses his powers to turn things in his paradise into death traps for the Smurfs during a game of "hide-and-hunt". | |

With a big wedding cake going to waste, Papa Smurf decides that they should all enjoy it together. | |

Magical Accessory: In "The Magic Earrings", Hogatha came across one half of a pair of magic earrings that she recognized could be used to track down the Smurfs, since these earrings could pick up sounds from around the world. She disguised herself as a Hot Witch in order to attract Gargamel's attention to get the other half of the earrings from him, which he bought from the same traveling salesman. However, when she was being drawn to the Smurf Village by the sound of Lazy's snoring, the Smurfs, who were aware of the magic earrings Hogatha had possessed, had Harmony play his usual awful music, which drove Hogatha away and into the water, where the earrings ended up being worn by a fish that happened to swim by. | |

Hypocritical Humor: In "Bigmouth Smurf", Bigmouth thinks he's a Smurf courtesy of Gargamel changing his skin blue and putting on Smurf clothes the ogre's size. Papa's telling Miner, Smurfette, Brainy and Tailor they have to be patient while the Smurf wizard keeps looking for a reversal spell. Cue Bigmouth knocking on Papa's mushroom: In another episode, as Smurfette tells the Smurflings how it (paraphrased) feels 'smurfy' to talk to the flowers, Nat gives the audience a side glance all the while saying (paraphrased) "talking to things that can't talk back is unsmurfy." The nature loving Smurfling then turns to his pet caterpillar and asks (again, paraphrased) "isn't that right?" to which the bug nods in agreement. | |

Literal Ass-Kicking: An animated episode involved a spot that appeared on someone's face and (apparently magically) made them unhappy. It could only be removed by kicking them in the butt, but this transferred it to the kicker. Cue an episode of the Smurfs unusually full of ass-kicking. Handy even devised a machine to do the kicking, only to find the machine's operator was considered the kicker. It turned out that kissing the spotted person made the spot vanish without a transfer. | |

Adaptational Backstory Change | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_ba46585b | comment |
Adaptational Backstory Change: The Smurfs comic books had the Smurfs' first encounter with Gargamel taking place within the present time period in "The Smurfnapper", where Gargamel abducts one Smurf to use for his gold-making formula and the other Smurfs spend the night in Gargamel's hovel seeking an opportunity to rescue the Smurf. In the Animated Adaptation, however, their first meeting with Gargamel happened about ten years prior to the present time period, as revealed in "Gargamel's Time Trip", when Gargamel sought to capture a Smurf to finish his sorcerer's school project so that he could graduate. Smurfette's origin in the comic books is less than commendable, with the Smurfs being unsympathetic to her, and Jokey almost urging her to commit suicide. They only start to accept her after Papa Smurf made her pretty and blonde with "plastic smurfery" and even absolve her of the accusation of flooding the village just because of that, in a clear sign of prejudice.note To make matters worse, at the end of the comic, Smurfette, embarrassed to see the male smurfs fighting among themselves because of her, simply leaves the village, and no one minds going out to look for her in the woods, making it clear that none of them really loved her. Her new origin in the cartoon, "The Smurfette", removes any discrediting traits of the Smurfs, making everyone accept her in the village with pleasure. And when she floods the village (still in the ugly phase, unlike the comic, where she is already beautiful), all the smurfs are willing to condemn her in the judgment, until they discover that she was coerced by Gargamel. So they absolve her and Papa Smurf turns her into a real smurf with magic (and that includes being pretty and blonde). | |

Incredible Shrinking Man | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_bab7fceb | comment |
Incredible Shrinking Man: The episode "The Incredible Shrinking Wizard", which combines this trope with a Green Aesop. Gargamel shrinks after falling into a muck pond polluted with his potions, and negative emotions cause him to shrink even further. Only by doing good deeds can he grow back to his original size. Another episode where Slouchy wishes to be the tallest Smurf causes the other Smurfs to be shrunk to bug size. | |

All the other Smurfs take sides, and things get so violent that Papa Smurf has to divide the village with a this is my side line to keep Team Hefty and Team Handy from killing each other.

The Smurfs (1981) / int_bbd66e42 | comment |
Just Fine Without You: In the episode "Papa's Day Off", the Smurfs try to show how self-reliant they are in taking care of their own problems in order to encourage Papa Smurf to take a day off. During his day off, Papa Smurf feels like his little Smurfs would be better off without him — until Homnibus shows him through his Imaginarium that in dire situations like Bigmouth eating up their smurfberry patches, they're still in need of him. And upon Papa Smurf's return to the village, he proves just how much he is needed by the other Smurfs when a log floating downstream nearly destroys the village dam. | |

The Smurfs (1981) / int_c97314e3 | comment |
Eat the Camera: The Season 9 intro has a transition where the camera zooms into Brainy's mouth and changes to the Smurfs (now wearing caveman clothes) coming out of a dinosaur's mouth. In "The Blue Plague", the camera zooms into Gargamel's mouth as he laughs at the end of his version of "Mean, Sour, Crafty, And Cruel" from Yogi's First Christmas. | |

Happiness Is Mandatory | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_c97c198d | comment |
Happiness Is Mandatory: Inverted in the episode "Happy Unhappiness Day To You", where unhappiness among the Smurfs is mandatory for one day. Strangely, this means that Grouchy can't be grumbling for one day! Possibly played straight in "A Hug For Grouchy", where hugs are mandatory for each Smurf on Hug-A-Smurf Day, and if you don't want a hug, some Smurfs will come and hug assault you! | |

Bankruptcy Barrel: A debt collector once took all the furniture from Gargamel's house and left him nothing but a barrel to wear. When Gargamel protested about being left like that, he said he'd come back later to take the barrel. Some Smurfs wore barrels once after they escaped from Gargamel's house. They were glued to the table and left their trousers there. | |

The Smurfs (1981) / int_caf8c66c | comment |
The Chains of Commanding: "Papa for a Day" explores this, as Papa Smurf's work is constantly interrupted by the others needing help building a storage area. At Grandpa Smurf's suggestion, the various others take turns being in charge to give Papa Smurf some time off and to see what being in charge is actually like. Everyone who gives it a try ends up disliking the job, either ignoring the advice of experts (and suffering for it), struggling to make key decisions, giving conflicting orders, and/or lacking the patience needed to manage others. As Handy observes in the end, being in charge takes more than a red hat and simply dishing out orders. | |

Of course, Brainy disqualifies himself by using one of Papa Smurf's magic books in order to make a magic gingerbread cookie, which becomes Anthropomorphic Food that multiplies and causes trouble in the village. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Not like there's so much to do, but the cartoon certainly is compared to the comic book. For instance, in the cartoon the Smurfs rarely broke out into brawls between each other and never used Symbol Swearing, while the tone for the cartoon is more lighthearted and saccharine compared to the comic book's irreverent and quirky tone. As of Season 5 onwards, dark elements from episodes of the first four seasons have been toned down due to the introduction of the Smurflings and Puppy, becoming sillier and more juvenile than truly frightening in the previous seasons. | |

It isn't until Mount St. Smurf erupts that Brainy and Hefty realize that Scaredy was right, with Brainy yelling, "The sky is smurfing! The sky is smurfing!" In "Papa's Wedding Day", the Smurfs overhear Flowerbell saying to herself that getting Papa Smurf to marry her is part of her plan to bring the wisest Smurf to Lord Balthazar and promptly try to warn Papa Smurf not to marry her. Papa Smurf refuses to listen to his little Smurfs' warnings, so the Smurfs resort to trying to sabotage parts of the wedding to dissuade Papa Smurf from marrying Flowerbell, to no avail. | |

Taken for Granite: The Smurfs in one episode were a victim to a spell that petrified them and half their forest, and would have stayed that way had Peewit not been able to convince two feuding sorcerers to stop fighting with each other and recite the incantation together that reverses the condition. Manfred the Magnificent, Chlorhydris' long-lost love in one episode, was turned into a statue by her witch rival Drusilla, who ended up becoming a statue herself when she tried to cast the petrifying spell on Sassette and Vanity. Gargamel himself was a victim of a potion that turned him and his cat Azrael into stone. Papa Smurf restored him to normal. Presumably the fate of Papa Smurf's former mentor Palladore in "The Smurfs' Time Capsule". | |

Revised Ending: The episode "The Lure Of The Orb" has two similar endings, both in which the Smurfs have their comeuppance with Allura. In one ending, Jokey gives Allura one of his surprises and it simply explodes and reveals the true face of Allura behind her kind gentle persona. In the other ending, Papa Smurf sprinkles some magic dust on Jokey's surprise so that, when he gives it to Allura, it explodes and turns Allura into a frog. The version with the latter ending (with its other change being that the Smurfs held captive by Allura in her fortress have chains on their legs) is usually shown in markets outside the United States. | |

Mustache Vandalism: Ironically, in the episode "Every Picture Smurfs A Story", Painter fixes up a picture of the artist Maestro (who turns out to be trapped in a portrait prison) by painting a mustache on him. Played straight in "Tattle-Tail Smurfs", when Brainy shows up with a copy of Quotations Of Brainy Smurf that has his face image defaced with a moustache...and Painter is seen holding a paintbrush behind his back. Also the Gingerbread Smurfs from the eponymous episode painted mustaches on the Smurfs, including Smurfette. | |

Given that the very happy Smurfs also have the floppy part of their hats standing straight, one must wonder what the Well Wizard actually did with the Smurfs to make them appear that way. | |

Contrived Coincidence: In Dreamy's Pen Pals, Gargamel has finally found the Smurf village thanks to his latest invention. Except that very same day, the Smurfs were turn into Swoofs so Dreamy could have his second trip in space. Disappointed that his Smurf detecting device didn't work, Gargamel returned back home. | |

However, the melon captures Selwyn speaking about needing to get rid of "that old bag of wind" (referring to a literal bag of wind) and Tallulah thinks that he's talking about her. | |

Drugs Are Bad: Very subtly done in the episode "Lure of the Orb", which involves an orb that causes anyone who touches it to become dependant on it. This is one of a number of episodes that comes close to being a Very Special Episode. Notably Nancy Reagan herself thanked the crew for "talking a stand" with the episode in a 1987 Emmy consideration ad. As it was made in support of her anti-drug campaign at the time. | |

Limited Animation: As with most Hanna-Barbera shows at the time, it originally started off as this. Some of the important actions were done off-screen, many of the animation was recycled, a handful of repeat pans were used and there was much less effort put into the acting. But as time went on, the art and animation got polished by the end of the series as the studio started farming their work overseas. | |

Mama Bear: In the episode, "Smurfette Unmade," this trope is what breaks Gargamel's spell that forcibly reverted Smurfette to her original evil black haired form. This happens when she captures the Smurfs and Gargamel is about to kill Baby Smurf first for his goldmaking spell; Smurfette's conscience angrily flares up in defiance to this evil and suddenly she is transformed back into her blond form, furiously throwing around explosive vials of unstable magic potion until she sends the villains flying out of the house before she rescues the Smurfs. | |

Going Commando: Averted at least in one episode where Clumsy in a play draws his sword and his pants fall down. For the most part, though, it's only implied that the male Smurfs don't wear any underpants. Accidentally played straight in "Papa's Big Snooze" and “Karate Clumsy,� leading to what appears to be Barbie Doll Anatomy. Also thankfully averted with Smurfette, where in one episode as she is seen falling down a shaft and the camera shifts from a frontal shot to a rear shot. | |

Clingy Costume: In "Hats Off To Smurfs," Vanity's new yellow hat becomes this after his face starts becoming disfigured from soaking it in water. Since the hat was made from magic fabric created by Gargamel, the Smurfs make a similar hat for the evil wizard in order to force him to come up with the antidote. | |

Freudian Slip | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_e8ca5cb3 | comment |
Freudian Slip: Gargamel in the episode "Gargamel The Generous" tries to hide the fact that his sudden niceness to the Smurfs is because he wants the diamonds that they have found, though he accidentally refers to Papa Smurf as Papa Diamonds. | |

All Just a Dream: Lazy, Brainy, and Greedy enter a paradise world behind a waterfall in "Paradise Smurfed", where its master eventually tries to imprison them for his own purposes. Brainy and Greedy escape, but Lazy doesn't. Fortunately, Lazy finds out that it was all just a dream. Or Was It a Dream?: Dreamy Smurf in "The Smurf Who Would Be King" dreams that he has been taken to the land of the Pookies, who have been waiting for his return to deliver them from the tyrannical Norf Nags. The end of the episode, however, may suggest otherwise, as Dreamy trips over a crystal similar to the ones seen in his dream. | |

Bewitched Amphibians | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_eaa2b8f8 | comment |
Bewitched Amphibians: The cartoon show had a few princes turned into frogs, twice by sorcerers and once by Hogatha the witch. One prince-turned-frog was Prince Theodore, whose human appearance was switched with that of a frog by Morlock the wizard who sought to control the prince's kingdom by using the frog-in-prince-form as his lackey. In "The Good, The Bad, And The Smurfy", a king and his court were turned into frogs by a treacherous sorcerer, whom himself was turned into a frog by Papa Smurf. In an alternate ending for "The Lure Of The Orb" which was shown in markets outside the United States, Papa Smurf altered Jokey's surprise so that it turned Allura into a frog. | |

Improbable Hairstyle: The sequence of hairstyles that Barber Smurf tries out on Smurfette in "Smurfette's Golden Tresses", that don't seem to take the time and place (Medieval Europe) into account (in order, these are: big 80s hair, two very thick braids, multiple spiky tails, and cornrows.) For that matter, Smurfette's hair in general looks like she uses product in her hair to give it body. | |

Edible Treasure: The episode "Spelunking Smurfs" had the Smurfs discovering a treasure trove of frozen food hidden in a cave along with a diamond and a frozen ogre who stole both the food and the diamond. The Smurfs used Vanity's mirrors to reflect the sunlight unto the diamond so that the food would be unfrozen, but it also unfroze the ogre, who tried to stop the Smurfs from taking his food. When Papa Smurf reminded him of what the diamond did to him the last time he was selfish, the ogre allowed them to take what they needed along with the diamond. Soon after, Gargamel caught the Smurfs and took the diamond from the Smurfs, and because of his selfish heart, the diamond sealed up Gargamel in ice. | |

Would Hit a Girl: Hefty attempts on hitting Smurfette in the cartoon adaptation of "The Smurfette" after she fesses up she's taking orders from Gargamel. In "Romeo and Smurfette", when Gargamel is inside Papa Smurf's body, Smurfette (still hypnotized by Gargamel) tries to seduce him with flattering words, thinking he is Papa Smurf, but Gargamel, impatient to return to normal, beats Smurfette up and goes on his way. In "Now You Smurf 'Em, Now You Don't", Smurfette competes for the crystal ball with the other smurfs. If Papa Smurf didn't intervene, the mess could end in a fight. | |

Broken Masquerade: Know that beautiful paradise world of Bacchus that Lazy, Brainy, and Greedy stepped into in "Paradise Smurfed"? Well, a globe from an Atlas statue breaks a hole in a wall and reveals a dark foreboding castle behind it, where Bacchus' chef prepares his master's meals, and the meal for the day is souffle a la Smurf! Fortunately, this is All Just a Dream. Also the world of the Swoofs in "Dreamy's Pen Pals", since the Smurfs decided to turn the entire Smurf Village into that by using stage props to cover over the Smurf houses. Gargamel's appearance almost blows the whole masquerade, but the spell for turning Smurfs into Swoofs which Brainy had cut corners in completing does the job when the Swoofs turn back into Smurfs prematurely. | |

The Smurflings help rescue Vanity by making the Creepodile feast on a gourd dressed up in royal clothes instead. In the Season 9 episode "Gnoman Holiday", Julius Geezer has his victims be thrown into the coliseum to deal with the Felions. | |

Friendship-Hating Antagonist: Chlorhydris is an evil witch who tries to destroy all love in the world, as she can't stand the thought of anyone being friendly or compassionate. The wizard she intended to marry never showed up at the altar on her wedding night, and she's despised love ever since. | |

Fictional Holiday | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_f609fcfe | comment |
Fictional Holiday: The series has Rainbow Day, in which the Smurfs celebrate the appearance of a rainbow in the sky on a specific day of the year. There's also the Feast Of Plenty, which is the closest thing they have to Thanksgiving, the Firefly Festival, in which a Smurf must go to the Great Swamp to light a torch with the Foxfire to light up a firefly pinata before the end of the second day, and the infamous Hug-A-Smurf Day which Grouchy hates. Of course, there's every Smurf's least favorite holiday, Unhappiness Day, where UnHappiness Is Mandatory for a full day. | |

Dude, Where's My Respect? | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_f818b637 | comment |
Dude, Where's My Respect?: What gets "Greedy Goes on Strike" going. The others express disappointment with the same old breakfast every day, so Greedy tries to mix it up for lunch. Everyone chows down in quick order, but no one thanks him for his hard work. He's mollified when Smurfette invites him to dinner, only to learn she expected him to make dinner for her and the other guests (all of whom expect him to just get to work and act like he has nothing better to do than make them food). He declares he's going on strike, only making food for himself and no one else. While the others try and fail to make food without him, Greedy ends up in the service of a Big Eater gnome king and relates to the prince (who feels unappreciated by his father). | |

Running Gag | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Let's see, where to begin... Harmony's horrible music playing. Vanity looking at himself in a mirror. Clumsy being...well, clumsy. Brainy being an insuffrable Know-Nothing Know-It-All who claims to be Papa Smurf's assistant, and insists everyone listen to him, because he thinks both he and Papa Smurf are always right, and furthermore... Getting tossed out of the village afterwards. "I hate running gags!" Greedy "sampling" his own cooking, or just eating in general. Any of the Smurfs' not getting Painter's French accent, resulting in their literal interpretation of his pronounciation of the word "masterpiece". Jokey's "surprises" "Is it much further, Papa Smurf?" "Not far now." "Is it much further, Papa Smurf?..."note "YES, IT IS!!", etc. Peewit's "singing" Peewit trying to tell Johan something important only to be told he'll listen to him later. Gargamel thinking he's caught (one of) the Smurfs, only to find that he "caught" Bigmouth instead. | |

Blank Book: Sassette in the episode "Bookworm Smurf" encounters a book that's initially blank in Papa Smurf's laboratory, but then it has the words "if these words are read by you, whatever you say next will come true" suddenly appear on the pages. Sassette then uses the book to make a wish that she never wants to see another book again, and then suddenly all the books in the world vanish. | |

The Dog Bites Back | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_fb3576b2 | comment |
The Dog Bites Back: Azrael gets a lot of verbal and physical abuse from Gargamel, so he always takes full advantage whenever the opportunity for this occurs. "The Incredible Shrinking Wizard" and "Azrael's Brain" are particularly noteworthy examples of this, as Gargamel is too tiny to defend himself in the former and completely outclassed magically in the latter. Naturally, things always revert to normal in the end, forcing Azrael to beat his paws in the face of an angry Gargamel. Scruple has his own opportunities to get back at Gargamel, such as when he gained control over Gourdy the genie or when a spell reversed their ages (making Scruple the full-grown adult and Gargamel the weaker halfpint). As with Azrael, Scruple's payback always backfired on him in the end. | |

Never Trust a Title | |
The Smurfs (1981) / int_fb7bc4a8 | comment |
Never Trust a Title: The episode "Hefty And The Wheelsmurfer" is called "Fortachon y Pitufina" ("Hefty And Smurfette") in the Spanish dub, despite the fact that the episode isn't exclusively about Hefty and Smurfette in any sort of relationship. Perhaps a bit of Fan Shipping took place when the developers of the Spanish dub were looking for a suitable title for the episode? | |

You Mean "Xmas": Because Halloween is the day that the Smurfs celebrate Jokey's birthday, a similar holiday called Spook-A-Smurf Eve is celebrated by the main characters in the episode "Monster Smurfs." There's also Smurfy Friendship Day, which is basically a second Valentine's Day for the Smurfs, and the Feast Of Plenty, which is probably the closest thing they have to a Thanksgiving. | |

Depending on the Writer: Most of the characters would vary in characterization, depending on who was writing them. For example, Brainy Smurf can be portrayed as caring and sympathetic sometimes, while at other times can be self centered, egotistical, selfish and a tyrant. | |
