== Tropes appearing specifically in the animated series: ==
* [[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 [[Second Coming|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.
* [[All Webbed Up]]: Papa Smurf in "The Magnifying Mixture" got spun into a cocoon when he accidentally spilled the enlarging formula onto a small spider.
* [[Alternative Foreign Theme Song]]: The cartoon show uses a different theme song from the American version for foreign markets during the introduction sequence.
Line 36:
* [[Droste Effect]]: In "Now You Smurf ‘Em, Now You Don‘t", There's a scene where Vanity brings Greedy a painting of himself bringing a painting of himself in the exact pose he stands in when presenting it.
* [[Endless Daytime]]: In "Queen Smurfette", Father Time fails to bring the close of the day on Smurfette's birthday, resulting in the day never ending until Papa Smurf brings it to Father Time's attention.
* [[Evil Tastes Good]]: In the cartoon, Gargamel usually wanted to eat the Smurfs, and went on and on about it. [[hottip:*:In the comics, he initially needs a smurf as an ingredient for a potion that would [[Philosopher's Stone|turn lead into gold]]. Then, after repeated humiliations, [[
* [[Executive Meddling]]: "The Purple Smurfs" were black in the original book. Very probably done to avoid any [[Unfortunate Implications]].
** The change also happens in the Papercutz translation of the original comic book story to English.
** Even earlier in a Random House publication of ''Smurfery'' in "Romeo And Smurfette", where the black paint Jokey uses to disguise himself as a Black Smurf to play a prank on somebody was changed to green (and now purple in the Papercutz reprint).
* [[Explosive Breeder]]: The fuzzles in "Fuzzle Trouble".
* [[Fantastic Drug]] / [[G
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: In season 9, the Smurfs get stuck travelling through time, stopping at different time periods as they attempt to get back home. The series ended [[Cut Short|before they could]].
* [[Flower From the Mountaintop]]: This was the plot of a TV episode; subverted at the end when the [[Abominable Snowman]] reveals that there are actually hundreds of the flowers growing up there.
Line 57:
* [[Getting the Boot]]: On the TV series, Brainy gets tossed out of the village at least [[Once an Episode]]. 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.
* [[Glass Shattering Sound]]: Harmony's playing the triangle at a pitch that makes Brainy's glasses crack in "Smurphony In 'C'", and Denisa's scream that makes the vials in Gargamel's hovel shatter in "Denisa's Greedy Doll".
* [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]: Appears in a few episodes in the form of Angel Smurf and Devil Smurf whenever a Smurf is tempted with a moral dilemma.
** [[Hey
* [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|Grandpa, What Massive Smurfiness You Have!]]: Implied by Flowerbell in "Papa's Wedding Day" when she's trying to win Papa Smurf's heart.
* [[Granny Classic]]: Mother Nature and Nanny Smurf.
* [[Green Aesop]]: "The Incredible Shrinking Wizard", which deals with Gargamel polluting the Smurf river and the effect that it has on both the wizard and the river's inhabitants.
Line 67:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Flowerbell the woodnymph, does a [[Heel Face Turn]] in the episode "Papa's Wedding Day", where she tricks Papa Smurf into marrying her so that he could be captured by Lord Balthazar in exchange for her freedom. Realizing what she had done, she aligns herself with the Smurfs so that she could help rescue Papa Smurf.
* [[Hell Gate]]: Oddly enough, one seems to appear in the Christmas special, in the form of the stranger's travelling spell when he moves to try to steal away the two children.
* [[I Ate What?]]: In "Hogatha's Heart Throb", Gargamel disguised as Hogatha's dream date is offered a refreshment that he enjoys until the witch reveals that he was drinking "snail mead".
* [[I Am Not Spock]]: Francisco Colmenero is still remembered for his voice as Papa Smurf in Spanish (along with [[Disney Classic Shorts|Peg-Leg Pete]]). Same for Esteban Siller as Gargamel.
* [[I Believe That You Believe It]]: There was one TV episode about a daydreaming smurf meeting an alien, and while Papa Smurf did not just believe him he said that at least he thought that it was possible. This got its reward in the end of the episode, when he also would see the alien's spaceship leaving (with the rest of the smurfs still believing the other smurf to be crazy).
Line 93:
* [[Messianic Archetype]] / [[Rightful King Returns]]: Dreamy Smurf in a dream is treated by the Pookies as this when his [[Second Coming]] portends that they will be able to defeat the tyrannical Norf Nags.
* [[Mirror Cracking Ugly]]: Hogatha's mirror cracks when she inspects herself and sees that she has dry skin in "The Golden Smurf Award".
* [[Moral Guardians]]: In addition to the "obvious" Communism metaphor (see [[What Do You Mean
* [[Mother Nature]]: A matronly Mother Nature is a [[Recurring Character]].
* [[Mummy]]: The Moon-Eyed Mummy in "Mummy Dearest".
* [[My God, What Have I Done?|My Smurfness, What Have I Done?]]: Grouchy's reaction to making Jokey disappear by using the word "kaplowey" on him in anger, followed by a very sad "I hate...myself".
* [[Never Mess With Granny]]: Nanny Smurf is one tough elderly Smurfette.
* [[Never Say Die]]: Surprisingly enough, averted. The words "die" and "dead" are used in several episodes; the most notable one being [[Tear Jerker|the episode "Squeaky".]]
Line 106:
* [[Phantom Zone Picture]]: Painter Smurf starts painting these in one episode, which ends up trapping Papa Smurf into a painting.
* [[Phony Psychic]]: Gargamel and the Smurfs run into a pair of them in "Gargamel's Miss-Fortune".
* [[Poorly
* [[Popcultural Osmosis]]: The animated Saturday morning show used nothing but clips of classical music for mood and theme setting.
* [[Public Domain Soundtrack]]
Line 113:
* [[Refugee From TV Land]]: An episode of the TV series has the in-universe fictional character Don Smurfo (a Smurf [[Zorro]] expy) enter into the real universe of the Smurfs.
* [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]
* [[Rent
* [[Rump Roast]]: The cave child Grog is given toasted tooties near the end of "Lost In The Ages".
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: At the climax of "The Smurfette" (an adaptation of the story where Smurfette first appeared), Smurfette disguises herself as "The Lone Smurf" and even [[Larynx Dissonance|disguised her voice]], though she still has [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics|visible eyelashes]].
Line 120:
* [[Scotireland]]: Miner Smurf is spoken of as having either an Irish or a Scottish accent.
* [[The Scottish Trope]]: "The Kaplowey Scroll" proved that the word "kaplowey" was dangerous when Grouchy used it on Jokey after being the butt of one of his pranks, and after that every Smurf feared to say anything ever again.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Greedy was like this in one episode when he decided to go on strike from being the village cook and leave the village to offer his service for someone who really cares about his craft. Poet and Painter were also like this in another episode, and so was Smurfette and the Smurflings when hardly any of the Smurfs were paying attention to them.
* [[Second Coming]]: Dreamy Smurf 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, [[Or Was It a Dream?|may suggest that it was otherwise]], as Dreamy trips over a crystal similar to the ones seen in his dream.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Their plays based on [[Robin Hood]] and [[The Three Musketeers (Literature)|The Three Musketeers]] were examples of this.
* [[Skip of Innocence]]: Smurfette often does this when she joyfully has a walk in the forest, in various albums of the series.
Line 144:
* [[Voodoo Doll]]: A variant of this trope appears in the episode "Denisa's Greedy Doll" when Gargamel puts Greedy's apron on Denisa's doll and casts a spell on it so that whatever happens to the doll wearing the apron also affects Greedy. The Smurfs turn the tables by having the doll wear fabric from Gargamel's robe.
* [[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.
* [[We Want Our Jerk Back]]: In "The Essence Of Brainy", Brainy once loses his [[Know
* [[What the Fu Are You Doing]]: "Karate Clumsy" is built entirely around this trope.
* [[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.
