Line 39:
== Baker Smurf == [[File:BakerSmurf_3743.jpg|frame]]
A Smurf who bakes bread, cakes and pies, and takes great pleasure in his work. Appears only in the comic books and the live-action movie, where he is voiced by B.J. Novack; in the cartoon his role is taken by Greedy Smurf.
* [[Name's the Same]]: Chef Smurf was known as Baker Smurf sometimes, until "the Finance Smurf" when this bread-baking Smurf appeared as a separate character with a different hat.
Line 45:
== Barber Smurf ==[[File:BarberSmurf_2994.jpg|frame]]
The village barber and hair stylist. Doesn't see a lot of work because only a few Smurfs actually have hair, but when he does work, he does so with great enthusiasm, chatting and singing to his customers in a vague Italian accent.
* [[Always Camp]]: He's an "artist."
Line 76:
== Carpenter Smurf ==[[File:CarpenterSmurf_9408.jpg|frame]]
Appearing only in the comic, and only in minor roles in two stories, this Smurf provides wood for constructions (as opposed to Lumberjack Smurf, who provides firewood), and also makes furniture. He doesn't appear in the cartoon, as the "carpentry" part of his job is provided by Handy Smurf and the "wood providing" part by Timber Smurf.
== Chef Smurf/Cook Smurf ==[[File:CookSmurf_6027.jpg|frame]]
Line 186:
== Flighty Smurf ==[[File:FlightySmurf_140.jpg|frame]]
The world's most indecisive Smurf, Flighty can't make his mind up about anything. Voiced by Paul Winchell in the cartoon show.
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: In the comic; not so much in the cartoon.
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: First appeared in the cartoon before his appearance in "The Smurfs and the Book that Says It All"
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Though there ''is'' an indecisive Smurf who shows up for a couple of scenes in the comic book version of "The Smurfs and the Magic Egg," who causes a bit of annoyance when he can't decide what to wish for. This Smurf is never actually identified as Flighty Smurf, but it's very likely that it is him.
== Flying Smurf/Thief Smurf/Aviator Smurf ==[[File:FlyingSmurf_5348.gif|frame]]
Line 224:
* [[Mad Libs Catchphrase]]: "I hate (...)"
* [[Pet the Dog]]: In the album where Baby Smurf is introduced, when Grouchy Smurf learns that the stork is coming back to take away Baby Smurf, he decides to take him away in the woods because he doesn't want him to leave. When he eventually returns, he cries and shows more emotion that he has ever done in the series.
* [[Punctuated!
== Gutsy Smurf ==[[File:GutsySmurf_8694.png|frame]]
Line 243:
* [[Bamboo Technology]]: He's an expert with this.
* [[Bungling Inventor]]: Mostly his inventions work perfectly -- but even so, a lot of them tend to lead to disaster because they're either used wrong or Handy has failed to consider all the angles.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: with Marina the mermaid.
Line 260:
The village athlete and strongman; he's the strongest and fittest of all the Smurfs and is usually called upon to perform the toughest physical tasks. Voiced by Frank Welker in the cartoon show, and Gary Basaraba in the live-action movie.
* [[The Big Guy]]: Plays this role to the other Smurfs, despite being the same physical size.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Of the gentler kind.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: He's a major character in both comics and cartoon, but only appears in a few scenes in the live-action movie.
* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Disguised himself as Smurfette to protect her from the unwanted affections of a troll king.
* [[Men Don't Cry]]: Considers Weepy a sissy for his excessive crying, but ends up crying himself.
Line 284:
* [[Drunk with Power]]: He was a completely normal Smurf until he got into power -- then he quickly became a tyrant, began wearing "kingly" clothes, demanded absolute respect and obedience from everyone, got Hefty and other strong Smurfs to act as his bodyguards, threw Smurfs in prison for petty crimes....
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Played rather darkly when he chuckles and chides Hefty for being angry with Jokey over the usual "exploding surprise" gift box -- but when he himself is the victim of a similar gift box a couple of panels later, he completely flips his lid and has Jokey thrown in jail. This turns out to be the [[This Is Unforgivable!|last straw]] for a number of Smurfs, and thus the rebellion and civil war kicks off in earnest.
* [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]]
Line 326:
* [[Dug Too Deep]]: A variant of this happens at one point, when Miner (aided by an unwitting Clumsy) discovers an underground civilization of gnomes who ended up taking the Smurfs as slaves. {{spoiler|Luckily the gnomes end up being [[Good All Along]], only taking the Smurfs because they are responsible for keeping the Earth's core hot, have worked themselves to exhaustion and are desperate for a break. A few convenient inventions by Handy solves the problem, and gnomes and Smurfs part in friendship.}}
* [[Scotireland]]: Miner Smurf is spoken of as having either an Irish or a Scottish accent.
* [[Worthless Yellow Rocks]]: He's struck gold a couple of times, but never saw any use for it.
== Narrator Smurf ==[[File:NarratorSmurf_5269.png|frame]]
Line 344:
* [[Fountain of Youth]]: Father Time's clock de-ages him to a Smurfling.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]
* [[Speaks Fluent Animal]]: Is shown to be able to communicate with animals on levels that other Smurfs can't.
== Nobody Smurf/Somebody Smurf ==[[File:NobodySmurf_8149.jpg|frame]]
A Smurf with no distinct character traits whatsoever. Tired of being a "Nobody," he went looking for a character trait that could give him a new name, but discovered that his true talent was being indistinct, after which he changed his name to "Somebody Smurf." Appeared only in the cartoon show.
* [[Generic Guy]]: He's viewed as this.
Line 393:
== Postman Smurf ==[[File:PostmanSmurf_8656.jpg|frame]]
Appears only in the comics -- first for a brief one-page gag, then in an extended role in the German magazine, where he curiously enough comes with mail from ''another Smurf village'' -- the only time in any continuity where it's directly stated that there is more than one Smurf village.
* [[Horse of a Different Color]]: He rides a ''[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110423204454/smurfs/images/5/5d/Postmansmurf2.jpg snake.]''
== Potter Smurf ==[[File:PotterSmurf_9227.jpg|frame]]
Line 407:
A Smurf who just can't find it in himself to say no to anyone, no matter what they ask him to do. Appears only in the [[Animated Adaptation]].
* [[Extreme Doormat]]: Until the end of the story "The Smurf Who Couldn't Say No".
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
Line 435:
Appears only in the comic books.
* Nick[[Name's the Same]]: With Tailor Smurf in the original French. Which makes for a few confusing scenes when Papa Smurf calls for one and the other appears. (This isn't completely consistent, though, so it's possible that he eventually got tired of the miscommunications and changed his name.)
== Showoff Smurf ==
Line 441:
== Sloppy Smurf/Smelly Smurf ==[[File:SloppySmurf_1345.jpg|frame]]
The village garbage collector, with a passion for collecting really smelly things. He has a pet fly named Fly.
* [[A Dog Named "Dog"|A Fly Named "Fly"]]
* [[The Pig Pen]]
Line 520:
The world's most handsome Smurf; at least if you ask him. He's easily identified by the flower he's stuck in his hat and the handheld mirror he usually carries around so that he can look at himself whenever he wants. Voiced by Alan Oppenheimer in the cartoon show, and by John Oliver in the live-action movie.
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Next to the [[Smurfette Principle]] and the alleged Communist propaganda, Vanity's sexuality is one of the most joked-about aspects of the franchise.
* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: Sees himself as the most handsome Smurf, but, tohuman eyes at least, he's identical to all the others.
* [[Narcissist]]
Line 542:
The Smurf who cries and sobs about everything. To Weepy Smurf, life is one huge tragedy no matter what happens -- if bad things happen, that's horribly sad, but if good things happen, that's sad too because they won't last.
* [[Tears of Fear]]
* [[Tears of Joy]]
* [[Tears of Remorse]]
* [[Tender Tears]] ...you get the point.
Line 594:
== Baby Smurf ==
Brought to the Smurf village by stork on the night of the blue moon, and has since then been the darling of all the Smurfs.
* [[Child Mage]]: In the animated series, though never when anyone else is watching.
Line 605:
The second female Smurf created after Smurfette. Voiced by Julie McWhirter-Dees in the cartoon show.
* [[Affirmative Action Girl]]: Her whole raison d'etre is to give Smurfette some female company.
** [[Two Girls to a Team]]
* [[Braids of Action]]: Her usual hairstyle.
Line 661:
== The King ==
The benevolent, white-bearded ruler of the kingdom and also the king that Johan and Peewit serve under, he is one of the few humans who has befriended the Smurfs. He's not particularly strong-willed or authoritative, but he has a good heart and generally wants the best for his subjects. Voiced by Bob Holt in the cartoon show.
* [[Dude in Distress]]: Whenever he plays a big role in the stories, it's most often as this.
* [[No Name Given]]: He's only ever called "The King" or "Your Majesty," his actual name is never mentioned.
Line 668:
== Princess Savina ==
A not-so-proper princess, niece of the King and cousin of King Gerard, who would much rather join in on Johan and Peewit's many adventures than be stuck at the palace under the watchful eyes of her governess, Dame Barbara. Voiced by Jennifer Darlin in the cartoon show.
* [[Action Girl]]: She really wants to be one, but as her governess forbids her from doing anything "improper" she doesn't get many chances to.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Plays this in some episodes, even if she's usually resourceful enough to at least try to save herself.
Line 682:
* [[Chaste Hero]]
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Peewit.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: Again, with Peewit -- in the ''[[Johan and Peewit]]'' comics they're the main [[Odd Couple]]
== Peewit ==
Line 693:
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: At first glance he can come across as a [[Lovable Coward]] with [[Miles Gloriosus]] tendencies, but he'll step out without fail and perform brave feats if his friends are in trouble.
* [[Dreadful Musician]]
* [[Giftedly Bad]]: Most notably at music, but the few times he tries his hand at magic his failures tend to be truly spectacular -- not that this ever stops him from thinking of himself as talented and brilliant.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Johan.
* [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]]: His singing "The Ballad Of Friendship" in ''[[The Smurfs and the Magic Flute]]'' is so bad that it brings on the rain. He also gets constantly kicked off the stage by the minstrels playing for The King in the same movie.
Line 733:
* [[Cute Mute]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Her name is a play on the term ''laconic'', which means "using few words; expressing much in few words; concise".
== Marina ==
A young mermaid from the underwater kingdom of Atlantica, sho shows up in a handful of episodes and functions as Handy Smurf's [[Love Interest]].
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Or ''mermaid'' out of water, when on land. By contrast, Handy plays the same [[Fish Out of Water]] role when under the water, being a Smurf ''In'' Water. The relationship is... difficult.
Line 786:
Gargamel's nephew and apprentice, a [[Bratty Half-Pint]] who was more or less dumped onto his uncle after he was kicked out of sorcerer's school for causing trouble with the teachers. He helps Gargamel out with his plans, though is often less than enthusiastic about it. Voiced by Brenda Vaccaro in the cartoon show.
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Like Azrael, he doesn't think much of Gargamel's intelligence. ''Unlike'' Azrael, he can clearly let Gargamel know in exact words what he thinks.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: He quickly catches on to the fact that Gargamel's plans never work as they should, and often takes precautions for that.
* [[Ironic Name]]: Despite being called Scruple, he doesn't appear to have any.
