* [[Gender Equals Breed]]: Hinted at in a painting that Painter Smurf had created of Papa Smurf and his prospective bride Flowerbell the woodnymph in the episode "Papa's Wedding Day", with their offspring being male Smurfs.

* [[Literal Ass Kicking]]: An animated episode involved a spot that appeared on someone's face and (apparently magically) made them unhappy.

Handy even devised a machine to do the kicking, only to find the machine's operator was considered the kicker. {{spoiler|It turned out that kissing the spotted person made the spot vanish without a transfer.}}
