* [[And There Was Much Rejoicing]]: In the episode "For The Love Of Gargamel", Gargamel and Azrael get [[Taken for Granite|turned to stone]] by [[Hoist by His Own Petard|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 [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him|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 [[Save the Villain|a potion to unfreeze Gargamel and Azrael]]. Of course, [[Ungrateful Bastard|Gargamel still rants and raves about getting even with the Smurfs]] after he and his cat are de-petrified. |

* [[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. |

** 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. |

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: In the ''Supersmurf'' TV episode, Bigmouth the ogre had just stolen the Smurf's entire warehouse of food and the Smurfs were trying (obviously) to get it back.

* [[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. |

* [[Meat |
* [[Meat-O-Vision]]: The smurf-colored glasses that Handy created in the eponymous episode, which enabled Smurfs to see anyone as handsome and harmless, allows Bigmouth to see Gargamel and Azrael as a pair of walking delectables, which caused Bigmouth to chase Gargamel and Azrael into the forest while the Smurfs make their escape. |

* [[Media Watchdogs]]: 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. |

* [[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.
