More worthy of my bigoted contempt: Elves or Smurfs?

Elves.

Smurfs are annoying in many ways, but no Smurf ever pretended to be better than you while ignoring your problems and heading over the sea to their eternal paradise that you aren’t invited to.

The fact that he’s spent more time making out with Keira Knightley than I have is all the reason I need.

I’ve offered you a 5% discount on a KK model hookerbot, man. Save your lunch money.

Elves – been around longer and more of them to hate. Having contempt for Smurfs is like having contempt for Tana Tuvians <sic?> ---------- who really cares?

Smurfs. Why are we even debating this? Little, blue, carolling, hyper, happy, trouble-making imps. Punt them into the sea! (Or wherever your hypotheticals may take you)

Nooo! If Smurfs are bad, Snorks are soooo much worse.

Meh, I like book Legolas. :slight_smile: But other than that, the elves (including Galadriel), can go to the sea (with the Snorks).

I used to watch Snorks and Smurfs when I was a little kid. I preferred the Smurfs. And like said above, the Smurfs will try and be helpful (most of them, anyways), unlike the elves which will ignore your problems and go to their paradise.

If the plural form were Smurves rather than Smurfs, they would less contemptible than they really are. If it were Smerrows, even less so.

Oh, Bravo, Spectre. Bravo!

Smurfs, those little blue bastards. Hate away.

Thus it is written in BOTR, and thus I believe.

I misread the title as :

"More worthy of my bigoted contempt: Elvis or Smurfs? "

If you had blasphemed against the King Of Rock & Roll, I would have had to kill you.

Stop creating straw elves!

Smurfs are tiny, dumb, amusing only to children, very annoying and all one color. Elves are bigger, wise, good-looking, skilled in many things and long-lived. Why is this even a debate? All Smurfs must die.

Which reminds me: Elvish Presley - Imgur

You’ve got a point there.

The Shoemaker and the Elvises

Elroy Half-Smurven would disagree with statement.

I remember reading one of those articles about how The Smurfs was about the evils of Capitalism as represented by The greedy Gargamel wanting to destroy the Smurfs peaceful, utopian Communist and/or socialist village and turn them into gold.

The female elves are sexy so I’ll say hold the useless hippy smurfs in contempt and turn them into gold and melt them down.

(Nods towards MrDibble in a magisterial yet not uncordial manner.)

All of those seem perfectly consistent with hating them, to me.

Smurfs are easier to hate - there are no “half-smurfs” (to the best of my crystal ball’s knowledge).

But if you go the elves route then you have to deal with the whole impure bloodline problem. How much elf is too much to bear?*
