Who is your favorite smurf(s)?

In My Humble Opinion
1

My choices:

It’s a tie between Genius and Strong. (I don’t know if those are the correct English names, so you will have to excuse me if I messed them up. I watched the show in Spanish and sometimes translations will differ.)

So, smurf-lovin’ dopers, which one is your favorite? If enough votes are received, I will tally the results in order to select the Official Smurf of the SDMB. You can name as many as you want, but try to narrow your list as much as possible. You are also welcomed to mention the reasons behind your choices.

Merry X-mas, and a happy new…Millenium!!!

Brainy and Brawny.

3

Me!

Obviously, you must look at my website to get the joke.

4

Brainy is my personal favorite, but I’ve always held a special affinity for Papa Smurf…

5

I always liked Pimp Daddy Smurf and Ninja Assassin Smurf.

6

Gargamel and Azrael.

Yes, I know they weren’t smurfs. But anyone (or anything) that gets rid of Smurfs can’t be all bad. :smiley:

Sigh. Those aren’t smurfs!

I too had an affection for Papa Smurf.

But my favirote one would have to be Handy Smurf. I remember liking him.

I heard somewhere that the smurfs were cancelled because they were symbolic of the KKK (Yeah my source wasn’t too reliable…:rolleyes:) Any truth to this?

8

Wasn’t it Hefty? (as opposed to Brawny)

9

Yeah actually i believe it was…
And his converse, weakling smurf.
What was the name of the one who was well endowed in the culinary arts? French Chef Smurf?

10

wasn’t it bakey smurf the one who did all the cooking?

Here are some of the regulars:

My favourite was the artist smurf. Or was it the poet? I dunno, he used to speak in French and call everyone a foo-el.

12

For me, it was all about Brainy Smurf.

The only good Smurf is a dead Smurf.

14

I always liked Grumpy Smurf, probably because he was the least Smurf-like.

15

Brainy and Hefty kick ass.

Smurfette, on the other hand, can KISS my ass.

16

Papa smurf.

Seems like, as I had expected, the Spanish translations of the smurfs’ names were all fucked up.

The guy you call brainy was mistranslated as philosopher smurf. I really hated that snotty, overly verbose dude. Actually, I felt bad for the little guy; he was too smart and presumptuous for his own good. In any case, both names are appropriate descriptions for the tiny blue intellectual.

The guy I referred to as Genius is the one called Handy. Once again, both names provide a good characterization of his abilities.

The one I called strong is Hefty. No confusions there.

With those clarifications having being made, I proceed to restate my two favorites smurfs, plus a late addition:

Handy,
Hefty, and

Astro.

I had never heard of this guy. I just found out about him after reading GuanoLad’s nice link. Boy, does that smurf look :cool: with that astronaut suit, or what?. I wonder, in what episode could he have appeared? My best WAG is the one where one of the smurfs wanted to go to another planet and Handy built him a fake rocket which, thanks to the sound effects and back-and-forth pushing provided by the other smurts, simulated the experience of space flight. To make for the impression that he was indeed on an alien planet, the smurfs altered the scenario in the vicinity of the rocket to mirror a desolated, exogenous-looking place, much like the moon.

In any case, I believe that wasn’t Astro, but Dreamer (soñador in spanish; the guy who used to be day-dreaming about experiencing fascinating adventures). Once again, translations may differ. :rolleyes:

Any one out there can help me find more detailed info regarding this elusive, yet totally cool, Astro Smurf?

How about matching up smurfs with dopers? For example, it is pretty clear that Papa Smurf would be the equivalent of Cecil Adams, the former being the supreme leader of the Smurf Village, and the latter the undisputed intellectual guide of the SDMB’s ignorance fightin’ tribe.

Any other matches you can think of?

I wonder, what could I ask Santa Claus Smurf for Christmas? :smiley:

I rather liked Jokey Smurf. He was better at pulling the same joke than Lucy pulling the football from Charlie Brown.

19

Ed and Brainy Smurf?

Who are you? Gargamel? :slight_smile:
