The Smurfs were 3 apples tall and lived in mushrooms...

[The_Legend]

Those must have been some pretty #### big mushrooms!
I mean have you ever staked 3 mushrooms on top of eachother?

[The_Legend]

sorry I meant
"have you ever stacked 3 APPLES on top of eachother?"

[JesseJames]

Yes, that is indeed a large mushroom.

The Smurfs are also communist.

My European History teacher spent a good half hour on that a couple years back.

And that gives you a reason to be vice president? HA! His Left Nad is a far better VP then you could ever dream!

Smurfs ####-big time. In fact they #### so much they smurf!

[Spyder-Man]

I would like to hear the communist arguement, that could prove to be very interesting. However, as we all know, the Smurfette is the only Smurf that matters.

Of really small apples. ;)

This is probably the smurfingest thread I've even seen of the 'Realms!

(Does he mean that in a good or bad way? Only a TRUE Smurf knows for sure...)

"ROTFLAMO

the HELL it doesn't!!!

[Prof. Aragorn]

Smurf you; smurf you all the way to smurf and back!!!

[JKLantern]

First of all, all the Smurfs (minus Smurfette, who is a female) are pretty much the same, and live in the same design of houses.

Second, Papa Smurf bares a strong resemblance to either Lenin or Stalin, can't exactly remember which. I think it was Stalin.

Thirdly, the villain, Gargomel, was always trying to use the Smurfs to make gold. That would make him an "Evil capitalist."

Fourthly, do you know what Smurf stands for?

Soviet/Socialist
Men
Under
Red
Father

And one time we came up with an argument for them practicing Islam as well, but that has WAY less proof.

Okay, have to agree on that.
But I am a way better Vice Emperor than his left nad.

Last time I checked neither Lenin nor Stalin were blue and wearing a silly red hood. And Stalin only had a mustache, not a full beard like Papa Smurf.

Don't forget, it's Big Papa Smurf;)

[EmperorNorton]

Actually Lenin and Stalin were exactly three apples high...

[Prof. Aragorn]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure one of them lived in a mushroom and feared getting eaten by a capitalist warlock in medieval times...


...hmmm...interesting...

Yeesh, did none of you people pay attention in history class? Papa Smurf looks like Karl Marx - you know, the guy who started it all? Except, you, know, for the bit about him being blue. And they're not Islamic - they're Hindu. Blue is sort of a default colour for Hindu gods (Vishnu being the most obvious example).

To get back to the communist Smurf theory, though:

Papa wears a red hat.

Brawny (the worker, emblematic of the proletariat and its struggle) is valued by both Papa and Smurfette.

Brainy is marginalized, despite his strict adherence to party doctrine ("Papa Smurf always says"), illustrating a comtempt for intellectuals typical of the early revolution.

Jokey is tolerated, as most of his mischief is directed at Brainy and the effete Poet (illustrating the role of the media in countering party enemies such as intellectuals and the bourgeouisie).

Smurfette, the most precious single resource in the Smurf village (effectively a commune, as the division of labour is perfect) is shared equally, in that she is possessed by none (although she favours both Papa and Brawny, indicating that both the head of the party and the proletariat champion are lucky with the ladies - well, lady).

Gargamel, the enemy of the Smurfs, is a consumer. He seeks power over the village (effectively becoming a landlord - bane of the revolution) and control of their goods. His drives are never fully explained, as they do not need to be - the desire to consume mindlessly is part and parcel of the corrupt capitalist system.

And that's just off the top of my head. Do I need to mention that the creator of the Smurfs was French?

Of course I know him, he's a fellow German!
He didn't have anything to do with what Lenin and Stalin did later, though.

That's not true. He was from Belgium.

[JKLantern]

The thing about Islam was a bit of a joke, because one of the Islamic prayers sounds a lot like a Smurf singing (eg La la lalalala la la la la laaaa...)

Maybe it was Marx. It's been a couple years since I heard the whole thing.

[JKLantern]

And also, the Smurfs seem to do everything for the good of the community. And no one seems to have private property as they all just wander into each others' houses.

[freakazoid_x]

I don't think they were REAL mushrooms. Mainly because I've seen them "build" them before. They're camoflaged. It's so sad to know something like that.

Meh - wrote in French and found most of his popularity (and his theme park) there. Belgium's pretty much a cartographical fiction created to allow France and Germany to fight each other on someone else's land. No offense Belgians - you make a mean waffle.

No, no, no, no... Lenin ate mushrooms, lived with a capitalist warlock, and feared medieval times. Get it straight! sheesh
