But I've been thinking about it, and I think it's kind of cool. Actually, I kind of agree with it. It's like about Krishna. You know, like Smurfs are blue. And he's saying that Smurfs are, like, getting kids used to seeing blue people. And it's like, you know, with Smurfs being blue ... kids see blue people, they, like, relate to Smurfs. And they relate to blue people when Krishna comes about, you know. And, I don't know, I kind of agree with that.posted by Astro Zombie at 7:36 PM on January 14, 2008 [1 favorite]Christ, I wasn't allowed to watch the smurfs when I was growing up.

Clearly, Cyrano is psychic and foresaw my post. But, yeah, I wondered the same thing.posted by amyms at 8:40 PM on January 14, 2008Possibly the most unnecessary tips/hints for a videogame ever.posted by mazola at 8:47 PM on January 14, 2008I would like to humbly submit one Jason Webley's inspired millenarian crowd-participation cover of the theme song, performed live just over a month after 9/11.

Truer phonemes never writ nor sung.posted by mwhybark at 8:55 PM on January 14, 2008No post about Smurfs is complete without mention of the maybe-even-pre-usenet tale of Smurf sex.I saw this in the late 80s in college... to this day I still easily recall the phrase "for hers is the indefatigable furburger" in its horrible, wonderful, thesaurus-raping glory.posted by ROU_Xenophobe at 8:59 PM on January 14, 2008Astro Zombie, I have known the originator of the Krishna Smurf Theorem since we were about 13. He currently resides in the Bay Area, and the KST is only one among his several works of genius. He is the person who delivers the speech you've so cannily referenced.posted by mwhybark at 9:00 PM on January 14, 2008Hm, on examination of the quote, maybe he didn't come up with it. I have a recollection of hearing it from him on a visit home before the film came out, but of course, who knows when that was shot - he lived in Austin from around '87 to '89 or so. He moved to the Bay Area just in time for the Northridge quake.posted by mwhybark at 9:03 PM on January 14, 2008*begins screaming, stabbing and stomping at all the small bitey things*posted by loquacious at 9:21 PM on January 14, 2008Stinkin' Commies!posted by P.o.B. at 9:32 PM on January 14, 2008Papa Smurf Lives!posted by cmgonzalez at 9:37 PM on January 14, 2008Also, new female smurfs? "There have been dramatic changes in socio-cultural values in the past 20 to 25 years," Hendrik Coysman, head of Smurf rights holder IMPS told a news conference on Monday. "One of these is girl empowerment." "So, there will be a greater female presence in the Smurf village and this will, of course, be a basis for new stories and this will probably turn upside down certain traditional situations within the village." Smurfette is now no longer the town whore. Rejoice!posted by cmgonzalez at 9:40 PM on January 14, 2008God I hate the smurfs. (Not to smurf all over your post or anything, I'm just sayin'.)posted by CitrusFreak12 at 10:27 PM on January 14, 2008Too bad Anna Nicole Smurf didn't live long enough to see this glorious day.posted by miss lynnster at 11:06 PM on January 14, 2008First saw the Smurfs early 80s when figurines were being given away by BP petrol stations. I had always thought they were an early 80s creation of BP! Definitely didn't know until now that they had such a pedigree. I remember regularly watching the Smurfs cartoon and finding it enjoyable. Waaay too enjoyable for my age. I could never figure out why. And now very recently, I'm working with a Chinese girl who's only been living here a few years and she's humming this damn earworm of a song. Finally I ask her, and it turns out to be the theme from the Smurfs cartoon. Go Smurfs!posted by uncanny hengeman at 12:01 AM on January 15, 2008WHAT. THE. SMURF. GARGAMEL.posted by Mikey-San at 12:16 AM on January 15, 2008Smurfed as fantastic.posted by grouse at 2:16 AM on January 15, 2008Does anyone else remember an "angry Smurf," who happens to be the only black Smurf you've ever seen?Les_Schtroumpfs_noirs. It was a communicable disease transmitted by an insectoid vector, not a racial thing.So, there will be a greater female presence in the Smurf village Aside from Smurfette, there was already Sassette (who was created to be a sister for the Smurflings, three aged reversed Smurfs), Nanny smurf, and Baby smurf whose gender was never revealed.posted by Sparx at 3:23 AM on January 15, 2008Isn't it ironic that there was only one female yet the guys never minded their blue balls? Ok I was going for something there.posted by dasheekeejones at 3:59 AM on January 15, 2008First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have... reproductive organs under those little, white pants. It's just so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. You know, what's the point of living... if you don't have a dick?posted by pxe2000 at 4:12 AM on January 15, 2008pxe2000? What the hell kind of name is that? It's like some sort of superhero or something.posted by Phanx at 5:06 AM on January 15, 2008On sait, en passant, que 'le smurf' est une danse en France?

One part alcohol, one part Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time.

In the style of this chap, but a poorer effort. I score you 3 out of 10.posted by uncanny hengeman at 3:30 PM on January 15, 2008I used to play that Colecovision game all day long. It never got any harder, or varied in any way really. I think I just kept playing it in the hopes that something, anything, would change. Kinda like Facebook addiction I guess...posted by Hal Mumkin at 5:00 PM on January 15, 2008I had that game on the Commodore 64. I'm sure it was some kind of deranged bootleg port, because 1) the controls were completely impossible and bizarrely quantized, such that one push forward moved you 10 little mincing smurf-steps, and 2) the background music was not Beethoven's Pastoral but rather a SID of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. I still played it. It was less frustrating than BC's Quest for Tires.posted by darksasami at 2:17 AM on January 16, 2008« Older Michigan Democrats for Romney... | The WGA strike has entered its...
