The 12 Least Appropriate Smurf Figurines

Posted by John Farrier in Toy & Video Games on August 31, 2009 at 9:49 pm


Blogger Kevin J. Guhl has a list of twelve Smurf figurines that probably shouldn’t have been marketed to children, including scenes of intoxication, gambling, murderous rage, and wardobe malfunctions. Pictured above is a Smurf soon be drunk off his Smurf, if not Smurfed from alcohol poisoning. All images are courtesy of Smurfs über-site Blue Buddies.

    All my Saturday morning cartoons have been turned into porn. *sigh*

    Belgian cartoons have French influence : alcohool and scantily clad ladies...

    Belgian cartoons have BELGIAN influence :) Americans are really oer sensitive about everything, sheeesh. I grew up with these, and never batted an eyelash or thought they were inappropriate (nor did my parents for that matter!).
    Beer or champagne drinking smurfs? Oh no, cover their eyes! A smurf playing cards with an Ace hidden somewhere? We've never seen that in ANY cartoon, have we? A smurf in a halloween costume? God forbid. The devil smurf is actually a bad conscience smurf, that comes together with the angel - good conscience smurf. A mermaid smurf, again, cover your eyes lest you see her breasts! Oh no, she's already covering them, it's okay :)
    The caged smurf is ridiculously benign! How else would you display a daring rescue by the other smurfs? And the little smurfette bathing, there should be nothing wrong with that. She's supposed to be a little 2 year old. Americans are so prude :) There's nothing wrong with that unless you have a sick mind.

    I've always thought that in the US people are a bit overprotective about alcohol and such. If you think you should shield children from seeing a smurf with a champagne bottle, then it's no wonder there are alcohol abuse problems in the States. By making it taboo, you're making it more interesting than it really is.

    Many of these are male-oriented issues, but what can one expect from a site called "Topless Robot"?

    What a sad bloke. Seeing anything untoward in a naked child, whether Smurf or human, washing themselves isn't suggestive to most people - certainly not Europeans.

    We unexpectedly ended up at the beach last weekend. Being unplanned we didn't have any swimming things, so our seven year old daughter just laughed, stripped off and ran in naked. Some of the kids on the beach were dressed - some weren't. No one seemed to care, which is how it should be.

    Our son, at twelve, preferred to go find a cheap pair of shorts from a beach shop.

    Maybe some people should start to focus on more important things... like poverty, wars, famine and opression taking place all over this planet - instead of ranting about politically incorrect smurfs!

    Poor world...

    AndiB. I have to say I always love it when someone comes to Neatorama and comments that people should be doing more important things...

    Yea. People who comment on waisting time when they themselves are waisting their own time by ranting about people ranting. I guess it is just one vicious cycle.
