But why were they named that, were they named at birth and developed personalities around them or did they have no names until there personalities were defined.
@@2PRO_4U_2NO I imagine it's like with Argonians where they have real names in their native language and then English names based on traits people notice in them for when they talk to outsiders
@@user-tf5lg7fc9s Like your fellow fashies wouldn't imprison and kill you once you were deemed undesirable by the randos whose words they treat as gospel. You're hanging out with the wrong crowd, m8.
I really like how this starts with Papa Smurf actually having a good point and rightfully being worried about his fellow smurfs only for it to escalate to the worst possible scenario.
@@employee962 Indeed. I was talking to someone in the UK several years ago, and he was complaining about refugees arriving to the UK in boats. While I could be sympathetic and understand some of his concerns, he escalated this really badly by saying that if it were up to him, the UK should just launch torpedoes at those boats and sink them before reaching shore. What the actual fuck, how does someone go from "I'm concerned that welcoming too many refugees puts a pressure on the health system (presumably concerned about the well-being of sick people)" to "We should just kill hundreds (potentially thousands) of civillian men, women and children".
Now imagine it takes 15 years, and at every step you get accustomed to the current status quo. Every small step seems to be OK. That's how Nazi did it in Germany with Jews and that's how they are doing it right now with Asians and Caucasians in USA.
I mean if you were trying to eat/turn a bunch of peaceful small people into gold for years, and one day they're having a full on war, you'd be confused as hell too. lol
From the moment he mentioned he was starting to see a trend, I knew it was going left, because it implied that there was some smurfs that cause problems and what would a leader do with problems but to find a solution to that problem. Now think, this is a humourous cartoon parody channel for adults therefore the cartoon's plot would have to go in that very same direction. So think, what sick twisted "solution" could be found to deal with such problematic smurfs? Well, one could say that since they're looking for a solution then perhaps Papa Smurf would perhaps employ what is known as "the final solution."
@@angoankhachai9333 Since no one will appreciate this good joke, let me ruin by explaining. It's funny because 100 is the total number of Smurfs, and 0 is how many will survive after the extensive culling needed to dispose of all the "undesirables". And traditionally, 0 to 100 implies a sudden escalation of in this case the stakes of the conversation Brainy and Papa Smurf had. So by reversing it to 100 to 0, the joke works as a double meaning of the above 2 points.
Didn't notice until now but Handy Smurf building the Smurf concentration camps implies that either Papa Smurf had the necessary force to intimidate him into building them, *_or that Handy agrees with Papa Smurf's plan._*
@@sanjuansanjuan4023 What censorship? What are you talking about? I think you are paranoid man, if you have time to think about this you might not be working hard enough. Glory to the regime!
I always thought of the Smurfs as a eusocial colony of ambulatory fungus bodies. Papa Smurf is the ‘queen’ unit, as indicated by his fully mature body and unique coloring. During his rambles he scatters spores that eventually germinate into new worker Smurfs, which never fully develop and have uniform coloration. Each worker Smurf has a preprogrammed function coded into their spores by Papa Smurf subconsciously. He thinks about what sort of Smurf is needed to strengthen the colony, and in a few days such a Smurf is part of the group. The worker Smurfs are so lacking in free will and individuality outside their roles that they never really notice this and always treat the new Smurf as if he’d always been there. Brainy is an immature ‘queen’ Smurf. He hasn’t fully developed, so he lacks the actual knowledge and planning skills necessary to back up his instinctual desire to lead. He’ll eventually start to grow a beard and turn red, and leave to be the Papa Smurf of his own new colony. A new Brainy will pop out of the ground in about a month and take his predecessor’s place as the know-it-all buffoon of the colony.
@@davidhong1934 Potentially, or they’re meant to act as a sort of ‘deliberately induced controlled chaos’. By acting as constant irritants and interruptions, they keep the actually productive Smurfs from getting too comfortable and complacent. This keeps them sharp and ready for sudden problems, like predation by outside organisms.
@@sahilhossian8212 She’s not. Smurfette is a Smurf-shaped homunculus Gargamel made to infiltrate Smurf society and spread chaos, which failed to happen when she changed loyalties and magic turned her into a blonde (originally she didn’t look much better than Gargamel).
@@Xalerdane ...but how does that affect the social hierarchy and interactions of the Smurf collective? Would Smurfette be considered an invasive species?
I find brainy opposing papa’s smurf’s ideas funny considering there is an entire story where brainy becomes a fucking dictator when papa leaves the town
@@somegenericscpnu-7soldier270 They aren't. A season 1 episode, "King Smurf", had Brainy *literally declare himself king* while Papa was away; there was even a resistance against him!
In his defense when the same people keep doing it over and over again you can’t help but want to lmfao (not talking irl btw don’t misconstrue my words)
@@hmmm3210 Except it's not "bad people" it's people who they label as "not contributing to society". Which can easily be manipulated to be whatever the people in power want.
Fun fact! In 1998, a French journalist accused Peyo, the author of the original Smurfs, of racism and totalitarian utopia depicting, something that his son refuted and denied
Because he was right. Current demographics that Smurfs are dying out in their own countries. Meanwhile the Gargamels don't let any undesirables into their own country..
Gargamel needed the Smurfs for some magic. Eternal youth, hair regrowth, philosophical stone ... I don't recall but he wasn't just doing that to destroy them.
@@yourikhan4425 In the original cartoon it is was either eat them, get 6 of them to be able to make gold, or just outright destroy them ( there was a few episodes where he just wanted them eradicated) .
This is like that moment when the villain is actually making a lot of sense but then at the end he just goes batshit insane and does something unredeemable for no reason just to clarify that he's not the guy you should be rooting for
A classic case of "strawman has a point", because in such circumstances it's not demonstrated how the idea itself falls apart by not being sensible in the first place, but rather gets married off to something people instinctively reject as a form of distraction and thus never truly gets dismantled at all. On the other end of the spectrum you have something like works exploring the "Three Laws of Robotics", where something intuitively sensible and bulletproof gets exposed as inherently flawed.
Papa Smurf kind of has a point. There are a notable number of purely useless Smurfs, and in a world where people's identities are determined by a singular characteristic per individual, that's a problem.
@@cageybee7221 but is it really? Why wouldn’t you want to deal with people who cause nothing but problems? Have the so called “free” nations been any better with the constant destruction they put in the world and the very citizens they supposed protect?
@@navilluscire2567 but the main question was it worth it Did I did the right thing How will the future smurfs see my action I don't know......I don't care
For someone named "Brainy Smurf" he sure doesn't seem to understand how a society that names individuals based solely on a perceived defining trait that the community believes they are WOULDN'T lead to the leaders of said community not wanting to eventually purge those they feel are not usable to said community.
The so -called “mind” is not clear in the sense that people define a community in a space that they believe can guide community leaders. The city was not expected to be usable.
To be fair, many societies that do this, do so in a tongue-in cheek manner. The cognomina by which Roman citizens were generally known were usually bestowed upon them by their friends, which - as you might expect - meant that many of them were rather teasing in tone. "Cicero" means "chickpea" (which Plutarch says was due to an ancestor's warty nose), while "Caesar" translates as "hairy". Even positive-sounding cognomina like Pompey 'the Great' Magnus are often rather tongue-in cheek: it's a reference to Cicero's sarcastic description of him in one of his speeches.
The fact that Brainy knows that Smurf-anon forums exist means that he looked them up, analyzed what they were, and was smart enough to come to the conclusion that it was all Smurfed up stuff.
The fact that instead of letting gargamel have the useless Smurfs, papa Smurf put in the effort to build separate camps out of town with arguably his most useful smurf at risk
He saw the world abd realized what had to be done. The genarations of the future will curse his name and call him a monster, but only throught his sacrefice there's a future.
That existence of Smurfanon implies that there is a Smurfchan and intersmurf which is arguably even more terrifying than papa Smurf attempting Smurf Eugenics
Friendly reminder that a lot of the people arguing for eugenics would very quickly change their toon once they realize that their own genetic bad traits would get them put on The chopping block as well.
That's kinda like how, irl, Heinrich Himmler, the leader of the SS, did not live up to his own standards for racial perfection, which very few were brave enough to talk about when near him.
There was this guy when i was a kid who drew a lot of smurf atrocities and stuff in school, it was hung up all over the hang out places and was wicked as hell. Always loved reading them, unfortunatly the guy died of cancer couple years later, never got to know him but he was awesome. This reminded me of that, thank you. R.i.p
@@KoRnBulleT i mean how the fuck would you prove something like this, are you gonna demand grave numbers and exact locations of where he's buried wtf do you want man
After the downfall of the old Smurf Village, the survivors divided into two opposing factions: the New Smurf Republic, made up of all who stood against Papa Smurf's twisted ideals, and Papa's Legion, a military of all who understood Papa and followed him loyally, even if it meant capturing the so-called undesirables and using them as slaves. Every so often, the Legion would hand off a few undesirable slaves to Gargamel if there were too many being kept in the pens. And if a useful Smurf was born in the slave pens, then they would be separated from their parents and trained as a Legion soldier around the clock. While that happens, the NSR does whatever it can to help stragglers around the forest while also defending their home base in the Hefty Dam. The ages have rolled on for decades now, and the two factions are at a seemingly unending stalemate. But little do they know, a Courier Smurf that was presumed dead in the ghost town of Smurfsprings would change everything for better or worse...
Even though I don’t agree with what he wants to do, Papa Smurf does make a very good point. There are quite a few Smurfs which are nothing but liabilities to the whole village.
Even then, he could have worked around it. "Hmmm, clumsy vanity and greedy smurfs keep fucking up, lets keep sending them to get food we need for winter, no problems there." "Lets waste rescources making camps when we dont even know if we cant survive winter at this rate," etc.
I love how the tone slowly goes darker as the episode goes on, and Brainy is the perfect example of us realizing what Papa Smurf is going at. Also that last touch of Gargomel’s confusion is pitch perfect.
@@lunaticscribbles6016 I mean, we he just saw the collapse of a peaceful smurf nation state into the new Smurfian empire. It's like being some European lord during the French revolution and you see Napoleon crown himself emperor
When he first mentioned berries, I was expecting some joke about getting high. Then, it ended with genocide. He really had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
If you understand enough about WWII to see the similarities between this video and Hitler's rise, then not exactly (if you already know this and this is a joke comment then that makes sense).
Remember the first Smurf story is about them getting rid of the Black Smurf epidemic. It was there all along. (More seriously, there was that time it ended up in Civil War, because they couldn't agree on the proper way to speak Smurf.)
Fun fact: the image of a smoking, flaming Smurf Village under siege is semi-canonical to the show. In Europe there was an officially licensed commercial with The Smurfs by UNICCEF that was meant to highlight the horrors of carpet bombings during the Kosovo/Bosnia war.
@@Mr.Needle-Hamster Yeah, why would you even think of that? You have a budget for advertising/public appeal and come up with displaying atrocities in a cartoon?
It's not just papa Adolf, all totalitarians end up on this way, Staline, Mao, Che Guevara, Pol Pot, in fact now that I am enumerating them in recent times the communist have been way more successful than the fascist armt this game, strange it seems It's easier to kill your own population than people that are outside of it I guess
Highkey he gives me Berdly vibes in this interaction, I love it when the minute things get serious a character just drops the sneer and shows you who they really are. Very good trope.
The Smurfs linking in gargamel’s castle demanded we liberate them, completely ignore the fact, that I put all those Smurfs so I could have a reason to invade a neighboring area
“They first came for the clumsy ones, and I didn’t speak out, because I was not clumsy. Then they came for the paranoid ones, and I didn’t speak out, because I was not paranoid. Then they came for the smart ones, yet I did not speak out, because I wasn’t smart. And then they came for me, and nobody was there to speak out for me.”
*_Meanwhile, in an alternate universe:_* Brainy: "But Papa Smurf, We could just trade the undesirables to Gargamel as a sign of truce or as an invitation for trading. That would make better resources out of them rather than wasting Handy Smurf's resources on the concentration camps" Papa: "See, Brainy. That's why I trusted you. You're truly the brightest of them all. But it needs to seem like an accident. Just tell the others that they went missing on a berry picking trip. Nobody will suspect anything." Brimmler: "Right away, Papa Smurf" Smirfler: "Also, I'm thinking of trimming my mustache a bit. What do you think of the toothbrush style, Brainy?"
*Brainy:* You can't trim your moustache, Papa Smurf *Papa Smurf:* Well, why not? *Brainy:* Well, your facial hair is part of our marketing brand. If you change it, we'll lose our ability to connect with modern audiences.
i mean the thing is they shouldnt let gargamel know where they live considering it puts them wholy at his mercy and good will although i will say it is in gargamels best interest to help there civilisation thrive if they pay him tribute but you know as soon as they can they will nuke/icbm Gargemel to death as soon as they can to prevent this all Gargemel has to do is cultivate there population higher than it can sustain by there own farming methods if half of them live off of some human sized fruits or just a properly cultivated smurfberry plot he has using fertilizer and genetic enginering they can never rebel without mass starvation and anarchy and a complete colapse of there sociaty

Man, I love the how the music becomes darker as the video progresses. From energetic and positive to slow and dark. Such a nice touch to it as always Solid jj.
I like that he's standing there explaining his plans at an insane rating of 7/10, then he sets it on fire for no reason other than to crank that rating up to 15/10
I mean, you could do that. Or you could just NOT EMPLOY those Smurfs for those jobs because they aren’t qualified for them. Whatever floats your boat. XD
The shot with the war going on around the Smurfs right before Gargamel shows up is actually from an anti-war PSA comic book from Belgium, the Smurfs' home country. That is the final panel, with the tagline (that was cropped out) being "Don't let war affect the children."
To be perfectly fair, I don't know how Papa Smurf hasn't done this already. At least to Clumsy Smurf. Could just banish that walking disaster, but that would probably be a warcrime to wherever he ended up.
According to "canon" of the comics, every smurf is equally productive when given tasks. So clumsy is probably working extra hard to make up for his clumsiness.
@@Nickle_King in the comics they just do routine stuff like foraging for stuff they need. His clumsiness isnt big enough that it prevents him from doing anything useful, and in the comics its often used as a plot device. Like having him trip over and fall to some cool/dangerous/interesting thing for the plot.
“I... I just wanted to turn them into gold... or maybe eat them... honestly I’m not sure what my motivation is at times, but this... this is just... messed up, man.”
Imagine Gargamel seeing all of this and being so shocked, that he rescues the smurfs from the camps and then starts plotting a revolution, forming the grumsmurf union
@@footisman2059 gargamel:At one point I hated them hell even despise them but now seeing the horrifying acts their supposed "Father" committed to his own children I realize this world isn't as black and white as I thought and even villain such as myself need to see that.
As someone old enough to have watched the TV series back in the day, Smurfs aren't natural creatures. They were created by a wizard, and new smurfs appear once every blue moon. They don't even have natural females, Smurfette was created whole cloth by Gargamel as part of a scheme to capture a mass of smurfs so he could turn them into gold coins, because apparently that's possible too. Even worse, smurfs turned into gold coins retained their consciousness, ability to speak and feel pain (because people would bite gold coins to check that they were soft enough to be real gold). Smurf lore is super messed up!
@@cptkrank6802 uh, the wizard that created them is dead. The only hope is that they can trade the useless smurfs to gargamel in return , he makes more female smurfs. Benefits both sides. Gargamel gets rich, Smurfs gets a means to propriate , and create more useless smurfs to sacrifice to Gargamel, so he can get richer.
This is more like commie Papa Smurf. His socialist policies has resulted in a workforce that has failed in their duties, and with the coming famine he is forced to take extreme measures.
