The Smurfs is...
Robert W. Sullivan IVGUEST
I delve into this with more of the TV comic book theme.
Robert W. Sullivan IVGUEST
It's something I talk about.
Robert W. Sullivan IVGUEST
It's actually something I talk about in the very beginning of Cinema Symbolism.
Robert W. Sullivan IVGUEST
And the whole idea was why I introduced the Smurfs is, for starters, you will find this material in children's shows as well.
Sarah CHOST
I'm like, actually, there's a lot harsher words for pretty than nimcom poop.
Holly BorquezHOST
I remember the first time I ever heard the word nincompoop was on the Smurfs.
Holly BorquezHOST
And the villain called his little naughty sidekick a nincompoop.
Holly BorquezHOST
And, like, I thought that was so hilarious.
Sarah CHOST
And I'm like, wow, was this like one of those hidden adult humors in a Smurf episode that even parents can enjoy? It goes over the kids' heads.
Sarah CHOST
Yeah.
Holly BorquezHOST
Like I was barely allowed to watch Smurfs because there was actually like a lot of witchcraft on that.
Holly BorquezHOST
Like the guy would go in there and like do stuff in his like little, you know, cave or whatever.
Michael WilsonGUEST
I was like, that's that one mushroom that they put in Mario and Alice in Wonderland.
April PunsalanHOST
And the Smurfs.
Michael WilsonGUEST
The Smurfs.
Michael WilsonGUEST

It's through folklore and everything, right? And you see these toadstool motifs everywhere.

LindaHOST
Okay, so we are with, so they're talking, Andy's talking to Nigel as he's getting ready for his backyard party.
LindaHOST
But anyway, so we, yeah, we learned that Asriel is her name.
LindaHOST
She's the sidekick of the evil Gargamel.
Dan DennisHOST

Joe DeCamaraHOST

Jon RitchieHOST
The Smurfs and Gargamel.
Joe DeCamaraHOST
Wow.
Joe DeCamaraHOST
Hadn't thought of them in a while.
EvoHOST

EvoHOST
BTY8307, anything kiss? Joe says muscle men things.
JonHOST
But Gary Jules took a song with Mad World that honestly, the Tears for Fears version of it, kind of blows and he and he like made this beautiful song that like is perfect for this film and made this film and kind of blew up I actually think the writer of the original version agrees because I found a video of Kurt Smith who is from Tears for Fears doing an acoustic version on YouTube with his daughter and he plays the Gary Jules version so it's like the writer of the song thinks that the cover is better than his version That's funny.
MattHOST
I don't think you can have a conversation about Donnie Darko without talking about Smurfs.
MattHOST
That conversation was freaking hilarious.
MattHOST
It's so funny.
MattHOST
That's it.
JonHOST
Okay, I don't know if you had something to say about
speaker_3HOST
the Smurfs.
speaker_3HOST
No, I just love how in detail they go about Like, where did
Jodi HamiltonHOST
Get ahead.
Sean Smith PierceHOST
We, of course, are talking about the Smurfs because of today's drink of the day.
Sean Smith PierceHOST
Today's drink.
Sean Smith PierceHOST
Jodi, what is the drink of the day and what is the inspiration for
Sean Smith PierceHOST
completely different thing.
Jodi HamiltonHOST
Exactly.
Jodi HamiltonHOST
It's inspired by the debut of the Smurfs, who first appeared today in 1958 in a Belgian comics magazine, which I had no idea they were that old.
Sean Smith PierceHOST
I knew they went back to like the 60s and 70s.
Simple JoeHOST
That was quite an announcement.
Simple JoeHOST
And in 1958, the Smurfs.
Simple JoeHOST
Now think about this.
Simple JoeHOST
This is an odd one.
Simple JoeHOST
In 1958, the Smurfs made their first appearance in the Belgian comic magazine Spirou.
Simple JoeHOST
Cartoonist Peyo introduced the little blue characters in an adventure featuring Johan and Piwet, long before they became international television stars.
Simple JoeHOST
I think about the Smurfs, and I think, like, late 80s? but they made their first appearance in 1958.
Simple JoeHOST
When did the Smurfs come out popular in the United States? I guess I could look that up, but I'm not going to.
