* SeriesContinuityError: the story ''The Finance Smurf'' introduces the money system and the Smurfs are revealed as not knowing what money is at all. This contradicts earlier stories, such as ''The Egg and the Smurfs'' where a Smurf makes a wish to become "rich" - and ends with jewels and money as a result - and in ''Smurf Stories'' where Handy Smurf creates a machine that can turn hazelnuts into gold coins and Handy Smurf tells Papa Smurf he'll use the coins to buy more hazelnuts.

* HeWentThatWay: Hefty Smurf chases after Clumsy in the comic book story "Salad Smurfs" after he has turned into a potato, which was thought to be a contagious disease (Smurfs turning into vegetables), but later turns out to be the result of eating MutagenicFood. He passes by Greedy in his pursuit and asks if he has seen Clumsy. He says he hasn't, but that he has seen a large potato. Greedy then points in the direction where he has seen the potato, and Hefty sees Clumsy trying to hide himself within the village well.

* BedsheetLadder: In the comic book story "The Smurf Threat", Papa Smurf, Hefty, and Jokey escape their imprisonment inside the Grey Smurf prison camp by making a ladder using torn pieces of Smurf pants.

* ThatCloudLooksLike: In a one-page gag, the characters look at the various cloud formations in the sky and are able to recognize what each of them resemble...except for the last, which takes on the form of continental Europe.

* WhyDidntYouJustSaySo: Even the ever-respectable Papa Smurf does this in ''A Child among the Smurf''.

** During the Smurflings origin story, three Smurfs are sent to Father Time's home to get a new sand clock for Papa Smurf. The place is full with all kinds of clocks, and there's a lot of coins scattered in the floor, because "Time is money". The Smurfs recognize them as money and even can tell their worth.

* KickMePrank: King Smurf in the comic book story of the same name gets "Down with King Smurf" placed on the back of his robe after he sees the graffiti marking up Smurf houses saying the same thing.

* Fainting: Papa Smurf collapses in a faint in the comic book story "The Smurfs And The Book That Tells Everything" when he gets so frustrated with his little Smurfs being so dependent on the titular book that he stamps his feet in anger.

* {{Arrowgram}}: The Grey Smurfs sent arrowgrams to the Smurfs prior to attacking them, hoping that they would surrender, in the comic book story "The Smurf Threat".

* ThisMeansWar: In the comic book story "The Smurf Threat", the Grey Smurfs send an {{Arrowgram}} to the Smurfs, warning them to surrender Hefty or else. Papa Smurf refuses to turn over Hefty to the Grey Smurfs, and the next {{Arrowgram}} reads something to the effect of "this means war" -- with the next thing the Smurfs see is the Grey Smurfs surrounding the village.
