-----
During Papa Smurf's absence on a long trip to the mountains to get some more euphorbium, the Smurfs scramble to find who should be leading them. One nameless aspiring Smurf decides to compete against Brainy and makes promises to his fellow Smurfs in order to gain votes. After gaining a landslide victory in an election, he installs himself as the reigning monarch of the village and becomes a tyrant.
!!Tropes associated with this story include
* AlasPoorVillain: King Smurf doesn't die, but when all the blame on the disaster that befallen the village falls on him, he just bows his head in shame and sets out to repair all the damage he did. The others join in and the village starts to recover from the civil war.

* BattleInterruptingShout: Papa Smurf does this upon his return to the Smurf Village.
* BladeOnAStick: Hefty Smurf and the other guards are armed with halberds.
* CivilWar: King Smurf's despotism drives some of the Smurfs into underground dissent and eventually open rebellion.
* DemocracyIsFlawed: When Papa Smurf is away, the Smurfs argue who should be the new leader. In the first round of voting, everyone votes for himself. The second round ends with a Smurf elected (by making empty promises) who installs a monarchy with himself as the king.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Hefty tries to disguise himself as a rebel Smurf by removing the medal he was wearing and hiding his halberd out of sight, only to be jumped on and ambushed by three medal-wearing Smurfs who thought they caught a rebel. Hefty tries to tell them who he is. One of the Smurfs dares him to prove it, and Hefty obliges by giving all three of them a serious beatdown before he walks away upset.
* EdibleAmmunition: King Smurf's forces retaliate against the rebels by hurling tomatoes at them.
* EpicFlail: When the rebels led an assault against King Smurf, one Smurf was carrying a flail, although the metal ball had no spikes. No one was seen getting hit by it.
* GettingTheBoot: Brainy when he tries to reason with King Smurf after Jokey becomes his prisoner.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: King Smurf wastes no time showing his "superiority" as the chosen leader of the village by wearing a gold-colored suit, later adorned with royal regalia.
* TheGoldenRule: Quoted by Brainy near the end of the story when he and his fellow Smurfs decide to help King Smurf clean and fix up the village.
* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: King Smurf's outfit is made of gold, which the other Smurfs can only see as being ''yellow''.
* GraffitiOfTheResistance: The rebel Smurfs paint graffiti all over Smurf houses that defame and denounce King Smurf, which irritates him to no end. It even goes so far as someone somehow putting a "[[KickMePrank Down with King Smurf]]" note on the back of his cape.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: While no human characters actually appear, Papa Smurf is able to shame ''all'' of them by telling them they're acting like human beings. The moral was pretty clear.
* HypocriticalHumor: King Smurf admonishes his captain of the guard, Hefty Smurf, for failing to have a sense of humor when dealing with Jokey Smurf playing one of his usual "surprise" jokes on him.

* LadderTipping: The rebel Smurfs attempt to break through King Smurf's defenses by climbing up a ladder, but King Smurf's forces douse the ladder with glue, causing the rebels to get their hands and feet stuck on the ladder long enough to get tipped over.
* LandslideElection: The nameless Smurf who becomes King Smurf wins the election by an overwhelming majority, with his opponent Brainy Smurf only getting two votes (one of them from ''himself'') to prove how unpopular he was with his constant nagging and moralizing.
* LessEmbarrassingTerm: King Smurf's outfit isn't ''yellow'', but ''gold''. However, his outfit does sparkle when he first shows it off, so it may simply be factual.
* PrecisionFStrike: Parodied in the original English version of the story, where one Smurf tells Brainy Smurf to "go to smurf" with his orders.
