Papa Smurf
Papa Smurf (Grand Schtroumpf)
Voiced by: Richard Muller [The Smurfs 1961]; Michel Elias [Original French version]; Unknown Voice Actor [United Kingdom English dub]; Mike Reynolds [United States English dub] - The Smurfs and the Magic Flute
Jack Angel - The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol , The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow, The Smurfs 2 Video Game & The Smurfs Dance Party'' (Wii)
Davis Freeman [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
Jean-Loup Horwitz [French dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The leader and father figure of the Smurfs.- Adaptational Badass:
- In the Live-Action films, Papa Smurf is a lot more aggressive when he sees Gargamel trying to capture a Smurf. He even goes as far as to actually yell Gargamel's name when he's attempting to throw a metal sharp staff behind Gargamel when he notices that Gargamel is attempting to capture the entire village during the climax in the first film.
- While not as much as the first film, in the sequel when Papa Smurf sees Smurfette trying out Gargamel's new wand that he gave her for her birthday, Papa Smurf desperately attempts to open the window for Smurfette to see her. The other Smurfs try preventing him from reaching the lock when he yells for Smurfette as she's actually enjoying the new wand.
- And Then John Was a Zombie: Papa Smurf Was A Black/Purple Smurf. This happens to him in "The Purple Smurfs" (and its comic book predecessor "The Black Smurfs"), when he was the last Smurf to be infected.
- Berserk Button: He does not take kindly to anyone calling him "old" (or "Old Beard", as in the case of "The Gambler Smurfs").
- Beware the Nice Ones: He may have the persona of a loving father, but make him mad. Go on, we dare ya.
- Big Good: As the leader of the Smurfs.
- Characterization Marches On: Believe it or not but in his very first appearance in the comic Johan and Peewit: The Flute with Six Smurfs, Papa Smurf is an irritable Jerk with a Heart of Gold who yells at the other smurfs and quickly picks a fight with Peewit when the latter tries to help him.
- Color-Coded Patrician: He wears red, where everybody else wears white.
- Cool Old Guy: A wise elderly figure who is respected by everyone.
- Ephebophile: Papa Smurf's one-time attraction to Smurfette in "Romeo And Smurfette". Averted in the rest of the show and the live-action movie series, where his relationship to Smurfette is genuinely father to daughter.
- Face Palm: Puts his palm to his face a few times in the comic book story "Bathing Smurfs", and at least a few times in the cartoon show.
- A Father to His Men: Or more accurately, A Papa To His Smurfs. In the English vocal track of the live-action movie, Gargamel goes so far as to have Papa Smurf say he has 99 sons and one daughter.
- Gentleman and a Scholar: Despite his general knowledge and skills in making magical spells, he's very easygoing and polite.
- Grumpy Old Man: While Papa Smurf is kind and helpful towards the Smurfs, he is usually short-tempered when the Smurfs misbehave or do not listen to him.
- Heroic BSoD:
- In The Smurfs 2, Papa Smurf temporarily becomes depressed after witnessing Smurfette using Gargamel's birthday gift to her which is her own personal dragon wand. He believes that she's becoming like Gargamel and The Naughties before witnessing Smurfette saving the lives of Hackus and Vexy from death.
- In Smurfs: The Lost Village, after witnessing Smurfette sacrificing herself to Gargamel's power and taking advantage on not being a real smurf. Papa Smurf rushes to Gargamel's spell book (which he usually avoids doing) as he desperately searches for a spell to bring her back to life. Brainy is then seen sadly approaching Papa Smurf to tell him there is nothing he can to restore her back to life.
- Interspecies Romance: He has a brief romance with Flowerbell the woodnymph in the cartoon episode "Papa's Wedding Day" before he realizes it was a setup.
- The Leader: Of the level-headed variety. He's the oldest and most experienced of the Smurfs, and uses his knowledge and wisdom to help them when something goes wrong.
- Legacy Character: In the cartoon show, Grandpa Smurf was his Papa Smurf, so he is simply Grandpa Smurf's successor to the role. It is implied that Baby Smurf may take on that title when he becomes Papa Smurf's age.
- Nice Guy: He's shown to be very kind to his fellow Smurfs.
- Noodle Incident: At one point, the Smurfs meet a character cursed with a Forced Transformation and compelled to speak in complete gibberish. Papa Smurf not only recognizes the affliction, but more or less understands what the cursed character is saying, calling it "the language of the cursed." When asked by his fellow Smurfs how he can understand this "language," he refuses to elaborate.Papa Smurf:"When You're a good wizard, evil wizards are always putting curses on you."
- Not So Above It All:
- Occasionally even Papa Smurf will get himself well caught up in something in over his head, if he's not accidentally the root cause of it, and sometimes outright happens to handily demonstrate that he's not always the perfect leader. He's also got his moments of selfishness, such as in "Now You Smurf Them, Now You Don't" where he wanted the crystal ball because it showed him a dream of being an efficient leader; by the end of the episode after saving everybody from the cave trolls, he's playing bowling with the crystal like the other Smurfs were, much to his embarrassment when they catch him on it.
- Like his little Smurfs (except Clumsy in the 1981 TV series), he is often prone to expressing his anger towards Brainy or tossing him out of the village after being pushed to a boiling point (especially in a few episodes of the ninth season, such as "Cave Smurfs" and "Papa Loses His Patience").
- In "Romeo And Smurfette", he reprimands the other Smurfs for trying to woo Smurfette and tells them to leave her alone. After they all leave, he starts hitting on Smurfette. This is also the only time where he shows any romantic attraction to her.
- Oh, My Gods!: "Nom d'un Schtroumpf!" ("In the name of a Smurf!") in the original French comics; "Great Smurfness" or "Great Smurfs Of Fire" in the cartoon show.
- Only Sane Man: Often placed in this role. When the other Smurfs get out of control, he is the voice of reason.
- Papa Wolf: Don't threathen the Smurfs if you don't want to be on the receiving end of one of Papa Smurf's potions.
- The Patriarch: The patient and benevolent patriarch of the Smurf Village.
- Primary-Color Champion: Red suit, white beard, blue skin.
- Red Is Heroic: He wears a red hat and pants (in contrast to everyone else's white), is a noble, good-natured and level-headed Smurf and natural born leader.
- Really 700 Years Old: As with all Smurfs, he's Older Than He Looks...in his case, he's 542 in the comic books and cartoon show, 546 in the live-action movie.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: The village leader who helps and protects the younger smurfs.
- Silver Fox: Flowerbell tries to win his heart in "Papa's Wedding Day", which implies what she thinks of him.
- Slipping a Mickey: Does this to a few Smurfs in "The Astro Smurf" and A Christmas Carol; has it done to him in "The Smurfs And The Book That Tells Everything".
- Stroke the Beard: Papa Smurf can be found doing this.
- Team Dad: Papa Smurf himself says that the Smurfs are his family and often calls them "my little Smurfs".
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Despite his good intentions and wisdow, Papa Smurf has caused troubles for the Smurfs more than once, either by accident such as in Can't Smurf Progress where the dangerous products from his lab are what causes the waste disposal robot to become sentient and turn against the Smurfs, or due to well-meaning but disastrous decisions often involving his magic such as him allowing Gargamel to follow him to the Smurf village in Smurf Versus Smurf after exchanging their appearances which backfires badly when Gargamel finds the reverse formula and starts capturing the Smurfs after retrieving his appearance and size, or creating the evil Gray Smurfs in the Smurf Menace, with the Gray Smurfs eventually declaring war on the Smurfs and capturing and enslaving them.
Smurfs A to F
Alchemist Smurf (Apprenti Schtroumpf)
Wants very much to be an alchemist/wizard, like Papa Smurf, but lacks skills and experience, causing his experiments to be total failures. Appears only in the comic books; in the cartoon show the role was played by Clumsy Smurf.
- Absent-Minded Professor: Tries to do alchemy, which is sort of like science, but keeps failing.
- Compelling Voice: Attempted and failed in "The Smurfs' Apprentice" when a gag formula he mixed up makes him believe he can compel his fellow Smurfs to do his bidding simply by command. He found that out the hard way when he tried this on Papa Smurf.
- Forced Transformation: The result of his biggest experiment; he turned himself into a strange dragon-like creature and needed help to change back.
- Professor Guinea Pig: To be fair, he tried to test the formula on other Smurfs, but everyone refused. This led to him testing it on himself again.
- Stage Magician: Appears as one in later one-page gags.
Archeologist Smurf (Schtroumpf Archéologue)
A Smurf with a passion for archeology, who likes to do excavations and dig for old treasures. He can be recognized by his Smurf-cap-shaped helmet, and is a good friend of Miner Smurf — probably because they both spend much time digging underground. Appears only in the comic books.
- Adventurer Archaeologist: Averted, for the most part — Indiana Jones, he is not.
Architect Smurf (Schtroumpf Sculpteur)
The village architect, who designs all the buildings in the village. He sometimes gets a little frustrated that the other Smurfs keep preferring the old, classic designs to their houses and are seldom interested in his new and exciting ideas for buildings. Appears only in the cartoon.
Baker Smurf (Schtroumpf Boulanger)/Pastrycook Smurf (Schtroumpf Pâtissier)
A Smurf who bakes bread, cakes and pies, and takes great pleasure in his work. Appears in the comic books and the live-action movie; in the cartoon his role is taken by Greedy Smurf.
Barber Smurf (Schtroumpf Barbier)
Voiced by: (possibly) Don Messick - The Smurfs cartoon show
The village barber and hair stylist. Doesn't see a lot of work because only a few Smurfs actually have hair, but when he does work, he does so with great enthusiasm, chatting and singing to his customers in a vague Italian accent.
- Always Camp: He's an "artist."
Blacksmith Smurf (Schtroumpf Forgeron)
The village blacksmith. He appears only in the comic books.
Brainy Smurf (Schtroumpf à Lunettes)
Voiced by: Nelly Beghin [The Smurfs 1961]; Francis Lax [Original French version]; Unknown Voice Actor [United Kingdom English dub]’ Robert Axelrod [United States English dub] - The Smurfs and the Magic Flute
Danny Goldman, Barry Gordon - The Smurfs cartoon
Topher Malone - Smurfs Racer Video Game
Fred Armisen - The Smurfs movie, The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol , The Smurfs 2, The Smurfs 2 Video Game & The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow
Youssef El Kaoukibi [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
Antoine Schoumsky [French dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The village intellectual and Papa Smurf's laboratory assistant.
- Adaptational Intelligence: In the 1981 cartoon series he does not live up to his name and is a full–fledged Know-Nothing Know-It-All. In the live action films, he's a bit more knowledgeable, if still fairly pretentious... and in the Smurfs: The Lost Village movie he's a full-fledged The Smart Guy. It's worth noting that in the Belgian original it's not even implied that he has intellectual pretentions—he's called most often "The Smurf With Glasses" or "The Moralizing Smurf." Outside of his wearing glasses — which traditionally imply intelligence in many cultures — there's nothing about him to suggest that he or anyone else thinks he's especially smart. He's most often a nag, a kiss-up, or a tattle-tale.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: In the Live-Action films, "The Legend Of Smurfy Hollow," "The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol," Smurfs: The Lost Village, and the 2021 series. Brainy is a lot nicer and more sympathetic than he was in the comics and 1981 cartoon series.
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul:
- The 80's cartoon is the only adaptation where he's best friends with Clumsy. They are not particularly close in the comics, live action films, or the 2021 series.
- In the movies, the other Smurfs do sometimes get annoyed with him, but not to the point where they hit or throw him like in the cartoon.
- Adaptational Villainy: Became King Smurf in the Animated Adaptation of the original story. In the comic, he was King Smurf's opponent in the election to choose the replacement leader during Papa Smurf's absence, though once King Smurf was in place Brainy did his best to kiss-up to him repeatedly. Brainy ultimately joined the rebellion against him (though he got captured pretty early and spent most of the book in jail).
- Ambiguously Bi: Kissed Smurfblossom in "Where's My Smurfway", but has also kissed Lazy Smurf on the lips in the Season 2 episode "Smurf Me No Flowers". Also has a lot of subtext with Clumsy in the 1981 TV series.
- Baby's First Words: His first word was said to have been "gobbledygook".
- Blind Without 'Em: Once the lenses of his glasses were broken beyond repair, he stumbles around and must rely on Clumsy as his eyes. This briefly gives him more empathy for Clumsy as a result.
- Bookworm: When he first got his glasses as a kid, he immediately started reading books. And they weren't books/quotations written by him to boost his own ego, he genuinely liked reading.
- Butt-Monkey: Of the village. He never gets any respect from the other Smurfs (especially in the 1981 cartoon), although half the time he does earn the abuse that he gets, due to being a whiny narcissist who talks too much.
- Catchphrase:
- "As Papa Smurf always says...",
- "I'll tell it to Papa Smurf!"
- In the Italian dub, he has the catchphrase "Che è meglio!" (that means more or less "And that's better!"). He says this at the end of his sentences all the time, to the point of being his Verbal Tic.
- Same with the French dub, which makes him say "N'est-ce pas" (which can be translated as "Isn't it"). This continues in the 2021 cartoon, and is translated into English as "Right?"
- Characterization Marches On: In the first few comics, he just made errands for Papa Smurf (like getting chestnuts) and lectured to other Smurfs. The assistant role and self-aggrandizing didn't come until later.
- Comically Missing the Point: At the end of a few episodes, Brainy tends to learn the wrong lesson instead of the intended lesson.
- Companion Cube: In the 2021 series, Brainy is very attached to his Smurfway. To the point that he starts crying in fear of his Smurfway getting damaged or destroyed.
- The Complainer Is Always Wrong: Even when he's right to warn his fellow Smurfs about something, and it happens sometimes, the other Smurfs never listen to him.
- Dumber Than They Look: Despite Brainy Smurf's English name, the fact that he wears glasses like the stereotypical smart guy, and has a house full of books written by him, he's just a braggart who doesn't know nearly as much as he says he does, and all his books are completely useless. In "Salad Smurfs", he turns into a pea as a reference to the fact that he's a pea-brain. In fact, his original name is "Schtroumpf à lunettes" meaning "Smurf with Glasses", nothing to do with him being actually "brainy", though he considers himself such.
- Everyone Has Standards: In the ending of The Smurfs And The Book That Tells Everything he is stranded on a small sliver of land in the middle of the overflowing river with Baby Smurf and the aforementioned book (using which he had all the other Smurfs at his feet, basically). When he asks the book how to get both to safety, the book tells him to abandon Baby to drown, as the book is more important; after a brief Stunned Silence, an outraged Brainy calls the book a monster, throws it into the river and proceeds to get himself and Baby to safety.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: He is hugely unpopular amongst the other Smurfs, due to being a smug, arrogant and pretentious Know-Nothing Know-It-All, and as a running gag he gets clobbered with a blunt object (in the comics), or booted out of the village at least Once an Episode (in the 1981 TV series). The only Smurfs who actually admires Brainy and enjoys his company is Dopey/Dimwitty (in the comic books/2021 TV series) and Clumsy (in the 1981 TV series), but all the others can't stand him most of the time. This trait of course gets downplayed a bit as his characterization softens through interpretations, though the other Smurfs still show playful disdain whenever his pompous side reemerges.
- Flanderization:
- In the 1981 cartoon series, his incompetence and boasting ego started to increase around Season 3, after he started introducing his series of "Quotations of Brainy Smurf" books. By Season 6, it shows that he is incapable of doing anything right and causes plenty of trouble around the village (such as framing Clumsy for losing Baby Smurf in "The Smurfy Verdict".)
- This was averted in the 2020s TV series, as the ego-tripping books were now non-existent and Brainy is reverted back to being a bookworm (as in the first two seasons of the 1981 TV series).
- Getting the Boot: The typical response he gets whenever a Smurf gets tired of listening to him in the 1980s and 2020s cartoon show is to literally throw him out of the village. In the comic books, he would get whacked in the head with a mallet.
- Goodbye, Cruel World!: Voiced as "goodbye blue world" in The Smurfs when Gutsy kicks him off the windowsill of the Winslows' apartment.
- Good with Numbers: Implied in the movies, when he's always talking about his "calculations".
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Clumsy in the 1980s series, to the point that them temporarily breaking up their friendship in the Season 4 episode "The Smurfiest of Friends" is treated like a breakup of a more romantic kind.
- I Just Want to Be Special: The main reason why Brainy is the way he is ... believing — perhaps honestly and earnestly — he has talents that he actually does not have, and that by getting the other Smurfs to say he is a great orator, leader, decision maker, etc., he will be respected, honored, toasted, etc. This all serves to frustrate the other Smurfs many times, and more than once leaves him alienated ... but in the end, the other Smurfs see Brainy as a good, loyal Smurf and someone who can be counted on in times of need and — often without thinking about it — will do the right thing.
- In Another Man's Shoes: When his glasses get broken, his lenses can't be fixed. He's briefly as clumsy as Clumsy is, and suddenly appreciates Clumsy when he acts as Brainy's eyes.
- Informed Attribute: He considers himself brainy but his actual knowledge is questionable at best and he is almost always wrong.
- In Name Only: His English name at least. His original name translates to "Smurf with Glasses", highlighting the fact he is not actually smarter than the other Smurfs, even though he fancies himself to be.
- Insufferable Genius: The "genius" part is a lot less prominent than the "insufferable" part. Brainy acts like a lecturing, arrogant know-it-all and the other Smurfs find him insufferable. Even his own reflection can't stand him.
- Intelligence Equals Isolation: Subverted because he is shunned not because of his "intelligence" but due to his overblown ego, contrasting with Papa Smurf, who is both intelligent and easy-going.
- I Warned You: Is very fond of giving his fellow Smurfs this whenever they failed in performing certain actions that lead to disaster for the village.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold:
- In the 1980s cartoon series, he's by far the most self-centered and egotistical Smurf, he sucks up to those in positions of power and belittles everyone else, and his self-important attitude is enough to drive anyone crazy... but he does mean well.
- He's more tolerable in the live action movies and 2021 TV series - while he still annoys his fellow Smurfs, it's not to the point of being thrown out of the village or hit with a hammer.
- Know-Nothing Know-It-All: He goes on about being smart, but you can probably count the times he has something knowledgable to say on one hand.
- Little Professor Dialogue: Flashbacks show that he's been speaking with big words since he was a child.
- Mad Libs Catchphrase: In the movies, he'd say, "My calculations indicate ___" or "According to my calculations, ___".
- Meta Guy: Unsurprisingly, this often made him the most unpopular smurf in his village.
- The Millstone: Besides being a nuisance to the others with his endless talking and complaining, he’s often the cause of many problems and troubles in the village. His ideas are usually wrong (not that he would never admit it) and he ends up screwing up the others’ work.
- Motor Mouth: Most notably in "Papa's Big Snooze," but it's a prevalent part of his character in most of his appearances. Part of why the other Smurfs tire so quickly of him is that he just won't stop talking.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: On those rare occasions when he isn't being a Know-Nothing Know-It-All, and actually tries to help his fellow smurfs without Condescending Compassion of any kind, his treatment is actually worse than when he's being an Insufferable Genius. The most notable example is when he chances upon a clearly distraught Smurfette, and offers his hand to help her out, until she touches him and unwittingly turns him into a statue, made entirely of Smurfberry candy. Fortunately, Papa Smurf is able to cure him, and he has no memory of the event.
- Odd Friendship: In the 1981 TV series, his best friend is Clumsy, of all people, mostly because Clumsy is the only Smurf who genuinely likes him.
- Pet the Dog:
- The time he tries educating Wild Smurf and shows genuine care.
- He ends up getting Smurfette's favor from time on time, much to the other Smurfs's puzzlement.
- Pragmatic Hero: Has shades of this compared to other Smurfs, especially in Smurfs: The Lost Village.
- Small Name, Big Ego: He has a library of books, all written by him, all useless. He believes his quotations (compiled in volumes usually titled "Quotations From Brainy Smurf") will get other Smurfs to see him as a great orator and with insightful wisdom, but the quotes are little more than nonsensical ramblings. He thinks of himself as a de facto second-in-command whenever Papa Smurf is gone or needs someone to reinforce his authority, but this authority is often better handled by other Smurfs.
- Spotlight-Stealing Squad: He appears the most behind Smurfette and Papa Smurf. This continues in the 2021 series.
- Stealth Pun Insult: His being turned into a pea in Salad Smurfs. A "pea brain".
- Take That!: Peyo got the inspiration for Brainy Smurf through one of his childhood friends, who liked to show off and to play the wise guy.
- Throw the Book at Them: Does this to Gutsy in The Legend Of Smurfy Hollow.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: In the 1981 TV series, Clumsy's existence is this to him, meaning there's at least another Smurf who genuinely likes and respects him. The few times he gets a happy ending (without the Yank the Dog's Chain) are mostly the episodes that focus on his friendship with Clumsy.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Type 1, with Clumsy in the 1981 TV series. He's often annoyed by Clumsy, but at the end of the day really does care for him.
- Yank the Dog's Chain: Even in the episodes of the 1981 TV series that show that the other Smurfs care about him deep down ("Good Neighbor Smurf", "Smurfette's Sweet Tooth", "The Essence Of Brainy"), he will eventually annoy them once again and will be thrown out of the village before the end of the episode.
Camper Smurf (Schtroumpf Campeur)
A Smurf who likes camping. He appears only in the comic books.
Carpenter Smurf (Schtroumpf Menuisier)
Appearing only in the comic, and only in minor roles in two stories, this Smurf provides wood for constructions (as opposed to Lumberjack Smurf, who provides firewood), and also makes furniture. He doesn't appear in the cartoon, as the "carpentry" part of his job is provided by Handy Smurf and the "wood providing" part by Timber Smurf.
Chef Smurf (Schtroumpf Cuisinier)/Cook Smurf (Schtroumpf Cuistot)
Voiced by: Wolfgang Puck - The Smurfs movie
Unknown Voice Actor - The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol
Vincent Broes [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The village chef. Appears in the comic books, live-action movie and Smurfs: The Lost Village and the 2021 series, while the 1981 TV series adaptation merges this character with Greedy's.
- Accent Adaptation:
- In the live-action Sony Pictures movies, Chef has a French accent.
- In the English dub of the 2021 CGI series, he has an Italian accent.
- The Cameo: He appears as a cameo in The Lost Village, and Greedy follows him.
- Supreme Chef: He really enjoys making exquisite and refined foods, and at one points even kicks Bigmouth for eating his food too fast without giving himself time to enjoy it.
- Team Chef: As the only chef in Smurf Village, at least until Baker is established as a separate Smurf, he becomes this.
Clueless Smurf (Schtroumpf Paumé)
Voiced by: Shaun White (The Smurfs 2)
- Canon Foreigner: Introduced in the second live-action film.
- Captain Ersatz: Possibly one for Dimwitty/Dopey.
- Decomposite Character: Possibly being one for Clumsy, who was inspired by the comic book's Dimwitty/Dopey.
Clumsy Smurf (Schtroumpf Maladroit)
Voiced by: Unknown Voice Actor [Original French version]; Unknown Voice Actor [United Kingdom English dub]; Unknown Voice Actor [United States English dub] - The Smurfs and the Magic Flute
Bill Callaway - The Smurfs cartoon
Ron Sparks - Smurf Racer Video Game
Anton Yelchin - The Smurfs movie, The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol , The Smurfs 2, The Smurfs 2 Video Game & The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow
Tess Bryant [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
A clumsy but kind Smurf with a strange way of looking at the world.
- Adaptational Dumbass: While still a klutz, in the 1981 cartoon show, he is not very bright than he is in the comics, live-action movies and 2021 cartoon show.
- Ascended Extra: In the original comics he was a very minor character, occasionally appearing for brief gags where he gets injuries and causes accidents. The 1980s cartoon series made him a major character, and pretty much every adaptation since has followed suit. He even started getting bigger roles in the comics, being a major or semi-major player in a few stories.
- Canon Foreigner: Originally introduced in the movie adaptation of "The Smurfs And The Magic Flute", then he was adapted as a character inspired by the comic book's Dopey/Dimwitty in the 1981 cartoon, but then started showing up as a separate character from Dopey/Dimwitty in later comics and the 2021 cartoon.
- Catchphrase: "Gosh!" and "Golly!" in the Hanna-Barbara series.
- Cloudcuckoolander: In the comic books and 2021 TV series, he is a Smurf with his head in the clouds who forgets to pay attention where he's tripping according to the pitch bible for the 2021 TV series.
- Composite Character: The 1981 cartoon Clumsy combines traits of Clumsy Smurf from the movie adaptation of "The Smurfs And The Magic Flute" and Dopey/Dimwitty Smurf from the comics, as well as playing the role of Alchemist Smurf in one episode.
- The Ditz: In the 1981 cartoon, he was a dimwitted but amiable Smurf similar to Dopey/Dimwitty.
- Era-Specific Personality: The only thing that stays consistent between the various incarnations is that he's The Klutz, though his Nice Guy nature is almost as prevalent — and other traits vary wildly: The comic and the movie adaptation of Smurfs And The Magic Flute seldom has him as anything but being plain clumsy, while the 1981 cartoon show has him as a Kindhearted Simpleton and The Ditz bordering on Friend to All Living Things, and is far less intelligent. In the live-action movies he is portrayed as a soft-spoken Determinator, in Smurfs: The Lost Village he's a Lovable Coward and a bit of a Cloudcuckoolander with a rather huge case of Open Mouth, Insert Foot syndrome, and in the 2021 TV series he's shown as a Cloudcuckoolander whom admires his surroundings to the point that he forgets to watch where he's tripping.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Brainy in the 1980s series, to the point that them temporarily breaking up their friendship in the Season 4 episode "The Smurfiest of Friends" is treated like a breakup of a more romantic kind.
- Kindhearted Simpleton: In the 1980s series he was kind of dumb in addition to being well-meaning, however, the "simpleton" part about him was toned down in the live-action films to be more of just a klutz. This aspect is not present in the comic books and 2021 TV series.
- The Klutz: It's in his name — he's often breaking things, bumping into others, and falling over.
- The Millstone: As a result of his clumsiness, he tends to cause problems or accidents to the other Smurfs.
- Nice Guy: You couldn't ask for a sweeter-natured Smurf.
- Only Friend: In the 1981 TV series, the large reason for said Odd Friendship, Clumsy's the only one who never gets annoyed with Brainy.
- Simpleton Voice: Clumsy was given a dopey-sounding voice in the 1981 cartoon series to go with his low intelligence. However, this isn't present in the rest of the franchise.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Type 1, with Brainy. In the 1981 TV series, Clumsy was the only Smurf who genuinely admires Brainy and dotes on him, usually to Brainy's annoyance. When his glasses have their lenses broken, though, Clumsy becomes Brainy's eyes, and that once Brainy greatly appreciates Clumsy.
- Wholesome Crossdresser: In Handy's Window-Vision, he happily models a dress for Smurfette, and wears a wig as well.
Coalminer Smurf (Schtroumpf Charbonnier)
The village coal miner. He appears only in the comic books, as his role in the cartoon show is taken over by Miner.
Cobbler Smurf (Schtroumpf Cordonnier)
Voiced by: Hamilton Camp - The Smurfs cartoon show
A Smurf who likes to make shoes, but has very few jobs because Smurfs tend to have their shoes made by Tailor Smurf as an extension of their pants. His only regular customer is Smurfette, who does wear shoes. Appears only in the Animated Adaptation.
- The One Who Wears Shoes: As you can see from the character image, surprisingly averted. Apparently he enjoys making shoes far more than actually wearing them.
Complimentary Smurf
Does not actually appear on-screen in any incarnation, but is mentioned by Brainy in the live-action movie as a Smurf who "always has such nice things to say."- Canon Foreigner: Only mentioned in one of the movies.
- The Ghost: Or at least The Unidentified. He may be one of the random background Smurfs, but who can tell?
- Nice Guy: Apparently, his shtick was saying nice things.
Crazy Smurf (Schtroumpf Zinzin)
Voiced by: John Kassir (The Smurfs movie & The Smurfs 2)
Easily identified by the fact that his hat is on backwards, this Smurf acts as the village siren/alarm when danger approaches.
- Canon Foreigner: He appears in the live-action movie only.
- Squat's in a Name: With a name like that, it seems as though he ought to be a Cloudcuckoolander, but the craziest things he's ever seen doing are making siren noises (on command and for a reason) and wearing his hat backwards.
Dabbler Smurf
Voiced by: (possibly) Frank Welker - The Smurfs cartoon show
A Smurf constantly seeking his true calling in life. He tries his hand at everything, but seldom, if ever, finishes what he starts because by the time he's got going, he'll think of something else he'd rather try.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: He often comes across as very easily distracted.
- Composite Character: In the cartoon, he takes the role of Doctor Smurf.
- The Ditherer: Keeps changing his mind on what his job should be.
- Jack of All Trades: Tries many different jobs.
Dentist Smurf
The village dentist. He appears only in the comic books.
Disabled Smurf (Schtroumpf Eclopé)
A Smurf who is disabled. He appears only in the comic books, while his role in the cartoon show was played in one episode by Hefty.
- Named After the Injury: He's named after his disability.
Doctor Smurf (Schtroumpf Médecin)
A Smurf who fancies himself a doctor, but his superficial knowledge of medicine makes his treatments lackluster at best and harmful at worst. Only featured in the comic; in the cartoon his role was taken by Dabbler.
- Back-Alley Doctor: Though a well-meaning one, who takes great pride in his self-appointed role as the village medic.
- Worst Aid: In-universe example of the trope, as his less-than-perfect idea of first aid often causes some fairly realistic (if still cartoonish) damage to his patients.
Dopey Smurf/Dimwitty Smurf (Schtroumpf Bêta)
Voiced by: Mark Irons [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021-
Antoine Schoumsky [French dub] - The Smurfs 2021
A Smurf with a low-intelligence level. Usually part of a gag where he's asked to go get one item and accidentally gets another. He is often mistaken for Clumsy Smurf by the fandom (probably because certain translations of the comic directly names him as Clumsy Smurf), but in later comics appears as a completely separate character (when Clumsy Smurf was added as a separate character from Dopey into the comics).
- Ascended Extra: In the original comics he was a very minor character, mostly appearing for brief gags where he messed something up. The 2021 cartoon series made him a major character. He even started getting bigger roles in the comics, being a major or semi-major player in a few stories.
- Comically Missing the Point: In the comics, he has a trend for this, most often via bringing an item totally unrelated to what he has been asked to get.
- The Ditz: Lives up to his name, and is very dimwitted and dopey.
- Simpleton Voice: Dopey is given this voice in the 2021 cartoon series.
- Something Else Also Rises: The floppy part of his hat rises when Smurfette kisses him in "The Smurf Garden".
Dreamy Smurf/Astrosmurf (Schtroumpf Rêveur/Cosmoschtroumpf)
Voiced by: Don Messick - The Smurfs cartoon show
The village dreamer and adventurer, who became Astrosmurf in the album of the same name and two cartoon episodes (an Animated Adaptation of such album and a sequel episode), and captain of the S.S. Smurf II in several others.
- Composite Character: Possibly. It's never confirmed that Dreamy Smurf and Astrosmurf are the same character in the comics, but in the cartoon, they definitely are. The 1981 animated series also makes him a composite with Flying Smurf and Traveling Smurf, and at least Flying Smurf is definitely not the same character in the comics.
- Mr. Imagination: His shtick is fantasising about what he wants to do.
Drummer Smurf (Schtroumpf Tambour)
Appears in the comic books and 2021 TV series, and a quick yet silent appearance in The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow.
- Decomposite Character: In "King Smurf" Harmony Smurf gets the job as the drummer who gives announcements to the village. Several comics later, in "The Finance Smurf" they are separate characters. It's hard to guess which of the intermediate appearances are Harmony Smurf or Drummer Smurf.
Editor Smurf
Voiced by: Unknown Voice Actor - The Smurfs (1981) cartoon show
Despite his nickname, he's more a paperboy than an editor, bringing out the Smurf Village newspaper. Appears only in the Animated Adaptation, since this role is taken by Drummer Smurf in "The Reporter Smurf".
- Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the 1981 cartoon shows.
- Squat's in a Name: He's named Editor but isn't one; he's a paperboy instead.
Enamored Smurf (Schtroumpf Amoureux)
A Smurf who is so much in love with the Smurfette that he never thinks of anything else. Appears only in the comic books.
- Love Makes You Dumb: Or in his case, at least too preoccupied with dreaming about your potential girlfriend than to actually, y'know, try to talk to her.
- Loves Me Not: A common practise for him is to do the "loves me/loves me not" thing with flowers.
Equilibrist Smurf (Schtroumpf Equilibriste)
A Smurf who rides around on a unicycle. He appears only in the comic books.
Explorer Smurf (Schtroumpf Explorateur)
A Smurf who likes to do exploring. He appears only in the comic books.
Fakir Smurf (Schtroumpf Fakir)
A snake-charmer Smurf, whose gag is to be able to make noodles and string-like objects rise and dance to the tune of his flute. He appears only in the comic books.
Farmer Smurf (Schtroumpf Paysan)
Voiced by: Unknown Voice Actor [Original French version]; Unknown Voice Actor [United Kingdom English dub]; Unknown Voice Actor [United States English dub] - The Smurfs and the Magic Flute
Alan Young - The Smurfs cartoon show
Davis Freeman [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
Jérémy Prévost [French dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The Smurf responsible for growing the village's vegetables. In later seasons of the 1981 TV series, he gets his own Genie in a Bottle, Gourdy, though he generally prefers working for things rather than wishing for them. In the 1981 cartoon, and the early comics, he dresses in ordinary Smurf clothes, but in later comics, the 2021 TV series, and the live-action movie he wears a straw hat and green overalls, though at one point in the comics, he had worn Smurf pants held by two suspenders
with clogs. Though it’s worth mentioning that in the CGI films, his overalls has the attached footing like Handy’s.
- Nature Lover: His job is to grow vegetables.
- Oh, My Gods!: "Cre vingt schtroumpfs!" ("Twenty sacred smurfs!") in the original French comics.
- The One Who Wears Shoes: In his later comic book appearances, when he also wears the green overalls and straw hat.
- Stock Costume Traits: He's a farmer in a straw hat and overalls.
Finance Smurf (Schtroumpf Financier)
A Smurf who, after learning about money from watching humans, tried to introduce currency among his peers, and for a while worked as their banker, before the system was abandoned. Appears only in the comic books.
- Money Fetish: He was the only Smurf not to want to abandon the money system and for a while preferred living alone with his money rather than with the other Smurfs. In the end, though, he got lonely and changed his mind.
Fireman Smurf
A Smurf firefighter. He appears only in the comic books, as his role in the 1981 cartoon show is taken by Handy Smurf, while his role in the 2021 cartoon show is taken by Clumsy Smurf and Dopey/Dimwitty Smurf.
Fisher Smurf/Angler Smurf (Schtroumpf Pêcheur)
The village fisherman. His job seems to be rather pointless, since he never catches anything, and even if he had Smurfs don't eat fish anyway. The one time he did catch something (a baby octopus) he went through considerable trouble in order to get it back to its mother. He is, however, very knowledgeable about marine life and can easily identify most types of underwater animals.
- Berserk Button: A very mild case, but he really doesn't like it when you ask him if the fish are biting (they aren't).
- Fishing for Sole: He never seems to catch any actual fish... which is just as well, since Smurfs don't seem to eat fish.
Flighty Smurf (Schtroumpf Distrait)
Voiced by: Paul Winchell - The Smurfs cartoon show
The world's most indecisive Smurf, Flighty can't make his mind up about anything.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Has a very short attention span in the comic; not so much in the cartoon.
- Canon Immigrant: First appeared in the cartoon before his appearance in "The Smurfs And The Book That Tells Everything".
- The Ditherer: His shtick is not being able to make up his mind.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Though there is an indecisive Smurf who shows up for a couple of scenes in the comic book version of "The Smurfs and the Magic Egg," who causes a bit of annoyance when he can't decide what to wish for. This Smurf is never actually identified as Flighty Smurf, but it's very likely that it is him.
Flying Smurf/Thief Smurf/Aviator Smurf (Schtroumpf Volant)
Voiced by: Jeannine Cherel - The Smurfs 1961
His biggest dream and passion in life is flying, and he'll do anything in order to achieve this. Appears only in the comic books.
- Flight: The dream he tries to fulfill during his Day In The Limelight is to be able to fly.
- Punny Name: Or rather, nickname — In French, his name is "Schtroumpf Volant". "voler" in French means either "fly" or "steal" — therefore he can be either Flying Smurf or Thief Smurf, because he steals other Smurfs' belongings to help him in his madcap schemes for achieving flight.
- Sticky Fingers: He steals things to try to invent things to fly with.

Kenan Thompson - The Smurfs movie and The Smurfs 2
Unknown Voice Actor - The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow
Ilse La Monaca [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
Mostly a food freak, but also the village chef in the cartoon show.- Big Eater: He loves to eat to the point of being almost Obsessed with Food.
- Character Exaggeration: In the comics, he only cooks sometimes, whereas in the cartoons, he's a professional chef.
- Composite Character: His cartoon version is amalgamated with Chef Smurf and Baker Smurf.
- Growling Gut: Expect to hear his stomach growling when he goes hungry.
- Supreme Chef: In the cartoon, at least; all the Smurfs agree on that point. (So does he, come to think of it; he's the biggest fan of his own food.)
- Team Chef: Again, in the cartoon. The comic Greedy doesn't enjoy cooking anywhere near as much as he enjoys eating (though he also cooks sometimes, like in "The Smurfette").
- Thermal Dissident: One licensed greeting card reveals that summer is one of the many things he hates.
Grouchy Smurf/Grumpy Smurf (Le Schtroumpf Grognon)
Voiced by: Jeannine Cherel [1961 series]; Unknown Voice Actor [Original French version]; Unknown Voice Actor [United Kingdom English dub]; Unknown Voice Actor [United States English dub] - The Smurfs and the Magic Flute
Michael Bell - The Smurfs cartoon show
Lucas E. Player - Smurf Racer Video Game
Jake Johnson - Smurfs: The Lost Village
Joshua Rubin [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The village curmudgeon.- Adaptational Personality Change: In the comics and the cartoon, Grouchy barely speaks except to recite "I hate..." Grouchy in the live-action film and its sequel is very outspoken and opinionated, and can at times be a bit snarky.
- Birthday Hater: In the cartoon show, he simply hates his birthday, and in "The Secret Of Shadow Swamp" he tries to escape celebrating it.
- Butt-Monkey: In various focus episodes, he ends up frequently suffering, particularly in episodes like "Unsmurfable Smile" and "Okey-Dokey!".
- Character Development: Went from Smurf often with Mad Libs Catch Phrase to one allowed to show Hidden Heart of Gold, starting with Baby Smurf.
- Companion Cube: Falls in love with a green M&M plushie in the live-action movie.
- Deadpan Snarker: In the movie series and in A Christmas Carol he's very mouthy and prone to joking about his misfortunes.
- Determinator: One of the many things he hates is giving up.
- Disability Immunity: In the episode where Chlorhydris causes a Hate Plague by turning the Bluebird of Happiness into the Raven of Unhappiness, he manages to resist its curse and save the day, as he's already a grouch.
- The Eeyore: The only Smurf who is always in a bad mood.
- Flanderization:
- In his first appearances in the comics, he was perfectly capable of carrying on a normal conversation, even with his grouchy attitude. Over time, though, his Mad Libs Catch Phrase of "I hate (...)" became more and more prominent in his dialogue, and by the time the cartoon came around, almost all of Grouchy's dialogue was based solely around declaring his hatred for whatever the others were talking about at the time.
- This is undone and inverted for the live-action movie, where he's far more verbal and sarcastic, and only says "I hate..." a couple of times in the entire movie. Same goes for the 2016 feature film, and 2021 animated series. His catchphrase in the 2021 series is "Me, I don't like" and "I do not like" which is an English translation of Grouchy's original French catchphrase "Moi, j'aime pas" from the original French version of the comics and French dubs.
- Foo Fu: Claims to have a blue belt in Smurf Fu in A Christmas Carol.
- The Grinch: In A Christmas Carol he's portrayed as hating Christmas.
- Hates Being Touched: Downplayed — in the cartoon show episode "A Hug For Grouchy", he shows a great aversion to hugs, though that may be due to hating affection rather than being touched. Unfortunately justified in
how the characters show a blatant disrespect for his feelings while trying to get him to share his feelings, and how Papa Smurf even encourages it. - Hidden Depths: He's astonishingly good at magical games, particularly a chess variant. When an insanely powerful imp took his magical game, compelled people to play through threat of force, and captured the entire cast when they lost, Grouchy is the one to ultimately defeat him, freeing everyone and sending the nasty little imp, who is a Spoiled Brat, home where the imp's own parents grounded him for good measure
- Hidden Heart of Gold:
- Grouchy may say he hates everything, but if there's one person he does love, it's Baby Smurf.
- According to one comic,◊ he also loves flowers — but he hates the thought of anyone knowing that he loves flowers.
- In the movie he confesses to the green M&M plushie that he uses his grouchiness to hide his true feelings.
- Hypocritical Humor: In The Smurfs and the Magic Flute during "Just Like Their Names": "I don't act like my name!"
- I Hate Past Me: In A Christmas Carol: "Past me is so annoying".
- Mad Libs Catch Phrase: "I hate (...)"
- Mooning: Prepares to show his butt in The Smurfs 2.
- Papa Wolf: Towards Baby Smurf. It's the most heartwarming thing in the entire cartoon. Most notable in the episode "Grouchy Makes a Splash", in which Grouchy is afraid to swim. But the moment he sees Baby in danger, he immediately dives into the water to rescue him.
- Perpetual Frowner: The only Smurf who rarely smiles.
- Pet the Dog: In the episode where Baby Smurf is introduced, when Grouchy Smurf learns that the stork is coming back to take away Baby Smurf, he decides to take him away in the woods because he doesn't want him to leave. When he eventually returns, he cries and shows more emotion that he has ever done in the series. That scene really was a Tear Jerker, and contains some RL implications. Grouchy loved Baby, maybe more than anyone, but the scenes that followed his running away could remind someone of situations with a too-young parent or slightly older guardian sibling learning that love wasn't enough to care for the child. When a tearful Grouchy comes back, defeated, and says, "I HATE GIVING UP!", that may be Michael Bell's best performance this side of Ezekiel Rage.
- Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: In A Christmas Carol: "I! HATE! HATS!" And before that..."I! HATE! CHRISTMAS!"
- Toilet Humor: Is not above letting out farts while bathing in The Smurfs 2.
- Vocal Evolution: In the Hanna-Barbera cartoon his voice was originally much lower and monotonous as opposed to his having No Indoor Voice later on.
Gullible Smurf
Introduced in a quick gag in Smurfs: The Lost Village. An apparently frequent victim of Jokey Smurf.- Super Gullible: Enough to fall for two of Jokey's gifts in a less than a minute.
Gutsy Smurf (Schtroumpf Téméraire)
Chris Cox - The Smurfs 2 Video Game
A kilt-wearing Smurf with a Scottish accent. Appears only in the live-action movie..
- The Big Guy: Takes this role in the movie when Hefty is Demoted to Extra.
- Brave Scot: He's portrayed as a kilt-wearing Smurf with a Scottish accent.
- Canon Foreigner: He's introduced in the live-action movie.
- Demoted to Extra: In The Smurfs 2.
- Hot-Blooded Sideburns: He has some pretty long sideburns for a Smurf his age.
- Man in a Kilt: He's a Smurf In A Kilt, though he does wear Smurf pants underneath the kilt.
- Vague Age: Made even more vague in his case since most of his fellow Smurfs don't have facial hair.

John Martin - Smurf Racer Video Game
Unknown Voice Actor - ''The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol '
Joshua Rubin [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The village repairman, mechanic and inventor.
- Adaptational Jerkass: Downplayed but in the original cartoon he is a Nice Guy who could be a jerk sometimes. In the 2021 cartoon he is closer to a Jerk with a Heart of Gold where he is still helpful and heroic but displays some jerkish momments such as making a sexist comment towards Smurfette and pulls a Never My Fault when a robot he created endangers Baby Smurf.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Usually friendly to the others, but can be harsh when he is angry.
- Bamboo Technology: He's an expert with this.
- Bungling Inventor: Mostly his inventions work perfectly — but even so, a lot of them tend to lead to disaster because they're either used wrong or Handy has failed to consider all the angles.
- Friendly Rivalry: While he and Hefty are good friends, they occasionally compete over Smurfette.
- Gadgeteer Genius: He's always seen inventing or building something.
- Handy Man: He fits the trope in most of its aspects, except that in the appearance department, aside from his trademark overalls and visored hat, he looks no different from your average Smurf.
- Interspecies Romance: Falls in love with Marina the mermaid.
- Mr. Fixit: Without him, the Smurfs wouldn't know how to fix things the right way.
Harmony Smurf (Schtroumpf Musicien)/Rocker Smurf
Voiced by: Hamilton Camp - The Smurfs cartoon show
The village musician, who is most often seen playing the trumpet but is equally hopeless with all instruments. He is mostly used as Papa Smurf's herald. Was identified as Rocker Smurf in the Random House English version of "The Astro Smurf".
- Dreadful Musician: Harmony Smurf can make any instrument sound painfully out of tune, even a triangle. For the sake of experiment, the other Smurfs once allowed him to direct their orchestra: he made every last one of them play wrong. They even once gave him a music box to hold. He made it play wrong. Farmer Smurf deliberately uses Harmony's bad music playing to bring on the rain in "The Finance Smurf".
- Giftedly Bad: He's the village's "musician". Has a wide collection of instruments, but can't play a single one of them, and tends to blow off the others' complaints as jealousy. He's so bad that it verges on the surnatural, as he can make a music box play awfully bad simply by holding it. It becomes a plot point later in the same story as after accidentally playing a magic instrument that makes everyone fall in a permanent coma, he wakes them up of the supposedly unbreakable spell with his trumpet as he is so bad he could wake the dead.
- High Hopes, Zero Talent: He loves music more than everyone else, but ironically is the worst musician in the village.
- Hollywood Tone-Deaf: His singing is so bad that Farmer Smurf in the comic books used his "talent" to bring on the rain.
- Ironic Name: There's nothing harmonic about him or his music.

Vincent Broes [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
Marc Arnaud [French dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The village athlete and strongman; he's the strongest and fittest of all the Smurfs and is usually called upon to perform the toughest physical tasks.
- Adaptational Wimp: Hardly seen knocking any heads at all in the 1981 series due to the Moral Guardians at the time.
- Always Second Best: In one episode, he gets jealous for being overshadowed by Wild Smurf.
- All Love Is Unrequited: While Smurfette has never reciprocated ANY of her fellow Smurfs' advances in the cartoon, it becomes noticiable with him since Smurfs: The Lost Village movie (more than three decades after the cartoon show) features him as the only smurf with romantic feelings for her and the 2021 even has one episode where her disinterest on him kicks the plot. In short, he has a crush on Smurfette in most (if not all) his incarnations and none of those are successful.
- Ascended Extra: After being Demoted to Extra in the live-action movies, he's back to being a main character in Smurfs: The Lost Village and the 2021 series.
- Badbutt: He's very tough...by Smurf standards.
- Beware the Nice Ones: He is usually friendly, but with his strength he can be threatening when he's angered.
- Big Brother Instinct: in Smurfs: The Lost Village, he sometimes acts this way toward Clumsy.
- Boisterous Bruiser: Of the gentler kind.
- Bruiser with a Soft Center: He may be a jock, but he loves Baby Smurf and would do almost anything to protect the little guy.
- Demoted to Extra:
- He's a major character in both comics and cartoons, but only appears in a few scenes in the live-action movie. Plays the Smurf Of Christmas Future in A Christmas Carol.
- In the 1980s series, Hefty actually became slightly less prominent in Seasons 6-8, getting less focus and not appearing in several episodes. He is also not featured in the lineup of characters in the Season 8 credits.
- Disguised in Drag: Disguised himself as Smurfette to protect her from the unwanted affections of a troll king.
- Friendly Rivalry: While he and Handy are good friends, they occasionally compete and get into fights.
- "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Papa appeals to his better nature when Hefty is under the influence of the Yellow Hate Disease.
- In the Hood: As the Smurf Of Christmas Future in A Christmas Carol.
- Knight in Shining Armor: Sir Hefty is all about his desire to become one.
- Lovable Jock: He's a huge sports fan and still is a very kind person. In particular, in "The Olympic Smurfs", he's the only one to not mock Weakling Smurf for his attempts at sports and is actually very supportive of him due to only him taking Olympics seriously.
- Men Don't Cry: Considers Weepy a sissy for his excessive crying, but ends up crying himself.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: At a first glance he follows this trope, but sometimes he shows some biceps. The rest of his physique is still average Smurf, though. In one of his live-action models, Hefty does have some form of body sculpting.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: For a little Smurf, he sure is strong.
- Would Hit a Girl: Sort of. In the cartoon adaptation of "The Smurfette" Hefty blusters and does the old, “Let me at ‘em!” routine at Smurfette after she confesses she's taking orders from Gargamel. But he averts it and folds immediately when he sees how upset she is.

June Foray - The Smurfs cartoon show
Holly Stanitz - Smurf Racer Video Game
Gabriel Iglesias - Smurfs: The Lost Village
Kaycie Chase [English & French dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The village prankster.
- Asshole Victim: Accidentally became this in "The Kaplowey Scroll" when he made Grouchy angry enough to say the word "kaplowey" which made him disappear. Fortunately, Papa Smurf reversed that.
- Baby's First Words: His first word was "surprise".
- Catchphrase: "I've a gift for you!"
- Cross-Dressing Voice: June Foray in the cartoon show.
- The Hyena: He generally finds everything funny.
- Jerkass: He sometimes pulls pranks at the most inappropriate moments. He just loves to play around with people, no matter how much he irritates them.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: At least when it comes to Baby Smurf, he doesn't play his pranks on him, but instead gives him nice presents.
- Out of Focus: Appears less in Seasons 5-9 of the 1980s cartoon series and has no focus episodes in Season 8 of that series.
- Non-Fatal Explosions: His explosive gifts just leave the victim stained by black soot.
- Playing Sick: Pretends to be sick twice in the Animated Adaptation: once in "Jokey's Funny Bone", and another time in "Calling Doctor Smurf".
- The Prankster: Though he always pulls the same prank on everyone, over and over again (with few exceptions).
- Who's Laughing Now?: Sometimes the joke gets turned back on him, and he doesn't find it all that funny. At least in the live-action movie he is able to laugh off the gift box that exploded on him.
King Smurf (Le Schtroumpfissime)/Pretentious Smurf (Schtroumpf Prétentieux)
During Papa Smurf's absence, the Smurfs voted which of them would temporarily lead them. The chosen one donned a golden costume and made the others call him king, becoming a tyrant until Papa Smurf's return. When not being King, he's known as "Pretentious Smurf." Appears in the comic only, as the role was played by Brainy Smurf in the cartoon show.
- Balcony Speech: He delivers one from the balcony of his newly-finished royal palace, thanking his "loyal" subjects for its completion. However, only one Smurf remains standing to give applause to the speech, saying "Long live King Smurf".
- Drunk with Power: He was a completely normal Smurf until he got into power — then he quickly became a tyrant, began wearing "kingly" clothes, demanded absolute respect and obedience from everyone, got Hefty and other strong Smurfs to act as his bodyguards, threw Smurfs in prison for petty crimes....
- Hypocritical Humor: Played rather darkly when he chuckles and chides Hefty for being angry with Jokey over the usual "exploding surprise" gift box — but when he himself is the victim of a similar gift box a couple of panels later, he completely flips his lid and has Jokey thrown in jail. This turns out to be the last straw for a number of Smurfs, and thus the rebellion and civil war kicks off in earnest.
- Less Embarrassing Term: His costume is not yellow, it is gold. Though to be fair, the suit does sparkle when he first shows it off, so it may simply be factual.
- My God, What Have I Done?: After Papa Smurf returns and lectures everyone for "behaving like humans", King Smurf realises he started everything with tyranny, and abdicates his title to begin cleaning up the village as amendment. Touched by this, the other Smurfs make peace with King Smurf as well, impressing Papa Smurf.
- Too Important to Walk: He's carried with a palanquin in the village, though he averts it during the forest campaign.
- Tyrant Takes the Helm: He gets himself elected to replace the temporarily absent Papa Smurf, then proceeds to declare himself king, hire a Praetorian Guard, and rule by decree. His overt despotism results in civil war.
Lazy Smurf/Sleepy Smurf (Schtroumpf Paresseux)

Unknown Voice Actor - The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow
Sandra Michelle Asratian [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
Magali Rosenzweig [French dub] - The Smurfs 2021
He's usually found lying around somewhere and napping, especially if there's work to be done.- The Cameo: He made some cameo appearances in the live-action film series.
- Flanderization: In the first few comics, his laziness was limited to sleeping at work (be it hiding to sleep or pretending to work by using his tools as a stand to sleep), but later stories changed it to wanting a nap even during fun activities like playing ball or having a party.
- Heavy Sleeper: He sleeps pretty much all the time, even when the others are working.
- Lazy Bum: Both in the comic books and the cartoon show have him wanting to nap rather than work.
- The Slacker: He doesn't really do much of anything in the village, and the times he is called to do something he usually ends up either sleeping on the job or making excuses in order to not have to do it. Could have become a Professional Slacker, but that would take far too much effort.
- Sleepyhead: Of the Cloudcuckoolander variety; for the most part he sees nothing wrong with dozing off at all times.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: The original Smurf who ran away from work to sleep was bitten by the Bzz Fly and after recovering from the Black Smurf disease became Grouchy Smurf in the comic books, so Lazy Smurf began appearing and the gag of a Smurf slacking off work was kept. As a consequence, when "The Black Smurfs" was given an Adaptation Dye-Job for the cartoon show, Lazy Smurf took Grouchy's place as Patient Zero, with a few plot changes in that scene.
Liar Smurf (Schtroumpf Menteur)
The village gossip, who tends to make up most of the gossip he spreads. Appears only in the comic book.
Lucky Smurf (Schtroumpf Chançard)
Appears only in the comic books. After watching humans, he introduces gambling to the village and becomes a compulsive gambler.
- Adapted Out: Only appears in the comics.
- The Gambling Addict: He's a more compulsive gambler than the other Smurfs, going so far to bet when it's impossible to win.
- Ironic Name: He is very unlucky at gambling — though this is partly the fault of his addiction, as he'll make bets that are impossible for him to win just so that others will agree to the bet.
Mariner Smurf (Marinier)/Submariner Smurf (Schtroumpf Sous-marinier)/Marco Smurf (Schtroumpf Marco)
Voiced by: Rob Paulsen - The Smurfs cartoon show
A Smurf who used a submarine at first, but then changed his mind and became a boat-sailing mariner. He goes out to sea to get the Smurfs spices. His nickname was changed to Marco Smurf in the Animated Adaptation.
Miller Smurf (Schtroumpf Meunier)
The village miller, easily recognizable by his striped hat, dark blue shirt, and wooden clogs. Appears only in the comics.
- National Stereotypes: Invoked — he's a miller, so he dresses like the most stereotypical Dutchman you can imagine.
- The One Who Wears Shoes: He and Farmer are the only male Smurfs that wear shoes.
Miner Smurf (Schtroumpf Mineur)
Voiced by: Alan Young - The Smurfs cartoon show
The village spelunker, who spends much of his time mining for useful metals. He was the one who discovered coal, which certainly helped the Smurf village during the cold winters.
- Dug Too Deep: A variant of this happens at one point, when Miner (aided by an unwitting Clumsy) discovers an underground civilization of gnomes who ended up taking the Smurfs as slaves. Luckily the gnomes end up being Good All Along, only taking the Smurfs because they are responsible for keeping the Earth's core hot, have worked themselves to exhaustion and are desperate for a break. A few convenient inventions by Handy solves the problem, and gnomes and Smurfs part in friendship.
- Scotireland: Miner Smurf is spoken of as having either an Irish or a Scottish accent. Not surprising, as he was voiced by the same guy who did Scrooge McDuck.
- Worthless Yellow Rocks: He's struck gold a couple of times, but never saw any use for it.
Smurfs N to Z
Narrator Smurf (Schtroumpf Narrateur)
Appears only in the live-action movie.
- Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the movies.
- Sorry, I Left the BGM On: Mixes his movie intro narration with playing the background music.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Averted in the film series, as he mostly appears wearing a jacket and sweater.
Natural Smurf/Nat Smurfling (Schtroumpf Nature)
Voiced by: Charlie Adler - The Smurfs cartoon show
A Smurf with an affinity for nature, and particularly animals. He's one of three Smurfs who de-ages to Smurfling age, though unlike Snappy and Slouchy he had already made several appearances as an adult Smurf in earlier stories.
- Catchphrase: "Smurfaroo!", which he shares with the other Smurflings. He's also very prone to calling other people "hickory-nut," usually as an insult.
- Fountain of Youth: Father Time's clock de-ages him to a Smurfling.
- The Friends Who Never Hang: Out of all the Smurflings, Nat and Slouchy do not share many interactions with each other. They are also the only two not to share an episode with just the two of them together.
- Friend to All Living Things: His special connection with animals is one of his defining traits.
- Nice Guy: The friendliest of the Smurflings.
- Speaks Fluent Animal: Is shown to be able to communicate with animals on levels that other Smurfs can't.
Nobody Smurf/Somebody Smurf
A Smurf with no distinct character traits whatsoever. Tired of being a "Nobody," he went looking for a character trait that could give him a new name, but discovered that his true talent was being indistinct, after which he changed his name to "Somebody Smurf." Appeared only in the cartoon show.
- Who's on First?: His name causes a few misunderstandings.
Nosey Smurf/Inquisitive Smurf (Schtroumpf Curieux)
Voiced by: Paul Winchell [Imposter], Unknown Voice Actor [real] - The Smurfs cartoon show
Kelly Asbury - Smurfs: The Lost Village
An extremely curious Smurf who wants to know everything about everyone and everything, frequently getting into trouble because he noses around things that are none of his business.
- Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: Papa Smurf even tells the Smurfs that there's nothing wrong with being curious, but that Nosey simply takes his curiosity too far.
- Canon Immigrant: First appeared in the 1981 cartoon show before his appearance in the Smurf comic books.
Nurse Smurf (Schtroumpf Infirmier)
Appears twice in the comic books, and can also be seen (though not called by name) in The Smurfs and the Magic Flute, patching up Clumsy Smurf. It's possible that he's Doctor Smurf's assistant, or even Doctor Smurf himself operating under a different name.
- The Medic: His job is to treat injured Smurfs.
Owner Smurf (Schtroumpf Propriétaire)
A Smurf who gets a special house and gets convinced that everybody is jealous of it, so he becomes very adamant about his private property. Only appears in the comic books.
Painter Smurf/Artist Smurf (Schtroumpf Peintre)
Voiced by:
Jeannine Cherel - The Smurfs 1961
Bill Callaway - The Smurfs cartoon show
A true-blue artist, Painter is constantly seen obsessing over his latest masteurpiesa — usually a painting, but he also works with sculpture and other visual arts. He's usually seen wearing a red jacket and a black tie, with a hat looking vaguely like a beret. In the cartoon series he speaks in an outrageous French accent.
- Always Camp: He's a temperamental artist with a French accent. Of course he's this trope.
- Can't Take Criticism: Particularly from Brainy when it comes to his work. In one episode, Painter can't take that Brainy won't make any criticisms concerning his work when Brainy's essence has been sapped away.
- Composite Character: He is combined with Sculptor Smurf in the cartoon show and the live-action movie.
- Demoted to Extra: Appears less in Season 1 of the 2021 series. Averted in Season 2.
Paleontologist Smurf (Schtroumpf Paléontologue)
A Smurf who is a paleontologist. He appears only in the comic books.
Panicky Smurf (Schtroumpf Panique)
Voiced by: Adam Wylie - The Smurfs 2 & The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow
Paranoid Smurf
Introduced in a quick gag in Smurfs: The Lost Village.
- Properly Paranoid: Insofar as he actually is being watched when he's introduced, by Nosey Smurf appropriately enough.
Party Planner Smurf
Voiced by: Kevin Lee - The Smurfs 2
- Captain Ersatz: Probably one for Reveler Smurf.
Passive-Aggressive Smurf
Voiced by: Jimmy Kimmel - The Smurfs 2
Like Complimentary Smurf, he is mentioned, but not actually seen, in the first live-action movie — though he does appear in the sequel. Apparently, "he's always so nice, but when he leaves, you feel bad." The name is most likely a joke on the naming conventions of Smurfs.
- Canon Foreigner: A movie-only character.
- The Ghost: In the first movie. In the second he appears on-screen.
- Sugary Malice:"I think Brainy is... a really excellent choice." *sarcastic smirk and thumbs-up* "Good luck with that."
Poet Smurf (Schtroumpf Poète)
Voiced by: Unknown Voice Actor [Original French version]; Unknown Voice Actor [United Kingdom English dub]; Unknown Voice Actor [United States English dub] - The Smurfs and the Magic Flute
Frank Welker - The Smurfs cartoon show
Lawrence Sheldon [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
Jérémy Prévost [French dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The village poet; a kindly and sensitive soul who's so fond of poetry that he'll sometimes speak in rhyme even in casual conversation.
- Butt-Monkey: Frequently in the 2021 series episodes "Funny Mommy" (where Jokey makes him turn into Gargamel's mother via potion) and "Fake News" (where ends up going along with Jokey's plan by force)
- Eccentric Artist: Exactly to what big a degree he's this trope varies from incarnation to incarnation, but it's a pretty consistent part of his character. He lives and breathes for his poetry, getting caught up in creating his poems and stories even at times when he really should be focusing on other things.
- Rhymes on a Dime: Especially in the 2021 show, where he speaks exclusively in rhyme — but he's quick to rhyme in all other incarnations too.
Postman Smurf (Schtroumpf Facteur)
Appears only in the comics — first for a brief one-page gag, then in an extended role in the German magazine, where he curiously enough comes with mail from another Smurf village — the only time in any continuity where it's directly stated that there is more than one Smurf village.
- Horse of a Different Color: He rides a snake.◊
Potter Smurf (Schtroumpf Potier)
Appears only in the comic books in minor roles, digging for clay (in other Smurfs' gardens, without asking for permission) in one story and trying to fill in for the absent Baker Smurf (with limited success) in another. His job is to make clay pots, jars, bowls and plates.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Seems to have traces of this, in that he can't begin to see why other Smurfs would have a problem with him digging up their gardens when that's where the best clay is.
Pushover Smurf (Schtroumpf Bonasse)
Voiced by: Unknown Voice Actor - The Smurfs cartoon show
A Smurf who just can't find it in himself to say no to anyone, no matter what they ask him to do. Appears only in the Animated Adaptation.
- Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the cartoon.
- Squat's in a Name: Downplayed — while he is indeed a pushover for most of "The Smurf Who Couldn't Say No", by the end of it, he learns to say no, and yet his name doesn't change.
Reporter Smurf (Schtroumpf Reporter)
Voiced by: Unknown Voice Actor - The Smurfs cartoon show
Unknown Voice Actor - The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow
Reporter, writer and editor of the village newspaper, always after the latest "sensational" news.
- Intrepid Reporter: Bordering on Paparazzi (without the photographing) at times.
- Going for the Big Scoop: He'll sneak into Gargamel's for stories.
- Twisting the Words: Not above doing this in order to make his news more "sensational."
Reveler Smurf/Festive Smurf (Schtroumpf Fèteur)
Voiced by: (possibly) Jacques Marin [Original French version]; Unknown Voice Actor [United Kingdom English dub]; Unknown Voice Actor [United States English dub] - The Smurfs and the Magic Flute
A Smurf who is always eager to have a party, even more than any other Smurf. He briefly appears in two albums, and also appears in the French version of The Smurfs and the Magic Flute Animated Adaptation, though the United States English dub changes him with Actor Smurf (see Timid Smurf, below).
- Catchphrase: "We'll smurf a little party!"
Scaredy Smurf (Schtroumpf Peureux)
Voiced by: Alan Young - The Smurfs cartoon show
Tess Bryant [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
Magali Rosenzweig [French dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The world's most cowardly Smurf; he's afraid of everything. May or may not be the same character as Panicky Smurf from the live-action movie.
- Alliterative Name: Scaredy Smurf.
- Lovable Coward: On one or two occasions more of a Cowardly Lion, but for the most part he's just terrified.
Sculptor Smurf (Schtroumpf Tailleur/Schtroumpf Sculpteur)
Appears only in the comic books, as his role in the Animated Adaptation and the live-action movie series is taken over by Painter.
- Alliterative Name: Sculptor Smurf.
Showoff Smurf (Schtroumpf Frimeur)
A Smurf who likes to show off his possessions. He appears only in the comic books.
Sloppy Smurf/Smelly Smurf (Schtroumpf Sale)/Stinky Smurf (Schtroumpf Puant)

- The Pig-Pen: He keeps trash in his house and wears very messy clothes.
Slouchy Smurf/Slouchy Smurfling (Schtroumpf Molasson)
Voiced by: Noelle North - The Smurfs cartoon show
A laid-back and relaxed Smurf, most likely to be found leaning against something with his hands in his pockets, or just off calmly doing his own thing while the others are running around. Along with Nat and Snappy, he is de-aged in Season 5 and becomes a Smurfling again.
- Alliterative Name: Slouchy Smurf(ling).
- Brilliant, but Lazy: He rarely makes an effort at anything, but he has a lot of good ideas — in his debut episode in the cartoon he invented the paper airplane and the saxophone just by idly messing about, and in his first comic appearance he made Jokey's exploding gift backfire by calmly aiming the explosion at Jokey.
- Cross-Dressing Voice: Voiced by Noelle North.
- Catchphrase: "Smurfaroo!" Shared with the other Smurflings.
- Fountain of Youth: Father Time's clock de-ages him to a Smurfling.
- The Friends Who Never Hang: Out of all the Smurflings, Slouchy and Nat do not share many interactions with each other. They are also the only two not to share an episode with just the two of them together.
- The One Who Wears Shoes: Of the four Smurflings, he's the one that wears sneakers.
- The Stoic: He has traces of this, seldom getting worked up or excited about anything.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Mostly averted as a Smurfling; he's one of the few Smurfs who does wear a shirt.
Smooth Smurf
Voiced by: Shaquille O'Neal - The Smurfs 2
- Alliterative Name: Smooth Smurf.
Snappy Smurf/Snappy Smurfling (Schtroumpf Colérique)
Voiced by: Pat Musick - The Smurfs cartoon show
A rambunctious and energetic Smurf with a big temper, traits which are only exaggerated when he along with Nat and Slouchy is de-aged to Smurfling age in the comic "The Smurflings" and in Season 5 of the 1981 cartoon.
- Alliterative Name: Snappy Smurf(ling).
- Bratty Half-Pint: By far the brattiest of the four Smurflings.
- The Cameo: In the comic book story You Don't Smurf Progress.
- Catchphrase: "Smurfaroo!" Shared with the other Smurflings.
- Cross-Dressing Voice: Voiced by Pat Musick.
- Early-Bird Cameo: There is an angry Smurf who occasionally showed up in supplemental material that was identified under Snappy's French name which was exclusively sold in Belgium markets for the comic book series, depicting him as a Smurf who tended to pick a fight with the other Smurfs before his proper introduction in the comic "The Smurflings" and in Season 5 of the 1981 cartoon.
- Fountain of Youth: Father Time's clock de-ages him to a Smurfling.
- From the Mouths of Babes: His speech balloons include Symbol Swearing, despite being a Smurfling.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: His T-shirt with a storm cloud on it is indicative of his temperamental and impulsive disposition.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He cares for his friends, despite his short temper and overall attitude.
- Symbol Swearing: Half of his speech balloons include grawlixes, to the point that it becomes a trait of the character.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Mostly averted as a Smurfling.
Sneezy Smurf (Schtroumpf Frileux)/Sickly Smurf/Chilly Smurf
Voiced by: Don Messick - The Smurfs cartoon show
Always wears earmuffs and a scarf, and always shivering and sneezing — sometimes because he has a cold and sometimes due to severe allergies.
- Alliterative Name: Sneezy Smurf.
- Character Tics: Is always shivering.
- Plot Allergy: When he's not sick, the reason for his sneeziness is that he has seasonal allergies.
- Sickly Neurotic Geek: The "geek" part is pretty understated, though — he's shivery, prone to colds, and has allergies.
- Thermal Dissident: Implied — he's always shivering and wearing earmuffs and a scarf (though it might be due to a fever on the occasions when he has a cold).
Social Smurf (Schtroumpf Réseau)
Voiced by: Mario Lopez - The Smurfs 2
A Smurf who is a web blogger. He is set to appear in The Smurfs 2.
- Alliterative Name: Social Smurf.
- Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the second movie.
Suspicious Smurf (Schtroumpf Mefiant)
A Smurf who appears in The Legend Of Smurfy Hollow who suspects something wrong when Brainy doesn't appear with the other contestants at the end of the Smurfberry Harvest Contest.
- Alliterative Name: Suspicious Smurf.
Sweepy Smurf (Schtroumpf Ramoneur)
Voiced by: Don Messick - The Smurfs cartoon show
The village chimney-sweeper; a cheerful and happy-go-lucky, if rather dirty and sooty, Smurf.
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: ...but not all that much more accurate.
Table-Eating Smurf
A Smurf who eats tables, or at least tries to. Papa Smurf admits that "we're not too sure about him." Appears only in Smurfs: The Lost Village.
- The Cameo: He's only in one very brief scene, and his appearance is just a joke.
- Extreme Omnivore: Tries to eat tables.
Tailor Smurf (Schtroumpf Tailleur)
Voiced by: Kip King - The Smurfs cartoon show
Charlie Cattrall [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The village tailor. The main reason for the Smurfs' Limited Wardrobe, as he respects "the classic look" too much to ever agree to make any different kinds of clothes. He does allow the Smurflings to make their own set of clothes when his standard style doesn't suit them, but only under protest.
- Adaptational Personality Change: Slightly in the 2021 series in "The Makeover", as in the Hanna-Barbera series in one episode, he threw Vanity out of his store for daring to ask something different than the traditional white clothing. Here the exact opposite happened and is enthusiastic in a new outfit design.
- Always Camp: He sure has an artistic temperament for someone who never wants to do anything remotely different.
Timber Smurf/Lumberjack Smurf (Schtroumpf Bûcheron)
Voiced by: Bernard Erhard - The Smurfs cartoon show
The village lumberjack, who according to the other Smurfs spends more time talking to the trees than cutting them down. Named Lumberjack Smurf in the comics and Timber Smurf in the cartoon.
- Animal Lover: He likes to share his camp with woodland animals.
- Big Eater: But then, "you can't smurf a good day's work on an empty stomach."
- Nature Lover: He's very fond of trees, never cutting one down before its time — and when he does cut it down he salutes and honors it, and makes sure to plant a new sapling in its place. He's also a friend to all woodland creatures, often sharing his camp with them when camping out.
- Nice Guy: Basically, he's Hefty, if Hefty had been more in touch with his own softer side.
Timid Smurf/Actor Smurf (Schtroumpf Timide)
Voiced by: Unknown Voice Actor [Original French version]; Unknown Voice Actor [United Kingdom English dub]; Unknown Voice Actor [United States English dub] - The Smurfs and the Magic Flute
Unknown Voice Actor - The Smurfs cartoon show
Despite his nickname, he's more sad than timid, due to not having a pet, until he meets the dragon Grumpf. The cartoon version of the character eventually becomes Actor Smurf.
- The Eeyore: Was gloomy initially due to having no pets.
- Squat's in a Name: Before his rename, he wasn't timid so much as melancholic.
Tracker Smurf (Schtroumpf Traqueur)
Voiced by: Henry Polic II - The Smurfs cartoon show
An expert woodsman and tracker, with a highly-developed sense of smell. Appears only in the Animated Adaptation.
- Canon Foreigner: Appears only in the cartoon.
- The Nose Knows: A bloodhound has nothing on Tracker; he can (literally) sniff out anyone and anything.
- Scarily Competent Tracker: Not as extreme as other versions of the trope, but he's still extremely good at locating people (and Smurfs).
Traveling Smurf (Schtroumpf pas comme les autres/Schtroumpf Voyageur)
A Smurf who was sad with the life at the Smurf Village and wanted to travel.- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: When the Smurfs get him a boat, he reveals he has panic of the sea.
Tuffy/Toughy Smurf (Schtroumpf Batailleur)
Voiced by: Pat Fraley - The Smurfs cartoon show
He wants to be Hefty Smurf so badly, but doesn't quite have the strength to back it up — not that this stops him from jumping headfirst into danger and challenging everyone he meets to fisticuffs. Appears only in the Animated Adaptation.
- Fearless Fool: He has one solution to any problem, which is to challenge whatever he's up against to a fistfight. It seldom works, and never ends well.
Vanity Smurf (Schtroumpf Coquet)
Voiced by: Alan Oppenheimer - The Smurfs cartoon show
John Oliver - The Smurfs movie, The Smurfs 2 Video Game, The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow and The Smurfs 2
Daniel Sanz Sieteiglesias [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
Jérémy Prévost [French dub] - The Smurfs 2021
The world's most handsome Smurf; at least if you ask him. He's easily identified by the flower he's stuck in his hat and the handheld mirror he usually carries around so that he can look at himself whenever he wants.
- Camp Straight: Well, like the other Smurfs, he's in love with Smurfette, and he wears a flower and is vain.
- Informed Attractiveness: Sees himself as the most handsome Smurf, but without the flower that appeared in his hat from the cartoon series onward, he's identical to all the others, at least to human eyes.
- In Touch with His Feminine Side: He loves flowers (even keeping a pink flower in his hat), mirrors, and is very sensitive about his appearance.
- Narcissist: He spends most of his time admiring himself in a handheld mirror.
- Oh, My Gods!: "Great Smurf in heaven" in The Smurfs 2.
- Vanity Is Feminine: No pun intended, but of course the most narcissistic smurf would be the one whose sexuality is the most often questioned.
Weakling Smurf/Wimpy Smurf(Schtroumpf Chétif)
Voiced by: (possibly) Alan Young - The Smurfs cartoon show
Kaycie Chase (possibly) [English dub] - The Smurfs 2021
Just like the name implies, a weakling. Though he's certainly willing to try his best and wants to do Big Things, his actual abilities are... somewhat lacking.
- Adaptational Name Change: He is named Wimpy in the 2021 series.
- Did Not Get the Girl: Or at least, did not get the kiss from Smurfette at the end of "The Olympic Smurfs".
- Magic Feather: In "The Olympic Smurfs" Papa Smurf gives him a reddish doping jelly to put on his nose, in order to help him compete in the Olympic Games. When he eventually wins, he is about to confess his cheating, but it turns out that the substance was only raspberry jelly, and that Weakling Smurf owes his victory only to his newly-acquired self-confidence. The same Magic Feather element also appears in the cartoon episode "A Little Smurf Confidence", which also features Weakling.
Weather Smurf (Schtroumpf Météo)
The meteorologist for the Smurf newspaper, whose job it is to predict the weather — though his methods of doing so are rather bizarre. Only appears in the comic books, as his function in the cartoon is taken over by Tracker Smurf (who simply smells the weather changing). "Weather Smurf" is probably not his actual name, as his identity seems unknown to the other Smurfs.
- Cloudcuckoolander: He's either this or a hack, basing his weather predictions on whether his pet frog will climb up or down a ladder.
Weepy Smurf (Schtroumpf Pleureur)
Voiced by: Mona Marshall, Unknown Voice Actor - The Smurfs cartoon show
The Smurf who cries and sobs about everything. To Weepy Smurf, life is one huge tragedy no matter what happens — if bad things happen, that's horribly sad, but if good things happen, that's sad too because they won't last.
- The Eeyore: He even sees good things as sad, just because they won't last.
- Prone to Tears: His "thing" is crying at the drop of a hat.
Wooly Smurf
Voiced by: Dick Gautier - The Smurfs cartoon show
The Smurf responsible for shearing sheep to get the wool the Smurfs need to make their clothes with. Appears only in the Animated Adaptation.
- Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the cartoon.
Reflection Smurf/Hundredth Smurf (Le Centième Schtroumpf)
Voiced by: Alan Oppenheimer - The Smurfs cartoon show
In the Smurfs story "The Hundredth Smurf", Vanity Smurf's mirror is struck by lightning, which brings his reflection to life. The reflection speaks backwards and does everything Vanity Smurf does, but in reverse (lifting the right arm when Vanity lifts the left, for instance). After he causes chaos in the village by his opposite nature, the reflection decides to return to the mirror, but he goes through it instead, and comes out a regular Smurf.
- Mirror Self: Vanity Smurf's reflection, brought to life by a bolt of lightning.
