Go To

Return to Recap: The Smurfs.


After Bigmouth, a hungry ogre, visits Gargamel's hovel, Gargamel tries to use him to get rid of the Smurfs by offering him some Smurf soup.

Tropes associated with this story include:

  • Big Eater: Bigmouth, as his appetite was very hard for Gargamel to satisfy.
  • Big Word Shout: A Smurf scares off Azrael at the end of the story by shouting "BIGMOUTH!"
  • Eat the Bomb: Bigmouth eats one of Jokey Smurf's surprises, thinking it was food, and it explodes harmlessly in his mouth.
  • Mocking Sing-Song: Gargamel sees that Bigmouth the ogre has turned ugly because he ate the Smurf soup. The Smurfs get a little sing-songy just to taunt Gargamel into having Bigmouth physically abuse him.
    Bigmouth: You're the one who told me to eat Smurf soup!
    Gargamel: But I didn't know it would have that effect!
    Smurfs: ♪♫ Yes, he did know! Yes, he did know! ♪♫
    Bigmouth: Ha ha! I've got you! And now you're going to do that thing...that trick, like Papa Smurf says, that afterwards makes you like before!
    Gargamel: The antidote? But I don't know it!
    Smurfs: ♪♫ Yes, he does know! Yes, he does know! ♪♫
  • Pet the Dog: Gargamel still cares for Azrael, as he dissuades Bigmouth from eating him.
