    Welcome to our latest video, where we delve into the weird, wacky and crazy history of the Smurfs! Created by Belgian cartoonist Peyo in 1958, these small, blue creatures have become a beloved part of popular culture.
    But did you know that the Smurfs were originally called "Schtroumpfs" in French, and that they were based on a conversation about how to say "salt" in French? That's just the beginning of the strange and fascinating history of these little creatures.
    From their origins in comic books and their rise to fame in the 1980s animated TV series, to their surprisingly dark past involving a lawsuit and allegations of plagiarism, we explore all the twists and turns of the Smurfs' journey to becoming one of the most recognizable cartoon franchises in the world.
    We'll also dive into the world of Smurf merchandise, from the classic Smurf figurines to the more bizarre products like Smurf-themed condoms and cigarettes.
    So buckle up and get ready to learn everything you never knew about the Smurfs, from their quirky beginnings to their enduring legacy in popular culture. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more weird and wonderful stories!

    My all time favorite cartoon. Grew up watching it as a kid. Now I'm an 18 year old that still watches it

    When I was a little kid watching the cartoon, I thought Gargamel was female because he had the voice, hunched posture and robes of a witch.
    I knew this was weird, because he clearly had Male Pattern Baldness.

    Papa Smurf : Now tell me my little smurfs, what is the rule?
    Smurfs : No kicking.
    Papa Smurf : That's right, No kicking!
    Me : oh yeah why you smurfs always kicked Brainy's butt and tossed him out of the village? Because you want him as a butt monkey? He's just like Meg Griffin and Squidward Tentacles in the nutshell!

    i mean his vision of smurfette does not sound like women, it sounds like a spoiled clubgirl though

    1:16 I don't think that translation is correct..
    "Schtroumpfs" just means "Smurfs" as they were originally called.

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced PEE WEE (as in the American version). I cringed every time you said Peewit (and I know it's written that way). Anyway, have a Smurfy day! :O)

    Smurfs are made from dead bodies of children who died in snow or they're evil spirts.

    💙The Smurfs💙 were seriously Iconic pop culture at the time & 😊 at the heart 🩵 of classic American cartoons!!! Those lil blue characters captured our hearts & had us coming back for more!!! The 1980's, my generation, and what a fabulous one it was!!!! I really enjoyed this video. I like to learn things like this....behind the scenes, coming up with concept of story, & just misc facts. Fun fact....for real!!! I actually just learned a few things I never knew!!!! Lol!!!!
    Funny story.... I will never forget when I was in 9th grade math class. The boy who sat behind me, was your typical class clown. One day before class started and before the teacher got there, he says the most random statement...,.
    He's like....
    🩵🍄💙
    "Did anyone ever realize that Smurfette is the ONLY FEMALE on the Smurfs????" "So then that has to make her the town S**t??!!" They need HER to procreate the Smurfs!!!" The whole class erupts laughing 🤣🤣🤣 hysterically!!!!!
    All of us sat there, & were like, YEAH, SHE IS THE ONLY FEMALE???? Like, what do they do? What about poor Pappa Smurf??.....Ewww!!!?? 😵🤮To which the kid says,.....see what I mean? Damn that ( "304") gets around!!?! We were holding our stomachs laughing so darn hard!!!! Never forget that day. So,.... question...??? Anyone else ever have this "ah-huh" moment???
