  • Interesting, I can certainly see the parallels. Might be reaching a little, but I can see why some people might see the show that way. I will certainly never look at the Smurfs the same way.

  • This should be on FOX

  • I came across this while just browsing to see what the gorvernment might be blocking after the whole sopa-pipa thing and---- It's official-- people have no life .. they have to take a cartoon and see into it bogus crap just to have something to do--lol .. Get a job, ride a bike, play poker with buddies--- get a life !!..

  • so the smurfs are the biggest obstacle your country has ever seen? ours is Mickey Mouse

  • The greatest obstacle?.. you're a republican, aren't you? 

  • No wonder "The Smurfs" was cancelled in 1990. People caught on to the meaning of what SMURF stands for, and it was a bad reminder of bad times. After all, the Smurfs date as far back as the 1950s - not too long after World War II.

  • @JonSea31isBack I don't understand, why is communism such a threat?

  • Funny shit man I must watch it again for the good of the state haha

  • i always knew there was a reason i hated smurfs when i was a kid. it wasnt entertaining it felt like propaganda..and sure enough..it was.

  • @JEWSmolestCHILDREN You're not serious, please...

  • Tell me, if "Smurfs" was originally an acronym for "Socialists Under Red Father", what the hell is "Les Schtroumpfs" or "De Smurfen"? And why/how did Peyo make an acronym out of English words and then somehow convince only the French and English versions to use the word while the French version, the version written by Peyo himself since he was a French speaking Belgian, only used "Schtroumphfs"? Some kind of Xanatos gambit?

  • @dechha1981 Well in French it obviously stands for "Socialistes Contre Haine, Tyrannie, Réactionnaires et Oppression Unifié et Monter sous Père et Frère Schtroumpf". I can't think of a Dutch which is said because it's my first language.

  • Yeah, yeah. The Spurfs are Commies, Elves and Dwarfs are monarchists, Orcs are fascists, Gremlins are anarchists, some of the gods are democrats, Hobbits are non-voters, etc.

  • Very funny!

  • The A clockwork orange soundtrack?

  • Real capitalists like MLP

  • @DimensionsofChange

    Brohoof!

  • @douggie7772010 bitch please. I really dont think a 38 years old adult would say that. Im 17 and i know alot about communism and capitalism.

    Oh i wanted to add 1 thing. freedom given by GOD? God didnt give you freedom. People give you freedom. If god gives people freedom, why didnt he kill Hitler before he took power? BECAUSE HE DOESNT EXIST! You're just a brainwashed 10 year old

  • @SovietGamers LET ME SAY THIS THE ONLY GOOD HITLER DID WAS ATTACK THE SOVIET UNION IN 1941 TO STOP THE SPREAD OF YOU POISON WHAT IS COMMUNISM. AND YOU ATHEISTS IF U LOOK AT THE EARTH YOU SEE THAT SOMETHING DID CREATE THE VAST UNIVERSE IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN IT SELF SOME POWER GREATER THEN US MADE THE UNIVERSE AND EV LOTION IS JUST AS BIG OF A LIE AS COMMUNISM! SO DON'T COME TO ME WITH YOUR ANTI GOD GARBAGE U WILL BE BERRIED IN YOUR OWN FILTH FOOL!

  • @douggie7772010 Alright. I dont really wanna argue with you anymore. You seem to have some mental issue or something. Keep believing in your god :).

    Btw, Hitler didnt stop the spread of Communism. He just killed a bunch of people by invading the USSR. umad?

  • @SovietGamers U R A FUCKING LITTLE BITCH YOU FUCKING COMMIE WHY THE FUCK DON'T YOU COME TO MY FUCKING HOUSE AND SAY YOUR SHIT TO MY FACE YOU MOTHER FUCKER I GOT A FUCKING BULLET WITH YOUR FUCKING NAME ALL OVER IT YOU FAG FUCKING PRICK!

  • @douggie7772010 Poor troll.. Btw I 'm not an Americunt. Not that it makes any difference to my point but.. And btw, the communists believe that homosexuality is a disease of the bourgeoise <3. You capitalists caused the advance of homosexuality because capitalists got bored fucking vaginas (they can access every woman with their money) and wanted to try something else, BOYS! So STFU and go play with toys. Americunt.

  • @SovietGamers Don't feed the troll.

  • @douggie7772010 He fought them in the cold way? Are you retarded? Also, CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.

  • Genius.

    

  • Papa smurf = blue santa

  • This is funny lol

  • Actually the smurfes were introduced as 'Schtroumpf' in french. later translated to 'smurfen' in dutch and then to 'smurfes' in english. So what does schtroumpf stand for? :-)

  • @rafboe that stands for little guy, we have a similar word in romanian (shtrumf).

  • 183 WERE CAPITALIST TELETUBBIES..

  • Very good, smurfs are like much like liberals all being led by their black father figure obama.

  • Smoking kills 4.5 million a year worldwide; the product of Capitalism.

  • S.M.U.R.F.: Small Monsters Under Red Father

  • This is hilarious, but given some of the other crap I've seen on YouTube, it wouldn't surprise me if this turned out that someone actually, seriously believed this.

  • @RaminHAL9001 *Cough* Americans *Cough*

  • At least they're happy. Unlike you who dwells on everything bad in their society, which when you think about it, is actually good things in their society.

  • i think your overanylising it

  • @IronWafles Well done for figuring out the joke, genius.

  • Smurfs are belgian,like tintin

  • There is no way you did this in high school. Also, how is this a joke? It is well argued and correct..

  • @NJA1039 They are from Belgium! How's that well argued!?

  • I LOVE this :D

  • You have way too much time on your hands...

  • Just wait until Papa Smurf purges the village of "political dissidents" and builds a wall going through the village the keeps people on the poor, oppressive communism side from crossing over to the prosperous, free, capitalism side.

  • clockwork orange music. nice.

  • I have heard that the creator made Gargamel a cross between Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon! It looks that way for sure! Around the time of Nam, it seemed he wanted to stick it to them! A war the creator of the Smurfs dispised!

  • But the smurfs also embody the fact that communism or socialism can work so well and efficiently BUT only with a small group of people. That is why (in my opinion) we cannot function in our society with communism even though the communist morales are good.

  • The Smurfs may be Communist and there's nothing wrong with it if everyone involved agrees with it.Notice there aren't any Smurfs that oppose the way they live.

    However, in reality, many people don't agree with Communism and when you force them to live it, that is when Communism is bad. A Capitalist society means that everyone lives the way they want; it's the most honest way of life. If you want to live like a Communist, you can. So in reality, the Smurfs could also be considered Capitalist.

  • @jjenson2006 The smurfs, in the sense that they hold a strong sense of responsibility to their community, acting on morality and volunteering, without restricting themselves economically or abide to ethics, reminds me more of communitarianism than communism. In other words, right wing communism. Or a third way economic philosophy of distributism. People distributing the means of production as widely as possible so that more people own private property, rather than binding to a strict commune.

  • @jjenson2006 What? I can't just choose not to live in capitalism.

  • @jjenson2006 you could live in honest way of life.. like honest stealing... killing for money and of course... poisoning the minds of the people to fed their hunger for power... that's honest way of life.. :) if you want evidence that capitlaism lives the way they want? ask the smugglers.. the poachers... the drug lords... the pimps/madams and the people around the streets begging for money.. :)

  • You are incorrect a smurf is a mythical creature that comes from belgum and brings good luck

  • Thanks for helping me with my GCSE project!

  • ☭☭☭

  • Something this video should of touched on...doesn't Gargamel remind you of Richard Nixon? lol

  • DOWN WITH CAPIALISM! :)

  • @TheCIScommander

    More like down with spelling, huh?

  • @slash8915 Damn typos. I spell well, just I never noticed the typo.

  • There are so many things wrong with this video. I mean it would take about an hour to redress all the things just said in these six minutes. Though I did feel I was about to go through the Ludovico treatment, so +1 Internets for you.

  • except the fact that real life communism is not like what is described in the video. In real life, communism resulted in many people in the Soviet Union to be in great poverty. In real life, communism is has an overpowering government, usually the communist government works in self-interest. Adam Smith ftw!

  • LoL :D Intresting :P

  • Smurfs of the world..UNITE!

  • Communist smurfs! What's next Bugs Bunny is a cross dressing bisexual? Oh wait a minute he was.

  • The Smurfs are more more fascist then communist... They have one strong leader who is highly hierarchical and beyond criticism. All the work they do is for the collective, individualism is minimal(they all wear the same uniform). Also their society is extremely masculine, there is only one women, who is subservient and does all the cooking and cleaning...

  • Lets all not forget that this animation show was made for children. Children dont watch series for political information, in fact I even dare to doubt that they are aware of the communistic point of view, if that is even the real underlying subject. I personally always enjoyed watching the smurfs without even being aware of anything but the funny aspects. I saw Gargamel as an evil wizard and the smurfs as one big family. I never noticed that there wasnt any money as a child. Funny Doc Tho.

  • @Flipjuhmaster yeah, but with smurfist vision many of those children can easily identify with communist ideals, ba, even easier to accept them unless further education(or simmilar propaganda from the other ideological camp) prooved otherwise.

  • Lol communism as described in this video sounds actually pretty good :D

  • @Teranex I agree :D

  • @Teranex communism is the best system, BUT it cannot be made. those country where you think they have communism, its socialism and it sucks.

  • lol sweet needed a good lol

  • YOU HAVE A VERY ATTRACTIVE VOICE. VERY! ;D

  • @shakilmujeeb Socialdemocrats steal. Dont believe come to sweden. Ive lost my faith in socialdemocracy.

  • @Chemowski haha! In america, social democrats also try make people forget our constitution. And to quote Obama the socialist, "I think, when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody". Haha! What a fuckin joke.

  • Thank you EvanTopham, this video made my day!

  • Marl Karx.

  • What's the name of the music at 0:52 ??

  • @jerifan2004 cute, isnt it?

  • Blue is the new red

  • Oh my fucking god, I really did not appreciate the insanity that has been growing in America over the past 400 years.

    I couldn't figure out if this was communist or capitalist until they devoted the bloody film the that whore Mcarthy!

  • @socialist123 Erm, the United States is only a bit more than 300 years old, not 400 yet.

  • @mewpsypokes thank you thats very helpful and relevant

  • Communism is one extreme. It ultimately leads to fascism. Capitalism is the other extreme. It also ultimately turns into something close to fascism.

    Socialism (Social democracy) ftw!

  • @shakilmujeeb communism isn't socialism...

  • better red than green

  • Sounds all positive and dandy. But in realistic terms, there is no incentive, and since there is no pheromone response that guides their instinct to work, there would be nobody "taking out the trash", as it were. Notice that many times, there is ridicule for the smurfs different traits as well by the whole as a form of ignorance. This is also something inherent in communism as well. Essentially, it is Utopia vs. a totalitarian gargamel. Gargamel wanted to dominate, not to allow free market.

  • thank you it made me understand

  • Hell ya!

  • MRS. MCDONNELL........ HI!

  • Someone watched the clockwork orange...

  • LOL i just read about a french book that says the smurfs are antisemite nazis. Gargamel has a big nose and looks like a jew, the smurfs are all white and foolow the order of the dad, and they build bridges together and have hierachies.

  • @noprofitmaximierung You're right, they build bridges all the time! Lol. "We gotta rebuild the bridge." They're not white, pal, adjust your screen colors. Don't really have a hierarchy, either, just Papa Smurf being slightly above the rest.

  • Interesting but to be purely communistic they need guys with guns on towers and barbed wire fence otherwise it seems to be an amish/american indian community being kicked around by Uncle same.

  • @faanunu

    No this sound like communism, oh the utopia of it.

    You think of Stalinism, its more like fashism.

  • no no no....the smurfs are a geneticly enhanced version of the Navajo native Americans.

  • Not to take it too seriously........

    Could the same facts be used to show that the Smurfs are christian propaganda. Their ideal society led by a beared guy wearing red and embracing the poor?

    To be more serious I think Evan might be an american and be envious because europe has better cartoons whilst they had the disney corporation.

  • Comment removed

  • wow, the main antagonist is greedy, therefore he represents capitalism...

    i guess every single tv show and movie in the world is communist propaganda.

  • we could all learn a thing or two from the smurfs

  • capitalism sucks as much as socialism good government requires a balance of the 2

  • @wfitz32 Socialism the the compromise between Capitalism and Communism, which, in a democratic form, has proven to be more successful then both.

  • @wfitz32 vladimirl lenin did that.. stalin abolished it.

  • total bullshit you could have easily manipulated all of that to make sense in your paranoid delusion my answer get abilify

  • RISE COMRADES RISE UP AND DEFEAT THE NWO BOURGEOIS BASTARDS!

  • @CapitalBhoy78

    We shall rise! We shall restore the true might of the Motherland and defeat the rich bastards. Capitalist pigs? Well, it is time to slaughter the pigs!

  • A Clockwork Blue

  • communism ftw

  • O kurwa! That is sooo wrong xD.

  • vladinski100 You being sarcastic or are you realy communist?

  • "...Papa Smurf wears all red to show his communist purity..." HAHAHAHAH!! Brilliant! xD

  • LONG LIVE COMMUNISM!

  • @RasenganXSpirit YES,COMRADE!(without thinking of all the crap they done...and the fact that people got tired of em 89' and started protesting...and the comunists just ordered to be shooting and...yeah)

  • @vladinski100 well start thinking of all the crap the usa have done and that pretty much the whole world hates them!

  • but comrade In Soviet Russia We no have Smurfs We have UZBECKS!

  • Comment removed

  • the smurfs where socialists. That has nothing to do with Stalin - who was not a "socialist" by any accurate use of the term - going back through the socialist tradition in the 18th century.

  • @slmrcs Stalin was not a real communist. Trotsky Succeeded lenin. Not stalin. Do your research about communism and forget the bullshit they teach you.

  • @JuliusIsMe Why are you so angry. I wrote nothing about Lenin or trotsky, nor used the word "communist" and dated my use of "socialist" going back way before the Soviet Union.

  • yay smurfs :)

  • Almost all strategic games on the computer are based on communism

  • @boumbh

    Exactly,I think we're obsessed to money nowadays and the smurfs always

    have hidden messages in them.

    They trying to tell us being too wealthy and you'll never happy it's corruptive nature that's why.

    and at peyo's exhibition the smurfs is also tries to tell the falling of human

    society.

    They're living in their almost-utopian world in nature that we humans can only dream of.

  • @EvanTopham

    If this video is only for jokes.

    You're making fun out of something serious and Peyo the creator

    of the smurfs he just found out the name of his character

    during a lunch he said "schtroumpf" cause he can't remember

    the name of salt it's purely coincidence.

    But all of this suspicious i not laugh.

  • do justin beiber next

  • It is not possible to argue that each individual should sacrifice for the whole of society, and yet expect each individual to know what "society's good" consists of, without having a dictator to tell them.

  • This is f`ing STUPID! Ur so stupid! ugh you freakin sicken me!!!!!

  • Well the real name of "smurf" in French, the original is Schtroumpf. Gargamel first intention was to transform the Schtroumpf into Gold following a recipe.

  • @feejo menage a 3?

  • ah, the blue menace

  • @DishrackDarwin

    you must be the troll smurf

  • @Karlox13 Stalinism, leninism, marxism, it's what communism is if you don't want to live like jungle indians in South America. To have industry in a country that's communist, the iron fist of the government has to exist, or nothing happens. People starve. The first colonists here in America established an egalitarian society where property rights were respected to a small degree, but goods were communal and doled out on the basis of need. They all died because of it.

  • I miss the Splash. X_X

  • Comment removed

  • Can't you say something similar about my little pony? no economics, each pony working for the good of the community, everyone is under a main figure, ect?

  • If this is what communism looks like than I like it :)

    But I doubt it...

  • @erasmusso It is what you make it! :D 

  • @erasmusso That is true communism

  • @Tiburone15 But why do people hate communism so much then?

  • @erasmusso Because the Soviet Union and the USA were going at it in the cold war. If the Soviets won it would have been the death of America’s capitalist government. So the Americans produced a lot of Bullshit propaganda to scare people away from communism. The USA won the cold war and its the winner who writes history.

  • @Tiburone15 agree....according to winston churchill... history is written by the victors of war...

    so expect the bias...

    oh btw... welcome to the incoming new world disorder...

    a world that forget all your dreams and freedom and turn it into an eternal nightmare..

  • AN AMERICAN TALE (1987) prodiced by Steven Spielberg is a cartoon that has a propaganda- ANTI COMMUNISM. The rats were not happy living in Russia so they migrated to the USA.

  • @MrPrincebinondo they migrated to the usa with cats... lol

  • Do you happen to like clockwork orange?

  • The funny thing was that I was a kid in China back in early 90's and I recall of the few Western shows that China allowed to be broadcasted on their television channels, Smurfs was one of them

  • Everyone shares everything...even Smurfette. Awesome. I loved the video. Papa Smurf/ Karl Marx bit was funny

  • we all knew everyone was banging smurfette, if that's communism it doesn't seem half bad to me. I would have to give up my car though... hmm I say no to that.

  • Whatever, they seem happy.

  • so would you rather unmeaningful and indirect communism than meaningful and direct capitalism? Corporate and political corruption, conservatives holding the town back, surfs queueing up to collect their social welfare and a recession gripping the town?

  • @mjakes20 Since economics are not there none of these things happen.

  • @eatbeavers Fair enough, but in that case is it fair to say there is communism there?

  • @mjakes20 Yes it sure is, the typical behavior from communist societies are here

  • @eatbeavers Silly Americans, when will you ever learn.

  • @mjakes20 Me?

  • @eatbeavers No the commentator of the video. It's a children's show, I doubt they would subliminally show communism, unless they were disney.

  • this is so true O.O 

  • So it was the Smurfs that shaped my commie beliefs! It wasn't my own research and analysis of capitalism.

  • @carobbins25 Nope, because clearly we communists can't be individuals

  • I Guess Blue is the new Red
