1. The Smurfs, "The Purple Smurfs" (1981, TV Show)

A fly bites one of the Smurfs on his tail, turning his skin purple and causing him to bounce around mindlessly and angrily, yell "G'nap!" and bite other Smurfs on the tail, spreading the virus. Clearly an homage to Night of the Living Dead, this episode, which couldn't be more than eight minutes long, has more action and plot twists than most full-length horror movies. And then there's the ending: Papa Smurf, last of the non-infected Smurfs, is barricaded inside his lab, trying to mix one last batch of the magic powder that can reverse the virus. But the Purple Smurfs break in and bite Papa Smurf on the tail, turning him into a Purple Smurf. Fortunately, he proceeds to smash the lab, which causes a fire, which in turn makes the magic powder explode over the village and reverse the process. But the damage to fragile 9 year old minds has been done, because for a brief moment, the Smurfs are extinct, completely wiped out, replaced by, for all intents and purposes, zombies. That they are restored to normal by pure chance makes the inevitable happy ending seem less reassuring and more like a brief glimpse into a random, unknowable universe. Changed my life, it did.

 I'm sorry to hear that man...Artists should never take out there frustration on there little creations...meant for kids!

Maybe some guys just Snap...er simply need some excitement to appreciate there own work that they slave for.

Not many people would seriously review these cartoons, 20 years ago. There all like "Hey it's for Kids"...pass

As a result...we all know what a mess (The Mermaid) went threw.

These days it doesn't really matter since society got tampered with in the past. This is all proliferated and encouraged like the definition of torture in politics still going on. Go Figure...

I think this topic holds water, I can relate from my own experience.

I always liked the Smurfs as a little kid, and always remembered that episode in particular.. Though, having only seen it one time, around 5-6 years old, in my memory the Smurfs turned Green, not Purple.. And they said "Snarf!!", not "Gnap!!".. So, that goes to show how memories can sometimes play tricks on us..

I still remember the "crunch" sound it would make when their little stubby tails got bitten.. Like somebody biting into a celery stick or something..

It took me a really long time to find information on the web about the purple smurfs too.. I think it's a conspiracy and a coverup that goes strait to Papa Smurf himself. 

Nothing like an homage to 'Night of the Living Smurfs'...

i despised the smurfs, my sister and i used to come to blows over that silly show, i wanted to watch pirates of darkstar, or some sort...but i'd probably have enjoyed the purple smurfs..they seem less, annoying.

poor gargamel, i can understand why he wanted to destroy each one of those blue devils.

I think it's about time The Smurfs made a comeback, but I'd try to incorporate a little more "futuristic/Sci-Fi" into the mix, and I'd make them a little taller and skinnier.. With more distinguishing facial features.. Instead of 3 apples high, I'd make them 3, 4 and 5 apples high and the setting would be some strange, otherwordly garden of Eden. You can't tell if it's supposed to be the past, or the future, or another planet entirely....

And the Purple Smurfs would definitely make an appearance..!
