Line 34:
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The leaf blower.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Parodied.
{{quote| '''Patrick:''' Smurf! Smurfity smurf smurf smurf!<br />
''(the Smurfs gasp)''<br />
'''Gutsy:''' There's no need for that language! }}
* [[Commander Contrarian]]: Zig-zagged with Grouchy.
Line 78:
* [[Meaningful Echo]]: Living in a larger home means you can be further apart...
* [[Meaningful Name]]: All the Smurfs' names are this by definition. [[Lampshaded]] when the humans ask about it.
{{quote| '''Patrick:''' And you're all named after your personalities? Do you get your names when you're born or after you've exhibited certain traits?<br />
'''The Smurfs:''' [[Mathematician's Answer|Yes.]] }}
* [[Meaningful Rename]]: Papa Smurf refers to Patrick as 'Papa' at the end, to show that he believes Patrick will be just as good a dad as he is.
Line 99:
* [[Product Placement]]: So blatant and constant that it approaches a sublime art form all by itself.
** [http://www.flickfilosopher.com/blog/2011/07/the_smurfs_review.html Inverted as well, when competing products are involved].
{{quote| '''Flick Filospher:''' The cleverness of The Smurfs never ceases to astonish! Gosnell plays with product placement, launching an extended sequence set in the famous toy store FAO Schwarz with a chase set in the plaza outside... while at the same time completely avoiding getting even the tiniest sliver of a shot of the dramatic glass-cube Apple store situated in that very plaza. (By spectacular contrast, Sony computers litter the film.) }}
* [[Prophetic Fallacy]]: Clumsy interrupts Papa Smurf's attempt to foresee the outcome of the Blue Moon Festival, so he misses a crucial part of the prophecy and spends most of the film trying to keep Clumsy out of trouble, which naturally triggers the plot.
* [[Punctuated for Emphasis]]: Grouchy in ''A Christmas Carol'': "I! HATE! HATS!" And before that..."I! HATE! CHRISTMAS!"
Line 113:
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Subverted without apparent irony -- yes, Smurfette is the only female Smurf, but the ''human'' cast has both a [[Women Are Wiser|down-to-earth female]] and a domineering lady boss. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] as well; Gargamel created Smurfette in order to entrap the all-male Smurfs, but she did a [[Heel Face Turn]] and joined them.
* [[SMURFING]]: Variously played straight, parodied and lampshaded.
{{quote| '''Patrick:''' ...and you like to use the extremely imprecise term 'smurf' for just about everything.}}
* [[So Proud of You]]: Papa Smurf shows this to {{spoiler|Clumsy}} near the end of the movie.
* [[Speech-Impaired Animal]]: Azrael is a [[Nearly-Normal Animal]], but he borders on [[Speech-Impaired Animal]] in the scene when he tries to say, "Are you dead?"
