Bump, does no one know what episode is this?
According to IMDB ( http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0295043/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t27
) there are only 4 episodes that feature the character Balthazar.
- Future Smurfed/Crying Smurfs (1986) TV episode, Played by Keene Curtis - Smurf on Wood (1984) TV episode, Played by Keene Curtis - Papa's Wedding Day (1982) TV episode, Played by Keene Curtis The Smurfs Springtime Special (1982) (TV) Played by Keene Curtis
Given your information I would try the springtime special.
This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.
I've seen the Springtime Special multiple times and I'm pretty sure I haven't seen Balthazar getting his ass handed to him by his godson, and I've also seen Crying Smurfs and there's no Balthazar in sight.
That page looks incomplete. I remember seeing the character being featured in, say, "Gargamel's Last Will", but the episode isn't listed there.
I've taken a look at both Papa's Wedding Day and Smurf on Wood and neither of them feature Balthazar's beatdown.
Bump... Does no one really know for sure?
Bump...
Bump...
...I wonder if the No-Holds-Barred Beatdown thing between Balthazar and his godson (with the latter winning) even exists in the series. I mean, the pages that mention it say it happens in the second Christmas special (which apparently means 'Tis The Season To Be Smurfy), yet after looking it up, it appears said Christmas Special doesn't even feature either character.

Really? Does no one know?

Just to complicate your search... Have you considered the possibility that the event you are looking may have never happened in the animation and only occurred somewhere in the print comics?

Did you try just watching the 4 episodes with him in it?
@Daefaroth Not really. I don't think Balthazar ever appears in the comics (but then again I never really laid my eyes on them), and some pages of The Smurfs (the character sheet and the Crowning Moment of Awesome page if I remember correctly) claim it happens in the second Christmas special. It's apparently supposed to be 'Tis the Season To Be Smurfy since it's the aforementioned second (and last) Christmas special, but that doesn't even feature either of the two villains I've brought up. What I did take into consideration though is that information about this "beatdown scene" might actually be falsified and misleading info (also making the quote "He is my friend!" on the character page a case of Beam Me Up, Scotty!).
@Bootlebat As I had previously mentioned, I've seen both the Springtime Special and Crying Smurfs (the latter of which doesn't even feature Balthazar), and looking up Smurf on Wood and Papa's Wedding Day turned up nothing about the beatdown. It also turned out the IMDB page is actually inaccurate; Balthazar doesn't make his only appearances in the episodes IMDB mentions (and Crying Smurfs doesn't belong), and some searching turned up [1] a talk page on the Smurfs wikia that properly lists all episodes he appears in (though I have the feeling at least 1 episode might've been left out).
Bump
Oh god, so many bumps...
I hope it's fine if I ask about an episode. Anyhow, I was looking around on the character sheet page of The Smurfs and saw trope entries that mention Gargamel beating the crap out of his godfather Lord Balthazar (who otherwise frightens him) for hurting Azrael, and I want to see the episode where it happens so bad. The page suggests it's the second Christmas special, but I've looked around on the Internet and neither the Christmas specials nor regular Christmas-based episodes (Baby's First Christmas and The Magic Sack Of Mr. Nicholas) even mention Balthazar on their Wikia pages (though it's possible it might be misleading info). I'm not entirely sure where to continue searching without resorting to watching every single episode. Could anyone please tell if they know what episode is this?
