** This is undone and [[InvertedTrope inverted]] for the live-action movie, where he's far more verbal and sarcastic, and only says "I hate..." a couple of times in the entire movie. Same goes for the 2016 feature film, and [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs2021 2021 animated series.]] His catchphrase in the 2021 series is "Me, I don't like" and "I do not like" which is an english translation Grouchy's original French catchphrase "Moi, j'aime pas" from the original French version of the comics and French dubs.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the cartoon series he does ''not'' live up to his name and is a full–fledged KnowNothingKnowItAll. In the live action films, he's a ''bit'' [[TheSmartGuy more knowledgeable]], if still fairly pretentious... and in the ''WesternAnimation/SmurfsTheLostVillage'' movie he's a full-fledged TheSmartGuy. It's worth noting that in the Belgian original it's not even implied that he has intellectual pretentions--he's called most often "The Smurf With Glasses" or "The Moralizing Smurf." Outside of his wearing glasses -- which traditionally imply intelligence in many culture -- there's nothing about him to suggest that he or anyone else thinks he's especially smart. He's most often a nag, a kiss-up, or a tattle-tale.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the Live-Action films, "The Legend Of Smurfy Hollow," "The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol," ''WesternAnimation/SmurfsTheLostVillage'', and the 2021 series. Brainy is a lot nicer and more sympathetic than he was in the comics and cartoon series.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He is hugely unpopular amongst the other Smurfs, due to being a smug, arrogant and pretentious KnowNothingKnowItAll, and as a running gag he gets tossed out of the village at least OnceAnEpisode. The only Smurf who actually admires Brainy and enjoys his company is Clumsy, but all the others can't stand him most of the time. This trait of course gets downplayed a bit as his characterisation softens through interpretations, though the other Smurfs still show playful distain disdain whenever his pompous side reemerges.

Grumpy Bear is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


* GrumpyBear: In the comic books, it was speculated at one point by other Smurfs that he never quite got over being stung by the Buzz Fly (apparently because he was the first victim and stayed the longest under its effect). In the cartoon show, his behavior is simply natural.

* NoodleIncident: At one point, the Smurfs meet a character cursed into a BalefulPolymorph and compelled to speak in complete gibberish. Papa Smurf not only recognizes the affliction, but more or less understands what the cursed character is saying, calling it "the language of the cursed." When asked by his fellow Smurfs how he can understand this "language," he refuses to elaborate.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the cartoon series he does ''not'' live up to his name and is a full–fledged KnowNothingKnowItAll. In the live action films, he's a ''bit'' [[TheSmartGuy more knowledgeable]], if still fairly pretentious... and in the ''WesternAnimation/SmurfsTheLostVillage'' movie he's a full-fledged TheSmartGuy.
** It's worth noting that in the Belgian original it's not even implied that he has intellectual pretentions--he's called most often "The Smurf With Glasses" or "The Moralizing Smurf." Outside of his wearing glasses -- which traditionally imply intelligence in many culture -- there's nothing about him to suggest that he or anyone else thinks he's especially smart. He's most often a nag, a kiss-up, or a tattle-tale.
