** Except... that theory doesn't really work at all, does it? Outside of looking alike (and the Smurfs themselves act like they all look totally different, so they're clearly able to tell each other apart even if we aren't) and dressing similarly (which seems to be a fashion thing, or maybe just that most Smurfs don't want to spend a lot of time deciding what to wear today), the Smurfs aren't particularly conformist. Outside of "working for the common good" in which each Smurf uses his particular talents for the good of the village, they're very clearly allowed to be as individualistic as they like, and individualism is celebrated rather than frowned upon. Otherwise characters like Grouchy, Lazy and especially Jokey would never have been allowed to continue the way they do, and really the only reason why Brainy gets so much beef from the other Smurfs is that he's an annoying, snotty suck-up who thinks he knows everything better than everyone else, not because he doesn't conform.

[[WMG: Grouchy is Baby Smurf's biological father.]]
Think about it: knowing that Grouchy is a very private guy, it is not unlikely that he met some smurf girl from the [[WesternAnimation/SmurfsTheLostVillage female smurf village]] and had a brief affair with her, without ever having told anyone about it (he doesn't even need to know the other village, as they can meet by chance in the forest). The relationship likely ended abruptly, with the girl hurting Grouchy in some way, as well as announcing that she was pregnant with him.
In "Once In a Blue Moon", after Baby Smurf mysteriously appears in the village, Grouchy, at first, seems even more revolted than usual, as if he has a big imbroglio to settle. But when Grouchy sees Baby Smurf mimicking his crossed-arms gesture and bitter grimace, he marvels, as if thinking, "he's my blood!" And Grouchy smiles genuinely. Later, when the stork announces that it made a mistake and that it will have to take Baby Smurf back (where?), Grouchy revolts and kidnaps Baby, taking him to an island far away from the village. It's as if he thought, "If my son doesn't have a place in the village, neither do I!" Why would he sacrifice so much for a baby that isn't even his? Still, what would he have to gain by leaving the comforts of the village and leading a solitary life in the woods with a mysterious baby? If he already complains all the time with the good life he leads, imagine what it would be like with a much tougher life with Baby. But he doesn't care and takes the baby with him anyway. There had to be a very strong reason for him to do this.
[[WMG: Smurfette climbed the Mountain of Mists to commit suicide.]]
In "Squeaky", Smurfette is so upset by the death of her pet mouse that she falls into a depression and locks herself in the house. Then she has a nightmare involving [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bftmZlpAkPg a certain UNICEF ad]] and decides to kill herself before she sees all smurfs die before her eyes.
So she writes a goodbye letter and runs away in the middle of the night, without anyone noticing. No special clothes, no backpack, no food, nothing. All she does is climb the Mountain of Mists to lie down and freeze to death, in a sleep without return, as Squeaky himself died. But once on the mountain, she stops a squirrel from becoming a hawk's lunch, and in the midst of the melee, she falls off the cliff and clings to the branch. Then she starts screaming for help, either because she has given up on suicide or because she doesn't want to die so violently. Fortunately the Smurfs appear and rescue her, and she is convinced that she has done a great stupidity, returning to the village at last.

[[WMG: Some of the smurfs we perceive as “male” are actually female.]]
Think about it. Smurfs aren’t human, so there’s no reason for them to have human sexual dimorphism. Think lizards, you can’t tell the difference between a male and female lizard at first glance, right? And unless you look in a smurf’s tights, you can’t tell their biological sex. As for the pronouns, they could always be like {{Discworld}} dwarves, where gender is a private thing and most are assumed to be male in public. Smurfette may have been the first female smurf resembling a human female, but she was not the first female smurf ever.
* As for which smurfs are females, I have some ideas. In the episode Smurfquest where the smurfs were subjected to rapid aging, some smurfs grew beards and some didn’t. Perhaps the ones that didn’t are females? I know Brainy, Grouchy, and Greedy didn’t grow beards, as well as some other smurfs.

** The episode "Brainy Smurf, Friend To All Animals" shows even more of Gargamel's love towards his cat. When Balthazar arrives on the scene and is about to shoot at the wildcat he's hunting for - with Azrael standing right next to it - Gargamel suddenly becomes very worried and warns his godfather that he might hurt Azrael. Then, Balthazar outright states ''he doesn't care'', and Gargamel keeps pleading him by saying Azrael is all he's got. A truly evil and apathetic person wouldn't do what Gargamel does here.

** Another thing to note is that in "Gargamel's Time Trip" (which showcases a younger Gargamel) Azrael was a kitten at the time when Gargamel went to school, and it's quite likely Gargamel was a late teenager at most. A housecat's typical lifespan as a pet is up to around 20 years - perhaps a little more if the cat it well cared for - so if Gargamel were to be older than 40, chances are Azrael would be either dead or too worn to chase Smurfs in the time period that the show normally takes place in (unless Gargamel was able to use some sort of spell to slow his cat's aging and extend his lifespan considerably). So if Azrael was a kitten when Gargamel attended school, and he's now a healthy adult cat while his master appears to be old, then it's even more likely that Gargamel is actually middle-aged and that his old looks were caused by emotional stress...

* Gargamel has only one tooth left, a partially bald head and a face and body reminiscent of an old man. This would imply that he's older than 45-50 years or so. But here's the thing... We've seen a couple of his relatives that should be even older than him by default (his mother and godfather Balthazar), yet they're still alive and well and one of them looks almost like Gargamel (his mother) while the other doesn't look elderly at all (his godfather). Gargamel has also been shown as a younger person who has more hair and a considerably less saggy face, and on at least a couple of occasions he also had his age advanced to a point where he truly became an old man, possibly putting his actual age in the middle range of 30-40 - where a person his age ''shouldn't'' be looking old quite yet, especially around relatives like Balthazar. The possible explanation? His aging was accelerated, and in real life accelerated aging can be caused by emotional stress conditions such as loneliness and depression.

* Have you ever noticed the dead tree near Gargamel's hovel? If you take a closer look, in the cartoon at least, the tree stands behind the dwelling. It may actually be a hint towards Gargamel's true nature; the tree is withered and weak, just like he is physically, and it stands behind a solidly built hovel that's mostly built of stone, while Gargamel's personality is cold and distant - like stone. Not to mention we see and explore the hovel on a frequent basis but not the tree, which doesn't display any purpose in the show. So in this case the hovel would be a facade, and the tree would be the truth that hides behind said facade - in turn hinting at Gargamel possibly hiding his true nature behind what we see as villainy and cruelty with very little insight on what he's truly like.
