Return to Recap: The Smurfs (1981).
When Lazy is having trouble getting to sleep, he goes to see Papa Smurf about his problem, and the only thing he can recommend for the Smurf is plenty of exercise. Brainy decides to help Lazy get a second opinion, and ends up overhearing Papa Smurf talking to himself about something or somebody only having a few days left to live, making Brainy assume that he's talking about Lazy.
Tropes associated with this episode include
- Beastly Bloodsports: Lazy wants to leave the world taming a wild beast through a bull fight. The Smurfs swap out a harmless cow and make it look like it's charging at Lazy to give him the satisfaction of an actual fight.
- Getting the Boot: Brainy, for taking his frustration out on Clumsy by scolding him with a long winded speech.
- Literary Allusion Title: A pun on the title of the play Send Me No Flowers.
- Mistaken for Dying
- Out-of-Context Eavesdropping: Brainy overhearing Papa Smurf talking about someone or something only having a few days to live starts the whole situation of the episode.
