    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      A similar story would appear in the 1994 comic story "Le Schtroumpfeur de Bijoux" (lit. "The Smurfer of Jewelry" or "The Jewel Smurfer" in English where "Smurfer" means "Thief" in the Smurf language) where Jokey was taken by a couple of entertainers who would have him perform for humans. However, it would vary from "Sideshow Smurfs" in that Jokey would also be forced to steal for his captors.
    • Goofs
      The unscrupulous entertainer Bombast has a bulldog to performed tricks before the dog was replaced by Clumsy and Smurf. However, bulldogs were not used to perform tricks during the Middle Ages (the background of the Smurfs cartoon series), but were solely bred to bait bulls.
    • Quotes

      Smurfette: Oh, go back to your poster, Bluster. We're just practicing our dancing.

      [Moving her blond hair seductively]

      Bluster: [Growls in boredom, then looks back to the poster]

      Smurfette: [Speaking to Clumsy] Oh, it's no use, Clumsy. We'll never smurf

      [get]

      Smurfette: out of here.

      Clumsy Smurf: Ah, yeah. Not that Bluster sure would be glad to see us go.

      Smurfette: Clumsy, you just gave me an idea.

      Clumsy Smurf: Ah... I, did?

      Smurfette: You know, Clumsy, if we could escape, then Bluster will be the star of the show again.

      Bluster: [Growling in agreement, then looks up to Smurfette]

      Smurfette: But how could two, little, old Smurfs ever escape from this big, old, cage?

      Clumsy Smurf: Oh, yeah! How?

      Bluster: [Growling in agreement]

      Smurfette: Ah... I guess we're stuck, and poor Bluster will never be a star.

      Bluster: [Thinking for a momment and then opening the cage containing Clumsy and Smurfette]

      Smurfette: Oh, Bluster! What a surprise! And we'll never tell, will we, Clumsy?

      Clumsy Smurf: [Confused] Ah... tell what, Smurfette?

      Bluster: [Growling expecting an answer from Smurfette]

      Smurfette: Ah... nevermind, Clumsy. Come on!

      [Jumps out of the cage. Clumsy follows her by doing the same]
