A cartoon for children had smurfs that had adventures. The Smurfs were blue little creatures living in a mushroom village. It's very strange to have that mustache on one of those creatures.
You clearly don't Smurf either. Don't you remember the episode where Garamel disguised himself as a Smurf (with a pea painted blue for his tail) and he couldn't figure out the language? "Smurf" is almost every part of speech. Lol
Amazing how united states citizens decided to create awful rumors about a poor latin American country but don't think they are xenophobic because the jokes are "woke"
I'm English, Argentina is one of if not the most racist country I've visited. Also welcomed a significant number of Nazi immigrants post WWII. It's not really an unearned reputation from my experience
Sure, we are more racist than your country that literally enslaved and colonized half of the world and still continues to be an imperialistic killing machinery. Palestine-Israel, Pakistan-India, most of the worlds conflicts today can be traced to the British colonizing Empire.
Also, more nazis emigrated and worked on the USA, but for some reason you never hear about that.
You say it's one of the most racist countries you have ever visited. I truly do not know how we can be more racists than every single European country that actually enslaved and stole from the African continent for centuries and still refuses to give anything back. How we can be more racist than the Commonwealth system. How we can be more racists that countries that have rallies every month against migration from the same countries you colonized.
Argentina has a lot of immigration, the biggest Spanish speaking Jewish community, a huge native and mixed population, we never had slavery (as an independent country, of course), we never had laws against mixed marriages and they were always socially acceptable, we never had groups like the KKK, instead of things like "Thanksgiving" that sanitize colonial history we have the "day of cultural respect" where we acknowledge the crimes of Spaniard colonial past, etc.
Qué te pasa? Nunca dije que los países latinos no eran racistas... mi punto es que Perú, Chile, Brasil, etc. Son igual de racistas que Argentina.
Están acusando a mi país de ser Nazi, no me voy a callar
Edit: for non Hispanic speakers that have the same confusion... learn to read. I never said we are not racist. Every country in the world is racist, what I am saying is that Argentina being more racist/a nazi country is a myth endorsed by the united states that is very easy to debate, and it's actually quite xenophobic.
Also, you are so xenophobic that you don't even take the time to differentiate between different Latin American countries and actually help my argument. La Casa Lobo is a wonderful Chilean film based on a story that happened on Chile (Colonia Diginidad), which shows the point I'm trying to make: we had nazi immigration after the war, just like most countries on the continent, but the USA became focused on spreading propaganda about us to take down a revolutionary government, just like they do with every single Latinamerican country (now that we are talking about Chile, you should Google Allende's and Plan Condor history)
It is in Dutch, so the German word Führer was definitely on purpose: it's not a word in Dutch and the connotation is very much Hitler. Especially wild because it's called King Smurf in English. They could've just called it De Smurfenkoning.
fwiw the story is about how a power-hungry smurf takes advantage of Papa Smurf's absence to persuade the smurfs to elect him as leader, then demands to be referred to as King and becomes increasingly authoritarian. The fuhrer reference to Hitler is deliberate not to endorse him but to make it clear that's who the story is criticizing/commenting on (not saying it is effective in that critique)
I was just saying that it's not a joke any German editor would have made, nor is it "just a German word" (as the comment I commented on said): "Führer" is not really used anymore apart from combined words ("Fremdenführer" (tourist guide), "Führerschein" (drivers licence) etc.) and when you talk about German history...
It’s just a very weird word choice, man. The comic came out in 1965, so it’s not like Hitler was off the memory. Several nazi trials were still ongoing. Imagine if today a Smurf comic came out called ‘Osama bin Smurf’. Wouldn’t go over well either would it?
and is a word that is used today in my country without issue.
It's not really used in German at least. You might have combined words ("Reiseführer", "Führerschein", "Marktführer"...), and potentially certain adjectives with it ("religiöser Führer") but "Führer" alone definitely isn't as popular as it was before 1933...
There is something wrong with the word, quite obviously, and that's not bad: different words garner different reputation and are used differently over time. Same goes for names. "Adolf" isn't very popular after 1945, same as "Osama" will get you a more inquisitive look after 2001. Hardly anyone calls their kid "Napoleon" or "Karen" anymore, and that's okay. There's something wrong with the name's/the word's connotation, so it's not really in usage anymore outside of the negative connotation.
The hand is all wrong. Definitely not the “Heil.” This is just some Smurf with an Art History degree, realizing he’s going to be a Starbucks barista the rest of his life. Zero possibility to get a Smurfette, which is why he’s about to jerk it with the other hand. The whole thing gives “Nothing to see here” vibes…
One side led by a dictator that wears all red, the other side a crude Jewish caricature…also remember when they got bit by the flies and turned into uncontrollable black versions of themselves?
Peru has a Nazi problem. A few years ago, a drug bust found bricks of cocaine wrapped with little Nazi flags and Hitler’s name imprinted into the bricks.
Nah, if you reverse image search just that portion, you get a good-ole-fashioned low-quality vector trace job. This is a traditional knockoff, probably with assets that were stolen directly through scraper bots or underpaid data center workers.
It's obviously traced from this picture, which was on the internet way back in 2013, according to the Smurfs fanon wiki I found it on.
well i mean gargamel was a pretty absurd anti-semitic caricature so i’m not surprised. i don’t know the origin of the anti-semitic themes within the show, but it certainly is disturbing
Reminds me of the time when I bought a used Gameboy copy of Dr. Mario and it turned out to be a Nazi version of it. Can't really find any pictures of it but it does exist somewhere.
I once got a nazi soldier in an "Action Figure" children's bath bomb. Told the company (so it could be pulled) and they replaced it with another "Action Figure" bath bomb. Ended up getting a sexy Santa *face palm*
Do you have a link to where you can purachse it? Or a video of you opening the book and turning to the page? I hate to be obtuse, but even the picture you shared above looks AI.
I want to know because if a company put that into the world, they need to be identified and called out for it. If a company didn't do this and OP is passing it off as if it did, that makes the internet worse for all of us.
It's Smurfler!
Smurdolf Hitsmur
Smitler
He was so bad that Papa Smurf flat out told Gargamel he could have Smurfler for free with no resistance from the rest of the Smurfs
What the Smurf???
No smurfing way Mothersmurfer!

He was making a joke not asking what a Smurf is.
I think he was joking too
This guy doesn't Smurf.
And by "this guy," I mean you.
Bad bot
Smurf off.
Whoosh
You missed the joke
The joke being that the Smurfs use "Smurf" as a substitute for just about every adjective
You clearly don't Smurf either. Don't you remember the episode where Garamel disguised himself as a Smurf (with a pea painted blue for his tail) and he couldn't figure out the language? "Smurf" is almost every part of speech. Lol
That's amazing. I was thinking Argentina at first haha
Me too! My first thought was: "yeee, that's not normal for Peru... If it was Argentina on the other hand..."

Im Latin American but shut up, stop acting like Latin American countries aren’t also incredibly racist please 🙏.

¿Pero cómo seguirá minimizando EE. UU. su propio reclutamiento de nazis si no hay otro país que pueda denigrar?
No pierdas el tiempo con gente que es idiota.
Are you done?
This feels like a rage bot right
I am not even responding to you? Liberals love to act like you are overacting when you tell them they are xenophobic. Are you done being xenophobic?
Liberals?
As compelling as your reasoning isn't, why are we bringing politics into this?
Are you done?

Mildly inführiating
As a Peruvian no this is not normal lol. Is probably a nock off. If you buy it in the street or a not so official place is probably not official.
Once again Charlie Chapsmurf is misunderstood.
No, that’s Charlie Smurflin
His rise to power was rendered null when no Smurf could understand if the smurfy Smurfs or the smurfy Smurfs were supposed to be the bad guys…
Are we the baddies? We have SMURFS on our hats.

Reminder that this is a canon title in the Smurfs comic book series.
Yeah because it just a german word
Yes. But this is not a German book. The title is presumably in Dutch or something.
It is in Dutch, so the German word Führer was definitely on purpose: it's not a word in Dutch and the connotation is very much Hitler. Especially wild because it's called King Smurf in English. They could've just called it De Smurfenkoning.

Thanks for the confirmation!

The original title literally means The Smurfissimo in French.
So? Smurfs aren’t allowed to be in Germany?
Not after what they did to the Jews
The Germans or the Smurfs?
Smurves*
Like wolves of milves.
Sure. But they're not called "Smurfs" in German. This book isn't the German version.
Yeah it’s Dutch (probably Belgian) so really no excuse for this
No excuse for what? Having a German setting for a Smurf story?
It’s just a very weird word choice, man. The comic came out in 1965, so it’s not like Hitler was off the memory. Several nazi trials were still ongoing. Imagine if today a Smurf comic came out called ‘Osama bin Smurf’. Wouldn’t go over well either would it?
Fuhrer is a German word meaning ‘Leader’ and is a word that is used today in my country without issue. There is nothing wrong with the word.
Calling something ‘Osama Bin whatever’ is not even close to being the same thing.
It's not really used in German at least. You might have combined words ("Reiseführer", "Führerschein", "Marktführer"...), and potentially certain adjectives with it ("religiöser Führer") but "Führer" alone definitely isn't as popular as it was before 1933...

There's something wrong with the name's/the word's connotation, so it's not really in usage anymore outside of the negative connotation.
So? There’s nothing inappropriate about the Smurfs having a story set in Germany, regardless of which country’s version it is.
I'm guessing its AI. Look at the weird ear placement on Smurfette next to Smutf Hitler
Edit: Also Smurfette is barefoot. Shes almost always shown wearing shoes
Why would OP get AI to generate an AI image to then ask why the book has hitler smurf.
Also you can see the vertices of the book.
No you misunderstand. I'm saying the book used AI art and was probably made without a real person looking at it. I'm not saying OP is faking it
Oh, that makes sense. Now I look dumb.

Smurfler is weird but what is up with the Smurfette / Brainy Smurf chimera next to him?
Because it is terrifying. And probably the whole thing was made by AI.
Author of Mein Smurf and also a mid artist.
Hitler smurf has to take a shit just like anyone else, get off his case.
It's a bootleg coloring book, so not entirely surprising.
The hand is all wrong. Definitely not the “Heil.” This is just some Smurf with an Art History degree, realizing he’s going to be a Starbucks barista the rest of his life.

Peru had a local politician named Hitler that called himself the good Hitler.
oh so thats where he went
No, it's Charlie Chaplin, right?
It's just Smurflie Smurflin in celebrated film The Great Smurftator.
Peru? Looks more like Argentina.
So wait… Gargamel was the good guy?
One side led by a dictator that wears all red, the other side a crude Jewish caricature…also remember when they got bit by the flies and turned into uncontrollable black versions of themselves?
Takes off tinfoil hat
That book is for special adults.
Peru has a Nazi problem. A few years ago, a drug bust found bricks of cocaine wrapped with little Nazi flags and Hitler’s name imprinted into the bricks.
They can’t even get that right, Hitler liked meth.
Elon Musk is that you?
Smurfreich
No, it's himmler , way better
Smurfye Smurf - Smurf Smurfler
It’s just Austrian Smurf
Danm didn't know one of the 99 smurfs was Anti-semitic Smurf
What the smurf?
Wow.
Smurfler
Wtf is this real?
Smitler
That's just Vanity, we don't talk about his online activities.
South America moment
I mean, that's probably just some really bad knock-off Aliexpress fake. You get what you pay for.
Smurfler
In Peru? then yes is normal.
that wave could have been so much better
The one below doesn't even have a line drawn between her eyes.
This is probably just AI slop, a human wouldn't miss that detail.

haha at first I thought it was just his mouth doing a *o*
I immediately Smurfed about this Robot Chicken bit.
Hey guys don’t bully our Aqua blue painter we don’t want a politician who’s into Smurficide.
LMFAOOO
Reminds me of the time when I bought a used Gameboy copy of Dr. Mario and it turned out to be a Nazi version of it. Can't really find any pictures of it but it does exist somewhere.
What the actual SMURF did I just see?
Would it be
Sige Smurf
Or
Smurf Heil?
i hope someone recall this from the comics xD
I once got a nazi soldier in an "Action Figure" children's bath bomb. Told the company (so it could be pulled) and they replaced it with another "Action Figure" bath bomb. Ended up getting a sexy Santa *face palm*
Führer Abradolf?
This is very very silly indeed. Whyyyyyyyyyy.
It's normal, the browner the people the more they love Hitler
Can't believe this got through multiple reviews
If it’s a knock off then it didn’t make it through any lol
SMURF HEIL! ✋🏻

Do you own this book and have a physical copy or is this just an image you found on the internet?
Yeah I got it here
What is the ISBN number at the bottom of the barcode?
my man's this isn't a murder case. no need to be a detective

you take things too serious
was it made in india ?
