Paterson "Bombshell" Just PG-13?
Some people were scratching their heads when Macy's announced that one of three new Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons would be a giant Smurf--especially since the popular 80's Saturday morning cartoon hasn't aired in almost 20 years. Though a press release said that Macy's was "thrilled to help the Smurfs celebrate their 50th anniversary," it might have something more to do with the live-action Alvin & the Chipmunks-style movie treatment being given to the Smurfs for the next holiday season. But which Smurf was that balloon today supposed to be? During CBS's parade coverage, speculation ran towards it being Baby Smurf, but where's Baby's onesie? Despite a resemblance to both, he's a little too on-the-go to be either Lazy or Dreamy Smurf. Could it be Jokey Smurf--running from his latest prank? It's just not right about referring to it simply as "Smurf"--the poor little guys are already Communist enough. Photo: pbump on Flickr

Is could be everyone's favorite: The who gives a fuck smurf.
I loved the little commie Smurfs. Smurfette (not quite sure what her job in the commune was? maybe prostitute?) was my favorite.
Smurfs creep me out.
it's called, the smurf balloon who was used in the 80's but then stored away in a hanger and then re-brought out cause it's cheaper to use a nostalgic balloon than a new one.
I miss Underdog.
How about Generic Smurf?
Sure I know who this is!
It's that Smurf that's always giving a helping hand, in the background. Forget his name but I'm glad he's finally getting some recognition!
Smurfette is like the Queen Bee. She's everyone smurf's mother, sister, cousin, girlfriend...
It's Extra Smurf.
The Smurf who's called in to dance the Dance of 100 Smurfs, but spent most of the ten years that show was on the air keeping out of the way of his drama-queen siblings like Hefty, Greedy, Vanity, et al.
