11 Smurfingly Bad Puns In "The Smurfs 2"
"I feel like Meryl Smurfenstreep!"
It is really hard to dislike the Smurfs. They're so smurfing adorable!
But The Smurfs 2 is smurfed to the smurf with smurf-related puns — these are the worst offenders:
1. "It has 101 likes on Smurfbook!"
2. Said to a kissing human couple: "Hey, get a schroom!"
That actually has a (hopefully unintended) double meaning!
3. "I was like Meryl Smurfenstreep!"
4. "I call that crêpe smurfsette!"
The movie is largely set in Paris — which makes this line even more of a groaner, if possible.
5. "Smurfatunities!"
As in "opportunities." Right.
6. "Smurfholm Syndrome!"
Wait, does that mean Smurf Village is like a Swedish bank?
7. "I made you your favorite [cake]: blue velvet!"
Yet another accidental association with something decidedly un-Smurfy.
8. "He's blue-tiful!"
Oddly, the very worst puns aren't smurf-related at all. They're the result of Gargamel turning Neil Patrick Harris' stepdad into a duck. (Look, just go with it.)
9. First of all, there's this one.
Look, Vanity Smurf, calling attention to the pun doesn't really make it any better.
