Description in the list of Smurfs
Brainy Smurf considers himself the most intelligent Smurf in the village and an expert on everything, although his actual knowledge is questionable at best; often, his attempts to help in a given situation lead to even more problems, and the Smurfs often blame him on everything. As such, he’s the most disliked Smurf in the village. He isn’t so bossy in The Smurfs 2. He can be distinguished from the others by the large glasses he wears. Since season 3 he has archived his self-perceived wit and wisdom in several volumes of books entitled “Quotations of Brainy Smurf”, in which he tries to give it to the Smurfs, but with no success. When he annoys the other, the Smurfs respond by throwing him out of the village by Hefty (or with a mallet in the comics) or simply ignoring him. His vices aside, Brainy is a good, loyal Smurf who can be counted on when the need arises, and more than once – without thinking about it – ends up doing the right thing. His original name translates to “Smurf with Glasses”.
