in this most blood thirsty of all death matches, none of these combatants could battle without injury…
so
fraggles
smurfs
god help us all
Oh God no!!! It’s awful!! So much destruction…OH THE HUMANITY…
Smurfs…Cuz Papa Smurf is ex-KGB…oh wait, was I not supposed to say that?
EDIT -
BTW - Hank Azaria as Gargamel below…
well lets not forget the fraggle SS those dozers know how to get craaaap done. you’d be surprised what a shovel and the right amount of force can make a man do.
First off, created a poll for this intriguing concept.
Question: Are Dozers Fraggles? I always thought of them as another species entirely. I need to know if they fall under the Fraggle umbrella before casting my vote.
Thanks Gryper. No Dozers, my vote goes to Smurfs. Smurfs would devise an intricate plan while the Fraggles would wander around looking for Dozer food to eat. No contest.
My vote goes to Fraggles cause Katie Cook’s work is sweet and she is a big Star Wars geek (including appearances on Podcasts):
Love the Fraggle. They were the underdogs of the weird kid animal that talk Kingdom.
There’s a great DVD box set out. That I think you can find on amazon.
The heck is that from?!
No Baltar option? I wanna say Fraggles because the are bigger, but then I remember all the crap Papa Smurf would cook up. So, I dunno.
I dunno. One Silly Creature from Outer Space (human) seems to be all the Smurfs can handle. A few dozen Fraggles at once might be too tall an order (as it were.)
Having only seen one episode of Fraggles I’m voting Smurfs for two reasons:
-
The Smurfs gained great experience overcoming adversity, being under constant threat of genocide by Gargamel and Azrael. I think this gives them an edge.
-
If the Catholic church was afraid of the Smurfs, labeling them “witches”, I’m afraid of them too. And so should you, don’t let the three apples fool you.
Also, again, I’m not too familiar with Fraggles but if I remember correctly there were HUNDREDS of Smurfs. They could sandbag the enemy with their own corpses (like elves defending Audra’s Helm’s Deep) buying time for Brainy and Papa to cook up some cool defense. Then they could ride away on Data.
I think Brainy would be key to winning the battle because, as we all know, the Geek shall inherit the Earth.
PS - I discussed this with my wife, who has seen Fraggle Rock, and she agrees with me.
Yeah, they could build a wall INCHES high…
Ok, I love the Fraggles more than I will ever like the Smurfs. In fact I don’t really like the smurfs. But here’s the thing, to a Smurf, the above picture is what Smurfette looks like to them. She is their pin up girl, USO, cheerleader and reason for doing stupid stuff (like going to war) all rolled into one package. The Fraggles have no such motivation.
So Smurfs, hands down.
So, first thing they do is take out Smurfette. Maybe Papa to boot.
GAME OVER, MAN!
Fraggles are among the best things ever, but I’ve got to break my standing practice of voting for my personal favorite and pick the Smurfs. The Fraggles are a lovers, not fighters. The Smurfs, at least they’ve got some magic on their side. And I could see the Smurfs having a dark side.
Now, maybe if the Fraggles got the Doozers and Gorgs involved…
Is it wierd that I suddenly find Smurfette hot?
Zoey Saldana/Neytiri syndrome…
Definitely Fraggles. Muppets are awesome and I wanted to be Mokey when I grew up.
Sean, you disappoint me!
Seriously, folk, how is this even a question? Fraggles. Fraggles rock. Smurfs drool.
I think I would have to wonder how long the war would last, and who the aggressor was. If the Fraggles came out from underground to take on the Smurfs, I would put things heavily in favor of the Smurfs, so long as Papa Smurf could pull off some magic to end the war fast. Most of the Smurf ‘dealing with adversity’ was running away from Gargomel or having Papa Smurf save them. Even Brainy’s clever solutions were usually just too clever to work. The Smurfs would also have the advantage aboveground as they are used to the aboveground world. Excepting that one Fraggle Uncle who was exploring and misunderstanding the real world, none of them had a clue how to survive outside of their caves.
If the Smurfs were the aggressors and were going underground, things go back to being heavily in favor of the Fraggles, especially since Papa Smurf can’t call on deer and falcons or robins or whatever because they aren’t underground. Also, as has been shown in recent history, caves make really good hiding places, are really hard to root out and explore. Plus the Dozers might come in with the Fraggles in the case of invasion, which could also tip the forces. The battle underground would be long, and I think the Fraggles would win there.
Time plays a major issue here. The Fraggles at least has a semi-balanced male-female ratio. All the Smurfs were smurfin Smurfette. If we get to war of attrition, the Fraggles would definitely win.
I’m going to have to vote Smurfs, because I think Papa Smurf would somehow wrap it up quickly with his magic (and I don’t see a counter to that on the Fraggle side). I also really can’t conceive of the Smurfs being aggressors.
