King Smurf is a character that appeared in the episode "King Smurf". He was Brainy Smurf, who in Papa Smurf's absence decided to make himself king so that his fellow Smurfs would follow his orders without questioning them. During his rather short reign as King Smurf, Brainy wore a gold-colored Smurf hat and pants with a crown perched on the back of the hat as well as a red cloak with a furry white trim. He carried around a scepter that had a small mushroom on top.
As King Smurf, Brainy appointed Harmony to be his official herald and Hefty as his captain of the guard. He had Hefty force the other Smurfs to build him a castle that he could live in. When Jokey played his usual "surprise" giftbox joke on Brainy, he had Jokey arrested and put into prison, where he remained until his fellow Smurfs broke him out and escaped into the forest. Realizing that he now had a rebellion on his hands, Brainy had a high fence erected and a moat surrounding the village so that the rebels could not re-enter. Nonetheless, during a charge attack by the rebels, a gap was formed in the fence that enabled the rebels to enter the fortified village.
It was during this fighting among themselves when Papa Smurf returned, chastizing the Smurfs for "acting like human beings" and ignoring the danger of the village dam about to burst. Immediately they dropped what they were doing and allowed the overflowing water to be released from the dam, destroying Brainy's royal palace in the process. Realizing the error of his ways, Brainy relinquished his role as King Smurf to help fix the village with his fellow Smurfs joining him, and his King Smurf clothes were used as part of a scarecrow in their fields.
- In one of Vic George's Smurfs fanfiction stories related to his character Empath, Brainy relived his fantasy of being King Smurf in the Smurf Village Imaginarium.
