The Snorks aren't real? Darn, all those hours hanging out at the beach for nothing! Next you'll tell me the Wuzzles don't exist either!

In all honesty though, I hate how people keep comparing the two shows. Anyone who thinks the Snorks are a Smurf-ripoff just isn't paying attention. The Smurfs are blue creatures who live on land during the Middle Ages, while the Snorks are multicolored creatures who live underwater during modern times (or at least the mid-80s). The Smurfs wear mostly the same outfits, the Snorks have a wide variety. The Snorks also had more female characters.

Yep, mighty similar all right.

Yep, shows how smart they are! Like wow! So similar! Thanks to them almost no one remembers the Snorks. They just gotta be insane.

The one reason why they compare the two is probably because the names Smurf and Snork sound catchy saying them together and that they originated in the same geographical area(think they did; Correct me if I'm wrong). But that has NOTHING to do with the cartoons themselves. The only way they would have been similar is if they looked alike, sounded alike, lived the same sorta life-style,etc. DUH!
