Bongo is a head shrinker who appeared only in the ninth season episode of the Smurfs cartoon show "Small Minded Smurfs". He lived in a deep part of the Amazon rain forest, and he was desperately longing to have some peaceful sleep with Shrinky (a teddy bear with a pinhead).

However he was awakened by a group of monkeys and time traveling Smurfs. The monkeys had been problematic for him as they were too fast, until Bongo hid and attacked them. Now that the Smurfs came and were singing often, Bongo sought to quiet them as well. Bongo used his red berries to shrink the heads of the Smurfs, which made the Smurfs' voices higher and quieter, and also caused them to act very foolishly as they used less brainpower, in addition to their strange new appearance, such as Smurfette getting a big blonde bouffant after her head was shrunk.

Luckily for both the Smurfs and the monkeys, Clumsy and Chimpy hatched a plan to get back at the mean head shrinker, namely in getting his own head shrunk with the help of a group of birds, who flapped their wings to send the red berries back to Bongo. In the end, Bongo, now much stupider (but nicer), gladly helped Clumsy reverse the problem for the shrunken heads by using some blueberries.

Notes[]

  • His appearance and mannerisms are based on those of classic Hollywood actor, Peter Lorre.
