Why is there an animated Smurf at the bottom of the page in AIBU?

There's no text, just a Smurf doing one-handed push-ups.

I just noticed that too. Very strange.

Advertising. New smurf film out soon.

I quite like it. Far better than the lovehoney ad at the top!

Smurfs are very unreasonable

One handed push ups are also very unreasonable

There's one on the active page as well, trying to kick a ball.

Hello!

Well...

If you click on the lovely little smurf then it will take you to a competition we're running. You need to mention the URL of where you found the smurf and what not, but that's what it is!

I don't see a smurf! I want a smurf :(

Yes I saw him too! I honestly thought I was hallucinating ...again

Entered comp

How do you put or find the url. I am incompetent. If a licence was needed for using the internet I wouldn't be allowed one

Don't worry Maudlinmaud. Today is all about 'java' and I keep seeing 'jaffa' and then I want .

When you see the blue smurf, click him. A new tab will open and you can enter the comp. Go back to the page you found the smurf on and copy and paste the link into the box where it asks!

Thanks Lorna. Mmmm
I will wait until youngest dc comes in, she will know about the copy and paste thing plus Smurfs.

I wonder how many times you can enter, I've done it twice ATM, the football one and the push up one.

I just clicked a Smurf but got an error link :(

Yeah, looks like a fault, hopefully it's up and running later.

Irritating

Hallo,

Yes - that's a fault, apologies! We've raised with tech, so should be fixed a-sap.

God these are so fucking annoying. I can see it moving around when I'm trying to type a message on my phone.

I have zero interest in arsing around with smurfs. Can't they be positioned so you can't see them when typing a message on your phone?

Found this thread as I was about to post the same question about the smurf. Thought something had gone very strange.
I do seem to spend most of my time on MN hanging out in "site stuff" now, which is a bit sad!

My smurf is attempting albeit poorly to kick a football 😂

Ooh yes, my smurf is a football one too, not press ups.
