When the Kens "ride" in without horses, I immediately thought it's a Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference

In the scene where Barbie says she's not "Stereotypical Pretty" anymore and the Helen Mirren VO says, "Note to the filmmakers: Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point."

I still find it funny that some people were triggered by the patriarchy theme on this movie when Ken was clearly interested in patriarchy just because of horses. As he knew patriarchy is more than just horses, he lost interested. Hands down one of the best jokes in the movie, i can't believe some people missed it 😂😂

My favorite line is, "To be honest, when I found out the patriarchy wasn't just about horses, I lost interest."

I howled when the narrator said “maybe one day the Kens will have as much power and influence in Barbieland as women have in the real world.”

Fun fact: that's Ryan Piers Williams - America Ferrara's real-life spouse - playing Gloria's cute Spanish-learning husband.

I gasped out loud in the cinema when I noticed the Red Pill, Blue Pill Matrix Shout Out. I love that Barbie didn't even hesitate when she initially chose the easiest option! 😂

My favorite thing about the depression Barbie commercial was that the doll was wearing clothing that we seen in the movie. That pastel dress is what Margot Robbie was wearing when she first confronted Ken, the pink outfit was worn by America Ferreira, and the sweat pants were in the “memories“ of America Ferreira and her daughter.

I’m almost 88 years old and have watched this movie eight times and love it. I thought Margot Robbie was spectacular-beautiful and awesomely talented. Ryan Gosling-just watch his facial expressions-knocked his Ken right out of the park. It was enlightening, brilliant with just the tiny bit of sadness to make me cry. I was too poor to buy a Barbie, but I had paper dolls, which, in fact, inspired Ruth Handler to invent the Barbie doll.

I've seen the movie four times now, and it's still laugh-out-loud funny. One thing I wanted to mention was American Ferrera's speech near the middle of the film. ("You have to be thin, but not too thin...."). It got a round of applause every single time.

Omg, thank you for mentioning Proust Barbie. I spent way too much time googling and trying to figure out who the Barbie in white was. Which is not easy when all you have is that she wore a white dress and was holding a flower. Turns out I never could have found her since she never existed. Thank you for solving this mystery for me!

Kate McKinnon's line “And then you're gonna start getting sad and mushy and complicated,” followed by a cat-like hiss, always gets me, fam. 6:26

I loved that Margot Robbie nailed every single movement and position or should I say lack of positions Barbie was able to get into. Watching Barbie prompted me to watch her other movies and appreciate how much of an amazing actor she is.

The “play guitar AT you” line has me cracking up. Too many memories of dudes with guitars thinking that was their ticket.

God, I love this movie. Honestly didn't think I would love a movie this much, but I do. Not in a fandom way, but in a deeper meaning kind of way - this movie wasn't just a movie. It's so much more special than that. This is art with a purpose.

Yesterday I was depressed, lonely with panic attacks and I was wearing sweatpants and I binge watched Barbie.

I noticed in the I’m Just Ken dance all the Kens are wearing black with pink socks, a reference to The Birdcage when Albert dresses in a suit but with pink socks.

I loved this movie, it was so much more than what I expected. A lot of ppl who've watched this movie said it's about patriarchy and that is certainly the most vocal part about the movie. However, my biggest takeaway from the movie was how it celebrated human experience. The scene where Barbie bursts into genuine laughter watching people in the park, and then feeling the winds blowing through a tree was so impactful.

I enjoyed the movie. I went into it knowing this was targeted at female audiences I read it made men look bad. I disagree. I saw it as a "girls rule, boys drool" prospective of a young girl. I remember them chanting that while jumping rope years ago in elementary school on the playground. Boys where there but not important in the beginning of the movie. Later ken realizes he was being a jerk after his man cave spell but he is still "upgraded" to having a part of council. Barbie also upgrades Ken from being an accessory for her to being his own person. She explains he should not always try to be in a shadow of hers but be his own character. She doesn't need a man in her life to make it but she has also let ken find his own way. And that speech was deep about being a woman. As a man it makes me realize how hard women have it in life. I never paid much attention to barbie but now I find her much cooler then I thought. And I didn't feel offended one bit.

I was so excited when she met Barbara Handler. Then when she was having tea with Ruth Handler, and I saw their fingers touch, I gasped and smiled bc it was just so RIGHT

Proof that barbie movie is in fact a movie for adults and not children I loved this movie, and already plan to buy it when it comes out.

I loved how Ken referred to what he does as just “beach” 😂 I thought the movie was fantastic!😊

At the beginning when one of the Barbies won the Nobel Prize and said, "Thank you. I worked really hard and I deserve this." This was pure "barbie world." In real life no woman ever says something that confident when being rewarded or recognized for her efforts. We demure and deflect, as we were taught to do.

You know, I had no desire to watch the Barbie movie, till we had movie night on my friend's Discord Channel, and I was generally surprised how incredibly done the movie was. Not only was it incredibly thought out, but remarkably entertaining. It was well cast, and well paced, and just a great, great movie.

This is a brilliant film, and it is not a child's film. In fact, when I went there were younger kids who were bored with it. It is not a "toy" film. It is a very clever social commentary for teens to adults. And 40% of the audience of this movie is male. It is about self-realization and treating EVERYONE, and, yes, including men, with decency and respect in our diverse society. I saw it three times and really enjoyed it because there is SO much packed into it. It's a deep yet very entertaining movie presented through the context of this iconic line of dolls. Just an excellent film that should be an Oscar contender across many categories. The sets, acting, and script are all just excellent.

Some do understand the existential crisis. Barbie lying in bed not able to sleep while thinking of death was me when I was 8. As an adult I got diagnosed with GAD.

I saw this because of all the other guys I saw freak out about it. I literally laughed out loud when Barbie proudly declared she doesn't have any genitals, and I enjoyed it

My favourite moment in the movie was when Barbie and Ken were arrested. Barbie’s mugshot said “Barbie”but Ken’s said, “and Ken”

I loved the beach off references and when the executive had on a sling after being "shot" with a plastic suction arrow. In fact, I adored all executive moments! Adorable and hilarious. It reminded me of the man flu. Poor babies. 😆

Ken's journey was discovering what it means to be a man, while Barbie's was discovering what it means to be human. I think many people, adults and kids alike, did not see the full depth of the human experience that is depicted.

When Weird Barbie was doing flips, it reminded me of Darryl Hannah in Blade Runner.

It was a brilliantly realistic movie, - and therefore a very tragic one. Breaking the girls' hopes, I would say. Look at Ken, who came with Barbie to the real world, pretending, that he wanted to help her: "What if you are on the beach? You will need a professional!" but as soon as she got taken in the "big scary black cars by the big scary black men", he decided: "Hm, should I follow & save her? No, I'd rather return back to Barbieland and tell guys about patriarchy!" And while Barbie was fighting for her freedom, he stole & spoilt her house, brainwashed her friends & almost destroyed the entire Barbieland. The real-life version of the fairytale story about "the prince, who comes, saves the princess & takes her to his castle." One of the first lessons a normal woman learns in her adult life: if you want to be saved, - save herself. Don't rely on men in this important question.

I loved this film. Went with my daughter and my sister and we all loved it. My husband liked it too, in a “everything everywhere all at once” sort of way. He scoffed quite loudly at the idea that it was somehow anti-man. As he said “men suffer under the patriarchy too, just not as much as women”

Near the end of the movie when Ken talks about the tiny fridge which stocks only a six pack and the freezer which is “basically useless.” I had one in college and yes the “cube” was tiny and the only thing you could put in the freezer was a “tiny” ice cube tray. Yeah, useless.😂😂😂

The amount of dedication and passion MsMojo have with the Barbie movie. I appreciate it 🤗

I was in the 1979 film "Being There" that was referenced by the "Barbie" movie when Ken enters Century City. The reference, or character parallels, is Chauncy Gardner (Peter Sellers) leaving his home for the first time in his life and discovering the real world vs its televised proximity.

“Here to see the gynecologist” made me burst out laughing!

President Barbie's bleep made me laugh-cry 🤣

I was crying laughing when the Depression Barbie ad came on screen because I definitely could relate. My mom and I were both laughing hard in a LOT of scenes. Pretty sure one of the dads-who-didn't-want-to-be-there was pissed off that we wouldn't stop laughing 😂 I didn't understand why we were the only ones laughing throughout the whole thing when there were a LOT of funny scenes.

I saw the movie 3 times and there were always little girls at the cinema. But this is not a kids movie

The “Ask your mother line had both me and my best friend laughing like crazy.

In court when lawyer says, “This makes me emotional and I’m expressing it. I have no difficulty holding both logic and feeling at the same time. And it does not diminish my powers, it expands them.”

When Ken discovers trucks had me laughing….and medallions, horses, fist-pumping, and mini fridges. I didn’t expect the movie to be so funny.

When weird barbie said " I'd like to see what kind of nude blob he hides under those jeans" Barbie was traumatized 😂😂

Rob Brydon as sugar daddy Ken is unexpected

Q: Why does 'regular' Barbie cost $19.95 and 'divorced' Barbie cost $299.99 ? A: 'Divorced' Barbie comes with Ken's car, Ken's house, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture, Ken's jewellery, Ken's money, Ken's computer and Ken's best friend !! 🤔🤨🧐😳

Ken's comment, "I have all the genitals" is priceless.

What hit me even more a few weeks after I saw Barbie 3x: both Margot & Ryan masterfully get laughs while acting serious, even desperate - acting the angst with TOTAL commitment.

Clever movie for adults with brilliant satire played magnificantly by the cast.

OMG, you totally missed that the "sight of men riding horses" was a homage to Monty Python's The Holy Grail where the king and his entourage did that pretend-to-ride-a-horse action while being followed by a peasant clapping coconut halves together! I did a literal spit take in the theater over that! (So glad no one was sitting in front of me!)

I had to stifle myself during the opening homage to "2001." Hands down the best bit in this clever film.

I've watched so much Barbie content at this point I'm still surprised there's nuances I still have yet to pick up on. Brilliant movie .

Greta & Margot just knocked it *OUT of the ballpark!* Such a fun, thought-provoking movie.

It was made for adults. At 62 I found it brilliant and very funny (Every joke and entendre) and perfectly done. I was so surprised, in a good way. Saw it twice and wouldn't turn it down if someone in my household wants to watch it with me.

Growing up in the 1960's I LOVED this movie! You bet those references were for adults- we roared thru them. I thought Ryan did a super job of Ken, Margot as Barbie and Ariana as pouty Sasha!!!

When the Kens arrive on the beach on their paddle boats to fight the other Kens, it is a reference to the Trojan War with Helen of Troy.

That's pretty much everything. The whole movie goes over kids heads

And with the BRATZ References, Sasha’s nickname in the film was ‘Bunny Boo’ which is the same nickname as Sasha from BRATZ

This is the first time seeing multiple clips of the film and I’ve got to say it does not look anything like I thought it would be. I’m definitely going to check it out now

The whole smear test nod and gentiles 😂😂😂. Its like Margot Robbie was saying hey girls young and old get a smear test as it's super important.

Great movie! I really loved the message in this movie. some may think it was a doll boring movie but it really wasn't! margot robbie and ryan goslin did a amazing job and will ferrell and everyone ! i highly recommend it!😍❣👌

Fun clips 👏! My favorite was the depression Barbie because I can totally relate but even still I thought it was hilarious 😂!

The best thing about Barbie coming out on digital this week are the new RU-vid videos about the movie. I love it!!

"The opposite to patriarchy is not matriarchy but fraternity, yet I think it’s women who are going to have to break this spiral of power and find the trick of cooperation.” - Germaine Greer

For a fuller understanding of Push by Matchbox 20, the song is actually about a man being abused and underappreciated by a woman. So, Ken -- feeling underappreciated by Barbie -- relates to the lyrics of the song and, therefore, embraces it.

"The concepts of feminism and the patriarchy aren't exactly taught in school." Maybe, just maybe, they should be.

‘Hell yeah white savior Barbie!’😅😂

while mentioning movie references, the one that probably literally NO ONE got was the subtle boardroom decor nod to the rainbow tunnel leading to The Alchemist's chamber in Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain. also this video while mentioning the Matchbox 20 cover scene, forgot to mention Barbie in the convertible doing Carpool Karaoke to the 1989 Indigo Girl's hit Closer To Fine. almost the dichotomous opposite of Matchbox 20's Push.

i'm glad i watched this at home because I SCREAMED when i saw peaches & cream barbie and super-long-hair barbie, both of which i had as a kid (i had 2 SLH barbies and i cut the hair on one because i wanted to cut my own long hair short and was trying to make my case to my mom... it didn't end well). i had a pregnant midge too, but considering i had like 9 barbies and only one ken, that baby got passed around A LOT.

I visited my daughter and her daughters, recently. They insisted that we have a movie night, and they wanted to watch Barbie with me. I fell asleep. Several times. I woke up occasionally, looked at the scene playing and wondered, "WTH?" One of these days, I have got to watch it when I am awake. I'm pretty sure I'll like it.

When the back ground worker stated “I’m a guy with no power, does that make me a girl?” 🤦🏽‍♂️. It was funny , even though my boss is a woman which I have mad respect for her so I was laughing at the irony 😂

I should imagine that 'Monty Python's Holy Grail' is on Greta's list of movie inspirations.

Me being British I laughed when they used the BBC logo

I think I may have had the completely wrong idea about this film. Now I have to go see it.

By far the 2001: A Space Odyssey scene, especially when the little girls started bashing the baby dolls' heads on the ground.

My take on this film is that it's all in Gloria and Sasha's heads, normal Barbie represents their innocence and purity as children playing with their Barbie dolls. Ken is Gloria's fear of Sasha dating a nice guy who turns out to be a controlling jerk that views her as an object and how she went through the same thing. Barbie's crisis is a metaphor for growing up and growing older for Gloria and Sasha respectively. The end is both mother and daughter accepting the changes they're going through and the new experiences they will have.

Definitely Ken patriarchy line: " To be honest, when I found out the patriarchy wasn't about horses I lost interest" made me laugh out loud and say "Me too!" so loud my neighbor laughed. I immediately bought a T-shirt with that line on it.

Definitely Proust Barbie, and also "I don't control the railroads and the flow of commerce." Not exactly what I was expecting going in!

The most important part was Barbie chose to be just like us...mortal...and imperfect. Barbie picked to be us!

I wonder how many little girls learned about Patriarchy after watching The Barbie Movie with their Moms? My daughter had lots of questions!

Low key my favorite “adult”reference was the pregnant Barbie lol. I had that one when I was a kid and I LOVED it 🤣 I didn’t even understand at the time that it was weird or controversial, I just liked the little baby and the magnet belly you could put on and off

Depression Barbie and Proust Barbie both made me laugh out loud

Tbh, kids understand far more of that than this suggests. Death and character changes are things kids get. Agreed they won’t understand references but if you treat a 10 y old like they’re stupid and need everything explained to them, they won’t ever try to find explanations themselves.

I was under the impression that this WAS a film for adults, not children?

I'm 70 so I had all those "original" Barbies. I had no idea those other Barbies existed. My daughter was never into Barbies in the late 70s or early 80s. I had to see this movie to find out why the conservatives were so upset. As per usual, they read their own prejudices into the movie. They see boogeymen everywhere! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤔🤔🤔

I wish they would have found a way to reference Bild Lilli, the original fashion doll that Barbie was based on. THATS a crazy story in my opinion.

Depression Barbie was genius and spot on!

The flat feet scene was my favorite.

The bit when barbie tells the work man she and jen dont have genatals

Didn't recognize Rhea Perlman for a minute... then it clicked, and I was so relieved to see her. Didn't even know I missed her funny little face.

The big dance off soundstage is painted exactly that in the dream dance sequence in Singing In The Rain, and believe me, the kids get the 2001 reference.

Well I couldn’t help but smile when Matchbox 20 was played 😃 totally not expected and totally a nostalgia trip!

I just loved this movie! Definitely the best movie of the year and I look forward to seeing it take all the Oscars next year

The scene where Kens, lead by Ryan Gosling, charge from the seaside reminds me of "George Washington Crosses the Delaware River".

The guys "fake" riding horses may have been from "Monty Python's Holy Grail".

Hey MsMojo! Your Top 10 video on the adult-oriented moments in the Barbie movie was absolutely fantastic! 🎉👏 It's incredible how Barbie managed to earn a PG-13 rating while still being enjoyable for kids. Your countdown was spot-on, and I loved how you highlighted the clever casting choices that only adults would truly appreciate. 🎭🤩 It's fascinating to see how the filmmakers incorporated references and nods to pop culture that younger viewers might not catch. The segment on the discontinued Depression Barbie was both intriguing and thought-provoking. 💭👀 It's amazing how the movie tackled such a sensitive topic in a way that adults could understand and reflect upon while still maintaining a lighthearted tone for younger audiences. And of course, the adult-oriented jokes throughout the movie were hilarious! 😂🎭 It's incredible how the writers managed to add subtle humor that would fly over kids' heads but would leave adults chuckling. I particularly laughed out loud at [mention the specific joke that made you laugh the most]. 😄 Thank you for creating such an entertaining and insightful video, MsMojo! Keep up the great work, and I'm eagerly looking forward to your future content. 👍🎬

i didn't even notice the catholic and religious references!!! the bratz dolls????!??!? how clever. i missed that too lol that's so interesting. Barbie is one of the best films I've ever seen

I loved the movie! It was so witty, and surprisingly profound.

Surprising fact I'm unsurprised didn't get included in the movie: Ruth Handler didn't exactly "invent" Barbie, except as a brand name. She was travelling in Germany in the 1950s, and came across blonde-haired plastic dolls being displayed in the back windows of guys cars, almost like a 3D bumper sticker. This was Bild Lilli (or "Lilly" for short), a character from a popular if racy comic strip in a certain tabloid magazine. Lilli was an audacious, clever, saucy call girl, who frequently got herself into (and out of) a number of... funny situations whilst plying her trade. She was a huge hit with adult men, and at some point the comic creator contacted a local toy company (O&M Hausser) to produce these plastic Lilli dolls made to sell, basically as "merch" in the modern sense. German dudes displayed their Lilli dolls in their rear car windows to let each other know they were also fans. Which brings us back around to Ruth. She got the idea to make an American version of the popular doll and sell it to young girls instead of adult men tabloid subscribers. Admittedly a different marketing twist, we can grant her that much. Regardless, aside from the name change, the first generation Barbie was essentially a clone of the German Lilli doll, literally reproduced from a sample Ruth brought back with her from Germany.
