Creator / Sam & Mickey

"I might be 100% plastic, but at least I'm not a Bratz doll."

"Think you know Barbie? You've been LIED to."

— Trailer

Sam & Mickey, also known as Samantha Clutsom and Michelle Weston, are two Australian women who create adult-targeted Stop Motion comedies about Barbie and their other dolls. Their videos, the first of which debuted in 2010, use Comedic Sociopathy to contrast Mattel's perfect, angelic image of Barbie with that of a Broken Ace: A deceitful, alcoholic, sex-driven egomaniac struggling to raise four daugh-er, "little sisters", and maintain a stable romance with her airheaded on-again, off-again lover Ken, in between such jobs and activities as running a book club, providing "Love Triangle Therapy" to other toys, and headlining the reality show The Real Housewives of Toys 'R' Us.

From October 2012 — August 2021, Sam & Mickey released a new misadventure every month. From December 2017 — November 2021, they also produced several miniseries. In December '21, they began releasing fewer videos, on a more irregular basis.

Tropes related to recurring characters go on the Character Sheet.

---

Sam & Mickey videos contain examples of:

A-D

• Abusive Parents:
  • Barbie constantly browbeats and neglects her "little sisters".
  • Margaret and George Roberts also treat Barbie badly, and were revealed in December 2017 as even worse parents to Tutti and Todd.
• Accidental Proposal: "The Wedding" has Barbie misread an invitation to Ken's and Yasmin's wedding as one for Ken's and her own wedding, partly because her hand covers up Yasmin's name, and partly because she feels too drunk to realize it wouldn't make sense for her to get an invitation to her own wedding.
• All Part of the Show: In "Spooktacular," Barbie's long-lost sister, Tutti, interrupts the haunted prison scene to try and kill her. None of the visitors, or Yasmin, believe Barbie's frightened confessions that the intruder planned this all by herself.
• Alternate Timeline:
  • Barbie appears to visit several in "Back to the Future", when drinking a deadly-sounding concoction for inspiration on how to make her kitchen look futuristic.
  • "60", released during the month of the first Barbie doll's 60th anniversary, has three ghosts try to convince Barbie not to leave Mattel, by showing her how much her life would suck without them.
• Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Barbie and Ken for the "little sisters", because of how often they shamelessly humiliate themselves. In "Spring Fling", Barbie's scandalous actions and pranks get her banned from chaperoning any more school dances, much to Stacie's relief. The eponymous Spring Fling turns out so boring, Stacie and her friends actually wish Barbie would come crash it — and she does, after bribing the school council to lift her ban.
• Ambiguously Brown: Yasmin has a vague nationality, as Skipper points out in a Christmas Episode. For further ambiguity, "Baby Shower" reveals that even Bratz dolls who don't look Hispanic have Hispanic accents.
• An Arm and a Leg: "Surgery" has Barbie hospitalized after losing her right arm. A fight with the nurse over some booze costs Barbie her left arm as well.
• Annoying Younger Sibling:
  • Chelsea falls under this when the others tire of her long stories about her classmates.
  • Ken's self-centered, freeloading, sexist brother Tommy acts so obnoxious, that Barbie and Ken spent years hiding his existence from Barbie's "little sisters". Mattel even hired a cute (by Chelsea's standards) little boy, Toby Templeton, to pose as Ken's "baby brother Tommy" in commercials.
• Anthropomorphic Food: The Potato Heads consist entirely of talking potatoes. In particular, daughter Carbara is a real potato with a wig and glued-on facial features, in contrast with her plastic-bodied parents.
• Anything but That!:
  • Skipper says this trope word-for-word when Barbie threatens to hijack her Facebook timeline in "The Return".
  • In "The Attic", when the "little sisters" find Barbie's old Betamax tapes, Barbie hurriedly asks them to put them back and do something else instead. They don't listen.
• Art Evolution: The stop-motion animation has become a lot smoother over the years.
• Artistic License – Biology: In The Real Housewives of Toys 'R' Us episode #3, Bella mentions that as part of her own charitable contributions, she gave so much blood to the vampire bank that she's now anemic - a condition that doesn't actually result from blood donation.
• Astronomic Zoom: "Playtime", a video about Chelsea telling rather scandalous stories with her dolls, has a Please Subscribe to Our Channel sequence that begins with a closeup of tiny Sam & Mickey look-alike dolls, then zooms out to show Barbie-sized dolls of the duo holding them, followed by the real Sam & Mickey holding them.
• Auction: Barbie and Stacie hold one in "Yard Sale", to get rid of Barbie's old stuff. Yasmin collects the most valuable items, but only to help Barbie move them to her new bungalow.
• Autotune: "Sing" has Barbie try to enter Chelsea in a singing contest, with an autotune microphone. Unfortunately, the mike breaks prior to Chelsea's performance, since Barbie used it as a dildo.
• Award Show: The aptly-named "Awards Show" sends Barbie and Ken to the Doll Actor's Guild Awards, after Barbie gets a Best Actress nomination, for An Awesome Cupcake Sprinkle Frostbitten Unicorn Story. She loses to Queen Elsa, for Frozen 6: Return to Pride Rock.
• Babysitting Episode: "Babies" assigns Barbie with babysitting Krissy, as well as Yasmin's babies.
• Bad "Bad Acting":
  • "Horseback Mountain" and "Return to Horseback Mountain" comprise heavily of Barbie and Ken messing up new direct-to-video movies.
  • When "Homeless" has Barbie and a Riches to Rags Yasmin try to convince Belle to let Yasmin live in her castle, they give such a bad performance, that Belle tells them that they aren't very good at asking for help, or acting.
• Bad Date: Barbie's Book Club Part 3 has Barbie experience some unpleasant dates with sexist Gaston and anti-capitalist Gale.
• Bad People Abuse Animals: Barbie has a surprising record of killing animals as stated/shown in every other episode. In "Krissy's Christening", Barbie killed Chelsea's goat as a blood sacrifice and Chelsea goes on to list all the animals that Barbie has somehow killed; Barbie brings home a whale that's been harpooned during her meltdown in the episode of the same name; and Skipper finds a cat in the freezer that has actually been run over by Barbie's car during her New Year's party in "The Hangover", amongst other examples.
  Chelsea: Why does something die every time you get drunk, Barbie?
• Batman Gambit: "The Ken Cooking Show" has Barbie try to get the oft-cancelled Barbie Cooking Show back on the air by giving Ken a fake offer to host an uber-manly cooking show, then swooping in to take over when he messes up, exploiting Ken's idiocy and femininity.
• Beauty Contest: Barbie enlists Chelsea for one in the Toddlers & Tiaras parody "Toys and Tiaras". She loses to Katniss Everdeen, who volunteers to take Prim's place.
• Berserk Button: In "The Meltdown", Ken explains that the phrase "Dijon mustard" flies Barbie into a rage, because it reminds her of when a perfect dinner party with Midge and Alan went downhill due to a lack of the condiment (read: Barbie gets her handgun). "Tutti and Todd" adds that Barbie last saw the twins before they left to get some more, under dangerous circumstances.
• Big "NO!": Barbie delivers one in "The Future", after she discovers how exactly she looks as an old lady.
• Birthday Episode:
  • "Stacie's Mom" takes place on Stacie's birthday.
  • "Family Reunion" takes place on Krissy's birthday.
  • "Barbie's Birthday" takes place before, during, and after Barbie's birthday.
• Blah, Blah, Blah: "Krissy's Christening" has the congregation engage in pre-ceremonial small talk that sounds like this.
• Bowdlerise: "Bath" has Yasmin and Chelsea sing a sanitized version of Cardi B's "WAP," retitled "Wet and Splashy," which Yasmin explains she heard from Kidz Bop.
  Barbie: That's not even the right acronym!
• Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: The first Valentine's Day Episode kicks off the Running Gag of Barbie maliciously misnaming Chelsea^note though it seems like innocent Accidental Misnaming in this early video; Barbie first calls her, "Kelly", then corrects herself with, "Chelsea", but soon afterwards blends both of them into, "Kelsey".
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: Sometimes the dolls acknowledge living in web videos. "60" literally does this, when Barbie complains that her living room doesn't have a fourth wall, giving the dolls a look at the real Sam & Mickey filming them.
• Brick Joke: Early into "The Unexpected Hiatus", Skipper theorizes that Barbie went missing after a man tricked her into joining a cult. Barbie eventually confirms this, prompting Skipper to boast that she called it.
• Broken Aesop: In-Universe. In "Career Girl", Barbie gives Kelly's class a speech that appears to promote hard work, as she recalls achieving each of her dream jobs by studying hard (and buying the appropriate outfits). However, the teacher points out that in order for Barbie to have so many jobs, she must not work each one for very long.
• Burger Fool: Skipper gets a job at McBurgers, in the video with the same name, a fast food restaurant with a manager who doesn't really seem to care about customers' health (French fries come in three portion sizes: Large, Extra Large, and Jumbo. The lattermost comes with 17x as many fries as an Extra Large portion, and a diabetes pamphlet of unspecified usefulness.) or work ethics (at the end, Skipper bribes the manager into letting her stay with a briefcase full of $400 thousand, even after Barbie and Ken cause a scene.).
• But Not Too Gay: Played with. Kevin and Randy are the only prominent gay couple in the show, but they have yet to be seen being intimate with each other like their straight neighbors, Barbie and Ken. Although, considering that the latter couple both have issues keeping their sex lives private, the comparison might not be fair. The only other neighbors that are a straight couple, Lisa and Leon, are just as modest with each other when they're onscreen.
• Camping Episode: "Glamping" has Barbie and her "little sisters" go on a surprisingly spooky camping trip for the Fourth of July.
• Celeb Crush: Stacie has one on Justin Bieber, to the extent than in "Stacie's Mom", Barbie bribes him to surprise Stacie at the party.
• Characterization Marches On: In the early videos, Ken and Yasmin seem like jerks to Barbie, until they Took a Level in Dumbass.
• Charity Motivation Song: The Real Housewives of Toys 'R' Us episode #3 has Barbie and Yasmin try to produce a song sponsoring 11 different charities.
• Chastity Couple: Skipper formed one with her boyfriend, Anslem, much to Barbie's confusion. Skipper eventually tries to subvert this in "Virginity", by hinting to Anslem that she's Ready for Lovemaking. With help from Barbie, she successfully convinces him to go to bed with her.
• Christmas Episode:
  • "Christmas" naturally provides Sam & Mickey's first example.
  • "Home Alone" started a chain of one new Christmas-related episode every December.
  • "Stranded" provides an example lacking in traditional Christmas imagery.
  • "Tutti and Todd" features a Barbie family reunion in tacky sweaters.
  • A Memoirs of a Skipper video released on Christmas Eve has her and Anslem perform a grim-sounding Christmas carol.
  • "A Very Roberts Christmas Special" goes backstage at Barbie hosting a contractually-obligated Christmas Special with her family and friends.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: "Call Me...Maybe?" has Barbie continually pester Ken through his voicemail regarding a rumor of him having a fling with some Disney Princesses. Unfortunately, the viewer never receives a confirmation or denial of this rumor, as Mr. Potato Head somehow receives all of Barbie's messages instead.
• Clumsy Copyright Censorship: "The Wedding" disappeared after a claim on its usage of Hall and Oates' "You Make My Dreams", necessitating Sam & Mickey to replace the song with audio of Mickey singing a parody.
• Compressed Abstinence: "40 Days" has Barbie and three of the "little sisters" each try to give up something they like for Lent — sex, alcohol, and cussing for Barbie, crayons for Chelsea, desserts for Stacie, and hipster clothing for Skipper^note who must instead wear an outfit of Barbie's choice for each Lenten day — with Barbie offering a $1,000 Best Buy gift card to the "team" (Barbie vs. Skipper, Stacie, and Chelsea) that can withhold from the interests for the longest amount of time. They all end up having so much trouble completely resisting temptation, that they end up splitting the gift card four ways.
• Content Warnings: The "A Sam & Mickey Film" card has a Parental Advisory Warning on the bottom.
• Continuity Nod:
  • The Pineapple Store has Sam & Mickey's first video, "Sold Separately", playing on a laptop on the desk.
  • "Flying High" shows the channel trailer as an in-flight movie.
• Cooking Show: Barbie makes a few attempts to launch one, but "questionable content" keeps getting it cancelled.
• Couch Gag: Each episode of White Wines With Margaret and Millicent has the hosts deliver different short complaints at the beginning.
• "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot:
  • In "Barbie's Birthday", after Barbie forbids Anslem from visiting their house, Skipper, Stacie, and Chelsea carry out some convoluted revenge on her. In The Stinger, Skipper and Anslem regain Barbie's permission for him to come over, after Skipper falsely boasts that she took Barbie's advice to have sex more often. As the couple heads to Skipper's room, they admit that they should have told her that earlier.
  • In "Furniture Shopping", Yasmin tries to help Barbie find a new bed frame at the Swedish furniture store Blorg, but the women keep losing their way. When they finally reach the beds, Yasmin reports that the store has run out of the one Barbie wants. Skipper finds the bed in stock at Blorg's online store — which also offers same-day delivery and free assembly — so Barbie angrily pummels Yasmin for wasting her time.
  • Parent/Teacher Meeting episode #3 begins with Barbie blaming the teacher for some collisions Barbie made while drunk-driving to the school, and ends with Barbie pointing out that the teacher could've saved some time and trouble by emailing her the news.
• Creator Cameo: Dolls that resemble and sound like Sam & Mickey sometimes appear as extras.
• Creator's Culture Carryover: While Sam and Mickey is usually flawless with portraying various American accents, they sometimes use Australian terms to refer to certain things, such as "aubergine" for "eggplant", calling the flashlight on the smartphone a "torch" in one episode, Skipper referring to a bag of chips as "crisps", the word "cilantro" being pronounced with a soft a (as in apple), just to name a few.
• Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: Love Triangle Therapy episode #2 has Yasmin give a surprisingly gruesome answer when Barbie asks what she'd do, hypothetically, if she learned about Ken having an affair with another woman. Yasmin threatens to cut off that woman's hands, then sew her vagina shut with an un-sterilized needle and thread.
• Cutlery Escape Aid: In "Spooktacular," Tutti explains that she broke out of jail by using a ladle to dig a tunnel.
• Deadpan Snarker: Barbie, Skipper, and Chelsea have sarcastic senses of humor.
• Delivery Stork: Dreamhouse Dinners episode #3 plays with this; when Chelsea asks Ken and Skipper if they know where babies come from, they improvise a story about a couple ordering babies online, but Ken claims "the mailman" delivers them. Afterwards, Chelsea admits that she already knew that babies come from sex, but didn't know if Ken and Skipper knew.
• Demonic Possession: Barbie hallucinates in "Krissy's Christening" that the baby becomes possessed by Satan.
• Department of Child Disservices: Apparently Child Services hasn't taken Barbie's "little sisters" away only because Barbie is Child Services. An actual Child Services agent visits Barbie's house in "Babysitters", but gets easily conned against splitting up her family.
• Did I Mention It's Christmas?: "Stranded" has Barbie take her "little sisters" to the beach for Christmas, but only the December release date and one line of Skipper's dialogue acknowledge the holiday.
• Did You Die?: While in prison during "Flying High", Barbie is asked this at one point by one of her cellmates.
  Rebecca: Did the passengers all gang up and kill you?
  Barbie: See, now you're just being silly.
• Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: Barbie's Book Club Part 3 begins with Ghoulia moaning the theme song, which Belle doesn't recognize.
• The Dog Bites Back: Yasmin does this to Barbie when calling her out and getting into a physical fight with Barbie over the charity video.
• "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune:
  • Barbie sings the Barbie's Book Club theme, an "I Am Great!" Song, herself.
    "My name's Barbie! I have a book club!
    I'm so pretty! I have a book club!
    Book club!"
  • Ken sings the themes to Kenneth Carson's Fashion Channel and Kenneth Carson's Sporting Channel himself.
  • Barbie sings the theme to Barbie's Unpopular Opinions herself.
• Double Date: The aptly-named "Double Date" has Barbie and Ken do this with an old frenemy of Barbie's, Kate McClay, and her boyfriend, Anthony, while trying to act Happily Married.
• Double Take: In "Stacie's Mom", Stacie does this when Justin Bieber comes over, and then she faints.
• Downer Ending:
  • "Tinka and Todd". Barbie still doesn't know what happened to Todd, hates the deceptive Margaret more than ever, and deducts a "family discount" from Tinka's paycheck. The stinger confirms for the viewers that Todd survived, and that Barbie would've also learned this if either he spoke with a smarter member of the search party than Ken, or if Todd's identically-named boyfriend (the only Todd whom Barbie spoke with in person in the video) introduced him to her.
  • "The Lost Christmas". Stacie still refuses to return to Fake Malibu, and her family fails to have a conventionally merry Christmas without her.
• Dreadful Musician: Barbie and Chelsea actually can't sing that well.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: "Sing" has Stacie become frustrated that Barbie didn't make her enter the singing contest, since she can sing much better than Chelsea can. After Chelsea's autotune microphone breaks, Stacie sings in her place, and wins first place. However, Chelsea gets all the credit, even in their own family.

E-J

• Early-Installment Weirdness:
  • The first video, "Sold Separately", bears uncensored swears, a different voice actor for Ken, and a voice for Barbie that doesn't match her current one until roughly the halfway point.
  • Chelsea's voice wasn't nearly as vacant-sounding as it is now and Skipper's voice was slightly deeper. Also, while Stacie was more of a typical pre-teen in earlier videos, Chelsea (then named Kelly) was much more friendlier and childlike.
  • The show really used to have it in for fellow YouTube channel My Froggy Stuff by bringing in a doll that looked like the doll used in her videos just so she would be mocked or attacked by Barbie. Thankfully, this gradually tapered off.
• Easily Forgiven: In spite of Ken attacking and humiliating "Roman Duckling" at the Barbie movie premiere, he apparently forgave him, with Ken even mentioning that they're going to hang out at Dave & Buster's later in the week.
• Edible Theme Naming:
  • Carbara's name combines "Carb" and "Barbara," since potatoes contain a lot of starch.
  • When Chelsea appears on the Barbie Cooking Show episode about pumpkins, she shares some gossip about a classmate named after the vegetable.
• Egopolis: At the end of "The Barbie Movie," Barbie (2023) inspires Barbie to propose renaming the county to, "Barbieland."
• Embarrassing Old Photo: "The Attic" has Barbie's old home Betamax videos.
• Episode on a Plane: "Flying High" sends Barbie, her "little sisters", Ken, and Yasmin on an airplane flight to Vancouver, with Barbie constantly annoying the other passengers.
• Erotic Eating: "16 and Pregnant" has Barbie serve penis-shaped lollipops and vagina-like cupcakes at Yasmin's baby's gender reveal party, much to Yasmin's disgust.
• Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: In-universe, Barbie's Book Club Part 1 has Barbie, Belle, and Katniss give rather insightful interpretations of this 1960s short story.
• Everyone Is Related: "Family Reunion" documents a period when all the main female characters seem related to each other. George reveals that a month earlier, he married a Bratz doll named Charo. Yasmin identifies Charo as her mama, which makes Yasmin Barbie's stepsister (and the "little sisters"' step-aunt), much to Barbie's displeasure. As revenge for uniting their families without telling them right away, Barbie and Yasmin work together to break up George and Charo.
• Evil Cripple: Becky St. Clair, who is introduced in "Becky", is noted to be the only one who can make Barbie feel bad about herself which is demonstrated several times in her debut episode. Interestingly, the fact that she's wheelchair-bound is rarely touched upon, save for Becky threatening to run over on one of her "sisters'" toes with her wheels.
• Evil Sounds Deep: In "Krissy's Christening", the possessed Krissy makes low-toned threats to punish Barbie for her sins.
• Evolving Credits: "Stranded" results in a new line for Yasmin in the intro to The Real Housewives of Toys 'R' Us.
  (episodes #1-3) Glamour has a taste for me, and I has a taste for Kenny.
  (episode 4) I've still got a taste for glamour, not so much a taste for Kenny.
• Exorcist Head: In "Krissy's Christening", Barbie hallucinates a possessed Krissy turning her head around.
• Exploding Closet: "Yard Sale" has Stacie open the "stuff cupboard" in Barbie's room, then get covered in old clothes.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: In "The Future", adult Skipper has blonde hair, since she apparently stops darkening it after outgrowing her hipster phase.
• Failure Gambit: "Return to Horseback Mountain" has Barbie and Ken try to make their next contractually-obligated movie so bad, that Mattel will deem it unworthy of a time-consuming, unenjoyable press tour. Unfortunately, Mattel's desire to attract viewers who found Horseback Mountain So Bad, It's Good In-Universe means that director Lisa Felicia will accept the couple's worst-performed and cheesiest-written takes.
• Failure Montage: Barbie cannot do things for herself, especially when it comes to anything Christmas-related:
  • In "Home Alone", she first fails at putting up the tree, then tries to make both cookies and eggnog (which she also can't do due to having no idea what a "tsp" is), no one wants to hang out with her due to either spending it with their spouse, disliking/being disliked by her or being otherwise unavailable and can't even properly draw a bath.
  • In "The Lost Christmas", it appears that the whole family is incompetent at decorating unless Stacie is there. Skipper can't cook, Chelsea isn't tall enough to properly decorate the tree, Yasmin is left stranded at the mall and Ken is so bad at wrapping gifts, he ends up wrapping himself in paper.
• Fake Memories: In "Spring Fling", Barbie seems to recall various '70s and '80s movies, with pivotal dance parties, as part of her actual life.
• Family Relationship Switcheroo: Sam & Mickey portray Skipper, Stacie, Chelsea, and Krissy as illegitimate daughters of Barbie and Ken, though Barbie tries to cover this up by referring to them as her little sisters.
• Family Theme Naming: Yasmin's sisters include Jasmine, Tasmin, and Ohio.
• Fan-Preferred Couple: invoked When Margaret watches The Sound of Music in "The Babysitters", she comments that Captain Von Trapp and Baroness Schraeder "...make a lovely pair", and Barbie's Aunt Millicent can't believe that the Captain would end up marrying Maria instead.
• Fantastic Racism:
  • "Dollist" toys look at Bratz dolls with distain.
  • Barbie's Childhood Episode 1 has Margaret angrily throwing "fish folk" Ariel out of her home.
  • "Delivery" has the nurse, Sinead, flat out admit that Bratz doll's births are disgusting due to the dynamics of their bodies.
  • "Spooktacular" has Ghoulia accuse Barbie's production of perpetuating negative stereotypes of the undead and vampires.
• Fictional Board Game: "Board Game Night" has Barbie play Cards Against Life and The Game of Living with Ken and the "little sisters"; the games they almost choose instead of the latter also sound suspiciously similar to ones sold by Hasbro.
• Flashback Effects: Flashbacks have a wavy transition, and flashbacks to The '50s or The '60s have a faded Decade-Themed Filter and/or an abundance of print flaws.
• Flipping the Bird: "16 and Pregnant" has Yasmin give the following feedback on the bow and arrow cupcake toppers Barbie prepares for the gender reveal party:
  Yasmin: (raises left hand in Barbie's face) I got an arrow for you right here. This joke doesn't work, because I can't move my fingers, but if I could... do you understand?
• Flush the Evidence: Referenced in "Flying High":
  Curly Hair Jail Girl: So you killed your ex in the bathroom, cut up his body into little pieces, flushing them down the toilet?
  Barbie: No, but I did do something far more sinister with him.
• Forced Creativity: Barbie hates starring in Direct to Video movies — such as the Horseback Mountain series — and only does so because her contract with Mattel requires it.
• Forced Meme: "Quarantine" has Stacie combine "fake" and "vacation" into "facation," a precursor of the term Unplanned Staycation. Chelsea and Barbie think it sounds so cheesy, that they continue to use the phrase "fake vacation" in full.
• Foreshadowing: For "Delivery":
  • "Games Night" begins with Yasmin complaining that her pregnant belly has grown much larger than expected for six months. It turns out she has twins.
  • In "16 and Pregnant", Tommy takes the white confetti as a sign that he'll have a white baby, Comically Missing the Point of a gender reveal party. He and Yasmin have one white daughter, and one brown daughter.
• Funny Background Event: As a few examples:
  • The first Valentine's Day Episode has Krissy play around in the sink, then climb out and crawl into an electric mixer, which spins her around before she falls out.
  • "The Pineapple Store" has some signs give visitors some unhelpful or obvious tips on maintaining their electronics.
  • "Toddlers and Tiaras" has Katniss trying to stab Carbara with her arrow, pressumably to eat her.
• G-Rated Drug: Barbie's Childhood episode #3 delves into young Barbie's habits of drinking too much juice.
• Gagging on Your Words: When Barbie tries to convince Yasmin to start dating Tommy, she just barely manages to tell them anything nice about each other.
  Tommy, this is our dear fr—(gags) I'm struggling with the words today!
• Game Changer: After three years of suggesting that Barbie and Ken have no desire at all to get back together, "The Breakup" reveals a snag in the moment their romance ended. When Ken said something to Barbie over the phone about breaking up, he actually meant the signal was breaking up, since Barbie's plane hadn't landed yet. Barbie takes this to mean they never really broke up, planting the seeds for them to start an affair only two months later.
• The Ghost: Barbie has mentioned Teresa and Christie a few times, but Sam & Mickey have yet to put them in any of their videos, despite Mattel spending decades portraying Teresa as Barbie's best friend. "Horseback Mountain" has Barbie explain that she's not really friends with Teresa and Christie; the three of them just act like such in the movies.
• Ghost Story:
  • Stacie tells one at the beginning of "Glamping".
  • The Spooky Stories miniseries has several dolls share some.
• Gilligan Cut: The videos seem prone to showing Barbie do something she says she won't.
• Gone Horribly Wrong: The Crafting With Stacie miniseries has Stacie attempt to teach how to make various items, ranging from a friendship bracelet to a birdhouse. Every project gets destroyed in the end, sometimes because she makes a fatal error, other times because someone else wrecks it. She has relatively better luck in Isolation Crafting With Stacie, in which two of her five crafts remain intact by the end (one because Stacie convinces Skipper to help make it).
• Good Cop/Bad Cop: "Tutti and Todd" puts Skipper and Chelsea into these roles, as they try to accuse a relative of killing the twins.
• Good Parents: Ken, for all of his ditziness, is a great dad to his daughters. Barbie even lampshades this in "Back to the Future" when she believes that Skipper's "gross" destined future of becoming a loving and happy wife to Anslem and mother to their four children is his fault due to his "cleaning up my messes and providing a stable environment". Ken's own parents are this too, especially in stark contrast to Barbie's own.
• Good-Times Montage: "New Year's Eve" mostly consists of a montage of Barbie and Ken enjoying a night of singing karaoke and getting drunk.
• Gratuitous Princess: Among other examples, the Barbie's Childhood miniseries has Disney Princess babies show up Once an Episode.
• Grew a Spine; Lampshaded in "The Lost Christmas" by Stacie; after being abandoned by Barbie in New Zealand, she ends up both enjoying herself and manages to tell off Barbie citing how she "found her spine" in the country and isn't taking her shit lying down anymore. Barbie is left speechless.
• Group Hug: "Barbie's Mother" has Barbie, Ken, Stacie, and Chelsea share one after standing up to and shooing away Margaret.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Barbie can get angered pretty easily, as does her mother Margaret and her Aunt Millicent.
• Halloween Cosplay:
  • Stacie often dresses as Tinkerbell for Halloween.
  • In the first Halloween Episode, Yasmin dresses as Barbie, though Barbie mistakes her for several other personalities before she puts on her mask. Additionally, Belle and Snow White dress as each other.

  • The Barbie Cooking Show (Halloween Edition) has Skipper and Yasmin dress as Lani McKenzie and Dora the Explorer, respectively.
• Hard-Work Montage:
  • "The Wedding" and "Barbie's Birthday" each have one, accompanied by a parody of "You Make My Dreams Come True". (The second parody does end by asking the viewers if they think the song sounds familiar.)
  • Subverted in "Yard Sale": Ken expects Skipper or Stacie to break into one while cleaning Barbie's room, and even starts singing "You Make My Dreams Come True". However, Barbie shuts him up, then the picture wipes to after Stacie finishes cleaning.
• Heroic BSoD: In "Prom", Skipper breaks down crying after a series of events leaves her without a date. Barbie consoles her with a hug, and a promise that if Skipper fails to find a steady boyfriend, then Barbie can pay someone to love her.
• Hey, Let's Put on a Show: The Real Housewives of Toys 'R' Us episode #4 has Yasmin direct a performance of Mary Poppins, to raise money for the Dolls Without Limbs charity. The rest of the Housewives, Ken, and some of their friends and relatives also join the cast and crew.
• Hidden in Plain Sight: Barbie and Yasmin spend "The Hangover" searching for Ken, who was last seen at a New Year's Eve party three nights earlier. After gathering clues from all over Malibu, they find him lying face-down in Barbie's living room, still wearing his Cinderella costume from "Disney-themed night" at the club.
• Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Applies to Barbie's "little sisters", and Barbie herself.
  Barbie: Mom, you can't just throw babies!
  Margaret: Yes, you can! I used to throw you all the time, and you turned out fine-On Second Thought, perhaps you're right.
• Homemade Sweater from Hell: "Tutti and Todd" has Ken apparently knit enough for the whole family.

  • The miniseries Barbie's Failed Screen Tests and Barbie's Failed Broadway Auditions share some more of Barbie's botched auditions for different roles.
• How We Got Here: "Road Rage" begins with Skipper, Barbie, and Chelsea stuck in traffic, before backtracking to show how they got stuck there, and why Barbie has a black eye.
• I Warned You: "Stranded" has Barbie and Ken ask each other to share their most traumatic memories, during a game of Truth or Dare. She tries to warn him that her choice^note the last time she saw Tutti and Todd will scare him, but he keeps begging to hear it. After she finally starts recalling it, wipe to Ken throwing up into the sea, and Barbie reminding him, "I told you it's bad."
• Idiot Ball: Barbie, Ken, and Yasmin all have their fair share of ditzy/naive moments, some more often than others.
• Ignored Epiphany:
  • Barbie has either a dream or a vision in "The Future" of her bad parenting dooming Stacie, Chelsea, and Krissy to unpleasant adulthoods.^note Specifically, Stacie becomes a Corrupt Corporate Executive, Chelsea becomes an unwed mother, and Krissy develops Childhood Brain Damage.

• Loophole Abuse: In "Career Girl", Barbie reminds Ken that both of them visiting Kelly's class at once defies orders for them to stay at least 100 feet apart. Ken points out that no one explained to him the size of the feet. (This video seems to predate Ken becoming a total ditz.)
• Lost at Sea: Barbie and Ken experience this in "Stranded". On a fishing trip, the boat's motor dies, then the oar breaks when Barbie tries to row the boat to shore. Barbie's "little sisters" eventually find the couple, after which Skipper explains that the shore was only 10 feet away.

• Offscreen Breakup: "Stranded" reveals that Ken and Yasmin became just friends, opening the possibility of him and Barbie to get back together again.
• One I Prepared Earlier:
  • The Barbie Cooking Show spoofs this in the episode about roast turkey; Barbie states that she bought one turkey earlier, which remains cold and raw when she pulls it out, then tries to roast it on the air, even though she knows that it takes hours (the seven-minute episode consequently contains several cuts).

  • According to "Sex Tape", Barbie has a secret cupboard labeled, "Secret Cupboard". Plus, when Barbie finally reveals to Yasmin that she and Ken are having an affair, Yasmin admits that she already knew, because of their tendency to have sex while she's still in the room. Barbie claims that she and Ken tried to do it subtly, but Yasmin tells her that she doesn't do a very good job at subtlety.

  • Barbie delivers one at the beginning of the first Halloween Episode.
    ...and then the duck said, "Put it on my bill!"
  • Alan delivers one in a flashback in "The Meltdown".
    ...and then the alligator said, "Make it snappy!"

P-S

• Padding: Invoked whenever a miniseries has a theme song that sounds really repetitive, takes up almost all of each episode, and briefly plays again at the end of each episode.
• Parental Favoritism: Downplayed. Barbie admits that she "doesn't mind" Chelsea and calls her the best looking "little sister" she has. However, that still doesn't stop her from getting her name wrong (purposely, just to mess with her), sending her out into traffic with the threat of throwing her dolls in a blender and using the remains for her margaritas or accuse her of being a drama queen when she has an allergic reaction on her cooking show.
• Pass the Popcorn: In "The Meltdown", Skipper does this while watching Barbie's, well, meltdown. Then she does it with a bag of crisps (chips).
• Perpetual Expression: Since Sam & Mickey rarely change their dolls' expressions, each character becomes either a Perpetual Smiler or The Stoic.
• Piss-Take Rap: The Charity Motivation Song that Barbie and Yasmin rap in The Real Housewives of Toys 'R' Us episode #3, "A Rap For A Cause", amounts to Yasmin spouting random societal issues to a generic electronic beat^note "Lewis and Dekalb" by Kevin MacLeod. When they subject the other Housewives to the video, Mrs. Potato Head purposely loses her ears during the second verse, and Bella declares, "This is the whitest thing I've ever heard, and that's coming from me."

  Aunt Millicent: I'm not dead, Margaret!

• Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
  • In "The Future", Barbie slips and hits her head on the kitchen floor which knocked her unconscious for several minutes, but she then gets up seemingly fine and tells the girls about their future lives. However, in the sequel episode "Back to the Future", it's revealed that in between the time of her getting up from hitting her head and now, that she ended up seriously injured with seizures and eventually lapsed into a three-week coma.
  • Speaking of "Back to the Future", Barbie makes a concoction of various drinks that will help her "time travel" back to what she saw in the previous episode consisting of fruit juices, alcohol and plenty of drugs and cleaning products.
