He's Ken's buddy!
WARNING: Spoilers Off applies to Awesome Moments pages per wiki policy. All spoilers will be unmarked.- One of the onlookers in the real world who were staring at Barbie and Ken decided that it was a good idea to slap Barbie in her backside. The normally kind-hearted Barbie did not hesitate even for a moment to punch the assailant in the face with enough force to knock him out.
- A villainous example comes with Ken's coup d'état. The new Ken regime required only a relatively short span of time to completely restructure the landscape and society of Barbieland into its own image. Granted, it's pointed out that Barbieland had taken matriarchy for granted for so long that it never developed any defense against patriarchy, but even so, Beach Ken worked fast.
- The Barbies' counteroffensive works so well the Kens didn't see even see it coming. They slowly converted the brainwashed Barbies back to their side without any of the Kens noticing, built up the Kens' egos, turned them against each other, and grabbed power back while the Kens were fighting each other.Beach Ken: Is it just my imagination or did these Mojo Dojo Casa Houses just get dreamier?
President Barbie: That's because they're Dreamhouses, mother***! That's right, we reinstated the Barbieland constitution to what it should be, and restored all the Barbie's brains and autonomy... and we seriously disinfected those houses. - Allan single-handedly fights off a whole group of Kens to try and clear a path for Gloria and Sasha to get back the Real World. After choking out one Ken with a shovel, the others start to make another move toward Allan, but when he asks if they want more, they back off.
- Sasha jumps behind the wheel of the car right before declaring that they gotta go back.Gloria: Wait, you don't have a license!
Sasha: Well this car doesn't have an engine! - Gloria's emphatic speech over the standards women have to deal with in the real world.
Bonus points that it is her response to Stereotypical Barbie claiming she's not good enough for anything and unbrainwashes Writer Barbie, revealing the answer on how they defeat Beach Ken. Furthermore, this also snaps Stereotypical Barbie out of her funk and finally orchestrates their counteroffensive against the Kens.Gloria: It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful and so smart... and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we always have to be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong. We have to be thin, but not too thin and you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also, you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You gotta be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother, but "don't talk about your kids all the damn time!". You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining. You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood. But always stand out and always be very grateful, but never forget the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It's too hard! It's too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault! I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing women... then I don't even know.
