'Barbie' Slogans Inspire Memes Of Male Celebs Who Don't Deserve Their Female Partners

'Barbie' Slogans Inspire Memes Of Male Celebs Who Don't Deserve Their Female Partners
Universal Pictures

The upcoming movie's 'Barbie is everything' and 'he's just Ken' slogans have been aptly applied to couples, both real and fictional.

So if you don't know, there's a Barbie movie coming out this summer directed by Greta Gerwig.

The trailer dropped last week.


In the the trailer, it looks like most of the women are Barbie and most of the men are Ken.

This might lead to confusion, but the posters for the movie clear it up. Some Barbies are presidents, or doctors or otherwise achieving greatness.

And Ken?

Well...

The poster for the original Barbie—presumptively the main character and played by Margot Robbie—is "everything"

But then, hilariously, there was the poster for Ryan Gosling's Ken.

In contrast to the possibilities for Barbie, Ken is...just Ken.

This was objectively hilarious and quite true about Barbie's magnificence compared to Ken.

It quickly turned into a meme, with people posting iconic couples where the woman in the couple is clearly the more successful and/or interesting one and the man is just sort of...there.

First there were the other fictional couples.




People hopped on the trend for elements from the newest installment of The Mandalorian.

Someone even threw in a not-couple from another one of Gerwig's films, Little Women.

Then some real-world celebrities and personalities.



Some even ventured into tthe royalty realm.

Taking the meme to the extreme, it moved to not just being about people.

This person contrasted Disney World parks.

The Barbie movie will probably be a meme generating machine, if this is what one trailer and a couple of posters do to the internet.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
