We Can't Get Kenough of This Movie - Barbie First Time Watching | Reaction (ReUploaded)

[@pReviewd]

Hey Peaches! We reuploaded our reaction to Barbie because the previous version got blocked, and unblocked.....🤔To avoid any future issues with this video we decided to reedit the video so it , hopefully, wouldn't happen again. If you watched the first version of the video thank you, if you haven't watched it, well then you're in for a really fun ride. Thank you for engaging with this video and feeding the algorithm, we do appreciate it. Y'all are the best!

[@AG-co5iu]

Cha' boys still doing the best they Ken. ❤

[@foulrot]

Fine, I'll watch for the third time, but I'll only do this 2 or 3 more times

[@fiberterian]

Engaging for the algorithm!

[@jpwphoenix1701]

Thanks for reuploading it. I was about halfway through the last video when it got blocked.

[@SakuraPixie]

Watched and now rewatch 🎉

[@qm7497]

I unexpectedly cried so much the first time I saw this in the theater and so I saw it again a few says later. After the credits I heard a little voice behind me say, "mommy what's a gynecologist?"

[@annanas8162]

That's sweet :) I think they put that in not just for the joke, but to encourage more women to actually go to their gynecologist! It's important and should not be embarraring or avoided (like many women feel and do).

[@Techno963]

A second upload of the Barbie reaction? Sublime!!!

[@BlackCandyBandMusic]

Best comment!🎉

[@IceMetalPunk]

I love how that was just a Ryan Gosling ad lib, too 😂

[@JonathanMartinez-ei4up]

I think it will always bring a smile to my face, the symmetry of the Barbie movie & Oppenheimer being paired as a double feature. They are the two most extreme incarnations of political/social commentary, and they strangely complimented each other like a sweet and savory pairing.

[@Brazbit]

I love that Ken's mug shot said "AND KEN" for his name.

[@TheRavenfish9]

XD I didn't even catch that.

[@meteorplum]

Arguably, there was not much inclusivity in the Kens of the Mattel canon. Many of the Barbies in the movie are taken directly from the toy line, and extending that to Barbies of different sizes makes sense in the movie's canon of Barbie having overcome the patriarchy that's in the real world. Keeping the movie Kens to the stereotypes of the toy accentuates the relatively little thought real Mattel gave to expanding Ken's reach, and again arguably points up the idea that all those Barbies that had jobs before actual women got them in the real world meant that Mattel was interested in selling the idea of women being accomplished in order to sell more toys, rather than trying to put women and girls on equal cultural footing with men and boys.

[@slysloth96]

The only other reaction I'd watched of Barbie was one of my favorite channels of all time and it had been a let down because they'd missed so many of the messages that Barbie held. Your reaction was so refreshing!!! You guys really listened and took in what was happening and I'm so here for it. I've watched a few of your reactions before, but this one made me check to see if I was subscribed yet (and I wasn't, so that is now fixed!)

[@pReviewd]

You fixed it, hurray!

[@pompe221]

"I'm sad and mushy and complicated." "And I'm Ken." Thanks, I love it when I laugh myself into a painful coughing jag. I love this movie. It's funny, it's stylized, it's touching, and it's super quotable. It is very much Baby's First Feminism but everyone's got to start somewhere.

[@jasonmarbach]

Adam learning to say “liminal” is the unsung hero arc of this reaction ❤️

[@rebeccarobson4940]

Also the acknowledgment of the backrooms

[@rebeccarobson4940]

You are a ken!!!

[@felixmurley-anderson5620]

I missed the first upload but I’m glad I caught the second one. It’s an absolute testament to how having a creative team who understands the assignment (and also has the trust of the studio) can take the most absurd concept and make something amazing (looking at you, Lego Movie). I can absolutely understand how the toxic manosphere saw this as an attack on them, because a lot of them can’t seperate criticism of the institution of patriarchy from personal attacked on the way they act. But hey, I can imagine a lot of hate-watching dollars went into the literal billions of dollars it made at the box office! Oh, and because I have to dust off my Writing degree occasionally, I’d put the film more in ‘magic realism’, like Being John Malkovich, or Stranger Than Fiction (a super underrated Will Ferrell joint).

[@shanecampbell7423]

I beached off the first upload, and by God I'll beach off to this one as well!

[@mitchelsmith5643]

You sweet sweet boys are absolutely Kenough!!!

[@amybaker3551]

Re: Body shape inclusivity of Kens. They aren't allowed to be anything but perfect, while the opposite can be accepted no matter their looks. I believe that is deliberate.

[@jackstutz2860]

exactly this. They can't be anything but perfect. I believe the Kens exist in this movie because the creators knew that guys watching would be drawn to their story. anytime i find someone who has a problem with how the Kens are treated or made to act or feel forced to behave, im always like.."ok good, now imagine they were women in the real world..." i have watched minds melt saying that

[@katie8881]

America Ferrera's speech really spoke to me. I'm 30 so I've experienced everything she's talking about but I've also had the privilege of being exposed to really nuanced feminist ideas in my adult life (since college, really). It took education, exposing myself to many narratives, uncomfortable introspection, and a willingness to accept both my suffering and my complicity in toxic power structures in order to dispel a lot of my internalized misogyny and ignorance. It's not easy to accept the broken state of the world because it also comes with the realization that it won't be fixed in your lifetime. It can make you feel helpless. But I at least understand my feelings and am empowered to act with agency in the system I exist within. What spoke to me most about her speech, however, and really what made me cry, was thinking about my mother and grandmas. A lot of my compulsion to be accommodating (even now) came from my mom because I watched her my whole childhood tying herself in knots to be all of the things America Ferrera said. She's SO hard on herself. My mom and her female friends are responsible for all the thanksgiving responsibilities so inevitably, something minor always slips through the cracks. Honestly, never a big deal. But my mom will fixate on apologizing over and over. She can't help but verbally self-flagellate, calling herself all kinds of names. The thanksgiving before last, my sister secretly filmed this and showed it to my mom the next day. She was honestly so shocked to see herself going on and on, no matter how many times we said it wasn't a big deal and thanking her for all the things she did do. She was honestly embarrassed. But the next Thanksgiving, when she once again forgot something minor (compared to the million things she remembered and spent hours on over the days prior), she let it go. My sister and I really put in the work to send our knowledge backwards and slightly alleviate the anxiety and low self-worth that my mom was conditioned to feel by her mother (and so on). I saw this in theaters three times and again afterwards: once with my grandma (who struggled with some of the dialogue since she's 90 but she got the gist when I explained it), once with my aunt (who has daughters and took my uncle to see it to help him understand what my cousins will go through), once with my mom and dad (who both loved it), and once with my other grandma and grandpa (my grandma has somehow become a vocal feminist in her twilight years and loved it, my grandpa couldn't follow but enjoyed it nonetheless). This is one movie I'm so glad I experienced with people because we got to cry together, laugh together, and reflect on the human experience together. There are some movies going experiences that are just special and stick with you forever and this was one of them.

[@kemsari9969]

I LOVE how in the first longer scene with Barbie and Ken, when she comes back to Barbieland with the humans and he has his tandrum and throws her out of her own house, Adriana Greenblatt (the actress who plays the daughter) cannot hold it together most of the time. She is just trying to hold back her giggles and control her face and most of the time, she fails and its soooo funny :D

[@manon_0411]

About the Kens not being as body inclusive as the Barbies: I believe it's because the actual, real life Ken dolls aren't inclusive themselves. All Barbies represented here are made after real Barbies, and so are the Kens. In recent years, there has been more body positivity in the Barbie dolls, but the Ken dolls are still pretty much the same insane standard of a jacked guy. Only thing they changed is the skin color. And that is highlighted here, all muscular guys. Pretty sure that was on purpose and part of the commentary. The only guy who's not muscular is Alan, and that's only because they stopped producing him at a point where Ken dolls weren't as muscular as they are now. If I'm not mistaken, Alan's catch phrase "I'm Ken's buddy, all his clothes fit me" was actually used in the marketing when they were selling Alan dolls. Pretty sure Alan's and modern Ken's clothes wouldn't be interchangeable nowadays.

[@dapeach06]

Not only is Margot Robbie a phenomenonal actor and dancer, and gorgeous, but she also produced this movie, hired the director, etc

[@dacatajk]

Appreciate that you understand the movie references within the movie and decided it totally nails it by the end after not thinking so at the beginning. A tour de force.

[@mrmikeshea]

Here for the reupload!

[@tameniai]

Margot Robbie fact: In Suicide Squad she runs up the elevator wall in those heeled boots--that was all her. No wires, no stunt double.

[@vb7794]

Well if you have to reupload I have to rewatch, and I'll do it twice, because it's one of the best movie I have seen

[@Naramiss2396]

9:01 I understand you 100% man, I love and respect anyone who will completely lose themselves in the moment on the dance floor whether people think they’re good or not they’re happy and they’re living in their best life so I’m happy for them as long as no one‘s causing harm to anyone else or themselves and they’re happy I’m happy for them

[@Mike90317]

Sublime (Reupload) [Rewatch] 🍿

[@fancypapercutz]

I actually have the memory of a goldfish because i got so excited to watch this, forgetting i watched the first one 😅 it was just as good the second time around!

[@Jim_The_Fish]

Real ones saw the original upload (I fell asleep before I finished and it got taken down, so I’m grateful)

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks for the re-upload, Jay and Adam! 🌺

[@themetalchica]

What an awesome gift to The Orchard, guys! Thank you so much. Love this! Keep these watchalongs goin!

[@themetalchica]

OMG I almost commented earlier that Margot is as close to Helen of Troy as I can think of, and then you said it, Jay. Ya done good, kid.

[@The_Raven_Tree]

watched the original vid but here's a comment to feed the algorithm

[@Skye_Writer]

I'm going to HOPE you saw my heartfelt comment the first time, because idk if I can properly word it a second time. But I will leave this comment here for the engagement algorithm, a new thumbs up, and I'm going to let this play through again for another view for you. Thank you, gents, for doing this. Much love!

[@CelticWarriorWoman]

So to stay true to form- there isnt any real "fat" Kens. Even the Broad Ken is still pretty fit looking. I LOVE that they kept to what is really out there (I 100% had a few of the barbies) and yes it absolutely is a conversation about how not only is it Barbie, but its a conversation about Ken

[@ming454]

We can't get Kenough issues with KZbin.

[@swisssmilla]

😂

[@annanas8162]

I guess the reason why they don't have different shape Kens are because they don't have those Dolls for sale. But there is/was a line of different sized (body weight & heights) Barbies dools some years ago (I have no idea if they sold good or not though).

[@hannahvillanueva8757]

Back for the reupload! And loved it again 😍

[@jackstutz2860]

Dresden reference!

[@wwaxwork]

I think the Kens all looking like that was like that on purpose, because they've made inclusive Barbie dolls but not inclusive Ken dolls and as one of you said all the dolls represent real Barbies that have existed.

[@mitchellhp]

I’ll always enjoy a rewatch of this reaction 😆

[@ETNMom]

I 💕 this movie

[@FromRussiaWithLuv007]

Watching again cause it’s really good

[@jasonmarbach]

I’m watching the re-upload as well, because I am Kenough

[@jeffthemaverick]

Reupload = another view from me 😂

[@megdelaney3677]

💗LOVE BARBIE!!!

[@Naramiss2396]

55:23 because there is no kens that are diverse other then in skin colour and that raises another important conversation since we know it’s not just girls that play with dolls boys need that representation too and maybe having kens that look like all boys and men out there could be a start to a new chapter

[@JacksonLane02]

Quite liked close to love the film. Wasn't really interested in the film then a first look photo of Ryan Gosling as Ken had me very intrigued then the trailers ( more so the 2nd trailer) and spots made me go ok I'm now very interested. Went with some family which they really liked it although they did give a bit of a weird choice from you but ok let's do it reaction when I suggested watching Barbie

[@zzzroxyzzz]

Lol trust me when i say you do not want to be in a car chase. I got chased once by these guys who pulled out from the bar after i passed out, we went for prob 7 miles at really high speeds, he kept turning his lights off behind me then when a car would come the other direction he'd flip them back on, then back off after the car passed. Eventually a second car pulled out from behind him, got in front of me and they tried to sandwich me between them. I really don't know how i got out of it I've never driven like that before or since, weaving back and forth at such high speeds i don't know how none of us wrecked, when we got to a more populated area they turned off and i went another couple miles before i stopped and just burst into tears. To this day i don't know what they wanted but car chases aren't fun lol they're terrifying.

[@IceMetalPunk]

I already watched it, but I'm here liking and commenting again to appease the KZbin gods of illumination and wealth, that they may continue to judge you fairly and bestow said wealth and recognition upon you.

[@StuffSteffSays]

I do not understand the blocking then unblocking but... Hi Barbie!

[@artloveranimation]

It's a shame the first upload had issues. Great video as always 👍🏻💕

[@VictorySquadron]

A re-upload Hooray!!

[@clairealderwood1928]

Ken was created AFTER Barbie end existed only for her. Ken only came in one size. Not a lot of diversity in shape.

[@dawn8293]

55:07 he's right and he should say it

[@TheRatsCast]

Such a great film.

[@Dalamar39524]

Rewatch for the AI gods

[@brickinitLego]

Engagement

[@Mrs.DeniseBennettAhrentzen]

We love you!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@Keithjmcc]

All that stuff you said was true. Also, the Godfather is a great movie. You should watch it for your channel and do a reaction.

[@kind4weak]

Yay!

[@drmwvr8785]

Back again to relike the reupload!

[@acwolf92]

I would like to see a reaction to The Crow and The Sandlot. I await the day Adam and Jay announce their making an anime exclusive reaction channel.

[@ceceelizabeth527]

Sublime!

[@janel1386]

What was taken out from the first upload?

[@grump9001]

Ah yes, another upload of Jay fangirling over Margot Robbie's perfect bod, lol

[@luumas]

reupload = rewatch? only for jay and adam

[@debuggal]

Whatever the result of the 2024 American election, my biggest constant frustration is political commercials. About a month more and I don't want to hear these names in the middle of tv or internet shows anymore. Not like I want to turn a tv to watch medicine ads either.

[@debuggal]

2023 - A bit better entertainment wise

[@joshuaminke6629]

i gotta say, while i watching this i was totally on Kens side. he just wanted to be somebody, be noticed. be important

[@ghostlee6434]

Could we get Jay to talk more and ignore the movie more!?

[@jinxie712]

Dear ladies, her rant about the good and bad about being a woman is not true (from the guy's perspective). What she did was rant from a place of emotions. I mean, it's not about asking for money. It's about leading with it and taking it for granted. We want to take care of you. It's our nature. We can't do it Kenough.

[@jollyrayda]

youtube.com/@jinxie712 Hey look everyone, we found the real life Ken! (I don't even _like_ this movie but at least I get the point, unlike plastic for brains here)

[@jollyrayda]

I just... I can't. I tried, i really did. Watched it with my (male) housemate and while he enjoyed it, my skin started crawling within about 30 seconds of the opening monologue (congrats, movie, Helen Mirren is now *_OFF_* my 'reading the phone book' list), and by the time we got to that monologue about 'being a woman' I was about ready to punch the screen. This is the third time I've watched a reaction, to see if it was just an initial response, but no... I get the point, I get what it's trying to do, but I have never watched something that made me feel so less than human. I am well aware that I have never been a stereotypical example of being female (and please, nobody call me Andrew Tate like happened on another (what I thought was a) friendly forum), so the broad strokes this movie paints for the entire gender really rub me up the wrong way - because I don't exist. There's no room in that world for someone like me - and no, I'm not NB - I just struggle to think of myself as human and stories like this DO NOT HELP. I have nothing in common with, and no connection to, anyone or anything in the entire flick, and given the almost universal reaction to the story, it makes me think there's something wrong with me. Not exactly a pleasant experience... Am I the only person who had this reaction?

[@zentec010]

Not a woman myself but pissed me off on some parts too, I'm guy and don't act like the scum that was depicted in the movie, but it is painted in broad stokes because people are to nuanced in my opinion. I just look to the parts I can agree and think how something like this might affect someone else. The whole stereo typical male and female agenda is what's wrong with the world. From the day we are born someone is trying to put us in some box and when we try to move past it, we get shammed back into it.

[@seamusburke639]

35:05 "Depression Barbie" is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
