Alex: Did you hear why Barbie dolls aren’t made of plastic anymore?
Jamie: No, why?
Alex: Because the Kardashians have used it all up!
Jamie: Speaking of Barbie, did you hear about the brand new Divorce Barbie from Mattel?
Alex: No! What’s special about her?
Jamie: She comes with all of Ken’s accessories!
Alex: That’s hilarious! But you know, Barbie has been criticized for promoting unrealistic body images.
Jamie: True, but here’s a twist: women’s heads are actually much more difficult to put back on in real life!
Alex: (laughs) Good point! What do you call a line of people waiting outside a toy store for Barbie dolls?
Jamie: I don’t know, what?
Alex: A Barbieque!
Jamie: (chuckles) Nice one! Did you hear about the Barbie that was great at swimming?
Alex: No, what about her?
Jamie: She was doll fin!
Alex: And what about Ken’s brother who only has one arm?
Jamie: What’s his name?
Alex: Bro Ken!
Jamie: (laughing) Perfect! By the way, why does Barbie look so good at 63?
Alex: I can’t imagine. Why?
Jamie: Plastic surgery!
Alex: (grinning) That’s a classic! Speaking of classic, what type of cue does Barbie use when she plays pool?
Jamie: I give up, what is it?
Alex: A Barbiecue!
Jamie: (laughs) I can’t believe the line at the cinema for the new Barbie film!
Alex: Right? It was the largest Barbie queue I’ve ever seen!
Jamie: And did you hear about the new army Barbie?
Alex: No, what does she do?
Jamie: She specializes in plastic explosives!
Alex: (chuckling) I bought my daughter some Barbies dressed from the 1600s, but something’s wrong with one.
Jamie: What’s wrong?
Alex: I think he’s baroque Ken!
Jamie: (smirking) Speaking of confusion, I was looking forward to watching Margot Robbie’s new film but ended up getting a burger instead!
Alex: (laughs) Oh no! Were you in the wrong Barbie queue?
Jamie: Exactly! By the way, what kind of animal do you think Barbie is?
Alex: Hmm, what?
Jamie: A chicken, because she’s the chick of Ken!
Alex: (laughing) That’s brilliant! Why did Barbie go to a yoga retreat in Australia?
Jamie: I have no idea, why?
Alex: She heard about all the Ken gurus!
Jamie: (grinning) That’s perfect! My son said Barbies aren’t for boys, though.
Alex: What did you tell him?
Jamie: I said, “They Ken be!”
Alex: (chuckles) And what about Barbie and Ken arguing over the dishwasher?
Jamie: What happened?
Alex: Ken says, “Barbie, I’ve unloaded the dishwasher every day this week. Can you PLEASE do it this once?” And Barbie replies, “No Ken do!”
Jamie: (laughing) That’s such a relatable moment!
Alex: It really is! Barbie continues to bring so much joy and laughter to all of us.
Jamie: Absolutely! Let’s keep celebrating the playful spirit of Barbie!
