The major difference between this series and all previous ''Barbie'' series is that this version stars not just Barbie the character, but Barbie ''the doll''--the entire universe is ToyTime incarnate, with all of the characters having visible plastic joints, and all of the technology running off toy rules (the showers are powered by hand pumps; the cars use giant D-cell batteries). [[MediumAwareness The show is very aware of this.]] Barbie's personality is that of a [[TheAce sparklingly cheerful girl who's done, and is good at, everything]], [[ParodySue to the point of comedy.]] Her boyfriend Ken is a [[{{Adorkable}} good-natured klutz]] [[{{Keet}} who's almost as perky as Barbie]], if nowhere near as skilled. She lives with her three younger sisters, [[InvisibleParents parents nowhere in sight]], and her three [[AmplifiedAnimalAptitude hyperintelligent pets.]] Her friends, Nikki, Teresa, and Midge often come over to hang out. Meanwhile, Barbie's "[[UnknownRival friend]]" Raquelle is often looking for ways to make her life difficult so that ''she'' can be the star for once, occasionally teaming up with her twin brother Ryan, who really just wants in on Barbie. And the whole thing is filled to the brim with nods to Barbie's 50-odd year history, along with plenty of other {{Parental Bonus}}es and all-ages rapid-fire humor.

->''Everything's fantastic when you're made of plastic at the Dreamhouse.''
-->--'''ThemeTuneExtended'''
The latest animated series to tie in with the popular ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'' toyline, ''Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse'' is a 2012 web series produced by Mattel. The series follows a SliceOfLife look into Barbie's, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin life]] in her Malibu dream house, with brief RealityTelevision-esque asides into Barbie and her friends' thoughts. Barbie attends parties, goes to the beach, dates Ken, hangs out with her sisters, and does all of the sort of things you would expect Barbie to do. What's ''unexpected'' is the ''massive'' helping of [[AffectionateParody Affectionate]] [[SelfDeprecation Self-Parody]], MediumAwareness, and ParentalBonus on display, adding up to a lovingly parodic version of the Barbie universe not completely out of line with her ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory 3'' depiction.
The major difference between this series and all previous ''Barbie'' series is that this version stars not just Barbie the character, but Barbie ''the doll''--the entire universe is ToyTime incarnate, with all of the characters having visible plastic joints, and all of the technology running off toy rules (the showers are powered by hand pumps; the cars use giant D-cell batteries). [[MediumAwareness The show is very aware of this.]] Barbie's personality is that of a [[TheAce sparklingly cheerful girl who's done, and is good at, everything]], [[ParodySue to the point of comedy.]] Her boyfriend Ken is a [[{{Adorkable}} good-natured klutz]] [[{{Keet}} who's almost as perky as Barbie]], if nowhere near as skilled.

----
!!'''This webseries contains examples of:'''
* AchievementsInIgnorance: Somehow, Ken manages to assemble Chelsea's bike into a tennis-playing robot.
* {{Adorkable}}:
** Ken, who actually seems to ''realize'' that he's {{Adorkable}} and is disappointed that he can't seem to be more traditionally macho.
** Midge proves so adorkable that the official website uses the word in reference to her.
* AllThereInTheManual: As a RecurringExtra, Summer never got called by name in the first three seasons. Mattel revealed her name at the 2013 Toy Fair, when showing off this show's toyline.
* AllWomenLoveShoes: Be they bought, loaned, in the closet, all over the house...
* AluminumChristmasTrees: Chelsea owns a dollhouse even smaller than the Dreamhouse, inhabited by inanimate dolls even smaller than herself and the other leads. Even though this sounds like a MindScrew, Mattel really does make dollhouses and dolls small enough for Barbies (and [[AmericanGirlsCollection American Girls]]) to play with.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Taffy, Tawny, and Blissa get their own "on the couch" segments, where their barking/neighing/meowing is translated. They seem to be quite erudite.
* AngelsPose: Barbie, Raquelle, and Chelsea do this in "Ken-Tastic, Hair-Tastic" to kick off a MakeoverMontage.
* AnimationBump: Looks a lot more fluid and clean than some of the Barbie movies. Probably because having your characters be living dolls means it's okay that they look plastic.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Raquelle at the end of "The Shrinkerator."
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Played straight seeing as the characters are actual dolls. Ken and Ryan have featureless chests whenever they go shirtless.
* BeachEpisode: "Day at the Beach," of course, as well as "Sisters Ahoy."
* [[spoiler: BearyFriendly]]: In "Oh, How Campy Too", [[spoiler: a bear acts as Stacie's DeusExMachina in hopes of earning a merit badge]].
* BellyButtonless: When GameShow host Skipper quizzes Barbie's friends on how long Barbie has had a belly button for, Teresa admits she doesn't even know what a belly button is, and Barbie confesses that she can't remember when she got it.
* BiggerOnTheInside: The dreamhouse itself, of course, but there's also her palatial camper. And her ''closet...''
** Apparently the neighborhood plumbing can fit ''dolphins''.
* BigNo: "I mean, yay!"
** Also played straight sometimes.
* BlondBrunetteRedhead: In that order: Barbie, Nikki, and Teresa.
* BreakTheCutie: Barbie fails to retain her composure during a city-wide shortage of glitter. Notably, she cries right after a TV broadcast crew finishes filming her telling the others ThisIsNoTimeToPanic, and eventually becomes so desperate for shiny clothing, she wraps herself in tin foil.
* BritishAccents: The pets when their barks/meows/neighs are translated into human speech, at least in the English version.
* BrotherSisterTeam: Ryan and Raquelle...sometimes.
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: When Teresa and Nikki slide through a dark passageway in one scene of "Closet Princess", they look like eyeballs floating against a dark backdrop.
* TheCameo: [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse He-Man]] in "The Shrinkerator". [[spoiler: It was actually a vintage 1980s He-Man action figure.]]
* CameraAbuse
* CameraFiend: Nikki
* CampStraight: Both Ryan and Ken, but they'd probably have to be to live in ''this'' world. That, and being (based on) [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory a girl's toy and all...]]
* CatchPhrase:
-->'''Barbie:''' What in the world?
* CatsAreMean: Blissa disagrees, but: "It's not ''being mean,'' it's building character!"
* CheatersNeverProsper: Teresa bets LethalChef Barbie to give her a pedicure if she can't bake a batch of cupcakes without causing a disaster. Barbie tries to use her "Little Miss Cupcake-ilator" to whip up a batch, but since she can't remember how to turn it off (unplug it), she floods her kitchen with cupcakes. Teresa declares herself the winner.
* CheerfulChild: You can't bring Chelsea down, even when she doesn't get her [[spoiler: tennis ball-firing robot]].
* ChildProdigy: Chelsea is pretty smart for a six-year-old.
* ChildhoodFriends: Barbie and Midge, the latter of whom moved from Willows, Wisconsin to Malibu in season three.
* CoconutMeetsCranium: Poor Skipper.
* CoincidentalBroadcast: Happens in "Bad Hair Day" and "Gone Glitter Gone".
* ComedicUnderwearExposure. Happens to Ken a few times. His GoofyPrintUnderwear has his name written on it, in several of the fonts used on Ken dolls' boxes and ads over the years.
* ConfessionCam
* ContinuityNod: The answers to Skipper's questions in "Let's Make a Doll" contain some facts about Barbie that might sound more familiar to older fans than to younger ones, such as her middle name, her parents' names, and her 1980s rock band's name.
* ContrivedCoincidence: While Barbie and her friends discuss the possibility of opening a boutique, they find an empty store at the strip mall.
-->'''Teresa:''' It's like it was waiting for us!
* ControlFreak: Stacie, at times.
-->'''Chelsea:''' This has been the bestest day! The yummy cake, the awesome presents, the [[BreadEggsMilkSquick military-precision scheduling...]]

* CouchGag: The topiary in the EstablishingShot of the Dreamhouse. It's different every episode.

* CutenessProximity: Varying degrees with everyone but special attention goes to Ken as it's even use for a plot device in the 'Plethora of Puppies' episode:
-->'''Ken:''' I suffer from 'Hyper Cuteness Sensitivity Disorder'. Whenever I'm in close proximity to something adorable I, well....faint. [[BlatantLies It's quite common]].
* CyberCyclops: Closet, Barbie's sometimes AffablyEvil [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin closet-controlling AI.]]
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: "I just love being a mentor and helping someone improve, and Raquelle's got so much room for improvement! Wait, that came out wrong. (chuckles)"
* DidYouGetANewHaircut: "...You know it never grows back."
* DiscoDan: Apparently everyone from Barbie's birthplace of Willows, Wisconsin, including Midge, remains trapped in the late 1950s/early 1960s. "Things are a bit behind the times there. They don't have computers, or cell phones, or...even [[DeliberatelyMonochrome colors]]!"
* DiscretionShot: Ryan doesn't let the viewers the entirety of the ImagineSpot where he and Barbie sit by the fireplace, explaining that it's "...too good to share!"

* DolphinsDolphinsEverywhere: "Accidentallly on Porpoise."
* DoomItYourself: Ken's attempt to assemble Chelsea's bike himself fails spectacularly enough that he [[AchievementsInIgnorance manages to accidentally build a tennis ball-firing robot out of the parts instead]].

* EverythingsPreciousWithPuppies: "Plethora of Puppies" is all ABOUT this.

* FashionShow: Barbie of course attends these regularly.

** "Gone Glitter Gone" has Malibu survive the glitter shortage, only to learn that [[spoiler: the cupcake bakers have run out of sprinkles]].
* IHaveToGoIronMyDog:
-->'''Ken:''' I think I left my oven on!\\
'''Ryan:''' I think I left his oven on, too!
** In another short:
-->'''Raquelle:''' Well, I gotta go...do...some stuff...elsewhere. Bye.
* IdiosyncraticWipe: Mostly they're shaped like Barbie's head, but "Oh How Campy" also has pinecone and fish-shaped ones. The ValentinesDayEpisode uses transitions with pictures of Cupid.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Raquelle and Ryan, full stop. No matter what nasty shenanigans they get up to it's hard to hate them because they fail so hard every time.
* InstantCostumeChange: Barbie promises that her technical institute can help people change jobs as quickly as she can change her outfit. The camera cuts to Ryan looking excited for a second, then cuts back to Barbie, wearing completely different clothes than at the start of the commercial.
** Barbie also does this in "Party Foul" and [[spoiler: "Catty on the Catwalk"]], albiet without the camera cutting away from her. Nikki follows her lead in the former of those shorts.
** Raquelle and her party guests frequently change their clothes in "Party Foul".
* InternalHomage:
** "Ken-Tastic, Hair-Tastic" briefly shows Ken sporting a bowl cut made of molded plastic, similar to the "hair" of Ken dolls from TheEighties.
** Episode "Closet Clothes Out" has Barbie dress in a black and white one-piece bathing suit, the first apparel she ever wore since her debut to the world.
** The dress Midge wears during her first day in Malibu looks not unlike [[http://www.antiquedollhouseofpatterns.com/shopcart/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=16238#morepics&osCsid=9n5gqghaei5e0gikgi01oqq0q4/ an actual 1960s Barbie/Midge dress.]]
* ItsACostumePartyISwear: [[spoiler: Inverted when Barbie and Nikki attend Raquelle's "pool party" in swimsuits, only to find everyone dressed as fairies.]]
* {{Keet}}: Ken. Good God, ''Ken''.
* LaughTrack: "A Smidge of Midge" uses one to emulate old sitcoms, but only Skipper and the viewers can hear it.
* LethalChef: Barbie may be good at everything, but she's not a great baker. She won't admit to it, though.
** Subverted with Stacie. She throws an entire carton of eggs, styrofoam container and all, into a bowl, along with the sugar box. She sticks the whole thing into the oven without a pan... and it turns into a perfect, already-decorated cake. "Baking can be hard work."
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Barbie and Raquelle.
* LivingToys
* LoveTriangle: Barbie and Ken are dating, of course, but Ryan wants in on Barbie. The same can be said for his twin Raquelle, who wants Ken for herself.

** "A Smidge of Midge" includes one when Barbie and her sisters introduce some contemporary fashions to Midge.
* MegaNeko: Well, Barbie and Raquelle were shrunk, but Blissa still counted.
* MerchandiseDriven: It IS a cartoon based on the dolls themselves, so naturally. Though dolls based on the actual series are coming out in late 2013- dolls based on a cartoon, based on a doll...
* MissingTrailerScene: The OnTheNext segment at the end of "Gone Glitter Gone Part 1" shows Barbie and two of her sisters chasing Skipper through the foyer, after Skipper swipes Chelsea's last jar of glitter.
* MusicalisInterruptus:
** Sometimes Barbie cuts off Ryan's {{Silly Love Song}}s.
** "Happy Birthday Chelsea" seems to start with Chelsea about to sing about how much fun she'll have on her birthday, but Skipper cuts her off by calling her to breakfast. Later on, Barbie asks Chelsea if she'd like to sing a "special birthday song", but Chelsea refuses.
* MysteryBox: Before Skipper gives Teresa, Nikki, Midge, and Raquelle the final question in her game show, she asks if any of them would like to open Door #3 instead. Raquelle refuses, recalling how many other game shows have lame {{Consolation Prize}}s. [[spoiler: It later turns out that Door #3 had ''Ken'' behind it.]]
* MythologyGag:
** The Dreamhouse's address is 1959 Malibu Way. The address is the date Barbie was established and Malibu is likely reference to another popular Barbie released in the 70's.
** "Ken-Tastic, Hair-Tastic" begins with Barbie singing, "[[WesternAnimation/BarbieAFashionFairytale Get Your Sparkle On]]" while showering.
* NoodleImplements: "I'm gonna make this Raquelle's best day ever! All I need is duct tape, some pea soup, rubber boots, and a couple of turkey feathers." The viewers never find out what she did with the feathers.
* NoodleIncident: "I was set to evil once."
* NotInTheFace: Ryan says this right before Ken [[WrestlerInAllOfUs does a drop on him]].

* OnlySixFaces: All the female extras have the same face, body type, and hairstyle.
* {{Overcrank}}: After Raquelle barely scores higher than Barbie in their beach games, she runs and cheers, "I win!" in slow motion. Music that sounds [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong suspiciously similar]] to the ''Film/ChariotsOfFire'' theme plays as she does this.
* ParodyCommercial: Sometimes Mattel releases one or two in between seasons.
* ParodySue: Barbie herself, natch. The series love to hang {{lampshades}} on her ridiculous job history, such as asking how she managed to be a racecar driver once without learning how to drive, or her bafflement when she learns that her friends ''haven't'' been to the moon.
* ReunionShow: Parodied in the second season premiere.
* RightHandCat: Blissa temporarily becomes one to Chelsea during the glitter shortage.
--> '''Chelsea:''' [[Film/TheGodfather She dishonors the family!]]
* SassyBlackWoman: Nikki's cast profiles states that she is "Smart, sassy, and totally fun to be around"
* SchmuckBait
--> '''Ken''': How could giving the closet [[AIIsACrapshoot artificial intelligence]], absolute control over the dreamhouse, and a surly personality backfire?
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Ken lets out a happy high-pitched scream upon seeing Barbie got her driver's license.
** When encountering Ryan in zombie makeup, Ken lets out a high pitched scream, which he then tries to cover up with a low pitched scream, which he then tries to cover up by clearing his throat and bravely asking Ryan what he's doing in Barbie's yard.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Played with with Ken and Ryan. Despite Ryan wanting to play up the brooding Manly Man part it turns out he's just as sensitive as Ken is.
* SequelEscalation: Season two has more outlandish storylines than the first one did. The cartoon went from showing Barbie go to the beach, attend parties, and redecorate her house to showing Barbie get trapped in her giant closet, become even smaller than doll-sized, and pursue dolphins that escaped into the sewer.
* SeriousBusiness: Malibu's dwindling supply of glitter causes a city-wide crisis.
* ShaggyDogStory: Possibly "Closet Princess". Barbie and her friends enter the closet so Barbie can find the butterfly barrette she wants to wear on her next date with Ken. After a day's worth of exploring, Barbie finds the barrette in her pocket. Despite this, she denies the journey was ''all'' for nothing, since she found a nice necklace to wear.

* ShoutOut: Apart from the Mythology Gags, the webseries also features references to ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', ''Film/{{Jaws}}'', ''Film/JurassicPark,'' ''Film/TheGodfather'' and ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''.
** A [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse He-Man]] action figure can also be seen in the ''The Shrinkerator''

* SickeninglySweethearts: Did you really expect anything less from Ken and Barbie?
* SillyLoveSongs: The songs performed in the music videos featured in "I Want My BTV" and "Everybody Needs a Ken".
* SlowNo: Barbie says this as she rushes to stop Raquelle from activating the Shrinkerator.
* SlumberParty: Barbie throws one in "A Spooky Sleepover", with help from a mobile app that suggests different activities.

-->'''Ken:''' It looks like a bakery pooped its pants.
* SpellingSong: "Everybody Needs a Ken" has Teresa and Nikki spell out Ken's name while Barbie sings the chorus. They even try to shape themselves into the letters.
* SpoiledSweet: Barbie, of course.
* SpringtimeForHitler: Trying to give Raquelle a spot in the sun, Barbie takes her own bad hair day and tries to turn it into a full-blown fashion disaster. Being [[ParodySue Barbie]], she instead ends up starting a fashion trend.

* StealthInsult: "It's always brave when a friend tries out a new look. And in this case, Ken was being really, really brave! Like, plaid with stripes brave!"

* TaughtByExperience: When Skipper's inventions for making over patrons of Barbie's boutique make Raquelle actually look worse than before, Skipper proceeds to detect and repair glitches in the devices quickly enough for Barbie to see how efficiently they can serve patrons when in proper condition.
* TemptingFate: Barbie asks Ken if he finds it safe for him to tend to her plastic pox alone. Ken simply asks, "What's the worst that could happen?" The scene then cuts to a healed Barbie tending to a pox-infected ''Ken''. Fortunately, he admits that he doesn't mind feeling sick if it means keeping Barbie by his side.
* ThatPoorCat: A cat yowl is heard after the giant roll of masking tape bounces away in "Closet Clothes Out".
* ThatWasNotADream: Barbie has to say this to Ken after purposely deciding to let Raquelle outshine her.
* TradeSnark: The written summaries for the episodes indicate that the trademark is actually part of Barbie's name.
* TrrrillingRrrs: Rrraquelle!
* UnknownRival: Bless her heart, but Barbie just doesn't seem to realize that Raquelle is constantly trying to upstage her.
* UnlimitedWardrobe: Barbie can even change her clothes on the fly through her strange, Barbie-based powers. It is a severe emergency when her closet becomes ''full!''
* TheUnreveal: We never ''do'' learn Barbie's age.
* UrineTrouble: Taffy pees all over Ryan's song for Barbie. "If I'd wanted ''that'' reaction, I would've just [[ParentalBonus played it in front of my agent.]]"
* VacationEpisode: The reunion show promises an episode in which Barbie and the gang go to Paris. [[spoiler: The "clip" becomes revealed as simply everyone standing in front of a backdrop.]]
* VagueAge: The entire plot of Episode 13, where it's Barbie's birthday and most of the gang try futilely to figure out Barbie's age.
--> '''Nikki:''' Well, I ''know'' she was a doctor once, and you have to go to school for, like, eleven years to do that...\\
'''Teresa:''' She ran for President once! You have to be at ''least'' thirty-five for that, so let's see... carry the one... uh... What am I adding?

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: One of Ken's fights with Ryan has him jumping off the hood of a car to do a drop on him.

* XMeetsY: It's basically Michelle Phan meets Whitest Kids U Know
* YourFavorite: Raquelle tries to convince Barbie to help her improve her modeling behavior by baking her peanut butter fudge cookies, which she assumes Barbie considers her favorite. Barbie admits that she actually prefers a different kind of cookie,[[note]]We don't find out exactly what kind before Raquelle interrupts, but we do learn that one of the ingredients consists of chocolate.[[/note]] but still helps Raquelle out of the goodness of her heart.

[[caption-width-right:346:Three minutes of animated pink. And it is ''glorious''.[[labelnote: From L-R]] Skipper, Stacie, Ryan, Chelsea, Blissa, Tawny, Taffy, Barbie, Ken, Raquelle, Nikki, Teresa[[/labelnote]]]]
->''Everything's fantastic when you're made of plastic at the Dreamhouse.''
-->--'''ThemeTuneExtended'''
The latest animated series to tie in with the popular ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'' toyline, ''Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse'' is a 2012 web series produced by Mattel. The series follows a SliceOfLife look into Barbie's, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin life]] in her Malibu dream house, with brief RealityTelevision-esque asides into Barbie and her friends' thoughts. Barbie attends parties, goes to the beach, dates Ken, hangs out with her sisters, and does all of the sort of things you would expect Barbie to do. What's ''unexpected'' is the ''massive'' helping of [[AffectionateParody Affectionate]] [[SelfDeprecation Self-Parody]], MediumAwareness, and ParentalBonus on display, adding up to a lovingly parodic version of the Barbie universe not completely out of line with her ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory 3'' depiction.
The major difference between this series and all previous ''Barbie'' series is that this version stars not just Barbie the character, but Barbie ''the doll''--the entire universe is ToyTime incarnate, with all of the characters having visible plastic joints, and all of the technology running off toy rules (the showers are powered by hand pumps; the cars use giant D-cell batteries). [[MediumAwareness The show is very aware of this.]] Barbie's personality is that of a [[TheAce sparklingly cheerful girl who's done, and is good at, everything]], [[ParodySue to the point of comedy.]] Her boyfriend Ken is a [[{{Adorkable}} good-natured klutz]] [[{{Keet}} who's almost as perky as Barbie]], if nowhere near as skilled. She lives with her three younger sisters, [[InvisibleParents parents nowhere in sight]], and her three [[AmplifiedAnimalAptitude hyperintelligent pets.]] Her friends Nikki and Teresa often come over, and her "[[UnknownRival friend]]" Raquelle is often looking for ways to make her life difficult so that ''she'' can be the star for once. And the whole thing is filled to the brim with nods to Barbie's 50-odd year history, along with plenty of other {{Parental Bonus}}es and all-ages rapid-fire humor.
The series can be found [[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB4C82F2A68D62AA8 on the official Barbie Youtube channel]], as well as [[http://www.barbie.com/Dreamhouse the official Barbie website.]]
----
!!'''This webseries contains examples of:'''
* AchievementsInIgnorance: Somehow, Ken manages to assemble Chelsea's bike into a tennis-playing robot.
* {{Adorkable}}:
** Ken, who actually seems to ''realize'' that he's {{Adorkable}} and is disappointed that he can't seem to be more traditionally macho.
** Midge proves so adorkable that the official website uses the word in reference to her.
* AllThereInTheManual: As a RecurringExtra, Summer never got called by name in the first three seasons. Mattel revealed her name at the 2013 Toy Fair, when showing off this show's toyline.
* AllWomenLoveShoes: Be they bought, loaned, in the closet, all over the house...
* AluminumChristmasTrees: Chelsea owns a dollhouse even smaller than the Dreamhouse, inhabited by inanimate dolls even smaller than herself and the other leads. Even though this sounds like a MindScrew, Mattel really does make dollhouses and dolls small enough for Barbies (and [[AmericanGirlsCollection American Girls]]) to play with.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Taffy, Tawny, and Blissa get their own "on the couch" segments, where their barking/neighing/meowing is translated. They seem to be quite erudite.
* AngelsPose: Barbie, Raquelle, and Chelsea do this in "Ken-Tastic, Hair-Tastic" to kick off a MakeoverMontage.
* AnimationBump: Looks a lot more fluid and clean than some of the Barbie movies. Probably because having your characters be living dolls means it's okay that they look plastic.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Raquelle at the end of "The Shrinkerator."
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Played straight seeing as the characters are actual dolls. Ken and Ryan have featureless chests whenever they go shirtless.
* BeachEpisode: "Day at the Beach," of course, as well as "Sisters Ahoy."
* [[spoiler: BearyFriendly]]: In "Oh, How Campy Too", [[spoiler: a bear acts as Stacie's DeusExMachina in hopes of earning a merit badge]].
* BellyButtonless: When GameShow host Skipper quizzes Barbie's friends on how long Barbie has had a belly button for, Teresa admits she doesn't even know what a belly button is, and Barbie confesses that she can't remember when she got it.
* BiggerOnTheInside: The dreamhouse itself, of course, but there's also her palatial camper. And her ''closet...''
** Apparently the neighborhood plumbing can fit ''dolphins''.
* BigNo: "I mean, yay!"
** Also played straight sometimes.
* BlondBrunetteRedhead: In that order: Barbie, Nikki, and Teresa.
* BreakTheCutie: Barbie fails to retain her composure during a city-wide shortage of glitter. Notably, she cries right after a TV broadcast crew finishes filming her telling the others ThisIsNoTimeToPanic, and eventually becomes so desperate for shiny clothing, she wraps herself in tin foil.
* BritishAccents: The pets when their barks/meows/neighs are translated into human speech, at least in the English version.
* BrotherSisterTeam: Ryan and Raquelle...sometimes.
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: When Teresa and Nikki slide through a dark passageway in one scene of "Closet Princess", they look like eyeballs floating against a dark backdrop.

* CameraAbuse
* CameraFiend: Nikki
* CampStraight: Both Ryan and Ken, but they'd probably have to be to live in ''this'' world. That, and being (based on) [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory a girl's toy and all...]]
* CatchPhrase:
-->'''Barbie:''' What in the world?
* CatsAreMean: Blissa disagrees, but: "It's not ''being mean,'' it's building character!"
* CheatersNeverProsper: Teresa bets LethalChef Barbie to give her a pedicure if she can't bake a batch of cupcakes without causing a disaster. Barbie tries to use her "Little Miss Cupcake-ilator" to whip up a batch, but since she can't remember how to turn it off (unplug it), she floods her kitchen with cupcakes. Teresa declares herself the winner.
* CheerfulChild: You can't bring Chelsea down, even when she doesn't get her [[spoiler: tennis ball-firing robot]].
* ChildProdigy: Chelsea is pretty smart for a six-year-old.

* CoincidentalBroadcast: Happens in "Bad Hair Day" and "Gone Glitter Gone".

* ConfessionCam
* ContinuityNod: The answers to Skipper's questions in "Let's Make a Doll" contain some facts about Barbie that might sound more familiar to older fans than to younger ones, such as her middle name, her parents' names, and her 1980s rock band's name.
* ContrivedCoincidence: While Barbie and her friends discuss the possibility of opening a boutique, they find an empty store at the strip mall.

* IdiosyncraticWipe: Mostly they're shaped like Barbie's head, but "Oh How Campy" also has pinecone and fish-shaped ones. The ValentinesDayEpisode uses transitions with pictures of Cupid.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Raquelle and Ryan, full stop. No matter what nasty shenanigans they get up to it's hard to hate them because they fail so hard every time.
* InstantCostumeChange: Barbie promises that her technical institute can help people change jobs as quickly as she can change her outfit. The camera cuts to Ryan looking excited for a second, then cuts back to Barbie, wearing completely different clothes than at the start of the commercial.
** Barbie also does this in "Party Foul" and [[spoiler: "Catty on the Catwalk"]], albiet without the camera cutting away from her. Nikki follows her lead in the former of those shorts.
** Raquelle and her party guests frequently change their clothes in "Party Foul".
* InternalHomage:
** "Ken-Tastic, Hair-Tastic" briefly shows Ken sporting a bowl cut made of molded plastic, similar to the "hair" of Ken dolls from TheEighties.
** Episode "Closet Clothes Out" has Barbie dress in a black and white one-piece bathing suit, the first apparel she ever wore since her debut to the world.
** The dress Midge wears during her first day in Malibu looks not unlike [[http://www.antiquedollhouseofpatterns.com/shopcart/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=16238#morepics&osCsid=9n5gqghaei5e0gikgi01oqq0q4/ an actual 1960s Barbie/Midge dress.]]
* ItsACostumePartyISwear: [[spoiler: Inverted when Barbie and Nikki attend Raquelle's "pool party" in swimsuits, only to find everyone dressed as fairies.]]
* {{Keet}}: Ken. Good God, ''Ken''.
* LaughTrack: "A Smidge of Midge" uses one to emulate old sitcoms, but only Skipper and the viewers can hear it.
* LethalChef: Barbie may be good at everything, but she's not a great baker. She won't admit to it, though.
** Subverted with Stacie. She throws an entire carton of eggs, styrofoam container and all, into a bowl, along with the sugar box. She sticks the whole thing into the oven without a pan... and it turns into a perfect, already-decorated cake. "Baking can be hard work."
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Barbie and Raquelle.
* LivingToys
* LoveTriangle: Barbie and Ken are dating, of course, but Ryan wants in on Barbie. The same can be said for his twin Raquelle, who wants Ken for herself.
* MakeoverMontage:
** Male example with Ken in "Ken-tastic, Hair-tastic".
** "A Smidge of Midge" includes one when Barbie and her sisters introduce some contemporary fashions to Midge.
* MegaNeko: Well, Barbie and Raquelle were shrunk, but Blissa still counted.
* MerchandiseDriven: It IS a cartoon based on the dolls themselves, so naturally. Though dolls based on the actual series are coming out in late 2013- dolls based on a cartoon, based on a doll...
* MissingTrailerScene: The OnTheNext segment at the end of "Gone Glitter Gone Part 1" shows Barbie and two of her sisters chasing Skipper through the foyer, after Skipper swipes Chelsea's last jar of glitter.
* MusicalisInterruptus:
** Sometimes Barbie cuts off Ryan's {{Silly Love Song}}s.
** "Happy Birthday Chelsea" seems to start with Chelsea about to sing about how much fun she'll have on her birthday, but Skipper cuts her off by calling her to breakfast. Later on, Barbie asks Chelsea if she'd like to sing a "special birthday song", but Chelsea refuses.
* MysteryBox: Before Skipper gives Teresa, Nikki, Midge, and Raquelle the final question in her game show, she asks if any of them would like to open Door #3 instead. Raquelle refuses, recalling how many other game shows have lame {{Consolation Prize}}s. [[spoiler: It later turns out that Door #3 had ''Ken'' behind it.]]
* MythologyGag:
** The Dreamhouse's address is 1959 Malibu Way. The address is the date Barbie was established and Malibu is likely reference to another popular Barbie released in the 70's.
** "Ken-Tastic, Hair-Tastic" begins with Barbie singing, "[[WesternAnimation/BarbieAFashionFairytale Get Your Sparkle On]]" while showering.
* NoodleImplements: "I'm gonna make this Raquelle's best day ever! All I need is duct tape, some pea soup, rubber boots, and a couple of turkey feathers." The viewers never find out what she did with the feathers.
* NoodleIncident: "I was set to evil once."

* OnlySixFaces: All the female extras have the same face, body type, and hairstyle.
* {{Overcrank}}: After Raquelle barely scores higher than Barbie in their beach games, she runs and cheers, "I win!" in slow motion. Music that sounds [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong suspiciously similar]] to the ''Film/ChariotsOfFire'' theme plays as she does this.
* ParodyCommercial: Sometimes Mattel releases one or two in between seasons.
* ParodySue: Barbie herself, natch. The series love to hang {{lampshades}} on her ridiculous job history, such as asking how she managed to be a racecar driver once without learning how to drive, or her bafflement when she learns that her friends ''haven't'' been to the moon.
* ReunionShow: Parodied in the second season premiere.
* RightHandCat: Blissa temporarily becomes one to Chelsea during the glitter shortage.
--> '''Chelsea:''' [[Film/TheGodfather She dishonors the family!]]
* SassyBlackWoman: Nikki's cast profiles states that she is "Smart, sassy, and totally fun to be around"

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Ken lets out a happy high-pitched scream upon seeing Barbie got her driver's license.
** When encountering Ryan in zombie makeup, Ken lets out a high pitched scream, which he then tries to cover up with a low pitched scream, which he then tries to cover up by clearing his throat and bravely asking Ryan what he's doing in Barbie's yard.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Played with with Ken and Ryan. Despite Ryan wanting to play up the brooding Manly Man part it turns out he's just as sensitive as Ken is.
* SequelEscalation: Season two has more outlandish storylines than the first one did. The cartoon went from showing Barbie go to the beach, attend parties, and redecorate her house to showing Barbie get trapped in her giant closet, become even smaller than doll-sized, and pursue dolphins that escaped into the sewer.
* SeriousBusiness: Malibu's dwindling supply of glitter causes a city-wide crisis.
* ShaggyDogStory: Possibly "Closet Princess". Barbie and her friends enter the closet so Barbie can find the butterfly barrette she wants to wear on her next date with Ken. After a day's worth of exploring, Barbie finds the barrette in her pocket. Despite this, she denies the journey was ''all'' for nothing, since she found a nice necklace to wear.

* SheCleansUpNicely: Ryan thinks this of Midge after she changes her appearance from black and white to color.
* ShoutOut: Apart from the Mythology Gags, the webseries also features references to ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', ''Film/{{Jaws}}'', ''Film/JurassicPark,'' ''Film/TheGodfather'' and ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''.
** A [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse He-Man]] action figure can also be seen in the ''The Shrinkerator''

* TaughtByExperience: When Skipper's inventions for making over patrons of Barbie's boutique make Raquelle actually look worse than before, Skipper proceeds to detect and repair glitches in the devices quickly enough for Barbie to see how efficiently they can serve patrons when in proper condition.
* TemptingFate: Barbie asks Ken if he finds it safe for him to tend to her plastic pox alone. Ken simply asks, "What's the worst that could happen?" The scene then cuts to a healed Barbie tending to a pox-infected ''Ken''. Fortunately, he admits that he doesn't mind feeling sick if it means keeping Barbie by his side.
* ThatPoorCat: A cat yowl is heard after the giant roll of masking tape bounces away in "Closet Clothes Out".

* UnknownRival: Bless her heart, but Barbie just doesn't seem to realize that Raquelle is constantly trying to upstage her.

* TheUnreveal: We never ''do'' learn Barbie's age.
* UrineTrouble: Taffy pees all over Ryan's song for Barbie. "If I'd wanted ''that'' reaction, I would've just [[ParentalBonus played it in front of my agent.]]"
* VacationEpisode: The reunion show promises an episode in which Barbie and the gang go to Paris. [[spoiler: The "clip" becomes revealed as simply everyone standing in front of a backdrop.]]
* VagueAge: The entire plot of Episode 13, where it's Barbie's birthday and most of the gang try futilely to figure out Barbie's age.
--> '''Nikki:''' Well, I ''know'' she was a doctor once, and you have to go to school for, like, eleven years to do that...\\
'''Teresa:''' She ran for President once! You have to be at ''least'' thirty-five for that, so let's see... carry the one... uh... What am I adding?

* WritingAroundTrademarks: "It looks like a Swedish furniture store threw up in here!"
** "You look like a movie on [[TurnerClassicMovies that channel nobody watches]]!"
* XMeetsY: It's basically Michelle Phan meets Whitest Kids U Know

Barbie admits that she actually prefers a different kind of cookie,[[note]]We don't find out exactly what kind before Raquelle interrupts, but we do learn that one of the ingredients consists of chocolate.[[/note]] but still helps Raquelle out of the goodness of her heart.
