* ObliviousToLove: Barbie seems oblivious to the fact that Ken reciprocates her feelings for him. For example, in "BEST FRIEND TAG WITH KEN! Socially Distant Style!" Ken gives a long-winded speech about his first impression of Barbie and basically says everything he likes about her. While he stops himself, he's visibly flustered by the fact that he's all but outright said he has a crush on her. Barbie takes all of this in and concludes that they'll be friends forever, which he agrees to, and there's an audible awkwardness before they move on to the next question.

First in their pizza challenge when she tries to get him to eat bananas, and second jokingly in the vlog "Barbie and Ken Love The Ocean". In the second instance, she jokingly calls Ken "Kenneth" in return, which is his full first name.

''Barbie Vlog'' is not connected to any previous ''Barbie'' animations, though it takes inspiration from the contemporary AllCGICartoon films (Barbie being a teenager, Barbie liking video games, the 'normal teenager' setting, etc). It also isn't as tongue-in-cheek as its predecessor ''WebAnimation/BarbieLifeInTheDreamhouse''. Barbie is just an average high schooler with a vlog.
