Barbie/YMMV
< Barbie
- Awesome Music: Surprisingly, Princess Dreams. From Barbie And the Twelve Dancing Princesses.
- I Am a Girl Like You, from The Princess and The Pauper, is pretty nice, too.
- Funny Moments: This exchange from Life In The Dreamhouse.

Barbie:(To Nikki) Raquelle can't be that devious! |

- Stacey stirs together an egg carton, a box of flour and a carton of milk and puts it in the oven. What comes out? A perfect cake!
- Ken somehow turns Stacey's bike into a robot!
- Canon Sue: Barbie's Canon Sue starts to be averted with the movies, while being played straight with the dolls, especially Teresa and Grace.
- Chelsea is Barbie 2.0.
- Finally acknowledged in Life in the Dreamhouse, from the characters description alone she qualifies as a Purity Sue and Mary Sue Classic.
- Complete Monster: Gothel from Barbie as Rapunzel.
- Copy Cat Sue: On top of being unrealistically perfect, Barbie jumps into whatever latest fad there is— there was even a Trollz Barbie! (Same perfect body and face, of course, only with Troll hair.) Her movies are also often taken from existing fairy tales but with Barbie as the star.
- Ear Worm: She's the QUEEN OF THE WAAA-A-A-AVES!...
- Fashion! Fashion! Fashionistas!
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Major Mint and Captain Candy from Barbie in the Nutcracker, the first Barbie movie.
- Fashionista's Artsy.
- Skipper, too.
- Raquelle.
- Girls Need Role Models
- Les Yay: Barbie and the Diamond Castle was practically built on this.
- Mary Sue: The doll has been portrayed as a doctor, a princess, and god knows how many other professions. And she's meant to be the epitome of female beauty. And everyone loves her.
- The Problem with Licensed Games: They are made for little girls, and almost none try to reach beyond that.
- Especially the ones with interesting concepts, you'd think a Barbie designs stuff game would manage to be entertaining.
- Retroactive Recognition: Maureen McCormick, AKA Marcia Brady, appeared in a few Barbie commercials during the 1960s.
- Relationship Sue: Ken, in the playline and the original movies. A Fashion Fairytale averts this.
- So In Style's Darren is this one for Grace.
- Tastes Like Diabetes: Averted Trope with 'Barbie in a Fashion Fairytale', which begins with her getting fired and goes downhill from there (She gets better).
- Values Dissonance: Among other things, Barbie's and Ken's first commercials each end with Barbie getting married.
