Line 28:
* [[FBI Agent]]: {{spoiler|An agent from the Feds alerts Mattel about the incident where Barbie and Ken venture into the real world. The Mattel staff later recalled an incident where Skipper escaped from Barbieland and moonlighted as a babysitter.}}
* [[Flat Character]]: Sort of an in-universe example. The protagonist is one of hundreds of Barbies, and seems to be the most generic of all of them. Despite this - or maybe because of it - she is the one who starts to gain a sense of [[Medium Awareness]].
* [[I Choose to Stay]]: {{spoiler|At the end of the movie, Barbie chooses to stay in the real world, believing having all the downsides associated with being human (including negative emotions and morality) are preferable to living the same day ''ad infinitum'', no matter how happy it may seem.}}
* [[Intimidating Revenue Service]]: Ruth Handler makes light of how the IRS screwed her over (in actuality, it was her issues with alleged financial falsification that got her into trouble with the SEC, not the IRS; it's likely that the writers changed her criminal record in the film as tax evasion is something most audiences are more familiar with).
* [[Klingon Scientists Get No Respect]]: Weird Barbie is an outcast in Barbieland simply because she is, well, weird and unattractive, despite being a sort of oracle who is more than willing to help the protagonist. {{spoiler|Unlike most examples of this Trope, it ends happily, with the the heroine convincing the other Barbies to apologize and accept her back.}}
