[LizOMFGcookies]

LOL Ken looks like a dork

[Jantv81]

You can tell he's not much of a talker.

[swaggagirl2009]

[NinjaMuffinMaster]

Ken was so cute and innocent back then..

[KaydeyRai]

Why did barbie have a big dent in her face? she has a very strange profile @ 0:16

[Darkdarkseel]

i had one when i was a kid...lol jk

[aliedesuacido]

well the first barbie is 15000 dollars so the first ken is probally like 13000 idk

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

I don't collect barbies or nothing but I can understand why people love the old ones. The clothes are so nice as well.

[iluvsummer246]

aww the "genuine" ken! sooo cute!

[peanutplays]

Ken was such a whimp back then.

[ScreamxxBabe]

When did they stop putting those tags to tell that they were genuine Barbie dolls or Ken dolls.

[bookworm13130]

lol white trash :)

[TheLinnAndFridaShow]

Ken's hair looks like Sutton's - the male MyScene doll - hair.

[mfuarcefriul]

I bought one for 200 $

[Delilahxo09]

pshahahahahahahahahahaha

[MondoBeno]

Ken looks like one of the Kennedys in this commercial. Nowadays he looks like a gigolo. When did he go from being a closet-creep to being an all-out sleazeball?

[menchiiscute1]

Fraternity parties woo!!

[Jantv81]

the perfect b-friend cause he doesn't talk.

[kimicole95]

haha

[chocofreak68]

hahahaha!

[Ambecatproductions]

My grandma has that

[PunkpeeweProductions]

omg ken's short were sooo short haha

[LadyVixie]

o-o parties 'ey

[porksorts]

haha. they broke up in 2004. i heard them announce it on the radio. and then they showed "break-ups of the year" on the oscars(i think) and barbie and ken were part of it. it was funny.

[Cherrysweetdeal]

Do you think ken saw the divorce 47 years later? "Now ken comes with divorce papers and his suitcase full of clothes. Also includes 20 dollars so he can start a new life"

[verticalstripes27]

"and remember! you can tell its mattel! it's swell!"

ahh i wish they made more commercials like this.

[iDance1234]

"BARRBEYY'S BOYYFRIAND"

haha! XD

love how she says that!

[GreekandTwilight]

those must have been some frat parties

[JawsVictim]

Haha oh yes. They all went to the drive-in burger joint, drank "Pop", and then ended the night singing at the piano! Those crazy Teens!

[GreekandTwilight]

why wont it post

[GreekandTwilight]

frat parties thats so funny. they must be some frat parties

[GreekandTwilight]

they can go to kappa tau and really party

p.s. by kappa tau i mean a frat on abcfamilys greek. WATCH GREEK!!!!

[playmeri]

I used to draw a mustache on my Ken dolls.

[Dave87tube]

Why draw one when you can get Mod Hair Ken? haha

[GreekandTwilight]

i would love to see barbie and ken at kappa tau

[nerty90]

oh so cute

[EmmaRobertsLuvR]

Think of all the fun you'll have taking them on dates, dressing each one! (I thought she was gonna say dressing each other)

[nekocatgirl]

I love the older barbies..their so classy looking..their really beautiful. I alway's wanted a barbie from this time in porcelian.

[robotrevolt]

You can bring them to frat parties!

[BishopHatto]

Kens face looks like Curious George.

Barbie doesn't need that bozo when brother has GI Joes lying around.

[kimicole95]

haha so right

[Edlearn1234]

WOW

AMAZING

HAHAHAHA

I <3 THE TAG

[PinkkTechno]

who plays with barbies now?

i remeber when i really wanted th ebarbie that had the family and the house and the mother was pregnat i always wanted that one i dont mind if i got it for christmas

and i remember when i wanted the barbie that had that dog where when you fed it something it poop it out OHHH man i stilll want that thing

[XOcheeseburgerOX]

LOL

his bathing suit was sooooo short!

[logom0]

Ha ha i love upper class stereotypes

[boubou0000]

i love barbie's striped dress. lol

[eLTeProductions]

I love it too. Damn Barbie gets all the cool clothes! ;)

[Eseercam]

It could've lead to wedding but it didn't. I think Ken was afraid of commitent. I mean look at all those times barbie got a new bridal dress but she never got married. Her friend Midge got married & had to kids before her. It could be the fact that Barbie has had almost 50 different carrers maybe she was the one afraid of commitment. But hey if she wants a baby around her unseen parents could have a baby. Her parents must be older than dirt cosidering Barbie's 1959 B-day.

[TwiggyMarshmallow]

Good god Ken was ugly back then.

[mediate27]

That's what I was thinking:

What the hell is wrong with his face? D =

lol

[Pooky896]

My mom has one those dolls. original tooo

[sakurachan922]

didnt ken and barbie break up?

[quizmaster85]

Yes, but only temporarily; Ken was "replaced" by some California-based doll called Blaine (well, from what I read on Wikipedia just now)

[royalsgurl10131]

ken is ugly

[sassysmarts123]

i herd that a few years ago barbie and ken broke up

[waqarnadia]

" You can tell it's Mattel, It's well" LOL

[kaylalalajayy]

i think that they say swell not well.

[OpalGirl345]

Ken looks weird! OMG! Aaaaah! hes kinda creepy 2!

[petie71]

I wish I had perfectly tailored clothes of unmatched quaility. Sigh ...

x

[kayleigh1998]

wow... He looks like Archie (out of the "Archie Comics") and "Barbie is "Betty"!!

[ACandKC]

ken is blonde!! hahha

[freestylegirlzz]

hahaahahah XD

[M4A1pwns]

ken was named after ruth handlers son kenneth

[M4A1pwns]

ken was named after ruth handlers(the inventer of barbie)son KENneth

[babyinblack]

haha aww, ken looked so different back then.

[TXRider]

Gee, those must be some tame frat parties...if aimed at the 5-10 set...but Ken looks like Fred from Scooby Doo. Eww.

[MISSRAVEN999]

My Barbie only had eyes for 1 man - Action Man! He was much more rugged and used to come home from the war in his tank dressed in his army outfit, scar and all! Much more manly than Ken!

[midreams]

this commercial is kinda freaky...I mean, compared to the Ken we have today. By the way, I agree with kayleigh-he does look like Archie

[sheliaisme]

did you notice that one of the places barbie and ken go together could be a fraturnity party?!? lol

[music895luver]

i love it when my friends and i made them kiss and thought it was gross..LOL

[allykat8675309]

[feelthehorror]

"You can tell it's Mattel, it's swell!"

[kiminonara]

[cinnamonbunsaregood]

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

[automoto]

[rongal6]

Ken of this time looks wird

[funkysnail]

Eeek frat party's and there much better then less tarty

[Lorenzio88]

Ken looks... like a tall 10-year old. His eyes are blank... no one's home...

[palexchick226]

40 years, they've had their drama, they got back together, right? they may as well be MARRIED.

[BarbieCollectors]

Yeah, they did get back together.

[kayleigh1998]

ken looks like Archie from Archie comics

[CraigWilloughby]

hi ken lol

[pinkskylie1]

Ken is ugly xD but the commercial is cute ^^

[mysticalelf233]

wow ken sure has changed

[shynsweetlilme]

heh, My Ken and barbies looked very differnt, growing up in the 80's and early 90's!

I only had one ken doll and an eric doll from the little mermaid, I had mainly girl dolls. I had so many...I had then saved but my brother popped thier heads and limbs off, I can't give them to any future daughter now.

Any one see a barbie with sparkly eyes?

[kazuma7]

haha, me and my cousin used her tuxedo mask doll from sailor moon as an extra ken....

i named my ken ben and called barbie barbra. and when "ben" got in that tragic accident that ended up decapatating him, barbra lived in a big house (meant for little people so they're were like amazons) with a bunch of children trying to move on.

[curlytoes79]

Ken looks like Howdy Doody

[headbangerbunny]

Lol. This is so funny and dated. but you gotta love it.

[dashboy696]

she is unique!! barbie forever!!

[wedgiepower]

Did she seriously just say they go to frat parties?

[Calumaritzu]

Yep. o_O Rofl.

[2cutepanda]

Ken is so ugly XD

[007angelwings]

every body you all are wrong barbie is better at this age ok please give me a coment back

[mysticalelf233]

i really like both

[angelikkittykat]

I love the part "you can tell it's mattel, it's swell!"

[dreamgirlmusic]

ken was hotter lol!!!somehow i had some barbies with the tags on them....weird....i wonder why

[dreamgirlmusic]

I think that barbie was prettier back then! i dunno i think she just looked so beautiful

[katkitty]

are you sure? i coulda sworn she dumped water on his head and yelled " sorry ken!" perhaps tney hads variations on that commercial?

[BarbieCollectors]

Hmm. I remember her kinking sand in his face and saying "Sorry Ken, dumped again!".

[katkitty]

I remeber when they broke up! i was shocked! It was funny watching ken get a bucket of water tossed in his face though! Glad they got together again, though.

[BarbieCollectors]

??? I remember Barbie kicking sand in his face, not a bucket of water...

[tag132]

they broke up....whats all this about, im confused

[BarbieCollectors]

No. They arent broken up anymore..

[preciousjewels89]

haha fraternity parties..they'd never say barbie and ken went to those in this century!

[Titanicfan001]

Do you know if the titanic barbie is in stores right now?

[BarbieCollectors]

Yes, she is. That doll should be at Wal*Mart & Toysrus stores and other toy stores that carry Barbie Dolls. :)

[GoddessLola]

Ken and Barbie Broke up after 43 years of dating in 2004. They never actually got married!

[BarbieCollectors]

They did make a new Ken in like, Feburary, for Valentines day so they could get back together. Ken & Barbie used to act like a weird couple, they used to dress alike, and hang out. But, Cali Girl Barbie broke up with him and dated Blaine in mid 2005, another guy she knew for a long time, since collage or something. Anyways, when they made the new Ken, he got a new look & Barbie got back with him...

And now Blaine's a nerd. Haha.

[Cathy2110]

super ! merci !

[BarbieCollectors]

Your welcome.

[pasfresh123]

what year did they meet?

[BarbieCollectors]

1961 :)

[iluvjensen]

aww this is so sweet

[trollo]

This is one of the most cute Barbie's ads, the last part about the weddin is amazing.
