Before there was Barbie, there was Mermaid.
In the process, one TikToker came across oldPortlandiafootage that may hint atBarbies true origins.
TikTok user ghostsamanthaposted a clipfromPortlandiaSeason 5, Episode 7, Doug Becomes a Feminist, on Aug. 9.
Concerned, Toni and Candace convince Gerwigs character to show them the script so they can give feedback.
Go back and surf.
And thats all we see of him.
Did greta gerwig get the idea for barbie from portlandia????
ghostsamantha wrote in their video.
Their caption added, like thats literally ken????
Many commenters were sold on the theory thatBarbies plot essentially came from thePortlandiaepisode.
Another devotedPortlandiafan notedthat they had been wondering the same thing.
Kens job is beach, NOT surfing,one clarified.
It led to debate over semantics.
Ken DOES surf yall,someone argued.
Whatever the origins of GerwigsBarbies plot, the writer-directorhelped the Mattel project get back on trackwith her ideas.
That said, theyd probably still think there was more than Kenough of the men.
