Ryan Gosling saw Ken and said "literally me"
@@KaleighCeemore like leaning straight into it
@@KaleighCee Cope harder
@@KaleighCeewell maybe the people who say it unironically, but as a meme this has propelled it to new heights
He said "just like me fr fr"
The barbie backlashes has convinced me that ryan is still stuck in bladerunner's "literally me" era.
I love how he isn't taking any of this remotely seriously.
Seems pretty serious to me
It's definitely a role that's meant to be taken as a bit of a joke. Greta Gerwig and the cast are brilliant though so I think this is gonna be one of those films that people go into thinking it's a joke but it actually ends up being really fun and compelling
If it's perfect with the role
Part of the marketing plan. They probably had meetings about how to portray this character to help the movie.
@@CommanderLost were you trying to say "it fits"? 😂
"Ken has no job, has no house, has no car"
He's literally me!!!!
I am ken!
Shit me 3!!!
yall are so kenough
I'm ken too
Iam ken 2
"I shall be your Ken" lmao
Ken will be your huckleberry
"He is an accessory." It is deeper than he probably intented it to be.
Oh, I think you underestimate Ryan Gosling. I know I have. I think he's Canadian. Like Kiwis, there's often a disarming, unaffected civility we Americans take for blandness.
@@toninatoli Maybe I do. I was not expecting such observational awareness.
Go watch the movie ;)
@@toninatoli1000%
No, I think he meant it exactly as deeply as you took it
I love how he saw one picture and said "thts literally me"
He got that bit from the sigma boys that do the same with him, ironically
can't believe he actually is literally me
Scripted
Driveception.
Mr "me fr fr" found his own "me fr fr"
Dry humour Ryan is the best thing ever.
Oscar awards from a few years ago. His banter with Russell Crowe as a presenter was HILARIOUS 😂😂😂
Ryan is a national treasure
He is canadian 🇨🇦

“He’s going through some stuff”. 🤣😂
Him and I both.
😂😢😂
He literally is in the movie 😂😂😂
lol got me dead 😂💀😭
Ain't we all?! 😅
I need Ryan gosling to recreate that picture of Ken face down in the backyard 😂😂
omg yes
With that huge ass lemon 🍋
Hahaha!
Little advice from Simu Liu
I mean technically Barbie does 😂😂
It takes a SUPER secure man to be willing to play Ken in a Barbie movie. I applaud him 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He is so secure in himself that he married old woman🤣. Loser.
The man fundamentally understood the purpose of a Ken Doll: he's nothing more than an accessory.
But he related and he identified with that, which is why he played the role to perfection. 😂❤🎉
All the Kens in the movie are Kenough.
I definitely felt the Kenergy. 😂❤🎉
And you know where I found Ken ? Face down in the mud next to a squished lemon.
And I thought, "Yep. This is me." Lol
I think that the logical implications of that is that everyone that is male is nothing more than an accessory, which is an allegory this movie strongly alluded to.
To be face down in the dirt next to discarded lemon wedges, and think, "This is me. This is my place." Such is the Way of the Ken.
Underrated✨I wholeheartedly agree
😂😂 This comment wins.
The Tao of Ken
I think Toy Story deserves credit for addressing that Ken is an accessory.
😂
This made me laugh harder than it should've
I couldn't find the clip, but basically, Mr Potato head yelled at Ken, "you're not even a real toy. You're just an accessory!!"
😂
I Agree !!!
He then proceeded to play one of the best characters ever. Like he was genuinely amazing.
“He’s an accessory” that really hits deep.
When we were little my older brother used to get jealous of me and my older sister playing barbies; to help him feel included one Christmas my mom bought him a chauffeur Ken doll for our barbies and a new pink limo. His eyes actually lit up. He didn't complain, he happily was our chauffeur/butler. He was just excited that he would be included when we got out the barbies. 😂
Edit: This is the first time I have shared a story of us since he passed last year. I am happy that it brought joy and smiles to people that needed it.
This is such a sweet story
What a cutie ❤
Aaaaaw!!! That’s awesome!
That’s so mf cute I’m literally crying in my shed rn
Siblings goals❤
His comedic skills are not being utilized in Hollywood i think
The Nice Guys was one of the only times I can think of
He is Canadian apperantly all of them are naturally funny Ryan Reynolds, Jim Carrey and this dude
The Nice Guys and Crazy Stupid Love made me realise how funny he actually is and I'm so mad there isn't a Nice Guys 2
Nice guys was hilarious lol
@@MA-yc7pz Seth rogan. Keanu reeves. Mike myers. Nathan fillion. And many many more. Our main export into the US isn’t wood or maple syrup, it’s talent lol
Bruh Ken really has the best arc in the movie
I love Ryan Gosling. His portrayal of Ken is amazing and perfect.
Ryan keeps playing the "tragic hero nobody cares about" characters
👏
xcept he wasnt really a hero in the movie😭
@@burntalphabetsoup6772 yeah he was. If it weren't for him the Ken's wouldn't have gotten rights and would still be living in a Barbie dictatorship.
Bladerunner 2049 😢 **Flashbacks**
Drive
Before seeing the movie, I thought Ryan was just taking the piss out of this whole movie promotion 😂 But now that I have seen the movie, I am just amazed by how truthful he has been to these interviews!!🤣🤣
It kind of shows the genius of it lol. Everyone expected a campy and flashy movie that didn’t take itself too seriously, but the movie uses that and portrays an actual message
Love you 😍
When he said "they never play with Ken" I felt that
My sister is a huge fan of the Barbie dolls and Gosling was right, Ken was barely used. He had no profession whatsoever like Barbie, just a simple boyfriend material unlike Barbie who can do a lot of jobs
@@k-master973Which is?
@@Katya_Lastochka The world is messed up, women are always taken advantage of and underappreciated or pushed into unrealistic expectations as always, and it needs fixed. People need to open their eyes, It’s not people being too sensitive, It’s just people being dicks and ignoring the problem because they’re either men who don’t understand the problem because they don’t have to deal with it, or they’re women who have given up. The back in my day shit needs to end, because we need to make the world better for future generations not hold onto old “ traditions” that cause harm.
He was honestly the perfect person to play Ken and proved all of us doubters wrong with his performance
Ken literally needs his own spin off movie
But that defeats the statement "I am Kenough". 🙏
I think "Barbie" is about Ken more, than the toy itself from the first look of this picture. We definitely need spin off... Kenoff😅
While Ken was pretty awesome, I don't think a spinoff makes sense or would work. His entire plot line is:
Since the Barbies have all decided to go play Forever Young Sex in the City Girlboss and reject motherhood entirely, thereby committing genetic Sue as side, all the Kens with their billions of years of evolutionary programming to want to be useful and appreciated (an essential trait for fatherhood, especially during pregnancy and when kids are small), he has absolutely no purpose anymore.
He just wants to fulfill his purpose, and he can't, because the Barbies rejected theirs.
His story, stuck in the Mouse Utopia as one of the Beautiful Ones, can't exist without the Barbies story. He's kenough exactly how he is, there's just nowhere for that to go.
He probably isn't going to find or invent a purpose outside of that, because the immortal part of Ken and Barbie that is alluded to at the end of the film IS their tradition gender roles.
=>
That's where the individual human dream becomes the immortal dream. That's where Atman is Brahman, the individual soul/consciousness IS the cosmic soul/consciousness.
"What am I made for?" 🎶 plays over consecutive video clips of children. 🤔
The dream will end for the individual, and without playing out their immortal roles, the 3.5 billion years of individual dreams on the evolutionary tree of life leading up to them comes to an end. They are kicked out of the garden for picking the wrong fruit, and will surely die.
That's the story. The end.
(Sure, one in a billion Kens could invent new Physics or something instead, but probably not since a Barbie took his spot in the workforce and education, so really all he has left is prawn and xbox and beach.)
Who's gonna pay to see that movie?
Maybe he can get with Barbies younger cousin Skipper or something and thus no longer be there when she's 46 with a 6 figure salary, a house she bought herself, wine, anti depressants, cats, cellulite and flat feet when she finally decides maybe she wants Ken after all. But she is instead stuck writing long blog articles with titles like: "Where Have All the Good Men Gone?", and "Men are sgip who rob the cradle because they can't handle a real woman their own age and have to manipulate much younger women." Etc etc.
While that movie might find a few laughs, it's already being done to death on mens forums and channels all over the internet for free. It doesn't warrant two hours of Ryan Gosling singing about it and that would probably out stay it's welcome.
Nah, it was exactly Kenough exactly for what it was.
@@TheJeremyKentBGrossYou need help. I hope you don't live in the U.S. with that attitude. Who are you to tell everyone how to live their lives?
@@TheJeremyKentBGrossGod forbid you be useful by changing diapers instead of hoarding all the wealth and power. GTFOH.
"For his story must be told" is one of the best movie captions ever.
In Life in the Dream House, Ken tries to get a job but in the end he literally says being Barbie's boyfriend is his job.😂😂 Ken is a sugar baby and proud of it.
Edit: I have never seen this much hate against women in the replies. It's ironic that people want to be excepted as they are but are not willing to except others. People want to be respected, treated fairly, seen. Then they turn around and refuse to see others that are different than them in any way, to treat them fairly, let alone respect them. Men have done a lot in history, but so have women. There are many reasons why you don't learn about the women in history is because history is written by men. In most "civilized" or "advanced" cultures men only see women as things, as decoration, as baby makers. There are several areas of anthropology where seemingly mysterious practices are solved when looked at from a woman's perspective. In theater there are many stage hands that makes the show run smoothly, who don't take a bow when the curtain falls. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they weren't there. So go ahead and take comfort, that on the Internet no one can see you and you can be as toxic and hateful as you want.
He invents stuff tho. It's my fave series. Life in the DreamHouse even parents can enjoy it
HAHAHAHAHA
With how many jobs she has I bet it IS tiring to be her sugar baby so he deserves that bag💀🤣
As he should
trophy husband lol
When I was a kid, my sister and I loved our Ken dolls! We had so many Barbie’s but we wanted the stories we made up to include brothers and fathers like our own stories. We used other dolls to make the brothers and whenever we got a new Ken doll he was renamed and thrusted into our stories along with all the other Barbie’s. To me, Ken has never been an accessory and I’m glad so many more people get to see that now.
Yes! My Ken was a part of every plot I came up with. He was a loving husband and a good father ans he was just family. I don't know, I always appreciated Ken 💁♀️😁
He really was born to play it too lmfao, he wasn’t lying
He should be in more comedy films. It‘s natural for him.
He was amazing in The Nice Guys
@@hue.main1 Yes!!
watch The good Guys with him and Russell Crowe- they are great 😊
He prepared for the questions,
@@xt-cj7jg Prepared or not, his delivery is always on point and he's able to make us laugh. He is one of those people who are naturally funny. A blessing.
Putting the exact amount of seriousness into the role.
Hilarious.
He's just epic in this movie. One of the greatest things about it imo.
Get this man an Oscar
Ken is literally me.. like literally me.. it's Ken time
You're married to a hot blonde who's rich?
Good for you man
Deadass no money no car no house
I’m sorry that no one plays with you
Hang in there buddy!
Fr fr
Actors have to stop taking things so seriously. This is a man who doesn't need to "method" act. He just shows up and has a good time
True enough, but I gotta say that he obviously created a backstory for his character. And he was likely laughing to himself the entire time. It's the perfect balance. 😂
@@MatthewSmith-zx6uk no that's literally what ken the doll is. barbie is the one having 300 jobs, a mansion, and a shit ton of other doll friends. ken's whole thing is just being her boyfriend (sugar baby) lmao
No shit huh! They nothing more than professional liars. Fuck these actors
@@joonkorre its really funny watch (mostly cis men) find out that Ken meant less to most little girls than any of her friends, Skipper or DJ and Taffy (the dogs). Especially once they started releasing full animated Barbie movies in the 2000s. Ken is only really in modern shows, particularly since most of the oldest films are like "Barbie in Swan Lake", "Barbie in the Nutcracker", etc. with scoring from the London symphony orchestra
@@blkophelia honestly. my 7-year-old self had 5 girl dolls just to make them kiss, not once did i even think of getting a single ken doll. kinda hilarious tbh
He's enjoying himself with this at least and I love that. It's like a big meme to him.
it's time for all ken to be united
we are not accessories
Why didn't Barbie ever get pregnant? Because Ken comes in a different box
Oh God no, no!
I have never laughed at a CZcams comment before, thanks man 😂😂
OMG!
*OR MAYBE BARBIE'S ON BIRTH CONTROL OR MAYBE KEN IS GAY. DUDE SURE LOOKS GAY.*
Underrated
"she's everything, he's just ken"
🗿
Literally me
Yep in another world he'll be a ten but he's just ken
And we elevated barbie.. i bought ken but day2 he never left the toy box.

"I shall be your Ken" 😂😂😂 I want to be friends with dude so much, he seems like too much fun, but in a low-key way so you're not exhausted every time you're graced by it--rather, you cannot get enough of it. Ever. Ryan Gosling, if your interviews are any indication of your genuine everyday self--WELL DONE as a person, sir! And congratulations to your family and everyone else who is lucky enough to know you personally 👏👏👏
Ryan Gosling was the energy of that movie! He’s why I watched it. You made your girls proud
My daughter has “Fashionista Ken.” Last I saw him, he was planking on top of the babies because “it’s his job to protect the babies, mum.” Ah Ken. Doing a good job mate 😂👍🏻
I see she's good at making up excuses 🤭
That's right. Protected by the patriarchy.
Sounds like a Barbie's perfect fantasy world 🤣
Planking on top of the babies lol.
The visual 😅😅😅😅
We love a humble himbo
🤣🤣
🤣💀💀
🤣🤣🤣
Ryan made this movie. He is fantastic.
he really was born for this role^^
Most accurate thing I’ve ever heard: Ken is just an accessory.
Another one spotted
Go back to your Bland
I think you misunderstood the song and the new banner for MGTOW: I am Kenough
Ryan Gosling's dry humor cannot be underestimated 😂
Honestly one of the funniest characters I have seen in some time. Ryan has a real comedic genius
I could watch that movie over and over, for different reasons! I think it's a great movie!
If my girlfriend was making as much money as Barbie does and absolutely killing it?? I’m staying home!! Let her do her thing, Ken’s gonna chill!
Ken's gonna beach!
Sugar Baby Ken!!
And she'll be cheating on you in a heartbeat
Bro has no dignity 💀
Watched it. Did they seriously have no house and no high paying job. I'd like to hear what others think about it?
He totally understood the assignment 😂
I played with Ken 😭 He was the dad and every love interest 😭
Ken is Barbie's support, always there, somewhere, very important to be there for her. 😂😊
I hope at the end of the movie, the camera pans out to show kids playing with Barbie.. and Ken face down next to a squished lemon 😂
Yes 😂
I wheezed at this comment. I hope this is how the movie ends now.
He does that pose
Ken has the sugar mama of all sugar mamas
Except Palm Beach Ken. Palm Beach Ken has aged into Sugar Daddy Ken.
Ryan Being Ken was the very BEST part of that movie!!
❤🫶👱
Ryan Gosling saw Ken and was like "He's literally me"
I have to admit, at first when i heard they were going to make a Barbie movie, i thought nothing of it. Then i learned who was in the cast and later who was directing it, and now i am thinking that this could actually be really interesting.
I think this will be a "Lego Movie" situation, where it seems like a money grabbing toy commercial on first look but actually turns out to be pretty awesome.
@@DerMoerpler , i hope so. It could be good.
@@DerMoerpler or it could be the complete opposite, where we expect it to be a good movie and it turns out to be a bland one. I hope it's worth our time and money though..
@@aasthade0309 Idk if you know of any of Greta Gerwig's work lol
@@aasthade0309it is a greta gerwig movie though so i don’t think it will be bland especially with a cast like this

The movie said Barbie, BUT we were all there for KEN! Ryan you brought this “accessory” to life!
Thank you! ❤
Ryan knows what’s up with his character 😂😂😂
****what's down with his character
He really has the Kenergy for the role and I love how much you can see that in every interview with him about the movie
Ken is the best part of this movie. Ryan was hilarious
I like in the movie Barbie gets asked “where does Ken sleep?” And she was like “I don’t know? I never thought about that…”
I feel like Ryan Gosling is underappreciated.
His salary for the movie was literally about 22 million, the same as Barbie... I don't think he's underappreciated 💀 or at least not underpaid
@@Laura-dn1zx I meant by fans and viewers..
@@codelz187 Nah he has a huge following. Drive is considered one of the great modern movies.
@@AndI0td763 i mean comedy wise. Hes a funny dude.
@@codelz187 Yes he was great in the nice guys. I think many are aware that he has serious range.
Ryan knew what he was doing during the shooting of this movie, making him arguably the best character in the whole movie
Ryan Gosling is a treasure! A real down to earth laid back guy!
He’s actually perfect for the role
Dude I am so hyped for this movie, love Greta, love Noah, love Ryan, and if he's saying that this is the best script he's read, after everything he's made! This is gotta be crazy

I LOVED him as Ken, basically elevated the movie to a new level.
Ryan Gosling As Ken
I love him 💝💞💗💓💕💖💘
I've always believed that Ryan Gosling is the modern day Freddie Prinze Jr. Both possess such charisma, suave, and funny personalities. Ken reminds me of Fred.
That is actually a really good observation. I can see it!
Even tho they are only a few years apart in age
Agree with you 🙂 But what happened 2 actor Freddie Prince Jr? Hope he is still alive ❣️
My kid only played with Ken but she named them all Joey. 😂
Sounds like Aussie barbie
And He nailed it.what a impactful performance has been given by him.
He did amazing, honestly I think it was his best performance that I've ever seen. The movie was so good, funny and unique and just well thought out.
Gosling needs an Oscar for his performance
Really.. than the Oscar means nothing
@@southernbarflynot necessarily. Character actors, of which he is in this movie when he’s normally a lead, can steal the whole movie. I believe he did that with Barbie. He was subtle and brilliant. Compare this situation to that of Silence of the Lambs. Do you remember the actress who played the lead role more readily, or do you first think of Sir Anthony Hopkins who played Hannibal Lecter, a character who had a mere 25-ish minutes of screen time? Hopkins won an Oscar for that tiny role. It can happen. Art is subjective.
Ken it’s just the ultimate sugar baby and we love to see it
Yes and so relatable to the girls or people dealing with a Ken character like whoa.. he's amazing though love it. He has to deal with Barbie though too.
Ryan you brought infintely more depth to Ken!...loved ya man!You are the best.....
Ryan’s comedic chops are remarkable!
Aww, Ryan Gosling! Hands down the most good-looking Ryan in Hollywood, imo.
Ryan Gosling finally had his “literally me” moment!!
He took the role to support and defend Ken & is really showed through the film in an amazing way. Ken is the hero of this film
Ryan Gosling is a Great Story teller...and great personality❤
This is how i know the role is in good hands
I want a whole Ken movie!!! Ryan was funny as hell!!!!
He'll become gay in the end.
yessssss❤
“Theres always been a ken inside me” and then he unhinged his jaw and pulled out a ken doll
He did an amazing job 👏
He understands the role completely
"There's always a ken inside me"
Indeed he was born to play this role. I never watched anything with Ryan in it until that movie. And he kills it
I never knew I needed Ken before Ryan Gosling. It is Ken and Barbie. Love this guy. He brought a deeper meaning to a tan, plastic, beach doll.
His subtle humour is everything 🥹🤌✨
I saw Crazy Stupid Love recently. He played such depth in that character as he evolved emotionally throughout that movie . So Funny, when they go clothes shopping and the Steve Carell character opens his velcro wallet. That expression!
He RAN with this Ken role - he definitely "told" it 😅
He’s never serious. I love it.
Definitely one of the most charming actors ever.
This man needs to do a shit ton more comedy. If you seen “nice guys” you know why. Man’s comic timing is awesome.
Impecable
Nice Guys was a ton of fun, though a mess of a movie. It was one of his break-away roles at the time.
@@gerbendekker3273 a “mess”? Naaaaa. Cmon man lol…I know it’s subjective and all that but which parts were a mess to you? Genuinely curious. Thought it was a great film. Tad longer than necessary. Ending coulda been better but for the most part it was really good (IMO)
Gosling and Crowe though. The collab we never knew we needed lol.
@@colinharris615 Not a mess as in, the parts of the whole were badly made. The pacing was irregular and it went from 0 to 100 throughout the movie. I enjoyed it very much though, it was good to see him do something different at that time, and the pairing with Russell Crowe was great I think
@@gerbendekker3273 yeah. I think I agree on the pacing issues. There were scenes that weren’t really necessary to include. Ngl Gosling surprised the shit outta me with his comedic timing lol.
But yeah. I think I mostly agree. There were scenes though that were perfect. Like when he breaks his arm 😂 fuckin hilarious.
