Hi Barbies!! So, I saw Greta Gerwig’s Barbie last night, and OMG, life in plastic, it’s FANTASTIC!

The film is pitch-perfect, and while I expected the big laughs and colorful eye candy and Ryan Gosling’s amazing Kenergy, I honestly didn’t expect all of the heart. Barbie‘s waters run deep, y’all.

Truly, there is nothing that can be improved about this movie… with the exception of a drinking game, obvs!!! So get all dolled up, then grab your pinkest cocktail, and come on Barbie, let’s go party!

The Official FYA Barbie Drinking Game

Take a drink every time:

  • Barbie drinks air instead of actual liquid
  • Ken is ridiculous
  • You see the Pink White House
  • It sparkles on screen
  • Allan appears
  • An actor from Sex Education shows up
  • You hear “Closer to Fine”
  • There’s a dig at Mattel
  • You hear “Push” (the Matchbox Twenty song)

Take two drinks:

  • For Midge, because she can’t
  • For cellulite
  • For that killer NSYNC joke
  • For the dance / fight sequence

Take a shot:

  • The first time you see Barbie’s flat (gasp!) feet
  • For your favorite cameo
  • For Depression Barbie

Finish your drink:

  • When genitals are discussed
  • When Barbie drinks real water

Cry into your drink:

  • During Gloria’s big speech
