New Barbie TikTok trend explained Warner Bros.A new trend is taking TikTok by storm as users are showing off their \u201cKen\u2019s jobs\u201d. The trend is clearly inspired by the new Barbie movie, but what does \u201cKen job\u201d actually mean? Here\u2019s everything you need to know. Greta Gerwig\u2019s Barbie made history with an opening weekend that hit $356 million globally, making it the biggest debut for a film directed by a woman. With its message of empowerment, Barbie has been rebranded to relate to a new generation. And according to Rotten Tomatoes\u2019 86% approval rating, most audiences are listening. And while the Barbie movie has caused some couples to break up, for others the gag has inspired a cute TikTok trend where IRL Barbies share their Ken\u2019s jobs. But what does that mean? What is the \u201cmy Ken\u2019s job\u201d trend on TikTok? Inspired by the Barbie movie, the \u201cmy Ken\u2019s job\u201d trend on TikTok has users show what their male partners would be if they really did live in Barbie Land. While Ryan Gosling\u2019s Ken\u2019s job was \u201cbeach\u201d (no not, lifeguard, just beach), people on TikTok have now taken the opportunity to tell people about their Ken\u2019s jobs, which include \u201cbike\u201d, \u201cfly\u201d, \u201cfish\u201d, and \u201coffice\u201d. In one video, TikTok user andiinbloom showed her partner in scrubs and wrote: \u201cEveryone\u2019s showing their Ken\u2019s job. My Ken\u2019s job is hospital. He came with scrubs and a matching lanyard. Barbie loves her Hospital Ken.\u201d In another video, TikToker thelifeofjaim showed her partner packing a bag while dressed in a buttoned shirt that was tucked into his trousers. Jaim wrote: \u201cEveryone is showing their Ken\u2019s job. My Ken\u2019s job is Computer. He loves his job and is proud of it. He came with his own textbook and backpack. \u201cI don\u2019t exactly know what it is, but it keeps him busy and doesn\u2019t annoy me for 8 hours every day.\u201d Let\u2019s be honest, does anyone really know what their Ken\u2019s do when they leave the house and go to work? Or even when they sit a few metres away at their desk? We think not. The \u2018What\u2019s Your Ken\u2019s Job\u2019 trend is a playful spin on this ubiquitous truth and a way for us to continue the ongoing Barbie fever.
