Contents 1 Setting 2 Characters 3 Video game 4 Episodes 5 References 6 External links Setting The series is set in a fictional version of Malibu, California, United States where all of its inhabitants are dolls. The dolls behave like people, though a number of the show 's gags rely on their doll - like nature. The series centers on the life of Barbie, her friends, siblings, her boyfriend, Ken and a number of pets. The series is stylized as a mock reality show featuring confessionals of the characters in between scenes. The show heavily relies on slapstick humor, and makes a lot of satirical and self - parody references to the Barbie doll line.
