It's a Barbie Queue for BBQ. And like with any queue there probably won't be enough left for whoever is last.

Recycledwax on May 07 '07 hot!
|
 |
where's Ken?
|
 |
Pretty funny. 4
|
 |
Well done!!!
|
 |
They're all naked!
|
 |
arzie13 on May 07 '07 Hilarious!!!
|
 |
*LOL* I love it... $5
|
 |
i know Barbie is a ditzy blonde, but even she would wear a silly apron to grill.
|
 |
why do people complain about every single design with nakedness!?! Barbie isn't even anatomically correct! what's the problem? Are you worried about seeing her non-existent genitalia? Did you never change your Barbie's clothes when you were little for fear of seeing a boob and going to hell for it.
|
 |
I'm guessing Ken is the patties.
|
 |
castle on May 07 '07 best pun I've seen in a while!
|
 |
I agree with Castle - pretty awesome!
|
 |
this is great, and the colors are awesome - best that they're naked.
|
 |
nice.
|
 |
This is really clever. LOL.
|
 |
HAha
it's funny |
 |
danrule on May 07 '07 ha!
|
|
hehe...cute
|
 |
goldkiss on May 07 '07 yes !
|
 |
too much of a good pun
|
 |
(matthijs) on May 07 '07 Cool, reminds me of the Soundgarden video.
|
|
antosh on May 07 '07 The reason they are not clad is because any clothing would distract from the idea and make them look human-like rather than Barbie-like.
Even the youngest of kids have seen and have touched a nude barbie before, so I don't think nudity here is a problem. Otherwise, glad you like it. :) |
 |
Great! 5£
|
 |
i don't have a problem with the nakedness, but i feel like barbie would want to at least accessorize :)
|
 |
Wouldn't wear it myself but know several who would.
Great concept, great design. |
 |
i like the pun, but i find the lack of clothes/apron/accessory to be distracting. quite genius!
|
 |
Mr Rocks on May 07 '07 Nudity rocks. I should know, I am nude right now...
$5. |
|
Very clever and great drawing! $5.
|
 |
I love this!
|
|
I like this (in borat voice)
Will you be my boyfriend |
 |
huebucket on May 07 '07 hahaha, this is super pun! $5
|
 |
Ste7en on May 07 '07 Awesome. I too am reminded of sound garden and the melting barbies.
|
|
antosh on May 07 '07 Laser101- High wife, I mean - high five(in borat voice)
|
 |
jpiatt on May 07 '07 This is fantastic. I hate puns normally but this is good! Great style, great look to it, anyone who complains about nude plastic dolls is a bigger prude than my grandma. Well done sir!
It's especially funny because for a girl to look like Barbie, there's no way she could eat! |
 |
I'm still laughing
this really shouldn't be so funny |
|
i ADORE how they each have different hair
i hope it wins, good luck!! |
 |
Edword on May 07 '07 good one!
|
 |
witty but ill never wear it
|
 |
quite clever! 5
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on May 08 '07 I like how they're all on their tippy-toes like the real dolls are shaped! not that i have ever played with them, i've just seen them in my friends rooms when we were kids...that were girls. Yes, girls. Anywho, love the concept, but maybe on a green shirt?
|
|
I still think we need ken, you know doing the bloke-ish thing and never leaving the bbq alone, and maybe wearing an apron with a barbie body printed on it ;-)
|
|
antosh on May 08 '07 I wasn't sure whether I should use him or not at first. I had Ken with an apron there but decided to delete him for the final submission. Gotta follow the KIS formula, keep it simple. All else I believe is distruction from the main concept.
Also, I didn't want the art to appear smaller on the tee and adding Ken would mean that I would have to either make the art smaller or shorten the B. queue to fit it all in. The longer the queue the better, the more it looks like a queue. So it was decided against Ken, I hope you will agree with me:) |
|
yeh i do really, take what u are saying, K.I.S.S.
|
 |
this pun is so bad, i've eaten my Action Man
|
 |
i count two puns (barbeque, queuing) - clever.

Best thing I've seen in a while. |
 |
HA! Nice job.
|
 |
Ouch! What a pun! But too subtle.
|
 |

|
 |

|
woops. i meant yay this is love.
|
 |

|
 |
Jemae on May 08 '07 Pretty HOT design! =)
|
 |
ok now this is funny 5
|
 |
lol, that's great :D
|
|
I have to honestly say that I dont hate this as much as your other puns! :-)
your artwork is good. and I dont think nakedness applies to inanimate objects, therefore not a problem. |
|
antosh on May 09 '07 Thanks Blandford, so I am hoping that instead of a zero I at least got a 1 from you this time? :)
|
 |
LOVE IT! I think they should be BBQing hot dogs. Just hot dogs.
|
|
uh. Genius? I think so.
|
|
Antosh.. this design is wonderful and I agree that their nakedness makes them more barbie like and less human like.. I feel sorry for the barbie at the end :(
|
 |
PUNS! HORRAH!
|
 |
great idea!
|
 |
awesome idea
|
 |
greatest pun evar 5$
|
 |
barbieque! Ahaha. I love how you can see all kinds of commentary on the unhealthy ideals on beauty, if you want to, but it's also just a great pun, and a great illustration. Fantastic!
And they are CLEARLY plastic toys not real women, so so much about "nudity". |
 |
To answer BigCog Ken is practically non existent in almost all Barbie marketing sections in present times.
As are all forms of male Barbie dolls. Even the MyScene men that came in a few years back have gone again. Love the execution of this. $5 |
 |
thINK on May 10 '07 Very very well done! Nice colors, nice style, nice work! 5$
|
 |
looks great! $5 in spite of the bad pun....
|
 |
dacat on May 11 '07 PRINT $5
|
 |
yeah! 5$
|
 |
I (heart) puns. Way clever.
|
 |
Haha, it took me a second to even realize until I read the first comment. That's funny. Like the artwork 5$
|
 |
BubuSam on May 11 '07 Clever stuff! Way to go
|
 |
i like this a lot cuz my barbies never had clothes. i always lost them $5
|
 |
kaloyster on May 12 '07 Party (w00t-w00t)!
|
 |
I agree about the accessories.. adding some fakey barbie shoes and little earrings would be cool :)
|
|
maybe a bikini? 4$
|
 |
I'm smelling a print
|
|
anyone who said they aren't nude because they are objects is pretty stupid. That is a naked female form, whether or not it is a doll. I don't have a problem with nudity, but I do have a problem when the only nudity present in a forum like threadless is objectified female nudity.
this shirt?-- their nudity is gratuitous. The way you drew their forms is enough to show that they are barbie dolls. Them being naked doesn't add to that. So they are naked for no reason, and I dont think that helps the design. "I thought about putting ken in with an apron on"? why no full frontal for Ken? lol. give me a break guys, I am halfway kidding, but for real, don't rationalize this stuff as a backlash to so called "hyper sensitivity". |
 |
this is fuckign funny
|
 |
Haha. My mom wants one. $5
|
 |
I hope lovelyplayfello is either kidding or drunk on a Sunday morning.
|
|
not kidding yo.-- do you have a response?
|
|
If anyone is objectifying women in this case it's Mattell. If there was clothing on these dolls they would still be objectified representations of women. That's what Barbie is! Literally!
Hiding the "Barbie-ness" (gigantic boobs, joint seams) would make them read less as dolls and diminish the pun. |
|
I don't have a problem with nudity
No, apparently you do. You've also somehow missed out on the numerous penis subs. |
|
I will admit I have probably missed some penis subs. My apologies.
I think you kind of argued off into a tangent-- If you want to discuss the cultural semiotics of Barbie in regard to the objectification of women and formations of negative body standards, we can do that later. (ooh snap big words, showing off, lets laugh about it) My point is, -- someone says they don't like the nudity so much, immediately someone calls them a prude, etc. I also couldnt let the "she is a doll, so she isn't really naked" comment go by. I still stand by my comment that they don't need to be naked to be read as Barbies. Which for me detracts from the design. Because it is gratuitous. can you point me to some penis subs? I am intrigued. |
|
swimsuits would work if you need the joint seems and figure, but what says barbie to me, and I owned a few, is ball gowns. Ballarinas, etc. I think anyone who actually had Barbies would get a kick out of seeing those old standards-- "My First Barbie", etc. just a thought.
|
|
Funny you should bring up semiotics. To paraphrase your own insult, anyone who confuses the signifier and the signified is pretty stupid.
As for seeing the penis subs, just score more subs. Non-North Americans tend to sub more nudity because their cultures haven't loaded language about the human body with as much negativity as we have. |
|
touche--
point was, discounting the meaning and inference of a naked human form because it is an immanently objectified signifier (doll, inanimate object, etc) IS stupid. or IS A STUPID ARGUMENT to make. can we kiss and make up now? I feel bad for bogging down this sub.... |
|
antosh on May 13 '07 haha. there's nothing like a bit of controversy!!! still two days to go and already this sub has more comments then any of my other ones.
|
|
I am going to go start some sh*t on your other subs...... it's on.
|
|
lol
