As the girlies have made it clear on TikTok: “Schmidt walked so Ken could run.” Max Greenfield’s iconic New Girl character has officially been linked to the Barbie movie because of a wildly fun parallel fans made between Schmidt and Ken. This detail has gone viral on TikTok, and people are having a heyday over the fact that Ryan Gosling’s character is wearing the same Western shirt Greenfield’s character dons in an episode of the Fox comedy.
Basically what I’m saying is “Schmidt happens,” and it happened to Ken. The New Girl fanbase is passionate, and it’s not surprising that they noticed this relatively minor detail. On top of this, Barbie fashion has been taking over, and it’s so fun to try and figure out how to recreate the looks from the movie. These two things combined plus the magic of the TikTok algorithm caused this video about the costume parallel to go viral, check it out:
