The media team at Turf Moor have been on top form this summer with their spoof transfer clips including a superb Tweenies effort.
But their latest version sees the Clarets take an extract from the new Barbie movie before confirming 20-year-old Ramsey’s arrival from Aston Villa.
The video, captioned “He’s Kenough”, shows the original Barbie and Ken – played by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling – and a host of the other variations saying “hi” to each other on the beach.
The camera then cuts to Ramsey, leaning against the goalpost in front of a bright pink football pitch.
The waving midfield star says: “Hi Burnley!”
Barbie looks confused before Ramsey corrects himself: “I mean Barbie! Up the Clarets!”
The post was published at 9.30pm on Tuesday night and has been viewed 3.5million times within the first 12 hours.
One fan said: “This is gold.”

And a final user replied with a Simpsons meme reading: “Stunning. Absolutely stunning.”
Ramsey – brother of Jacob – completed his move after 12 years with Aston Villa, joining the club at Under-9s and winning the FA Youth Cup in 2021.

The England U20 international, Burnley’s 11th new summer signing, said: “I’m absolutely buzzing. I have been waiting to be a Burnley player for a while now and I’m really happy it’s all officially done now. I can’t wait to get started.
“I can’t wipe my smile off my face. When you come to a new club you want the lads to welcome you in and everyone here has done that straight away. It’s been really easy to settle, everyone has been amazing.”
