The Most Popular Girls in School (abbreviated MPGIS) is an American adult stop-motion animated comedy web series that debuted on YouTube on May 1, 2012.

Created by Mark Cope and Carlo Moss, the series animates Barbie, Ken and other fashion dolls, usually with customized costumes and hairstyles, as various characters.

MPGIS follows the exploits of a fictional high school cheer leading team in Overland Park, Kansas and their friends, family and enemies.

[3][4][5][6] On May 1, 2018, Extra Credit Studios announced a sixth season to be in development, as well as a Patreon to crowdfund MPGIS in addition to new spin-off shows The Most Popular Girls in Quarantine, Keeping Up With The Van Burens, and Models.

Other storylines this season include Mackenzie's second-in-command Brittnay Matthews breaking up with her boyfriend Blaine only for him to begin dating her rival, foreign exchange student Saison Marguerite; lonely lurker Jonathan "Than" Getslinhaumer attempting to ingratiate himself with the football team; and unpopular student Rachel Tice's sinister plan to win the title of prom queen for herself.

Than, deeply in denial about his sexuality, begins a relationship with Brittnay, and later kisses openly gay football player Tanner Christiansen to prove he wouldn't enjoy it; he does, and immediately comes out.

Her newest scheme is to upset the school's social order by turning the student body into conformity-hating hipsters, which she successfully does with Rachel, Than and former cheerleaders Ashley Katchadourian and Jenna Dapananian.

Trisha, who turns to the works of Ben Affleck in times of crisis, helps the two friends reconnect, and reveals that she has manipulated events so that Shay will play an embarrassing video of herself instead of the planned one of Mackenzie.

The group are offered five-year modeling contracts, but, with the exception of graduates Trisha 2 and Cameron, they all elect to return to Overland Park for their senior year, where they vow to make Shay van Buren pay for her actions in France.

Other dolls used include Disney's, Ariel, Belle, Merida and Mother Gothel,[9] Finnick Odair from The Hunger Games, Tyr Anasazi from Andromeda, and Oscar and Evanora from Oz the Great and Powerful.

On May 1, 2018, Extra Credit Studios opened a Patreon to crowdfund MPGIS in addition to new spin-off shows Keeping Up With The Van Burens and Models.
