Keeping Up 20 Iconic Kardashian TV Moments We're Still Not Over
Now nearing the end of Season 15, Keeping Up With The Kardashians is officially one of the most iconic reality TV shows of this era, if not of all time. Love them or not, the Kardashians have left a colossal imprint on the millennials who grew up watching their crazy antics and still tune in to see what the clan is getting up to.
There are probably very few people in America who can't name at least one member of this family, which is synonymous with fame. And the memorable family is becoming even more successful as each year passes both in terms of their notoriety and their bank accounts.
Although they've come a long way from where they began, every now and then fans love to re-visit some of the funniest, most ridiculous and most memorable moments that the Kardashians have been through over the years.
While they've certainly grown up, some things in this family never change, like the way they love and support each other (when they're not tearing each other apart), and the way they can always laugh at themselves when things get to be too much.
Check out this list of those KUWTK moments that still make fans laugh, cry and more.
20 Kourtney Gives Birth For The First Time
As of 2018, the matriarch of the Kardashian family, Kris Jenner, is the proud grandmother to nine grandbubs! This year Khloé gave birth to True, and Kylie had Stormi. Rob's ex, Blac Chyna, gave birth to Dream in 2016. Kim has North, Saint, and Chicago with husband Kanye West, and Kourtney has Mason, Penelope, and Reign.
But Mase was the first baby to continue the next generation of this family, and his 2009 birth was documented on KUWTK.
Some images even came from father Scot Disick's personal camera. Kourtney completely changed the game by being the first to pass on those Kardashian genes.
19 Rob Doesn't Tell His Sisters About His Engagement
Some might say that as the only brother among three sisters and two half-sisters, Rob is like the black sheep of the family. And tension increased when he started dating Blac Chyna, since she shares a child with Kylie's ex, Tyga. But it all really hit the fan when the sisters found out that Rob was actually engaged to Chyna. It wasn't the engagement that upset them, per se, but the fact that they had to find out about it online rather than from their brother. The cameras caught the confrontation, and let's just say that there was little to no chill involved.
18 Kourtney Refuses To Be In Kim's Game
There have been quite a few sisterly fights over the years where we've gotten to know the first family of Calabasas more closely. One of the more recent but no less tense was when Kourtney refused to be part of Kim's famous game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, in the tenth season of the show.
The eldest sister was adamant about not being involved in the game unless she was paid for it.
Kim didn't react well to her sister's decision, and metaphorical shots were fired. This was actually the iconic argument were Kim claimed that she bought her sister's job for her.
17 The Sisters Fight Over Kim's Bentley
The trio of Kardashian sisters have been known to bicker, but the first major fight we saw occurred in the second season in 2008 during the episode The Kardashian Civil War. After things get complicated as Kim tries to buy a Bentley, Kourtney and Khloe come to blows with their sister. Kim accuses her sisters of being rude during her business deal, while they condemn her for not defending them. Kim later calls her sisters jealous and the confrontation turns physical when she hits Khloe with her bag. It's been ten years, but we're still not over this tense moment!
16 Kim Confesses To Kourtney That Her Marriage Isn't Working
One of the biggest Kardashian moments that made headlines around the globe was the 2011 wedding of Kim to pro basketballer Kris Humphries. Of all the Kardashian relationships, this was perhaps one of the most famous because Kim's marriage lasted 72 days, leading many to speculate that the whole thing was just a charade to increase ratings on the show.
Charade or not, it was an emotional moment when Kim admitted to Kourtney that she knew her marriage wasn't working out.
She was struggling between staying unhappy and disappointing everyone she flew out to the wedding. Of course, ending a marriage is no easy decision anyway, especially when the cameras are rolling.
15 Rob Gives Kendall's iPad To Chyna
With all the tension surrounding Rob's relationship with Chyna, it seemed like any little spark could set off a huge emotional explosion between him and his sisters. Things became really intense when Rob gave his then-girlfriend an iPad that Kendall had given him for a Christmas present. With Kylie's support, Kendall had it out with her brother over the phone about the iPad. “Rob is dating someone that has kind of had a bad history with my family, on top of it, it's totally annoying to find out on social media because his girlfriend posted it,” Kendall explained in an interview.
14 Scott Is Super Rude To A Waiter In Las Vegas
The lord himself, Kourtney's ex-partner Scott Disick, has certainly been up to some entertaining shenanigans throughout the series' 15-season run.
Now, Scott can get away with what most people can't, purely because he's Scott Disick.
But one of his less cool moments was when he totally forgot all human decency and shoved money down a waiter's throat during Kim's birthday party in Las Vegas. This was after threatening the waiter, mind you. Kris has asked the staff to stop serving him alcohol at that point, and his overindulgence was the main theme during the Season 4 episode.
13 Kourtney Gives Kim A Reality Check
It's never fun to lose your jewelry, especially in the ocean where you know you're never getting it back. During a Kardashian vacation to Bora Bora, Kris Humphries picked up Kim and threw her into the sea in an attempt to have some fun. But in the process, her diamond earring fell out, leading Kim to have a full-on meltdown. What really made this moment iconic, though, is when Kourtney gave her sister the ultimate reality check by reminding her that people don't have the same luxuries elsewhere in the world. Always trust Kourt to inject a healthy dose of reality back into this family!
12 Kris Tests Out A Real Coffin
There's pretty much nothing that the Kardashians and Jenners won't try once. In one particularly morbid 2012 episode, Kris tried and tested a real coffin.
And while she was there, she made like a true Kardashian/Jenner and took a selfie, which she later sent to her family.
Can you imagine getting that from your mom? This is the kind of thing that would never happen in the lives of regular people like us but is just commonplace for the Kardashians. In the end, Rob threw Kris a party to celebrate her life and convince her to stop worrying about the eventual future.
11 Kim Records A Song She Will Later Call Her Biggest Regret
Speaking of trying anything once… Before she was married to one of the biggest stars in music, Kim gave a shot at breaking onto the music scene herself. She collaborated with The-Dream and recorded a track called "Jam: (Turn It Up)". Later, Kim admitted that doing this song was her biggest regret, and confessed that she knows her voice isn't good enough to earn her a career in music. The song was a flop, but that didn't stop Kim from rubbing shoulders with the biggest names in the industry and still making waves at huge music events, like the Grammys and The VMAs.
10 Kourtney Makes Fun Of Kim's Crying Face
The Bentley saga that occurred in the second season was so intense that it carried on for more than one episode.
In an effort to get all her daughters on good terms again, Kris Jenner went and did a Kris Jenner thing by organizing a family ski trip to Colorado.
Because when siblings can't stand each other, the way to fix it is to force them to hang out, right? While at the ski lodge, the whole family turned on Kim, leading her to toss Kris's phone from the second floor of the house before crying. And this is the first time Kourtney made fun of Kim's now-infamous crying face.
9 Kris's Lips Swell In The Dominican Republic
Nowadays, the Kardashian-Jenner clan is known for having enhanced lips. But it seems that momager Kris Jenner had a head start on all her daughters back in 2012. During a trip to the Dominican Republic in Season 7, Kris suffered from a food allergy that caused her lips to swell up. And we mean really swell up. Most kids would sympathize with their mom in that situation (nobody likes being sick on vacation!), but being the Kardashians, the clan subjected Kris to quite a bit of teasing. Kim even told her mom that it looked like “your lip is going to explode.”
8 Kim And Kourtney Joke About What Comes After Baby
Now that four out of five of Kris Jenner's daughters are moms, the family casually and openly talks about birth-related things that might make others feel a little awkward.
Kim and Kourtney played a prank on the rest of the family by feeding them all a mystery meat.
Then they claimed it was what remains from the process of giving birth that they'd bought online. This was inspired by Kim's idea to consume her own placenta after having her baby. At the end of the episode, the sneaky sisters put everyone at ease by revealing that the meat was actually just beef.
7 Kylie Does A Dance In Kris's Bedroom
The 2007 pilot of the show seems like it aired a lifetime ago rather than just over a decade ago. When we first met the family, we knew they were a little nuts. Each member quickly showed off their individual quirks, with youngest sister Kylie making waves that she hasn't been able to live down since. In the episode, Kim installed a pole in Kris's bedroom, and Kylie seemed totally drawn to it while mucking about with sister Kendall. “Look what I can do,” she said as she made her way toward the pole at just nine years old. Memories!
6 Kanye Proposes To Kim
The relationship between Kim and Kanye West is one of the most famous in Hollywood. In the ninth season of the show, the rapper turned up the heat on their secretive dating life by proposing to Kim in front of the cameras. Blindfolded, Kim was led out onto the field at AT&T Park in San Francisco on her 33rd birthday.
Kanye got down on one knee, and then a message on the Jumbotron read, “PLEASE MARRY MEEE!!!”
After Kim said yes, her whole family joined them on the field to celebrate. This was probably the very moment Kanye learned that when you marry one Kardashian, you marry them all.
5 Kris Adopts A Monkey Named Suzy
Now that she's got nine grandchildren, Kris Jenner is probably finding it easier to deal with the fact that her children are all grown up and don't need her to care for them anymore. But there was one episode when she was really struggling with empty-nest syndrome and adopted a chimp named Suzy to fill the void. Sadly, Suzy didn't end up staying with the Kardashian-Jenners for very long, since she proved to be quite a handful and caused total chaos in the mansion. Kim later released shots of the family and their temporary chimp online, receiving backlash from animal-lovers.
4 Kim Takes Selfies As Khloe Goes To Jail
In the early days, Khloe had a hard time dealing with the loss of her late father and strayed off the straight and narrow path a little. She was arrested for DUI in 2007, and in the third season of KUWTK, she violated her probation.
While driving her to turn herself in, most of Khloe's family was present and discussing the crucial issue at hand.
Not Kim, though. Instead, she was documenting the experience through her digital camera and taking a ton of selfies. This prompted Kris to utter her now-iconic lines: “Kim, would you stop taking pictures of yourself? Your sister's going to jail.”
3 Kylie Won't Let Kendall Borrow A Dress
The two Jenner sisters, Kylie and Kendall, always stuck by each other's side in the early seasons of the show. But they've have been known to have their arguments too, and one of the most memorable took place in 2015 when Kendall wanted to borrow one of Kylie's favorite brown dresses. When Kylie denied her sister's request, a huge fight broke out between them. Kendall took things to a different level when she used some totally offensive language to describe her sister to her fur babies. We're not sure what's more annoying: sisters who always borrow your clothes, or sisters who won't let you borrow theirs.
2 Kim Opens Up About Taylor Swift
The Kardashians may argue among themselves, but when one of them gets involved in a feud outside the family, the siblings tend to rush to their defense.
One of the most famous public feuds Kim Kardashian has been involved in is the Kanye and Taylor beef that has been playing out ever since Kanye stole the star's moment at the 2009 Video Music Awards.
Though she'd been friendly with the superstar in the past, Kim wasn't afraid to open up about her experience in front of the cameras. She gave her story and her truth about Taylor on the show, upsetting quite a few Swift fans.
1 Kim Crosses The Line In Her Fight With Kourtney
The most recent and groundbreaking Kardashian fight broke out over the 2017 family Christmas shoot. Kim was trying to coordinate everyone's schedules, but Kourtney made it clear that she didn't want to disrupt time with her family to spend all day at a photo shoot. Fuming, Kim lost her cool and shouted some pretty rough things at her older sister, accusing her of being the least busy and most annoying of the sisters. “She's the least exciting to look at, so she can be out,” Kim said, before making Kourt cry. The fighting even continued over Twitter as the episode aired.
