Keeping Up With The Kardashians ended in the summer of 2021 after 21 seasons. While fans were sad about saying goodbye to the reality series that had been a big part of pop culture for so long, the family didn't say farewell to the genre at all. Kim, her siblings, and Kris Jenner quickly began starring in the Hulu reality series The Kardashians, whose second season is currently airing. While rewatching all 20 seasons of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, fans can pick out some scenes that may be dramatic, may be funny, but are all unforgettable.
Scott Becoming Lord Disick
Keeping Up With The Kardashians featured several vacations over its 20-season run, and when everyone went to London, Scott Disick had the goal of officially being called "Lord Disick." He went through a ceremony and said, "Whether it's Sir Disick, Lord Disick, Count Disick — becoming royal is going to get me the respect I deserve."
This wasn't a moment that fans would soon forget thanks to how intense it felt. While Scott often called himself Lord, no one thought that he would really do this. While in England, Scott decided to purchase the title.
Kim Threw Kris's Cell Phone
Part of the enjoyment of watching KUWTK is seeing the family hanging out at home. While they often loved spending time together, there were many times when seemingly petty arguments ensued. In a juicy scene, Kim got mad at Kris for taking her cell phone and throwing it over the side of the couch. Kim said that she's going to throw Kris's phone into the toilet and said "If you don't want it done to yours, don't do it to mine." She then took the phone, walked up some stairs, and threw it over a ledge.
This became a memorable scene, as Kim was so angry that she said in a confessional to the camera, "It's what she deserves." Fans will always recall this memed moment because of Kim's strong statement and because this was another snapshot of a time when the family just couldn't get along.
The Diamond Earring
Losing one half of a pair of $75,000 diamond earrings is a huge loss for anyone, but when Kim lost hers in the ocean, her reaction and Kourtney's sarcastic retort created an unforgettable moment for the show. This was one of the most iconic Kim scene on KUWTK. Kris Humphries antics turned into a sobfest for Kim when he tossed her into the sea, dislodging the expensive earring.
Kim ran crying to her mother about the lost earring while young Kylie and Kris hunted for it in the ocean. Kourtney, who had been watching the saga unfold in silence, finally remarked that there are people dying while Kim obsessed over an earring she could afford many times over. It became a legendary moment for KUWTK fans.
Khloe Went To Jail And Kim Couldn't Stop Taking Selfies
The Kardashian sisters are no strangers to controversy, and Khloe's disregard for her court-mandated punishment ended with her going to prison for 30 days. She had been asked to go to driving classes after getting a DUI, but she missed two of them while vacationing in Australia.
The drive to jail was documented on the show, and viewers saw how nobody was really taking Khloe's jail time too seriously, especially not Kim. The Kardashians' lives and business revolves around social media, so Kim took the car ride as an opportunity to snap some selfies. The irony was that this happened in 2007 when social media wasn't a ubiquitous part of life, so Kim was really just interested in photos when her sister was off to prison, which Kris pointed out in amusing fashion.
The Pig Chicken
In a mistake that Kylie Jenner hasn't been able to live down, the "Is that a chicken?" line from season 8 belongs in the KUWTK Hall of Fame. Kylie had just become a homeowner, and she asked Kris for a chicken for her housewarming present.
Kris turned up with a swaddled baby animal that was definitely a pig. She called Kylie down to check out her new pet. In her excitement, Kylie said the now infamous line, thinking that her mother had brought her the animal of her dreams. Unfortunately, the pig was later returned, and Kylie's dream chicken, Eddie, was brought in instead.
Cute Jeans
Watching the interactions between Kris Jenner and her children was always a treat for fans, and this particular conversation between Kendall and Kris showed the obvious generational difference between the Boomer and Gen Z-er. Kris pointed out Kendall's "cute jeans," to which Kendall told Kris "you're cute jeans."
The phonetics confused her mother who then went on to ask Kendall repeatedly if they were her jeans, confusing "you're" with "your." The scene was rewatched so many times and became so iconic that Kylie and Kendall lip-synced to it on TikTok and Instagram in 2020, delighting KUWTK fans.
Kylie Being A Homeowner
Kylie Jenner bought her own home at the tender age of 20, but she didn't realize that owning a house comes with a task list of responsibilities and chores, which her sisters were more than happy to remind her about. Khloe, Kim and Kylie sat down to talk, and her elder sisters asked Kylie if she could do laundry, iron clothes, or knew about earthquake and fire insurance.
Kylie ended up overwhelmed by the questions because her upbringing was one of luxury, so she knew little about living on her own of keeping a home. This scene made for a great soapy watch, because in the midst of Khloe telling Kylie to protect her dogs from snakes, Kim threw in, "You need a really good gardener!" The scene wasn't just entertaining but emblematic of the Kardashians' privileged lives.
The Dress Fight
Kendall and Kylie got into mean squabbles often on KUWTK, but this particular feud over Kylie's brown dress devolved quickly into some adult language. The siblings were headed out to several shows and appearances back to back, and while getting ready at Kylie's house, Kendall decided to borrow a dress to wear later at the second appearance.
Kylie then asked Kendall to stop borrowing her stuff and get somebody to drop her own clothes off. This led to a heated face-off between the two, with Kendall cussing Kylie out in severe terms.
You're Doing Amazing, Sweetie
Nobody does momager better than Kris Jenner, and no situation is too awkward for the elder Kardashian-Jenner. She capitalized on Kim's infamous sex tape to launch the careers of all her children, and not even a semi-nude Playboy photo shoot could deter Kris from supporting her daughters in any way possible.
In typical fashion, Kris encouraged Kim during her Playboy shoot by saying the now famous line, "You're doing amazing, sweetie!" She even snapped her own videos and photos on a digital camera while Kim posed for the photographer. The phrase grew so popular that Kris has since trademarked it.
Kim's Ugly Crying
On KUWTK, the world witnessed Kim Kardashian's 72-day long marriage to Kris Humphries as well as the splashy ceremony to celebrate it, which cost a cool $10 million. In this scene, Kim apparently knew that her union wasn't going to last long. She wasn't letting her husband move his clothes into her home and couldn't speak to him when they were alone.
While this was a pretty sad moment on KUWTK, Kim's conversation with Kourtney and Scott became her most memed one, with her crying face being circulated around social media extensively. Kim felt bad for the huge waste of time, money, and effort, and fans keep coming back to this scene for a dose of pure Kardashian drama.
Kim Steals Kourtney's Dog
Kourtney and Kim have had more than their fair share of nasty arguments, but this playful moment between the sisters was a big win for fans. In the scene, Kim's sudden urge to steal Kourtney's daughter's dog and exchange it for her own pet made for great entertainment.
Kourtney turned up to Kim's home with Sushi and demanded her dog back, which led to an amusing chase around Kim's kitchen island. Kourtney even demonstrated an impressive talent for running in stilettoes around her home. The scene ended with the dogs returning to their respective owners, and Kim bizarrely threatening Sushi in a Russian accent.
Todd Kraines
Scott Dissick's alter ego Todd Kraines existed to prank Kris Jenner every time Kourtney, Scott, and Khloe were bored. Todd Kraines was a real friend of the family, but Scott used his name to call Kris every now and then to sing, "Hey, Auntie Kris! It's me, Todd Kraines!" till Kris got tired of the prank.
The real Todd Kraines showed up on the show too, and the running gag became so popular that Kylie Jenner released a Todd Kraines lip kit to commemorate one of the funniest and most rewatched scenes from Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
