"These "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" memes never get old. For this list, we'll be looking at the most notable Kardashian-Jenner moments from their iconic reality show and its spin-offs that took the internet by storm. Our countdown includes Kim's crying face, Kim peeking from the bushes, "a case for the FBI," and more!

#10: “You’re Cute Jeans”

This conversation is a great introduction to Kardashian-style banter: a random subject plus extra attitude equals a hilarious and pointless conflict. And of course, it’s poolside, caught on camera for all of us to enjoy. When Kris misunderstands which “your” Kendall is using, the latter responds with an odd comeback that turns the simple exchange into a communication breakdown. As Kendall grows frustrated, the audience is left wondering “what just happened?” The meme can be used as a funny compliment or a low-key dig at the show’s not-so-deep content. Kylie Jenner even joined in on the fun later on!

#9: “ABCDEFG”

This phrase might just look like the beginning of the alphabet. But long-time fans of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” will be able to finish Kourtney’s signature line. A Kardashian original, Kourtney’s quirky expression left Scott Disick confused, birthing a beautiful moment. Many popular Kardashian catchphrases, like “Bible,” were commonplace in the show, but Kourtney’s random interjection was so out of left-field that it became a catchy classic. Hey, at least the Kardashian-Jenners are never afraid to poke fun at themselves, with Kylie and Kris later parodying the moment in an amusing TikTok.

#8: Kim Peeking From the Bushes

In a scene from season ten of “Keeping Up,” proud mom Kim watches on as her daughter North West is featured in a music video. Worried she’ll distract North if she’s seen but afraid to miss out, she decides to peer from behind a set of bushes. Her excitement translates into a perky expression that, let’s be honest, looks like all of us when we hear about the latest Kardashian drama. Kim’s eager face emerging from behind the shrubbery is the perfect meme for when you need a self-aware way to depict anything that involves being nosy.

#7: “A Case for the FBI”

You might not know that this iconic Kris Jenner momager moment actually originates from a serious moment documented on the show. When nude photos of Kourtney as a minor were accidentally misplaced after a practical joke, Kris was concerned for her daughter’s safety. Her response to the situation led to this famous quote. Since then, the image has been taken out of context and used as a way to overreact to obvious situations with complete bewilderment. Because if the Kardashians have taught us anything, it’s that drama is NEVER your fault.

#6: “Is That a Chicken?”

This moment never made it into an actual episode. Yet the deleted scene became just as famous as its on-air counterparts when it blew up on Vine. Kylie Jenner has accomplished a lot in her career. But nobody will ever forget the moment she mistakenly asked if the tiny pig Kris was holding in her arms was… a chicken? Kylie later clarified that she knew the difference between the two species. She explained that the mix up was a result of her poor vision and the fact that she and her mom had discussed getting a chicken. Regardless, her confusing reaction is still hilarious.

#5: Kim’s Crying Face

Kim’s unfortunate crying face is seen in many episodes of “Keeping Up.” But even those who don’t follow the show would recognize the ugly-crying Kim from her and Kourtney’s short-lived spin-off series. Among the most famous Kardashian images, Kim’s expression of agony is a reaction meme classic. She’s even marketed it using original emojis known as “Kimojis,” and it’s been made into all sorts of popular merchandise. Even the tearful argument the face is from went viral as a popular TikTok sound. Like many other Kardashian memes, people use the theatrical sound to highlight their overly-dramatic reactions to daily life.

#4: “Would You Stop Taking Pictures of Yourself?”

In another “only the Kardashians” moment, Kris lashes out at Kim for acting carelessly during a tense family crisis. However, the latter is far too concerned with capturing her appearance to care about Khloe’s legal trouble. The quote itself pretty much sums up the situation, but the season three moment’s one-of-a-kind hilarity quickly made it famous. The meme manages to capture young Kim’s self-absorbed reputation and the show's dramatic, larger-than-life nature. The star went on to share the hilarious selfies online years later, and they’re just as great as we imagined.

#3: “Don't Be F***ing Rude!”

Another classic from the early days of the reality show, this meme was taken from a heated fight between Kim and Khloe. In an all-out valley-girl style brawl, Khloe tries to stop Kim from entering the room. So Kim storms in and starts hitting her sister with her fancy purse. The fight that started over a custom Bentley escalates from zero to a hundred quick, and this time the conflict goes beyond petty drama. The scene gained even more attention when the Jonas Brothers recreated it in an amazing TikTok where they mimicked the Kardashians’ gestures and tone. Honestly, they nailed it.

#2: “There’s People That Are Dying”

When it comes to over-the-top drama, this moment might take the cake. Kim is quick to panic after losing her diamond earring in the ocean. But Kourtney is quick to put the situation in perspective with her hilarious, yet still somewhat shallow, retort. The moment breaks down the show’s usual focus on the family’s lavish lifestyle and brings in some perspective. Well, as much perspective as you can ask for with the Kardashians. It’s safe to say that not everyone can relate to losing expensive diamonds on an island vacation. Yet at the end of the day, the out-of-touch and inconsequential drama is what makes the show fun. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. “…But as Her Manager” Kris Isn’t Like Other Moms Kim Under the Duvet We’ve All Been There Kris on Her Computer She’s Glued to That Screen Running a Business The TikTok Sound for True Businesswomen

#1: “You're Doing Amazing Sweetie”

Motherly encouragement gets a Kardashian twist when Kim poses for a skimpy Playboy photoshoot. Kris, camera in hand, cheers on her nearly nude daughter, and her famous quote still echoes through pop culture over a decade later. The expression is commonly used in memes featuring videotaping or “proud mom” energy. You can even find Kris herself referencing the iconic scene in Ariana Grande’s music video for “Thank U, Next.” The quote became so influential that Kris reportedly had the phrase trademarked, adding yet another viral moment to her media empire.
