For over a decade, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” has delivered some of the most jaw-dropping, meme-worthy, and endlessly quotable moments in reality television history. Whether they’re fighting over a photoshoot, losing $75,000 diamond earrings in the ocean, or serving up legendary one-liners, the Kardashian-Jenner clan has redefined what it means to be iconic. Here are the top 11 moments that made us gasp, laugh, and sometimes even cry—proving once and for all that nobody does drama (or comedy) quite like this family.

1. The Scheduling Showdown: Kim vs. Kourtney

It’s not a true Kardashian episode until a sisterly spat erupts. One of the most infamous? Kim and Kourtney’s blowout over a photoshoot. Kim’s frustration boils over as she tries to wrangle the family’s chaotic schedules:
“If no one’s going to be ready on time, and I’m lingering around, I’m leaving at 4:00 p.m. and I don’t care what anyone says!”
Kourtney’s laid-back attitude only fuels the fire, leading Kim to deliver the now-legendary burn:
“She’s the least exciting to look at, so she can be out.”
Ouch. Only in Kardashian-land could a photoshoot become a battleground for ego, ambition, and sisterly shade.

2. “Maybe If You Had a Business…”

Kim’s work ethic is unmatched, and she’s not afraid to remind her sisters. When Kourtney questions Kim’s priorities, Kim claps back with a line that instantly became reality TV canon:
“Maybe if you had a business that you were passionate about, then you would know what it takes to run a business, but you don’t, so don’t even act like you know what I’m talking about.”
It’s the kind of savage, meme-ready moment that only Kim could deliver—reminding everyone who really runs the show.

3. Kris Jenner’s Pep Talk: “Scare the Living Daylights!”

When the family faces criticism, Kris Jenner knows exactly how to rally the troops. Channeling her inner mob boss, she urges her daughters to toughen up:
“You need to get the world scared of you and you need to set the tone… We’re not doing this to Kris Jenner anymore. We gotta change the tone here.”
Momager, motivator, and master of the dramatic speech—Kris always knows how to stir things up.

4. The Paris Robbery: Kim’s Nightmare

Not all iconic moments are funny. Kim’s harrowing account of being robbed at gunpoint in Paris is one of the series’ most sobering scenes.
“My heart started to get really tense… I saw two guys holding another guy down in police uniforms right outside my bedroom.”
Kim’s vulnerability in reliving the trauma showed a different side of the show, reminding viewers that behind the glam, the Kardashians are all too human.

5. “My Diamond Earring Fell in the Ocean!”

Who could forget the Bora Bora earring meltdown? After Kris playfully throws Kim into the ocean, disaster strikes:
“My diamond earring came off in the ocean and it’s gone!”
Kim’s tears are met with Kourtney’s now-iconic deadpan:
“Kim, there’s people that are dying.”
It’s a moment that perfectly captures the absurdity and hilarity of Kardashian life—luxury, loss, and a little perspective, all in one scene.

6. The Fashion Fights: Who Gets to Wear What?

Fashion is serious business in Calabasas, and no one knows this better than the Kardashian sisters. When Kendall feels left out because Kylie gets first dibs on outfits, the claws come out.
“I just feel really underdressed… and everyone bows down to Kylie and lets her wear whatever she wants.”
Sisterly rivalry, couture chaos, and the eternal struggle over closet space—welcome to the Kardashian household.

7. “You’re the Least Exciting to Look At”

Kim’s savage takedown of Kourtney during a family feud over a photoshoot is so iconic it deserves its own entry:
“She’s the least exciting to look at.”
The phrase instantly entered the pop culture lexicon, cementing Kim’s status as the queen of reality TV shade.

8. Security Overload: Kendall’s Birthday Bash

Kendall’s sweet sixteen takes a turn for the bizarre when her dad insists on metal detectors and earpieces for all her friends:
“I’m so upset that my dad is making all my friends go through a metal detector. It’s so embarrassing.”
From hoodlum jokes to full-on security detail, the Kardashians know how to turn even a birthday party into an unforgettable spectacle.

9. Celebrity Cameos: Cardi B, Ariana Grande, and Kanye West

The Kardashians’ A-list connections are legendary. Whether it’s Kylie making her music video debut with Cardi B or Kim getting a text from Kanye to check out the new Dash store, the family’s celebrity Rolodex is unmatched.
“I was literally praying to the Lord every night… that’s the highlight of my career!”
From set visits to surprise appearances, the Kardashians are never far from Hollywood’s biggest stars.

10. “I Pretty Much Started This Entire Family”

Leave it to Kim to remind everyone of her role as the family’s original star:
“I pretty much started this entire family. No one would be anywhere or anything without me.”
It’s a moment of self-aware humor that only Kim could pull off—equal parts truth, bravado, and tongue-in-cheek fun.

11. The Power of Makeup: Kylie’s Lip Kit Legacy

Kylie’s beauty empire began with her love of overlining her lips:
“I love overlining my lips. This is how it all started—literally, I just overlined my lips and everyone was wondering what I was using.”
From viral lip kits to billion-dollar deals, Kylie’s journey from little sister to cosmetics mogul is one of the show’s most inspiring arcs—and proof that a good lipstick (and a little hustle) can change everything.
