In honor of the end of KUWTK, nine writers reflect on the moments in the family’s history that they think about a lot

Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Getty Images Over the past 14 years, the Kardashians have managed to completely overhaul celebrity culture as we know it. In 2007, the first episode of their Ryan Seacrest–produced reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians aired on E!, glomming on to the success of the first wave of reality television and Kim’s recently leaked sex tape.

I have to hand it to Kanye: He did a pretty good job as Kim’s stylist. In addition to keeping her abreast of the latest eyewear trends, he also brought her into the world of luxury high fashion as he established his own role within it. Before Kanye, Kim was shunned by designers and magazine editors. Together, they attended the Met Gala and made the cover of Vogue. Now, fashion is KimYe. Or, well, was KimYe.

It’s so very dramatic, so very D.A.R.E. The overstating of the point, the extreme staging, their obviously rehearsed line delivery — there’s a je ne sais quoi to this era of reality television that makes moments like these so perfect. — Aamina Khan Private planes then flew guests to Florence. Khloé was hungover and told her mom to “shut the fuck up” on the tarmac while trying to open an energy drink. She almost missed the flight.

Basically, it’s a perfect backdrop for the comedy stylings of Khloe and a single Kourtney, who was then on a break from on-again, off-again boyfriend Scott Disick. 2009 was a simpler time for the Kardashians, so the show was mostly the two partying in Miami, creating drama with the D-A-S-H employees, and making out with a lot of people. In episode two, Kourtney makes a new bisexual friend named Jackie, which the show manages to bring up a lot.

The Kit Kat video is the exact brand of innocuous trolling the Kardashian-Jenner clan has perfected. It’s the kind of fuckery where you think they might be in on the joke, but you’re not exactly sure. There is a glimmer of self-awareness but no hint of irony. It’s deliciously stupid and, like a Kit Kat itself, easy to mindlessly devour over and over again. — Mia Mercado
