The Most Out of Touch Things the Kardashian Sisters Have Ever Said
Let's be honest: As much as we love the Kardashians, they aren't the most in touch with reality. It's not like they've ever had a chance to be -- since they were born, they lived a life that most of us will never get to experience. And as they've grown, they've each built their own careers and empires that afford them even fancier lifestyles, and that leads them to say some pretty ridiculous things (especially Kim Kardashian). It's not their fault, exactly -- they just have no idea what real life is like for people who are less privileged than they are. In the early days of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, things were a little less insane in their personal lives, so the most outrageous things that happened were similar to that time that Kim was taking selfies while Khloe Kardashian was being carted off to jail.
But now that their net worth has climbed to new heights -- and now that Kendall and Kylie Jenner are older, the Kar-Jenner clan's collection of ridiculous quotes seems to be growing by the minute. They're always saying the kind of things that make you want to pat them on the head and say, "Oh, aren't you adorable?"
Here are the most out of touch things the Kardashians have ever said. As much as we absolutely adore these sisters, when it comes to this kind of stuff, we just have to laugh. As unaware of reality as these women can be sometimes, you have to admit that their take on the world is so entertaining.
When Kim Had No Idea a Pickle Was a Cucumber
Kim tweeted this gem in 2010, but it's still just as funny now as it was then. We doubt Kim ever had to worry about where pickles or cucumbers came from, so we not surprised that it took until her adult life for her to realize that they are, essentially, the same thing. Hopefully someone explained the process of pickling to her, or she's in for a shock when it dawns on her that you can pickle things that aren't cucumbers, too.
Khloe's Magical Sparkle Phone
We've always known that Khloe loves her bling, but did you know that apparently, it comes with magical powers? In an interview with Elle, Khloe once said, "My bling phone makes business calls nearly stress free.” Um, we need to know where she got her magical phone and how we can get one, because if there's a phone out there that's going to make work stress free, we're willing to pay anything to get it.
Kim's Choice in Child-Friendly Cars
When they decide to start a family, most moms start looking for a safer vehicle with plenty of space for all the gear that babies need -- and usually, they end up with some kind of minivan or SUV. Not Kim, though. In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2015, Kim revealed her child-friendly car of choice, and it's not even an option for most mothers.
"I love, love, love a Rolls Royce," she said. "I know this may sound bratty, but I'll own up to it: it's the best car if you have kids, spacewise. It's low, and I like a low car to put in the car seat and the baby."
We're sure a Rolls Royce is a nice car for your kids, but who can actually afford one?
Khloe's Diamond Dust Art
In the same interview where she talked about her bling phone, Khloe also revealed the big piece of decor in her closet was a painting of Marilyn Monroe ... and the finishing touch was something totally outrageous.
"Diamond dust glazed over the top layer of paint was something I didn't even know was possible," she said. "This painting adds so much glamour to my house; I will have it forever!"
Diamond dust. On a painting. Who knew?
Kim's Outrageous Comment About Labor
Kim knows the drill by now when it comes to bringing kids into the world -- she did carry two of her three kids, after all. She was also always open up about how much she didn't love pregnancy, but one of her comments was a bit over the top. On an episode of KUWTK in 2013, she said, "If labor’s worse than this, I’ll hang myself. I’ll literally take a knife and slit my throat."
What? That is nothing to joke about.
When Kylie Was 'Realizing Things'
In her 2016 review video, Kylie proclaimed that it had been the year of realizations -- she just didn't exactly specify what. "I feel like this year is really about, like, the year of just realizing stuff. And everyone around me, we're all just realizing things," she said.
Oh, Kylie. She had the opportunity to realize stuff at her leisure, but the rest of us just have to take it as it comes.
Kim's Casual Comments About Barack Obama
The Kardashians get to rub elbows with just about anyone -- no one's off limits. And back when President Barack Obama was still in office, she made an offhand comment about him in an interview with E! News that really seemed to drive the point home that she truly lives a different life than the rest of us.
"I had dinner with [Obama] once, and he just seemed very firm about the change, and that’s, like, his motto," she said.
Khloe's Incorrect Warning About Sharks
On an episode of KUWTK, Khloe once said, "Don't go into the ocean while on your period, because a shark is going to attack you." First of all, that would be a very violent way to go, and second of all, that quote is not exactly accurate. We can't help but wonder if Khloe is still avoiding the ocean during that time of the month to this day? Maybe she should have taken better biology classes. Sigh.
Kim's Thoughts on Hair Removal
Kim loves laser hair removal -- that's never been a secret. But once, she made comments about how necessary it is that definitely had us scratching our heads.
"I am Armenian, so of course I am obsessed with laser hair removal! Arms, bikini, legs, underarms -- my entire body is hairless," she said.
So wait, all Armenians are definitely obsessed with laser hair removal? Probably not. After all, not all women choose to remove their hair in the first place.
Kim on Treating Herself
We all love to treat ourselves, and honestly, it's necessary -- we all work hard, right? A treat is well deserved ... or at least a break to chill from the stresses of normal life. But Kim takes "treating herself" to a new level.
"I buy myself a gift every year, and this year I bought myself everything I wanted," she once said.
Must be nice!
On What the Worst Problem in The World Is
There are a lot of evils in the world: the immigration crisis, starving children, the growing homeless population. But Kim's idea of what the worst thing that can happen is has to be one of the most out of touch things she's ever said.
“I hate when women wear the wrong foundation color. It might be the worst thing on the planet when they wear their makeup too light," she said in an interview with the Toronto Sun. Really, Kim? The worst thing on the planet?
When Kim Refused to Go Shopping in a Certain Car
Unless you're buying, like, a month's worth of groceries, it doesn't really matter what kind of car you take shopping -- unless, of course, you're Kim Kardashian, because then, you have a few preferences. In an episode of KUWTK, Kim once got upset with Kourtney when she wanted her to get in a huge truck she was driving around, saying, "I can't, like, go shopping in Beverly Hills in this car," she said.
And, of Course, the Episode of 'KUWTK' We'll Never Forget
"I rented a monkey for my mom for the week," Kim proudly announced, heralding in one of the most ridiculous stunts she's ever pulled. We don't even want to think about how much that must have cost, but we have to admit it did make for an entertaining episode.
