00:00The Kar-Jenner clan is anything but normal.
00:03Reality TV stars, billionaires, international celebrities,
00:06but sometimes the fam likes to, um, step out of their comfort zone
00:10and live like common people to sometimes hilarious or embarrassing effect.
00:15We'll dive in and show you how.
00:17She just wishes that she could, like, just live a normal life.
00:21Number one, getting groceries.
00:24On a recent episode of Hulu's The Kardashians,
00:26Kylie Jenner and mom Kris decided to spend the afternoon doing normal things.
00:31I just think when I'm pregnant, I just want to feel really normal.
00:34And just what do those normal things entail, you might wonder.
00:37Well, for the Kar-Jenners, it's going to the grocery store,
00:41something that Kris Jenner admitted she had not done in two, that's right, two years.
00:46Kris tells the camera that the main reason why she hasn't shopped for her own groceries in so long
00:50is privacy, or rather the lack of whenever the family is seen out in public.
00:54As it turns out, the trip turned into an ecstatic experience for the mother-daughter duo,
00:59as things like pushing a shopping cart, spotting tater tots,
01:02and inserting their credit card into a chip reader was, as they put it, so fun.
01:06By the way, Kris didn't know how to use the chip reader.
01:09Womp womp.
01:10And beamed proudly as Kylie returned a shopping cart to its rightful place.
01:14You're doing amazing, sweetie.
01:16The comments on Twitter?
01:17Well, many were not so enthralled with the mother-daughter antics.
01:20As one commenter points out, I love reality TV because it's ridiculous and total escapism.
01:25But am I really watching Kris and Kylie marvel over grocery shopping and pumping gas in a cost-of-living crisis?
01:31Don't get me started on Kravis.
01:33This episode is unhinged.
01:36Number two, going through the car wash.
01:38And if Kylie and Kris thought shopping was a blast,
01:41you should check out their total wonderment as they go through a car wash.
01:44Much to her surprise, Kris got to even sit inside the car as they went through the wash.
01:48This is like Disneyland.
01:50No doubt car washes are cool, but Disneyland?
01:53How out of touch can you be?
01:55And while the episode garnered all sorts of reactions from viewers,
01:58ranging from outrage to amusement, there is something, well, sad about it all.
02:03As if being disconnected from the rest of society deprives you of simple experiences,
02:08a sentiment that is best highlighted when Kris says,
02:10This is the best $12 we've ever spent.
02:13But of course, that doesn't take away from groaning and watching the car Jenner's delight
02:17in doing the mundane things the rest of us have to do.
02:21Number three, buying Stormy a school bus.
02:23When the car Jenner's can't take a day trip out to delight in normality,
02:27sometimes they buy it and bring it in.
02:29As was the case when Travis Scott and Kylie possibly bought their daughter Stormy a school bus
02:34so that she would feel more regular?
02:37For most of us, the yellow school bus was a sweaty ride full of bumps and even bullies.
02:41For Stormy, it's an adventure, I guess.
02:44Kylie posted to Instagram,
02:45All Stormy has been talking about is riding a big yellow bus.
02:49Daddy surprised her.
02:50As to whether or not the bus was rented or purchased, we don't know.
02:53But Twitter had plenty to say.
02:55Some commenters accuse the pair of cosplaying middle class life.
02:58Or as one user puts it,
03:00Rich people are literally so far from reality they bought a school bus for Stormy to sit on.
03:05Accurate.
03:06Number four, Kendall vs. The Cucumber.
03:09Also on a recent The Kardashians episode is Kendall Jenner's unfortunate brush with a cucumber.
03:15The scene starts out as it does in most American homes,
03:18Kris asking Kendall if the chef should prepare something for her.
03:22Kendall insists she's got it and then proceeds to take out a cucumber.
03:25It becomes pretty clear by Kris's puzzled reaction that in fact,
03:29Kendall has no clue how to cut it.
03:31The scene had Twitter howling.
03:33One commenter says,
03:34Watching Kendall Jenner cut a cucumber is one of the most painful things I've ever seen.
03:38Maybe do leave the food prep to the chef, Kenny.
03:42Number five, Disneyland Womp Womp.
03:44Taking the fam to Disneyland?
03:45Sure, that's a pretty regular thing to do.
03:47There's the rides, the ice cream treats, and of course, the lines.
03:51But if you're a Kardashian,
03:52let's just say that you have a very different experience of the park
03:55than the rest of your fellow parents.
03:57Kim and Khloe took their daughters to the amusement park for True Thompson's fourth birthday.
04:00But Angry Park guests fumed over and even filmed the famous family
04:04cutting the line on the teacup ride
04:06and then having the whole attraction to themselves.
04:09The special privileges that come with fame, I guess.
04:11In a video posted to TikTok,
04:13mom Rachel Kevin showed what went down at Disneyland,
04:16commenting over the footage with,
04:17When the Kardashians cut the line,
04:19get the ride to themselves and make us common folk wait and watch them.
04:23So typical.
04:24This video is pretty awkward.
04:25I mean, Khloe and Kim, you do know this isn't a good look, right?
04:28Number 6, Kim going out for pizza with Pete.
04:32It's no secret that ever since Kim K started dating Pete Davidson,
04:36we've seen the reality TV star not acting quite like her Kanye-era self,
04:40opting for a more styled-down fashion and even dates.
04:44In January, while Ye was doting on then-romantic interest Julia Fox
04:48with closets full of new clothes,
04:50Kim was eating a slice of pizza with Pete in a low-key New York joint.
04:54But despite the casual nature of the date,
04:56the two still managed to attract plenty of attention from the paparazzi and the public alike.
05:01But unlike perhaps previous Kardashian attempts at normality,
05:04this one seemed to gather more aws than boos.
05:08As one fan states about seeing Kim out with Pete,
05:10honestly, it's the natural things to her that seem so peaceful and good.
05:14It feels natural.
05:15Number 7, a stroll through Target.
05:18Target is a magical place.
05:19We all know this.
05:20And apparently, it is for Kim Kardashian as well,
05:23as the billionaire enjoyed a stroll through the store with daughter Chicago.
05:27Kim shared the event on her Instagram stories and captioned it,
05:30Dreams do come true.
05:31Love a Target day with my shy shy.
05:33Never mind that Kim could probably buy out the whole store with the wave of a checkbook.
05:37The mother-daughter also ran into cousin True and auntie Chloe.
05:40Also, maybe even suspiciously,
05:42on a normal person outing to the big chain store.
05:45Hmm, we gotta wonder,
05:46Are they trying to convince us that they're just like us?
05:49Number 8, Kim's Practical, Not-So-Practical Business Advice.
05:53It seems like whenever a car Jenner so much as sneezes,
05:56we plebs get to hear about it.
05:58Now when they administer some pretty out-of-touch business advice as Kim did,
06:02we get to be steamed about it.
06:04Kim, Chris, and Chloe sat down with an intensive interview with Variety
06:07about their booming business empire.
06:09When Kim was asked for advice for other women in business,
06:12the reality TV star answered with,
06:13I have the best advice for women in business.
06:16Get your effing butt up and work.
06:17It seems like nobody wants to work these days.
06:20The comment immediately got negative attention from commenters online,
06:24who were quick to point out that Kim was hardly a self-starter,
06:27but in fact, the daughter of wealthy lawyer Rob Kardashian.
06:30Or as one commenter succinctly tweeted,
06:32I love when people who are born to obscenely rich,
06:35highly networked, and well-connected parents
06:37pontificate about the importance of work.
06:40Kim girl, no doubt you've worked hard,
06:41but you may want to think things through just a little more
06:44before giving business advice to people who were not born rich.
06:48Number nine, Kylie and Kendall go incognito.
06:51Remember in 2016 when Kylie and Kendall just wanted to live like common people,
06:55but their recognizability and fame just wouldn't let them,
06:58so they had prosthetic masks made so they could go full incognito in public?
07:02So do we, and we're still thinking about it too.
07:05Khloe also got in on the fun,
07:07and after some heavy use of prosthetics and makeup,
07:09the three went out on a Hollywood bus tour as their alter egos,
07:12and giddily recorded the excursion on Snapchat.
07:15But the jig was up.
07:16Turns out paparazzi and fans spotted the famous ladies all the same,
07:19and the three escaped to safety on a Beverly Hills property.
07:23Number 10, Kylie posts her driver's license online.
07:26Most driver's license photos and passport photos are cringeworthy,
07:29but if you're Kylie Jenner,
07:31you somehow get to bypass the whole embarrassing experience,
07:34and looking like you would on the red carpet.
07:36Out of nowhere, Kylie posted her driver's license photo on Instagram.
07:40The reasons remain unclear,
07:41but had fans gag nonetheless by how, well, flawless Kylie looked,
07:46or as one commenter put it,
07:48why can't all my ID photos look like this, lol.
07:51On Reddit, rumors circulated that the photo was indeed touched up,
07:54but as one astute commenter mentions,
07:56reminds me of the scene when Khloe got her pick done for her license
07:59and took a professional ring light to the DMV office.
08:02Kylie probably did the same, and took her glam team with her too.
08:05We'll have to live with the mystery, I guess.
08:07I love a good colander, because you can get a facial look.
08:10Facial, facial.
08:11I do the same thing.
08:12Honestly.
08:13We have no idea when the Karjenners will learn
08:15that their attempts of living like common people for entertainment
08:18usually flops hard.
08:19But in the meantime, we get to enjoy their often,
08:22mmm, misguided attempts at relatability?
08:25Or if not enjoy, at least have an outlet to rue the rich and famous.
08:29But what do you think of the Karjenners trying to be regular people?
