Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner were literally laughed at on stage and it's so awkward
Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner had the ultimate awkward moment at the Emmy Awards when the audience laughed at them on stage.
The sisters were presenting an award when they made comments about Keeping Up with the Kardashians being "real and unscripted."
An award ceremony wouldn't be complete without a few awkward moments, but we're pretty sure Kendall and Kim took the crown when they were laughed at by the audience at the Emmy Awards last night.
The sisters were presenting the award for Outstanding Reality TV when it all went down. Kim said: "Our family knows firsthand how truly compelling television comes from real people just being themselves."
Kendall then added: "Telling their stories unfiltered and unscripted," while the audience erupted in laughter and they both looked legit pissed.
Prepare to watch this from behind your hands...

Was anyone else slightly uncomfortable when the audience laughed at Kim and Kendall when they said “Real people telling real stories about themselves”.. I don’t think they were joking haha. Kendall looked so uncomfortable and Kim’s face just tightened up.. #Emmys pic.twitter.com/h9ETwueyAR

Okay, so... let's unpick this a little. As far as "unscripted" goes, it's fair to say that KUWTK isn't - those one-liners are all Kourtney's. However, the family has been accused of engineering plot lines from time to time - including the Jordyn Woods/Tristan Thompson/Khloe Kardashian cheating scandal, which both the Kardashians and Jordyn deny doing.
The "real people just being themselves," line from the speech, however, is kinda hard to relate to when the Kardashians live a very different life from the majority of us. So perhaps that's what made the audience tittle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Still, there's no denying the impact KUWTK has had on pop culture. So let's give them a break, shall we?
