Kim Kardashian: South Park, SNL & Others’ Best Mocking of The Diva

Very few names are as deeply ingrained in popular culture as that of Kim Kardashian. Her family’s television presence may be coming to a close in the near future, but Kim will surely live on in many different forms. Besides, Kim’s celebrity has made her the subject of much more than a successful reality show. Kim has also been hilariously mocked on shows like South Park and Saturday Night Live. Her ubiquity has even been the subject of successful YouTube parodies, propelling the careers of comedians like Benito Skinner. Here are some of the most hilarious takedowns of the Internet mogul.

South Park

No one is safe from Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s acerbic attacks, and Kim Kardashian has been no exception since she rose to fame. She and her sisters were depicted in the 2010 episode “The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerBalls,” in which the entire Kardashian family has been inexplicably murdered. The gruesome murder, not to mention the unflattering depiction of Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney, is undoubtedly offensive, but such is par for the course when it comes to South Park.

Believe it or not, the show’s slander of Kim was far from over. In 2013, South Park targeted Kim once more, this time focusing on her relationship with Kanye, in an episode entitled “The Hobbit.” Throughout the episode, Kanye must tour the globe to convince everyone that his wife is in fact not a hobbit, despite growing belief that she is. The rumor begins when Butter rejects a “fat” girl at school because he prefers skinny women, like Kim Kardashian. His classmate Wendy points out that Kim is not as slim as online images of her suggest, and uses Photoshop to reveal that Kim “has the body of a hobbit.” While the attacks on Kim border on misogyny, the episode does confront the ways in which her online presence can have a negative effect on her fans.

Saturday Night Live

SNL has shown no mercy to the Kardashians over time, but the heyday of their Kardashian-mockery came when Nasim Pedrad was still with the show. Pedrad’s performances as Kim were consistently hilarious, and her “Kardashian Divorce Special” skit remains one of the most popular in the show’s history.

Benito Skinner

Kim may inspire parodies from some of the biggest shows on television, but some of the funniest spoofs of the reality star have come from YouTube star Benito Skinner. Skinner’s online spoofs of Keeping Up With The Kardashians propelled him towards a career in acting and comedy. His renditions of Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian proved particularly popular, and continue to be his trademark work today.
