Kim Kardashian Re-Created Her Peeking Bush Meme on ‘the Kardashians’
- Kim Kardashian recreated one of her famous memes on “The Kardashians.”
- The original meme is from a 2015 episode of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”
- While on a walk with Khloé Kardashian, Kim recreated it by peeking out from behind a tree.
On episode four of “The Kardashians,” Kim Kardashian took a moment to recreate one of her most famous memes while on a walk with her sister Khloé in Calabasas, California.
“This is where North did her big debut in a music video,” Kim said while walking with Khloé.
“Or your famous meme,” Khloé replied.
“Oh, my meme is behind that tree!” Kim exclaimed, immediately walking towards the tree to peer out from behind it in a pose that’s become iconic online.
The meme in question originated from a 2015 episode of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” the family’s prior E! reality series. In the episode, titled “Buggy Boo,” Kim watches her daughter North West — only 19 months old at the time, according to the Washington Post — film with her father Ye, previously known as Kanye West, for the music video for his song “Only One.”
Kardashian, not wanting to distract her daughter and cause her to run and slip in the mud, hides from her behind a bush so that she can observe without being seen. One shot of her grinning widely and poking her head out from behind the green leaves became a popular meme, typically used to express excitement or eagerness.
“These were the exact bushes of the meme, and North was filming the ‘Only One’ video right here, and I didn’t want her to see me or she’d cry,” Kim explains on the fourth episode of “The Kardashians.”
“I was literally hiding behind the bushes going like,” Kim says, peeking out from behind the leaves in an imitation of her old meme.
This isn’t the first time that one of Kim’s memes has been relevant on the new show — in the series’ first episode, her son Saint shows her a Roblox game that depicts her crying face meme. It proves to be a source of distress: In addition to the meme, there was text that promoted unreleased footage from her 2007 sex tape.
