5 Hilarious Pop Culture Moments I Hope We, As A Society, Never Forget

I know I certainly won't.

#5: Kanye West's 2005 Grammy Speech

In 2005, Kanye won three Grammys for best rap album, best rap song, and best R&B song, however these impressive Grammy wins weren't what everybody was talking about afterwards. It was his speech, which ended with him saying,

"everybody want to know, what I would do, if I didn't win................ I guess we'll never know."

17 years later, this line has become an iconic meme and popular TikTok sound. Creators use the sound to poke fun at themselves and even athletes use it after they've won.

Although it is no secret that Kanye has said and done some pretty questionable things over the course of his career, it is hard to argue that his confident attitude is both admirable and contagious

#4: Jerry Seinfeld Declines a Hug From Kesha

The year is 2017. Jerry Seinfeld is being interviewed at an event for a foundation he supports. While he is talking to the interviewer about charging a phone, the popular singer and songwriter Kesha approaches him and asks for a hug. I highly encourage to watch the video linked but the exchange basically goes as follows:

Kesha: "I'm Kesha I love you so much!"

Jerry: "Oh, thanks:"

Kesha: "Can I give you a hug?"

Jerry: "No, thanks."

Kesha: "Please."

Jerry: "No, thanks."

Kesha: "A little one?"

Jerry: "Yeah, no thanks."

Kesha, visibly upset and disappointed, proceeds to walk away. Jerry laughs to the camera and explains that he didn't know who that was and that he wishes her the best. Later on, he told Extra that he and Kesha shared a laugh afterwards and Kesha later told 102.7 that she was afraid she scared him.

All jokes aside, credit to Jerry Seinfeld for setting boundaries amidst Kesha's persistence to get a hug from him.

#3: Chris Pratt Says What to Ellen?

If you watch The Ellen Show, you know it is very common for Ellen to play games with her audience and her celebrity guests as well. For the Mother's Day 2017 episode, Chris Pratt was on to play "Speak Out" a game that involves an expanding mouthpiece that makes it difficult to say otherwise simple phrases.

One of the phrases Chris had to say to Ellen was "I'm going to bump you." Because of the mouthpiece, however, it came out sounding like a phrase that isn't exactly "age appropriate" if you get what I mean.

The funniest part is the aftermath. After both of them end up in tears from laughing so hard and several attempts to say it correctly, Ellen eventually understands what he was trying to say.

Needless to say, laughter is truly medicine.

#2: Kristen Bell Reaaallly Loves Sloths

Actress Kristen Bell is known for many things. "Frozen," "The Good Place," and "Veronica Mars," among other successful projects, but when I think of Kristen Bell, what first comes to mind is her adorable and borderline concerning meltdown over sloths.

Yes, you heard me correctly. Sloths.

In 2012, Kristen went on the Ellen Show and told Ellen about how her husband, Dax Shepherd, surprised her with a sloth for her 31st birthday. The sloth hung out on a jungle gym at her birthday party and when she found out, she was, let's just say, emotional.

The video shows Kristen's reaction which involves laying on a bed, hysterically crying, while telling Dax, "I'm so excited."

After that home video footage ends, Ellen then pranks Kristen by making her think she has a sloth ready to come out and see her. This leads to more tears and ends with Kristen saying, "Oh, why would you do that?"

Add this to the list of reasons why we love Kristen Bell. Now I know that if I were to ever meet her, I would give her a fair warning before even mentioning a sloth.

#1: Kim Kardashian's Diamond Earring Scare

We've all had that panic-filled moment when we realized we lost something. Our keys, phones, wallets, you name it. Kim Kardashian knows the feeling too well, only when she misplaced something on her Bora Bora vacation with her family and then fiancé Kris Humphries, it wasn't an everyday item.

Instead, it was a diamond earring worth 75,000 dollars. Yikes is right.

Humphries threw Kim in the water and when she resurfaced, she realized her diamond earring was gone. She quickly panicked and started cursing and crying. Humphries and her sister Kylie looked in the water for it while Kim got out of the water and went to find her mother Kris.

Hysterical, Kim told her mother what happened and that's when her older sister Kourtney, came out of her hut to see what was going on. When Kim told her what happened, Kourtney, very bluntly, replied:

"Kim, there's people that are dying."

What I've personally taken away from this video is that there are two types of people in this world. Kourtneys and Kims. The world cannot go on with only one of these types of people. We need both to thrive.

Thank you Kourtney for keeping us all humble with your words of wisdom that will live on forever in my head, rent free.
