‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ with only Bruce Jenner is much better

This needs to be turned into a feature film and submitted to Cannes.

Somehow, Keeping Up with the Kardashians is still on the air, and people still want to live vicariously through the famous-for-being-famous family. Now, in the tradition of Sad Full House, someone has removed the Kardashians from the show, and reduced it to just clips of Bruce Jenner talking to himself.

Reality TV is all about the editing, and this hyperedited clip is transformed into a beautiful pit of existential despair. Jenner complains that he doesn’t have enough closet space. He wanders around the Kardashian complex and complains about Kim and Kanye’s new baby. He complains about the construction of a putting green. He is utterly alone. Can no one hear his cries? 

I have to agree with my colleague Greg Seals: This needs to be turned into a feature film and submitted to Cannes. Sadly, Jenner yelling at his wife, Kris, for eating weed gummy bears was not included.
