• The Kardashian-Jenner family launched their new Hulu reality series, "The Kardashians," this year. 
• Much like their first show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," there are plenty of shocking moments.
• From Pete Davidson's cameo to news of Tristan Thompson cheating, these were the most noteworthy.

Kim's son Saint West showed her a Roblox ad about her in episode one.

At the first family gathering shown on "The Kardashians," 6-year-old Saint excitedly showed Kim a Roblox game on a tablet.

"There was a picture of my cry face, and then I looked at it, and it said something super inappropriate like 'Kim's new sex tape,'" Kim said in the episode. 

Roblox is a platform, not a game in and of itself. Roblox users make games that other users are then able to play. Still, many of its users are young: The company has experienced "tremendous success" with children under age 13, Roblox chief business officer Craig Donato said during a 2021 investor day presentation. 

"This is supposed to be unreleased footage from my old sex tape," Kim said in a confessional in episode one. "The last thing that I want as a mom is for my past to be brought up, 20 years later, especially when it's this big party and my whole family's here. This is some real embarrassing shit, and I need to deal with it. And I will deal with it."

Ye, formerly Kanye West, traveled to Los Angeles to bring Kim the laptop with her sex-tape footage on it.

By the time Kim made it to New York City to film "Saturday Night Live," she was still attempting to deal with purported threats of further footage from her sex tape. It's surprising to see Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, show up at her hotel with a suitcase. While prior news coverage from January meant that we knew Ye claimed he'd retrieved some portion of Kim's tape, it was the artist's first appearance on "The Kardashians."

It turned out that Ye had traveled all the way to Los Angeles and back on a red eye flight — in coach, no less — to retrieve the remaining footage of her and Ray J.

The moment was dramatic, with Kim in tears as she unzipped a black suitcase with a computer, keyboard, and hard drive that apparently contained the last of her sex tape. Kim confirmed that the footage it contained was not sexual in nature.

"I know Kanye did this for me, but he also did this for my kids," Kim said in a confessional during the episode. "I want to shield them from as much as I can, and if I had the power to, or Kanye has the power to, like, that is just the most important thing to me and I'm just so emotional because of it. And it just means a lot to me."

Penelope hung up on her mom when she found out about Kourtney's engagement to Travis Barker.

Barker and Kourtney got engaged on the season four episode called "We're Celebrating Sex" — but it wasn't a happy occasion for everyone in the Kardashian-Jenner family. Kourtney's kids had a difficult time with the news. 

Her 9-year-old daughter Penelope had a particularly dramatic reaction during a video call. "Do you want to know what my surprise was? We got engaged," Kourtney said. Penelope immediately started crying and said "hang up" before ending the call. 

The reaction came after Penelope's aunts and grandmother Kris decided to exclude Kourtney's children from the engagement celebration because they thought they were too young. Barker's kids, the youngest of whom is 16 years old, were present for the occasion. 

"Penelope took it hard. I think it's a big change for her," Kourtney told cameras in a confessional interview. "And even though she loves Travis, I think she doesn't know what that means."

"Is that taking me away? Is it… I think she just doesn't know what it means," the mom of three continued. 

Kourtney's 7-year-old son had a similar reaction to his sister. When his mom explained to him what "engaged" meant, he exclaimed "not exciting" definitively. But Penelope's reaction won points for the drama.

"I do wish that my kids were here. I think it would have made them feel more included in the decision kind of and like, part of the surprise," Kourtney told the cameras. "I know that my mom made that decision and it probably wasn't her best."

Kourtney broke her wedding ring by stepping on it.

An episode after Kourtney and Travis Barker's engagement, Kourtney revealed to her mother in episode five that she broke her brand-new custom ring. 

"I was sitting on my floor folding sweatshirts and I took the ring off, and I put it next to me on the floor like, thinking it would be safe right next to me," she told Kris Jenner. 

"So then I had to get something up above in my closet, and when I stepped down, I stepped on the ring," she continued. "I was like, hysterically crying in my closet for like, hours. And then I called Travis and I was like, 'I did something really, really bad.'"

Kourtney said that her then-fiancé took the news very well, although the incident made her have a "nervous breakdown."

Kendall cut a cucumber in an incredibly convoluted way.

In episode five, Kendall prepared herself a snack at her mother's house, grabbing a cucumber out of the fridge and declining Kris' offer to get her chef to make a snack.

Kendall then visibly struggled attempting to figure out the best way to cut the vegetable, first trying to stabilize it by placing her hand not holding a knife on the end that she's cutting. She then crossed her hand over her knife arm, grabbing the butt of the cucumber while her arms are twisted up. 

"I definitely am not a good cutter, so don't zoom in on me," Kendall said to the camera. "I'm not professional whatsoever."

She later weighed in on the situation on Twitter, echoing a fan who called her cucumber-cutting skills "tragic."

Scott Disick and Kendall fought about whether Kendall left him out of her birthday celebrations.

Another one of the most dramatic moments of the season involved an unexpected pair — Kourtney's ex Scott Disick and her sister Kendall. 

Kendall and Disick visited Kris's house in episode five (titled "Who Is Kim K?") when Disick questioned Kendall about why he wasn't invited to her birthday celebrations that presumably took place in November 2021. Kendall tried to explain that she didn't throw a big party and exclude him, but he wouldn't accept her explanation. 

"Never in a million years would Kendall not invite me to a birthday dinner," he said.

Kendall tried to explain to Disick the strange situation she's in when it comes to inviting him to get togethers since Kourtney and Barker became a couple. 

"Making Kourtney uncomfortable… like that's not part of my business," she said. "I'm so sorry that that makes you sad and I'm not ever trying to leave you out."

Disick kept pushing the issue, not accepting the fact that Kendall has a different kind of loyalty to Kourtney than she does to him. She even said that she tries to keep his feelings in mind whenever she can. Disick kept arguing with her, causing her to dramatically leave the table and go inside. 

"I'm so over this shit, Scott," she declared, before telling him to play the tapes of the conversation back to see if she actually lied to him about having a dinner. 

Kim was death row inmate Brandon Bernard's last call.

In the sixth episode of "The Kardashians," Kim recounted the story of Brandon Bernard, who was executed in December 2020 amid pleas for him to be removed from death row and have his sentence commuted to life in prison. Kim was among those who advocated for President Donald Trump to halt his execution. 

On "The Kardashians," Kim revealed that she was Bernard's last call and "got to know him pretty well in his last few days," sharing his story on social media by Bernard's request. 

The show played footage of Kardashian crying as she spoke to Bernard on the phone, and the moment was a pretty severe change of tone for "The Kardashians."

"I couldn't hold it in, and the fact that he was calming me down from crying was really like, broke my heart," Kim said. "And he was executed. We weren't able to stop it."

She continued: "But this is why I do what I do, because the system is so broken. I think my goal is just sharing the process so that people can see what our system is really like, and how inhumane the death penalty really is."

Kourtney said a doctor told her to drink Travis Barker's semen to help her thyroid levels.

There have been some awkward moments on "The Kardashians" season one thanks to Barker, Kourtney, and their fertility journey. Arguably, none is more shocking than the confession Kourtney made on episode seven, "Where I've Been and Where I Wanna Go." 

The couple was discussing approaches to help improve Kourtney's fertility with Ayurvedic medicine practitioner Martha Soffer when the Poosh founder said an unnamed doctor had previously told her to drink Barker's semen "four times a week" to help "improve" her thyroid levels. 

"I can't remember what he said, if it was low or high," she recalled. "Well, he told me that the thing that would help it was drinking his cum like four times a week."

Kourtney pointed to Barker who said, "Love this doctor." 

Neither Kourtney nor Barker confirmed whether they took the doctor's advice or not, but they referred to him in the past tense. If Kourtney did indeed receive this advice, it's more than shocking. It's flawed advice that has no basis in medicine.

Kourtney called out the show's editing in episode nine.

In maybe the most shocking example of the family taking advantage of their ability to break the fourth wall this season, Kourtney directly voiced her concerns with the way that "The Kardashians" edited her and Travis Barker's engagement episode. 

In episode nine, Kourtney told her friend Steph Shepherd that she and Barker had fun filming the episode, but were disappointed when they watched the edit. 

"We like film and have the best time ever, and then we've been watching the edits and we're just so annoyed because they're like swirling us in with this drama," Kourtney said, confirming to Shepherd that she was referring to events involving Disick.

While Kourtney's dissatisfaction wasn't shocking in and of itself, the fact that her concerns made it to the final cut of the episode felt surprising. 

The Kardashians learned that Tristan Thompson had cheated on Khloé again in episode nine.

One of the most surprising and devastating moments of "The Kardashians" season one happened throughout episodes nine and ten, titled "Bucket List Goals" and "Enough Is Enough," respectively.

On the penultimate episode, cameras caught Kim talking to Kylie about leaked legal documents in which Khloé's then-partner Tristan Thompson admitted to having sex with another woman on his 30th birthday in March 2021. At the time, he was also trying to get Khloé back after a previous cheating scandal, telling her he had changed his ways and wanted to continue raising a family with her. 

The petitioner, identified as fitness instructor Maralee Nichols, was pregnant at the time and claimed in court filings that Thompson was the father of her baby. The NBA star admitted in the documents that based on the timing of their sexual encounter, this could be true, and later paternity testing proved he was the father of Nichols' child, who was born in December 2021.

"Is Tristan like the worst person on the planet?" Kylie asked Kim over the phone while they were discussing the leaked court documents that revealed Thompson's cheating.

Pete Davidson made a surprise appearance off-camera, asking if Kim's longtime audio producer had seen her vagina more than him.

Though she remained coy about her new relationship on-camera, Kim was noticeably lighter and happier when she began dating boyfriend Pete Davidson in fall 2021 after appearing on "Saturday Night Live" in October.

The show depicted Davidson doing cute things for Kim, like sending her Dibs before a photoshoot, and she eventually opened up about him on camera, calling him the "best human being I've ever met" — but we didn't see or hear from him directly in the first season.

So, it was a fun shock in a post-credits scene in the finale episode when Kim had a conversation with her boyfriend while shooting confessional interview footage for the show. Their topic of conversation is what really raised eyebrows though. 

Kim wanted to introduce Pete to her longtime audio producer, Erin "Paxy" Paxton, in the scene. "Paxy has worked with me as audio for 14 years, from 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians,'" she said. "She knows everything about me. She's probably seen my vagina."

"More than me?" Davidson can be heard asking from off-screen. 

"Not more than you, but she's probably seen it," Kim answered him. Paxton laughed from off-screen and told Kim she actually hasn't seen her vagina. 

"Well get there," Kim jokingly assured her. "Takes time to warm up to seeing my vagina. But you could look on the internet. I'm just kidding."
