Kim Kardashian Jokes About Reviving Old Memes and Trends in Playful Tonight Show Skit

Kim Kardashian showed off her humor and cultural pull during a playful sketch on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Wednesday, September 24, where she leaned into Gen Z slang and even resurrected some long-forgotten pop culture phrases.

The bit opened in Kardashian’s dressing room as Fallon popped in to let her know she would be heading onstage shortly. “I’ll see you out there. It should be another six, seven minutes,” Fallon said.

“Hmm, six seven,” Kardashian replied, slipping in a nod to a TikTok meme from Skrilla’s song Doot Doot (6 7). Fallon teased that the joke was outdated. “I don’t think kids are saying that anymore,” he said.

But Kardashian wasn’t finished. “I know, it was totally over, but I just brought it back. That’s kind of one of my superpowers. I’m Kim Kardashian, and I can just bring anything back anytime I want.”

When Fallon asked if she meant it, Kardashian doubled down with another phrase: “No cap! That’s back now, too.” She followed it up by striking the once-viral “dab” pose, leaving Fallon stunned.

“No way,” he said, shaking his head. “There’s no way that’s coming back. What? That happened so fast.”

Still, Kardashian leaned further into the moment, rattling off a string of nostalgic phrases. “Wazzup! Don’t taze me, bro. NikeSKIMS. Groovy baby, yeah!” Fallon laughed, insisting that not all of those catchphrases could stage a comeback. “Austin Powers impressions aren’t back,” he joked.

Kardashian disagreed, delivering her own cheeky punchline: “In my world, they never went away.” As Fallon left the room, he repeated some of the phrases in mock disbelief, while Kardashian turned to the camera with one more classic line: “Oh, behave.”

The sketch quickly drew attention online, with fans praising Kardashian for leaning into her comedic side and poking fun at her own influence. For viewers, the moment was a reminder of how internet memes and cultural trends can live or die depending on who chooses to spotlight them—and Kardashian has long proven she knows how to keep herself in the conversation.

By blending Gen Z slang with early 2000s callbacks, Kardashian showed she has both the reach and confidence to blur generational lines for laughs. Whether or not she truly brought back the Dab or Austin Powers impressions, her playful exchange with Fallon reminded audiences of her knack for staying relevant in unexpected ways.
