In a humorous video, Ellen DeGeneres showed how she tried to wake up Kris Jenner for her birthday which attracted the comments of the audience as well as the stars in a hilarious way. The video that got published on DeGeneres’s social account revealed the talk show host in a very enthusiastic and dynamic style attempting to rouse the very sleepy-looking Jenner who was napping. The naughty birthday honoring of Kris soon became a source of online merriment and jokes as a good number of people noticed Jenner’s surprisingly calm but totally unconscious condition.

The video features Ellen DeGeneres going to Kris Jenner who is lying motionless on the bed. In the post, DeGeneres voiced her wish: ‘Happy birthday, Kris. I wish I could wake you up like this every day.’ The head of the Kardashian-Jenner family appears to be in a very deep sleep, not moving at all while the loud music and merry shouting of DeGeneres should be enough to wake her, Ellen is giving her one of those ‘why me’ looks. It is then that the video hits the punchline, the moment of the slow opening of one eye by Jenner, a slo-mo reaction of pure, unspoiled confusion.
The first reaction to the comical situation came from the family of Jenner, who not only were first to react but also were very funny. Khloé Kardashian, her daughter, commented in a very humorous way that described the family’s reaction just perfectly, which would most likely be, saying, ‘I am on the floor crying 🤣🤣🤣.’ This was the feeling of many other users who found the entire scenario very entertaining. One spectator noted, ‘The response from Kris is golden!!!😂😂 exactly what tf i would say too,’ pointing to the totally human aspect of being awoken from deep sleep at night.
In contrast, quite a few comments moved on to another topic and the main one became about Kris Jenner’s appearance while sleeping. The comments about it included mention of a strong, and a little bit scary, resemblance to the late king of pop Michael Jackson. One user quite openly proclaimed, ‘i thought that was a dead Michael Jackson at first,’ and this initiated a huge thread of people agreeing. Others gave similar views, one of them saying, ‘She looks like Michael .j,’ and another teasing, ‘Thought it was a Madame Toussade MJ wax figure.’ Comparisons did not stop there as some imaginative viewers even spotted other artists. ‘Did Ellen find Elvis at last?!’ was a question from one person while another said, ‘I thought she went to see the king 😂.’
Besides the laughter and speculation about celebrity look-alikes, some comments revealed the true nature of the friendship. ‘Having great friends will change your life 🤣❤️,’ one user remarked, recognizing the real and silly atmosphere between the two. Another person confessed that they were not wholly aware, saying, ‘I didn’t realize they were friends. Interesting,’ which was like a hint at the sometimes-hidden social life of the wealthy. The video’s uncanny normality was also a topic of discussion; one viewer expressed it nicely by saying, ‘Seeing famous people in any kind of normal everyday setting like this feels so weird to me 💀.’
The video also generated some astrological jokes that were made in a light-hearted way. One person observed, ‘Waking a Scorpio you playing with 🔥🤣🤣🤣,’ which was a reference to Jenner’s zodiac sign and the possible repercussions of waking her up. Another one suggested that the individual might have been so deep in sleep as a result of having had alcohol served during the afternoon and thus, humorously, the person remarked, ‘I believe there were afternoon drinks involved before naps.😂’
Ultimately, Ellen DeGeneres’s birthday post for Kris Jenner turned out not just to be a personal message but rather a moment of fun and humorous guessing shared among a quite large online crowd. The clip managed to juxtapose the characteristic humor of a failed wake-up call universally experienced with an astonishing incident of a reality TV queen being compared to a legendary singer. It was a perfect reminder that even the most stylish people sometimes go through clumsily unrefined and comically disoriented moments that are very difficult to spot.
