KIM Kardashian and Kendall Jenner were laughed off stage at the Emmys after claiming their show is "real" and "unscripted".
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians stars took to the stage at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles to present the Competition Programme award at Sunday's ceremony.
The two women looked stunning in their respective gowns, but their smiles slipped as the audience started to laugh during their introduction to the category.
Kim, 38, started by saying: "Our family knows first hand how truly compelling television comes from real people, just being themselves."
Before Kendall could even say her bit, an audible laugh could be heard around the auditorium.
The 23-year-old said as the laughter continued: "Telling their stories, unfiltered and unscripted."
Piers Morgan later mocked their speech as he called the pair "half-wits" on Good Morning Britain.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "The crowd's reaction to Kim Kardashian saying reality shows were just "real people living their lives unscripted" could not have been more perfect. #unscriptedlaughter #emmys."
Another added: "How about the whole audience just cackling at the idea of the Kardashians being real... even Kim knew it was funny #Emmys."
A third clocked the awkward moment, writing: "Eeeek. There was a very loud laugh from the audience when Kim Kardashian was presenting. Laughing at her; not with her. It was uncomfortable (and, in my opinion, uncalled for) in the room. #Emmys."
A fourth agreed, tweeting: "The entire room cackling at Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner when they presented Outstanding Competition Program is a whole mood. They really set them up with their lines about being "unscripted" and stuff, didn't they? #Emmys."

Others noticed how supermodel Kendall, 23, rolled her eyes as the audience cackled, with one tweeting: "Kendall’s side eye when the audience laughed at the “real stories” line was...tough to witness. #emmys."
However, ever the professionals, the girls carried on and presented the award to RuPaul for his show, RuPaul's Drag Race.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians first aired in 2007 on E! and is currently on its 17th series.
