If Keeping Up With The Kardashians is the Garfield of reality shows—an assertion we can probably all just accept as fact—then Bruce Jenner is undoubtedly its Jon Arbuckle: vaguely authoritative, deeply awkward, and ultimately upstaged at every turn by the animated personalities around him. And now, in the fine tradition of Garfield Minus Garfield, we have “Keeping Up With The,” an episode of the popular reality show with everyone but Jenner edited out of existence.
The end result is a little bit like those videos of sitcoms with the jokes edited out, except that Jenner’s life, which apparently consists of golfing, talking about golfing, and crabbily grousing about the inconsiderate ghosts that surround and bedevil him, appears to be a joke in and of itself.
