Kanye West and Kim Kardashian appear to be the only ones not laughing after comedian Amy Schumer photobombed the famous couple at the Time 100 gala Tuesday night in New York.

The Inside Amy Schumer star appeared to fake a stumble just as the reality star and her rapper husband were posing for photos on the red carpet.

"I saw them and said to my publicist, 'Can I pretend to fall?' the 33-year-old explained to Time. "She said, 'I can't stop you,'" so Schumer dove to the ground in her navy blue gown.

While nearly everyone who saw the stunt shared a chuckle, Kim and Kanye didn't even crack a smile.

Instead, the celebrity pair walked right past the blonde stand-up star, who is known for her self-deprecating sense of humour.

After the party, where Schumer, West and Kardashian all celebrated being named to Time's annual list of 100 influential people, Schumer took to Twitter to express a simple "thanks".
