A content creator made Bill Clinton into a playable character in Elden Ring after a bizarre moment at The Game Awards 2022 last week.
An Elden Ring modder by the name of Arestame brought the USA’s 42nd President into the fabled Lands Between. He created a custom skin of Bill Clinton for the game and shared a hilarious video clip of his creation on Twitter on Friday, which has garnered over million views on social media.

The question on everyone’s mind is, ‘why is Bill Clinton even in the game?’ and more importantly, ‘why is he a reformed Orthodox Rabbi?’
How a Teen Nominated Bill Clinton at The Game Awards
Oscar-winning actor, Al Pacino, may have opened the prestigious award ceremony to honor the biggest videogames from around the world but it was a new kind of internet celebrity who closed out the show.
A 15-year-old teenager snuck up onto stage behind the development team of Elden Ring after the role-playing game (RPG) won ‘Game of the Year’. He stood behind Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of the award-winning game, during his acceptance speech, approached the mike, and said,
I want to nominate this award to my reformed Orthodox Rabbi Bill Clinton.
The teen was quickly approached by security and was escorted off stage as people clapped in confusion wondering what just happened. Chaos ensued online as the bizarre moment went viral on social media with Twitterati coming up with some hilarious memes to sum up their reactions.

The Bill Clinton kid happened because prank phone calls aren’t a thing anymore. Have to get it out of your system somehow.

The kid was lucky Kratos wasn’t there.

The Game Awards host, Geoff Keighley was definitely not happy with the prank. He tweeted later on that the boy who interrupted the ‘Game of The Year’ moment had been arrested. We wonder what happened to him.
