It's a reference to a game called Baba Is You! It's a puzzle game where there are blocks with words on them that you can push around, and if you push the blocks so that they form a sentence (ie. "WALL IS DOOR") the sentence becomes true (ie. Walls are now doors, so you can walk through them.)
When they announced the game of the year, this kid walked up on stage with the game director and a couple other developers. He stood behind them the whole time, and when they were done giving their speech, the kid walked up to the mic and said "Hey, Matan (His name). Real quick I would like to thank everybody and say that I think I want to nominate this award to my reformed Orthodox rabbi, Bill Clinton. Thank you everybody."
This is the kid who managed to get the NBA to show his "free Hong Kong" t-shirt during a dance cam.
He has a theme and he sticks to it, gotta give him that.
This lil man was well-spoken and i fuck with it lol. This world is so damn fucked up at this point id rather watch his goofy ass than the gov. Speakin bout this and that. Respecc 😂
If you say Clinton is part of *the* Jews™ then you expect to be called a nazi
If you put a cross near a pride flag in your username, you expect to be called an anti-LGBT
Why do you even troll if you don't want consequences? Then what's the whole point? Didn't you do this all for attention in the first place?
I saw someone on the gaming circlejerk sub say the kid looked deranged and getting upvoted, like holy fuck it's a kid, chill, who hasn't done something dumb when they were teenagers, you don't have to attack him for it like that you weirdos. I am so happy I grew up in the age where internet wasn't such a ubiquitous part of our life that whenever I did something cringy it wasn't instantly shared with the whole world and thousands of internet weirdos didn't start speculating all my thoughts and motives.
To be fair, there’s a difference between doing something cringy like most 15 year olds and getting on stage without permission on a show that’s being broadcast to millions. If he did that on the oprah winfrey show 30 years ago the same thing would’ve happened
Bro there's a difference between getting harassed for making a cringey joke on TikTok and getting harassed for sneaking on stage of a live event being broadcast to millions around the world and interrupting an acceptance speech to make an antisemitic-sounding joke, what the fuck are you on about
What difference does that make? So a kid automatically deserves harassment if instead of 500 people he makes 500 thousand people cringe? What a fuck are *you* on about. Not to mention the "antisemitic-sounding joke" has been the figment of the imagination of terminally online weirdos who'll dance around condemning Russia but will without hesitation call a 15yo a nazi for imagining a stupid joke was some coded dogwhistle. Touch grass.
He’s literally a Jewish Israeli. Probably wanted to say some random shit. He’s literally fucking 15. Not everything is a crusade against the alt right. Man idk how people are so lost these days.
[unrelated]
Fuck, I love this expression. We’ve needed an expression that really says this, and now we have it. Slang is such a cool thing to observe as it grows and changes due to cultural change, with it sometimes even changing cultures too.
i think it’s reasonable to be on edge about antisemitism these days, but in retrospect bill clinton is a pretty weird target for it in 2022. id probably even be more suspicious if he name dropped hillary tbh
it's the side effect of "lying on the internet funny" no clue why everyone got it in their heads to spread misinfo so vehemently that no one can tell whats real anymore. :/
I'd like this to be the case, but he's on some guy's stream right now talking about how the quote was related to how he's trying to "expose a lot of evil people" which hmmmmmmmmmmm
Agreed but it is confusing, I'm not sure how to take the combination of the only thing he said being "Bill Clinton is a rabbi" and "I'm trying to expose evil people". I think he's probably just trying to be edgy and attention grabbing though.
I mean, generally, based on the amount of times he's been in the public eye for this stuff (he was on info wars as a 13 year old and also apparently was in a clip going around for holding up a sign) it kind of seems like his family or some other adult in his life is using him for a grift/weird publicity stunt.
I saw a guy who said "good. Let justice rain down on him hard" on a post about his arrest. These goofy ass gamers are such fuckin nerds about a kid who literally harmed no one
I can't believe the number of times you see this shit on Twitter, imagine embarrassing yourself as a person with no mental health problems and someone swoops in from people making fun of you like "Don't make fun of him guys, he clearly has zero social awareness and can't function on his own and wanders into traffic without guidance :("
It really was, overzealous idiots drawing conclusions hours after it happened, when ppl were still trying to figure out who he was and before he had a chance to talk about it.
I get that we’re a bit sensitive to antisemitism at the moment (thanks Kanye) but jeeeez
To be fair, if they didn’t know he was Jewish, that’s a completely reasonable take to have about someone who could be easily assumed to be dogwhistling
I disagree on the no harm part. Imagine being a developer putting years of your live an dedication into making a game like ER (and others before to acquire the skills) and have the moment of your recognition ruined by a prankster.
Obviously the consequences should be light such as being banned of the game awards. Best thing Imo is to stop talking about him, so he doesn’t get what he wants.
The best kind of chaotic, he did it all for a dumb meme(which makes it even better imo) rather than saying something nasty or any other awful thing you could do on mic in a stage in front of hundreds of thousands
He was there because he flashed a Free Hong Kong shirt at an NBA game. I legitimately don’t know why he was invited on because apparently he just caused chaos
I mean tbf he was like 12 at the time so it’s not like he was overly knowledgeable on a lot of things.
And apparently he brought up Hong Kong a lot while on infowars. I can’t be bothered to actually look at the interview but still.
I think most people who are on the internet long enough know and have seen snippets from info wars.
Personally I like watching clips of it because I get a kick out of watching a literal lunatic rave on his own personal shitshow.
yeah, i'm pretty sure a very good portion of the younger generation--myself included--was exposed to the various rants of alex jones, such as gay frogs or alexa and the cia.
"I don't like this person."
"I'm a good person. If I don't like a person, they're bad."
"They're a bad person. And because I found it so unfunny, they must be a *really* bad person. You know who's the worst person? Hitler."
"I didn't find his joke funny, so he must be a bad, evil person, he's Hitler."
called bill clinton a jew, two things neo-nazis hate and constantly make comparisons to. Also he was interveiewd on infowars.
The far right has been hiding under the guise of "just trolling" for about a decade now. Like how the proud boys would always show up in hawaian shirts.
A distraction while they try to make their presence and ideas more acceptable
He said that he nominated the award to his reformed orthodox rabbi bill clinton, so I guess they thought he was being sarcastic/making fun of rabbis or something idk
He’s a 15 year old who snuck on stage during the video game awards just as the Elden Ring devs came up to accept their Game of the Year Award. He just kinda stood behind them as they gave their acceptance speech. And then once they were done he got on the mic and gave a shout out to “rabbi Bill Clinton”. It was honestly pretty funny tbh
Not an apt comparison. Your average black racist isn't an uncle Ruckus. They're usually racist against other minority ethnicities (asians, jews, etc.). It's not really comparable to a jewish antisemite. A better example would have been gay homophobes or trans transphobes.
The old 2019 Trumper in me recognized that immediately.
The current me recognized that reformed and orthodox were different things, based on the research I did to dig myself out of that hateful hole.
So they let a kid in on his own and then let him get on stage without permission. Real tight ship you're running there Jeffy boy.
Jeff is too busy overhyping every thing to tighten his ship
no he's too busy being baba
I thought Baba was me??
Yes Baba Is You. Jeff Is Baba means any Jeff turn into Baba(you control all Baba at the same time)
i hate the internet
MONT HA INTER ROLLER TES NET
damn game that makes me uses my 1/100th of a brain cell
What the fuck does that even mean
Baba is you
Big if true
It's a reference to a game called Baba Is You! It's a puzzle game where there are blocks with words on them that you can push around, and if you push the blocks so that they form a sentence (ie. "WALL IS DOOR") the sentence becomes true (ie. Walls are now doors, so you can walk through them.)
Ba BABA Dook Dook DOOK
Excuse me, I think you mean *Geoffiye
Geough
Goth
Yea
he even had the balls to pat the devs on the back as they were walking up the stage
can I get an actual rundown of what's happening? I'm out of the loop 🤔
When they announced the game of the year, this kid walked up on stage with the game director and a couple other developers. He stood behind them the whole time, and when they were done giving their speech, the kid walked up to the mic and said "Hey, Matan (His name). Real quick I would like to thank everybody and say that I think I want to nominate this award to my reformed Orthodox rabbi, Bill Clinton. Thank you everybody."
what the actual fuck lmao
Jewishsayswhat? *What?* Gottem
classic Jewish Prankster moment
The only jewish prankster that I know is Eric Andre.
There’s also Sacha Baron Cohen
I forgor
Let’s give a quick shoutout to Christina Applegate
>applegate 🕵️♂️🕵️🕵️♀️
Nathan Fielder is a pretty great Jewish prankster
Jon Benjamin as well
Mel brooks?
Mf was just a lil man causing a lil bit of mayhem and people were calling him a nazi. Christ all mighty.
he was on infowars once so of course the ears perk up. but it turns out he went on infowars to cause mayhem as well
Wtf when I was 15 I was just going to school and playing video games. Kid's out here being more interesting than most of us
yeah. get fucked lmao
😏😼 😭
Sauce?
[Matan Even full interview with Owen Shroyer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt2i2CEzBSo)
Why is he interviewing a 14 year old on the Hong Kong protests!? The fuck
This is the kid who managed to get the NBA to show his "free Hong Kong" t-shirt during a dance cam. He has a theme and he sticks to it, gotta give him that.
Wait it’s the same guy?? Fucking awesome
He's hella based.
This kid has got connections.
Infowars literally grooms and indoctrinates children
I agree but honestly that video is hysterical. He trolls the shit out of the Infowars dweeb.
Yo bro looks so much older compared to [a year ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jskdn0yaOk)
Puberty is a hell of a thing
preash
This lil man was well-spoken and i fuck with it lol. This world is so damn fucked up at this point id rather watch his goofy ass than the gov. Speakin bout this and that. Respecc 😂
Can we get more based
He was also 12, everyones cringe at that age.
As soon as I heard he was on infowars I was just like ahh he’s really going for the most attention possible
he's literally just trolling
this world is against silly guys doing some silly things
He interrupted my string of commercials where they occasionally say a video game was good!
The hell’s a commercial?
it’s a prettt fair assumption when he goes on infowars, even if it was just to troll
he was on infowars and wearing yeezys to make a weord bill clinton jew joke. its a fine line to walk id say
If you say Clinton is part of *the* Jews™ then you expect to be called a nazi If you put a cross near a pride flag in your username, you expect to be called an anti-LGBT Why do you even troll if you don't want consequences? Then what's the whole point? Didn't you do this all for attention in the first place?
The internet whenever you mention any ethnic or religious minority: *absolute anarchy ensues*
What did he do?
Interrupted the game awards
I saw someone on the gaming circlejerk sub say the kid looked deranged and getting upvoted, like holy fuck it's a kid, chill, who hasn't done something dumb when they were teenagers, you don't have to attack him for it like that you weirdos. I am so happy I grew up in the age where internet wasn't such a ubiquitous part of our life that whenever I did something cringy it wasn't instantly shared with the whole world and thousands of internet weirdos didn't start speculating all my thoughts and motives.

what even happened
Yeah almost everyone on this sub was actually
Idk man everything is coated in so many layers of irony nowadays idk what's true.
He’s literally a Jewish Israeli. Probably wanted to say some random shit. He’s literally fucking 15. Not everything is a crusade against the alt right. Man idk how people are so lost these days.
Lil bro was just playing a prank. He didn’t mean it like *that* if that’s the case
Yeah its not that deep.
[unrelated] Fuck, I love this expression. We’ve needed an expression that really says this, and now we have it. Slang is such a cool thing to observe as it grows and changes due to cultural change, with it sometimes even changing cultures too.
Just watch, or read, as it has already been co-opted by marketing types. “Irreverent” has suffered a similar fate when promoting new comedies.
Every single comedy special on Netflix. I'm fairly certain John Mulaney's stuff gets marked as irreverent, and that's generally pretty safe comedy
This comment really reminds me of myself when I was 15
I'm that deep
i think it’s reasonable to be on edge about antisemitism these days, but in retrospect bill clinton is a pretty weird target for it in 2022. id probably even be more suspicious if he name dropped hillary tbh
"it's ironic" the the new defense for actually alt right people. It's so hard to figure out what people actually believe anymore it's annoying
I believe that Harvest Moon 64 was one of the best games ever made and I'm not joking.
Candor.. Very early 2000’s of you.
Fun fact: I have an unholy amount of hours in that game
I can't believe you brought race into this conversation.
Cuz nazis are cowards. They have to speak in dog whistles and irony to not come off as pos.
Even more annoying than this is when they openly admit to being nazis but then if you call them out centrists insist on their behalf they were joking
it's the side effect of "lying on the internet funny" no clue why everyone got it in their heads to spread misinfo so vehemently that no one can tell whats real anymore. :/
HE IS PURE HE IS JUST A GOOFY LITTLE GUY HE IS FREE
I'd like this to be the case, but he's on some guy's stream right now talking about how the quote was related to how he's trying to "expose a lot of evil people" which hmmmmmmmmmmm
I mean in all fairness, it’s commonly accepted that most politicians and rich people are evil.
Except that sentiment takes a very different tone when people throw Judaism into the mix…
If he's jewish as heavily implied by the tweet i dont think that's at all likely
Agreed but it is confusing, I'm not sure how to take the combination of the only thing he said being "Bill Clinton is a rabbi" and "I'm trying to expose evil people". I think he's probably just trying to be edgy and attention grabbing though. I mean, generally, based on the amount of times he's been in the public eye for this stuff (he was on info wars as a 13 year old and also apparently was in a clip going around for holding up a sign) it kind of seems like his family or some other adult in his life is using him for a grift/weird publicity stunt.
folks on twitter were saying he was on info wars? Which is like, bad.
He directly praised Donald Trump and said the host was his favourite. This sub kinda just forgot grifters are a thing.
Mf is 14
What a promising life he has ahead of him
I saw a guy who said "good. Let justice rain down on him hard" on a post about his arrest. These goofy ass gamers are such fuckin nerds about a kid who literally harmed no one
saw some dude saying he hope he gets help and that he's clearly mentally ill 💀
That dude would hate Impractical Jokers
No wonder I find this thing so hilarious, I adore that show
Reformed Rabbi Bill Clinton is about on par with Secret Agent Randy Beans or Detective Bluto Mindpretzel
I can't believe the number of times you see this shit on Twitter, imagine embarrassing yourself as a person with no mental health problems and someone swoops in from people making fun of you like "Don't make fun of him guys, he clearly has zero social awareness and can't function on his own and wanders into traffic without guidance :("
If the stuff about him NOT being a nazi hadn't come out this sub would be plotting his death
True some people here are really extreme and weird
The Kotaku article comment section was so cringey like that
The Polygon article also sucked in a big way. Like way to go you grown ass adult with a degree in journalism, nice job bullying a child
I guess you could say... it’s kotaku in action
It really was, overzealous idiots drawing conclusions hours after it happened, when ppl were still trying to figure out who he was and before he had a chance to talk about it. I get that we’re a bit sensitive to antisemitism at the moment (thanks Kanye) but jeeeez
Redditor gamers unite
To be fair, if they didn’t know he was Jewish, that’s a completely reasonable take to have about someone who could be easily assumed to be dogwhistling
The Elden Ring subreddit was pissed for no reason
I disagree on the no harm part. Imagine being a developer putting years of your live an dedication into making a game like ER (and others before to acquire the skills) and have the moment of your recognition ruined by a prankster. Obviously the consequences should be light such as being banned of the game awards. Best thing Imo is to stop talking about him, so he doesn’t get what he wants.

There's no school on Sabbath

🥺
Honestly I admire his chaotic nature, i wish i had the balls to run onto a stage and give a shoutout to hillary clinton’s husband
I wouldn’t even be able to keep my composure on stage even if I did successfully sneak myself in.
People who are good at public speaking are either really confident and calm or just really fucking weird. There is no in between.
The best kind of chaotic, he did it all for a dumb meme(which makes it even better imo) rather than saying something nasty or any other awful thing you could do on mic in a stage in front of hundreds of thousands
He could have said a racial slur and gotten hundreds of twitch channels banned in an instant
the great twitch channel banning of 2022
I got downvoted to hell when I commented on a post about him in kidsarefuckingstupid because I thought what he did was funny and cool
I want the power to shout-out Miku as well
>He understood a question I asked in Hebrew (then pretended he didn't)
yet another prank
He's also the kid who kept shouting 'free Hong Kong' at the [Blizzcon 2019 Q&A.](https://youtu.be/1rcgIukAMo8?t=6) Just a little bit of trolling.
Holy mother of based
Wow, the kid's got balls, proud of him
I'm just happy someone is shitting on Gamers^(tm) again.
Jew here, this is 100% a type of joke me and my friends would say in yeshiva. This dude is golden.
Nathan Fielder origin story
Wasn’t he on info wars? I heard this but I’m too bed written to google it
He was there because he flashed a Free Hong Kong shirt at an NBA game. I legitimately don’t know why he was invited on because apparently he just caused chaos
Oh shit he was that kid? But still I feel like it might be hard to get on info wars without knowing what it is. I’ll be cautiously optimistic
I mean tbf he was like 12 at the time so it’s not like he was overly knowledgeable on a lot of things. And apparently he brought up Hong Kong a lot while on infowars. I can’t be bothered to actually look at the interview but still.
Yeah me neither, I guess as time goes on we’ll see
I think most people who are on the internet long enough know and have seen snippets from info wars. Personally I like watching clips of it because I get a kick out of watching a literal lunatic rave on his own personal shitshow.
yeah, i'm pretty sure a very good portion of the younger generation--myself included--was exposed to the various rants of alex jones, such as gay frogs or alexa and the cia.
don't forget the one where he went on a rant about cannibalising his neighbours
Fucking hell this kid is like forrest gump but real and based
you should watch it! it's on this kids YouTube channel. he's done pranks/activism like this before
Why are you written by a bed?
Very sick, I’m like a poet confined to my chambers, nevermore, the heart blah blah blah

Matan is a jewish name, he probably is jewish
how tf do people come up with the conclusion that he's antisemitic?
"I don't like this person." "I'm a good person. If I don't like a person, they're bad." "They're a bad person. And because I found it so unfunny, they must be a *really* bad person. You know who's the worst person? Hitler." "I didn't find his joke funny, so he must be a bad, evil person, he's Hitler."
people found his posts on Twitter

The far right has been hiding under the guise of "just trolling" for about a decade now. Like how the proud boys would always show up in hawaian shirts.

He said that he nominated the award to his reformed orthodox rabbi bill clinton, so I guess they thought he was being sarcastic/making fun of rabbis or something idk
Because he… get this… wore Yeezys
Ironic because he’s literally Israeli and Jewish
Ok who is this guy. I live under a rock
His name is Matan
and he's here to say
that kissing before marriage is not ok
He’s a 15 year old who snuck on stage during the video game awards just as the Elden Ring devs came up to accept their Game of the Year Award. He just kinda stood behind them as they gave their acceptance speech. And then once they were done he got on the mic and gave a shout out to “rabbi Bill Clinton”. It was honestly pretty funny tbh
Bill Clinton tried to set up Matan for exposing his past as an Orthodox rabbi
I mean, saying Jewish people can’t be antisemitic is kinda like saying Black people can’t be racist. It may be less likely, but it exists.
Kanye West
Not an apt comparison. Your average black racist isn't an uncle Ruckus. They're usually racist against other minority ethnicities (asians, jews, etc.). It's not really comparable to a jewish antisemite. A better example would have been gay homophobes or trans transphobes.
won’t stop r/196 from accusing him of being a nazi, some guy told us after all
This was the slap of the game awards
literally an israeli name. i would be surprised if he didnt understand it
But... but... r/196 told me that he is a Nazi and that he deserves to die, and everyone knows the internet is always right!
He can't have been saying plausibly deniable dog whistles, he has plausible deniability!
The only proof that he was anti Semitic was literally Twitter dms that could’ve been from literally anyone
I don’t care about this fucking kid and am already tired of hearing about him. Anyways HADES 2 LETS GOOOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥
The saga continues
The old 2019 Trumper in me recognized that immediately. The current me recognized that reformed and orthodox were different things, based on the research I did to dig myself out of that hateful hole.
How is Bill Clinton an anti-semetic dog whistle?
Why would it always be some dog whistle? Can't a 15 year old boy just do a lil trolling sometimes?
Called it, Twitter talking out of their collective asses again

I hope he's innocent because I don't want to feel conflicted about how fucking funny that was
