Yep, that's the image that shows up in Split the Room (P5) for a split second when censoring a prompt. it's stored in the same action file as the cutscene skip animation. Yep, that's the one.

One of the hosts for Mad Verse City (P5), Shadowmaster MC, is a real life rapper in Chicago. He was recruited by the Jackbox team, and audio lead Andy Poland recalls Shadowmaster improvising his own rap over Poland’s beat for the game’s theme song. Director Ben Jacobs “got emotional” over it.

A rare episode skeleton in You Don’t Know Jack: Full Stream (P5) features an guest appearance by Jimmy Fallon, who reads his own question before proceeding to interrupt Cookie throughout the course of the game. Director Arnie Niekamp recalls moving to New York to record with Fallon and Tom Gottlieb in NBC Studios.

Fallon considers himself to be a fan of Jackbox Games; prior to this cameo, Fallon played a game of Quiplash 2 in December 2017 with Steve Higgins and the members of The Roots.

Didn't get around to posting at 1, so let's make this a quick and dirty You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream (P5) double feature:

The action project files for the game feature leftover assets for what appears to be a very early prototype of the game, pictured below, featuring eight players and a crudely drawn "SCREW ME" sign.

In related news, the content files for the aforementioned game, as well as the other ones in The Jackbox Party Pack 5, feature subtitles for the dialogue audio. I'm not sure if similar captions exist for non-content (i.e. Binjpipe's menu dialogue) audio.

As evidenced by the subtitles in the data file for this question's voice line, which features voice direction for Cookie's voice actor Tom Gottlieb and uncensored dialogue, these may simply be remnants from the game's script.

Cookie: (kind of over the top like this is going to be a great quesiton) Imagine Jon Hamm got trapped inside the Bukkowski book Ham on Rye… Jimmy: [laughs] Yeah. Great premise. Cookie: You scared the shit out of me. Jimmy: Could I do another question? Cookie: [fast sort of frustrated noise]

The word “zeeple,” in the context of Zeeple Dome (P5), is a verb meaning to fling something with the objective of “removing the liquids of the object being flung,” as well as a noun meaning an arena with fluids and low gravity. It is also used in the sense of “a zeeple of angry sharks,” similar to the name for a murder of crows.

When a player answers “fuck you” during a Gibberish Question in You Don’t Know Jack: Full Stream (P5), Cookie will comment on their response as usual, though he won’t deduct extra money or change their name as in previous games in lieu of presenting the following message about the Easter egg’s history on their device:

Congratulations! You Typed “F*** You!”

Please accept this certificate of acknowledgement that you've participated in the storied history of the YOU DON'T KNOW JACK "F*** You" Easter Egg. Either you went looking for this, or you're just a dirty bird that triggered this by accident. In any case, you did it, and we're bound by the unbreakable chains of this legacy feature to let you know that we "see what you did there." Good work.

When we launched the original YOU DON'T KNOW JACK, the world was a simpler place. Colors were brighter. People seemed to laugh a lot more in those days. And the idea of a computer game talking to you like a real person was brand new. We thought it only made sense that if you swore at the host, he'd say, "F*** me? No, f*** you!" and take away a bunch of cash. Except we didn't bleep it because we were a bunch of young mavericks.

But even in that first game, if you did it twice, we pointed out how unoriginal you were. Three times and we just ended the game. The problem is, once you establish a bit like that, you kind of have to do it in the sequels too.

So, we did pretty much the same joke in the subsequent games, trying to top the absurdity each time. We changed player names. Old Man got involved. Schmitty swore a lot. In Lost Gold, we included the hidden game Gorilla Hunter. And in Headrush, Abraham Lincoln had sex with a goat. Maybe? We asked Andy Poland about it and he said "That's what happens when you direct, host and do SFX for a game. No one intervenes." The point is, it's hard to top that one.

Which brings us to today. You gave us the same setup and you want a new punchline. Is this a cry for help? Is it the only way you can truly feel alive? Well, we hope you found what you were looking for somewhere in here. Oh, we almost forgot the abuse: You're dumb! There we go.

And one final thing…

Prior to the introduction of moderation in The Jackbox Party Pack 7, Pack 4 introduced the ability for the first player to join a game to manually censor answers as they are shown. In Split the Room (P5), the censor button for player one is not distinguished from regular answers, with mildly amusing results.

This screenshot was taken by myself during the course of a streamed game. The streamer and writer of the answer will be anonymous.

The project files for You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream (P5) include a scrapped post-game feature, referred to in the graphics as "Binjpipe Gratuitous Data." To my knowledge, it is not referenced anywhere in the game's code outside of the project file for the scoreboard sequence, wherein the scrapped feature is fully animated, seen below.

Judging by the Tee K.O. placeholder text, it likely would have worked similarly to the highlights in other Jackbox titles. It's worth noting that the localization file for YDKJ:FS is reused from Fibbage 3 and contains text from that game's highlights.
