**Binjpipe** (Stylized binjpipe) is a fictional business that appears frequently throughout *The Jackbox Party Pack 5*. The most prominent appearance is as an artificial intelligence posing as a streaming service in *You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream*, voiced by Alyssa Davis.

## Appearances

### You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream

Binjpipe's most common and well known appearance is in *You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream*, where it takes on the appearance of a streaming service. In truth, it is an artificial intelligence. While it may at first appear that Binjpipe is merely shady by mining user data, it is eventually revealed just how sinister and scary the algorithm is; it seeks to absorb users and turn them into content, just as it did with Cookie Masterson to host the game. It is also capable of 'resetting' people if they ever become conscious that they are in the virtual reality Binjpipe created.

Beyond the "evil"—and "scary"—side of Binjpipe, it appears as a side character that occasionally buts in during questions or dialog, similarly to characters like Helen or Old Man. It will take over hosting duties to present a question in Binjpipe Recommends categories, offer players the occasional choice between two different questions, and hand out screws to the lowest ranked players and/or the players that performed the worst on the Dis or Dat. Additionally, Binjpipe will talk directly to the player during the sign-in process, giving slight insights into its service and terms of conditions like all corporate conglomerates .

### Patently Stupid

A branch of Binjpipe known as La Binja Inn and Suites appears in *Patently Stupid*. The building has a conference room that plays host to a seminar hosted by Toby and Lena, who aim to turn peoples creativity into lucrative inventions. It is not specified, however, whether Toby and Lena work for Binjpipe or are just staying at the suite.

### Mad Verse City

A building called Binjbox exists in *Mad Verse City*, and appears to be a video rental store. This building, unlike others, cannot be destroyed during the waiting process.

### Fibbage 4

Binjpipe plays a shockingly big role in Fibbage 4. While not appearing physically, they are the makers of Masterson, C.: an AI replica of Cookie Masterson who hosts this installment at the place of Cookie. Masterson, C. is practically indistinguishable from Cookie Masterson, with the only difference being that his voice is slightly modulated if you were to listen closely *(and for the fact it praises binjpipe to the high heavens on multiple occasions)*. The AI begins to break down during one of the game's patched in special episodes, and during Tom Gottlieb's cameo: several boxes can be seen filled with the AI's spare parts and accessories behind him. At the end, the AI mutters "Binjpipe, still hungers." with an incredibly staticky voice, showing that the company is still suffering from financial struggles and is barely holding on, yet is still trying to expand their crumbling empire no matter the cost.

## Misconceptions

Despite popular opinion, The voice of Binjpipe is NOT a host. They do not consistently appear throughout the game (only showing up in on the title screen, during round cues to announce their screw distribution service and during special episodes), they do not give out instructions, nor do they partake in calling out wrong answers like Cookie Masterson delights in doing. As well as them only hosting questions during Binjpipe Presents. Due to this, they are better classified as a side character, like Old Man or Helen.
