About

Unlimited Bacon or Unlimited Games also known as Unlimited Games, But No Games refers to a Would You Rather question originally posed to the APL Fisher and Mr Sark on the YouTube channel Machinima's "Respawn Inbox" series, where a viewer named Matt asks, "Unlimited bacon and no video games or unlimited video games and no video games." The incorrectly phrased question has since been popularized by YouTuber JSchlatt who regularly poses what he calls "The Question" to other YouTubers. In 2024, the phrase "unlimited bacon" came to be used to joke about people who use the PlayStation 5, and thus chose "no games."

Origin

In a "Respawn Inbox" segment of the now-deleted YouTube channel Machinima, hosts APL Fisher and Mr Sark encountered the viewer-submitted question, "Would you like endless bacon, but no more games, or would you like games, unlimited games, and no games."

The badly phrased query prompted the hosts to laugh, with Mr. Sark joking, "What kind of retarded genie woulda come out of this lamp," and then saying in a dramatic voice, "Would you like endless bacon and no more games, or games, endless games, but no games."

A re-upload of the scene was posted by DBV666 to YouTube^[1] on March 4th, 2014, titled, "Endless Bacon!" The post gathered over 300,000 views in eleven years.

On February 13th, 2021, YouTuber^[2] JSchlatt posed the question in a Chuckle Sandwich video that gathered over 1.2 million views in four years.
