Should I put my entire 401K into Gamestop (GME)?

I don't have a very good understanding of the stock market, but I know that's a bad idea. From the very little research I've done, this huge surge in Gamestop stock is only temporary. Unless you have a good understanding of the stock market I wouldn't invest anywhere near that amount of money.

You usually cannot put your 401K into ONE stock. You can put it into one FUND--which is also just as stupid--but you can't specify what stocks your fund invests in. And if you're talking about withdrawing it and buying Gamestop stock, for crying out loud--get some intervention for delusional behavior because that's one of the stupidest things you can do. You'll pay penalties, taxes and lose your retirement completely--and if you're not at your fund's distribution age, you won't be able to withdraw the entire amount anyway.

No 1 stock, MF, or ETF should be 100% of your 401k.

No.  I'm saying that not because of anything about Gamestop in particular, but simply because you shouldn't put your entire 401K into any one stock.
