The protect in SCP’s motto more so is protecting the SCP’s or rather goes both ways, to my knowledge, lives lost be it scp or human is just...”meh, on to the next test” for them
there’s so much variety in the SCP universe and that’s what i love about it. we have the “you do not recognize the bodies in the water” to a dog that can boil water by shaking its fur so hard.
My favorites run the spectrum in tone from 'To the Cleverest', a sentient monkey-clapping-cymbals statue that chooses whoever can pull the most impressive prank as its owner (which set off a prank war in one of the sites as all the researchers tried to outdo each other), to 'When Day Breaks', an apollyon-class event where sunlight (and moonlight) fucking melts people into goo abominations on contact, which only live to convert others into more abominations by force or deception. There's SCP's that are genuinely light-hearted and funny, and others that will make you sleep with the lights on for weeks, and horror for every taste. You like body horror? We got you covered. Cosmic horror? Gather round and take your pick. I've actually had an SCP I've been writing and planning to submit to the official community forums to see whether or not it's liked enough to be accepted into canon, but it's been on the backburner for a good while now while I focus on other projects.
When I saw the cognito-hazard warning I thought that Wendigoon was going to talk about that SCP. It was one of first ones that really freaked me out and fascinated me at the same time.
I love the way SCP stories go from horror to stupid. Like, one of my favourite SCPs is a crew of coconut crabs who act like pirates, with their leader being a large crab who speaks like a Pirate.
@@requiem-girl Damn I was going to mention myself, too. I will say, though, that my second favorite SCP might be 2730. It is Gilbert Gottfried, except it's really a duck wearing Gilbert Gottfried's face.
My favorite SCP is 962, aka “The Tower of Babble”. It’s a 281-meter-tall tower of steel and wood, that turns animals into crude facsimiles of humans for its work force, and occasionally sends out balloons with papers containing essays about how the tower admires humans.
I just read the article for this SCP and omg. 😂 It’s amazing. Just the idea of a BUILDING that is sentient and deforms animals to look like humans is amazing. It looks like….this building has a crush on humans. I wonder if it’s really that friendly. I would like to read about humans interacting with the building to see what happens. The building can write, so there is a chance of communication.
I read a completely different SCP also called the Tower of Babel, a sandstone incomplete tower with an antique radio set on the inside, the radios are playing in every language and anyone who gets close finds that they cannot understand those around them
Used to read SCPs when I worked night shifts some years back, they were (and still are) so captivating and downright eerie in places. Some people are too talented for their own good. I'm just glad they're using their powers to write fiction.
I agree, some like the house of the worm are so well done. I would love for some like minded people to come together and make these into well done short films.
@@Wendigoon it's starting to pick up pace the movie/animation adaptation scene of SCP, I just hope that in my life time I get to see a big budget / mainstream production of something scp related
One of my favorite SCP stories is the one about a humanoid Cthulhu who just wants to relax and play video games, but unintentionally causes cults to spring up and worship him just by existing. He hates this, but can’t stop it from happening. So he turns himself in to the foundation for protection, resulting in cultists occasionally attacking the facility under the assumption he’s been imprisoned.
I love the bit where the cult infiltrates his cell and do a bunch of rituals to try to “free” him but he just sits there in his gaming chair like “come on guys, that’s a new carpet can you just go?”
One of My favorites is a grey tabby cat with no bottom half. Not amputated or deformed, just doesn’t exist. She *suspends* .She still walks and acts like a normal cat, and she’s allowed free reign of the halls on her level.
My favourite is the additional note that under no circumstances should you feed her cheese… because she’ll get upset if you can’t feed her enough cheese. Got to love Josie
Or a teality warping emtity that reshapes the entire universe just to torture one guy for millions of years to a piece of metal that makes you misspell a single word when writing about it
When you decide to read the SCP stories, you need to keep in mind two statements: 1. There is no canon 2. Everything is canon Both of them are equally right.
It'd be more accurate to say "there are many canons". Newcomers get confused by "there is no canon" and think that there's no continuity at all between pages
Its like a modern mythology, its all linked together but theres about a billion versions of everything that are all equally valid, its up to the individual to do enough research and thinking to build their own canon and what it means to them
the craziest scp I've seen is scp-2137, which is tupac's ghost attempting to help the SCP foundation defeat the scarlet king through giving information in music tracks
I like the orb monster that is fully intent on scaring humans, so they show it 50s monster movies and have all its handlers pretend to get scared when it appears as the Wolfman, Frankenstein, etc.
@@arcanefunds2645 That's exactly why they have it in containment and feed it old 50's monster movies for info on what humans find scary in the first place. AND all the researchers who interact with the SCP have to take acting classes or otherwise be good actors so they can give convincing reactions of fear when they interact with the SCP. Otherwise, it might start experimenting and exploring different ideas for what's "scary".
Since we're all sharing, the one scp that stuck with me through all this time is the one who comes to people before just they die to comfort them and talk to them if they don't have anyone else in the room with them as they go.
i can't remember the number, but my favorite scp involves an area in idaho where posters containing complete nonsense just pop up. along with the posters, a bunch of people around there start heavily supporting the message in the posters. for example, one poster said "Shooting yourself increases your bullet tolerance."
Wendi seems like the type of guy to make a series akin to the Conspiracy iceberg where he just goes through all ~7500 articles and analyzes every one of them
Let's hope bc he sais that he wanted to talk more about it and I only found one other video of it (about 001) and I would love to watch an ridiculously long video about it!!
My personal favorite interpretation of 05-13 is the idea that they're a person they picked up off the street. That the 05 council gets desensitized to things over years of anomalies and forget what is and isnt normal. So they get a random person off the street to determine if something is actually normal or not.
I can just imagine the 05 popping up in a white van, yanking a random joe off the streets and asking them if an origami crane that can speak fluent greek and believes it is a planet is weird.
Suspicious street Interviewer: If you found out that pain was caused by a parasite that cranked the pain on full blast once you died (you can still feel it, obviously), would you end humanity to try to kill it? Person: Uhhh not unless there's no other way to kill it Suspicious street Interviewer to other suspicious street interviewers: He said no, but that's still 12-1! Suspicious street interviewer 2: Hell yeah!
@@AkoTE. 05 council: asks that question. Random person: Uh... yes? ...wait. IS THAT SERIOUSLY THE ENTIRE REASON YOU KIDNAPPED ME?!? IT WAS JUST TO ASK THAT ONE STUPID QUESTION?
I think my favorite SCP is 5031, he’s just a sweet guy who just wants to cook and play piano and the story of the researchers actually caring about him and teaching him warmed my heart
Horrifying to look at, and will turn invisible/disappear if you actually do look at it, but is an absolute delight to be around. That is definitely one of the best SCPs!
As far as the multiple universes thing goes, I remember reading that they sent SCP-682 (a nearly unkillable dragon-like creature) to another dimension. It was "returned" with a note saying something to the effect of: "He's your problem, not ours."
I thought what happened was they sent him through but the other dimension also sent theirs with a note saying "It's your problem now, suckers" meaning they both just swapped 682s.
Let's remember that 682 got dropped into a literal patch of nothingness in russia, where everything that entered it ceased to exist, and he came back just fine.
@@timez957 Jesus, i forgot about that one. Is that the one where it looks like a normal patch of forest but is actually nothing? Related to pattern screamers if i remember correctly?... I haven't read SCP in a while lol. I don't know why that one is particularly frightening to me. So scary to think i could just be walking through a forest and suddenly not exist anymore, much more scary than being chased by even the most horrific Lovecraftian monster
@@voxlknight2155 "So scary to think i could just be walking through a forest and suddenly not exist anymore" to be fair, that forest IS in Russia, so anyone walking into it is already in nothingess
Another SCP similar is a notebook which is called a list of failed termination attempts (I forget the exact name) and lists the often comically terrible effects of some termination attempts that other parallel universes attempted for some SCPs with my favourite being one where they say fuck it, launch 682 into space and detonate the entire planets nuclear arsenal on top of it but 1/2mL of blood remains and 682 grows to the size of Saturn and devours the solar system
The reason Dr clef isn't affected by 166 is because he isn't affected by any scps. I like the canon in which he's a powerful reality Bender Who was super traumatized by another reality Bender and as a result his subconscious rejects the idea of the anomalous which leads him to essentially Bend reality back to normal completely subconsciously.
He's actually a Reality Anchor, a being that reverts reality back to normalcy, which opposes Reality *Benders* that can *bend* reality itself on a whim, and it's Clef that can "unbend reality". Although Clef being a Reality Bender that doesn't believe in the anomalous is funny
Honestly I’m a fan of both theories fused together. He’s an scp who subconsciously rejects the anomalous and acts as the neutralising agent to the acidity of the SCPs, but he also once felt for an SCP (possibly bc she might also have known a trauma unique to anomalous creatures and their interactions with other anomalies) and they fell for each other in a love that ultimately could never be thanks to the world they lived in and the paths both had already been walking. One that both crossed paths before going separate ways once more until fate in its cruelty brought them together again in the only way it could have inevitably ended (especially because of how he will always act as an antithesis to the anomalous and to change such a key component of himself that he isn’t even aware of to its true extent, potentially, would mean smashing the glass window that is Dr. Clef, SCP Researcher/former MTF member.)
In the SCP universe there used to be an emotion that got erased by an SCP. An entire emotion that nobody can feel anymore, of course it's redacted but it still is very cool.
There is also an SCP (SCP-6002) in which an entire animal kingdom was removed. I heard it from The Exploring Series. Their videos are all great and I highly suggest listening to more of their videos
Yep; reality is pretty mutable in The Foundation's universe. One of the SCP-6000 contest entries last year was a tree that's sympathetically linked to all life on earth - branches representing entire species, that will wither and die as the species does and vice-versa. The Foundation abused it to profit by selling medicine for diseases they introduced to all of the world's livestock using it; and in the process they fucked things up so badly that an entire order of animals - on the scale of 'mammals' or 'reptiles' - had to be cut off to slow the progression of the rot. Now only a handful of people remember that they ever existed, despite many of them being domesticated pets and livestock that were an integral part of all of our lives a few months prior.
it’s kinda sad to see ppl you care about having episodes and you don’t know what to do to help them, my schizophrenic friend gets them regularly and it hurts my heart every time bc he just panics a lot and can’t calm down
@@SquidwardsBigFatNose I don’t have schizophrenia but I do tend to get super paranoid easily, I still watch these videos because I enjoy them. Every now and then I get too paranoid and have to call a friend to convince myself that I’m safe but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying this content. Disclaimers help me with my paranoia a lot, just rewinding back to it and very now and then throughout the video let’s me be able to watch it in one go without freaking out too much. Just because it get spooked easy doesn’t mean I shouldn’t allow myself to watch content I enjoy. The idea that people who have difficulty with certain content shouldn’t watch it is a very ableist mindset, I know you didn’t mean it in such a way but it’s been used against those with mental health issues and disabilities so often that you should be aware that it’s a harmful mindset.
I like to think SCP-001 is simply the awareness of being a writing project. The reason it's so hidden? For the benefit of you, the reader; it represents your suspension of disbelief. If you think about it too much, it would ruin your experience with SCP, because you'd constantly be laughing at how unrealistic everything is. In-canon, it works the same; reading it would simply mean you've realised that you are little more than the words and thoughts of a group of people on the internet.
Curiously, the hyper-adorable SCP-999 in some canons is the seventh child of the Scarlet King, who was born in secret. He has already defeated SCP-682, who's the Fourth child, and it has been predicted that his powers will grow over time and eventually he will overthrow the Scarlet King with the power of love (I'm not kidding).
wow, just wow, the little adorable orange blob is the answer to the scarlet king, just wow. now that I think about it, what would happen if 999 affected other SCP's, would shy guy stop crying if he interacted with it?
Quick note. Depending on reader interpretation in the story of scp-5000 the scp foundation doesn’t necessarily become evil and kill everyone. It’s pretty heavily implied that there was some form of scp that either took over the foundation or there was an scp that had infected the mind of everyone and the foundation had to kill everyone to keep the scp from progressing. It’s up to reader interpretation but I thought I’d point that out as I really like that story.
I don’t recall exactly but I think there was an explanation for why they started killing everyone. It wasn’t that they were taken over, they uncovered something so horrific that the only way to save humanity is to wipe it out. Something to do with the fact that there is not afterlife but neither is death a void. I don’t quite remember but it was bad enough that it made them seem like the good guys again.
It's complicated, the idea is effectively that a cognitohazard of incredible power got spread through the foundation that convinced them that anybody alive who wasn't affected by it was better off dead. But the implication is that the foundation is convinced that they've actually just been inoculated against a larger cognitohazard that already affected all of humanity, so they think everyone else is the one affected. The clever part is that functionally speaking, if everyone on Earth was affected by a cognitohazard, a defense against that would work the same way as a normal cognitohazard, because baseline human thought has been so thoroughly contorted by the broader cognitohazard that there's no difference between a defense from the broader one and a normal cognitohazard. So you can take it as the foundation going crazy or as them being the only ones who know better, because those explanations would both cause the same response. With that said, I'm pretty sure the article implies that the foundation is actually under a cognitohazard and that the idea that the whole rest of the world was is wrong, because individuals like Dr. Bright who can't be affected by cognitohazards weren't changed by the message that the foundation sent out that contained the supposed inoculation, which should have worked if it wasn't anomalous. But that's just my take.
@@jordanfry5138 yeah that’s why I said it’s up to the interpretation of the reader. It’s so vague, and that’s why I love that story. It really keeps you guessing and thinking about it long after you’re done reading it which is the sign of a great scp story.
@@khamazon8893 not really up to the reader. There is an anomaly in the human psychospace that has such horrific plans for humanity that the best way to save it is to wipe out humanity
@@Lorlic1138they apparently found something that has an effect of removing human qualities, which is why most of the people being controlled were stone cold killers and couldn't feel pain.
Hell yeah, it's also one of my favorites too. While the rest of the 05 is scrambling to figure out what 05-13 is, the fact that he's just an ordinary guy really breaks the continuous anomalous property of the story. It's quite refreshing every once in a while.
My favorite SCP is SCP-2521 (or SCP- OO I OOOOO I OO I O) The idea behind it when I looked on the wiki for the first time is genius. An SCP that can only be described through symbols and pictures cuz every verbal description or any writings about it causes it to appear and take the info (or the author) with it. By far my most favorite concept. It really caught my intere-
This is my top 3 favourite scp, besides that it got a dope design, I love it's ability, it's simple and creative which is rare to see in SCP nowadays especially in infohazard ones, they are well written of course but I don't want to just understanding the basics of it's power by reading a full book of someone's politic manifesto, it's to a point of just seeing a random page of SCP that requires me to scroll over 5 time just to reach to the bottom of it's document makes me not even wanting to read it
Add to that the fact that it gets associated with completely unrelated videos and so on, and gets mentioned in the real world, but never really manages to make its way into broad global recognition outside of the internet, and it turns into something that could be an SCP itself. Keter Class, but harmless.
i remember hearing a joke or maybe it was serious but they said that the scp foundation is actually real and the way they hide themselves is by creating the scp wiki and now everyone thinks its fictional
Wait now that I think of it, if I had to guess what this SCP was about it would be that the I can't believe it's not butter products trick people into thinking they are butter when they are not. Like, I personally cannot believe it's not butter. I had that in I think middle school and it was basically butter, but it's always possible that stuff like that isn't what we think it is and no one can prove it. Extremely unlikely but possivle which is fun to think about
I think this one is real because there is no way I can't believe it's not butter isn't actually just butter. despite the name I always took for granted that it was butter, and no one can tell me otherwise
I remember hearing about an SCP that was just a video of like a childs basketball game or something, but every time it's replayed, the people in the video become more and more self aware that they are in a video and it gets real real dark real fast.
I think I know exactly which one you're talking about! I don't remember the number but the SCP is a VHS tape of a basketball game. When inserted and played, it starts off normally but once the tape finishes and then restarts, the people in the video start acting differently and getting a sense of deja vu. This continues on to them realizing that they cannot escape, leading to a lot of gruesome stuff. However, once the tape is taken out, they forget everything again and it starts all over
My favorite SCP is SCP-5031, its a genuinely a sweet story where you think "oh its just another murder monster nothing special" but they learn and connect with people and like to cook. I love this guy so much
My favorite is probably 5558. It’s about an 18 year old who goes by Princess and can’t respond to anything else. It has an anomalous head deformity that turns their head into a huge ball of flesh with 50-100 facial features (eyes, noses, ears…). Objects such as sex toys, porn magazines, and soda teleport near it. It’s super damn weird but I love it.
My favorite SCP is 049, but I also have a fondness for sympathetic/sad/wholesome ones. Like the Bear With a Heart of Patchwork (SCP 2295), Here Were Dragons (SCP 1762), A Gift From Dad (SCP 348), things like that. There’s something so strangely comforting about reading bittersweet stories like those.
What if King Solomon is the head of the council? He could have been given immortality by the Gate Guardian as a reward for his dedication to protect humanity through founding the foundation.
I'll do you one better, each member of the 05 council is related to a different origin of the SCP foundation and somehow came together as a collective. They may not be the same person but they are similar in that they each made this their mission and due to dimensional or time fuckery from any number of SCPs they came together and decided it best to work together to try and prevent such things.
@@see4881 it's like existing, but not in a way you're used to so nothing makes sense, and nothing exists around you, but you're fully aware of your surroundings (or lack thereof) and are also aware of the fact that there are things that exist, somewhere, but for some reason you can't find or access them, and it's forever and you're not allowed to die.
as someone who's wanted to be an scp fan for years but is way too intimidated by just how much there would be to go through to understand things, I'm very grateful for this video
I love the realistic inconsistencies of these creatures. One moment, you'd be dealing with an old god that has existed before the first humans then there's just a sentient tomato who can run more than 100mph.
@@Viking_Luchador biblically, yes. In SCP canon, something happened and for some reason, Abel was resurrected as a fierce and merciless warrior that slaughtered everything in his way. He had a box that whenever he died, he'd turn to ashes and would reform in it. This could take anywhere from a few hours to a few decades, but he would always come back. So yes, he was immortal.
31:50 i love how the only rule able to overcome the supernatural scp is that ''incest is gross'', thats like going to the skarlet king and being like, ''murder bad nu huh''
I love the concept of SCPs. The idea of a community containing strange objects, creatures and phenomena is so fascinating yet strangely believable. It’s just like an elaborate conspiracy theory. It reminds me of a book I read where extremely advanced technology was hidden underground because they were worried people won’t be ready, and the characters have to contain it
Some of my favourite SCPs are the ones that are fairly mundane and more of an inconvenience to keep catalogued than anything else. Though possible one of my fav entries is in the EX-SCPs (ex=explained meaning it's not longer anomalous, either no longer having the anomalous properties or just being explained). One of the EX SCPs described a mysterious rock which glowed under certain conditions and left streaks on photographic plates nearby and also anyone that stayed near it too long died. Turns out they had discovered uranium
I think one of my favourite examples of how to describe the 3 basic object classes is this one: A button that if pressed, destroys earth. Object class Safe because if you put it in a locked room, it's not going to press itself. A cat that randomly switches locations with another cat is a Keter because it's nearly impossible to keep in that room.

My absolute favorite is no one dies alone. Scp 4999 appears to individuals that are alone at their death from one way or another. Before they die he gives them a chance to get comforted.
Reminds me of Third Man Syndrome. An unseen presence reported by mountain climbers and explorers during traumatic survival situations that talks to the victim, gives practical advise and encouragement. Basically a real life version of 4999, just _before_ you die. It's one of my favorite pieces of fact
I love Trevor Henderson and his monsters, siren head was cool.... until the idiots and children got to it. Why do so many newer creepypasta fans think its a creepypasta too, why.
@@unholynoise3087 At this point I believe that the creepypasta wiki is just the scp wiki without moderation or actual adults. Sirenhead wasnt allowed by the staff to become an scp so it became a creepypasta for the children.
@@applesource8261 i dont even know how it became a creepypasta, it has lore, but not a whole ass official story about it. Someone made a cool game, then it blew up. I got pissed when people mixed marble hornets and creepy pasta but I understood that several creepypastas and the series itself was developed from a competition, basically havingthe same origin. But siren head came from an artist that to my knowledge has never made a creepypasta. Sometimes children just ruin things
@@unholynoise3087 idk how you define creepypasta but there definitely needs to be a definitive like written out story as the source material, siren head doesn’t have that
@@Deepseadread6 creepypastas are set stories usually about a monster/killer. They range from terrible to decent. Most follow this, but it has become a lot wider of a umbrella with other story types being added, like just normal scary stories. It's why creeypaste/horror narrators usually specify if its from a creepypasta forum, r/nosleep, or r/short stories. The marble hornets series was a arg based off a photoshop competition from about 11 years ago Siren head is a cool project monster with some minor lore without a specific plot to it. So yeah, if it was to be made into a official creepypasta Trevor Henderson would need to write a whole ass proper story, instead of just some facts about it. There are so many differences and I enjoy the enthusiasm but sirenhead would just be added to the trash fire of bad creepypasta characters, because I don't think its the type of beast that could make a memorable and proper story, no matter how shit some of the most "classic" of pastas are
it's also worth noting that the entire SCP universe started on 4chan, so it could also be a reference to 4chan leaking the existence of the SCP Foundation to the rest of the world. some guy made a post labelled SCP-173, then wrote the entire entry for 173 in the body of said post (that's why it's marked as "The Original" on the website).
Here, i can actually give an alternate description of the classification system to the best of my understanding of it, using parrots. Safe: All you gotta do is put a blanket over the cage and the parrot will go to sleep, or the parrot is perfectly content inside the cage Euclid: Parrot sometimes tries to escape the cage and you have to run after it before it flies into a neighbors tree and poops on their car Keter: The parrot can break the cage, or summon other parrots to break the cage for them and they must constantly be put back in. Thaumiel: The parrot will actually prevent other parrots from doing anything Apollyon: The parrot is an ethereal entity, and there either is no known cage that can contain them, or putting them in a cage just causes bird poop to materialize on every surface in the neighborhood. Either way, the parrot wins in the end and there is no way to escape it. Neutralized: Parrot cannot poop no more Explained: It was just a normal parrot all along.. Who knew? Maskur: Some assembly of parrot required. Hiemal: The parrot keeps pooping on everyone's cars but it's the only thing preventing a flock of inter-dimensional demon parrots from entering our world and pooping on everything in existence, and if we put the first parrot in the cage, then the demon parrots will be free to come into our reality.
the whole project of scp is like if a bunch of writers independently decided to come together to write a comic series with even less regard for continuity than normal and without doing retcons ever
believe me, if someone made a proper iceberg with All the hidden information, then you will be mortified. Infact, i am thinking of making one right now. But i need some help.
This video popped up in my recommended. I have never even heard of the word SCP before this video, but for some reason I watched to the end. It's sorta wild thinking how deep and interesting a universe's lore can be even if you never read or even heard of a single piece of content in that universe.
A good introduction are the channels The Volgun and The Exploring Series, the former reads them verbatim while the latter trys their best to explain them. I reccomend the videos on the Dead Sea Object, Reluctant Dimension Hopper, and The Flesh That hates; I don't remember their numbers, crucify me.
There was a running joke in comment posts for an "SCP expained" video, that the really lame SCP where everybody comes outside and is nice to each other (right at the beginning of some unmentioned XK class scenario), is the precursor moment that lures everybody outside...right before "when day breaks" activates (I forgot the number of the SCP, but I think it's called "the world gone beautiful" or something)
@@Imperial_Cosmonaut The World's Gone Beautiful, you're right. I don't think it was the daybreak event though because God was watching the earth, content with the way things were about to end. He said something like, “We had a good run. :)”
Personally my favourite is the Black Moon. Gives perspective of the Administrator and the beginnings of the SCP Foundation. Mento morri (not sure if thats the right spelling) is another good one, it is quite sad but gives a lot of information on the council and the Administrator. It also gives much needed personality to O5 command.
@@humanity_moment. Probably not 343 always seemed to like humanity and has no reason to end it.

055 has been one of if not my favorite scps ever, it's just so good and it could only work in the scp universe, the fact that they know NOTHING about it, other than it's not a sphere, and it's worth containing. (Actually it might not even be worth containing, the database itself says they speculate it could be there to spy on or interfere with the foundation, honestly it's so good it could be an 001 proposal)

My favorite O-5 XIII story is that all other O-5 council members are anomalous, but he is not, and they are trying to figure out in what way he is anomalous. But the reason he is a normal human to keep a human perspective on the council.
I heard a cool paradox about that, one of the laws of the universe or whatever is that all the O5s have to be anomalous, but 05-13 isn't, that means they break the known laws of the universe, which makes him anomalous, which means that they're now following the laws of the universe, which means they're anomalous...

Have you read the attached document to it? Its pretty interesting. Simply saying, SCP-2950 is whatever most people think it is, currently most people believe it is an unusually uncomfortable chair, however it was not always believed to be that.
My personal favourite for SCP-001 is the one about a group of higher dimensional entities that keep creating new SCPs and rewriting old ones to make them more dangerous, the implications here being that the users creating the SCP canon exist inside the SCP canon as SCP-001
Oh that's good I like that that's canon now or should it be SCP 000 so that not no one in or out of the foundation knows about it or will know about it, it'd be fun.
Or rather, they do not exist in the canon and are so anomalous that they are completely past the point of canonicity for the SCP universe. They’re quite literally the Ultra Anomaly.
If you like that one, it is greatly expanded upon in a newer scp-001 proposal: 'The story of your life' and in all the scps related to the pataphysics department
I think my all-time favorite is SCP-093, because it starts as just a weird object, but a whole story unfolds behind it. You don't even get the complete story unless you read all the supplementary material. It's delicious and genuinely disturbing.
I don’t regularly partake in SCP content, but my favorite entry out of every one of these anomalies has to be 2295 “The bear with a heart of patchwork” It will save anyone it can. If it can’t, it will cry and offer sweets as a condolence. I’m not sure how one could dislike something as sweet and pure as Kairos. Whatever kind of love he was stitched with, it’s a blessing unto humanity. Thanks Grammy.
Another good wholesome but also kinda sad one if you haven't already found him is 4999; "Someone To Watch Over Us". It's an anomalous humanoid entity that appears in the vicinity of people dying without friends or family to comfort them in order to fill that role
SCP-999 is also really cute. Literally just a ball of gelatinous... Stuff that brings out positive emotions, even to the point of curing depression. Heck, it turned the indestructible lizard good for a little while!
@@riccardocalosso5688 Nah it was found after a mail truck accident or something it was a gift for an unnamed grandson by an unnamed grandma for his birthday. It never arrived bc it was busy saving lives
My favorite explanation for O-13 is it's just a normal person "recruited" by the O5s because their perception of what is normal is so skewed that they need a "civilian" to let them know how messed up what they are currently dealing with actually is.
O-5: So, why is this agent trying to classify some scissors that cuts holes in the fabric of space and time as an SCP? O-13: Because... scissors don't do that. O-5: Wait, really?
@@TetsuRiken I'll be honest, I watched a couple on lost media, ARG's and other generically creepy stuff. One click leads to the next, leads to the next... and before I knew it, I'd just sunk an hour into an Iceberg about some McDonalds employee training game on the Nintendo DS. So I hear ya like Icebergs, son? Boy, do we have a treat for you!
I really hope you do more SCP stuff in the future! It’s insanely fascinating and I just like how you explain things; plus, a lot of SCP things are really complicated and hard to understand.
Kinda funny that the 05 Council is the first item (the least obscure) when it's such a secret in-universe that most staff either don't know it exists or have never seen the council members
Quick clarification since I don't see it in the comments at first glance, but with scp-5000, the Foundation didn't become evil, they were trying to wipe out humanity as a mercy, since they believed death was a better outcome than whatever the alternative was.
I love the theory that the only reason why the one SCP just doesn't kill everyone is because he has like a clown that he really enjoys. Literally the jester is that guy's blorbo.
D-Classes are kinda interesting to me, because they're treatment is actually somewhat complex. The worst, most violent criminals are usually (from what I remember) given the most torturous or dangerous tasks, but there's also D-Class that were never criminals and they usually get fairly decent (relatively speaking) treatment. Sometimes this means pleasant tests with SCPs that are in not dangerous but still need testing. Also, there are stories of D-Class being released when SCPs exonerate them.
May I recommend SCP-3000 and the theory that the foundation uses memetics to mind wipe people's minds and make them believe that they themselves are criminals """"deserving"""" of this?
My favorite scp is a coffee machine that can give you a cup of any liquid you type into it. There are a few exceptions but notably, what you type into it should be *very* specific. An agent named Joseph simply asked for a cup of joe, and ended up passing out due to a sudden loss of blood, tissue, and fluids. You’ll never guess what was in the fucking cup
Hilariously (horrifyingly?) Joseph wasn't actually the one who asked, another agent asked while Joseph was just there in the break room, but he just got smited by the machine anyway
That one’s an OG. One of the first I heard about years ago. Really helped set the stage for the more toned down “fantastic yet mundane” side of the setting.
21:30 one 001 proposal is just that: the first object (or rather, generic monster) contained by the modern Foundation. It's Gears' Proposal, and one of my favourites
@@somedragonbastard I really like the lore around the different proposals of 001 that only one actuially exists and the rest are diversions. Which makes me think either multiple of them exist and they give them the same number because they think even those below 05 need to be reassured only one of these can be real and if more than one was real they’d have high level people Panicking that their reality is even worse than they are told it is. Or. None of them are real and the real 001 isn’t even listed as a proposal and all of the proposals are smokescreens Or they are all true and are the 001’s of different realities.
@@brandonporter8509 I like the idea that there never has been an SCP below 21 ever being classified. So that people trying to learn to much, would dedicate meaning to something that doesn’t exist. Seeing as everyone assumes that those low numbers would hold weight
this video hs given me inspiration to make an old lady that exists out of pure spite, like she was only discovered bc a different scp was destroyed on her land and when they tried to give her amnestics and they didnt work purely because she said essentially "im keeping my memories so you can go fuck yourself" and shes immensely old because someone said she would never live past 40
From what I remember about scp-3999 is that it didn't delete all its info to torture talloran but it had focused so much of it's power on talloran that when he killed himself the absence he left behind effectively caused the entity to cease to exist and erased all info about it
Especially since on the article itself the redaction of the girl’a age is only one square meaning she was at most 9 years old when she was rescued. Even if Montauk is a bedtime story, the idea of a perpetually pregnant primary school girl is still terrifying
@@emilybarclay8831 i mean if thinking that the girl is being tortured is enough, wld it not also make sense that all the babies have been born but they lie? maybe even going as far as to use amnesiacs on themselves? so mayb she’s okay sbakdbskjd
@@sleepyqueer there is a theory that the last girl gave birth to 999 and that he’s in his infancy and that he’ll one day defeat his father with love. Usually 682 is said to be it’s brother which is why they got along the one time they met
Something I always like to think of with the concept of SCP-001, is not that they’re all stated to hide the greater threat, but they’re all stated basically as a class of entity, meaning that most that are entities or locations actually do exist, and the designation is meant as a shortcut to email or communicate out to every facility. Basically if some communication says “SCP-001 is compromised”, every facility will know to basically bring every defensive system online and prepare for the worst, basically going into defcon level one while they wait for further details on what specific entity or location is compromised or what 001 event is taking place.
"chess players for the legalization of marijuana is just a joke" the very next sentence* *"Pangloss is an old-world god who is the birth of everything good"*
My favourite SCP has always been the old god one where selecting different levels of clearance gives you a different page of info on the SCP. Really creative and scary what each level of clearance reveals that others don't. I don't remember the number unfortunately. Also the vending machine one
@@sara8913 I mean the one that vends strange stuff depending how much money you put it and whether powered or unpowered, and has pages of logs of weird items it has vended.
SCP-3999 was the author himself, LordStonefish. In some of the many canons of the Foundationverse, the Foundation had descovered that they exist in a fictional narrative, and the existance of the SCP community, so this is not out of place. LordStonefish was suffering from deteriorating mental health, and had planned for 3999 to be his last contribuition to the community before he quit, before he lost himself in it altogether; he designed the article to reflect what it's like trying to create an SCP in this kind of mental state.
@@0liver192 His own woods in the page discussion. The metanarrative is he was trying to write an SCP around a certain Foundation researcher, but simply couldn't come up with a coherent story and kept scraping ideas. It eventually got so bad, he had a nightmare where the researcher attacked him.
@@arlenfreeman3439 he also intends it as a critique of the SCP community as a whole and what it has lost- that genuine feeling of dread, replaced by things with bigger teeth and scarier powers. In his own words, he grew numb to it. He is sick of its horror. He is sick of us, and if you. The more you reveal the less effect it has.
Some entities don’t follow the box rule, like 343, since he can leave whenever he wants, but he doesn’t have any malicious intent (unless you’re on the whole “not really God, he’s definitely planning something” side), so he’s considered Safe.
the problem is handful of them are just "scary edgy stupidly strong phenomenon". and people just kept stacking it up for whatever fantasy they like. it focused on the thing, instead of how to capture them.
I think 343 isn't God, but he's probably harmless for now. I think the one thing keeping me from believing it's the man himself is that there's a Bible verse explicitly stating that God wouldn't show himself to anyone in his true form.
I've actually written a few SCP's but I've never had the courage to submit them to the site in case they're actually total shit. Plus, the site itself has gone a bit downhill in the submissions they accept as serious SCP's. Someone's goddamn fursona is an official SCP, for christ's sake.
Here's a theory about the scp-001, what if the scp foundation IS 001, this would make the most sense as the level of the foundation is always somewhere same as some other SCPs, an scp created to contain every other SCP.
There could also be a weird connection with SCP-3790 being the previous SCP foundation from a prior world do-over/reset or the source of the modern SCP foundation
SCP-5000 is actually not in a separate universe, everything actually happened, but SCP-579 reverted everything back to normal, but the question still remains: why?
@@officialcommitteeoftimetra9806 i think its a magical hyper sphere and it tells people that its not a sphere and deletes their memories because it is really shy about its shape
There is no official cannon so it doesn't matter. I just ignore the stories or articles that try to weave some sort of coherent plot because it ruins it imo. I think a shadow organization should remain a shadow organization and any lore about it should be restricted and ambiguous. Aka not the convoluted shitstorm that most plots are.
@@lordofthefrogs1646 Just about the only canon that's any good right now is the kaktusverse and it took me forever to come around even on that one. There are a lot of things to hate about SCP and not a lot of things to like, but the things worth liking are good enough to let the tons of garbage slide.
@@actualturtle2421 true, I'm just butthurt because I love the concept of the original scp files where it seems like you are accessing the files of an unknown organization and learning about the creatures and items which it has contained. It was primarily horror or at least creepypasta and of course as soon as it became more popular it turned into mid-tier sci-fi with too much unnecessary lore.
Beginner SCP fans "Cool scary secret monster stuff" Late Stage SCP fans "We're not a cult, I swear. Now excuse me, I need to sacrifice and eat an infant to make an ethereal deer entity think it's being contained therefor successfully containing the deer.

there’s so much variety in the SCP universe and that’s what i love about it. we have the “you do not recognize the bodies in the water” to a dog that can boil water by shaking its fur so hard.
the whole "Class of '76" stories / lore thing is absolutely fantastic, and just links to so many things, it's great
My favorites run the spectrum in tone from 'To the Cleverest', a sentient monkey-clapping-cymbals statue that chooses whoever can pull the most impressive prank as its owner (which set off a prank war in one of the sites as all the researchers tried to outdo each other), to 'When Day Breaks', an apollyon-class event where sunlight (and moonlight) fucking melts people into goo abominations on contact, which only live to convert others into more abominations by force or deception. There's SCP's that are genuinely light-hearted and funny, and others that will make you sleep with the lights on for weeks, and horror for every taste. You like body horror? We got you covered. Cosmic horror? Gather round and take your pick. I've actually had an SCP I've been writing and planning to submit to the official community forums to see whether or not it's liked enough to be accepted into canon, but it's been on the backburner for a good while now while I focus on other projects.

My fave is ‘soggy doggy’ where it is a dog that when it gets wet it shakes its fur constantly and when submerged it can boil water. scp-4062
My favorite SCP is 962, aka “The Tower of Babble”. It’s a 281-meter-tall tower of steel and wood, that turns animals into crude facsimiles of humans for its work force, and occasionally sends out balloons with papers containing essays about how the tower admires humans.
I just read the article for this SCP and omg. 😂 It’s amazing. Just the idea of a BUILDING that is sentient and deforms animals to look like humans is amazing. It looks like….this building has a crush on humans. I wonder if it’s really that friendly. I would like to read about humans interacting with the building to see what happens. The building can write, so there is a chance of communication.
so a yap domain but with essays
I read a completely different SCP also called the Tower of Babel, a sandstone incomplete tower with an antique radio set on the inside, the radios are playing in every language and anyone who gets close finds that they cannot understand those around them
It's a yandere cogpunk control spire.
It loved us more then we love ourselves.
Used to read SCPs when I worked night shifts some years back, they were (and still are) so captivating and downright eerie in places. Some people are too talented for their own good. I'm just glad they're using their powers to write fiction.
I agree, some like the house of the worm are so well done. I would love for some like minded people to come together and make these into well done short films.

@@zypalitra8080 Now I gotta read that one...
One of my favorite SCP stories is the one about a humanoid Cthulhu who just wants to relax and play video games, but unintentionally causes cults to spring up and worship him just by existing. He hates this, but can’t stop it from happening. So he turns himself in to the foundation for protection, resulting in cultists occasionally attacking the facility under the assumption he’s been imprisoned.
And then one of the cults breaks into his containment chamber and has a blood orgy.
I love the bit where the cult infiltrates his cell and do a bunch of rituals to try to “free” him but he just sits there in his gaming chair like “come on guys, that’s a new carpet can you just go?”
No way really? This is cap right?

When you decide to read the SCP stories, you need to keep in mind two statements:
1. There is no canon
2. Everything is canon
Both of them are equally right.
It'd be more accurate to say "there are many canons". Newcomers get confused by "there is no canon" and think that there's no continuity at all between pages
Its like a modern mythology, its all linked together but theres about a billion versions of everything that are all equally valid, its up to the individual to do enough research and thinking to build their own canon and what it means to them
It's genius, cause creators have full creativity writing stories
Yesn't
Canon is whatever you believe to be true, at least in the SCP universe.
the craziest scp I've seen is scp-2137, which is tupac's ghost attempting to help the SCP foundation defeat the scarlet king through giving information in music tracks
The more I read into this one, the funnier it gets
holy shit i thought this was a joke🤣 thank you for that info, that is gold😂
Bruhhhh lmaoo
Shame SCP-2137 isnt a ghost of john paul the second haunting small children and putting them into wardrobes
Always found that 2137 was really stupid, even before the allegations against the author, Max Landis.
I like the orb monster that is fully intent on scaring humans, so they show it 50s monster movies and have all its handlers pretend to get scared when it appears as the Wolfman, Frankenstein, etc.
Anyone know what number this is?
Found it, my bad. It's 2006. I kept getting 6174.
It is kind of scary though, cause if it wants to scare people, imagine it learned true horror like the apocalypse or other scps…
@@arcanefunds2645 That's exactly why they have it in containment and feed it old 50's monster movies for info on what humans find scary in the first place. AND all the researchers who interact with the SCP have to take acting classes or otherwise be good actors so they can give convincing reactions of fear when they interact with the SCP. Otherwise, it might start experimenting and exploring different ideas for what's "scary".
It's not to be taken lightly. Imagine if it found out what really scares people, like war, or the apocalypse.
Since we're all sharing, the one scp that stuck with me through all this time is the one who comes to people before just they die to comfort them and talk to them if they don't have anyone else in the room with them as they go.
Nobody dies alone

My personal favorite interpretation of 05-13 is the idea that they're a person they picked up off the street. That the 05 council gets desensitized to things over years of anomalies and forget what is and isnt normal. So they get a random person off the street to determine if something is actually normal or not.
I can just imagine the 05 popping up in a white van, yanking a random joe off the streets and asking them if an origami crane that can speak fluent greek and believes it is a planet is weird.

As far as the multiple universes thing goes, I remember reading that they sent SCP-682 (a nearly unkillable dragon-like creature) to another dimension. It was "returned" with a note saying something to the effect of: "He's your problem, not ours."
I thought what happened was they sent him through but the other dimension also sent theirs with a note saying "It's your problem now, suckers" meaning they both just swapped 682s.
Let's remember that 682 got dropped into a literal patch of nothingness in russia, where everything that entered it ceased to exist, and he came back just fine.
@@timez957 Jesus, i forgot about that one. Is that the one where it looks like a normal patch of forest but is actually nothing? Related to pattern screamers if i remember correctly?... I haven't read SCP in a while lol.
I don't know why that one is particularly frightening to me. So scary to think i could just be walking through a forest and suddenly not exist anymore, much more scary than being chased by even the most horrific Lovecraftian monster
@@voxlknight2155 "So scary to think i could just be walking through a forest and suddenly not exist anymore"
to be fair, that forest IS in Russia, so anyone walking into it is already in nothingess
Another SCP similar is a notebook which is called a list of failed termination attempts (I forget the exact name) and lists the often comically terrible effects of some termination attempts that other parallel universes attempted for some SCPs with my favourite being one where they say fuck it, launch 682 into space and detonate the entire planets nuclear arsenal on top of it but 1/2mL of blood remains and 682 grows to the size of Saturn and devours the solar system
The reason Dr clef isn't affected by 166 is because he isn't affected by any scps. I like the canon in which he's a powerful reality Bender Who was super traumatized by another reality Bender and as a result his subconscious rejects the idea of the anomalous which leads him to essentially Bend reality back to normal completely subconsciously.
like straightening out a bent wire lol
@@firebloodearthborn8633 good analogy
He's actually a Reality Anchor, a being that reverts reality back to normalcy, which opposes Reality *Benders* that can *bend* reality itself on a whim, and it's Clef that can "unbend reality".
Although Clef being a Reality Bender that doesn't believe in the anomalous is funny
Honestly I’m a fan of both theories fused together. He’s an scp who subconsciously rejects the anomalous and acts as the neutralising agent to the acidity of the SCPs, but he also once felt for an SCP (possibly bc she might also have known a trauma unique to anomalous creatures and their interactions with other anomalies) and they fell for each other in a love that ultimately could never be thanks to the world they lived in and the paths both had already been walking.
One that both crossed paths before going separate ways once more until fate in its cruelty brought them together again in the only way it could have inevitably ended (especially because of how he will always act as an antithesis to the anomalous and to change such a key component of himself that he isn’t even aware of to its true extent, potentially, would mean smashing the glass window that is Dr. Clef, SCP Researcher/former MTF member.)
There's a new version of 166 up on the wiki which has a completely different effect, and is a clear reference to the goat-daughter theory
In the SCP universe there used to be an emotion that got erased by an SCP. An entire emotion that nobody can feel anymore, of course it's redacted but it still is very cool.
There is also an SCP (SCP-6002) in which an entire animal kingdom was removed. I heard it from The Exploring Series. Their videos are all great and I highly suggest listening to more of their videos
Yep; reality is pretty mutable in The Foundation's universe. One of the SCP-6000 contest entries last year was a tree that's sympathetically linked to all life on earth - branches representing entire species, that will wither and die as the species does and vice-versa. The Foundation abused it to profit by selling medicine for diseases they introduced to all of the world's livestock using it; and in the process they fucked things up so badly that an entire order of animals - on the scale of 'mammals' or 'reptiles' - had to be cut off to slow the progression of the rot. Now only a handful of people remember that they ever existed, despite many of them being domesticated pets and livestock that were an integral part of all of our lives a few months prior.
@@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013 Yeah. Scp-6002. As I mentioned in my other comment.

The idea that people who have difficulty with certain content shouldn’t watch it is a very ableist mindset, I know you didn’t mean it in such a way but it’s been used against those with mental health issues and disabilities so often that you should be aware that it’s a harmful mindset.

I like to think SCP-001 is simply the awareness of being a writing project. The reason it's so hidden? For the benefit of you, the reader; it represents your suspension of disbelief. If you think about it too much, it would ruin your experience with SCP, because you'd constantly be laughing at how unrealistic everything is.
In-canon, it works the same; reading it would simply mean you've realised that you are little more than the words and thoughts of a group of people on the internet.
Good point!
Not sure if you'll read this but there are a few that tackle the concept, one of which being SCP 5999
So sheeth of papers?
The SCP website is itself already an SCP lol
there is a 001 proposal that's just that, and also, pataphysics!
Curiously, the hyper-adorable SCP-999 in some canons is the seventh child of the Scarlet King, who was born in secret. He has already defeated SCP-682, who's the Fourth child, and it has been predicted that his powers will grow over time and eventually he will overthrow the Scarlet King with the power of love (I'm not kidding).
thats one of my headcanons
new headcanon
They grew up nice because of all those bedtime stories probably.
wow, just wow, the little adorable orange blob is the answer to the scarlet king, just wow. now that I think about it, what would happen if 999 affected other SCP's, would shy guy stop crying if he interacted with it?
:0 that’s a really good idea actually
Quick note. Depending on reader interpretation in the story of scp-5000 the scp foundation doesn’t necessarily become evil and kill everyone. It’s pretty heavily implied that there was some form of scp that either took over the foundation or there was an scp that had infected the mind of everyone and the foundation had to kill everyone to keep the scp from progressing. It’s up to reader interpretation but I thought I’d point that out as I really like that story.
I don’t recall exactly but I think there was an explanation for why they started killing everyone. It wasn’t that they were taken over, they uncovered something so horrific that the only way to save humanity is to wipe it out. Something to do with the fact that there is not afterlife but neither is death a void. I don’t quite remember but it was bad enough that it made them seem like the good guys again.
It's complicated, the idea is effectively that a cognitohazard of incredible power got spread through the foundation that convinced them that anybody alive who wasn't affected by it was better off dead. But the implication is that the foundation is convinced that they've actually just been inoculated against a larger cognitohazard that already affected all of humanity, so they think everyone else is the one affected.
The clever part is that functionally speaking, if everyone on Earth was affected by a cognitohazard, a defense against that would work the same way as a normal cognitohazard, because baseline human thought has been so thoroughly contorted by the broader cognitohazard that there's no difference between a defense from the broader one and a normal cognitohazard. So you can take it as the foundation going crazy or as them being the only ones who know better, because those explanations would both cause the same response.
With that said, I'm pretty sure the article implies that the foundation is actually under a cognitohazard and that the idea that the whole rest of the world was is wrong, because individuals like Dr. Bright who can't be affected by cognitohazards weren't changed by the message that the foundation sent out that contained the supposed inoculation, which should have worked if it wasn't anomalous. But that's just my take.
@@jordanfry5138 yeah that’s why I said it’s up to the interpretation of the reader. It’s so vague, and that’s why I love that story. It really keeps you guessing and thinking about it long after you’re done reading it which is the sign of a great scp story.
@@khamazon8893 not really up to the reader. There is an anomaly in the human psychospace that has such horrific plans for humanity that the best way to save it is to wipe out humanity

My favorite article on O5-13 is that O5-13 is the only normal, non-anomalous person in the O5 council and they keep them around to have a baseline.
Hell yeah, it's also one of my favorites too. While the rest of the 05 is scrambling to figure out what 05-13 is, the fact that he's just an ordinary guy really breaks the continuous anomalous property of the story. It's quite refreshing every once in a while.

By far my most favorite concept. It really caught my intere-
This reminds me of those perfectly cut screams. WOOO-
Oh no he got em
This is my top 3 favourite scp, besides that it got a dope design, I love it's ability, it's simple and creative which is rare to see in SCP nowadays especially in infohazard ones, they are well written of course but I don't want to just understanding the basics of it's power by reading a full book of someone's politic manifesto, it's to a point of just seeing a random page of SCP that requires me to scroll over 5 time just to reach to the bottom of it's document makes me not even wanting to read it

SAME LMAO XDD
I was a caveman so I never knew it was a big internet thing until ion know, but I always liked the Plague doctor even as a caveman
I was 15 when i first heard about SCPs and I actually thought they were real lmfao
the SCP foundation being a bit of an internet secret is honestly great. Really ties into the entire theme of the foundation.
Not a secret you bum
Add to that the fact that it gets associated with completely unrelated videos and so on, and gets mentioned in the real world, but never really manages to make its way into broad global recognition outside of the internet, and it turns into something that could be an SCP itself. Keter Class, but harmless.
i remember hearing a joke or maybe it was serious but they said that the scp foundation is actually real and the way they hide themselves is by creating the scp wiki and now everyone thinks its fictional
My favorite SCP is the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! that you literally cannot believe it's not butter.
Wait now that I think of it, if I had to guess what this SCP was about it would be that the I can't believe it's not butter products trick people into thinking they are butter when they are not. Like, I personally cannot believe it's not butter. I had that in I think middle school and it was basically butter, but it's always possible that stuff like that isn't what we think it is and no one can prove it. Extremely unlikely but possivle which is fun to think about
Well considering that ICBINB is already literally margarine, the title was already accurate lol
I think this one is real because there is no way I can't believe it's not butter isn't actually just butter. despite the name I always took for granted that it was butter, and no one can tell me otherwise
What is its code?
Lmao i love these stupid SCPs
I remember hearing about an SCP that was just a video of like a childs basketball game or something, but every time it's replayed, the people in the video become more and more self aware that they are in a video and it gets real real dark real fast.
I think I know exactly which one you're talking about! I don't remember the number but the SCP is a VHS tape of a basketball game. When inserted and played, it starts off normally but once the tape finishes and then restarts, the people in the video start acting differently and getting a sense of deja vu. This continues on to them realizing that they cannot escape, leading to a lot of gruesome stuff. However, once the tape is taken out, they forget everything again and it starts all over

I think that it was a response to the amount of "oh yeah it's just a soulless monster that hates people" scp's out there
That's one of my favorites. I'm eternally made at whoever was in charge before who basically threw an immortal toddler into a box and left them
My favorite is probably 5558. It’s about an 18 year old who goes by Princess and can’t respond to anything else. It has an anomalous head deformity that turns their head into a huge ball of flesh with 50-100 facial features (eyes, noses, ears…). Objects such as sex toys, porn magazines, and soda teleport near it. It’s super damn weird but I love it.
Finally another 5031 enjoyer
My favorite SCP is 049, but I also have a fondness for sympathetic/sad/wholesome ones. Like the Bear With a Heart of Patchwork (SCP 2295), Here Were Dragons (SCP 1762), A Gift From Dad (SCP 348), things like that.

Dude.
I'll do you one better, each member of the 05 council is related to a different origin of the SCP foundation and somehow came together as a collective. They may not be the same person but they are similar in that they each made this their mission and due to dimensional or time fuckery from any number of SCPs they came together and decided it best to work together to try and prevent such things.

I love the concept of SCPs. The idea of a community containing strange objects, creatures and phenomena is so fascinating yet strangely believable. It’s just like an elaborate conspiracy theory. It reminds me of a book I read where extremely advanced technology was hidden underground because they were worried people won’t be ready, and the characters have to contain it
Some of my favourite SCPs are the ones that are fairly mundane and more of an inconvenience to keep catalogued than anything else.
Though possible one of my fav entries is in the EX-SCPs (ex=explained meaning it's not longer anomalous, either no longer having the anomalous properties or just being explained).
One of the EX SCPs described a mysterious rock which glowed under certain conditions and left streaks on photographic plates nearby and also anyone that stayed near it too long died. Turns out they had discovered uranium
I think one of my favourite examples of how to describe the 3 basic object classes is this one:
A button that if pressed, destroys earth. Object class Safe because if you put it in a locked room, it's not going to press itself.
A cat that randomly switches locations with another cat is a Keter because it's nearly impossible to keep in that room.

@@unholynoise3087 At this point I believe that the creepypasta wiki is just the scp wiki without moderation or actual adults. Sirenhead wasnt allowed by the staff to become an scp so it became a creepypasta for the children.

I got pissed when people mixed marble hornets and creepy pasta but I understood that several creepypastas and the series itself was developed from a competition, basically havingthe same origin. But siren head came from an artist that to my knowledge has never made a creepypasta. Sometimes children just ruin things
@@unholynoise3087 idk how you define creepypasta but there definitely needs to be a definitive like written out story as the source material, siren head doesn’t have that
@@Deepseadread6 creepypastas are set stories usually about a monster/killer. They range from terrible to decent. Most follow this, but it has become a lot wider of a umbrella with other story types being added, like just normal scary stories. It's why creeypaste/horror narrators usually specify if its from a creepypasta forum, r/nosleep, or r/short stories.
The marble hornets series was a arg based off a photoshop competition from about 11 years ago
Siren head is a cool project monster with some minor lore without a specific plot to it. So yeah, if it was to be made into a official creepypasta Trevor Henderson would need to write a whole ass proper story, instead of just some facts about it. There are so many differences and I enjoy the enthusiasm but sirenhead would just be added to the trash fire of bad creepypasta characters, because I don't think its the type of beast that could make a memorable and proper story, no matter how shit some of the most "classic" of pastas are
it's also worth noting that the entire SCP universe started on 4chan, so it could also be a reference to 4chan leaking the existence of the SCP Foundation to the rest of the world.

Here, i can actually give an alternate description of the classification system to the best of my understanding of it, using parrots.
Safe: All you gotta do is put a blanket over the cage and the parrot will go to sleep, or the parrot is perfectly content inside the cage
Euclid: Parrot sometimes tries to escape the cage and you have to run after it before it flies into a neighbors tree and poops on their car
Keter: The parrot can break the cage, or summon other parrots to break the cage for them and they must constantly be put back in.
Thaumiel: The parrot will actually prevent other parrots from doing anything
Apollyon: The parrot is an ethereal entity, and there either is no known cage that can contain them, or putting them in a cage just causes bird poop to materialize on every surface in the neighborhood. Either way, the parrot wins in the end and there is no way to escape it.
Neutralized: Parrot cannot poop no more
Explained: It was just a normal parrot all along.. Who knew?
Maskur: Some assembly of parrot required.
Hiemal: The parrot keeps pooping on everyone's cars but it's the only thing preventing a flock of inter-dimensional demon parrots from entering our world and pooping on everything in existence, and if we put the first parrot in the cage, then the demon parrots will be free to come into our reality.

I think my all-time favorite is SCP-093, because it starts as just a weird object, but a whole story unfolds behind it. You don't even get the complete story unless you read all the supplementary material. It's delicious and genuinely disturbing.
I don’t regularly partake in SCP content, but my favorite entry out of every one of these anomalies has to be 2295 “The bear with a heart of patchwork”
It will save anyone it can. If it can’t, it will cry and offer sweets as a condolence. I’m not sure how one could dislike something as sweet and pure as Kairos.
Whatever kind of love he was stitched with, it’s a blessing unto humanity.
Thanks Grammy.
Another good wholesome but also kinda sad one if you haven't already found him is 4999; "Someone To Watch Over Us". It's an anomalous humanoid entity that appears in the vicinity of people dying without friends or family to comfort them in order to fill that role
For a second ther I thought you meant the build a bear, a teddy bear that created other teddy bears, one of which he made out of a human
That is one of the wondertainment industries products, if memory serves me right.
SCP-999 is also really cute. Literally just a ball of gelatinous... Stuff that brings out positive emotions, even to the point of curing depression. Heck, it turned the indestructible lizard good for a little while!
@@riccardocalosso5688 Nah it was found after a mail truck accident or something it was a gift for an unnamed grandson by an unnamed grandma for his birthday. It never arrived bc it was busy saving lives
My favorite explanation for O-13 is it's just a normal person "recruited" by the O5s because their perception of what is normal is so skewed that they need a "civilian" to let them know how messed up what they are currently dealing with actually is.
O-5: So, why is this agent trying to classify some scissors that cuts holes in the fabric of space and time as an SCP?
O-13: Because... scissors don't do that.
O-5: Wait, really?
I never dug all the SCP stuff, but I guess I’m about to watch a hour long video on it anyway lol, thanks for the content!
That’s loyalty and I appreciate it
That sums up my interaction with the icebergs
@@TetsuRiken I'll be honest, I watched a couple on lost media, ARG's and other generically creepy stuff.
One click leads to the next, leads to the next... and before I knew it, I'd just sunk an hour into an Iceberg about some McDonalds employee training game on the Nintendo DS.
So I hear ya like Icebergs, son? Boy, do we have a treat for you!
I really hope you do more SCP stuff in the future! It’s insanely fascinating and I just like how you explain things; plus, a lot of SCP things are really complicated and hard to understand.
Kinda funny that the 05 Council is the first item (the least obscure) when it's such a secret in-universe that most staff either don't know it exists or have never seen the council members
it's such a huge secret, that everyone knows that it's a secret
I'm sorry, I have to but its not 05, its O5
Quick clarification since I don't see it in the comments at first glance, but with scp-5000, the Foundation didn't become evil, they were trying to wipe out humanity as a mercy, since they believed death was a better outcome than whatever the alternative was.
bootlicker
That’s the one with the suit, right? The suit and the briefcase
@@orangeswirl3280 yes, that's right.
i mean as far the entry goes we dont really know the real reason the foundation tried to kill everyone
It is strongly implied that this is also why 682 wants to kill humanity.
I love the theory that the only reason why the one SCP just doesn't kill everyone is because he has like a clown that he really enjoys. Literally the jester is that guy's blorbo.
@@koolaidman4869tumblr slang term for a (typically fictional) character you're obsessed with and love
D-Classes are kinda interesting to me, because they're treatment is actually somewhat complex. The worst, most violent criminals are usually (from what I remember) given the most torturous or dangerous tasks, but there's also D-Class that were never criminals and they usually get fairly decent (relatively speaking) treatment. Sometimes this means pleasant tests with SCPs that are in not dangerous but still need testing. Also, there are stories of D-Class being released when SCPs exonerate them.
May I recommend SCP-3000 and the theory that the foundation uses memetics to mind wipe people's minds and make them believe that they themselves are criminals """"deserving"""" of this?
My favorite scp is a coffee machine that can give you a cup of any liquid you type into it. There are a few exceptions but notably, what you type into it should be *very* specific.
An agent named Joseph simply asked for a cup of joe, and ended up passing out due to a sudden loss of blood, tissue, and fluids.
You’ll never guess what was in the fucking cup
I wanted to forget about this SCP because of a comic I saw. Won’t go into detail, all I have to say is *JACK BRIGHT CUM*
Hilariously (horrifyingly?) Joseph wasn't actually the one who asked, another agent asked while Joseph was just there in the break room, but he just got smited by the machine anyway
For anyone interested, the SCP in question here is 294
That one’s an OG. One of the first I heard about years ago. Really helped set the stage for the more toned down “fantastic yet mundane” side of the setting.
Lmao I wonder what will happen if someone typed "a cup of Java" on it
21:30 one 001 proposal is just that: the first object (or rather, generic monster) contained by the modern Foundation. It's Gears' Proposal, and one of my favourites
Sometimes there’s beauty in the simplicity. Like the one that thinks old 50s TV monsters are scary.
I love that there is no set SCP-001, it let's everyone pick their favorite proposal or just toy around with ones they like
@@somedragonbastard I really like the lore around the different proposals of 001 that only one actuially exists and the rest are diversions. Which makes me think either multiple of them exist and they give them the same number because they think even those below 05 need to be reassured only one of these can be real and if more than one was real they’d have high level people Panicking that their reality is even worse than they are told it is.
Or. None of them are real and the real 001 isn’t even listed as a proposal and all of the proposals are smokescreens
Or they are all true and are the 001’s of different realities.
I love the eerieness of the gate guardian but the gears proposal is so much better tbh
@@brandonporter8509 I like the idea that there never has been an SCP below 21 ever being classified.
So that people trying to learn to much, would dedicate meaning to something that doesn’t exist. Seeing as everyone assumes that those low numbers would hold weight
this video hs given me inspiration to make an old lady that exists out of pure spite, like she was only discovered bc a different scp was destroyed on her land and when they tried to give her amnestics and they didnt work purely because she said essentially "im keeping my memories so you can go fuck yourself" and shes immensely old because someone said she would never live past 40
I would read that lmao
granny weatherwax from the terry Pratchett novels. she got bitten by a vampire and the vampire started craving tea and cookies
im fighting the urge to actually write that, its been on my mind the past week lol
Commenting in case of future updates, PLEASE link this if you end up writing it!
Please link us if/when you write this lol I love her already!!
From what I remember about scp-3999 is that it didn't delete all its info to torture talloran but it had focused so much of it's power on talloran that when he killed himself the absence he left behind effectively caused the entity to cease to exist and erased all info about it
I like the idea that 231 is just a short little bedtime story and they give her a kiss on the head and turn on her nightlight and leave :)
Another proposal for 231 was the last lady gave birth to SCP 999, the Tickle Monster
It’s more wholesome that way
Especially since on the article itself the redaction of the girl’a age is only one square meaning she was at most 9 years old when she was rescued. Even if Montauk is a bedtime story, the idea of a perpetually pregnant primary school girl is still terrifying
@@emilybarclay8831 i mean if thinking that the girl is being tortured is enough, wld it not also make sense that all the babies have been born but they lie? maybe even going as far as to use amnesiacs on themselves? so mayb she’s okay sbakdbskjd
@@sleepyqueer there is a theory that the last girl gave birth to 999 and that he’s in his infancy and that he’ll one day defeat his father with love. Usually 682 is said to be it’s brother which is why they got along the one time they met
Something I always like to think of with the concept of SCP-001, is not that they’re all stated to hide the greater threat, but they’re all stated basically as a class of entity, meaning that most that are entities or locations actually do exist, and the designation is meant as a shortcut to email or communicate out to every facility. Basically if some communication says “SCP-001 is compromised”, every facility will know to basically bring every defensive system online and prepare for the worst, basically going into defcon level one while they wait for further details on what specific entity or location is compromised or what 001 event is taking place.
Ooh nice
"It must maintain its secrecy to the public"
*proceeds to go over every job and position in the foundation*
Yeah... Broken Masquerade cannon says otherwise.
It’s a great strategy, make it public knowledge so nobody believes it’s real
SCP-7004 is absolutely wild! The end was so unexpected, the origin of all those other people, it was very unexpected. Hell of a story
"chess players for the legalization of marijuana is just a joke"
the very next sentence*
*"Pangloss is an old-world god who is the birth of everything good"*
My favourite SCP has always been the old god one where selecting different levels of clearance gives you a different page of info on the SCP. Really creative and scary what each level of clearance reveals that others don't. I don't remember the number unfortunately. Also the vending machine one
there are two vending machine ones
2317
@@sara8913 I mean the one that vends strange stuff depending how much money you put it and whether powered or unpowered, and has pages of logs of weird items it has vended.
@@andeggbreaks 294 I think ‘Pan-Dimensional Vending’
SCP-3999 was the author himself, LordStonefish. In some of the many canons of the Foundationverse, the Foundation had descovered that they exist in a fictional narrative, and the existance of the SCP community, so this is not out of place. LordStonefish was suffering from deteriorating mental health, and had planned for 3999 to be his last contribuition to the community before he quit, before he lost himself in it altogether; he designed the article to reflect what it's like trying to create an SCP in this kind of mental state.
That's the deepest shit i read today, where did you take this info from? i'd really wanna see more about LordStonefish
@@0liver192 His own woods in the page discussion. The metanarrative is he was trying to write an SCP around a certain Foundation researcher, but simply couldn't come up with a coherent story and kept scraping ideas. It eventually got so bad, he had a nightmare where the researcher attacked him.
Turns out SCP-001 is just a pile of his notes.
@@arlenfreeman3439 For some stupid reason i read your answer only 2 months later, thank you for it still.
@@arlenfreeman3439 he also intends it as a critique of the SCP community as a whole and what it has lost- that genuine feeling of dread, replaced by things with bigger teeth and scarier powers. In his own words, he grew numb to it. He is sick of its horror. He is sick of us, and if you. The more you reveal the less effect it has.
"035 and the jester" might instead refer to the fact that SCP-035 is presumed to be the court jester of the Hanged King, see SCP-701, 2264, and 2732.

@@Wendigoon 😳
Some entities don’t follow the box rule, like 343, since he can leave whenever he wants, but he doesn’t have any malicious intent (unless you’re on the whole “not really God, he’s definitely planning something” side), so he’s considered Safe.
Well that's not really a rule more on a guideline for basic scps, I mean there are scps that are literal gods, or even the reality warpers
Scp 999 as well!! That little friend deserves to roam the Earth 😭💜
the problem is handful of them are just "scary edgy stupidly strong phenomenon". and people just kept stacking it up for whatever fantasy they like. it focused on the thing, instead of how to capture them.
It’s a theory that 343 made himself safe class, so the foundation wouldn’t stop him, and he was a super powerful reality bender like the witch girl
I think 343 isn't God, but he's probably harmless for now. I think the one thing keeping me from believing it's the man himself is that there's a Bible verse explicitly stating that God wouldn't show himself to anyone in his true form.
I've never heard of SCP before. These are so cool! I can imagine this as a really great anthology television series.
I've actually written a few SCP's but I've never had the courage to submit them to the site in case they're actually total shit. Plus, the site itself has gone a bit downhill in the submissions they accept as serious SCP's. Someone's goddamn fursona is an official SCP, for christ's sake.
Which SCP?
@Blandest_ 91 what do you mean?
@@Reaper-hz9yn He said you are a furry basically
@@TDAbiber Okay? I mean nothing wrong with them.
@@Reaper-hz9yn lgtbrteq.
Here's a theory about the scp-001, what if the scp foundation IS 001, this would make the most sense as the level of the foundation is always somewhere same as some other SCPs, an scp created to contain every other SCP.
There could also be a weird connection with SCP-3790 being the previous SCP foundation from a prior world do-over/reset or the source of the modern SCP foundation
the factory touches on this; the foundation are working with the protection of the factory in exchange for giving them their dead bodies
Why not give it a name: Scp-001: the box.
I like this. Actually, when thinking about it, maybe the 05 council is scp-001?
We already have that one
SCP-5000 is actually not in a separate universe, everything actually happened, but SCP-579 reverted everything back to normal, but the question still remains: why?
Nice
Well I don’t know but what I do know is that it’s not a sphere.... I think
We did that once in 2998
From what I interpreted, The Foundation had a beef with the Holy Spirit
@@officialcommitteeoftimetra9806 i think its a magical hyper sphere and it tells people that its not a sphere and deletes their memories because it is really shy about its shape
Okay, I'm just gonna say it: there was a finite amount of time during which I thought that SCP stood for "sane clown posse", a rival to the ICP
that's fucking hilarious 🤣
I love the diversity of the SCP universes. If I have to pick a favourite it has to be the "reluctant dimension hopper" or maybe the "red pool"
I love the red pool especially the expedition
The first thousand will always be the best entries. Very few of 2-6 thousand entries can compare.
Always thought the reluctant dimension hopper would be a great tv show
Mine is the tomato that fucking murders people who make bad jokes
I don’t think I’m smart enough to grasp the SCP lore in it’s entirety. This stuff always goes over my head…
I just look at the cool scary monster heehoo and ignore the meta SCPs
There's probably some youtube channels that try to explain it more clearly or simpler.
There is no official cannon so it doesn't matter. I just ignore the stories or articles that try to weave some sort of coherent plot because it ruins it imo. I think a shadow organization should remain a shadow organization and any lore about it should be restricted and ambiguous. Aka not the convoluted shitstorm that most plots are.
@@lordofthefrogs1646 Just about the only canon that's any good right now is the kaktusverse and it took me forever to come around even on that one. There are a lot of things to hate about SCP and not a lot of things to like, but the things worth liking are good enough to let the tons of garbage slide.
@@actualturtle2421 true, I'm just butthurt because I love the concept of the original scp files where it seems like you are accessing the files of an unknown organization and learning about the creatures and items which it has contained. It was primarily horror or at least creepypasta and of course as soon as it became more popular it turned into mid-tier sci-fi with too much unnecessary lore.
