"Are anomalies escaping because of human error?"
"No, it's SCP-001 at fault"

[founderoftheempire]

"Pulled out an oversized mallet and launched an agent into the stratosphere"
GOD DAMN

"he turned himself into a xerox machine, funniest shit I have ever seen"

I’m the author of this SCP-001 proposal. This is something I wrote to be my cap stone project and took me around 4 months to get it to a place I was happy with. Thank you for covering it! It’s probably the most personal thing I’ve written.

Fun fact: all the SCPs that experienced containment failures were things I posted to the site and eventually deleted. This proposal served as my in universe explanation for what’s going on with them. I won’t say outright of the anomaly actually exists, but I personally think it does.

I like light-hearted absurdist angle of Foundation shown here. It's nice to have 001 proposal that is not all doom and gloom world ending occult spy drama. Nice to see that this part of Foundation that focus on fun and self parody still is alive.

When a car restarts itself, accelerates itself, steers itself, and rams itself into a worse boulder and fucking explodes, I don't think you get to sit back and say "maybe it's just human error".

Lague: Speaking of: whatever happened to Pasqua, if I can ask?


O5-1: Dead.

Lague: Really?

O5-1: Yeah, a tragedy. Slipped and fell down a flight of stairs and then shot himself twice.

Seeing the authors for these proposals come up here more frequently to give their thoughts on the entries made me realise something .This comment section has genuinely become an extention of the SCP community .

An army of gun wielding crabs raiding a foundation site just to rescue their fellow crabs and successfully do it, is something I would never expect from an SCP article and yet here we are.

Director Leigh imposter syndromed so hard he made a new SCP-001 pop into existence. Loved it thoroughly, so much fun.

I think it's very nessecary for SPC to not always take itself super seriously, really liking this one.

[caedmonr]

On the note about going from a containment failure rate of 5.2% to a containment rate for 001 of 95%: This doesn't mean there's been no change in containment failure rate. In fact quite the opposite. Paraphrasing, earlier the the director stated that of that 5.2%, roughly 1.4% was explained via means outside the foundation's control, with the remaining 3.8% being attributed to 001. If this is true, a 95% containment rate of 001 would mean reducing that 3.8% down to 0.19%. (I assume my numbers are off slightly, because the 5.2 & 1.4 figures are entirely from memory, but the math otherwise is correct)

In other words, containment failure has gone from 5.2% down to 1.59%. A significant reduction!

I think it's hilarious that humor would be "off-putting" to anyone, but I totally get it when it comes to SCP as I prefer it to be serious and enigmatic. It can be nice to take a break from the bleak ones though, and TES always knocks it out of the park. Been looking forward to this!

A giant bird named "God's Strongest Soldier", going "tweedly D tweedly Da" while swacking an entire MTF team with a giant f***ing wooden malet, miles into the stratosphere. That made me laugh. God I love the Foundation.

[Jedislayer]

SCP Foundation: Am I out of touch?
SCP Foundation: No, it's the SCP 001 that is wrong...

Thank you so much for continuing your scp content, I have autism and find these videos you produce helps me in general with needed things like sleeping, eating, and speaking to others. I love your channel, and you are a much beloved part of my life. Have a good night.

[ParadoxedLL]

I work night shift and I love listening to your videos while I work. Factory work can be boring but letting my mind play movies while I listen to the stories you cover like mumjul and kurar. I really do enjoy your content and I’m happy I got to listen to this one early and not hours after it gets uploaded. So keep up the good work and with all your new ventures like you said you were gonna do in one of your earlier videos

[edouardkb]

Every one of your new SCP videos are now tinged with sadness, as they feel like a countdown to when you'll stop doing them.

If you packaged your vids into DVDs or audio files, I'd buy them in a heartbeat, just to preserve the great work you've done.
