Side note: during editing I remembered I heard “faeries” mentioned somewhere and realized they are the creatures from SCP-4000 aka “Taboo”. Just a link I didn’t remember until now. Also ty all you’re the best lol

SCP-001: literally the origin or death of the universe. SCP-002: "living" room haha

I like to imagine that 001 is something completely innocent. Like a sandwich that always reappears after being eaten or something.

I just realized, the reason why “A Record” is an 001 proposal is because it was forced to the top of the list there fore being a 001 anomaly.

8:00 Wendigoon glossed over one of the coolest part about The Factory Proposal. It was not only the supposed origins of the foundation. It was also the supposed origins of EVERY other GOI in the canon. From Marshall, Carter, & Dark to The Church of The Broken God. They were all once part of the group who initially infiltrated the factory, that separated into different groups with different ideologies.

for some reason the fact that the scp foundation put someone through an incinrator just to see if theyd die is funny to me

SCP-001 is the guy on 4 Chan who made the 173 document, without him the scp universe would have never existed.

Hearing Wendigoon saying he’s blown away by having 7k subscribers really puts into perspective how fast he grew. You deserve all your success man, thank you for all your work

I can’t get over how much I love Gate Guardian as an SCP, just a fucking massive guardian and the only containment procedures are “stay away and idk pray i guess?” It can somewhat defy your free will by imprinting thoughts in you to leave but even if you come close enough it annihilates you at the atomic level with a sword measured in kilometers long.

I love the idea of SCP-J-001, a red button that no one knows what it do and everyone is just scared of press it to discover

SCP: 001 "Good Boy" in nutshell: "Hey what if i pour concrete on people organ" "What" "What"

4:30 Hey all, Lockpicking Lawyer here. I’ve been enlisted by the SCP Foundation to unlock this “unpickable” lock.

Here's a few neat facts for you about some of these that people tend to forget: 1. "The Prototype" is called that because the article itself is a prototype, written during the Foundation's earliest days. It doesn't use the normal format of "how to contain it is more important than what it actually is, and therefore must come first". It instead gives a designation number, a warning of aggressive behavior, a description, and THEN details of its containment, before finishing with a report of its capture and an addendum which mentions the possible need for censorship in further articles. 2. "The Spiral Path" implies that the Administrator used it to discover how anomalies work, and therefore implies that Foundation does not DISCOVER anomalies, it CREATES them. Or rather, it did, until they started appearing on their own. 3. "God's Blind Spot" is important not just because people there cannot die, but because supposedly God literally cannot see into it, and therefore any sins committed while on its premises can never be judged. Perfect for a group of people who commit horrible atrocities on a daily basis. 4. The computer in "A Good Boy" was given the designator "Type AK9 Computational Engine". In other words, it thinks it's a dog. This is why it's obsessed with the idea of "good boys". And also why it hates cats. 5. In "The Sky Above the Port", the shadow represents the audience, and therefore you, the viewer. Without new stories, the Foundation's world would cease to exist. Because of course it would, it's a writing project.

SCP 001 is probably [ REDACTED ] and located at [ redaction noises ]. Upon reading this you shall [ REDACTED ]

The real SCP-001 were the friends we made along the way

My idea for SCP-001 is something that would be seen as an anomaly a few centuries ago but can be explained now like a one way mirror. It would give the foundation hope that we could fine the answers to other SCPs in the future.

36:06 I appreciate Wendigoon casually displaying a Memetic Kill Hazard on screen during one of his proposal readings. He wasn't kidding how watching his videos takes away one year of your life at a time. In fact, watching it has a chance to take away your WHOLE life in the blink of an eye!

"The World's Gone Beautiful" is the most melancholic idea I've ever witnessed in my life. Everybody just stops and reminisces of the good things they've had for 24 hours with abundance of of beautiful scenery around them before they're inevitably wiped out by some lovecraftian abomination. It sounds like it could be a movie.

This is the Lock Picking Lawyer, and today what I have here is a lock that was given to me that is supposedly called SCP-001. Just by looking at this lock I can already tell that there are some very inexcusable flaws in it's design. I will try to open it as fast as I can with a simple raking technique.

The Interesting thing about the gate guardian, is that they tried to use it to kill SCP-682, and after the guardian failed to kill him, 682 claimed the guardian was a fake, and that the garden he guarded was also fake, he claimed the real garden was west. How true this is, is unknown.

Hi there! I just wanted to say that I am the person who created the artwork used for The Prototype! Absolutely crazy, I made that yeeeears ago on a deviantArt I'd long forgotten about. I'm actually working on some new pieces now and had this playing in the background. My apologies if you had asked about it a long time ago and I'd just forgotten about that interaction. Anyway, it was very surreal, but cool, to look up from what I'm working on to see that blast from the past! Keep up the good work.

Mary: "I PROCLAIM MYSELF THE GOD OF REALITY" *immediately pops out of existence* The SCP Foundation millennia later: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The sheer mental image of an 05 having to saying "I'm a good boy".

8:33 You kinda left out the most important aspect of the Spiral Path: The SCP Foundation doesn't "discover" SCPs, it makes them. They studied the Spiral Path and figured out how it's anomalous properties worked, and from that started making new anomalous objects, creatures and phenomena. Unfortunately, things spiraled (pun intended) out of control.

Day Breaks was always one of the scariest ones to me. It's not even clear _why_ that's a -001 proposal, which makes it somehow more sinister.

I believe the true reason for the multiple proposals is because the enormous importance of the 001 slot, they didn't want to give it to any one person and instead made it a gallery of top works.

New O5 Member: "What's that?" Other O5 Member: "That's the computer that prints bad advice." Computer: "Sticking your hand in SCP-682's mouth, will effectively neutralize it." New O5: "So why do you keep it?" Other O5: "Well we think the stuff it says is hilarious." Computer: "KILL THE MOON KILL THE MOON KILL THE MOON KILL THE MOON."

'Sheaf of Paper' sounds like the best candidate for a canonical SCP-001. 'A Good Boy' is my favourite one; sounds hilarious.

You missed the best part about the "a good boy" proposal-- it's not SCP 001 because it's the worst, or best, or most dangerous, or first SCP. It's SCP 001 specifically because it's the _last_ SCP, having destroyed the previous SCP-001. It eliminated every other SCP, renumbering them all as it did so, to removed any gaps in the numbers. It whittled them down one by one, renumbered them and itself each time and so when it was the only SCP left, it had to renumber itself to 001. It also means there was previously a different 001, which it then later eliminated, leading to the possibility of other and perhaps even all of the orher proposals being true, as well as providing a direct reason for there being multiple-because people are weird and computers don't deal well with that weirdness and try to order it and organize it, and in this case the organizing ended up causing the designation SCP-001 to be reassigned.b

I think SCP-001 is Kanye West

When Day Breaks messed me up for a while after reading it. Just the idea that the sun becoming the most dangerous SCP ever known (thus dislodging the real SCP-001 from its spot, as it's the only SCP that matters now) is scary enough, but the way it "kills" you is far worse. Since sunlight and moonlight destroy you, anyone that wasn't in a room with no windows is immediately turned into one of those homunculus blob things. Even if you kill yourself, they can still absorb you like with the D-Class. They can even "talk" to you and try to convince you it's not as bad as it seems to try and lure you out willingly. It's basically a world without peaceful death, since the only way you can ever hope to die for good is to kill yourself in a room without sunlight with no way for them to enter, and hope they can't get in until your body decomposes completely, and even then it's not certain.

hearing wendigoon thank us so graciously for 7k followers when now, in 2023, he has 2.35M made me smile. he deserves it all

SCP 184- the Architect is what I truly believe the real 001 is. They just stuck it in an inconspicuous file for safekeeping and the other scp 001s are just decoys

I feel like the two scps “the worlds gone beautiful” and “when day breaks” go hand in hand together pretty well.

"Who are you?" "I'm SCP 001" "Do you have the slightest idea of how that narrows things down?"

Awwhh. I really liked The Record when its gimmick was just automagially going to the top of any list it's added to. I thought that simple mechanic was a perfectly fun explanation for why it'd be SCP-001.

Watching this two years later and hearing him say “thank you for 7000 subscribers” makes me teary eyed

Personally, I think the prototype is my favorite 001, and is the most realistic. I mean, the whole idea of SCP 001 is that it’s the first scp that’s been captured. And I doubt the foundation could obtain a god like entity first.

You missed a bit in They Sky Above the Port. The static entity is a child dreaming. The universe is the child's dream. The other entity is his mom trying to wake him up. If he wakes up, the universe (dream) ends. So we have to give him stories (dreams) to keep him asleep or the world ends when he wakes up.

My favorite part about the Good Boy proposal is that everything it suggests inexplicably works

Oh God, I love the UIU's proposal. I can only imagine: SCP Foundation: SCP 001, must be the inconceivable and impossible entity that exist beyond our understanding... UIU: YOU'RE the SCP 001! SCP Foundation: ...what?

dr keter: gets a class of scp's named after him everyone else who has been killed because of scp's: am i a joke to you?

The thing about "A good boy" is that whatever request given, no matter how ridiculous if done it actually somehow neutralized/countered the effect of an SCP

honestly it’s insane how much this man grew in a year

1 year later that SCP video he mentions having 70k views now has 4.5 million. Heartiest congratulations to Wendigoon. You absolutely deserve it!!

"The Ethics Committee is a joke." The Ethics Committee is actually terrifying.

There’s only one person we can get to unlock the lock... the lock picking lawyer

I like the idea of the “bored god” scp having at one point probably seen family guy or a David Attenborough documentary

The spiral path makes the most sense to me, it’s just a regular scp which made the founder look more into anomalies.

You forgot SCP 001 "The Truth" It involves the SCP that expands space inside a room. It says that the universe itself is a room and that there are countless other milky ways, the further out you go, the worse they are, and that the SCP universe and all of the anomalies are due to this inperfection, and that the Earth that we are in (the IRL Earth) is the original

I just love how "A Good Boy" starts off as a Roko's Basilisk story, but takes such a funny turn.

It’s always heartwarming to watch one of the earlier Wendigoon videos after a while and see his progress while he’s thanking everyone for 7k subs. Way to go dude, you deserve every single one of them

Theory of Scp Creation Process 1) a writer in our world creates a new database entry 2) the sheaf of papers copies out that entry 3) The factory Creates the SCP according to the sheaf of papers entry, utilizing life energy from the D-Class Personnel terminated at the end of the previous month.

I believe that it is nothing, simply nothing. The proposals were to convince early sponsors that they had contained an anomaly

The fact this was made when he had 7k subs and now he has over 1M is crazy. I've been here since the scp iceberg and its just incredible how far he's come. Im so glad i found his channel

Wendi was at only 7000 subscribers this time? It's been a year and it's 1.5 mil

The Black Moon sounds like a perfect movie concept.

If you’re still researching on “Does the black moon howl?”, it’s a phrase that has been used in many articles over the years with different interpretations but usually functioning as a memetic trigger or password of sorts. Notably appears in SCP-256, 1739, 3031 and 4002

When day breaks is some of the coolest and most disturbing fiction I've ever read, it's my favorite 001 proposal.

I like to imagine that in universe SCP 001 is something constantly argued about in universe by the staff. Because everyone wants to make it something really important but no one can agree what should get the number. However I also think it’s hilarious that it could also be an anomaly which one of its properties is to always be put on top of any list it’s on

Came back to this video and this intro WOW "I'm at 7k subscribers" "my last vid is at 100k views!!!" How far you've come, Wendigoon! So proud of ya!

I personally love Lily's proposal "The world's gone beautiful" It just seems so unrealistic and weird, but imagining that last moment of peace before everyone dies is something that makes me feel something that doesn't exist. Knowing there's nothing you can do about it. Thinking what you will do, what you will think, who you would talk to, what will you be your last words, it's something I love. I don't know lol

The sheaf of papers seems like the best candidate for scp001 since many of the others don't need to be "patient 0" and would be the same if they were the 100th. The paper stack is meta by the pages for new SCPs written being what happens in the fictional universe and ties the real life website to the fictional universe and represents the SCP foundation website itself and turns the writings into something in lore and relates it to literally every SCP by aiding the employees in finding new ones.

0:48 its always so heartwarming seeing creators say things like this and then looking at their current sub count and just being amazed at how far theyve gone. great job wendigoon, your amazing

From 7,000 to 3.2 million subs in just about 3 years is amazing. You should be proud of yourself dude!

I bet "The World's Gone Beautiful" is the aftermath effects of "When Day Breaks"

I can imagine someone tried to make their own 001 entry for months just to realize that it's basically already been done.

THE SONG NAME For anyone wondering is 19th floor by indigo waves or bobby Richard's

1:00 - The man 7k subs @ 31.01.2021? its currently 22.06.2022 and hes at 1.54 million. DAMN! thats what i call growth! Love the content, keep it up man. Also love the beard and hair. i'm actually a bit jealous.

Can you do a tier list video on all the shirts you own?. Thanks.

Isn't the prototype supposed to be one of the first things the foundation contained like before the creation of the modern foundation? I'm pretty sure that's why the article is formatted so strangely. And the name "Prototype" is in relation to the containment protocols and the formatting of the articles instead of the first human.

the background song is so fire I couldn’t focus on anything

I think the sheaf of papers is the best proposal, simply because of the fourth wall breaking and how simple yet complicated it is

I don't believe that the Fish Hook is supposed to be a simulation, reality, or "lesson". It's entirely a meta piece that's written from the perspective of someone dying to a memetic kill agent when searching into 001. The proposal is less about 001 itself and more about the mystery behind. In fact I think there's only one ending within Fish Hook where you actually survive. Great video nonetheless.

the question "does the black moon howl?" is something that has been in the wiki for a very long time, it was fiirst used in SCP 256, and is normally used as a way to check if someone has been afected by a cognitohazard (this can be seen in action in SCP 3773). it ofcourse has melted and changed through the years being used by many authors for many different things (such as telling if someones is lying as seen in SCP 5236, or as something linked to a very powerful being, this being the black moon). However it is important to remeber that there is no canon and the black moon and "does the black moon howl?" can be whatever one wants. P.D: I know this is probably not going to be read by anyone, but I still had to write it.

Gotta say. The "normalcy" entry is actually really good as an entry and it would make sense to have that term be the first one

Dr. Wondertainment is literally the definition of "we do a little trolling"

Also in keeping with tradition, there’s an editing error during the trindalos trinity part part because I am a big dummy dumb

for some reason, the phrase "does the black moon howl" always elicits a response from scps, or people under the influence of scps. if you ask someone "does the black moon howl?" and they respond with something like "when the foundation crumbles" or "only when the red sun rises" then you know they're affected by something or not entirely human

The real SCP-001 is Wendigoon, and this video is a smokescreen to throw off the 05 council.

You know how there's a safe, euclid, keter, thaumiel and apollyon class of scp I like to believe that SCP 001 is a special class designated for the collective scp that is beyond apollyon. Meaning there is no singular 001, but multiple of it.

My theory: They are all real, but none of them are 001, they are all just really important/powerful so the 05 council classified them as 001 to make them seem legit.

To hear how stoked wendigoon was for 7k subscribers is so wholesome. Your videos “mean the most” my man

My favorite scp 001 proposals are the ones that are tame but unordinary. Someone mentioned something like a tv that turns off at the good parts of a show or movie. I think that's a good candidate as there's enough interests there to look more into the tv without there being a fear that'd dissuade people from looking into it.

I always thought 001 was like a disproportionately heavy spoon that you couldn't pick up.

They also sent SCP-682 at the gate guardian, the implication being that it was the original serpent from the garden. There was a massive battle, with 682 constantly taunting it with references to Eden.

"You are the anomaly" Proceeds to show memetic kill image

7000 subscribers TWO years ago and now 3mil I wanna cry u deserve it all u were destined for the millions

19:25 Foundation: let's put someone on an incinerator to see if they die D-Class: *proceeds to fucking die* Foundation: wait whaaaaaaaaa?

This guy is genuinely becoming one of my favourite youtubers cause holy fuck, even a long video doesn’t seem that long because of how interesting they are. Keep it up, man

i love the sheaf of papers proposal just because the mental image of a bunch of scientists freaking the fuck out over all these creations we're writing, them begging for us to stop while the community is just like "ha ha SCP-46327 sounds real spooky! add it to the list"

watching this two years later as someone who's only just subscribed and seeing him talk about "100k views" and "7k subs" is very amusing in a wholesome way

I think "The World's Gone Beautiful" is my favorite. It exists to remind that we will eventually parish and nothing is forever, so we must cherish what we have. (also the picture just looked nice :p)

I kinda love the idea that SCP-001 is just a thing that has to always be #1 when listed

Swann's Proposal could have been explained better - its whole thing is that we, the SCP writers/community, are SCP-001, and they know that they're actually fictional characters and that we're their gods. They have containment procedures for us (mainly memetic kill agents), but overall, they're not sure if killing us will end their universe, so they're being really careful about it.

Looking back on this video and seeing you be so thankful for your success then makes me really happy you've been just skyrocketing since. We love you Wendigoon

I can understand that researching so many entries for this video was probably difficult, but there are a couple important details on many of these here that are either missing or wrong. One that really caught my attention was the good boy entry. The original entry was less about the computer being some insane thing that kept telling the foundation to kill people (and cats), but more so an anomalous AI that would suggest seemingly nonsensical procedures to either help better contain SCP's, with surprising effectiveness when properly implemented, or would be able to accurately predict catastrophic events and how to deal with them. While they eventually try to ignore it for fear of what it might actually be or be doing, it manages to infiltrate the council and somehow replace members of it in order to be able to continue doing its work, and eventually it succeeds in eliminating all anomalies regardless of the wishes of its creators. It also REALLY didn't like cats.

SCP 001 When day breaks: **a terrifying event where every single person begins melting, and gets formed into terrible algaminations** SCP 001 The scarlet king: **a entity which gets more powerful by the second, and will one day destroy the entire universe as we know it** SCP 001 A good boy: ASSERT DOMINANCE

This was Wendigoon back when 100,000 views was an amazing amount for him. Seeing him talk about that on a 2 million view video is, something
