Doug is like a somewhat perfect wingman. But instead of hyping someone up, he exposes the flaws and faults so they can be fixed

An SCP story with a wholesome ending? Love it

A physical manifestation of depression, self doubt and insecurity. This is as educational as it is entertaining, while strangely inspiring. An SCP about taking control of your emotions and a huge break from the nihilistic tone of other SCP stories. Whoever wrote this, and the summary this channel added at the end is just a chef's kiss.

This is actually great therapy advice, take an issue that's bugging you and personify it and treat it as such as this SCP. Let it 'berate' you with bad/hurtful thoughts but intercept them logically, again as described here. Because otherwise you'd find youself arguing against yourself and creating a positive feedback loop in which those thoughts get worse. I use this kind of technique and it really works

This SCP is literally a metaphor for insecurities and overcoming them. I'm proud of you, Dr Bob, for making such an amazing and wholesome video!

I love this SCP. "Doug" is a very good friend. His methods might be a bit unorthodox, but they work

A romance plot in a Dr. Bob video, that doesn't end in horrifying tragedy? I never thought I'd see the day!

To whoever wrote this SCP, this is a remarkable metaphor for mental illness and how only the sufferer knows what it tells them, and others can only just catch glimpses of it. As though it's only real for the person with the illness but no one else. Well done.

This SCP is so charming... Just would have to be careful dealing with it. Thanks again Dr.Bob for bringing us another well explanation

Doug is basically Phillip's bff once Phillip and Amelia started having feelings for each other. This is true friendship between an anomaly and a human

Doug's character development really surprised me, but honestly, I'm happier that he's being more constructive towards Phillip than deconstructive. It's...just a perfect metaphor of overcoming your anxieties in life. Wonderful video Dr. Bob!!

Having Doug around is like being in a constant trip. Being forced to look in the mirror every day and face your demons. The fact that it only appears in reflections is so symbolic. I LOVE this one.

I love the stories before the actual scp breakdown. No matter how brief or in depth they are, they just add a unique view on each scp

"A friend is someone who'll help you move, a best friend is someone who'll disintegrate your enemies' eyes." True words of friendship ❤️

scp-5056 (doug) can actually be a good companion, it insults you, using stuff that's negative about you in the insults, that way you can actually fix stuff about yourself, using those insults. and he can also be a little side-advisor for you, so that's the good about doug, in my honest opinion.

So… how does Phil deal with Doug in a “private” sense? Like when he’s in the bathroom will Doug’s face be in the toilet? Or when he’s picking out rings. Does Doug go “hmm this one is nice” or “look harder”?What about times of intimacy will Doug leave or just be there watching/coaching him?

I like these SCPs; the ones that aren't just murder monsters.

Arguably one of the most wholesome and in a sense ”realistic” SCP’s yet, I love it. Great video as always Dr Bob, you’ve come far, hope you go even further in the future

Okay, this one really gets me in the heart. Sometimes an SCP doesn't have to be dangerous. It could be the little voice in your head literally like this one

I've spent time in hospital for depression and this story really resonated with me. It's an incredibly interesting way of thinking about the dynamic between ourselves and our thoughts. Whoever wrote this story was brilliant and likely inspired by their own inner turmoil. Amongst all the "scary" stories this one is well-written ranking amongst the best.

Now I'm imagining Phil trolling Doug by leaving miniscule bits of dirt on the floor and then acting completely oblivious about it.

Wow this is a rare one, Dr. Bob. An SCP story and file with not so much blood, violence, sadness, and misery. But rather a weirdly wholesome and secretly useful anomaly. I guess Doug really was just trying to help Philips.

SCP-001 The Bob Class: Keter Containment Procedure: containment is practically and theoretically impossible. Description: A collection of extremely high quality animated videos that possess an immediate and irreversible addictive effect through anomalous means.

Y'know, this is more self-reflective than most SCP vids, especially to those with anxiety issues, such as myself. I think I'll hold on to this one if I ever feel down in the swamps

Not gonna lie, I’d be down to have Doug as a companion to the grave I’d have a bodyguard wherever I went (I wear glasses so it could probably spawn anywhere when needed) Doug could probably set me straight and fix my jumpscare problems and even though he would give insults left and right, I wouldn’t be alone

A story where an SCP is an overprotective friend who helps someone instead of killing them gruesomely? *Most wholesome SCP.*

Doug in the background is the pinical of tough love, he is harsh to help his person improve but yet at the same time is his gaurdian

this scp is almost endearing actually; i kept on worrying that things would take a turn for the worse, like the scp would kill amelia or something, but this was actually really sweet and comforting to watch

Dr. Bob's reflection just beats the shit out of Doug in the end, poor Doug

i feel like doug is either just a really really good or bad friend. he might have weird methods but i like to think doug is a pretty good friend

It's so nice to finally see an entity tale where 50 people didn't get slaughtered and very nice to see another insight from Dr bob on humanity and the duality of man! Sometimes even those dealing with our darkest of demons can we make something good out of the situation as always can't wait till the next video!!

This SCP story was actually a lot more wholesome than I honestly expected.

Am I the only one who really loves 5056s design? It looks so good Edit:100 likes? Nice 2nd edit: 200 likes? Even better

I think this became my favorite SCP just because of how wholesome the story became.

This video literally brought a tear to my eye because I relate to Phil! I deal with mental illness and even though I am unable to see a manifestation of what I hear in my head I do characterize it in that manner. I’ve never thought about it in this way and instead of taking the judgmental belittling criticism I hear in my head I will attempt to take what I hear and heal. Thank you so much for this video!

The thing I find so weird about these stories is that they never seem to fill people in about the SCPs before they get there. That should be standard protocol to prevent you know, death by shock or something.

I'm not sure this thing is as wholesome as people think, I think it just found the only person on the planet who could benefit from such psychological torment. I can see how it helped Phillip but if that thing attached itself to anyone else it'd probably drive them to suicide. Although.....there is something to be said for the fact that it doesn't speak lies or half truths. Only the anxieties that are already present in the person, so maybe I'm wrong.

This SCP legit put me into tears. When I first got into SCP, SCP 343 and 999 were my favorites, but I think SCP-5056 literally just stole my heart. Love you Doctor Bob. Your Stories are the best.

Literally everything I love in an scp is here. Only affects one person, is not innately hostile, is somewhat intelligent, secretly neutral or even beneficial, and yet still horribly monstrous.

Shout out to whoever the writer is for this SCP. Really creative!

This SCP, honestly, seems a lot like a hallucination of schizophrenia, although much more violent. I admire Phillip's perserverance with Doug.

An anomaly with a happy ending? Well that's rare!

It's interesting to me that most SCP documents read like a horror story told backwards, with details describing the anomaly followed by reports showing what it did to people. But Dr. Bob likes to present them in a classic style where he starts with the origin story.

How can I get a Doug???

the animation keeps getting better and the stories are always interesting! =>

I've been watching your stuff since SCP-3700 (tides of war), and I can't express how happy I am about how far you've come! Your videos animations keep getting better every video and you always manage to find the most interesting SCPs to do a video on. Keep up the great work Doctor Bob!

This SCP is like how we have a person talking in our head trying to bring us down with insecurities, self doubt, bad thoughts, memories, etc. At some point in life, we fight against it.

"...Eventully we might just belove it enough for that voice to finally shut up" YAAAAASSSS QUEEN BOB💅✨️😭💀

It's nice to have an SCP story with a happy, but still thought provoking ending. I think this is one of my favorite Dr. Bob videos yet!

This is one of the best SCPs so far. Mad deep.

This is the most wholesome scp I have ever heard of. And may I go on to say though basic and simple the animation is, I can't explain it but the way the animation is done it really brings it to life. Along side the enthusiastic narration of every video. I've always liked SCP, but this channel has never failed to bring me back for more. (well, except for that time period I decided to avoid anything from the horror genre for.. personal reasons.)

As someone who used to struggle with intrusive thoughts, depression, and ect, this was great! Thanks for making this!

An SCP that is much less evil, and more along the lines of self-reflection, demons within us that may not have physical form, but are powerful enough to be important to us. That is the difference here. 5056 does hurt us, but is there act as a siren toward our faults and shortcomings. To point out what is wrong and find ironically help us pursue what makes us happy. There will always be hurt. Their will always be strain. Yet for 5056, it is all about overcoming the pain. An excellent choice of SCP, Doc. 5056 is, arguably, beneficial to the foundation in the same manner as SCP-4205, In the Eyes of The Beholder. Sure it will hurt, but that hurt and or loss was possibly meant to teach us a sobering lesson. In that case, it was telling us we are always our own harshest critic. For 5056, it is about insecurity and pain, but can be shut up so long as we learn to speak up about what we want

Scp 5056 appears to have been animated with a 3d model at times. Which really makes it stick out in the 2d animation style of this video.

This SCP hit home with me. I dont see an anomalous face in a mirror buf I treated myself horribly. My life improved and Ive been learning to accept the good that comes to me and stop feeling unworthy step by step.

Im so happy for phil. He overcame his insecurities and depression; he even managed to find completion. If he can do it, so can i. And so can you :)

This channel got me into the whole SCP wiki and lore. Thank you Dr. Bob. Love your videos.

The helluva boss season 2 premiere AND an episode of dr.bob on the same day? Ah, yes, today was a good day

It’s funny, Doug is almost like a therapist, using tough love to help Phil confront parts about himself he didn’t like. The fact he protects Phil from outside threats proves he just wants to help him

as a person who was born with some pretty severe mental disorders and regularly had to deal with seeing and hearing things that werent there as a child this one honestly is rather comforting as a story. It also is a good way to describe my entire life journey because i had that awful voice in my head for most of my life. Shutting it down is not always easy, but the fact that i finally got to where i can shut it down is one of the biggest pieces of progress over my own brain ive ever made. this strikes me as a journey most humans with basic feelings and empathy would need to take at some point. whoever wrote this one is amazing.

This is my favorite SCP so far, and I think this is because of your way of presenting it! I really recognized my self in the end! :(

Stand User: Phillip E. Deering Stand Name: SCP-5056 (Doug)

In the middle of life's ups and downs, it's important to prioritize your mental health. Remember that you are more powerful than you realize. Even when things are bad, stay strong and keep moving forward.

Ok firstly, that animation work on "Doug" is extremely interesting and amazing. Secondly this is extremely interesting for an SCP. Thanks so much for sharing this. As a person diagnosed with Anxiety and depression I really enjoyed this. I also appreciate that it even protects him. I'm also so happy it allows them to be married. That his feeling reach "Doug" and it knows the areas where he no longer carries doubt so it has nothing to say.

Kinda reminds me of this Japanese films and stories that use the supernatural to put a creative spin on everyday problems. I could totally see a movie idea like this bouncing around miasaki's head.

That's kind of how smoking weed was for me.. It was useful to be able to focus on things I needed to work on but it became kind of obsessive and existential and I had to stop. Opiates are the only thing I've ever tried that actually cleared my mind and made me feel almost like a kid again but they also screwed up my health so I had to quit those too. But I mean, SCP-5056 _really_ reminds me of what it was like for me to smoke weed... I'm always introspective and conscientious anyway but that just took it to a crushing level.

I like that there’s an SCP that helps someone overcome their issues and insecurities it helped him understands his true feelings

Not every SCP has to be a horror story. Even the wholesome ones can be made interesting with the right telling.

This was a diffrent scp episode, not one that strikes confusion, fear, joy and other emotions; but in my opinion a deep message

The whole time I was expecting something to go wrong at the end This one reminds me of SCP-1471

I think this is the first scp story I’ve seen that has a moral 💀

I think Doug should be made into his own plushie! He's one of my top 10 favs now

Hey DR. bob I just wanted to let someone know the CC from 2:39 to 3:08 doesn’t work for a bit, I really love this series and when I saw that CC issue I wanted to let someone know because I don’t want anyone to miss these fun and informative videos 😊

Aww, this one was kinda sweet. At the very least I'm glad Phil could manage it.

SCP-5056 is that one friend who will insult you for making stupid decisions but give good advice that will make your life better. A homie who is stuck with you forever.

This SCP is so inspiring. Telling us about our insecurities and how to deal with it. Our inner demons never truly going away. Thank you, Dr. Bob for another amazing story.

I expected a creepy scp episode, instead I found a wholesome one. it was a great surprise!

Never clicked faster in my life

Philip : trying to stay awake at a night shift Doug : -sings lullaby maliciously-

I... really love this. Thank you, Dr. Bob, for doing this SCP.

This SCP is strangely wholesome, I don't know why !

Dr Bob is the best scp explain Channel ngl

That was honestly one of the most kindhearted SCP I’ve ever listened/watched, too bad there aren’t many anomalies that are like that😊😊

This was a better life lesson than one Dhar Mann has ever said

Dough is the definition of "Tough love"

I would kill for a full scp movie from you

I love what you did designing this SCP. It looks a lot like 3d or photo realistic, which stands out a lot in a 2d world, and makes it look even more alien, even though it represents a common reality

This SCP should be nicknamed “The Wholesome Ending”, because that’s exactly what it is.

Haven't finished the video, but this is going very good for a SCP video... This is not going to end well, right? EDIT: Well, that was a pretty pleasent surprise

This one reminds me of Yet Another Murder Monster (SCP-5031). Starts creepy, we think it'll portray some monster that haunts and kills people, but in fact tries to help people become better. Happy ending SCPs are always welcome in this series saturated with killer anomalies.

This scp is basically "not what you want to hear, but what you need to hear"

This one was great!! I’m glad to hear about an SCP that helps people more than harms them and the message is an important one too.

Bro Dr.Bob's videos are becoming way more intriguing and awesome! Thanks for putting so much effort to the series and keep the animations and videos great.

The WHOLE time I was thinking "...but something bad is gonna happen to them. Don't hope yet", but here I am at the end of the video having been truly warmed to a beautiful story. I had a hard time finding the author of this SCP, but may his and everyone in this channel's future be full of fulfillment, learning, and that sweet cash 💰💰

I don't normally comment but I had to comment. This scp investigation was just amazing. I have been diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety, and this really hit home. We all have our self-doubts and worries that we aren't good enough for anyone or even yourselves. It takes real effort to turn around and face those thoughts and firmly giving yourself the affirmation and self-love that you deserve. It may take years, but this file from Dr.Bob has given a star in an otherwise dark sky. Thanks, Dr. Bob

These videos are insane! This is hands down the best SCP channel on KZfaq! But man it took me a while to stumble upon this channel. A few weeks ago I was looking for a quality SCP channel, but pretty much all of them were just people reading the text from the official site word by word, then your channel showed up in my feed a few days ago.

I love this scp and it has given me some thoughts on how to handle my own anxiety and I hope those ideas will allow me to over time maybe get better and hopefully happier.

Doug: ur bad Philip: *thanks* Doug: dont take this a bad way Philip: *i know*

"You know what they say. A friend is someone who will help you move, a best friend is someone who will disintegrate your enemy's eyes." Now that's a yearbook quote

I swear every single time I think about wanting a new SCP video, you post. Love this channel
