SCP-096 The Shy Guy (SCP Animated)-Army Combat Veteran REACTS!

[@Mclionmane]

While i find it incredibly awesome that you're having a look into the scp universe, i do recommend taking a look at The Volgun, scp Illustrated, and The Exploring Series. To my knowledge, they give way more details and depth into each scp they cover, while youtube creators like The Rubber seem to skip out on much.

[@medibar576]

Also to mention SCP Orientation. That's also a really good channel similar to the Volgun but in a more serious sounding narration.

[@Mclionmane]

@@medibar576 I haven't taken a look at their content yet. Thank you for telling me.

This really isn't the best channel for gaining presice information about SCP Lore, and most of the non-scientific language used is added by the narrator, I'd recommend checking out The Volgun or SCP Illustrated.

[@SymmbolZS]

Yeah, The rubber is the worst. Turn an hour worth of info into a ten minute video full of things without context

[@PunadianOfficial]

@@SymmbolZS I heard of another one like rubber but Dr. Bob actually bothers to put blood and violence. The man mainly focuses on the lesser known SCPs.

And don't forget toptatvids! They make highly good gmod animations and have a big narration team!

[@MakooWallinen]

THe Exploring Series SCP exploring series is also good. My personal favorite. But when it comes to SCp 096 I would watch the movie

[@AnotherCrazyClown]

As most people comment, SCP universe is related to a very specific way to tell the data, that's why most prefer SCP Illustrated, The Exploring Series or The Volgun (i prefer this last one as some video include voice dramatization of interviews) but credit where credit is due, The Rubber and other more cartoonish media sometimes brings more people than a very monotone-told story for this ambient where most can't stand 7 seconds without something interesting happening at the start, sadly as some add, some data is missed or avoided just to get to the most interesting parts of the SCP. Also SCP content creators are dying in some way, don't know if it's because of the violent and traumatic lore (altough there's some very wholesome ones) that doesn't get recommended by the algorithm, so these channels doesn't get enough revenue or the views that deserves for this piece of fictional fan-made literature and let me tell you some of them are incredibly good to be casually made and read for free on the internet.

[@basic_avarage_person]

I get what yiu mean and i guess i was one of them,i just cant listen to people read scp wiki from wiki itself

[@Tahu33446]

Like detective void. I like his way of putting himself into the lore

[@AJSSPACEPLACE]

Hey, cool video. But I think you should avoid supporting this specific content creator. They rarely link back to the wiki, and they often make extremely blatant mistakes when adapting articles. For example, the rubber often ignores clinical tone. SCP illustrated would maybe be a better choice. They make visually interesting SCP content, maintain clinical tone, and they are highly involved in he community.

[@k96man]

Yeah, A lot of Paul's problems with this video aren't present in SCP illustrated

[@SymmbolZS]

There are a lot of better scp content creators than the rubber whose cashing in on the popularity. "The vulgun" "SCP illustrated" "SCP Explained" "Dr bob"

[@PlanetaryPhoenix]

There actually is a story on the Wiki about the guy who unfortunately had to test the “Drawing it” theory. He was put basically in a box at the bottom of an extremely deep pool, a long way away from 096. He was given images captured from a drone, told to describe it, then told to draw it to the best of his ability. Meanwhile, 096 was sprinting towards him. Soon after finishing his drawings, he was told to burn the originals, and to just wait. A few minutes later, he obviously was ripped apart. He was a D Class tattoo artist, by the way

[@hi14993]

specifically, he was in a bathosphere at the bottom of the marianas trench.

[@Bruh-jz1se]

@@Bruh-jz1se About that, the absolute worst part was that Foundation had to retrieve him after to exclude any possibility of another three pixels incident

[@zacmahaney5979]

To be fair, when “The Rubber” mentions SCP 682, he does mean literally immortal, as in so far, no matter what the foundation tries to use to kill 682, nothing works. Not only is it clinically immortal, it mutates and changes to keep itself alive, even to the point of reconstituting itself from a collection of cells.

If you watch anymore SCP videos, I highly recommend TheVolgun or SCPIllustrated. They give you much more detail about the SCP being talked about.

[@airsoftpopcorn]

Yeah, their videos feel a lot more immersive

[@josephparks7628]

@@airsoftpopcorn it's cuz they put work into their vids lol. Not saying that Rubber doesn't. But because of the KZbin algorithm, his shorter vids about scp's will be recommended much more often to people new to scp vids. Just cuz his vids are short and thus "easier" to watch. Volgun's and Illustrated's vids won't be cuz they are much longer due to them actually putting the story and details into the SCP.

Speaking of uncanny valley, something someone pointed out that I think about a lot whenever I hear about it... If we have this instinctual fear of things that fall into that category? Then at some point in our evolutionary history, we had a reason to be afraid of something that looked like us, but wasn't us. Kinda freaky to think about. Wondering what could have possibly put that instinct into us.

[@SaintKuro]

That's because we killed pretty much every other homogenous races during our evolution.

[@hoangvuification]

Other human races lmao or some kind ofbmonster that mimic humans

[@atomicspartan131]

I think it’s more that if something falls into uncanny valley, our brains can’t 100% say something is a threat or not. So then our brain goes “alright, I’ll assume it’s a threat because that’s the safer option, but I still have no idea what this thing is”

[@hi14993]

One likely source is probably Neanderthal. Both Human ancestors and Neanderthal existed at the same time in the same area. In fact, there is evidence that either a) Human ancestors killed off Neanderthal, b) Human and Neanderthal bred and helped further evolution, and/or c) Both.

watching "the rubber" scp videos is all the confirmation i need that some people use language like a monkey shooting a rifle; no awareness of the actual proper use, just the very basic notion that finger pull make loud noise.

[@nathanielthomson6600]

I'd recommend watching Volgun's videos over the runner's. He does actual audio logs and everything else.

[@landonbolton9789]

11:20 scp 682 can regenerate from a single cell and gains the resistance/power of what almost killed it

[@dwavenminer]

Including surviving the literal laws of physics being dramatically altered around it...

[@Firemalleoandjelly]

1:27 he does say 'grossly out of proportion with the rest of the subjects body." So that means relative to the rest of it, those arms are way too long.

[@Tobigood]

The Rubber is a good introduction to the concept of SCPs but has some odd habits that can irk some people. For me it feels like the script is written by someone for whom English is a second language, then narrated without correction by someone better able to speak it. I still watch them occasionally, but it’s something that pulls me out of the story every time I notice it.

[@uncubus8459]

11:33 I appreciate the analysis. Very clever. Unfortunately though, they do in fact mean he is immortal. As far as the foundation is concerned, there is no way to kill it. Even using other powerful scps

[@daroy1233]

10:40 Nope. 682 is literally immortal in every sense. No matter what foundation does to it, they can't kill it. Which is a problem considering 682's hate for humankind and it's attempts to kill humans whenever it gets a chance to do so. It is in fact so dangerous and hard to contain, it's one of the very few anomalies the foundation actually wants to destroy, instead of locking away. If I'm wrong about something, someone please correct me.

[@jocosesonata]

8:45 / 9:03 - I find this part really insightful of how military reports are written. Thank you, that actually helps a lot with writing stories.

[@edwardcrow6385]

I highly recommend the Lord Bung Confinement series if you like the scp universe!

[@saint6519]

This video plays like it’s SCP for children. It basically simplified and condensed the article down into a light summary, cutting out the best parts of the story. It’s like they actively tried to make 096 as unremarkable and mundane as possible. I would instead recommend theVolgun if you want to explore more into the SCP universe. Keep in mind though that his videos do not have any visuals, as the primary experience is in the reading. It won’t be something to watch as much as it is something to listen to. But his readings are definitely top notch.

[@Thezion1111]

God dammit, not another reacter that chooses the rubber over channels that actually put effort into the videos like SCP illustrated

[@andfriends11]

Would definitely recommend looking in to The Volgun. Not as visually interesting at times but much more informative and accurate to the original article.

[@courier-ec6zj]

SCP 682 is incredibly hard to kill. To my knowledge, only one thing had managed to kill it, and it also killed everything considered alive. It has a regeneration ability, and adapts quickly.

[@BT293HG]

The files themselves are very detailed and professional. This is just a summary

[@prometheanrebel3838]

For more information with a good story, I'd suggest SCP Illustrated. For more information in a professional setting, see TheVolgun.

I don't know why he says leave no trace. He usually rips them apart sometimes he bites them but doesn't eat them. Try volgun or another SCP animated channel. There is a short film for 096. From the team that made Overlord.

[@dovahkat9635]

When I read the page on 096 my take was that once it kills someone, the only indication that there was someone there at all is a bloodstain. Granted it doesn't explicitly state what it does to its victims, but it seems to imply there isn't going to be anything to bury once it's done.

[@NoInfoAvail]

@@dovahkat9635 How does he leave no trace when multiple people see him, as he travels to kill and original SCP 096-1? Does he eat everyone he kills? In almost all interpretations of his assaults in his victims or others who see him. He just rips them apart.

[@lukelblitz3627]

No Bad channel Go see SCP illustrated or the volgun

[@hi14993]

I think that while Rubber does a good job. The Volgun captures the mannerisms and mood much better.

[@brilobox2]

lets be honest, Rubber doesn’t do a good job. The cadence is weird, details are missed, and the overall style just doesn’t fit the tone of the subject matter.

[@leandromiguel4481]

I suggest watching the Volgun or Scp illustrated for better explanation

[@pyrra581]

well i would say there are MUCH more disturbing or scary things on the SCP wiki, i have a massive fear of SCP-106 and how he can be practically anywhere.

[@ReaderViaNil]

11:20 yeah but no, scp 682 is actually literally, uncannilly immortal. As in, his continued existence is a nigh absolute certainty no matter what you physically or metaphysically try to do to him to kill him or even make him less of a threat. He can "regenerate" from organic soup, and react to metaphysical attacks like conceptual erasures of his existence. This guy just explains it like a 5 year old reading a script that went roundtrip through a translator 20 times

[@MakooWallinen]

The Exploring series is my favorite. But for this specific SCP the animated and live acted short film is really good.

[@DoomsDayPaladin]

When talking about SCP-682, theres a reason why hes called the unkillable lizard. All methods, to this date, were exhausted in termination of SCP-682. There was 05 chatter about taking him to SCP-001 Gate guardian but that was scrubbed due to the lack of safe transportation. SCP-682 can sustain damage to the point 68% or 86%, forgot the numbers, of his body would be damaged and he'd begin the regeneration process. 682 can also adapt to situations as well. Now if you want a more creepier SCP to look at. I suggest SCP-610.

[@riccardocastiglioni1611]

So there is actualy a story about the person that made a painting of SCP-096: a D-class personnel (D for disposable, for obvious reasons) was provided a photo of the entity while he was in a submarine on the opposite side to the globe in relation to 096's current location. He drew a portrait of the creature as he was instructed, then put the portrait in a case that was shot up to the surface for retrieval. As for the D-class, not even being at the bottom of the ocean saved him.

[@nathantheauthor5025]

I recommend looking into SCP-610, better known as THE FLESH THAT HATES. It is a horrific nightmare combining zombies with Cronenberg level body horror. It's my personal favorite SCP that still scares me.

[@f2progamer80]

The Rubber often gives inaccurate or simplified information for SCPs to appeal to a larger audience. TheVolgun and SCP Illustrated are much better choices if you want to see the most accurate depictions of the SCPs.

[@TheDinohunter2000]

SCP-682 has true immortality. It literally cannot be killed. By any means.

[@dwavenminer]

Well except by SCP-666 1/2-J (It's a good laugh, you should give it a quick read)

[@DarknessHashira]

oh, SCP 682 is such a great scp to look into!! might try to look into The Vulcan's version of it though

[@The-GrapeGamer]

13:46 the issue with this is that the scp universe has a tendency to break any natural law, whether it's the laws of physics or the laws of gravity, the scp universe has broken them all in one way or another there has been several cases where something happens without an explanation as to how or why besides that it just simply can

[@carbon-basedlifeform2562]

I think you should watch scp explained, or scp illustrated, rubber doesn't have fully accurate videos 15:17 in the lore its explained that they used a class-D for that (death row inmates recruited for testing, the government fully supports the foundation) with painting skills, he was sent underwater a few kilometers away from SCP-096 to paint his face using a photo, giving him like 10+ minutes to finish before the SCP killed him

[@REDMAN-bk7lw]

TheRubber doesn’t quote everything said in the original SCP-096 doc

[@HunhowsShadowStalker]

Fun fact: The fact that we have color in the world is a result of an SCP. However, the Foundation was unable to contain the effect, and instead released a powerful amnestic agent into the atmosphere, making everyone believe it's always been that way.

[@JoeyGames123]

Woohoo Paul doesnt have to stand anymore he isnt tired after recording now :D

[@thorveim1174]

about 682: no it IS immortal for all we know. the foundation tried EVERYTHING to kill it, and 682 always adapts and is back as new, some times even stronger than before. they even have to keep it in an acid bath constantly just to keep it weakened, and even then there is sign the darn thing succeeds at extracting nutrition from the acid. Its a case of a creature the foundation REALLY wants dead, but cant get rid of, even using other SCPs that can rewrite reality.

[@ceu160193]

If you want a more in-depth look into how SCPs are catalogued you should check out The Volgun. No offense to the Rubber but Volgun follows a more professional(and arguable in canon) way of 'recording' how SCP entities are catalogued.

[@FriendlyGoblinWasTaken]

The Rubber usually tells a really big summary of SCP's but a summary so big that the SCP's end up not looking as scary or intimidating as they actually are, example, the death by viewing a photo that he mentioned was a death triggered from a man that was looking at photos he took some years ago and focused on a pixel in the background that pixel of course being 096 triggering 096 to break his cell and run directly towards the man who lived km from 096's containement site, this is also a summary of the event of course, I would recomment SCP illustrated more than the Rubber unlike the Rubber SCP illustrated doesn't skip through interesting information so people without attention span don't click off edit: Also the Volgun makes really good SCP videos

[@shadowturtleyinyang]

btw 682 is another scp that has been approved for termination and it like 96 is still there

[@laurence4352]

[@jacobrocket1734]

i find it odd you went on a rant about how an "air tight seal" cant be true or is hard to be true with cameras when the frame you paused the video on for literal minutes during your rant says "NO VIDEO SURVEILLANCE" meaning they were saying its a air tight seal with no way to check in on the scp and not what you were ranting about. this is why i usually dont like it when anyone pauses a video they are reacting to in the middle of the video trying to provide you information and not at the end of the bloody sentence cause you end up (eventually) missing vital information from the video like you did edit: other than that one thing, love the videos as well as the tactical info when its needed
