[@mud4309]

I love the era when the SCPs were unnatural - one could say, anomalous, and the goal of the SCPF was to understand the inner workings and history of a disturbingly out of place entity/object with little more than leads and scientific research to help YOU imagine more conclusions and interpretations than the SCPF. The anomalies were so much more enigmatic and memorable because no one had a FULL grasp on how they worked or what they were because they were so inherently unnatural and “wrong” in our world, and that made them all the more spooky, threatening, and memorable, as the questions and mysteries surrounding them sparked a ton of conversation and let you imagine and wonder what their REAL full danger/capabilities were, and what terrifying implications there were due to it’s existence. Sadly, it feels like a lot of this is lost on newer SCPs. They mistake having a longer and more complex story and addendums for having a better SCP, and will write an almost full book/short story answering every single question and mystery that could be it’s own entirely separate thing from SCP if they changed a couple names While I do like a lot of those stories, (and I LOVE a couple) I feel like they miss the point and opportunity that makes SCP such a unique and awesome medium for telling stories that wouldn’t make sense or wouldn’t be as entertaining in any other medium.

[@jwalster9412]

​@@mud4309 those ones are the best. No explanation, mostly mystery, and odd details that hint towards something, but it's not clear what. Unlike a lot of the newer ones where the SCPF is apparently blind and misses every detail that is blatantly obvious to the readers.

@@jwalster9412 Those that bother me personally are those where the author forgets that the Foundation is meant to be a research entity, not just a "catch them all" group. The exact nature of the research may change, but it must be there. I can understand "100% studied" entries, where the research has mostly happened and the Foundation understands the anomaly, but it must have happened previously. A perfect example of this IMO is the "Gaia" article. We read it after most things have happened, but still get to see the process of how the Foundation interacted with the SCP

[@kylewilson9260]

I think this is a good reminder of what SCP was in the past vs. what it is now.

[@mariofan1ish]

I like The Old Man as much as anyone else does, but the writing on this one is really showing its age. Clearly made at a time when SCP was more grounded in reality, 106's pocket dimension really isn't special anymore, the amount of redactions is a little obscene (though nowhere near as bad as 682's) and they heavily overuse the term "appears to" in order to sound more clinical. It's also kinda short, which frankly isn't a bad thing. Huge epochs like The Scarlet King, Ouroboros Cycle and such are great, but these small ones make up the heart of what SCP is.

[@MrQuantumInc]

Most SCPs are not actually malicious, emphasis on most. I like how the containment procedures had to be repeatedly changed. Really many of the SCPs probably involve some sort of change to the official containment procedures as they learned more about them. Any breach probably initiates some sort of review of the containment procedures. Every SCP probably had some preliminary, in the field containment procedures from before the official SCP record was written. On the other hand, somehow it feels appropriate here.

[@lmiartegtra9412]

I love the gradual increase in distance to be maintained from the containment. "Yeah 20m oughta be good." "Ok we did not get that right at all up that to about 30m" "Well. I don't wanna get dragged away like the last guy so double it" Eventually I imagine they'll just launch it into space inside a completely randomised Lead Labyrinth with 94.5 layers. Then a month later a new correction will be made saying to maintain a distance of 10,000,000 km when possible.

[@AnimeShinigami13]

I'm pretty curious about one particular tactic and this scp. Its used when dealing with aggressive narcisists that you can't avoid and its called "gray rocking" where you simply don't react to the person's antics and stay as uninteresting as possible. volunteer as little information as possible. stay quiet and still and ignore the person. I wonder what scp 106 would do if someone in his pocket dimension that he captured for amusement simply stopped reacting to him. He's a sadist that's why he comes when the recall protocol is set off. He gets off on people's fear and pain. What happens if you don't give him that? Will he pass you by?

[@Washeek]

No psychiatrist/psychologist here, but don't the worst sadists have their sadistic outbursts as a sort of drug? It's like one of the few things that spikes their dopamine (or whichever hormone) levels? So if you did not provide it with "entertainment" I'd expect to grow increasingly frustrated and agitated, either finding a way to make the victim react or finding a different victim. Like if you imagine a sadistic urge as a hunger and your non-reactive victim as the only close-by source of food that is in a hard to open, yet clear container, what would your reaction be?

[@Gravity_studioss]

Imagine sending a lobotomized Class D down there. One that cannot physically feel fear and pain.

[@Washeek]

@@Gravity_studioss Then the old man would quickly discover that and take vengeful action against the foundation on other victims. It's clearly not a chimp.

[@XBloodyBaneX]

I feel like you could fully contain 106 by making his containment chamber walls out of a low surface area lattice of some kind, possibly even multiple layers of multi-layers lattices, with water suspended inside and between each layer. He need a certain amount of surface area to use his surface to surface transfer ability, and by not only reducing the amount of surface he has, but making each lattice layer have multiple internal layers, with suspended water in between the latticed, would be far too complex and confusing for 106 to move thru. Or maybe a low viscosity anti corrosion liquid of some kind.

[@thefallencog]

Its been revealed in tales that 106 finds the traps Obnoxious, but he knows how to escape them if he really wants. The problem with most of the complex cells is that, at least when the tales regarding them were originally wrote, they completely worked more or less in containing 106, however 106's corrosion effect would essentially make them useless eventually, and he'd break free. And its clear that the 05's are a bit afraid of trying live repairs because then 106 will wake up an intentionally try to break out, doing more damage then he was doing originally in a passive state. I believe it was proposed a few times in lore/joke lore that if a way to make a containment cell that would regenerate faster then 106 would destroy it, would be a good way to contain him indefinitely, but no such material that can do that has been discovered. And even if it was, its more or less been confirmed that it doesn't matter, as 106 has grown to like his game of cat and mouse with the foundation, and he could leave at any time if he wanted, Although he really hates the lights, so he kinda doesn't enjoy the idea of leaving, although he acknowledges he can if he really wants to. They feed him and provide him with shelter. Especially when its time to "play" with his prey.

This one is a classic in every sense of the word. It's not just an early and popular anomaly - it's one that really explores and defines not only the SCP itself, but the character of the foundation. When faced with something that is nigh-impossible to contain, they continuously adapt, they learn from their mistakes, and when it comes down to it, they resort to ruthless tactics to leverage the anomaly's few weaknesses. And even that is often insufficient in the face of the paranormal threats they face.

I read some of the stories, research documents, interviews - etc etc. - but mostly the SCP files. This one, I remember, and he makes my skin crawl. I think the part that makes this a really nasty experience is that he doesn't do it to eat - he does it for FUN, entertainment... this creature is just... I wish there was a way to get rid of this one for good.

[@sideways5153]

Such a textbook example of a Keter-class anomaly. Don’t envy the team that has to lure this thing back into containment by leaving out a meal like it’s an outdoor cat.

[@JujangoPlays]

when they added his pocket dimension to the games it took the game to another level. Was so surreal what this scp can do. Apparently he shares a common origin with scp 035

[@kingartison]

Literally as soon as I this video started 4 seconds in a amber alert went out

[@tomhanks1769]

Damn, Radical Larry still as radical as ever.

[@ParkorEnderman]

As for the last data expunged bit, I believe its inferred that some subjects will be "released" by 106 but decayed and rusted for lack of a better term. The image of a deceased field agent on the document is a good example of this, save for the nightmare fuel it gives.

[@thesidneychan]

I think we owe it to the Containment Breach game for making SCPs like the Old Man to be considered classic.

[@ambroseshelton5928]

WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE POCKET DIMENSION WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mr.universe8253]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ultralaggerREV1]

Does anyone notice weird looping on the video? He repeated the same thing like 3 times here 3:49

[@mattduplex6854]

Glad to see you're still covering the classics they deserve a visit from time to time to time

[@zedbags]

Good ol Radical Larry

[@ajmeyers5661]

Dr Gears's 106 is like an evil god that humans fear getting on the bad side of. Pretty dark stuff, to reimagine blood sacrifices of the past with a modern day twist. Good entry, Dr Gears!

[@Sam-xq8lo]

I love how containment procedures comprise more than half the article. You know it's been trial and error for the foundation in just finding an adequate enough method of slowing 106. There is no stopping him, just a matter of adding minor inconvenience to ensure less casualties and damage to the facility when he inevitably breaks containment.

[@Sebboebbo]

Da king is back baby he neva miss

[@XmortoxX1990]

An all time classic. You made a very scary old man

[@weroleoify]

Im so happy he left one of the most known scp's for his later videos. We desperately need a remaster of old scp videos like "Makers of music"

[@twiningsirishbreakfasttea3826]

you know an entity truly deserves the Keter designation when the portion of the entry detailing containment procedures takes up half of the video’s runtime and went through two separate reevaluations because the fucker just keeps getting out

[@budgetbiker26]

6:12 the old man looks like he's doing a 'better call saul' glow up in this shot of him.

[@davidsneary8681]

My favorite SCP uncle Larry. Dr David O5 lead researcher.

[@1xivix]

One my favorite scp's. Your presentation is straight forward and true to the original file.

[@SirSadness]

A classic! This is one of the ones that introduced me to SCP.

[@kingwolfgang]

"How do we stop a containment breach boss? "Put a crippled child in there, that seems to work!"

[@genericfilth]

I'm still hoping that one day you'll cover SCP-5000, I think it would be spectacular in audio form

[@carsilk2492]

I thought I remembered hearing that the Old Man is an ex-SCP researcher who was working on reality anchors when there was an accident, and it left him slowly devolving in the pocket dimension (where time moved really slowly) until he eventually became this end result. I could be tripping though because this shit is all crazy.

[@dod_the_angel]

Yeah. That's the tale 'Until Death' where 106 is presented as being Dr Robert Scranton (inventor of the Reality Anchor) after he escaped 3001. I don't personally subscribe to that theory though

[@michaelhubbard5013]

the first 100 or so hit different.

[@LimyTheFox]

I liked how there was a bit of a paragraph on the right hand side of the screen, scrolling down. Maybe it could be like that, but with each procedure/section to be all there, and just highlighting more than the next/previous sections.

[@Mochi_Madness87]

Ah yes, melty grandpa. A classic.

[@Lunar994]

Honestly, out of all the murder monsters Series 1 had to offer, this one I find the creepiest.

[@Michaeljack81sk]

The way security kept getting upgraded after each breach reminded me of Guybrush and the Cannibals in "The Secret of Monkey Island"

[@armandowillem]

Me in the back row of the auditorium asleep, till Dr. Millar names SCP 106 *wakes up*: "The answer is FIRE! KILL IT WITH FIRE!"

[@asurlybarber3620]

This is like some Star Wars lore channel only just now talking about Jango Fett after 10 years.

[@bricknolty5478]

I *really* like the new new slideshow style text box vs the old text crawl! I could never help keep myself from reading too far ahead, hitting the end of the screen, and skipping ahead. I'd feel bad for skipping the cinematic VO, but be too interested in the entey to slow down. I'm not doing that with the new style, so thank you 😂

[@atheld8124]

“Beat the living daylights out of someone with their whole life ahead of them in order to bait this thing back into “sleep” mode. Feel free to use more than one lucky person.”

[@HazelVsTheWrld]

All the classic SCPs are golden. Rarely do you see a keter class SCP now days be something other than some unbeatable god.

[@billheathcock]

Ty for posting, i will be saving this for my before bed treat tonight. But i swear that looks just like my grandfather. 😸

[@ArDeeMee]

Dun-dun-dunnn. =D

[@billheathcock]

@@ArDeeMee funny part... I was not joking in the least, he was a very small, skinny, dark skinned Hawaiian with a very evil smile, a nice guy really but LOOKED spooky.

[@double_chomps]

My man's been at this for years and is only now talking about 106

[@Hawlk12]

You can clearly see the immense difference from root scp to modern scp. This is so seriously written and enigmatic that modern scp looks childish and over written to get the origin story power scaling drilled into your head. This is the type of scp I fell for and I'm honestly distraught at what the community is becoming since Dr bright

[@PoisonedAl]

"The Old Man" huh?... It's Larry! His name is Radical Larry! We all know it!

[@rougenarwhal8378]

"GET OFF OF MY YARD YOUNG PEOPLE" *crying* "WE DON'T KNOW HOW!!!"
