Shout Out / SCP Foundation

SCPs

• Based on the clues we can infer around the black boxes in this proposal for SCP-001 we can infer that the movie script they changed was The Matrix, and that the author they tried to kill was Stephen King. The King book that most closely matches the revelation that the SCP universe is a fictional construction controlled by horror writers in another universe is, of course, The Dark Tower. In that series (major Dark Tower plot spoilers), King's characters are real but he doesn't know that, and they have to prevent his death to save the universe from destruction. However, it's implied that King does not create the universes he writes - he is just a messenger for a higher power. If we extend this to the SCP universe...
• The revised version of Keter Duty, by Ihp and S.D. Locke, contains a few major references, notably the manifestation of "guardian entities" being dubbed Hirose Events and the final containment procedure in the light version beginning with the words "At the end of everything, we hold on to anything."
• SCP-009 is a form of H₂O that transmits its anomalous phase transition properties to any normal water it comes into contact with. Ice-Nine, featured in Cat's Cradle, is also a form of H₂O that transmits its anomalous phase transition properties to any normal water it comes into contact with, causing The End of the World as We Know It.
• SCP-023 is an SCP-ified version of the Black Shuck, a Hell Hound from British folklore.
• SCP-026 very closely follows the plot of the Goosebumps book, The Haunted School.
• SCP-029's story, involving the Thuggee cult, sounds like as if she came straight from either Indiana Jones or Gunga Din.
• SCP-099 is a portrait that causes people who view it to suffer delusions that anything with eyes (and sometimes even things without eyes in extreme cases) are staring at them. This SCP seems to be a reference to Nikolai Gogol's short story The Portrait.
• SCP-120 is a wormhole that looks like water, protected and maintained by a task force called "SG-1 Puddle jumpers".
• SCP-149 is a mosquito that turns people it infects into swarms of mosquitoes. Something similar bit Teal'c in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Bane".
• While testing out SCP-197, "The Greenhouse", tests on carnivorous plants were called "Project Seymour".
• "Speed is key. You have to neutralize SCP-204-1 quickly, because it can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. If given the chance, SCP-204-1 will quite literally devour you."
• The effects of SCP-217 bear a lot of similarities to the premise of Tetsuo: The Iron Man.
• SCP-239 (named Sigurros Stefánsdóttir):
  Butterflies? [Manic laughter] Konny, you Magnificent Bastard! I've read your...
  [Another male voice is heard saying, "Smile you sonovabitch!".]
  • Another:
    Clef: Do you watch cartoons, Kondraki? You should check out this show called Gargoyles, I think you'd like it... ^note (...which actually directed to this page.)
  • And another:
    SCP-239: I cast Magic Missile!
• SCP-261's experiment log has many (a few of the below are in previous versions).
  • One of the things the vending machine gives out happening to be a bottle of Nuka-Cola.
  • Single-serving containers of "Insta-Mash", both pre- and post-war versions.
  • Another test result yields "Mr. Q's Cumbersome Soda Bottle". It's a bottle of soda featuring a stopper that interrupts the flow of soda if the bottle is not held at the proper angle. In other words, a Ramune bottle.
  • A package of "Bertie Botts Amusing Everycolor Beans".
  • A "Snapple", an apple with a core of tin.
  • A "Hitchhiker's Meal", which contains a Babel Fish and a drink that tastes "almost, yet not quite, entirely unlike tea."
    • Also, putting ¥42 in the machine while unpowered and pressing all the buttons at once made it dispense a meal voucher with the words "We Apologize For The Inconvenience" printed on the back.
  • "Dante's". 750g package of biscuits with nine distinct circular, concentric layers. Packaging claims that contents "Taste like Hell!"
  • ¥1,999 gives a Prince party drink.
  • Thiotimoline cookies, the taste of which is felt before you eat them.
  • A slice of cake named "Taste Me", which made the one eating it grow (and then die)
  • A packet of powder that, when emptied into a liter of water, turns it into 1.5 liters of less tasty water.
  • A cup of tea, Earl Grey, hot which could only be referred to as such.
  • A "heart-shaped locket" made of dark chocolate which cause the one to eat it to gain the mind of a 10-year-old.
  • ¥9,001 produced "Kaka Karrot Kakes". A box of carrot cakes that, upon being opened, produces a shout of "It's over 9,000!"
  • A cloth pouch labeled "Bertie Bott's Every-Flavor Beans".
  • A pack of baseball trading cards featuring the "Yokohama DeNA Joestars".
  • A bag of "Uncle Slaanesh's Candy Nipples", containing a winning mail-in coupon for a free "Warcooks of Auntie Slaanesh" model set.
  • A bag of candies in various shapes that let you manipulate time in various ways dependent on the shape. The mascot is a cat with goggles and a jacket.
• Although it manifests as a different model, SCP-265 is a Polish rendition of The Car, mixed with elements of the "Black Volga" urban legend of the Soviet Union.
• SCP-354 once produced what was described as a Terminator.
• From SCP-507's adventures, Q56-DRU-865 is hopefully not one of these to Saya no Uta. If it is... Fridge Horror.
• Task Force Lambda-4, tasked with monitoring SCP-514, are dead serious about children's card games.
• SCP-523, an item that will switch forms when unobserved for any period of time in a situation in which its original form would have been useful, once switched from a pistol into a ring of keys.
• SCP-529 is the cat from The Salmon of Doubt.
• SCP-540 is clearly an arsenal of Reset Bombs.
• SCP-607 is a gray cat that has any misfortune inflicted onto it transferred to its current owner.
• One Genre Savvy D-Class personnel used misdirection to prevent SCP-645 from biting his hand off. He reveals that he learned this from Roman Holiday.
• SCP-665 is a Katamari humanoid.
• SCP-668 was inspired by the the murder of Kitty Genovese.
• SCP-674's anomalous properties were revealed when its original owner idly fired it at the screen during "Yakko's World". It was also used extensively on Star Trek: The Original Series, but Kirk consistently avoided death, instead taking down Red Shirt after Red Shirt.
• SCP-701, "The Hanged King's Tragedy" takes quite a few inspirations from The King in Yellow.
• SCP-726 features creatures behaving like flies, and to drive the point home, one of those is nicknamed by the researcher as "Brundle".
• SCP-750, a group of 24 contact lenses that causes the wearer to forever see the world through Gorn-o-vision, with their other senses also effected, is confirmed by the writer to be inspired by Saya no Uta (wherein the protagonist, Fuminori Sakisaka, suffers from a form of Agnosia with extremely similar symptoms) and Franken Fran.
• The experiment logs of SCP-914 are full of it.
  • Once they tested Half-Life. The output on Fine produced an updated version with improved graphics.
  • Another test involved Glock 17s. On the Very Fine setting, a blaster from Star Wars. The same researcher then tried to use swords to make a lightsaber.
  • Once an arrow on Very Fine results in a metal one, the researcher is reminded of something and puts it back with a page of Guardians of the Galaxy. The result is a fully-working replica of Yondu's one!
  • Putting a container full of tears and a child-shaped doll into the machine on Very Fine resulted in a wide-eyed doll capable of shooting tears from its eyes.
  • A test log straight-up namedrops Doki Doki Literature Club!, with the conducting researcher looking to see if it can be used to bring Monika into reality. The Very Fine setting's output is expunged, but seems to have been a success...only to be terminated after breaching the walls of 914's containment.
  • Test 0448 uses the Colin Baker-era Doctor Who DVDs. 1:1 gives an identical set with the Doctor wearing his Big Finish blue coat, but Very Fine results in the Sixth Doctor himself! Unfortunately, he ends up going through his post-regeneration phase, which gets as far as attempting to suffocate a researcher before being shot, then terminated during regeneration, then incinerated.
  • Test 0909 uses several Transformers-themed USB drives that look like Ravage as input material, with the Very Fine setting bringing the Decepticon to life. These thumb drives actually exist, though the ones in the test log have quadruple the storage capacity of the real thing.
  • Test 914-1099 has a paper note with the text "What is humour?" written on it put in on Fine. When it came out, the note read "Weedeater".
  • Test 914-0755 is apparently carried out by a huge Destiny nerd, who creates both a fully functional Ghost and an AI based on Cayde-6.
• The two debaters who appear in SCP-946 are named "Harmon" and "Garcian".
• "Following the unfortunate, and completely preventable, death of Agent Gallagher" at the hands of SCP-953, any personnel found to have current or prior ties to the "furry" or "otaku" communities are to be immediately reassigned to other projects."
• SCP-978 is a Polaroid version of the Mexican magic realism camera from Achewood.
• SCP-993 is very reminiscent of the titular monster of IT, and not just for the obvious reason. 993 is also an Eldritch Abomination that instigates acts of violence among humans during its active periods. It's also quite Harmful to Minors, albeit from a different angle.
• SCP-1179: Apparently the eternally-burning fire in the coal mines of Centralia was caused when miners Dug Too Deep and awoke a sleeping Fire Demon.
  • According to the writer this actually wasn't the Balrog. It was, however, based off the same myths and legends as the Balrog. So, in a meta-sense, it's effectively the Balrog's cousin.
• SCP-1230 bears a striking resemblance to the in-universe book "The Neverending Story".
• SCP-1237 is George Orr from The Lathe of Heaven.
• SCP-1265 contains evolved dinosaurs and is in the Congo, and seems to greatly resemble The Lost World. In addition, when the SCP team runs into a dilophosaurus, this is written down:
  Dr. Moore has apparently never seen a ''Dilophosaurus'' outside of a certain movie...
  • The expedition notes also refer to the spikes at the end of a stegosaurid's tail as "thagomizers". That is what paleontologists actually call them.
  • In the last expedition the team encounters a (non-kaiju) Baragon. No-one on the team has any idea what they're looking at, and the big floppy ears especially confuse them.
• SCP-1372 is a SCP-ified version of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (mainly in the compulsion to tell others about it).
  • It may also be a reference to the Pirates of the Caribbean series, considering that the hapless ships' crews turn into undead pirates after crossing the end of the world.
• Subverted with SCP-1373, which are sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their frickin' heads, as the author claims to have never watched the Austin Powers movies at the time of writing and the resemblance is completely unintentional. What is intentional is that they're watched by an MTF codenamed "The Bigger Boat".
• The extended testing log of SCP-1459 has a few termination methods clearly inspired by various works of fiction, helped by the fact that it accepts work titles as termination methods and comes up with creative kill methods from there. Just to name a few:
  • "I like trains" results in a train running the puppy over at high speed.
  • "Rage" results in a second puppy that hulks out and kills the first.
  • At least two tests involve Mortal Kombat Fatalities.
  • "Galeem" and "Dharkon" result in shot-for-shot remakes of the bad endings of World of Light.
• SCP-1502, a small robot which walks around and mutilates people's faces, doubles as an in-universe one since it winds up making its victims resemble the appearance of Mr. Feeny and it only identifies as/speaks by playing recordings of Shawn Hunter.
• SCP-1503 may be a reference to 400 Years.
• SCP-1523, a incense coil that when burning becomes sentient. In the first interview log with it, the security officer asks SCP-1523 to sing "Let's Stay Together," a song which SCP- 1523 performed in concert many times. In response, SCP-1523 plays a completely different song with most lines consisting of the phrase "there is power in the blood."
• Quite a few SCPs reference They Might Be Giants, with one of the more obvious ones being SCP-1559, "Birdsoul in Your House", and Snail Shell is referenced in Where's the Shadow Government When You Need Them? Both of these, and more that reference TMBG, are written by the same person, so it's a clear case of Author Appeal.
• SCP-1610:
  Prometheus Labs researcher: Well, that's one batch of clones wasted and one "Bring Your Daughter to Work" day that shan't be forgotten. All gamma Z-Subjects have been incinerated.
  • A man is also named "Johnson" in there... and he seems to match Cave Johnson's attitudes.
• "UnLondon":
  • The city is pretty much a Victorian Steampunk Rapture, complete with derelict vending machines and endlessly repeating phantom loudspeaker announcements.
  • The name is also taken from Un Lun Dun.
• SCP-1692 is named "Came Back Haunted".
• The phrase "Shakes me, makes me lighter" repeated in SCP-1782 is a shout-out to the lyrics from "Teardrop" from Mezzanine by Massive Attack (AKA the opening credits music for House). Doubles as a Genius Bonus considering the music video of that song and the nature of SCP-1782.
• SCP-1881 is a shout-out to Polybius, a(n urban) legendary arcade game has a strange psychological effect on players; additionally its stages are modeled after actual classic games:
  • The "spaceship" stage, could be one of several early Shoot 'Em Up games.
  • The Maze stage has the player collecting "golds" in a maze while avoiding enemies.
  • The "Lines" stage involves moving lines to surround bouncing balls.
  • The "Jungle" stage features a human traveling through a jungle environment with themed enemies. It is most likely a shout out to Pitfall!.
• SCP-1903 causes people to "grow" paper mâché animal masks and ears, although—
  Once subjects have found these ears, they will show reluctance to taking them off
• SCP-1936: In the middle of a weird prophecy, there is this: "Sheogorath remains, ruling his kingdom of two faces before he himself brings its downfall (...)", which is basically the plot of Shivering Isles, name and all.
• SCP-1981, or "Ronald Reagan Cut Up While Talking", is a shout out to Godspeed You! Black Emperor's "George Bush Cut Up While Talking."
• SCP-1983 and its inhabitants are the final level End of the World from Kingdom Hearts, and The Heartless.
• SCP-1986 is a seemingly infinite library with most of the books being nonsensical. Lampshaded in-universe.

• SCP-2222 has a Word Purée Title inspired by Aphex Twin, to the point one of the words is one AT song: "Meschk-Mernanschordbtoum-VordhosbnV7."
• SCP-2223's "A Certain Mathematical Conjecture" is a reference to A Certain Magical Index.
• SCP-2338-22 is described as a child dressed as a turquoise platypus in a khaki-colored trilby hat.
• SCP-2360 are sentient automobiles from another universe. The title, "Carmageddon", is invoked when one said car says he earned money by running over people.
• SCP-2400 is basically the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
• SCP-2501 is a mechanical version of "The Headcrusher" from Kids in the Hall, just played for horror rather than comedy.
• SCP-2511 is a colony of kappas (they even use the same picture!) that spontaneously relocated to Mongolia because enough people trusted Prof. Snape's information and didn't read the correct information and Call-Back in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
• SCP-2516 is the Urban Legend of "The Man from Taured", an inadvertent Dimensional Traveller detained in Paris International Airport with a passport from "Taured", a supposed country landlocked between France and Spain's borders. Passing away after years in the Foundation's custody, his cremated ashes were sent in a cart down the train tunnel they believed might've been his portal between their timelines, hoping he could be laid to rest in Taured. After that, a cart with a different urn returned through, this one's note requesting burial in the Principality of Andorra.
• SCP-2600 is an Atari 2600 connected to 8 anomalous televisions. The addenda note that the project behind its creation was titled "STELLA", a codename for the system and the name of one of the more well-known 2600 emulators for PC. Also a reference to Game Theory, which hypothesized a connection between Atari and the CIA's MK-ULTRA program.
• SCP-2720 is an homage to the author's favorite anime Love Live! Sunshine!!.
• One of the pieces of debris surrounding SCP-2722 is a cargo manifest for a shipment containing food for dextro-amino acid-based lifeforms.
• SCP-2570 is named "MCA and Heartbreak", as it revolves around both Beastie Boys (namely, the deceased Adam "MCA" Yauch) and Kanye West (who has an album named 808 & Heartbreaks). And the article itself includes the task forces The Ungrateful Dead and Kenny Rogers Roaster, and a couple named Tricia and Arthur Prefect (the former's maiden name is Jeltz) being interviewed by Agent Douglas Fook.
• SCP-2981 is a bowl of mashed potatoes that can make people think it's a human being. The title? "Mashed Potatoes Can Be Your Friends"!'
  • The same author also had another song-named SCP, 2288 ("Copy of A") and one whose title invokes Futurama, SCP-2053 ("REMEMBER ME").
• When SCP-3090 is killed in a game of Tetris, her body disappears and is replaced with Document 3090-B and Document 3090-C. Document 3090-C is a non-anomalous Game Stop Powerup Pro card with “Super High School Level” written at the top.
• SCP-3166 seems to be a tribute to Lasagna Cat, which itself is a tribute to Garfield.
• SCP-3256 focuses on the anomalous M.O. of a serial killer with heavy spider motifs, known as the Brockton Bay Binder.
• SCP-3885 is basically a community ripped right out of Mad Max, but in this case, it realistically shows what happens when a bunch of mutated scavengers with more muscles (and limbs) than brains try to make giant, souped-up desert rigs out of stolen trucks: namely, lots of explosions.
• SCP-3952 is a biplane piloted by an aerial ace dog.
• SCP-3999 is arguably Reference Overdosed. The very second line references the Eleven-Day Empire. One of the containment procedures listed says SCP-3999 is to be contained via Mr. and Mrs. Dursley. Another part of the containment procedures paraphrases the song "Penny Lane" by The Beatles. In the description section, SCP-3999 is listed as (among other things) being the concept of The Grinch, every word spoken by AM in I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream and the documentary Nanook of the North.
• The title of SCP-4016 is "Of Mice and Twine."
• SCP-4413 is a Whole-Plot Reference to Homestuck.
• In SCP-4444, when the Foundation is trying to come up with Conspiracy Theories to leak so as to discredit Gore, spreading a rumor (which is codenamed "Porky") about Gore having sex with a pig is briefly proposed.
  • The potential rumor involving Gore believing that he has communicated with an alien is codenamed "Star Wars".
• SCP-4481 was inspired by a video by Sam O'Nella Academy mentioning how a scrapped publicity stunt almost left Big Bird as a casualty of "the single worst astronautical disaster in history."
• SCP-4503 is Strega Nona's magical cookware. In fact, its depiction in the entry is exactly what happens in the book: someone started the pot and forgot the stop command, causing it to smother the entire place with delicious pasta.
• SCP-4755 is the concept of containment, which the Foundation will eventually make the ultimate purpose of all human thought, and the index title is "When We Are Omnipotent". In other words: If you want a picture of the future, imagine a 5 m x 5 m x 5 m cell containing the human spirit - for ever.
• The incident report for SCP-4950 involves a field agent who used to be in IT and is trained in the occult intervening in a cult's attempt to summon something that rests in the fold between gray goo scenario and eldritch abomination, all the while lamenting about the cult's "poorly optimized" summoning circle. The agent is one Robert Howard.
  • invoked According to the Foundation, their current investigations into other cults using Fortnite and other video games to summon gods & demons is based around the memetic phrase "Press F to pay respects."
  • The title of the article - "Triple Six Five Forked Tongue" - comes from the song "Takyon" by Death Grips.
  • It's mentioned that the People of the Lie were previously able to summon an actual demon when the "ritual" in question was just them playing Warhammer 40,000.
• The second part of the title for SCP-4960 is an obvious reference to Dr. Strangelove. Additionally, Kedesh-Nanaya's deep slumber when Procedure 166-Anahita isn't active is more than a little reminiscent of Sleeping Beauty.
• SCP-5010 is a Little Old Lady Investigates style detective who anomalously either detects and seeks out or causes murder mysteries that fit the conventions of that genre in order to solve them. The page title is Murder, She [Redacted] and the agents and witnesses who appear in the article are named after fictional detectives and mystery writers except for one individual with the surname Butler.
• When Senior Researcher Huxtable are selecting music to help relieve SCP-5031's stress levels, "The Best of ..." albums concerning KISS, Ben Folds, Enya, Jethro Tull, and Mozart are all chosen.
• SCP-5342 is County Midsomer.
• SCP-5420 is inspired by Space: 1999, with elements such as the NASA designation of the anomaly (Meta), character names (Paul, Alan, John Koenig), down to the yellow-orange color space suits being outright references to the show.
• The index title for SCP-5555, a world where the ones in charge continuously destroy and rebuild reality to see how the new world turns out in comparison to the old, is Made in Heaven.
• The index title for SCP-5945 makes sure you are reminded that History is Filled With Liars.
• SCP-6085 is the comic book featured in the music video for "Take On Me".
• SCP-6252 is loaded with shout-outs to Super Mario Bros.
• When rebranding SCP-6930's streaming profile, the researchers suggest the new name of "Claire Cloverfield".

• The log of anomalous items includes:
  • A spear that, when thrown, pierces the heart of the nearest humanoid and extends several spikes from its blade afterward. Unfortunately, "the nearest humanoid" is typically the person who threw it.

• This line in Where They Kept Their Copies is a reference to The Oprah Winfrey Show.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please check below your seats!"

Joke entries

• SCP-001-J is a big, red, shiny, candy-like button that could potentially destroy all reality if pressed.
• SCP-80s-J is a parody of 80s kid flicks, and it has this conversation.
  D-9 Harris: I don't understand a word you're saying, but I believe you. You kids keep an eye out now, there's strange things lurking around here.
  SCP-80s-3-J-: Stranger things?
• SCP-1417-J ("Passive-Aggressive Meteorite"). During Emergency Procedure 1634-Broadway, after Dr. Anderson whips off his glasses he says "Mother of God", a reference to the "Mother of God" meme.
• The researchers vaporized by SCP-2006-J are Doctors Tsukino and Kinomoto.
• SCP-2008-J is quite obviously the Phillie Phanatic, Mascot of the Philadelphia Phillies Baseball Team.
• "The Things Dr. Bright Is No Longer Allowed To Do At The Foundation" is about 50% this:
  4) SCP-018 is not to be taunted!
  7) While it is true that "No one expects the SCP Inquisition" it is only because there is no such thing
  25) Not allowed to end reports with lyrics from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
  72) Dr. Bright is no longer allowed to offer the solution of "Use more guns" to any problem.
  73) Despite what he may say and any evidence, no matter how plausible, the SCP Foundation has never and will never be associated with Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and regardless of what Dr. Bright may say, he is not, and I quote, "A real life wizarding tutor"
  77) Cthulhu and R'lyeh are not valid reasons to send Pandora's Box to the Pacific Ocean in order to capture them. Furthermore, these are not even SCPs, and I will find the person who decided enter a database file for them.
  84) Dr. Bright cannot change the standard issue D-Class uniform to black pants with a red polo shirt.
  87.1) If Dr. Bright is found deliberately getting high to get out of paperwork, he is to be placed in a Type 4 cell and hosed down with cold water from a pressurised hose for no less than 5 minutes. Maybe this will teach you that drugs are bad, m'kay?
  93) Just because Bright is a doctor does not mean that he is the Doctor, no matter how many British men he possesses.
  144) Dr. Bright does not possess "the 7th Element of Harmony".
  153) Dr. Bright is no longer allowed to produce, create or remind staff of "SCP Robot Wars".
  169) Nobody ever refers to Dr. Bright as "Tim" and he is no longer allowed to introduce new personnel to SCP-524.
  172) SCP-963 is not a "Millennium" item.
  196) SCP-963 is not a 'soul gem', and despite what he might say, making a contract with Dr. Bright will not turn you into a 'magical girl'.
  196.1) Not even if he includes a 'magical girl outfit'.
  270) Dr. Bright is not "Troll Jegus", no matter how much candy corn he steals!
  • Of course, this entire entry is one big Shout-Out to Skippy's List.
• SCP-K9-J-EX is essentially an episode of Scooby-Doo.
  "Rooby rooby [REDACTED]"
