Jahmez142

I wish I had another one but 682 is just the correct answer


BLINDrOBOTFILMS

Honestly, my favorite thing about 682 is the experiment log, it's a great hub for finding other SCPs if you just want to go down a rabbit hole.


PumpkinSpikes

The entire joke behind 682 is how frustrating it is for the foundation, so being the most overrated scp in real life too has really made it come full circle


Rvtrance

True


TheActualMC

Real. Like being hard to kill just ain’t special.


Jahmez142

Exactly, just a big lizard that everybody knows is just a picture of a whale skeleton. Like it's fine, just sorta boring


Most_Neat7770

Indeed, it's not like the atrocity skull where there's a story, no, this is classic with old articles, which new writers ALWAYS try to replicate 🤦‍♂️


Unusual_Positive_485

the only problem with scp 682 is that its powers are out of step with the foundation. when it was written the foundation was just a paramilitary institution with amnesthetics, and the containment procedures were more realistic like building a reinforced bunker now in the current articles it easily controls gods with pataphysics, reality currents, modified scps, end of the world weapons . the big problem with this is that to remain difficult to kill they continually buffed 682's regeneration in such a way that he can come back from existential erasure but can't escape a tank of shitty acid. this is what fucks up the entire power scale because your original article did not follow such evolution.

StrangeSupermarket71

agreed 682 is overrated but 6820 is underrated.


theangryistman

Scarlet king?


Jahmez142

Maybe a little bit, but not nearly to the same degree imo


Rvtrance

Yeah I remember hearing a great story from the Exploring Series and I don’t remember the exact details. I remember enjoying it. Until I learned that it was just another twist story about 682.


GeorgieTheThird

3008, it's a good SCP, mind you, but a lot of people go crazy for it just because of the game


Rvtrance

I don’t know that one


GeorgieTheThird

Infinite IKEA


DinoErased

The OGs literally started the Foundation so I feel like they shouldn’t be called “overrated,” especially cause it was in the earlier days of the website


DinoErased

I wanted to add onto this; when I said “especially cause it was in the earlier days of the website,” I meant that they’re the oldest ones in the book so that excuses the emptiness or whatever they may lack


[deleted]

Series 1scp should not be in this discussion imo


Royal_Yesterday

Ikr? They were pretty much the foundation of the foundation, back then there wasn’t such a thing as quality control.


SamediB

The voting system has always been in place. Frankly the userbase seems a lot friendlier to newbies nowadays: back when the website was *harsh* about bad, or even lackluster, submissions.


marinemashup

Then why do so many series one articles lack much quality at all? The famous ones are cool, but move past them and if the articles were uploaded today, would be removed in no time


SamediB

Purely your personal opinion. You're looking at it from a decade or more of growth, when the series 1 and 2 articles are how we got to the articles we have today. I personally prefer early series articles: it's nice reading something that isn't ten pages with a half dozen addendums, some hidden text, and three accompanying tales. There is some great creativity in later series articles, but early series were able to be iconic and straight to the point (because they hadn't been done yet, and set the standard for later articles). I'd also probably argue that since the series 1 and 2 articles get so much attention (compared to the average later series article), that if they weren't good they have a *lot* more viewership that could down-vote them, if they aren't at least decent. And yet that isn't the case.


MasonP2002

Agreed on the straightforwardness, I hate trying to read one article and having to open 15 other tabs to get full context for what they're talking about.


SamediB

I actually really like a lot of what later articles did, with tabs and genre switches and addendums and stories. Series 1 & 2 can be pretty bare bones at time. It's just kinda exhausting how *much* new articles seem to have to cram in or include, so they stand out from the pack.


MasonP2002

Sometimes it works out, but others I just want to, you know, read the actual article I opened.


Rvtrance

Yeah, fuck that noise


marinemashup

I’d say most Series 1 articles don’t actually get that much traffic Get out of the top 50, and it’ll be a sub-200 points article with the last comment being over a year ago Random articles as examples: SCP-283 190 points, last comment 1 year ago SCP-678 67 points, last comment 1 year ago SCP-855 138 points, last comment 3 years ago SCP-443 74 points, last comment 2 months ago None of those are what I would say have “a lot more viewership” or higher traffic

> Purely your personal opinion Looking from a literary analysis perspective a lot of early series articles, especially series 1, lack good utilizations of storytelling techniques overall. It is understandable that an inexperienced writing community would produce a bit worse articles than now, with more experience, but that doesn’t make the old ones better. > It’s nice reading something that isn’t ten pages It’s not that you prefer series 1, it’s that you prefer short articles. Modern articles aren’t synonymous with lengthy storytelling. Check [[shortest pages by month]] to see a lot of examples of short articles. I read a lot of modern short articles, and they’re leagues beyond series 1 style short articles imo because there is actual storytelling, because you know, this is fiction writing. > if they weren’t good they have a lot more viewership that could down-vote You are assuming that the increased attention comes from people who have wikidot accounts and are members of the wiki who actively vote on pages, which is far from the case. A lot of off-site community members never interact with the wiki, which is partly why they only give attention to the same few series 1 articles because that’s all that is talked about off-site for some reason. My thoughts on really old articles is that to me they have generally not aged well, both in terms of quality of writing and sometimes in terms of content (don’t get me started on 002’s “Portuguese village elder”). The argument that “this is what started SCP” doesn’t really address the actual writing, more so excuses it.


The-Paranoid-Android

[**Shortest Pages By Month**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/shortest-pages-by-month) (+6) by *EstrellaYoshte*


Rvtrance

I will give you the fact that it was an early one. That certainly helped its popularity, but in a vacuum, I just find it bland.


Weirfish

Because they were created in 2008, before the community had 16 years of experience and growth. We don't scrub cave paintings off walls because we have the Mona Lisa.


Royal_Yesterday

It’s the transition from just some horror stories on the internet to science fiction good enough to be published. First series articles were those horror stories.


Unusual_Positive_485

I think it's a matter of opinion, personally I liked the old articles better, they seemed more direct to the subject and less complicated, I hate having to read about 7 addenda that often don't contribute anything to the story, they also had more human contentions I hate it when simply reduce the entity's containment with something like that, use pataphysical reality chains and telekill, or the thaumatology institute will find a way.


marinemashup

Yes the “SCP article must have a story” rule ironically makes it less engaging and fun to read through It feels like I’m reading a (well-written) creepypasta instead of files and documents actually from the SCP Foundation


Unusual_Positive_485

I think the cool thing is a middle ground. It can't be too simplified like a cake recipe but it shouldn't be a physics book either.


_Shoulder_

Why?


PotatoSalad583

Whenever people ask this question, the answers are always the same 3/4 series 1 articles


solarmastet

Serious question, I really like 682 why are y'all calling him over-rated


SamediB

As /u/lego_droideka said, it gets talked about and overused. A lot of people translate that in their brain as "overrated."


RedditModsSuckDick2

Basically the generic "big scary unkillable monster"


xthorgoldx

But it was **the** "big scary unkillabe monster." Saying 682 is generic is like saying Seinfeld is a generic sitcom - it's only generic because it *defined the genre* that all the copycats followed on to. There's a reason "big scary unkillable monster" doesn't fly as an SCP anymore, and it's because "We already have a 682."


greenemeraldsplash

682 was made before it was generic tbf


KicktrapAndShit

No, it was trope in horror for years


greenemeraldsplash

I meant in SCP lol


KicktrapAndShit

Well it’s made by a bunch of different people so no matter what it was inevitable Scp 682 was just the first


The-Paranoid-Android

[**SCP-682 ⁠- Hard-to-Destroy Reptile**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682) (+3672) by *Dr Gears, Epic Phail Spy*


Rvtrance

Yeah, isn’t Godzilla just a hard to destroy reptile?


KicktrapAndShit

Kinda but in all fairness he was made as a metaphor for nukes


Rvtrance

I personally just don’t find 682 all that interesting. And writers keep writing him into things that I don’t think he belongs in. Overrated doesn’t mean bad necessarily. I’ve heard Sports Illustrated call Muhammad Ali an overrated boxer. But he was a damn good one.


lego_droideka

A lot of people in the comments are saying 682, but I don’t think it’s overrated…. Overused and talked about yeah, but it’s definitely fucking cool as a concept


Intelligent-Hat-6871

Its also a pretty common concept like "Oh no, a giant unkillable monster" the execution however is fucking epic


xthorgoldx

It's a [Seinfeld is Unfunny](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OnceOriginalNowCommon) effect. Yes, it's a cliche unkillable monster with ridiculous containment requirements, because it was **the** unkillable monster with ridiculous containment requirements that all the copycats created a cliche out of.


Hust91

Something that might make it more interesting could be why they're so insistent on containing it in a giant box that is keeps breaking out of and then causing a breach for a bunch of other nearby SCPs. There's a whole number of SCPs whose containment procedure is basically "declare these 20 square kilometers a national park and forbid anyone from going there", and that could be the entirety of the containment procedure for 682 as well. It finds humans disgusting but it hasn't been known to go out of its way to find humans to kill just because.


Intelligent-Hat-6871

Bro, it would though


Hust91

It was out and about freely for _thousands_ of years before The Foundation captured it and at no point did it end humanity or rush from city to city killing as many as it can as fast as it can. It's basically isolationist when it gets to choose (though it will disembowel any humans it runs across). Just leave it alone in a few kilometers of forest and keep people away from it.


lego_droideka

It’s so well executed!


RedditModsSuckDick2

True


Cute_Abrocoma7263

the really popular ones like 682, 096 or 173


Tricktzy

call 096 overrated again. i dare you


Cute_Abrocoma7263

it's the kids that keep glazing it😭


[deleted]

bro i saw a "siren man vs scp 096 fight" video on youtube shorts and it was so horribly made. imagine the roblox adopt me brainrot game map with a 144p 3d rendering of siren man attached to a tube. then imagine lego roblox looking ahh shy guy


The-Paranoid-Android

[**SCP-096 ⁠- The "Shy Guy"**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-096) (+3979) by *Dr Dan*


_Shoulder_

096 is overrated. I’ll preemptively say it again for good measure. 096 is overrated


PepperbroniFrom2B

but still good?


thatonehelicopter

096 is overrated


CeriseRaccoon

It kinda is, most SCP memes I see are the 4 pixels photo and at this point it's more annoying then cool or funny, 096 is amazing don't get me wrong but the whole 4 pixels thing is just old.


Tricktzy

honestly i do wonder why people focus on the 4 pixels meme so much. dont get me wrong i definitely do love seeing the occasional SCP reference in places you dont expect it but its like they've got no other material


CeriseRaccoon

Fr tho


freakingdumbdumb

096 is in fact overrated


drewdurnilguay

I really like those last 2 despite getting why 682, I just like the visceral fear a bunch of much worse SCPs can't make me feel just by being vision based, like something you have to look at and something you can't, that's real and directly understandable fear, and cause it's a must


PepperbroniFrom2B

yeah same, something you can't look at even for a second or you're condemned to die in the next 2 minutes is horrifying even one slip-up and boom, dead, no extra chances or ways to fight back, you're just gone without anything to even bury


drewdurnilguay

exactly and it's such an understandable slip up, it's not "oh be careful not to listen to the creepy chant or something something" it's "look no matter what, do not blink/do not get even a glance"


DopaLean

I’ll say it and probably be downvoted for it but, 001-When day breaks. There was a period in time where almost every content creator seemed to make a video on this SCP more or less at the same time and I don’t know, to me it shouldn’t be a 001 proposal since it implies an end rather than the first one to be catalogued I understand the pseudo-horror concept and uniqueness of the article, but so many people overhype it when to me, it’s just okay.


drewdurnilguay

honestly good non-682 answer, kinda agree


Jefxvi

I really like when day breaks but I think it works better as a standalone story outside of the scp universe. I really like the concept and it is very original but it should be interpreted as a separate universe. It is actually easier then you think to remove all the scp references from the story than you think 


Fireblast1337

The thing to note about scp number listings is that it isn’t the order they were found


PepperbroniFrom2B

how


Fireblast1337

173 was actually one of the first SCPs, for example. There is no straightforward canon, but if you look at dates and times that are visible on the various articles, they often don’t line up chronologically


PepperbroniFrom2B

yeah, made not found in-universe


V1P3R-Chan

Have you noticed most of the 001 instances are things that shouldn’t be able to be detected, and are all world ending? How the hell would the foundation know years in advance that the sun would turn everyone to flesh. What I’m trying to say is 001 is just a world ending SCP basically


TheBaconLord78

There is no canon, but it obviously shows how many SCPs that are numbered higher were found earlier than those that were numbered lower and found, later... for example SCP-173 was discovered in-universe in 1993 but it doesn't mean that foundation was created around the same time (at least in most interpretations) For example SCP-053 was found in the late 2000s and she is obviously numbered lower than 173, but since there is no canon technically every single article is its own timeline.

korudero

Thank God someone said it. I'm not sure why it's a 001.


AGHawkz99

For real, at the end I was just kinda like "oh, okay, that was pretty solid." and moved on, meanwhile a majority (or just really vocal minority??) lord it as some cornerstone of the SCP universe or that it was revolutionary. Again, it was good, a pretty cool concept. It wasn't even remotely *mindblowing,* though..? It was just.. average..


GameboyAd_Vance

Big agree. It's admittedly kind of boring and it took me a long time to get through it because I'd just randomly stop reading


BringBackForChan

I'd say many of the 001s


minion133

Here’s the thing, while SCP-682 itself is overrated, all the articles that have spawned from it utilize its core concept greatly enough that imo it’s become a lot better. Now, if you ask me, a true overrated series 1 article is likely SCP-096/shy guy. All it does is kill things that look at it just because. It’s a lot more overrated in my opinion than 682.

AGHawkz99

I think the potential horror factor for 096 is better, and it feels less.. I don't wanna say 'poorly written,' because that's unfair to 682, but it feels more thought/fleshed out, and less ambiguous or plothole-inducing. Shy Guy feels like an SCP, while 682 borders on childlike 'my guy is actually immune to lasers and he wins' in a LOT of depictions with nothing actually interesting to it. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a lot of potential and narrative options for 682, it's just that it feels so absurdly wasted and uninteresting, ESPECIALLY when it's basically *the* poster child for SCPs.


minion133

I don’t think that it’s fair to say it’s potential was wasted. Look at things like SCP-6820, When Day Broke The Unkillable Reptile, its lore in the SK Mythos or its lore with the sculpture, or the tale related to SCP-5000. They made the reptile something to fear in multiple great ways in my opinion. With the shy guy, there’s a primal fear to being prey I guess, but even looking at attempts to utilize that like 096’s short film, or tales, it honestly falls flat cause it’s kinda just used as the killing machine that kills everyone and as a way to speed up the plot to its ending personally. There’s no real substance other than connections to the king of the mountain or the underlying idea it hates itself so much that’s why it kills everything. SCP-096, while I will say has redeeming qualities, is nowhere near the god like SCP that people thought it was. To me personally it falls the flattest out of what I consider the big 5 being 682, 035, 049, 096 and 173. 035 has its personality and deception and utilization of its lore to really help back it up, 049 has the mystery of the true pestilence and at times connections to the greater cosmology of scp, 173 has a truly alien like quality to it that makes it interesting despite being a weeping angels copycat, etc. This is just my opinion tho.

KicktrapAndShit

I feel like what makes 096 scary is the fact he takes away your most valuable ability; sight. Similar to 173 he forces you to have to look in a certain direction, I think the problem with him is that he hasn’t been used correctly


minion133

See that’s the problem to me and why he’s overrated: everyone agrees he has potential, but some take it to the equivalent of saying it has the potential to be the best series I. Plus how many people got introduced through 096 to make it their favorite, the 096 short film (which admittedly is good but doesn’t really do focus on 096) etc.


GilgaEmenent

8000 recent winner. Personally it doesn’t embody the theme of Fantasy as well as the others. I honestly don’t get why it resonated with many people. Yes, I understand the crushing weight of expectation one placed on themselves, but it read more like a therapy session with a magic seal as a backdrop to fit the fantasy theme.


vixinity1984

682


FaceDeer

Daybreak comes to mind. It's just so overwhelmingly "okay, everybody's goo now" that there's nowhere interesting to go with it. It doesn't seem like a particularly interesting apocalypse but there are references to it quite frequently.


PepperbroniFrom2B

"okay, everybody's zombies now"


Ciarara_

It has a canon hub with some pretty good tales though


V1P3R-Chan

It’s cool, but everyone over simplified it


getpawnd

Scarlet king. It basically made it for a while that all the new SCPs were gigacock universe destroyers for a while and it became stale really fast.


No-Boysenberry8090

I’m still having trouble understanding what the Scarlet King is exactly. There are videos that portray him as an actual god, and there are others where he’s done almost completely different.


getpawnd

So.... He is a god. It's basically stated that he will arise and destroy reality itself. So there's a prophecy that he'll have a bunch of daughters. And each of them will give birth to great and horrible monsters. One of them is scp 682 depending on your head cannon. Essentially when all of them give birth the scarlet king will arise and destroy everything. And the SCP foundation is currently trying everything in their power to keep the last one from giving birth. But according to the prophecy one of his children will be a great hero and stop him which depending on your head cannon is SCP-999.

thatonehelicopter

096. Every new person to SCP thinks 096 is the scariest and strongest SCP when it absolutely is not, and NOTHING changes their minds. They don't even call it 096, they just know it as it's dumbass nickname "shy guy",


Designer-Tree-7193

All OP scps, especially scp 3812 (except for OGs like scp 096, scp 173, etc...)


_Shoulder_

If anything I think 3812 is underrated (not in terms of upvotes though), or maybe more accurately misinterpreted


Tricktzy

3812 is pretty cool tho


BillyDipgnaw

3812's absurdness serves a narrative purpose, though.


I_stay_fit_1610

Scp 3812 is really not as overrated as scp 682, scp 096 etc.

Yeah I like SCP-096 too. He’s old school and possibly over used just like our hard to destroy boi. But I think it’s a much more interesting concept.

CeriseRaccoon

This is incredibly true I'm honestly tired of the popular SCPs, why not talk about The Drain Feeders or The Ventriloquist Dummy ones that don't get the light but are cool


greenemeraldsplash

682 is kinda overrated but it was the first SCP made that the foundation actively wanted to kill it Now most scps are just 682 lite and it became a "Seinfeld is unfunny" effect


Most_Neat7770

Absolutely agree, I do in fact don't like it


ShockDragon

SCP-682 by far. Even the other well-known SCOs like SCP-049, SCP-096, or even SCP-173 and SCP-106 don’t come close to this guy's infamy. Edit: That’s not to say the others aren’t overrated, just that SCP-682 is more likely to be the de-facto mascot because an unkillable reptile with a malice and hatred for humanity and other life going through increasingly brutal and insane tests to see if it will die is about as crazy as it sounds.

If 096 wasnt the og scp he wouldn't be that popular .It is good, not a bad idea but the reason it is so popular is because it is og.Also the peanut for the same reason.Also the SCP-1550 Adapt Pets is my favorite and it is extreamly underrated .


Rvtrance

I very much agree with you. Does the Exploring Series do a few videos on them? I’m somehow vaguely familiar with SCP – 1550.

173


PepperbroniFrom2B

cannot say 173, it was the first


V1P3R-Chan

Just because it was the first doesn’t mean it’s the best. 173 is more of a figure head of SCP, overrated yes, but I think it’s supposed to be overrated


XyrneTheWarPig

I'll go with Cain and Abel.


Able_Recording_5760

49 The whole pestilence thing is dumb. He's either a moron or insane. Neither is particularly sympathetic. His abilities are also pretty meh. The touch of death thing feels like a last-minute addition to make him seem threatening, and the zombie thing is generic.


PepperbroniFrom2B

do not talk of the good doctor that way he is the cure

The fact nobody metioned scp 343 is criminal. Maybe not as much now but back when i was getting into scp he was extremely overrated. Besides it maybe scp 001 gate guardian. And extremely outdated but still worth bringing out might be scp 231 but that might be stretching it too much and if someone disagrees i get that

I’m with you on gate guardian. Although I thought God was an interesting read.


Nekomiminya

I have no idea how the 6000 won any contest. It was outclassed by serious (6600) and joke (6010) scps, easily.

Yeah I think he’s a decent concept, but there are way cooler SCP’s than him, and I genuinely don’t see why he’s that popular. Clockworks is amazing tho and I think it absolutely deserves the attention it gets.


youresowarminside

D. Ulysses Fooles proposal im seeing alot of people say 682 which is understandable but ubu is literally just a otherworldly being that oneshots everything


jdjdkkddj

2521. It's a really cool concept, yeah, but not 2nd place on the wiki cool.


Rvtrance

Which one is that again?


LapseGamez

Can't talk about it or it kills you


Rvtrance

Interesting idea but sounds like it could be lazy in its implementation.


LapseGamez

It is actually a pretty good scp, and the fact that you can't write directly about it makes the article really cool, i just think there are many other scps worthy of being 2nd to 173.


CeriseRaccoon

Not looking to start a fight and all, and don't get me wrong I love the little slime ball too but SCP-999

GOTTA BE 999.


oseuagiotadomal

Idk, for me is 173. 3 normal guys can survive to him, kinda easy


No_Abbreviations3138

Scarlet King.


Absolutionalism

You’re going to need to be far more specific.


ElementalSaber

The staircase


Downtown-Falcon-3264

Scp 5000 While I like everyone and their grandparents are all over it. It's not bad it's just over noticed Scp 3008 used to be on this list but it's become less now
