"Jerry was delegated to one of the worst places ever!"
"Oh no... North Korea?"
"Worse... Wisconsin!"
*everyone gasps*
😂 boredom is a scary thing ... Wisconsin was ranked in the top 30 most boring places to go ... #1 being Idaho of course
@@D3athW1ng Nebraska seems pretty fucking boring I'm surprised.
Sloth's Pit...
@@D3athW1ng I've always enjoyed visiting Wisconsin. It helps that I have a very awesome uncle there.
@@jongyon7192p it’s a crime that the entire fan base doesn’t know about that canon. It’s probably some of my favorite articles on the site
The worst locations known to the Foundation; Russia, Antarctica, North Korea and Lord forgive me for saying its name.........Wisconsin
I feel so targeted
How about indiana?
I thought it would be Florida lol.
I mean there's some pretty... interesting scp in Indiana. Might as well categorize that whole area as anomalous lol.
Not into American culture, so what wronf with Wisconsin? I mean I know the Florida man and send him to Detroit meme. But what's with Wisconsin?
Ah yes, the undesirable location on par with North Korea and the inhospitable wastelands of the Moon: _Wisconsin_
Wisconsin doesnt exist lol
@@Moon_MoonTM no, that's Wyoming. Wyoming doesnt exist
God man, you dare speak that cursed name. No one talks about that place. Not since the Cheese Wars of 2939.
Expected Maine though.
They can't handle the beer, cheese and ghosts
I thought this scp-001 was just one overpowered janitor who kept all other Keter anomalies in check
There isn't but imagine this guy being the only reality warper to re-contain 682? 'cause that fo mo has survived sooo many termination attempts, it's surprising the Foundation can keep him contained. SCP-001: The Keter Cleaner
You don't mess with Scruffy. *Sniffs*
Ahti?
Stan Lee
Ahti. The janitor from the game all the images in this video come from - Control.
To me, the two articles are very clear in purpose: a facility housing Keter objects is, itself, by definition a Keter class object. The facilities are each others foil, in an attempt by the entity that governs the containment pairs to contain itself.
Oh wow this is brilliant. Thank you for the headcanon
That does makes a helluva alot more sense... a Ying and Yang sorta thing.
I think things that help contain other things are Thaumiel class
Yeah ,I'ma go with this .
@@JameSeraphim then every single keter would be thaumiel, but by this canon this form of containment would exempt that classification
"Undesirable locations: Wisconsin"
As a cheese enthusiast I take offense to this
THATS WHAT I'M SAYING!
He must be lactose... intolerant. ;D
Okay cheddar head
Alright cheese boy
I love how I see you everywhere in the scp channels fellow scp lover

Okay but clef dared me to piss off SCP-4666 he said if I lived he would assign me to SCP-999
@@QuixoteBadger D-Class have to serve Dr.Clef and SCP-173's date
"Why the fuck did you bring SCP-666 1/2-J to the party anyway?"
You're laughing. SCP-1233 is up there fighting the beetle empire and you're laughing.
I know... how bout another joke, FanBann-ED?
Laughing? I’m joining him!
I actually really like this proposal because it explains why there are so many thing that can easily destroy the world or at least lead to a breach of secrecy and how they’ve managed to keep it all under wraps.
Glory to Arstotzka!
Show of hands: who else assumed that "Keter Duty" involved following 682 around with a broom?
I would’ve assumed that duty automatically went to the guy who can’t die
@@KainaX122 No wonder why Bright went mad, must have been stinky.
My first thought was Keter Duty meant that you would be assigned to guard SCP-106, a entity that is impossible to contain and likes to pretend it is contained for several months at a time, only for it to suddenly break out one day and murder everyone.
@@mercce6750 no. Isn’t there an SCP which is just a guy that dies but is “re-spawned” at his bed? There’s a YT animation series based around a character like that
Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if that turned out to be one of Bright’s punishments every once in a while
Edit: The series is ‘Confinement’ by Lord Bung

SCP-1233 "The Moon Champion"
Foundation: "the only thing they fear, is you"
1233: *loads shot gun as heavy music intensifies*
Hail the moon championship!!!
(Gets launched beyond the atmosphere)
Bah, now I have to reinstall that game again… “squirms in anticipation”
“I’m sorry, but your recent performance has landed you a position in keter duty.” “Oh god. Where am I headed, the cell for 682? 106?” “Worse. Pack your bags, you’re relocating to Wisconsin.” “NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!”
"If you scream when you are alone, know that you are heard."
That's surprisingly comforting
If I'm alone, who's hearing me? That's not comforting, it's scary
@@comp.lex4 you are
14:25 timestamp
It partially depends on your mentality.
If you believe the universe naturally bends towards good you might find it comforting, if you believe the opposite, you may come to the opposing conclusion.
If your ever alone and hear how a pattern screams bow your head there sacrifice will be honored
I sure do like the notion of Wizards and Werewolves being the primary defense against the worst of the worst.
Not to mention that the facility can occasionally turn humanoid Keters into Foundation employees lol.
Gotta say, haven’t watched in a while, but loving all the Control pictures used
Right? I've just started playing the game, and it really feels like an unofficial love letter to SCP so far.
@@karlturner5678 That's cause it is. The devs of control have stated that they took huge inspiration from the SCP universe.
Just finished the game a week ago. Loved it, but felt like there’s a lot of unanswered questions. Hopefully a sequel is being worked as we speak
@Michael Lesniak Alan Wake
Didn't like the game, did like the aesthetic
3:45 _"And the root is inhabited only by....... flamingoes"_
Me: *Oh no....*
4:14 "...hundreds of perpetual motion machines which generate a constant 8.7 Gigawatts of electricity."
*Doc Brown:* _"Why don't you just get a Mr. Fusion?"_
The story is a Yin-Yang concept i'd say. A light one with a dark point and a dark one with a light point. Maybe the sites themselves have to keep each other in check because one alone would be too Keter?
That's how I thought the video was going to end, with the conclusion that, and we don't know the order, one contains the other.
@@blackmage665 I'd rather they contain each other, from each pov the other one appears contained. smth like that. v°v
Given that the whole gimmick is two SCPs countering each other, the two different facilities could be the same. They interact with each other to keep things balanced.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
"between tasmania and australia"
I'm glad the rest of the world considers them separate too
As a Tasmanian I can confirm that we see the mainland as a scary mysterious force we cannot comprehend
Tasmania is the Alabama of Australia.
I literally could not point to Tasmania on a map, and I’m pretty sure it’s better that way
@@zetanone7211 That's kinda sad ngl.
@@Kniero what said is a bit of a an exaggeration, I probably could point to if you gave me map. But if you told me draw Oceania, I wouldn’t remember to draw it.
I like how the "light version" ending is dark and the "dark version" is more lighthearted
*_Perfectly balanced, as all things should be_*
YO Big-E. Put yourself back together before The Foundation has to come to your universe and fix your shit bruh. We already got one "Broken-God", we don't need another.
+@@exnomer5002+ How do you know that the Foundation isn't a Proto-Inquisition and the Emperor isn't it's Founder?
Ah yes, the textual yin and yang
Cause they're keeping each other contained...
I amuse myself how such stories are imagined. The fact that the SCP universe is a collaborative project is one of the best things about it. Each author brings a new perspective to the fictional universe and I love it.
The best part is how most of these stories are so different yet so similar to one another
Actually that's the worst part about it because nothing is regulated and nothing means anything.
There are two Keter Duty Facilities, all of them working to contain Keter-class SCPs by pairing them together so their effects cancel each other out. Which, of course, means those facilities cancel each other out and as a result, help maintain the status quo.
OH GOD NOT WISCONSIN THIS IS CRUEL AND UNJUST PUNISHMENT!
A base on the moon sounds pretty cool though.
@@lilelbowskin3101 when you can choose everything is better
Hey it ain't, dat bad here we'll get you some curds and a brat. We can than all sit down and watch da' Pack. Oh jees it's just da best. JOIN US...
Them winters are no joke
He compared to fu***** North Korea and Antarctica lol lol
So, this is basically a collection of "How It Should Have Ended" for all the KETER SCP entries?
yep
This Keter HISHE looks cool
I like hishe
So it's all a delicately balanced mess of Keter class SCP all containing each other. It sounds like hell to be there, even outside containment.
Hell is other people but SCP
Also, other people have brought up this idea, that the facilities themselves are Keter class objects and they contain one another
"Somebody come *Keter!* She's dancing like a strippah!"
Under rated 😂😂
Hahahahhaa
🤣🤣🤣
Creased
Countering the most dangerous anomalies with more dangerous anomalies, in an extremely delicate dance of death?
*Never change, Foundation. Never change.*
The foundation really hates Wisconsin huh.
Or far more likely in the SCP universe, Wisconsin hates everyone else
Well Wisconsin does have the town that got fucked by bears, and Sloth's Pit.
Another possibility is that Wisconsin is inherently anomalous and naturally repulses existence. Therefore *Wisconsin hates existence*
Not quite. The foundation neither loves nor hates Wisconsin. They just have more work there and built a facility to help with that because of the Keter level duty there on top of it all. If the foundation hated Wisconsin, they would have used their access to SCP beings and vast wealth to actually ruin Wisconsin, probably having the whole state converted into a "free prison" complex or some other dystopia.
You can't go universe vs. opinion on anything that has fact as subjective to feelings.
That's how cults work in their sophistry.
Yep I'm moving back to Mexico, fuck Wisconsin
Thank you Control, for your many contributions to art that The Exploring Series can use.
Fantastic game. I view that game as essentially an SCP game or at least what an SCP game should be.
@CHOAM Nomsky i know
@@pixelcount350 Makes me wanna write a story where SCP and FBC cross paths...
@@alvintollah Would be interesting.
@@pixelcount350 yeah I think of Control as an alternate reality in the SCP universe.

When I reached the end of the first document I was bewildered by the end text. After leaving the tab long enough for it to reload only to find that there was an entirely different version that swapped back and forth I definitely started hoping to see you cover it! What a pleasant suprise.
The two Keter duties are the perfect Ying-Yang scenario. Darkness in the world of light, light in the void of darkness. Something old, yet something new. Losing hope and grasping the spark. Beauty in the Ugliness
Ah yes, Wisconsin. The 10 circle of hell
2:48. It’s made of what…? Peanut. That’s it. Peanut has a facility made in his honor. That’s the only logical explanation. Peanut house. Peanut house.
"Those assigned to Keter duty are publicly said to be relocating to a number of undesirable locations."
Shoutout to my homies in Wisconsin
Nah Ohio
I was about to say Florida, but I realized the entire state and the Man there is an anomaly
Omg hi bestie
Protagonist: do your worst!
Villain: take him to Wisconsin.
Protagonist: God no! Anywhere but there!
0-5 Council:"Sorry but you really messed up and now we have to relocate you to the worst place we currently operate in, Wisconsin"

I just wanna thank you so much for keeping your style of analysis videos for such a long time. I love your narration and the voice acting you’ve done in some of the videos. They’re fantastic, SCP or otherwise. Please keep up the awesome work and I hope you continue to do what you love.
SCPs: _You can't defeat me!_
Foundation: Oh I know, but it can * _points at SCP-001_ *
SCPs: *_NO-_*
I love these videos because you always give a bunch of info and you aren’t lost in forcing the foundation on your presentation like certain channels, you just focus on the info and go from there. Thank you so much and I hope to see more!
I've recently started play Control I've been enjoying it a lot. Clearly it takes some pages out of SCP. Really interesting game.
Well I thought that Thumbnail looked like a Screenshot from Control; and that "Federal Bureau of Control" seal definitely confirms it.
3:36 that voice drop was worthy of cheesy action movie trailer narrators. I had no idea it could be so good.
You are literally my favorite YT related channel that makes SCP content. Keep up the good work
It’s gonna be a good birthday when there’s a new Exploring Series!
HBD kid
Have some digital cake. 🎂
LMAO @ Wisconson. "Bread, Milk, Squick, Eggs..."
Love your videos! I first learned about the SCP Foundation universe through The Volgun and SCP Illustrated 2 years ago, and I can't get enough of it. I'm a lore freak, so your videos are absolute gold. I can't wait for you to cover SCP 001: When Day Breaks, one of my absolute favorites!
I was so confused trying to read this one just yesterday, thanks for this man! Love your content
Outstanding episode! I love these stories of how the SCP is structured and functions. I also like it when you connect all these SCP's, histories, and lore to the current story being told. Love your work thank you for sharing it with us!
Since there's all these References to Control in the Comments and the Background art; might I Suggest checking out the Stupendium's "Slide into the Void" music video?
Like how all these videos are posted during 3am the witching hour. Well at least for my timezone anyways.
Bro the background music on this is E L I T E. Right around 16:00 the smoooooooth repeating piano chord took my soul and I couldn't take my attention anywhere else. Good fucking job.
I haven't watched you since SCP-2480. Glad to see you keep doing these.
Ahh you hit on Alagadda! My man!
You are truly the penultimate explorer of this series.
FYI, "penultimate" doesn't mean "super awesome", it means "second to last". Might want to pick a different way of expressing your enthusiasm, lest you be mistaken for a doomsaying prophet.
this is awesome. I remember reading the original Keter Duty and was excited for a recap and a fresh take on it. Then I find that it had been re-written and this version(s) go a bit deeper and are very interesting in their own right. Keep up the amazing work TES!
I rarely watch the videos but this is my favourite channel to listen to in the background while I’m working! Love your content :D
Wow, didnt expect this to be rewritten and expanded. It was one of my favorites in the past and I cant wait to read this. Also, I also recommended you guys to read IHP's personal SCP-001 proposal and the entire S&C Plastics Canon. Theyre simply so fun.
What if the two different versions of this SCP in and of themselves constitute two keter class anomalies containing each other? One with a dark future, opposing one which is hopeful. It’s possible that a route within the first facility connects to the second, and vice versa. The whole theme of these articles is duality and balance, and if both contained the other, that sounds perfect.
This is one of my favorites Skips, I'm glad you covered it now.
Love the videos. Your voice is like soft butter against my eardrums, massaging me into my nightly slumber. Keep up the good work.
I was about to put some music on and study then this came up and I was like “F yessss”. I really love your vids you are a legit legend!
This is my new headcanon true 001
One of my favorite games. Control is literally if SCP became a game. Love the video!
I'm super happy that you use so many screenshots from Control as backgrounds :D i love the game and its bureau/facility setting is perfect for your videos!
Was super confused as to why the old proposal was removed. The explanation finally cleared things up for me.
Glad you got to cover one of my favorite 001 proposal! I recommend everyone to read it since there are a bunch of popular anomalies that aren't mentioned in this video, such as ●●|●●●●●|●●|● or SCP-4000. And there is also Project Isorropía, a collaborative page, where authors can add new anomalies that contained each other.
For obvious reasons I don't think he's going to be covering 2521....

Hello TPS, can we get more Warhammer 40k lore at some point in the future?
Love your uploads 😁
The Pexploring Series?
Thank god you posted this. I was afraid I might actually try to go to sleep at a decent time.
It's funny, your videos are so nice to fall asleep to. There is something about how your Pitch and diction that lets me relax. The way you calmly and clearly explain things and even though you condense things you do it in such a way that you can still get the information and all in that calm voice.
9:34 i love how the foundation just said nah we ain't dealing with that, threw it in the farmhouse and just prayed to whatever higher power was on there side that they didn't join forces and end the world
XD
a number of undesirable locations including Antarctica, North Korea, and Wisconsin
can confirm they are all equally aweful
And the moon.
Lord knows I'm keter class.
My job feels like keter duty
And how exactly are you hard to contain?
@@heinrichze-france4089 I writhe around and squiggle and I scream, "look at me twisting! See me twist!?"
@@porkchopulator ... okay.
Porkchopulator: am entity that will continually writhe and squirm around yelling out for people to "see how it twists". If not regularly engaged said twisting will begin to distort the local environment, often bending it into non Euclidean geometry.
Strig Wilson: an entity that upon being assigned a "job", will cause any who also participate in it to begin to feel overwhelmed by the parameters of the job, regardless of experience in the task. If not assigned any job, tasks performed by the entity will have the same effects within an expanding mile radius, necessitating constant employment.
Containment: Strig Wilson is currently employed to "writhe and squirm and shout for people to look at how he twists". This has caused Porkchopulator to have lowered activity, often complaining how hard it is to twist, relating it to teaching yoga while cramped. Because of the consequences and large payment, Strig Wilson has currently made no signs of resigning.
just finished APOTHEOSIS and then this was uploaded, SWEET!!! LOVE your SCP work!
It sounds like the facility considers itself a Keter, and needed to contain itself somehow.
So it split itself in two, so it may oppose itself for all eternity.
Sorta like magnets, holding each other together outside of space and time.
I forgot which is which but one version has Keter classification and the other Thaumiel
This is one of the best 001 proposals
Would love to see you do a "Exploring" of the Lore and Foundation behind the game Control.
I love how all these screenshots are just from Control. The parallels are eerie, but it was really funny to me.
*"Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young."* -Anonymous
I fought forest fires and occasionally came across old men cutting trees and climbing mountains of fire with a vigor that was unnatural for their age. I thought at the time it was the urgency of the task that kept them vibrant but also in the back of my mind, the idea that they fed off the youth and possibly..the occasional tragedy. Never quite trusted them. That quote sums it up.

18:35 tilt that image to the right side is facing to top and you see half a face.
SCP-231 and SCP-4666 containing one another?
That would normally sound like a disturbing image to think about and yet apparently it's not as bad and the Yule Man still makes his toys... you know what I think I don't want to know what's going on.
At least it's not as traumatizing as Procedure 110-Montauk.

I literally just started my second playthrough of Control today. Have described the game to my wife and friends as "the scp game," since i first played it about a year ago.
