UIU tries A for effort
“This SCP is a telepathic fetus in a satalite, with multiple other satellites that contain replications if it’s mother. *Sometimes the SCP universe can get weird* . Anyways, this next one’s a dollar general PARKING LOT”
Lil' Vampire The satellite SCP is actually pretty morbid and kinda unsettling when you think about it. The fact that a mother and her baby were accidentally turned into a world ending orbital weapon and a powerful psychic is pretty messed up!
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 wdym it happened to me one time, i was going to the store and suddenly, boom! Now i live as a transcended bread god.
Sounds like Evangelion.
I thought the fetus was in the box on the ground, and the and mother was the blood in the satellites... Maybe I got it backwards.
@@jesseberg3271 Nah, you got it.
SCP Foundation: Throw D-class at it until it stops.
GOC: Spray and Pray
UIU: Way out of our league..
@サイレントボイス yes that is true coz MTF is often send in to better explore the area
But most of the time it’s a specific mtf that always does, I think they are called the mole rats or something like that. They are widely referred to as D-class with guns because they are usually killed off.

the UIU seems like a an ideal recruiting ground for the SCP and GOC, survive long enough and you've got what it takes.
Fox Mulder from X-Files would definitely make the Cut for both Organizations. Scully, well it depends. She's a bit too grounded in her understanding of things, and only goes the distance if Mulder pushes her. I'd give her a maybe.
Chris Slash the way Scully kept being skeptical after each supernatural encounter makes me think she’d rather be suited as a tool rather than an agent against cognito hazards.
@@VandalAudi I'll give you that. She needs Mulder to carry her. If not she'll be stuck at the UIU indefinitely
@@chrisslash638 Scully would fit well with the Foundation. I feel like Mulder is honestly more Hand-y. The Foundation has no imagination ("Here Were Dragons" demonstrates that), so Scully would probably fit their "There is a logical explanation for this somehow" philosophy. The Serpent's Hand is more "OMG THIS IS SO WEIRD I LOVE IT" which would be more Mulder's thing.
@@VandalAudi that's why she'd end up a D-class and Muller would be a Specialist

Like me.
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 but given the sheer amount of supranatural bullshits that exist in their world no wonder they still have a very long way to go to be on par with the Foundation.
UIU is like NASA so underfunded but still working very hard.
If the various organizations were personified as people or animals, the UIU would be adorable in a very clumsy and smol way
Soo UIU is NASA

Lettuce it’s actually several trillion, the US Military itself is wildly overfunded and your probably just referring to a single branch of the army.
UIU: who are you?
SCP Foundation: I’m you, but stronger
It'll be more fare to compare them to the GOC
Im you but actually useful

@@handrew4813 the goc is basically I slightly weaker scpf that instead of containing and researching anomalies, destroy them.
@@skepabbas9400 the goc is if the scp foundation said screw it just kill em all
I think the UIU is one of the more interesting groups in the SCP universe. Just mostly regular feds who are in way above their heads in a world where basically every other faction is larger and more powerful than them. Hopefully they, the GRU division P and the DOD PENTAGRAM get more attention soon.
Jacob H I hope so too. I kinda respect them because of determined they hard and how they don’t easily give up
I have a question. Who is DOD PENTAGRAM and how do I learn more about them?
they are a endearing underdog faction il give you that
@@mediocreman3363 Exploring Series has started he had an overview video on them already.
I do prefer the times when the UIU is actually shown as competent and able to keep pace with some of the other factions mainly because while the UIU is weaker than say the foundation at their job. The UIU is still a division of the US government so they shouldn't be treated as mostly useless
*so basically the dollar store version of the foundation*
The irony because they are involved with a dollar general store SCP
Reno Kyrie An ironic coincidence
There's a mini-canon where UIU actually has a decent knowledge of the anomalous and just hides under the veil of incompetence, with goals somewhat similar to Serpent's hand but on a rural scale.
It'd be more accurate if it was from wish
Lmao
Me: Mom, I want to see the SCP Foundation
Mom: We have an SCP Foundation active at home
Foundation at home:
Who* spew bullshit at you...
@Eric Lee Because it was funnier, relatable and simple: you are promised something good (to shut you up and to shot down questions like: "But mom, i can eat both. Theres not even that much left, so you have to cook anyway? ETC" Its because the mom doesnt want to go into drivethrough and enforce the idea that any burger-joint makes better food than she ever will.
@Eric Lee It makes just as much sense as yours pal. You get the point.
@@ilkkarautio2449 actually I think his is way more readable than yours, no offense.
Basically the UIU is the little brother SCP foundation has to let in on playing cause mom said so.
Awkward Minds Inc. Ha! That joke really works well!
The scary part is that who's the mom
So... The UIU is Canada?
Mom said it's my turn on the anomalous materials.
Maybe more like that one weird kid in class that has to be included cuz they HAPPEN to be in class.
SCP scientist: Sir, I've got sightings of a safe anomaly
SCP senior scientist: Where is located?
SCP scientist: USA sir
SCP senior scientist: eh just tell UIU about it, we've got 645619th attempt at terminating that lizard to do.
Just get an MTF expedition to take a trip through 2935 and get 2000 up and running, then have one of them make a return trip. Problems with the lizard all solved.
Safe means easy to contain, it has no bearing on how dangerous the anomaly is.
@@guinevereemilysummers9945 um, correct
“It seems to be a ring which can destroy the universe, sir.”
*”Oh.”*
@@guinevereemilysummers9945 UIU: *Are You Challenging Me?*
You've just made me feel bad for the UIU, and now I kinda like them
gideon crider Same here. They truly care about their goals and actually try their hardest to do their jobs!
If it makes you feel better one thing they do is protect three portlands witch is one of my favorite places in the scp universe.
same
I always liked the UIU. Their “incompetence” is mostly lack of resources due to those that actually know the truth of anomalies don’t trust politicians to know so little money is allocated.
But the Foundation realizes the value of them in certain situations so trusts them enough to give them smaller items to keep them around.
I’d suspect that the Foundation would utilize them a bit more and give a bit of funding if not the questions from politicians
@Conrad Kujur why would anyone waste resources researching "weird occurrences" when a little bit of research shows that many stories and practices in communities where people believe in that sort of stuff are very questionable?
There's way too little evidence for the paranatural in the real world, and while that may sound like the sort of stuff stubborn idiots say in supernormal settings that's only because there's definite evidence in fictional stories and the fact that they do exist is basically undisputed the second you get that evidence, unlike our world.
@@nin2494 Humans arent purely logical creatures, even in the abscense of actual evidence people will still believe in paranormal occurences if given something they cannot explain. Its not that far out there for these things to have something dedicated to investigating them, just look at the govt. UFO footage thats slowly been released over the years.
@@jackteam54 They aren't purely logical creatures, which is why they think footage of an Unidentified Flying Object is enough evidence to prove alien species even when it's more likely for terrestrial organisations (UNDER THE RADAR ORGANISATIONS.) to be making undercover objects.
Comma not found
xXJLNINJAXx the UIU didn’t have enough money for a comma
It gained reputation until they had a little dispute with *Cough* *Cough* Anderson Robotics in a dimension town
Those Twisted Pines is one of my favorite hubs 😊
Tibatib Jurnest It also showed that the UIU actually CAN successfully pull off an operation and even getting positive/beneficial results from them! So they DO have potential to be a successful organization
Wait really? Could you please tell me where is the article, I want to read it. You've definitely got my attention now.
@Emperor Arkunus 3 Portlands
The Colorful Salesman just search up anderson robotics
Our local Dollar General has a similar anomaly in it's parking lot.
Each day, used diapers, cigarette butts, and puddles of vomit seem to mysteriously appear at irregular intervals.
Spooky.
Better get the UIU on that

**Happy little FBI agent noise**
The UIU. An organization while often looked down as a joke, shows great determination to keep on fulfilling their mission and has untapped potential that has yet to be achieved.
“Also the X-Files them at the end! Geniusly hilarious!”
Try to think of UIU as the cop in Stranger Things. He's out of his league and can't compete with the shadowy government paramilitary organization, but he's not a fool. He was able to use what limited resources he had to uncover the conspiracy and eventually win, but will receive no credit.
In season 1 at least.
Bob Walsh uiu is more x files ish
Yeah and they kept a major anomaly hidden from that shadowy government organization until it inevitably came to light
@@local38on-tv exactly make me think what else they maybe keeping secret from the Foundation
I feel like the UiU would be the most 'safe' way to make a SCP TV show, it would be a generic sci-fi Mystery Cop show with occasional cool moments and minor passing references to other Groups of Interest. The best moment of the show would probably this moment in Season 3 were Generic Cop dude gets contacted by a SCP Agent over the phone who tells him how to find missing girl of the Week.
That could be an interesting idea I'd say the best place to set it though would be Three Portlands
JakeSpacePirate E it call the x files
I think that if the UIU would be in an SCP TV show, he could be the one that obstacles almost everybody, maybe making some comicity, but then, it shows what he really he is at the end, helping everybody against the enemy.
And they repeatedly see someone wearing an amulet when things are getting weird. It's a different person every time, and they assume it's some kind of group using the amulets as an identifier.
It's _Bright. It was always Bright._
I would love to see the moment a group of UIU agents go from "everything is fine we can handle this" to "we need to contact the SCP foundation"
To paraphrase a meme: "they're confused, but they got the spirit"
SCP operative "Who is in Charge?"
UIU agents points to agent Mulder
Eltaccos Mulder: Yes, I’m sure.
Dr. Bright: Geez, no wonder why you people got little experience in anomalies..
@@stonegrind Meanwhile, an SCP-701 event is being examined where it took place in a goddamn outdoor theater. An agent looks and sees a kid [DATA EXPUNGED].
G.O.C.: It's ok UIU just follow my lead. Don't you listen to those Foundation Kids.
UIU : *Sniff*... o.. okay..
And then the GOC sinks harmless happy boats. Why? "They were different from us".
@@furiousfinch1587 and destroys a chair.
@@furiousfinch1587 GOC: sorry, I don’t speak in Montauk

Now I wanna play a game where you are an UIU member who works their way up into not being a joke and slowly help improve the organization overall.
Sorry sir, this is the scp universe. Pragmatism isn't allowed
Then play SCP Rbreach on roblox, sometimes it happens to respawn as UIU but damn it get funky when you hear its theme.

People laugh at mall cops until one them saved their lives.
Fox Mulder: "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS?!"
Because.
Three Portlands and The colony
Two UIU victories
Pretty major victories at that.
The UIU really shined with three Portlands since they managed to keep it a secret from the foundation for a decent amount of time and they had a lot of importance being one of the few earthly law enforcement agencies allowed into the anomalous dimension
UIU in lore: It ain't much, but it's honest work
UIU in rBreach: *Basically the whole payday 2's department of justice*
My headcannon for why the UIU would send an elite Swat team into a containment breach would be to prove themselves to the foundation in the hopes that they will partner with them and allocate more resources
@@tpd1864blakemore like that UIU swat team was the closest scp-aligned unit available for containment.
@@vaporsouls6752 ok I have a new theory for how the UIU could be sent into a containment breach. After the breach alert is sent and MTF is dispatched, some nearby UIU are sent over to assist the on-site security with keeping the perimeter stable. If the MTF sustain heavy losses after deploying, but they’ve managed to stabilize the situation to a manageable level, then the UIU are sent in along with a Foundation security chief or something to help the MTF secure the last few anomalies and wrap up the job. You know, a convenient SWAT team ready to deploy at a moment’s notice but they’re not at all trained for this kind of situation
the UIU in Scp tThe Red Lake is even better, they actually works
Seeing guys transferred to the UIU must be weird. There’s laughter back and forth about it and you keep in touch, watching him slowly become more reserved and stoic. You swear he’s showing symptoms of severe PTSD, but nothing he’s done could have caused it. And then, out of the blue, he’s dead, the file says shot by a methhead. The funeral is closed casket.
Just like all the others.
Site Director: So who are these guys?
Foundation Agent: They're the Unusual Incidents Unit, the UIU.
Director: And what do they do?
Agent: The best they can, sir. The best they can.
I think "The Suits" might be "Nobody"
Also if you're looking for an amusing SCP for a video try 4390
they're the goc
@@anomalocaris7436 So basically the neutered SCP gets to show up.
You could be right with the vibe of the GOC is basically MEN IN BLACK in flack armor, including The Foundation, which is known from packing military grade weaponry on certain operations. More subdued and cryptic than its' counterparts, the GOC, Fifthist, Church of Broken God, Sarkicism, and Are We Cool Yet View Nobody as a threat, yet someone that must be ignore.
Everyone loves and underdog I guess
Maybe the fourth “ark” that Simian refered to made its way to Russia, thus creating The Flesh That Hates.
Also don’t lie to me TES, I can hear the Illuminati theme in the background
Edit: Yeah its the X-files theme.
It's the X-files theme...
I thought about 610 too. But 610 has been around since ancient times. Maybe Simeon 're-discovered' it during his research. Or Maybe they're long forgotten descendants of Grand Karcist Ion.
So, basically they're the equivalent of cop in teenage fantasy novel, utterly useless?
If that cop assisted significantly in one or two vampire cases too then just about yes.
"Sometimes, the SCP universe is... really weird."
Then an ad showed up
For everyone asking "The US is one of the strongest countries in the world, why don't they have a better paranormal group?" They already do in the form of the DOD Pentagram (the DOD's anomalous weapons division), its just that the UIU is the main connection that the SCPF has to the US government concerning paranormal matters and is also the middleman in agreements between the Pentagram and the SCPF.
I've played as the UIU before in an SCP game and from the deatils it gave, it said they were a branch of the FBI or some other major organization. I've wanted to learn more about it, but never searched it up. Thanks for covering it!

The UIU sounds like the kid who tries the hardest, but always faceplants at the end
The thing is, they aren't exactly a joke, and the recruiter is already evident that he's well trained and experienced in this field. (What with, dodging over 1100 rounds of a Desert Eagle and not being in a hospital by now.)
It's only really because they are the bridge between the normal and supernatural, leaning more towards the normal. Given time, however, and if the SCP Foundation or any other GOI *really* needs them, like the GOC, then it can be assumed they can do relatively good work.
Part of the only reason they are a joke is that they take orders from the most unassuming people. A pizza delivery guy. A bank teller. A blind guy with a seeing-eye dog. But once you see the horrors that are on the other side, then you don't care if you are a joke. You care if you will live or not.
Dude I respect the grind. Been awake for like-- I dunno-- a lot more hours than I have fingers to fix my sleeping cycle and damn these videos keep fixing up my mood and boredom.

Yes but papa U.S is nothing compared to big mommy S.C.P foundation
I think that is the pentagram but i don't know if the UIU have any authority with them.
Ahh the UIU, nice and interesting group that are unfortunately shoved into the deep end into Lovecrafts nightmares and horrors without even the proper equipment and even if that was not enough they had a competitor that is better than them at every way.
I sorta want to write a UIU story now, since they're sorta forgotten about
Go for it!
Basically the X-Files
And just like the actual X-Files, they pretty much work in the FBI's basement, ignored by everyone.
The Colony SCP is a really good read. Highly disturbing, but good writing.
"The UIU is the laughing stock of the anomalous world."

@@Rookthabastad America is the best
Hey, right now we [americans] are the laughingstock of the normal world.
@Its on black you go back
I love the UIU. They're so relatable. It's exactly what it would be like to take an average person and drop them into the anomalous world. They're doing the best they can with what they have and by God they're pound for pound the most effective organization in the SCP universe. Considering what they're given to work with, they're incredibly good at their jobs.
The UIU is like a kid that has a lot of potential but never really develop their potential because they don't have the means to do it
I like the idea of SCP Foundation being an anomaly itself, or at least started as one, it's a pretty cool and little ironic twist.
It is in some canon, like the one in Ouroboros cycle
FBI open up. Literally.
Those last few images look like concept art for "Control"

@@foundationgamer9771 Could the bureau be he UIU?
They handled Three Portlands so I wouldn't say they are incompetent
But for the cost of losing the public trust of the residence inside of Three Portland's
The UIU is like the imperial Guard in 40k. They are just regular people dealing with shit way above their pay grade and skill, but they still do the best they can and no one can fault them for their lack of funding or training.
You know no one in the Executive Branch takes you seriously when your seal is designed with a flying saucer in it.
A "Linguistic Leyline" would be very POWERFUL for Alexandria as there are about 50 municipalities with that name.
Also you left out one other problem the UIU has, the Foundation keeps poaching their best & brightest.
Ha true every time someone is great they take them
I like the UIU man. They're like the equiveleant of the beat town cops who constantly have to fight to keep every investigation transferred to the FBI and despite having fewer resources and less well trained members are constantly underestimated and by sheer force of determination to prove they can go toe to toe with their bigger more well equipped brother and maybe even handle it BETTER than them in our real world, only in THIS case the FEDS are the small fish and the SCP is the big brother. They're like the underdogs and it's hard not to root for them because they're so underestimated they're more relateable as people than the cold, sterile, scientific foundation. Again, it's like how we root for the small town cops because they're more relateable and in the same vein the UIU are just normal ass people and detectives in comparison to the know-it-all almost faceless SCP foundation, yeah there's personalities in the SCP foundation but they're personalities because they're wacky and fascinating like the (atleast in most later depictions) wacky Dr. Bright or the cold calculating almost representative of the SCPF philosophy of Dr. Gears, or the mystery and anomalous effects of Clef who cant have pictures taken of him. The UIU doesn't have characters like this because they're just average people in way over their heads, like the Detective from Call of Cthulu who I can't even remember the NAME of but I still root for because he's just a dude somehow managing to survive eldritch abominations and psycho cults and still through raw determination perserveres to find the truth and try to unravel the mystery behind everything. Because despite not having a source of borderline omniscient information (like the SCPF seems to have most of the time) or any sort of powers or mcguffins that give him an advantage he still charges into the dark blind hoping to turn on a light for the people who come after him. Idk man like I said it's a lot easier to root for the UIU than like the GOC with their literal armies or even the Serpent's Hand with their mysterious otherworldly powers and insight (some of which even the SCPF doesnt have) specifically BECAUSE they're considered such a big, naive joke.

(even with small units, if scenario needs to keep things under control)
Moreover in the SCP world, where such infinite-ressource organisations do exist the same, and in numbers.
And then, they go out of their way to create a realistic half-baked division of the FBI.
X-Files inspired, for sure, but still : that's crazy good and anchor the world much better.
I love the UIU.
They are so out of their league, but by God they're trying. They just lack the resources or experience that the Foundation, GOC, or MC&D have.
I could definitely see an SCP show with a UIU agent as the POV character in understanding the world of anomalies.
Or a TTRPG a la Call of Cthulhu where you can play as a UIU agent.
I just really love the UIU, man.
Today I wondered why so many SCPs are high school related. Then I realized that most SCP authors are probably in high school.
"If a suit gives you an order you should follow it. But otherwise they're untrustworthy." Um ok.
Sounds like my advice to my kids. Just confusing parenting.
I accualy never heard of this group of intrest
Good to know you are talking about UIU
I don't blame you, last time I checked, the UIU was at the bottom of the list of GOI, the list was probably aplhabetically ordered, but still...
Volgun has a pretty funny video on it too
lekhaclam87 The Group of Interest list is pretty much in alphabetical order.
@@HolyShitItsHim1 Well, i know Gru division P also known as Soviets, and Gamers against weeds who i really dont like
Not really a casual xD
Control: exists
SCP channels: _why couldn't this art exist sooner?_
If i'm going to be honest, i would really like fan content focused on the UIU seeing as they are the underdogs/fish out of water of the SCP universe
It’d be fun to have more stories about the UIU maybe a detective tale similar to a noir drama or even something ridiculous such as having them stop a world ending event or something.
There's gotta be an alternate universe out there where Mulder and Skully run the UIU.
I always enjoy underdog stories.
This is definitely one of them. I would even buy them some pizza if they where real.
UIU is like a small branch nobody talks about just like Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense
Jeez MTF Pi-1 gets better equipment than the entirety of the UIU.

The UIU: *FBI OPEN UP*
UWU
n!n ?
.....or
UIU ?
🤔
The UIU also would work well as a contingency plan for the us government in that case that the foundation goes rogue. As for now it's underfunded but it just has to function as a skeleton on which the us can build any time when it is required.
I've always believe the Foundation has to be SCP-001. It's just the most sensible conclusion to make in that universe. But there are a lot of ways to interpret how that could be. I like the idea that the Foundation grew out of a pre-existing organization dealing with comparatively minor anomalies.
Some anomalous event started to imitate the UIU, its people, and their operational procedures. In order to do that, eventually it had to start producing its own anomalies to have something to protect. It means the entire SCP universe is one gigantic feedback loop of anomalous activity. If you look at SCP articles over time, the degree to which they pose a threat against human existence increases almost exponentially. The feedback loop idea makes a lot of sense.
*notices your anomaly*
UIU what's this?

The UIU is my favorite SCP faction since we'll... They're a joke
Christopher Setera we will they are a joke
We surely will that they are a joke (into reality)!
I think it’s cute
if there was a UIU-chan i would pet her head, buy her some candy and tell her she is doing a great job.
Ok Little Man

No
The UIU will always be my second favorite GoI
It would be interesting to have a game where you start as a proud new recruit still believing they is doing their country proud. They are oblivious and still underestimating the paranormal, until during a routine mission, exposes you to a serious threat. You first hand experience the severity and magnitude of the anomolous world and the other more secretive powers that dwarf your own. Being exposed to it the UIU sends you to more dangerous missions with the SCP Foundation always being involved.
I really like the UIU, honestly. They do their jobs to an adequate standard without the support of: their country, their government, or even their peers in the FBI. They are almost completely alone in their fight, if it weren't for their unofficial alliance with the Foundation. They're just regular, old-school lawmen in an indescribably and impossibly big world. Despite all the ridicule, each of them knows the scale of the frontline they stand on, and probably take pride knowing they are privy to an entirely different world than all the chumps working small-time mundane cases involving serial killers and drug dealers.
"Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity" all things the FBI should stand for in our own universe.
I really like it when you go over factions/units in the SCP universe, you think you might go over the Ethics Committee? There's not a lot for them, but the implications are interesting.
Love your videos dude! Keep being cool!
"Hey, guess what? You're joining the FBI"
"Horray! What division?"
"Huh, it appears that you're getting in the UIU."
i have dyslexia and find it very hard to read the SCP pages myself. your series has helped me understand them better and be able to still join in on the SCP horror fun! thank you.
Can't wait for the eventual attack of the Scarlet King to be put down by the UIU.
Nice exploring the history of the UIU
The foundation giving the UIU some mini skips to deal with so that they have funding is kinda wholesome tbh
