To be completely fair the plague doctor is like a average Tuesday for the SCP foundation. Some of these things are terrifying, insane or usually some messed up combination.
For the SCP foundation, SCPs like The Plague Doctor, or SCP-706, are another Tuesday. If they’re kept occupied, on their regular routine, they’re fine. Some are more like residents of a facility. Others? They’re too dangerous to even approach.
Is it wrong to run an organization dedicated to protecting humanity at humanity's expense? Is it wrong to replace an entire ethics committee with loyal clones? Is it wrong to use the scum of the earth as canon fodder? I leave these questions in the capable hands of the Ethics Committee.
If we're being totally honest, 049 is probably one of the best SCP to interact with as while there is a high chance of death, you can still have a reasonable chance of talking him away from just killing you and using you for research. The fact he's a rather charming person helps as well. I say check up SCPs 999 and 343, both are great people, that, or check out the transdimensional vending machine!
Thanks for this. There's no true SCP cannon, but this variation of the Doctor is rather different to the original and most portrayals. Not having the interviews, or hearing him speak, really changes the depiction of his character. I'd recommend _Where the Dragons went,_ _Infinite Ikea,_ _The tunnel monster_ and _The young girl_ with the Sedition interviews.
Yeah… the interview format keeps much closer to the original text without extrapolating or drawing conclusions like this one does. And especially since this just robs 049 of his character.
Yeah this is entirely off beat and actually get some stuff wrong in favour of cheap horror of moral gray. The true horror of 49 is that, he may actually know something we humans don't. He is polite, even friendly and not malicious. Calling his action a trap kind of usurps any sort of worry he may be onto something.
my favorite SCP content creator is theVolgun, the atmosphere and the way he presents it as if you're sitting in on a debriefing and overall story presentation is immersive.
I highly recommend if you continue scp content to do it on The Volgun’s channel. A lot of these quickly made animation vids get some of the information wrong. Volgun really immerses you in the world by setting his vids up like a briefing to scp staff. And for each interview cited he has it all acted out like your listening to a recording of the events. Now for recommendations Scp 4999 - no one die alone (pretty wholesome) Scp 2006 - too spooky Scp 2326 a you don’t recognize the bodies in the water
You wanna know the worst part of SCP-049, he's not trying to kill all diseases... He's trying to kill one specific one, "The Pestilence" or "The Great Dying". He never elaborates enough on what it actually is, as if it should be obvious what it is, leading to the pestilence becoming one of the biggest mysteries in the SCP Foundation Is it a pre-existing disease were already aware of? Is it a collection of symptoms from multiple diseases that 049 misinterpreted as being all part of the same disease? Is it a disease that we've yet to identify with all of us already being infected, and 049 is the only one aware of it? Is it all in his head? Is it something like mental illness, aggression, free will, or death? Is it another anomaly that's been subtly infecting our minds? Or is it something else entirely? There is no way of knowing.
I'm like 90% sure the pestilence 049 is talking about is The Entity from Scp 5000 it's a memetic parasite that's attached to humanity's collective consciousness and feeds off of and is the cause of all pain and fear and when we die our souls are taken by it and tortured by it for all eternity
I also sometimes like to think that he just is deluding himself into believing that there’s a virus and deep down he knows that he’s just using that as an excuse but as we all know there’s no way to know for sure what truly is going on with “the pestilence”.
There's more entries and lore than from this video, and some possibilities I thought of from that included the other parties' fear-of-death, because when talking to 49, one doctor was about to get the 'treatment' but suddenly got better or something, I forget now, but it was seemingly after accepting it.
SCP content LETS GOOO!! There are SO many classics here, I don't think you understand the potential content well you just opened up! Looking forward to more!!
@@wahtari2994 What the person before me said. Adding to that, it's an archive of community written lab entries of annomalies including gods, diseases, creatures, objects, places and even concepts. They can be evil, good, neutral, threatening, harmless, funny, creepy, etc. The sky is the limit with SCP and that's what's fantastic about it!
I listened to the transcript of the interview about Raymond's death, and it almost sounded like 049 was trying to convince himself he had actually helped and healed the good doctor.
I think it's best if he watches an introductory video to the SCP universe next cause there might be some terms he runs into that he won't understand otherwise
So I know this is almost 2 weeks late and I'm not sure if you've been informed of this or not yet, but I figure it's worth answering your question of "What the hell's a Euclid?" Euclid-class SCPs are things that are potentially dangerous and could potentially escape containment, but it's too hard to say for sure, as it's not inert enough to deserve the Safe class, which means it's incredibly easy to contain, and not active enough to deserve Keter class, which is something that's extremely difficult to contain and usually extremely dangerous if not contained. Most sapient SCPs are classified as Euclid simply because their nature as beings with free will makes it hard to predict whether or not they'll decide to try to leave. But that's the big thing about containment classes. It doesn't actually have very much to do with how dangerous the thing is but rather how hard it is to contain. Also, when they supply children to keep things contained, those children are usually A) not actual parent's children but rather children created using another anomaly, and B) are used to contain something that would likely wipe humanity from the face of the Earth if *not* contained.
Oh if this is his first dive into SCP he ain't ready for some of the wild ones like ANY of the SCP-001 stories. I think Nux should watch the one with God, it's pretty funny.
If you continue further down the SCP rabbit hole, I highly recommend a channel called TheVolgun. He does very well acted SCP file readings in the style of an in-universe doctor of the Foundation.
I'd recommend the volgun for scp videos they are longer but imo gives a waay better experience to scps and he has a intro to scp video that originally got me into scps too
I’d disagree, only for the reason he is streaming it with a chat. If you are trying to just get into the lore and want to like get creeped out while deeply getting into the story then yes absolutely I agree. But I can’t say watching a text scroll and a good even great telling of these scps would be better for content and enjoyment for all involved. While these I think do a great job explaining and getting your into it while we’ll like nux does allowing you to stop and laugh at the animation but also keeping more attention on it itself while giving a visual representation.
@@reallyriley123"do a great job explaining" by getting more than half the details wrong? No bro, this channel has been a laughing stock in the community for a long time.
@@reallyriley123well in that case I would say he should try out Mr. Illustrated because he does the whole scp like TheVulgan and also makes drawing about it to so Nux and chat would have something to look at
@@reallyriley123 i understand your take but honestly volgun is more than just flowing text, he gives a description of the scp and will reinact an outbreak or event giving each character a unique voice (played by diffrent people mostly) and emotion that makes you feel like you found a actual archived tape, while with this type of video he is reacting to feels like an infographic lol i just cant take it seriously with the stock laugh track
i would recomend doing volguns vindeos on scp the infographis are fun but there just content fsrming at the same time volgin give a true feeling of actually reading and being inside the sp world
Yeah I agree with the reading but for content and visual wise these take the cake because they stick pretty well with the lore and we’ll give you enough to look at to not lose anyone, which I would say normally people’s attention spans are too short and we shouldn’t need bells and whistles to get into it (which I started with Vulcan) but I do think this is much easier to again make content when like talking about it with a chat and keeping them there to see some kind of representation of them said scp.
049 Thinks he's being lawful good, working as a medical practitioner. Unfortunately from our perspective, there is no evidence of this pestilence he's always on about, so we pretty much see him as chaotic evil, just making aggressive zombies for the hell of it. That dichotomy has always interested me.
One of the cool theories Ive heard about SCP-049 is the pestilence is free will. Whether it's "correct" or not it's an interesting idea that explains why the undead can be controlled by 049 or just go classic dumb zombie
I've heard a few rumors on other videos about what the pestilence actually is one of the best ones I heard was that it is hubris because there was one interaction the good doctor had with one of the researchers and he said that he did not see the pestilence in the SCP doctor but then the guy started to become combative and argumentative and suddenly he saw the pestilence in him
I don't think this is the best one to start with personally, and that' just because i don't think 049 does a good job introducing people to this world and the level of craziness it can reach, but it is considered a classic. A lot of the originals are "entity type" scps and some aren't really scary, just weird and dangerous but some are. I think my favorite one for people to start with is "Infinite IKEA" because it just has everything in its story that makes scp lore interesting all put into one short story. It's like the perfect microcosm of what this universe it like.
The Plague Doctor isn't a "good guy," but I think it's fair to say that he wants to be a hero who can cure people, and *sees himself as* a good guy. If questioned, he will admit that his "treatment" is "not perfect." He just considers what he calls "the pestilence" much worse.
To be honest, Volgun's version of this is better. But Volgun also basically set the bar for how you do these. I like to think the Plague Doctor is trying to cure something more abstract. Like, free will, or something. He never specifically says he's trying to cure life, or death, or anything like that. He only ever refers to it in abstract terms, like he isn't ALLOWED or CAPABLE of saying the thing. Given that the SCP universe has a ton of cognito hazards, he literally might not be able to actually SAY what it is. That is the only time he ever gets nervous. Whenever he tries to talk about it.
I believe the rankings are: Safe: Not harmful to humans, and possibly helpful in some cases. Euclid: dangerous if provoked or interacted with in specific circumstances, but otherwise ok. Keter: deadly, and not to be messed with without proper precautions.
It's not how dangerous, its how easy it is to contain. ie: Safe: Put it in a box and it does nothing Euclid: Put it in a box and who knows what happens Keter: Put it in a box and it escapes Thaumiel: Is the box There are more but there is also a new updated system: ua-cam.com/video/VmL_UtovxPU/v-deo.html
The foundation is neither good nor evil their purpose is simply the keep the masses safe if it means sacrificing some people so be it they believe in the greater good. Very intresting organization.
There are interviews with the plague doctor that can be watched through the SCP foundation youtube channel. I recommend watching them as they are unsettling.
Awesome that your diving into the foundation. A lot of it is actually really really good fiction....and then there's the heaps of nearby trash fires lmao but it's still worth wading through to find the treasures.
049 is pretty basic but a great SCP starting point! Got really excited for half a second because I thought this was the Wandsmen one of my favourite SCP groups
my theory is that the "pestilence" the plague doctor is talking about is really just aging and he cures them by turning them into zombie therefore making them immortal
SCP 049 was like "oh you talking trash? Guess what buddy, you got the pestilence and I'm about to cure it. Also The Volgun does this explaining SCPs thing way better.
I may be wrong, but it seems to me the pestilence might be the fear and denial of death. In the stories any time someone accepts their end and goes to greet it 049 acts as if they are either cured or at a lower viral load.
SCP-Illustrated is my favorite scp descriptions as the video presents itself as a secret document type and has much better visuals than the goofy animations
Either the Volgun or exploring series' introduction videos are practically required for a lot of the terminology they use. These videos will just assume you know them. Good luck and Godspeed on your trip through the rabbit hole!
the SCP setting isn't so much a 'good guys/bad guys' setting as much as 'bad guys doing what they think they have to' vs 'bad guys who are nakedly greedy' vs 'scary things of varying and occasionally unknowable motive and nature'. Some SCPs are benevolent. Some [i]seem[/i] benevolent, most are incredibly dangerous, some might be critical to maintaining reality, some might be the threat that can end all of reality. Many are seemingly understood, but none are [i]fully[/i] understood. Some have already reshaped the world around us. If you want a fun one of those, I recommend SCP-8900, or 'Sky blue sky'.
Oh shit, Nux is going down the rabbit hole of his family at the SCP….😂wait till he finds out, Angels, God, Machine gods, Happiness Jelly monsters, and IKEA are all SCP’s 😂😂😂😂😂
Knowing you like to analyze the psyches of these characters and think that would be a cool thing There’s also some really cool SCP animations from Tales from the foundation Though mainly the first ones
@Nuxanor For the next videos on SCPs that you will make, I suggest SCPs 2599, 2295, 053, 303, 187, 348, 191, 871, 956, 3092, 073, 166, 1765, 137, 920, 336 and 239. I hope that in the pile, you will find some that interest you ;)
I believe there was an SCP that would doom the world to eternal torment without the voluntary sacrifice of human children. As in, the children have to want to sacrifice themselves and it was unknown whether they receive that eternal torment or not. So, yeah, Plague Doc is far from the worst.
Not every SCP is evil like the Plague Doctor. Some are just objects with weird properties, such as the tothbrush (that's not a typo) that can basically vaporize anything it is used to brush. Some are kind creatures that are just too weird for the general public to know about, such as the Tickle Monster, a blob of sentient orange goo that loves to hug people and gives off literal contagious euphoria (lore-wise, the Foundation has considered using the euphoric essence it gives off as an antidepressant; it's that strong). Also, God is an SCP.
I've gotten into this discussion with other SCP fans about supplying children to certain scps the question always comes up which is worse to hand them a child or two so that they can be contained or to deny them said child and then have them break containment out there slaughtering hundreds if not thousands of children
Interesting, I thought SCPs are supposed to be scary, or at least a little bit unsettling, but from this one at least I'm getting more of a mysterious, Doctor Who derivative vibes.
A SCP dat i love not because is scary but just the character himself . Like nothing dangerous but the fact thats a butler who appears ( randomly and mysteriously ) whit the sound of his bell to do a service make smile.
13:00... like an angel or a god? A lawful good villain, Lusamine from USUM (I'd say SM her was more Chaotic Evil), Michael from Supernatural, Light from Death Note, so pure so good, that as long as the end justify the means, it is all worth it, and us beneath them should be so lucky to as even look upon them.
To be completely fair the plague doctor is like a average Tuesday for the SCP foundation. Some of these things are terrifying, insane or usually some messed up combination.
Or harmless and funny, depending on which one you pick. My favorite of that is the rock that makes you incredibly lazy when you pick it up.

But scp999.
For the SCP foundation, SCPs like The Plague Doctor, or SCP-706, are another Tuesday. If they’re kept occupied, on their regular routine, they’re fine. Some are more like residents of a facility. Others? They’re too dangerous to even approach.
If you have any problems with the actions of the scp organization, take all issues to the scp ethics committee. I'm sure they will be super helpful.
TRUUEE I mean the methods are questionable but, I rather side with the SCP than the GOC

It entirely depends if he detects the illness in you. If he does you're dead, if he doesn't just don't get close and you're good.
SCP682 is a fan favorite with tons of lore behind it. Very fun. Also SCP001 has multiple options to choose from which range from fun to terrifying.

Thanks for this.
There's no true SCP cannon, but this variation of the Doctor is rather different to the original and most portrayals.

I've gotten into the scp's recently. The channel that did this one does pretty good work. So do you, Nux. Keep it up.
I would recommend, The Exploring Series of SCPs.
What they needed to use against 049 instead of guns are those neck sticks that animal control uses to capture wild animals.
They don't question him about the zombies it creates because they're containing like at least 3 other zombie plagues in their facilities
One of the cool theories Ive heard about SCP-049 is the pestilence is free will. Whether it's "correct" or not it's an interesting idea that explains why the undead can be controlled by 049 or just go classic dumb zombie

SCP 7601 the infinite unstoppable duck is by far the most ridiculous and hilarious thing I've read In years. I highly suggest the video of it.
I believe the rankings are:
Safe: Not harmful to humans, and possibly helpful in some cases.

Can't get sick if you're undead. Can't die if you're already dead.
It is theorized that the pestilence is entropy, age, decay or death
my theory is that the "pestilence" the plague doctor is talking about is really just aging and he cures them by turning them into zombie therefore making them immortal
SCP 049 was like "oh you talking trash? Guess what buddy, you got the pestilence and I'm about to cure it. Also The Volgun does this explaining SCPs thing way better.
I may be wrong, but it seems to me the pestilence might be the fear and denial of death. In the stories any time someone accepts their end and goes to greet it 049 acts as if they are either cured or at a lower viral load.
I have a minor theory that the "pestilence" is simply just people's emotions, mainly rage
"I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!"
I really want him to "List of things Dr. Bright is not allowed to do!"
Nux talking about anime to being a react channel. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Still love you nux. Your voice is iconic and is nice to listen to.
can't wait for nux to learn of the containment procedure for scp-106
Been surprised past few months with the content I know that Nux is yet discovering. He finally found the never ending story.
SCP-Illustrated is my favorite scp descriptions as the video presents itself as a secret document type and has much better visuals than the goofy animations
Either the Volgun or exploring series' introduction videos are practically required for a lot of the terminology they use. These videos will just assume you know them. Good luck and Godspeed on your trip through the rabbit hole!
Nux, you have no idea how deep your new rabbit hole is.
He wants to cure the pestilence he refuses to elaborate
8:25
rage isn't the disease but love is
Scp 682, The Hard to Destroy Reptile is my favourite.
This is so full of either misinformation or outright fabrications.
By this point he should've started with The Rubber or Dr. Bob.
Welcome to this little horror infested universe.
Happy nightmares.
I highly recommend you watch this guy more, starting with 682. It's one of the most popular ones.
the SCP setting isn't so much a 'good guys/bad guys' setting as much as 'bad guys doing what they think they have to' vs 'bad guys who are nakedly greedy' vs 'scary things of varying and occasionally unknowable motive and nature'. Some SCPs are benevolent. Some [i]seem[/i] benevolent, most are incredibly dangerous, some might be critical to maintaining reality, some might be the threat that can end all of reality. Many are seemingly understood, but none are [i]fully[/i] understood.
Some have already reshaped the world around us. If you want a fun one of those, I recommend SCP-8900, or 'Sky blue sky'.
Me when scp 049 :meh
Me when day breaks : "the sun is beautiful"
Oh shit, Nux is going down the rabbit hole of his family at the SCP….😂wait till he finds out, Angels, God, Machine gods, Happiness Jelly monsters, and IKEA are all SCP’s 😂😂😂😂😂
Knowing you like to analyze the psyches of these characters and think that would be a cool thing
There’s also some really cool SCP animations from Tales from the foundation
Though mainly the first ones
Hey Nux I love yours videos keep up the great work! A good scp for a next video would be The Heart Of Darkness SCP
When Day Breaks, is one of the few things to have genuinely ever made me feel horror, that the assimilation of Captain Keyes and the Daemonculaba.
I think he will get the most out of the dr wondertainment series. Start off light with the 6 ball.
"Who are the bad guys?!"
_Yes._
"Evil" he says...
YOU ARE NOT PREPARED
*petition for nux to play the SCP containment breach*
@Nuxanor For the next videos on SCPs that you will make, I suggest SCPs 2599, 2295, 053, 303, 187, 348, 191, 871, 956, 3092, 073, 166, 1765, 137, 920, 336 and 239. I hope that in the pile, you will find some that interest you ;)
Mr. Illustrated, the Volgun and the Explaining Series are the places to go for SCP Lore.
I believe there was an SCP that would doom the world to eternal torment without the voluntary sacrifice of human children. As in, the children have to want to sacrifice themselves and it was unknown whether they receive that eternal torment or not. So, yeah, Plague Doc is far from the worst.
Oh boy, since he's getting into SCP's now, i wonder how long it'll take until he see's SCP-2662, one of my fav's
Nux if you like Scp I suggest you look up Confinement it's a fan made scp web series that's honestly kind of amazing
You should seriously do the IKEA one, not sure if I'm biased as a Swede but that one haunts me to this day.
Calling the Thompson an assault rifle tsk tsk tsk. Submachine gun.
Not every SCP is evil like the Plague Doctor. Some are just objects with weird properties, such as the tothbrush (that's not a typo) that can basically vaporize anything it is used to brush. Some are kind creatures that are just too weird for the general public to know about, such as the Tickle Monster, a blob of sentient orange goo that loves to hug people and gives off literal contagious euphoria (lore-wise, the Foundation has considered using the euphoric essence it gives off as an antidepressant; it's that strong).
Also, God is an SCP.
I wouldn't call the Plague Doctor evil, that would suggest that it has a concept of what we is right or wrong by human standards.
@@asheronwindspear552 That is a completely fair point. A better word would be sociopathic.
There are a lot of monsters and other dangerous things in the SCP foundation.
I'd wholeheartedly recommend the Volgun series of SCP videos!
I've gotten into this discussion with other SCP fans about supplying children to certain scps the question always comes up which is worse to hand them a child or two so that they can be contained or to deny them said child and then have them break containment out there slaughtering hundreds if not thousands of children
this is my favorite scp to i am so glad nuxanor is watching this
8:39 this doctor try to cure the fear of death
Do you know...the Yule man?
The Yule man?
THE YULE MAN!
Forget all that noise Nux, look up the toaster.
Next scp 106 or an introduction to the scp foundation video would be great.
Interesting, I thought SCPs are supposed to be scary, or at least a little bit unsettling, but from this one at least I'm getting more of a mysterious, Doctor Who derivative vibes.
Ladies, Gents and Tentacle Terry, we got him.
A SCP dat i love not because is scary but just the character himself .
Like nothing dangerous but the fact thats a butler who appears ( randomly and mysteriously ) whit the sound of his bell to do a service make smile.
Hell yea my man nux is going down the SCP rabbit hole
I highly recommend TheVolgun's videos on SCPs, particularly SCP-106, SCP-096 and SCP-999.
I like how this is animated like one of those "educational" videos
If you are doing scp content, I recommend mr. illustrated. Especially the when day breaks series.
You mat check out the heartwarming yet tragic story of SCP-4999, which is my personal favorite.
13:00... like an angel or a god? A lawful good villain, Lusamine from USUM (I'd say SM her was more Chaotic Evil), Michael from Supernatural, Light from Death Note, so pure so good, that as long as the end justify the means, it is all worth it, and us beneath them should be so lucky to as even look upon them.
