I would like to note that in some universes, the foundation actually had the brilliant idea to install self cleaning systems in the form of sprinkler heads and drains beneath it, thus removing the need to enter the containment cell, minimizing breaches. Unfortunately, only a few site 19's have figured this out to date somehow...
This kind of scp that would require human attention would found measures to ensure non-human intervention would not work. Some universes have it that the peanut would produce more shit than what the automated system can handle till it breaks.
@@secondsein7749 Actually, in the universe I'm thinking of, they had that same problem and the system actually went through several re-designs as a result. In the end, the system was on par with that of a sewage treatment plant and would even use chemical agents to break down the organic material into a more manageable slurry before being flushed several times a day. Pain in the ass, yes, but it can be done.
When you're in a horror story, you make bad decisions. The foundation could move 173 into a different room while the cleaning crew mops. Then they could blink freely, but then the monster wouldn't have a chance to murder. We'd have no story.
You would think that by this point, the Foundation would make the effort to seal 173 in a giant block of cement littered with motion trackers, seismic sensors and other things just as an added layer of protection as its excretions don't harm the cement, they just flood the room and damage the drains.
Yeah but if they do that the "waste, aka weird black sludge' that 173 produces would literally fill up the whole cube, plus when no ones looking it couldbreak walls as seen in scp 173 in whem day breaks, and someone NEEDS to look at it you cant juat use motion sensors.
The pressure inside of a cube like that will grow until the cube fails and the Koitern breaches containment. It would also be very difficult and expensive to keep replacing and would likely lead to many containment breaches in the process.
Who designed this site anyway? "Let's put the unkillable evil lizard at the same site of the lighting fast statue abomination and the doctor who can kill anything at the touch of his fingers"
@@exotic1405 I believe it operates on the principle that the Foundation is not rich enough to build duplicates of Site 19 to contain these anomalies separately...
Just wondering something , what happens when the crew is done with cleanup, wouldn't you be breaking line of sight right before closing the door ? And if viewing SCP-173 though a camera feed have the same effect as direct line of sight wouldn't it be much safer to have 5 people stare at the camera feed with multiple angles and have 1x D class that is ignorant of SCP173's ability cleaning the room , or even a team of d class cleaning at the same to reduce the cleaning time and therefor risk ? Another idea for cleaning , steel mesh floor with drain and robotic high pressure washers.
173 is smarter then it looks dear. Automated Ai? 173 poop somehow ends up in their wires. Grates? The poop solidifies and becomes unbreakable to even the best cleaning agents. Looking through a camera? Cameras go out from time to time for some unexplained reason.

It’s probably a bad idea to have the same teams assigned to the same scps for decades. People eventually lose their respect and focus on the situation. What I find so terrifying about 173 is that it would NEVER lose focus. It seems harmless, dormant but in fact it’s always waiting for a chance to strike and escape. It never gets old. People on the other hand, might eventually feel less scared around it as it’s not moving, and then they would fail while the creature is taking the chance with incredible speed. This scp is indeed never getting old, I love the stories about it so much and it’s still terrifying, just as it used to be 15 years ago when it was created. A simple but brilliant idea for a horror character.

I wanted to like this one, so bad. That pay off was garbage. Loved the journey. Hell the atmosphere made me forget the fact "so wait he's watching the statue for 20 to 30 years? There's zero incident. It feels off but the story was good enough to ignore it. Do i buy the boss would be petty enough to ressign someone for tkaing his parking space? WOuld he remember it and smirk "ha he's dead now." after that many years? It went from one of the best stories to kind of an eye roll.
The job I am in now has a position called SCP employee, no joke and I cannot find the acronym meaning but, back to the video. SCP 173 just wanted to congratulate the newly promoted individual with his signature neck snap. Weird we got two videos of 173 back to back. edit: well, technically not back to back but we did got one on Monday.
5:54 if i would see bright assigned to the same project as me i would either get my guard up as much as i can not to die horrificaly or entered 173's chamber alone and blinked
He isn't assigned to the same project. They were just working at the same site....which is probably still more dangerous than containing most anomalies.

After a long think, I have decided that, while the current look for SCP-173 is very good and more detailed than the original, I do prefer the original (maybe you could try the current style, but closer to the size and shape of the original). I do understand how much of a pain designing and animating these things must be though, so I don't really expect another big change to its design soon, or at all. As long as your videos are interesting and fun to watch, I don't care much about these little details beyond the occasional bit of feedback, and please don't feel pressured to do anything.
The thing with the original design is that the person who wrote 173 used a photo without the permission or crediting the original artist (since this is the OG SCP, crediting and stuff wasn't even though about at the time). For what I can remember, the sculpturer didn't mind people using his work for reference even though it was part of a bigger set of sculptures representing a personal journey, but the admins of the SCP website still decided to change the picture reference since it was against their new rules against art theft (or at least that's what I can remember). That's why so many pages, videos, channels, etc have changed 173's design, to honor the SCP wiki and the rules against intellectual property theft

I can't believe there is a another video on 173 how many stories or videos can there on a fast deadly killer statue or sculpture or 173 and also I love you guys and I love the foundation and scps for maybe a year or 2 years and I have definitely obviously subscribed and like this video
His slight was not one but many small ones. They involved his nonstop annoying chatter at work, eating the wrong people's things (aka NOT HIS) in the employee shared fridge, his being more bossy than his actual official authority actually gives him authority for, his parking space slights that he red-faced screams are his rights, his NPD personality, and his regular abuse of the company funds for his personal life with him believing he has the right as long as he writes IOU notes to The Foundation.
Nope. SCP Explained often has mistakes in either the reading or writing. You can see that he's referred to as 'he' multiple times, whether the 'they' reference is a mistake on the part of the writer or the reader though, I don't know.
Why don’t they cover scp 173’s containment chamber mirrors so no matter where you look you can see it? That way you could easily clean the room without having to stare at it directly.
They changed the design out of respect fro the original creator of the statue that came to be known as 173, not because they asked or anything just from respect I believe
I always wonder why it's only a crew of 3 everytime with 173. Why not make a walkway above the cell and get like 50+ D classes to stay up there while 3 go in to clean. Must higher chance of survival. Also, 173 can't actually escape confinement, only when the door is open. So why not improve the confinement space itself to keep it contained. Maybe try making a room at the end of a corridor with a set of 5+ doors. Some mechanical and some with basic locks. This way if mechanical doors fail then the locked doors would be fine. Then position guards at each set of doors. Ultimately you wouldn't have to worry about clean up this way, you could just let it "drown" in its own faeces and filth. If you did want to send people in just make sure the doors are locked behind, if they fail and die the monster still can't get out. Then later you can just send a retrieval team for the bodies. If all else fails just let the eyepods keep watch xD
Hold on, real quick. What if 173 was in some kind of… moveable Box. Such as the box is over him, not able to be seen. And can move TO them if looking at the box?
Why doesn't the foundation just give SCP in a glass container with a toilet for waste (in similar ways that humans have one) that way not only would it be contained but they can stop janitorial work

@An unknown uncontained SCP well yes, but anything can snap with enough twisting force. Concrete is good for support not twisting, and you can twist rebar, not easily by hand, but is do able. You obviously need some machinery, plenty of eyes, and a way to remove it off the ground, and create a twisting motion between its neck and head.

the derpy-ness was what was iconic to it and set the tone for the entire SCP mythos really. These vary obscure entities contained by this perfect version of an secretive dark industrial/military group is what makes SCP so popular. This thing looks dumb now, and overly threatening. The best thing about this SCP was when I would imagine the DClass being like “what’s this stupid thing”, just bewildered, but foreboding. Given all the mesurse being taken for thi silly looking statue. This new design looks like it crawled out of silent hill. I would never take my eyes off it knowing or not, it’s to creepy looking, in a way that takes from the story. Why have the same head too, I think that’s what is bothering me the most.

@@darthsion3253 that's the annoyance of no Cannon cause that was the plan at one point
The reason i specified take turns is because ethics
I wanted to like this one, so bad. That pay off was garbage. Loved the journey. Hell the atmosphere made me forget the fact "so wait he's watching the statue for 20 to 30 years? There's zero incident. It feels off but the story was good enough to ignore it. Do i buy the boss would be petty enough to ressign someone for tkaing his parking space? WOuld he remember it and smirk "ha he's dead now." after that many years? It went from one of the best stories to kind of an eye roll.
*they.
The job I am in now has a position called SCP employee, no joke and I cannot find the acronym meaning but, back to the video.
SCP 173 just wanted to congratulate the newly promoted individual with his signature neck snap. Weird we got two videos of 173 back to back.
edit: well, technically not back to back but we did got one on Monday.
We didn't though
@@Pumpkinsmasherok right, it was Monday video
that boss should be tasked with scp-173 for carelessly risking lives.
Why not just have 2 rooms for 173? Then you’d just move him when a room needed cleaning, and clean when 173 is in the other room.
Too smart an idea. Get 'im, boys!
Well, the foundation is...kinda stupid
@@benjaminoechsli1941 oh god, I've said too much. Going back to D Class.
Wow...what an impressive level of petty. And what a long, and mostly uneventful build up to it.
5:54 if i would see bright assigned to the same project as me i would either get my guard up as much as i can not to die horrificaly or entered 173's chamber alone and blinked
He isn't assigned to the same project.
They were just working at the same site....which is probably still more dangerous than containing most anomalies.
I love stories about 173!
Please finish the video first....
So, that poor guy's boss was just a petty prick who likes to bully his lower level employees? Good to know.

@@AxionZetaOne whats not wrong?
I know very well that the reason that they do the cleaning in such a stupid way.
It's because they would have no plot if they did it any logical way
After a long think, I have decided that, while the current look for SCP-173 is very good and more detailed than the original, I do prefer the original (maybe you could try the current style, but closer to the size and shape of the original). I do understand how much of a pain designing and animating these things must be though, so I don't really expect another big change to its design soon, or at all. As long as your videos are interesting and fun to watch, I don't care much about these little details beyond the occasional bit of feedback, and please don't feel pressured to do anything.
The thing with the original design is that the person who wrote 173 used a photo without the permission or crediting the original artist (since this is the OG SCP, crediting and stuff wasn't even though about at the time). For what I can remember, the sculpturer didn't mind people using his work for reference even though it was part of a bigger set of sculptures representing a personal journey, but the admins of the SCP website still decided to change the picture reference since it was against their new rules against art theft (or at least that's what I can remember). That's why so many pages, videos, channels, etc have changed 173's design, to honor the SCP wiki and the rules against intellectual property theft
@@Sweety-v1k what, so the peanut shape is canned now? I was wondering why it looked like that. The old one is better.

Seems like the ethics committee needs to take a good look at the treatment of foundation personnel, as well as the treatment of SCPs.
Well the "ethics" committee is sometimes nothing but a fluid joke apparently.
Agreed
The Ethics Committee only makes sure that everything the Foundation does with an SCP/D-Class is fir the sake of learning about/containing SCPs. They don’t make sure the Foundation treats its members ethically, they make sure that the Foundation only acts in accordance with its own principles, and does not treat anything with cruelty unnecessarily (keyword - unnecessarily).
@@reubengreen4279 so they act cruel, but not unnecessary, only then when they decide or Have to, thank you, now i learned something new and maybe Look foundation differently than before
@@reubengreen4279 Ironically, that means their job requires them to care more about Dr. Bright, than about the people who suffer from the literal list of things he's no longer allowed to do.

*Chefs kiss* Great line
I can't believe there is a another video on 173 how many stories or videos can there on a fast deadly killer statue or sculpture or 173 and also I love you guys and I love the foundation and scps for maybe a year or 2 years and I have definitely obviously subscribed and like this video
I honestly feel so sad for Jake he got Fat out of boredom he sounds depressed and bored 🥱.😢
0:20 “I can tolerate being responsible for the loss of countless lives, but poor hygiene is where I draw the line”
I hate how this ended, it makes me so fucking pissed off
Why dont they just use an Automatic washing system to wash the room?
Ah yes, the peanu- I mean, the anything but a peanut shaped statue...
At the beginning, he said "Director Fordham"... I heard "Director Forehead", and now I can't unhear it.
His slight was not one but many small ones. They involved his nonstop annoying chatter at work, eating the wrong people's things (aka NOT HIS) in the employee shared fridge, his being more bossy than his actual official authority actually gives him authority for, his parking space slights that he red-faced screams are his rights, his NPD personality, and his regular abuse of the company funds for his personal life with him believing he has the right as long as he writes IOU notes to The Foundation.
Correct me if I'm wrong but does Jake go by they/them? I can't be the only one that noticed the specific wording. ^~^ sorta neat!
They kinda messed up some script
@@seasar7409 I think not, the wiki uses they/them for this researcher.
@@ryanhernandez8324 after checking the wiki maybe you are right but like its hella confusing after watching the video like "who is "they"
So if a video camera is trained on SCP-173 while someone watches, is it still frozen?
Is Jake nonbinary? That's pretty cool. Anyway, great story telling- as always.
Not in the original tale, no. This was a liberty taken by this channel to alter the author's work.
Nope. SCP Explained often has mistakes in either the reading or writing. You can see that he's referred to as 'he' multiple times, whether the 'they' reference is a mistake on the part of the writer or the reader though, I don't know.
any chance you gonna do scp284 (The Twins)?
Why don’t they cover scp 173’s containment chamber mirrors so no matter where you look you can see it? That way you could easily clean the room without having to stare at it directly.
It's a great idea but 173 would probably break the mirrors when left alone in between 2 cleaning sessions.
He doesn’t move when being watched though.
It’s only direct line of sight, as far as I know. That’s why they don’t use cameras.
I thought 173 looked like a peanut, did I miss anything?
the original image is copyrighted so they had to change it
Something happened with the design.
They changed the design out of respect fro the original creator of the statue that came to be known as 173, not because they asked or anything just from respect I believe
the original author of the image didnt want his work associated with scp so he had it removed, 173 dosent have a canon design now.
@@agent0931 173 still has the same design and no one can change that
I always wonder why it's only a crew of 3 everytime with 173. Why not make a walkway above the cell and get like 50+ D classes to stay up there while 3 go in to clean. Must higher chance of survival. Also, 173 can't actually escape confinement, only when the door is open. So why not improve the confinement space itself to keep it contained. Maybe try making a room at the end of a corridor with a set of 5+ doors. Some mechanical and some with basic locks. This way if mechanical doors fail then the locked doors would be fine. Then position guards at each set of doors. Ultimately you wouldn't have to worry about clean up this way, you could just let it "drown" in its own faeces and filth. If you did want to send people in just make sure the doors are locked behind, if they fail and die the monster still can't get out. Then later you can just send a retrieval team for the bodies. If all else fails just let the eyepods keep watch xD
Scp 173 is hella strong, being able to break the neck of hard to destroy reptile and so much d classes in 1 room can make it easy to riot
And in some versions of 173 if it’s get too dirty it can clone itself and escape containment’s
And eyepods are still scps meaning they can use it for emergencies but not keep using it
Imagine if this whole time the Faeces was just a prank from the 05 council
Hold on, real quick. What if 173 was in some kind of… moveable Box. Such as the box is over him, not able to be seen. And can move TO them if looking at the box?
What happens if you try to record 173 on video while it isn't being observed? What would that look like?
Hello Buddy
If the SCP Foundation mounted *SCP-173* atop a jerry-rigged Roomba vacuum mop combo, -173's rooms could be cleaned while it remains inanimate
Hello
Good Idea
You Have cute dog on profile
@@Dante_xy7 Yes, he is a cute dog and a very good boy
@@TheBestDog good to hear, how old is he?
Why doesn't the foundation just give SCP in a glass container with a toilet for waste (in similar ways that humans have one) that way not only would it be contained but they can stop janitorial work
how has no one thought of winking
They couldn't just... Ask the dude to park somewhere else? Sounds like the guy shouldn't be a site director if he's that petty.
I love your video bro
They couldn't even give the man internet. That's so fucked up 😂

I am a big fan of you
A somewhat bad question, probably answered before. couldnt you snap SCP - 173's neck, if done right?
@An unknown uncontained SCP well yes, but anything can snap with enough twisting force. Concrete is good for support not twisting, and you can twist rebar, not easily by hand, but is do able. You obviously need some machinery, plenty of eyes, and a way to remove it off the ground, and create a twisting motion between its neck and head.
Congratulations you Are recruited to our GOI organization H.A.S.A.R.D.I by answering this message keep up good Job friend lets not let foundation over top of us.
@An unknown uncontained SCP we can, lol. I would gladly do so.
Why was scp 173 design changed?
copyright laws changed in wiki
Moral of the story: never follow in Dr. Bright's footsteps.
If they hated the guy with the mop and didn't care about dying, it would be an opportunity.
Imagine leading to all that just because you parked in a spot that your boss took (there is no assigned parking)
the derpy-ness was what was iconic to it and set the tone for the entire SCP mythos really. These vary obscure entities contained by this perfect version of an secretive dark industrial/military group is what makes SCP so popular. This thing looks dumb now, and overly threatening. The best thing about this SCP was when I would imagine the DClass being like “what’s this stupid thing”, just bewildered, but foreboding. Given all the mesurse being taken for thi silly looking statue. This new design looks like it crawled out of silent hill. I would never take my eyes off it knowing or not, it’s to creepy looking, in a way that takes from the story. Why have the same head too, I think that’s what is bothering me the most.

Could it be possible to use scrambler technology and does looking directly at it trigger its effect?
You know wouldn't it make more sense to just have 2 containment chambers for it. When on gets dirty just have the ipods help escort it. Then clean the dirty room.
The fact that they used elderly D classes, even though they've been used many times with an anomaly that moves and kills when not watched sounds irresponsible

And when he was looking for the button, the narrator just said that it would seal the room that he is in! He's screwed anyway!
