I’ve never understood why in genie stories where the characters know that the genie will purposely misinterpret what they say why they don’t write up an exact contract stating what they want in the most precise and matter of fact manner possible
YESSSS LIKE SAY "I want a suitcase that appears from nowhere on the floor in front of me, in this room, filled with 5 million intact and usable USD, in 100 Dollar bills, all which will be available for me to pick up and use with other people, with it not causing harm in any manner to me or others.
A new life seems like a win ngl. You’re technically not a D class anymore and you can relieve your past years, maybe without memory but if you did something aweful enough to wind up there then it seems like a desirable fate.
*Tell With the addition of a a description of a normal way of speaking and maybe ask as few things as possible. That would just make a persons brain explode from the information.
It's not culture specific, as even in Arabic myths, where genie myths originated from, they've ALWAYS behaved like that. Look into genies in other cultures & you'll find most of them behave like assholes.
I mean... this could provide extremely useful. Say, the guy reading minds, from now on, they maybe could translate any text, even form anomalous sources, like alien languages, by just bringing him in and making him read text written on some other D-class's forehead. The rapid muscle regeneration could have been utilized for feeding certain SCPs and maybe even humans and animals.
I love the idea of the traditional genie lamp story but using some modern lamp and it being way in the past so they see the lamp and just have absolutely no clue wtf it is lol
Some of those abilities can be useful in other ways than intended. If a guy has the ability to understand ANY writing that's on a person's head, it could be very useful for translating unknown languages or text from other SCP's by just tattooing the unknown text onto another D-class's head.
@@mrsheldon9134 I mean, it would require specific wording. "I wish you would be more like the Robin Williams portrayal of a Genie like in Disney's Aladdin, more friendly and more aware of the context of the wish being made by someone, and not so maliciously literal."
@@RAPTOR948Probably why the SCP causes you to mess up when speaking to it. So what would happen is that you'll be like "I wish I was more like Robin Williams" and then you'll kill yourself.
I wonder how effective that would even be: "Genie, I wish you'd stop being such an asshole" being taken extremely literally, I would imagine probably resulting in the person making the wish no longer having an asshole.
Zero Gravity Woman probably got off best. She'll have to exercise a lot to make up for the muscle lack of use, but just a few cans of aerosol or such to spray means she can effectively fly...indoors. There'd also be the option of figuring out how much weight she can carry, a simple weighted suit might give her some normalcy if so.
No she didn't. She can never go outside, and being weightless will cause serious health issues, eventually leading to death. She's screwed. The lucky ones are mind-reader and poop identifier.

Bob blessing us with another video. It feels like forever since I watched your second video as it came out🙏 I’ll keep watching as long as you want to keep going
The researcher after the first D-class made a mistake Researcher "great now we got someone who can say what crapped where who's damn idea was it to send that one in unprepared"
Easy mystery! The lamp, itself, is the entity. The genie is just a trapped victim that probably wished to have magic or grant wishes or be a genie. Then, the lamp made that guy into an eternal avatar
*The genie about to grant the wish but with a twist* My 20 person lawyer team about to write up a 100 page demand that can not be twisted any other way:
How I was able to be apart of this great channel because of an instinct to search you up, I’ve been here since the start and these videos just keep better and better.
Whoever wrote this SCP wasn't very imaginative, because the d-class woman who got anti-gravity is actually super useful. You only have to give her weighted clothes and you have a super lightweight person who can jump unnaturally high, drop from great heights without injury and run really fast. And by adjusting the weights you can adjust how much down to Earth she is. Or attach a drone to her, and now she can literally fly.
I feel like one person out of many being written in a way you disagree with isn't fair to call the author(s) unimaginative. To get this far they required enough imagination.
There is that time someone made a request of Dr. Bob and ended up having an eternity of Dr. Bob TH-cam content they were required to watch. The SCP Foundation provided it to Dr. Bob so the Doc could go on vacation from time to time.
I feel like they would want to observe the genie for as long as they could, so if he disappears immediately after a wish, what happens if you just stand there and say nothing?
11:00 That sounds extremely useful for tracking living creatures though. 12:30 is useful for translating dead languages or untranslated runes or languages. I swear SCP researchers are completely uncreative in their tests or experiments. Using a lawyer to write up the wish would be best, with a written statement the individual reads from after practicing several hundred times with marbles in their mouth and keeping away from the genie to minimize the effect. Surgery could be done on the lower section of the tongue to prevent cramping or shortening. Or how about using a recording to broadcast the request? There's a lot of options for experiments. They tested simple wishes, but no complex or detailed ones.
It doesn't consider those wishes and will weasel out of saying anything useful about itself. This thing goes out of its way to make you regret interacting with it.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Speaking of wishes, you know what I never understood? Genies! They tell you to wish for anything you want, and then they add some terrible twist. Like you wish to jump high so he turns you into a frog. What? Why? Who gains from this? The genie? Where’s the benefit? You should be fighting genies, man, not me. I’m not the problem. Genies. Genies are the problem.
I think the Lead Researcher us kinda dumb. When the D-class is unaffected by gravity, just make a suit that has very small rockets on different parts of the body and because the person is not affected by gravity, they cal fly very fast with little work on the suit's behalf because they don't need huge rockets to keep the person from plummeting to the ground. Being unaffected by gravity is insanely useful. Also, instead of making requests more vague, he should make them very very precise so there is no possible way for the genie to actually mess it up other than ignoring part of the person's wish.
Im surprised the genie isnt eating the lamp. In all seriousness i love your content. I also understand its probably easier/cheaper to use the same format for thumbnails but i do love the unique thumbnails.
The zero gravity one actually isnt that bad if she has some sort of prepulsion on hand, like compressed air, rockets, or literally just heavy stuff in her pockets that she can throw, like with some tweaking thats a halfway decent ability
@@theomaid that and all of her pockets filled with chunks of something heavy like iron, lead or bismuth and she would at least be able to get around with some practice
Not that bad? She can never go outside ever again. And one person commented that her zero gravity no matter what she touches cancels out. Unless she's inside a building.
@@hhds113 first off your taking this too seriously, 2nd off i meant like in context, relatively. look at how everyone else turned out with their wishes, she is alive and navigation, although difficult, would be possible
I’d say just say one word it will never mis interpret mastery meaning that your in control and have mastered what you wish the genie can’t fuck with you or mess you up even if it was literal you can’t be harmed you will always be in control nothing forced and it doesn’t have risks imagine being in information technology or a doctor can’t mess it up it will only help you lmao.

@@thorveim1174 Interpreted as the letter i's interpretation. That being nothing, since the letter i is an inanimate object at most.
Bob blessing us with another video. It feels like forever since I watched your second video as it came out🙏 I’ll keep watching as long as you want to keep going
I’m sure the genie is intentionally making it so the wisher doesn’t get what they want.
What happens if you say "I want a sandwich". I would probably get a witch made of sand and that would kill me.
The researcher after the first D-class made a mistake
Researcher "great now we got someone who can say what crapped where who's damn idea was it to send that one in unprepared"
Easy mystery!
The lamp, itself, is the entity. The genie is just a trapped victim that probably wished to have magic or grant wishes or be a genie. Then, the lamp made that guy into an eternal avatar
*The genie about to grant the wish but with a twist*
My 20 person lawyer team about to write up a 100 page demand that can not be twisted any other way:
13:45 bro its kingpin
gotta be honest, the "i dunno" one made me laugh
i love this genie
"uh hey man"

How I was able to be apart of this great channel because of an instinct to search you up, I’ve been here since the start and these videos just keep better and better.
@CrystalDevs what if beavis & butthead meets scp-4035?
I remember he had less than 10 videos when I subbed
I agree this channel is very cool
Whoever wrote this SCP wasn't very imaginative, because the d-class woman who got anti-gravity is actually super useful. You only have to give her weighted clothes and you have a super lightweight person who can jump unnaturally high, drop from great heights without injury and run really fast. And by adjusting the weights you can adjust how much down to Earth she is. Or attach a drone to her, and now she can literally fly.
Thing is, Rick and Marty covered this with Jerry in a sense and all it would take is a failure to make this fatal.
Just send her to my hero academy she'll work it out
@@detectivetap9119 My SCP Bootcamp
I feel like one person out of many being written in a way you disagree with isn't fair to call the author(s) unimaginative. To get this far they required enough imagination.
@@TrueLadyEvilChanFool
I knew that there's gonna be a genie SCP somewhere in the files. Looks like this SCP is that.
SCP-1481
Disappointing Genie is really just a bargain bin superpower store.
I wonder what the genie would do if someone said "Alakazam" in his presence. Wait ... Maybe that's where SCP-5254 came from.
Not only should you be careful for what you wish but also be specific.
8:10 of course it's Dandelion messing with genies again
he probably wished for more woman
The junior researcher should have asked the genie to make him beautiful. I can't see how that can go wrong.
You know what's beautiful? Butterflies.
Watch out for spider webs.
Or it turns him into a statue or a painting or a flower or something.
I love the humor in this one a lot. And at 20 mins :) Love it.
There is that time someone made a request of Dr. Bob and ended up having an eternity of Dr. Bob TH-cam content they were required to watch. The SCP Foundation provided it to Dr. Bob so the Doc could go on vacation from time to time.
I feel like they would want to observe the genie for as long as they could, so if he disappears immediately after a wish, what happens if you just stand there and say nothing?
Turns you INTO NOTHINGGGGGG
This sounds more like a djiin than a genie. Djiin twist your words to backfire.
Thank you for bringing us you're content
“Please give me the full ability to control probabilities”. No way to “misconstrue” it. You can do whatever you want once you get it.
Damn, 20 whole minutes? This'll be good.
11:00 That sounds extremely useful for tracking living creatures though. 12:30 is useful for translating dead languages or untranslated runes or languages. I swear SCP researchers are completely uncreative in their tests or experiments. Using a lawyer to write up the wish would be best, with a written statement the individual reads from after practicing several hundred times with marbles in their mouth and keeping away from the genie to minimize the effect. Surgery could be done on the lower section of the tongue to prevent cramping or shortening. Or how about using a recording to broadcast the request? There's a lot of options for experiments. They tested simple wishes, but no complex or detailed ones.
Has no one ever used their wish to ask the genie to "explain yourself"?
I would say give me a sketchbook that can fulfill any wishes of my choice
*[ Defines the word "yourself." ]*
@@thestickmansavioryt1941
Curses! Lol
It doesn't consider those wishes and will weasel out of saying anything useful about itself. This thing goes out of its way to make you regret interacting with it.
@@sayanbiswasfukoff Most likely probably turns you into a sketchbook.
Would've just wished for his freedom
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Speaking of wishes, you know what I never understood? Genies! They tell you to wish for anything you want, and then they add some terrible twist. Like you wish to jump high so he turns you into a frog. What? Why? Who gains from this? The genie? Where’s the benefit? You should be fighting genies, man, not me. I’m not the problem. Genies. Genies are the problem.
Someone just told me the grimace shake is now a Euclid scp
The guy who got the power to magically know everything about shit he looks at was really lucky.
I think the Lead Researcher us kinda dumb. When the D-class is unaffected by gravity, just make a suit that has very small rockets on different parts of the body and because the person is not affected by gravity, they cal fly very fast with little work on the suit's behalf because they don't need huge rockets to keep the person from plummeting to the ground. Being unaffected by gravity is insanely useful.
Also, instead of making requests more vague, he should make them very very precise so there is no possible way for the genie to actually mess it up other than ignoring part of the person's wish.
Someone needs to wish the genie was free or something. Sounds like he needs a vacation.
I need them to put the genie through scp 914 on the fine setting and see what happens
Im surprised the genie isnt eating the lamp. In all seriousness i love your content. I also understand its probably easier/cheaper to use the same format for thumbnails but i do love the unique thumbnails.
yeah this has been annoying me too
I would had said a certain thing of certain size x feet away from me.
Doofenshmirtz: A genie? The disappointing Genie‽
You need to consult a contract lawyer to go over your wish first before using this spc lol
17:37 and if he asked to be more handsome he would be covered in hands

Try a zero word statement, simply have a D-class walk up to it and flip it off see how it responds to that
Keep up the good work Dr Bob
What if, now hear me out, you get lawyers?
The zero gravity one actually isnt that bad if she has some sort of prepulsion on hand, like compressed air, rockets, or literally just heavy stuff in her pockets that she can throw, like with some tweaking thats a halfway decent ability
Or maybe a grapple hook
@@theomaid that and all of her pockets filled with chunks of something heavy like iron, lead or bismuth and she would at least be able to get around with some practice
Not that bad? She can never go outside ever again. And one person commented that her zero gravity no matter what she touches cancels out. Unless she's inside a building.
@@hhds113 She can go outside. She's just barely hovering above the ground. With a long stick, I'm sure she would be able to pull herself around
@@hhds113 first off your taking this too seriously, 2nd off i meant like in context, relatively. look at how everyone else turned out with their wishes, she is alive and navigation, although difficult, would be possible
Imagine some just said
Free Genie
seems like being chainsaw man in this universe seems to be a bad thing
Well yeah. The actual Chainsaw Man is a devil-human hybrid that can survive his transformation. The D-class tho, not so much
"Genie I wish for your freedom"
Ain't no way Will Smith is an SCP 💀
Counting starting with the thumb, daring lol
Also ngl I love the theory of Aladdin being post-apocalyptic to explain Genie's knowledge...
i would love to see how saying just the word “immortality” would go with this genie.
Maybe it'll modify cells into painfully regenerating eternally
I’d say just say one word it will never mis interpret mastery meaning that your in control and have mastered what you wish the genie can’t fuck with you or mess you up even if it was literal you can’t be harmed you will always be in control nothing forced and it doesn’t have risks imagine being in information technology or a doctor can’t mess it up it will only help you lmao.
You'd live forever. But what does it mean to be alive/dead? Maybe he would keep your conscience alive/trapped, but your body would die.
@@Megamanthemachine "Granted, I have given you mastery. Of what? Nothing. You are a master at doing nothing"
"Granted, you will be immortal in the historical sense. You will always be remembered as that one guy that messed up on a work interview so absolutely that you caused ww3"
Good video like always keep it up. Sidenote 13:00 start the chainsaw man intro
who the hell wished to be chainsaw man?
Being able to identifie where any poop come from is not that bad. He would be good at track down animal.
this genie is a lot like the genie from ninjago.
"You can wish it all away!"
Wow you are at over a million subs. I remember you commenting on a video from one the other scp channels advertising your channel and you were under a 100 subs. Your channel blew up man.
