The antimemetics division is actually one of my favorite canons of all time. Marion Wheeler is a great character and a lot of fun to read, and some of the stories they tell are trippy as hell and honestly pretty terrifying.
One you didn't mention was SCP 1504: Joe Schmoe. This is a guy who is mostly ignored. He is considered ordinary and boring when he IS acknowledged, and it is slowly driving him insane. When interviewed by a researcher, his name is recorded as Joe, a white guy of average height and build. Yet what "Joe" is actually saying is litany of bitter complaints of the pointlessness of the interview since nothing of what he actually says or does will be acknowledged. He punctuates his point by punching the researcher in the face. The researcher thinks he got a spontaneous nose bleed and that Joe made an offhand remark about changing air pressure due the weather. Joe angrily complains that he could tell the researcher that he is going to rape and murder the researcher's wife, and then carry out that threat, and even that wouldn't be enough to make the researcher truly SEE him. The researcher thinks that they are making banal small talk. The article notes that the facility Joe was nominally "contained" at suffered a series of fatal accidents among the staff that were, as far as anyone can tell, totally unrelated. It was only some time after Joe escaped that the Foundation realized what was going on and began trying to recapture Joe. The challenge is not just in finding someone everyone ignores, but in constantly reminding themselves that his recapture is important.

One thing I don't quite understand is why doesn't one of the people entering the chamber just write a note with instructions and telling them not to look into it and leave the chamber without memories and then viola, problem solved?
@@roguepsykerhaaker4813 because SCP 3125 is not contained, and is actively taking over humanity and thus is something that the foundation cannot ignore. Even if one doesn't look into it, it already manifests in the form of other anti-memetic anomalies, and is considered the "root" of all anti-memetic dangers such as SCP 4739. So, not looking into it will kinda not solve anything at all.
@@siriusli5674 I meant with instructions on how to solve the problem and also telling them not to look into it or they'll die, sorry that my comment was extremely poorly worded
@@roguepsykerhaaker4813 One of the Tales involved said that building the machine "would be like building and launching Apollo 11 without a single engineer deducing that the moon existed". Basically the problem is so impossibly big and complex that it can't be solved by one person, or without knowing what you're doing. The very machine itself will tell you what you're planning to do with it.
I like to think that the foundation makes the Anti-memetics department, forgets it exists and then makes a new one, so there are just dozens of Anti-Memetics divisions in the foundation and new ones just spring up once in a while.
Isn't that quite literally what happened? 3125 was discovered, they were all essentially erased, and then the next iteration was Wheeler's department? Edit: Oh you meant at the same time. That /would/ be hilarious, but as Wheeler once mentioned to an O5, you can't forget your Mnestics.
A deity of memetics and antimemetics. on par with others like mekhane and yaldabaoth. With its own cult and followers. Yet this one scares me far more than any other deity. More unstoppable.
There's only one being more poweful than 3125 in these metaphysical terms, is the Anafabula (SCP-2747). It's a very haunting article, and in the tale "Why Five Is Afraid of Seven", they have some interesting interactions.

Slimeustas yeah, you can call it “God’s Presence” that feeling that there is something greater watching over you but you have no idea who or what or why just that it is there, probably.
The Metal Gear series has its own version of an anti meme if you think about it. In mgs2, there's this thing called the patriot ai, an ai developed by a shadowy organisation called the patriots made in order to govern the American state. What that lead to however, was the ai censoring certain facts in order to create a new context to events and change the will of the people within America. This means it essentially stops certain memes from spreading, making it a sort of causation for anti memes. Also abligitory monsoon from metal gear rising reference
I'd call it not anti-meme but a counter-meme. It doesn't meme1 "anti," but do another meme2, Which takes full notice instead of the meme1. Anti-meme As a password, you won't tell anyone easily. Counter meme like... A new meme that overshadows the previous one.
About SCP 055: It’s stuck in a Faraday Cage according to containment procedures. A Faraday cage is an an enclosed space surrounded with a material that blocks electromagnetic signals from entering it. Perhaps we can infer that SCP 055 is some form of electromagnetic device, possibly a cellphone, radio, or other communication device that can use its signals to spread its memory affecting anomaly. That, or this “third party” wants to prevent signals from reaching it in fear that electromagnets will actually interfere with the anomaly. Granted, it’s implied by the document that no one can actually remember the containment procedures long after reading it, so maybe this isn’t actually very helpful.
It can also be combined with 579 to… we’re not actually sure, but it seems to return the universe to an earlier state. A couple of stories where the world is overrun by something use that as the last-resort reset button. The only clue we have about how it works is the phrase “can’t fit square pegs in round holes”.
3125 sounds like that lovecraft mythos thing that lives out in space or wherever that when you think of it then it can somehow smell you and track you down and... welll.-..
If you’re telling me that a deep fried image of a King Crab with the caption “Silence liberal” carries cultural value, then I wholeheartedly agree with you.
The beauty of this video and the power of memes is that you can kind of get the "vibe" of the images as the SCP is explained. Like, there's no text but I somehow get the joke that no one acknowledges exists
In other words, this vid is an antimemetic SCP itself
This SCP reminds me of a horror movie called Pontypool - it's about this group of people that are at a radio station and discover people are turning violent and only repeating a single random word over and over again before they die. It turns out some Lovecraftian thing is infecting the English language and if you say the word too many times it infects you too and you become its slave. Really creepy stuff and I highly recommend watching it if you're a fan Lovecraft.
I remember in one video you mentioned a plan to bring two anti-memetic SPC together in a way like fitting round pegs into square holes that will force soft reset on the Universe, it was the one with aliens that conquered the world to catch one criminal.
If you think Antimemetics are hard to wrap your head around; try reading articles about Pataphysics. Two good examples are SCP-2747 (which should be covered here) and SCP-3500.
The Anti Memetic division is one if not my favorite story line in all of the scp wiki. It’s really well written, even if the later part goes really far and trippy. It’s unique, messes with your head pretty hard, but it’s really fun to experience, as it’s very plot twist driven, and you really feel for the characters, can’t recommend it enough.
>begins the video by attempting to explain how a meme isn't just funny-pictures related to an internet joke. >proceeds to use said funny-pictures to help flavor his discussion of notable SCP anti-memes. absolutely legendary
My favorite anti-meme was the song by the world's most popular rock band that made people forget and become unable to perceive all information relating to them. scp-3933
I love the reality/ mind bending SCP lore. When you started talking about 3211 I actually paused the vid to go read the file and for me it’s described as a pair of gloves where whatever you put in the right hand comes out of the subjects mouth and the left one it goes down the subjects throat. I read all of it and then the 6 minute timer was up and the information on the file changed drastically. Now it’s described more as a toaster or a number of other objects. I don’t have a huge point other than how weird and absolutely awesome this SCP is. Thanks for showing me another good one. I’ve been into SCPs for years but I’m new to your channel love the content.
I'm currently working on an SCP that has advanced eyesight, perceptive intelligence, and sophisticated genetic memory (subsequent generations of said SCP are capable of retaining general memories to form complex instincts) making it capable at detecting anomalies that don't adhere to the laws of physics, and being highly resistant to amnestics. However it is highly susceptible to cognitohazards (and mimetic hazards if said info was learned from a progenitor in the past). This video is of great help as it further allows me to understand the depth of these concepts.
There's actually a good bit we know about SCP-055. For one: we not it's not a sphere we also know it's not too big and it can be safely contained in a modified briefcase it's not too heavy and if it interacts with SCP-579, it can reboot time back to a set point...
The term and concept of "meme" was coined by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene". The study of memes, memetics, became an academic doctrine during the 1990s. I don't know how this translates in the Foundationverse. Could this means that research into memes and memetic prevention only go as back as the last 40 or so years and that the Foundation had no effective means to counter anomalous memes until ~25 years ago.
I think the still dealt with anti-memetics. The termonology was just clarified or popularised by Dawkins, as it describes something that was already happening.
I've been coming back to this material many times since I first saw it, as every time I think about it I can't recall any details. To be honest I can't even remeber how many times I've been listening to this one... But it definitely was not a round number
A: (beginning of the video) *What is a meme?* B: Go down this rabbit hole (points at it). A: Wow, it's... I can't see the bottom. B: You're never getting out of it...... you don't even have to....
I loved the part of 3125 where they said that literally everyone had anti-memetic research institutes and how 3125 just eliminated all of them because all anti-memetic and memetic research led to 3125 and by perceiving it they all disintegrated, leaving the anti-memetic division as the sole vanguard (fuck, he mentioned it in the vid....feel free to ignore this)
I have apparently stumbled upon that video in the past, watched it, thumbed it up, and even liked some of the comments... It goes without saying that I don't recall any of that

nice job. this video itself is antimemetic. but it make my memos about uroboros series more vibrant and solid
The "There Is No Antimemetics Division" short turned out to be very cool.
Definitely been a great series so far, actually got me to start researching Antimemetics in more detail and that's how I ended up here.
Omnious music played over memes is really disturbing...
NotTheBoc RIGHT???
Also, the memes are... Well... Empty
This SCP reminds me of a horror movie called Pontypool - it's about this group of people that are at a radio station and discover people are turning violent and only repeating a single random word over and over again before they die. It turns out some Lovecraftian thing is infecting the English language and if you say the word too many times it infects you too and you become its slave. Really creepy stuff and I highly recommend watching it if you're a fan Lovecraft.
A great introduction to some of the most fascinating SCP's that I have read so far.
I highly reccomend the Antimemetic Division hub story: "We need to talk about 055"
I remember in one video you mentioned a plan to bring two anti-memetic SPC together in a way like fitting round pegs into square holes that will force soft reset on the Universe, it was the one with aliens that conquered the world to catch one criminal.
Neat, was looking forward to you touching on antimemes and the antimemetic division
Good quality as always dude, keep it up!
I’d love to see you come back to the antimemetics division hub as the story is now complete.
Oh boy, if it isn’t my favorite division and Giant Starfish from space that don’t exist
Do you see bodies in the water?
I sure don't
Queen Kat Oh hey, that kind looks like Jeremy from High School... *Oh shit oh fuck oh God [HAZARDOUS MEMETIC EXPLETIVE REDACTED]*
I love how the whole video is a slide show of actual memes
If you think Antimemetics are hard to wrap your head around; try reading articles about Pataphysics.
Two good examples are SCP-2747 (which should be covered here) and SCP-3500.
The Anti Memetic division is one if not my favorite story line in all of the scp wiki. It’s really well written, even if the later part goes really far and trippy. It’s unique, messes with your head pretty hard, but it’s really fun to experience, as it’s very plot twist driven, and you really feel for the characters, can’t recommend it enough.
Thank you for talking about my favorite concept in scp
>begins the video by attempting to explain how a meme isn't just funny-pictures related to an internet joke.
>proceeds to use said funny-pictures to help flavor his discussion of notable SCP anti-memes.
absolutely legendary
Please please PLEASE cover the Marian Wheeler series.
The old memes in the beginning contrasting the scary noise and tone made the video really fucking hilarious
Listens to scp podcast: exploring series: I hate memes.
Watches this: meme images
1:50 - "Yo dawg, we heard you like containment so we got a contained your containment facility with a contained containment facility."
This reminded me of the antimemetics squad ! Do we even have an antimemetics squad ? IDK what was i even talking about ?
We don't have an antimemetics division.
I don't like 055 it has become ironically enough a living meme
That's why i said ironically
I get it, i still stand for what i said thank you
You are suppose to not know thats the while gimmick of 055
@@kordelshorgar122 umm what is SCP 055 i don't think we have one
exactly
Thank you for doing this. Antimemetics is my favorite department!
All these images of old memes with the ominous music playing is funnier than any meme being created these days
Foundation Antimemetics Division - Foundation Counterconceptual Division
The Spiderman meme except no one can see the other
My favorite anti-meme is that one scp that is like you dont remember what it is and like yeah, its something like that
I lost it when the voice over said "senior staff member" while the picture of a granny was on-screen 16:11
My favorite anti-meme was the song by the world's most popular rock band that made people forget and become unable to perceive all information relating to them. scp-3933
The memes with no text actually gave this video a really unnerving quality, I feel. Like something familiar but wrong.
I love the reality/ mind bending SCP lore. When you started talking about 3211 I actually paused the vid to go read the file and for me it’s described as a pair of gloves where whatever you put in the right hand comes out of the subjects mouth and the left one it goes down the subjects throat. I read all of it and then the 6 minute timer was up and the information on the file changed drastically. Now it’s described more as a toaster or a number of other objects. I don’t have a huge point other than how weird and absolutely awesome this SCP is. Thanks for showing me another good one. I’ve been into SCPs for years but I’m new to your channel love the content.
I'm currently working on an SCP that has advanced eyesight, perceptive intelligence, and sophisticated genetic memory (subsequent generations of said SCP are capable of retaining general memories to form complex instincts) making it capable at detecting anomalies that don't adhere to the laws of physics, and being highly resistant to amnestics. However it is highly susceptible to cognitohazards (and mimetic hazards if said info was learned from a progenitor in the past). This video is of great help as it further allows me to understand the depth of these concepts.
14:16
It's like that one nietzche quote, stare into the abyss and the abyss stares into you
The logo stays in my vision for a second when I look away from the screen, groovy
That's because it's a meme
It's all in your head
There's actually a good bit we know about SCP-055.
For one: we not it's not a sphere
we also know it's not too big and it can be safely contained in a modified briefcase
it's not too heavy
and if it interacts with SCP-579, it can reboot time back to a set point...
The term and concept of "meme" was coined by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene". The study of memes, memetics, became an academic doctrine during the 1990s.
I don't know how this translates in the Foundationverse. Could this means that research into memes and memetic prevention only go as back as the last 40 or so years and that the Foundation had no effective means to counter anomalous memes until ~25 years ago.
That could mean the Foundation suppressed public knowledge about memetics until Richard Dawkins declassified it
I think the still dealt with anti-memetics. The termonology was just clarified or popularised by Dawkins, as it describes something that was already happening.
I've been coming back to this material many times since I first saw it, as every time I think about it I can't recall any details. To be honest I can't even remeber how many times I've been listening to this one...
But it definitely was not a round number
Starting out the vid with some dawkins. Oh boi this gun be gewd!
10:44
“This also failed, proving steven crowder’s memetic resistance”
A: (beginning of the video) *What is a meme?*
B: Go down this rabbit hole (points at it).
A: Wow, it's... I can't see the bottom.
B: You're never getting out of it...... you don't even have to....
The memes you used during this video are pretty good, time-wise. :P
I loved the part of 3125 where they said that literally everyone had anti-memetic research institutes and how 3125 just eliminated all of them because all anti-memetic and memetic research led to 3125 and by perceiving it they all disintegrated, leaving the anti-memetic division as the sole vanguard (fuck, he mentioned it in the vid....feel free to ignore this)
I have apparently stumbled upon that video in the past, watched it, thumbed it up, and even liked some of the comments... It goes without saying that I don't recall any of that
Me at 3:00 am:Geez. Its late. I should get some sle....
The exploration series: where talking about antimemes.
Me: *SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK*
Another great video dude.
I will never be able to take the word “anti-meme” seriously.
Reddit in a nutshell
Only because internet memes are now synonymous with internet humor. Academics have been studying memetics for at least two decades.
anti-jokes
The word meme existed way before the internet

I stay up late on Sundays just for this channel
I BREATH THE MEMES I SNORT THE MEMES I INJECT THE MEMES TILL I OD
I O D
If you borrow my memes then you owe me
I could have sworn I’d already watched all his SCP videos, but for some reason this is the first time I’ve seen this one
I was hoping you'd include #MassaTruthetts (Scp 4006), that's a fun one. If that even counts as an antimeme.
fishboyliam I believe it’s not an anti meme but a probability based scp.
@@stormeclouds7010 Speaking of probability, what are the chances I'd have the same picture as the guy above you?
The Silence from Doctor Who is the best example of an antimeme in TV shows
