SCP Recommendations that are NOT (too) scary
I did a list of recs for horror SCPs, now here’s my list of recs for those of you who don’t necessarily like being scared! Some of these are funny, some heartwarming, and some just good storytelling.
There are a lot I remember but cannot find. I might add to this list if I track some down.
SCP-1557: Giraffe Hell This is the FUNNIEST SCP I have read in a LONG time and I don’t know why I have never heard of it
SCP-5270: Press X to Bear This is the one that made me actually cry a while back and I have not forgotten it
SCP-3289: Smile Not scary, but extremely sad. Makes my heart hurt.
SCP-4711: Inconvenience Store Exactly what it sounds like, and it’s hilarious
SCP-4254: Elvis? Okay, I really like this one for some reason, it is a Little creepy, but I don’t really consider it “horror” predominantly. Some SCPs have a narrative to them that resolves itself into some sort of realization that brings sense to previous things, and some of them are just “Wouldn’t it be fucked up if…” This, I think, is one of the latter.
SCP-4009: Big Brozart Is Watching You THIS IS SO WEIRD I DON’T UNDERSTAND AT ALL how would you even come up with the idea of writing this just WHAT
SCP-1171: HUMANS GO HOME This is a pretty popular one that is commonly recommended, but in case you haven’t read it: it’s an anomalous entity that is just racist toward humans. Incredibly funny.
SCP-2006: Too Spooky This one is also pretty popular. It is a little bit chilling when you think of the implications, but mostly just kinda hilarious.
SCP-3181: Lemme Get it Boneless An anomalous KFC where things are designated “boneless” or “not boneless” by seemingly arbitrary criteria, having little to do with bones.
SCP-3556: Durbal, the Rude Sticky Note Just a sticky note that is a complete asshole. Content warning for…a guy being emotionally abused by a sticky note? I don’t know, it’s kinda messed up. But still a funny read
SCP-4478: STAIRSCASE Short, kinda turned my brain inside out a little.
SCP-4048: We need to talk about your forklift certification If you choose to read one of the SCPs on this list, please let it be this one. One of the most hilarious articles on the site without a doubt.
SCP-586: Inscribable Object Some SCPs’ anomalous qualities affect the way that they can be described or that information can be shared about them—including the SCP articles themselves. Which means there are a lot of fun SCP articles that are “format screws” written and formatted in a way that implies that the SCP is influencing the article. This is a short and funny example.
SCP-1699: Inferior Volcano A funny and sort of cute SCP about a sentient volcano with self esteem issues.
SCP-2295: The Bear with a Heart of Patchwork BROKE my HEART
Some of the site’s best storytelling. I lied this one does have horror elements but it didn’t really fit in the other rec list, so here ya go.
SCP-3939: This is, like, Choose-Your-Own-SCP. It’s recommended to go through it a few times.
