Description: SCP-2029 describes a chicken egg of indeterminate 
age occupying a 946 mL (1 qt.) molded glass canning jar. 
Collectively, these two objects are referred to as SCP-2029-1. 
During initial recovery of SCP-2029-1 by the Foundation, the jar 
contained a 540 mL sample of dilute acetic acid almost completely 
saturated with what was later determined to be an anomalous form 
of hydrogen sulfide which maintains a solid state at room 


temperature. This hydrogen sulfide is designated SCP-2029-2. No 
anomalous characteristics could be attributed to either the canning 
jar or the dilute acetic acid sample, both of which were replaced in 
accordance with current containment procedures. 


SCP-2029-1 can be observed to continually produce SCP-2029-2 
through an unknown process, averaging 1.73 mL per hour. No 
commensurate loss of mass or volume is detectable from 
SCP-2029-2, in an evident display of ectoentropic phenomena. 
Despite an immediate lack of correlation between SCP-2029-1's 
mass and the manifestation of SCP-2029-2, it has been observed 
that SCP-2029-1's total mass is gradually diminishing due to to 
continuing decomposition of the object, as SCP-2029-1's mass 
decreases, SCP-2029-2 is produced in fractionally smaller amounts. 


The SCP-2029-2 form is distinct from normal hydrogen sulfide in 
several ways. The compound displays uncharacteristic toxicity and 
intense reactivity and corrosivity against even strongly aromatic 
compounds and nonreactive metallic elements. SCP-2029-2 also 
corrodes biological tissue with particular rapidity and severity. 


SCP-2029-2 displays catalytic properties during this process, 
converting sulfur and hydrogen liberated from water molecules into 
additional SCP-2029-2. This process has a side effect of liberating 
disproportionate amounts of carbon dioxide not accounted for 
through either the corrosive or catalytic processes. This 
phenomenon is thought to be related to the previously described 
ectoentropic property discovered in SCP-2029-1. 


These effects have been flagged as causative factors in a potential 
GH-Class "Dead Greenhouse" event if SCP-2029-2 was to come 
into contact with abundant biological tissue outside of controlled 
circumstances. This potentiality was recognized in the aftermath of 
Incident 2029-1.

SCP-2030: LA U GH IS F UN 


Item #: SCP-2030 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation-operated web 
analysis bot Delta-09 ("LAUGHSTOP") is to be kept in constant 
operation and checked for defects twice a week by a Level-2 staff 
member familiar with its operation. When functional, the bot will 
search a wide range of file sharing and video streaming websites for 
SCP-2030 and remove any manifestations discovered. 


Finding and isolating SCP-2030's point of origin is considered a 
Delta-Level priority. Efforts to locate the studio where SCP-2030 is 
filmed are ongoing. 


Description: SCP-2030 is an anomalous phenomenon that 
manifests as a television series. The medium through which 
SCP-2030 manifests changes depending on the most popular 
format currently in use; as of 2014, SCP-2030 most commonly 
inserts itself into automated DVD rental kiosks, file sharing websites, 
and paid on-demand video streaming services. Prior to 2012, 
SCP-2030 commonly manifested as a DVD set in video rental 
stores, and as VHS tapes prior to 2003. Thus far, no reliable 
evidence that SCP-2030 manifestations took place prior to the year 
1993 has been discovered; however, thirty-eight (38) seasons of 
programming are known to exist, implying that SCP-2030 has been 
active to some degree since 1976. 


The series’ title typically appears as Laugh is Fun, although 
variations on this name, such as Laugh is Life or Laugh is Laugh, 
are not uncommon. The series has no corresponding "box art"; it 
mimics art from other television series, often causing viewers to 
select it mistaking it for another program. 


The show is a hidden camera comedy series, showcasing the 


candid responses of various people to bizarre, disturbing, and often 
anomalous situations. Episodes usually run between 10 and 12 
minutes, and feature introductory and closing segments that 
bookend the hidden camera footage. No episode to date has had an 
end credit roll. 


SCP-2030-1 is a (presumably) human adult male that serves as the 
show's host, providing introductory and closing commentary as well 
as appearing to "victims" to reveal that they are being filmed for a 
television series. SCP-2030-1 is invariably shown wearing a royal 
blue three-piece suit with black and white wing tipped shoes. Due to 
the way in which scenes are filmed, SCP-2030-1 is only seen from 
the neck down, making identification difficult. It refers to itself as 
"Laughy McLaugherson". 


Individuals appearing on the show often react to the events that they 
witness with panic or distress, but appear immediately calmed upon 
the appearance of SCP-2030-1. This is true even when the 
individual in question has sustained significant bodily harm or 
witnessed a particularly traumatic event. Additionally, most recorded 
individuals seem to express some degree of familiarity with 
SCP-2030-1, with some claiming to be fans of the show. Research 
into whether SCP-2030 uses its viewership as its victim selection 
pool is ongoing. 


Episodes follow a particular theme that each prank segment alludes 
to. SCP-2030-1 introduces these themes at the beginning of each 
episode in an as-of-yet unidentified film studio whilst standing atop a 
bright yellow stage decorated with oversized geometric shapes of 
various colors. Episode themes vary from the mundane, such as ‘the 
beach’, 'pets', and ‘candy’, to the strange and violent, such as ‘mail 
fraud’, ‘arson’, and ‘terrorism’. SCP-2030-1 delivers a similar speech 
at the end of each program to close out the show. 


At the end of each episode, the camera pulls back and around from 
SCP-2030-1's stage to show the studio audience, which usually 
comprises the individuals featured in the episode. During this time, 
the words 'Filmed in front of a studio audience. Created in 
partnership with YWTGTHFT' are superimposed over the footage in 
white text. Research into the identities of the people featured in the 
show's prank segments has revealed that they are all persons who 


were Officially documented as having died or gone missing in the 
year they appeared on the program. 


Thorough investigations into the deaths of SCP-2030 participants 
have revealed a number of inconsistencies and contradictions in 
matters concerning the circumstances of the deaths. Additionally, 
exhumations of the individuals’ remains have revealed that all 
recorded participants' bodies are currently missing. The general 
consensus among researchers assigned to SCP-2030 is that victims 
are likely abducted after their use in the show, with their 
disappearances covered up when possible. However, no concrete 
evidence connecting the individuals' deaths with SCP-2030 besides 
the show's footage has yet been found. 


+Addendum 


Addendum: The following are examples of pranks 
featured on the program. 


Season: 24 (2000) 

Episode theme: Swelling 

Individuals involved: Macey Gersham and 
Kyle Parker — killed by a hit-and-run driver on 
09/18/00. 

Scene description: An elderly woman sits on 
a park bench, feeding nearby pigeons with 
seed from a bag. Gersham and Parker, a 
couple, walk down a park path and approach 
the woman. Once the two come within 
approximately 1.5 meters of the elderly 
woman, a swarm of pigeons fly into the elderly 
woman's mouth, causing her stomach to 
become severely engorged and quickly 
rupture. The couple express great distress at 
the event until SCP-2030-1 emerges from the 
elderly woman's open stomach cavity, at which 
point Gersham and Parker appear relieved. 


Season: 21 (1997) 
Episode theme: Margaret Thatcher 
Individuals involved: Doris Carter — died of 


ovarian cancer 02/24/97. 

Scene description: Mrs. Carter walks into her 
kitchen and opens a cabinet door, out of which 
falls a large mass of flesh. As Carter screams, 
the mass grows and shapes itself into a 
severely disproportional facsimile of former 
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom 
Margaret Thatcher, with its head twice as large 
as its torso. Carter rushes to leave the room, 
but the Thatcher creature leaps onto her 
before she can escape. It extends its tongue 
into the woman's open mouth, and Thatcher 
faces of various sizes begin appearing across 
Carter's skin. The faces proceed to recite 
Thatcher's April 1986 speech on the bombing 
of Libya in perfect unison. SCP-2030-1 climbs 
out of a nearby cupboard and points to the 
hidden cameras; Mrs. Carter smiles, the 
creature's tongue still extended down her 
throat. 


Season: 13 (1989) 

Episode theme: Squirrels 

Individuals involved: Melissa and Travis 
Englund — disappeared, last seen 05/12/89. 
Scene description: Mrs. Englund lies in bed 
next to a male figure, presumably Mr. Englund. 
A series of high-pitched squeaking noises are 
heard, and Mrs. Englund is awakened. She 
tells her husband to wake up, but he does not 
respond. She places her hand on his shoulder, 
but quickly draws it back with a shriek. His skin 
begins to undulate, as though something is 
moving underneath. A multitude of squirrels 
then burst from various places on his body, 
quickly filling the bed and crawling onto the 
woman. She rises to leave the room, but 
SCP-2030-1 walks in and turns on the light. He 
is accompanied by Mr. Englund, who has been 
skinned from head to foot but gives no 


indication of feeling any discomfort. All three 
share a laugh and the segment ends. 


Season: 13 (1989) 

Episode theme: Tracheotomies 

Individuals involved: Gary Turman, Lindsay 
Turman, and their children — died in a 
vehicular accident on 04/28/89. 

Scene description: The four sit around a 
dinner table eating a meal. Mr. Turman begins 
coughing and gasping for air, as if choking. As 
the others at the table begin to panic, a pair of 
slits appear on Turman'’s throat, allowing him 
to breathe. These slits quickly become nostrils, 
which rapidly grow into a full nose, which in 
turn becomes an entire second head, identical 
to Turman's original. This second head then 
sprouts a neck of its own, and the entire 
process repeats. This continues until eighteen 
necks and heads have sprouted from the 
original, at which point SCP-2030-1 steps out 
from underneath the table. Everyone present 
erupts into raucous laughter, including all 
nineteen of Mr. Turman's heads. 


Season: 37 (2013) 

Episode theme: Cephalopods 

Individuals involved: Rebecca Nash 
(surgeons unidentified) — died of complications 
in child delivery on 11/02/13; hospital records 
show no evidence of anomalous activity during 
birth. 

Scene description: A team of obstetricians 
perform a caesarian section procedure on Ms. 
Nash, who is in labor. The team comment on 
the size of the child's cranium and the amount 
of hair present on it. Several minutes into the 
procedure, a doctor makes an exclamation of 
surprise and drops an instrument on the floor. 
Muffled vocalizations can be heard in the 


background. The rest of the staff begin to 
panic as the head emerges unassisted from 
Nash, causing her a great deal of pain. The 
child's head can be seen to resemble that of 
American television presenter Ryan Seacrest. 
The child sings Row, Row, Row Your Boat ina 
female voice as it continues to exit the mother. 


As more of its form emerges, the child can be 
seen to have the body of a fully grown octopus 
(Octopus vulgaris). Once the child fully exits 
Nash's body, it continues to sing as another 
head begins to emerge. Three more children 
are produced in total, with the heads of 
celebrities Jack Nicholson (American film 
actor), Johnny Cash (American singer- 
songwriter), and Martin Freeman (British film 
actor), respectively, all with similar octopus 
bodies. Together, the four sing Row Row Row 
Your Boat in four part harmony. SCP-2030-1 
walks into the room and the show's jingle 
plays. SCP-2030-1 points to the hidden 
cameras in the room, prompting the 
obstetricians and Nash to begin laughing. The 
creatures on Nash's torso continue to sing. 
Nash then loses consciousness, presumably 
from blood loss. 


The following is a transcription of a typical speech delivered by 
SCP-2030-1 during one of the show's closing segments: 


Season: 32 (2008) 

Episode theme: Printers 

Transcription: Ha! What a ride, eh, folks? We've seen 
printers that eat, eaters that print, and everything in 
between! Makes you appreciate the old clunker you have 
back the office, doesn't it? No, printers may not always 
work when you want or need them to, but they sure 
make for some excellent comedy. And that's what we're 
about here: comedy. We're here to make you laugh. We 


hope you laughed. Thank you for laughing with us. That's 
what we're about here, doesn't it, folks? Come laugh with 
us again next time! And remember: LAUGH ... IS ... 
FUN! Good night! And laugh! And laugh! Just laugh! We 
love the make laugh. Make more for laughter so as to for 
laugh. Laugh with us. Laugh with us. (Studio audience 
joins in unison) Laugh with us! Laugh with us! Laugh with 
us! Laugh with us! Laugh! Laugh! Laugh and let us in! 
Note: Video cuts off abruptly and a black screen is 
displayed for thirty seconds. Laughter and soft, wet 
noises can be heard in the background before the 
program ends.

SCP-2031: Ant farm 


Item #: SCP-2031 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2031 shall 
be contained at Site-2031-A. Instances of SCP-2031 identified 
outside containment will be neutralized by MTF-Theta-88 (“Crazy 
Buggers”) with incendiary devices and chemical saturation with 
fipronil, bifenthrin, and/or permethrin. Areas of these occurrences 
will be surveyed periodically to detect any reappearance of 
SCP-2031 and re-treated as necessary. 


The property boundary of Site-2031-A shall be secured by 6m tall 
electrified fencing topped with barbed wire. A “safe zone” will be 
maintained for 100m within this fenced perimeter, kept free of debris 
and undergrowth, and kept under 24 hour video surveillance. The 
inner perimeter of the safe zone will be defined by a concrete-lined 
trench with vertical walls, 10m wide and 4m deep, filled with a 50% 
solution of chlorine bleach no more than 2m deep. No permanent 
structures are to bridge this trench, and any plant growth extending 
over it must be trimmed back. The 127 acre area enclosed by the 
trench is the “active zone” where all SCP-2031 instances are 
contained.
