Video summary
SCP-2842 is a Euclid-class anomaly described as a human male who possesses the anomalous ability to instantly identify images that social media users find humorous by simply reading account names in rapid succession. Upon discovering an online profile, SCP-2842 can locate and retrieve eleven specific photos from that user's history which they rate between six and seven out of ten for humor value. This capability allows him to scan thousands of accounts simultaneously within seconds, adjusting his selections based on the collective tastes of multiple users at once. The object is currently housed in a standard containment cell at Site-17 with no special medical or dietary needs, though he has been granted limited access to information regarding Mobile Task Force Omicron-12's operations under specific supervision.
The Foundation first encountered SCP-2842 after his arrest for assault charges stemming from an altercation involving another individual who falsely accused him of doxxing and stealing content. During interviews conducted by Dr. Steel, the anomaly revealed that he has existed for approximately one year since waking up in a stranger's house with no memory of how it happened or where he came from. He possesses a tattoo on his right ankle reading "Mr. Meme by Gamers Against Weed," which causes him to laugh uncontrollably whenever mentioned, and he admits to feeling depressed when posting original content because it lacks the viral success of reposting mediocre images found online. Despite having over three million followers across various platforms, SCP-2842 feels compelled to use his powers due to a fear that doing nothing would be even more depressing for him than continuing his current activities.
To improve SCP-2842's morale and operational utility, the Foundation proposed Project Crowd Reader, which involves assigning him four social media accounts daily to analyze alongside Mobile Task Force Omicron-12, also known as Nine Tailed Dogs. Under this arrangement, SCP-2842 uses his unique perspective to identify humorous content that helps investigators locate persons of interest or uncover hidden information about individuals already under scrutiny. The program has proven successful, with the anomaly assisting in identifying targets in fifteen to twenty-five cases per month while reporting substantial satisfaction from having a structured purpose again. Although he lacks formal education and pre-existing training which limits his independent effectiveness compared to trained operatives, SCP-2842 remains loyal and intelligent enough that leadership plans to resubmit proposals for permanent assignment once he completes basic schooling.
The anomaly's background includes references to obscure entities like Dr. Wondertainment and a list of various "Mr." personas found in an old document located in his apartment, suggesting connections to other SCP incidents or fictional universes within the Foundation's lore. While he initially expressed disdain for social media culture due to its repetitive nature and the lack of genuine humor in most viral content, his integration into MTF Omicron-12 has provided him with a sense of purpose that alleviates his depressive tendencies regarding inactivity. The ongoing collaboration allows both the Mobile Task Force and SCP-2842 to leverage each other's strengths, combining conventional investigative techniques with anomalous image recognition capabilities to enhance overall operational efficiency while ensuring the anomaly receives appropriate care and engagement.

Description:
SCP-2842
is a human male
roughly 21 years of age at time of
writing.
SCP-2842's knowledge property will
manifest
when it identifies a social media
account
for an incomplete list of websites that
qualify as social media for these
purposes.
See Appendix C.
It will become aware of the location and
content of 11 image files that the
operator of the given account will find
moderately humorous.
Operators typically rate the humor value
of images identified by SCP-2842
as between six out of 10 and seven out
of 10
where one is not funny at all, five is
somewhat funny, and 10 is extremely
funny.
When SCP-2842
identifies an additional account within
4 seconds of the prior account,
the set of images that identifies will
adjust to appeal to the holders of both
accounts.
In this fashion,
SCP-2842 is able to identify sets of
images that appeal to several thousand
individuals at a time by reading account
names in rapid succession.
SCP-2842
possesses a tattoo on its right ankle
reading, "Mr. Meme by Gamers Against
Weed."
SCP-2842 professes no knowledge of the
group,
though exposure to the phrase produced
an exaggerated laugh response.
See interview logs for details.
Interview logs.
The following interviews were performed
by Dr. Steel.
Several relevant excerpts have been
included in this document.
Dr. Steel.
So, you mentioned previously that you
only existed for about a year. Is that
correct?
>> That's as far back as I can remember,
but I just woke up in someone's house
one day. All I really knew about myself
was that my name was Mr. Meme and that I
could find funny pictures online. Well,
plus the normal stuff, you know, like
eating, hiding from the cops, Google
AdSense, et cetera.
>> I see. What happened then?
>> There was some kid there who was
watching me when I woke up. He was super
excited that I was there and he wanted
me to get him more followers on
Instagram, but I didn't really give a
so I just left. He got really mad
about that and I almost took his phone,
but I thought, "Nah, it's more trouble
than it's worth."
>> Do you happen to remember his name or
where you lived, anything like that?
>> Nah, sorry. I I only there for like 10
minutes. I wasn't really confident in my
running away from angry parents who
found some stranger hanging out with
their kid skills.
>> That's all right. What happened after
you left?
Extraneous data removed. In summary,
SCP-2842
utilizes anomalous properties to operate
a large number of social media accounts
using various monetization methods to
leverage his online presence into a
steady cash flow.
When we found you at the police station,
you had been arrested for assault. Can
you tell us about that?
>> Oh, it's a load of The other
guy started it.
>> The details?
>> This douchey looking dude came into my
apartment complex saying I got doxxed
and that I'd been stealing his tweets. I
mean, yeah, I probably was, but what am
I supposed to do? No ID, no skills, no
family, so on and so forth. Anyways, she
was dumb enough to start shoving me
around while he was at the top of the
stairs. So, when I pushed back, he fell
down like a whole flight of them. The
cops came like 2 days later since he was
pressing charges.
>> The individual in question, Andy
Police Department corroborated the
story.
Thanks for sharing.
How do you feel about all this?
>> It's all right, I guess. I keep worrying
that I'm going to lose all of my
followers if I don't keep posting, but
honestly, I kind of hated the whole
thing anyways, so it. Plus, if I
did get doxxed, I was pretty much
>> You didn't like social media?
>> It's all right when you're sharing stuff
that you like, but I know my special
powers don't find the best stuff ever.
There's only so many times you can
repost the tuxedo guy holding a sewing
machine in front of a crashed truck
before you sort of just glaze over it.
And after the 10,000th advice animal,
I'm pretty pretty sick of anything
written in impact.
>> I suppose that's not surprising.
>> I did actually have an account where I
posted original content. I mean, it
would be pretty successful by most
people's standards. I think 2,000
Twitter followers is good, right?
>> For a comedy account, sure.
>> Right, right. But, it took the effort of
10 other accounts combined, and all of
those were way more popular. I had to
shut it down eventually because I
couldn't afford to run anything that
wasn't racking up followers and clicks.
>> How many followers did you end up
having, by the way?
>> Across all of my accounts? Something
like 3 million.
>> What can you tell me about the tattoo on
your ankle?
>> Nothing, really. It's just been there
since day one.
>> What about Gamers Against Weed?
SCP-2842 starts laughing.
It attempts and fails to speak
coherently several times.
SCP-2842 calmed down after 4 minutes.
>> Sorry, it's just
>> [laughter]
>> that it's really funny. It
always has been. I try not to look at
that tattoo too much. It is that
distracting.
Uh but, no, I don't know who it is,
though.
>> That's fine.
Do you know anything about Little
Misters or Dr. Wondertainment?
>> Yeah, actually. There was a piece of
paper I had with me at like the very
start that talked about Wondertainment.
I
forgot about it until just now. It's
back in my apartment.
>> Note: See document 2842-5581
for further details.
You wanted to see me?
>> Uh yeah, if you have the time.
>> Don't worry about my schedule. That's my
assistant's job.
>> I know. I had the guard ask him about it
a week ago.
>> Sorry for the wait in. What can I do for
you?
>> Well, uh do you guys need help with
anything?
>> Like what?
>> Anything. Like don't get me wrong, it's
not like there's a shortage of things
for me to do around here, but there's
nothing for me to
do, you know?
>> I'm not quite sure what you mean.
>> It's like
I'm Mr. Meme. I find funny pictures and
I'm the best at being mediocre at it.
It's what I do.
>> I thought you disliked running of
accounts.
>> Oh, for sure I did. If my stuff was
actually funny or original, maybe I'd
feel different. But stealing stuff that
was just barely worth a share was
depressing.
But I still feel like I have to use this
ability because somehow doing nothing is
even more depressing.
>> Well, there was a proposal I made a few
weeks ago or something like that.
It didn't get approved, but if
inactivity is taking a toll on your
mental health, that would put it in a
new light.
>> Oh, well, let's hear it.
>> Extraneous data removed. See report on
project Crowd Reader.
>> Hey, that sounds pretty tight. Uh it's
like that one TV show.
>> I'll resubmit the proposal then.
Which show do you mean?
>> You know, the one with the guy.
>> Oh, yes. That one.
Project Crowd Reader. Summary.
SCP 2842
operates in conjunction with MTF Omicron
12, Nine Tailed Dogs.
Using its anomalous properties identify
images that are considered humorous by
the operators of social media accounts
that are of interest to the foundation.
This information used in conjunction
with conventional intelligence and
investigative techniques to identify
persons of interest and on occasion
gain additional information already
identified persons of interest.
In return SCP-2842
is provided with limited information
regarding the impact of its assistance.
Purpose to enhance the capabilities of
MTF Omicron-12
to detect changes in SCP-2842's
anomalous properties.
To improve SCP-2842's morale and
encourage cooperation.
Status
SCP-2842
is given an average of four accounts for
analysis on a daily basis.
In 15 to 25 cases per month
information provided by SCP-2842
assisted identification of a person of
interest.
SCP-2842
reports substantial satisfaction from
this activity.
SCP-2842
has repeatedly requested permanent
assignment to and training from
Omicron-12.
While SCP-2842 is loyal and reasonably
intelligent
and his anomalous properties are a
valuable asset
the absence of formal education and
pre-existing training makes his option
substantially less effective
than simply allowing him to operate in
conjunction with already trained
operatives.
He can ask again when he completes his
basic education.
