 Item Number SCP-005-J-EX Object Class Keter Correction Explained Special Containment Procedures SCP-005-J-EX now appears to arrive spontaneously in approximately 15% of all humans and is no longer considered anomalous. Nevertheless, as a training exercise and as a public service, Mobile Task Force Gamma 5 codename Red Herrings are currently attempting to generate a counter meme that SCP-005-J-EX is quote, really annoying and should be suppressed. No other containment procedures appear possible. Mobile Task Force Gamma 5 personnel aren't required to perform an Allen prior test at least once per month to ensure contagion has not occurred. Description SCP-005-J-EX is a Cognito-Hazardous meme. It consists of the idea that a joke or humorous anecdote will remain funny once it has been explained. When instances of SCP-005-J-EX arise, all remnants of humor in the relevant joke are completely data-expunged. The following are extracts from the testing logs for Class D personnel testing positive for SCP-005-J-EX. D4698 You heard me say that it was a duck? Because that way, D2663. It sounds like you're crying. Boohoo. Boohoo. So then I say D7984. No? You know the people from… are really stupid, right? Okay, so the third guy thinks… D9909. Well, guess you just had to be there. But remember that Mike is a big guy. D2348 It's kind of an anti-joke. It's flying with the expectation of a punchline by giving the most banal motivation the chicken could have. D1003 Just a pun on explained, really. Not much more to it than that.
