This thing is deeply creepy. I think that for me, what makes it is the "slapstick played straight" aspect.
This is so creepy, you've just heightened my initial dislike for those puppets… +1
My whole body started feeling a little weak half way through reading that….now my stomach is turned
why cant I upvote twice?
I never did grasp what was funny about Punch and Judy shows…
Seriously? Mindless violence between puppets? That's like training penguins to perform in West Side Story brawls. What's not to like?
I love this one. I think it could benefit from some kind acquisition story, but I do also like it how it is now.
Meh, not every SCP needs an aquisition story.

The line that makes me the most curious here is "Yes, professor.". I'd really like to know why "professor".
I'm curious as to why this is Keter… I mean, I love kinda like am unsettled by puppets all the same, but this could be safe if kept in a crate somewhere.
IMO, things that you can just lock in a crate and forget about, and everything will be fine as long as you don't open the crate, should be Safe. Euclid is for things that you can't just lock up and forget about, and Keter is for things that are highly dangerous and actively try to escape containment. I'm sure there was something semi-official along these lines somewhere…
+1 because of the incident log. The whole thing is good, and the log is excellent.
Should be Euclid, though (or Safe). Looks like Heiden isn't around, except on Active Duty?
Adjusting this article to Safe.
LAME
That said, this article has definitely stood the test of time, still horrifying. Imagine this in a horror movie….
