Any SCP articles you've seen that are obvious attempts at something already created?
173 copied the crying angel thingies, clearly.
I swear to god, if you're not joking

…Even if he is…
and 055 is Da Silence
I thought that once, but I believe 055 came first. I wonder if Dr who's directors found this place looking for inspiration…

It came first. The SCP was posted in 2009, while the actual Silence didn't make an appearance until 2011.
But really, an object that makes you forget things when you look at it isn't exactly an unheard of concept in science fiction.

*ahem* If you READ the FAQ, then you would know that SCP-173 came first. How ever did you get your application accepted…?
There were a bunch of horrible J articles on the old site that were literally just objects from pop culture without any sort of hook or alteration. Like Shadow the Hedgehog and an EVA. I think they were removed during the mass edit, though it could have been earlier.
096 is totally just from Mario. The author didn't even change the name. Come on.
Plus, it does have a few characteristics from "The Rake" Creepypasta.
…Mine was a joke?
So… If you take off those pleasant little fellas' masks… They turn into THAT?!?
E: Yes, I kinda knew it was a joke, but still, could that pass as 096's origin?
SCP-14682-J.
It was plagiarized from Reddit, and brought onto here from another user. One of our members here had confirmed that it was Kode47 who had originally made this, and they asked him if he had recalled posting said SCP on the site, he replied with a no.
It was later downvoted into oblivion, and Clef had blanked it out.
Actually, I just made everyone aware it had been posted elsewhere beforehand by someone with a different username. It could have been the original author at that point.
It wasn't actually confirmed as plagiarism until several hours later.
Just clarifying that I didn't confirm it was made by someone else at the start.
Possibility =/= Confirmation
butts
That was literally like five hours ago and wasn't even a ripoff, it was just plagiarism.
and wasn't even a ripoff, it was just plagiarism.
Tha' wasn't no theft, officer, I was just takin' some stuff!
before you think i am stoled this scp
let me explain you a thing
if your reading this your gay
I remember there was a crap article that many users pointed out was a rewrite of something from Goosebumps.
The fun thing was, the OP in the thread , by the author was
If you think this idea was stolen, send me a PM explaining it. Thanks :D
Constructive criticism appreciated.
And , when accused that it's a ripoff (it was during the time wikidot was dying on us), they ended up being SO EAGER to refute it that they triple or quadruple posted.
Yeah.
"Where are you going, citizen?"
"I DIDN'T KILL HIM COMMISSAR! I SWEAR!"
I remember one where the actual writer messages us to say that his buttmunch friend had ripped off his unpublished manuscript to make into an SCP. The SCP itself was some cane thing, I don't even remember what it was s'posed to do.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
There was this one time some clown wrote an article where the object was basically word for word a thing from jackie chan adventures, so there's that

SOULBERG.
Massive ripoff of Soul Edge and Nightmare/Siegfried.
I can't believe nobody mentioned the FFVII fire fox. That was the worst in my head…
