SCP Foundation

Not funny to me, and the joke wears thin after the second time the MTF name gets changed. This reads like an excerpt from a longer tale, and I can't really support it.

EDIT: To say at least one positive thing about this in here:

"Now that the entirety of Mobile Task Force Lambda-2 ("Adults Acting Like Children") are here, I'm going to begin my little talk about wasting my valuable employees' time with stupid office pranks and juvenile games…"

This is the funniest line in there, and I did actually laugh at this.

I don't feel like this adds much of substance to the previous tale, and it's not funny enough to justify a lack of substance.

+1'd.

I can definitely see how this entry won't work for everyone, but I quite enjoyed it. I also enjoy it from a meta perspective; it's anti-grimdark. It is very silly, though, more silly than the rest of the tales so far (and drafted), so we'll see how it does.

I find the way how they waste all of the Foundation's time by changing the name of the MTF really funny. And what it turns out to after the end. +1

While it may see a bit draggy with the back-and-forth name changing, I like the portrayal of character!Clef and Adams not getting along and bantering with each other in not-so-destructive ways.

Maybe they will end up as the "nameless MTF". It fits as a get-away from the wider universe, with something light-hearted and in-between the characters.

I have to agree that this doesn't really stand on its own. Read directly from the end of "Contingency", however, it keeps ratcheting up the hilarity.

+1'd. Given the "GRIMDARK" tone that the site has fallen into in recent years, the sudden burst of levity feels like it's riding the line of "too much" - which means it's working for me.

Keep 'em coming…

Nope, nope.

This is perfect.

I'd add a link to "Contingency" at the top to ensure people read that first, but as someone who read "Contingency" first, I like it. +1.

I giggled.

We have lots of spooky, horrifying implications, and existential dread, but far too little material that covers foundation personnel being actual people.

On its own it wouldn't be much, but as a small piece of a larger story it works fine.

Very nice, she thought. Cream-colored. Embossed with the Foundation logo. There's my name, and the Mobile Task Force Symbol, and the name of the—

Look at that subtle off-white coloring; the tasteful thickness of it… Oh my God, it even has a watermark.
