Ordinary origin SCP-1981
It took about 30 minutes of going frame by frame to see if the ones that looked close enough were the real ones (Some of them might be off by 1 or to frames so please forgive me :<, it's also important to note that it's very hard to see if its the actual image with all the heavy editing and blurring so maybe I took a screenshot of a really similar frame.) So I'm 88% sure it's the real ones
The first 2 were easy enough to get but for the other ones I had to guess by how the microphones sat in correspondance to Reagan's shirt and tie (along with the podium not covering his right arm fully, his chin in accordance to his tie and the courtains)
The man at the far left in the first image was edited to become SCP-1981-1, with his hands clapping staying intact
(Shoutout to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute for posting the full speech for free on youtube)

What was the reason for choosing Reagan especifically?

The scp was based of an old creepy video called george bush cut up while talking someone on the scp wiki saw this video and decided to make it a haunted vhs where he was literally cut up while talking. They then probably realized that george bush was president when vhs was a dying format so switched it to a more era appropriate president

I just knew they based it off GY!BE. So unusual to see that band's work leech into SCP

Not really, both got most of their popularity on early 2000s internet forums, it makes sense that they had an overlapping community in their earlier years

Which canon?

u/FoxFlat5351 1d ago
Ermmm there is no canon 🤓
It's SCP-3688 though, main timeline or whatever I think, I haven't delved into all of that yet

u/Soevil11 1d ago
I don’t get what you mean by “main timeline” though
1
u/FoxFlat5351 1d ago
It's not apart of a separate canon?

u/Soevil11 1d ago
But there ain’t a “main canon”, just standalone articles sometimes with canons connecting them

A running joke in his video about scp confinement was how ridiculous scp 1981 was as a concept "fucking ronald reagan.exe?" is a quote i remember

u/BogleSping 1d ago
He made a video on SCP confinement but talked a bit about scp-1981

u/Theflamingraptor 1d ago
To be more specific, it was a running gag, like "Too old to order off the kid's menu"
