History WebAnimation / Confinement

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Very slightly with the Foundation, possibly as a side effect of it being PlayedForLaughs. Several "safe" humanoid [=SCPs=] are allowed to meet up and congregate relatively unsupervised, and even share quarters (which is played as being "not important" enough for their own rooms). In SCP canon, they'd be more likely to all be individually confined with socialization, especially socialization with other anomalies, something allowed only for their mental health and with prior approval from on high. Connor can also go just about anywhere in the facility and is asked to go there on his own, not escorted unless he is going off-site. In canon that would be treated as a ''very'' rare amount of freedom, mostly because of how many anomalies would take advantage of it.
** This is eventually explained: the containment facility where Connor lives (Site 95) is running a mental health program sponsored by the Ethics Committee, as an experiment to see if treating sapient, non-hostile [=SCPs=] better and allowing them a degree of socialization and freedom, would both make them easier to control and develop a better understanding of them. The moment O5-3, the Ethics Committee's leader, reminds the rest of the [=O5=] Council about this (due to his concerns over how Connor is being used like a D-class test subject and how cruel it is), the rest of the Council immediately votes to defund the program, much to his displeasure, basically for the sole reason that O5-1 thought that it was ''too nice'' for them to treat [=SCPs=] this way.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original SCP-3008 story, the various communities of lost humans trapped within the Infinite IKEA are generally cordial and helpful to each other, cooperating for survival against the IKEA Staff monsters. However, the IKEA tribes in ''Confinement''[='s=] "The Infinite IKEA" episodes are instead fighting a bloody war with each other, being portrayed as basically rival gangs of bandits and raiders trying to seize supplies and territories from each other. In fact, the plot focuses much more on the inter-tribal conflict, while the monsters are mostly there in the background.

* NumberOneDime: Played for BlackComedy at the beginning of Episode 3, when Connor is sent into [[EldritchLocation SCP-093]] to retrieve Dr. Wilson's favorite clipboard.

In fact, the plot focuses much more on the inter-tribal conflict, while the monsters are mostly there in the background.

** While she's still dangerous, Sanna (aka SCP-1836) was heavily implied to be the actual sea goddess of the same name from Inuit mythology in her SCP article. Episode 4 doesn't necessarily imply a different origin for her, but also portrays her as being on death's door by the time Connor meets her.

** Fernand in the first episode. What ends up irking him enough to kill Connor is thinking that he's being rude.

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: What SCP-1360 wants to do to Connor in Episode 3.

* BoomerangBigot: Connor likes to think of himself as an employee of the Foundation because he's not overtly freakish and his powers are relatively benign, unlike every nearly every other SCP.

** This is eventually explained: the site he's in is being run by the Ethics Committee as part of a mental health program to see if treating sentient, non-hostile [=SCPs=] better and allowing them a degree of socialization and freedom would both make them easier to control and develop a better understanding of them. The moment O5-3, the Ethics Committee's leader, reminds the rest of the [=O5=] Council about this (due to his concerns over how Connor is being used as a test subject and how cruel it is), the rest of the Council immediately decides to defund the program, much to his displeasure, basically for the sole reason that said program was too nice.

** Dr. Wilson, the doctor who sent Connor into SCP-093 to fetch his favorite clipboard in Episode 3, is seen in Episode 5 at Soulberg having [[FaceHeelTurn sided with the town's residents]].

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Averted. Dr. Wilson views his bosses at the Foundation as this, and hates them for it, but in reality they're doing logical stuff like refusing to let him send an entire Mobile Task Force into SCP-093 just to retrieve his favourite clipboard. He also claims that they do stuff like sip on champagne all day, when ''he's'' the one who does that, to the point that it's the only thing he has to drink in his office.
* OffScreenVillainy: Anguta is described as an evil spirit in Episode 4 by Sanna, but the only "evil" action he's shown doing is killing two Foundation guards who wanted to kill the [[BalefulPolymorph bird-version of him]].

** Mr. Pierce's death in Episode 3 is pretty horrific too, [[spoiler:with his body being essentially ''melted'' into the doorframe before petrifying]].

* ShooOutTheClowns: Mr. Pierce is killed by SCP-1360 in the middle of Episode 3, right before the episode gets surprisingly dark.

* DeadpanSnarker: Connor. It's hard to blame him, really.

** The SCP Foundation itself is portrayed as dysfunctional and disorganized in this series, reflecting some of the sillier or more comedic incident reports and canons relative to the more serious ones.

* IncompetenceInc: The Foundation is not portrayed as being nearly as competent as it usually is in other tales. The [=O5=] council, in particular, seems to be more invested in making crude 69 jokes than doing anything particularly effective, and, when presented with a department that yields positive results by caring for [=SCPs=]' mental wellbeing their response is to shut down the program and use the funding to hire more guys with guns.

** While she's still dangerous, Sanna (aka SCP-1836) was heavily implied to be the actual sea goddess of the same name from Inuit mythology in her SCP article. Episode 4 doesn't necessarily imply a different origin for her, but also portrays her as being on death's door by the point Connor meets her.

** While she's still dangerous, Sanna (a.k.a. SCP-1836) was heavily implied to be the actual sea goddess of the same name from Inuit theology in her SCP article. Episode 4 doesn't necessarily imply a different origin for her, but also portrays her as being on death's door by the point Connor meets her.

* InstitutionalApparel: Connor and (almost) all other humanoid [=SCPs=] are seen wearing orange prisoner jumpsuits with the Foundation logo. This may have been intentionally invoked in the very first episode to mislead viewers into assuming that Connor is merely another one of the D-class personnel, as they are often dressed this way in other SCP adaptations.

* AffectionateParody: ''Confinement'' as a whole is a spoof of the Wiki/SCPFoundation, filled with tons of jokes and homages to even some of the more obscure aspects of TheVerse.

* HorrorComedy: Generally a lot less horror-dominant than the site it's based on, but it can still get [[SurpriseCreepy surprisingly dark]] at times.

* MoodWhiplash: Much like the [[Wiki/SCPFoundation website]] it's based off, this series jumps all over the place, often within the same scene.

** A double one in Episode 1: Connor, our protagonist, is [[TheHeroDies killed]] by Ferdinand in the first few minutes of the show, although if you're familiar with the [[Wiki/SCPFoundation source material]], this shouldn't come as [[RedShirt much of a surprise]]. But not a second afterward, however, he suddenly [[ResurrectiveImmortality flashes back to life]], showing that this isn't an ordinary D-class we're dealing with...

* PaperThinDisguise: In Episode 4, Connor is transported to a site marked as a construction site for a "NEW LOWES", in a Foundation truck with the label "NORMAL TRUCK" hastily slapped over the SCP Foundation logo.
** In "Fine & Dandy," an outside view of the SCP building reveals a large billboard on top of it, saying "NORMAL BUILDING".

* NumberOneDime: Played for BlackComedy when Connor is sent into [[EldritchLocation SCP-093]] to retrieve Dr. Wilson's favorite clipboard.

* NumberOneDime: Played for BlackComedy when Connor is sent into [[EldritchLocation SCP-093]] to retrieve a researcher's favorite clipboard.

* BlackComedy: All over the place, given that this a HorrorComedy cartoon which parodies the dark, violent {{Wiki/SCP}} mythos. The main source of humor comes from the show's protagonist being an [[TheyKilledKennyAgain immortal]] [[IronButtMonkey punching bag]] who suffers many [[BloodyHilarious painfully gory]] [[DeathAsComedy deaths]], though of course many minor characters aren't spared from the carnage either.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: The SCP Foundation are portrayed as being [[AdaptationalComicRelief a lot more silly]] than they are on the Wiki/SCPWiki (usually, at least). Though despite the eccentricities and occasional incompetence from many of their personnel (even the O5 Council), they're still a very powerful organization that have somehow managed to keep the paranormal secret and prevent the world from being destroyed, even if they make a lot of dumb and deadly mistakes along the way.

** Episode 7 ("The Infinite IKEA (part 2)"): Connor successfully escapes SCP-3008 [[spoiler:with most of the Canopy Tribe (except Stanley, who was left behind for killing Connor earlier); however they all get [[MergingMistake fused together by]] [[TeleporterAccident the teleporting staple gun]]. Connor breaks free by getting himself killed, leaving the tribe stuck together as one big fleshy blob, whose imprisonment in the Infinite IKEA has now been traded for containment by the Foundation.]] On the plus side, Connor reunites with Natalie, and [[spoiler:Ian Steele is [[EarnYourHappyEnding given a new human body so that he can finally return home to his own loved ones]]. But Dr. Stavros finds something unusual about one of the tribe members (Stethoscope), which raises further questions. Meanwhile, Stanley is [[EarnYourBadEnding still tied up alone back on his tribe's former hideout in the IKEA dimension]], [[VillainousBreakdown where he's raving like a lunatic]] [[KarmicDeath until he gets unceremoniously killed by enemy tribesmen]].]]

** Episode 3 has Connor making peace with the fact that he is, essentially, a prisoner of the Foundation. Because on the upside, the company he keeps is always interesting.
** In Episode 4, after Sanna (SCP-1836) is reminded that her time is running out anyway, she decides to [[spoiler:leave for the afterlife with her ex-husband Anguta so that she can make peace with her father there]], leaving Connor alone and confused in the remains of her lair.

* CatchPhrase: The [[{{Nerd}} members of D.I.N.G.U.S]] have "Dude, no way" and several punny variants.

-->'''Connor''' Go deep in the A.S.S. and pull out the staff. Got it.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Connor is an SCP who respawns after he's killed. The reason this is a "spoiler" is because at the beginning of the first episode, we're misled to assume that Connor is just a D-class test subject being forced to interview SCP-082, and thus will inevitably meet his doom after the giant cannibal eats him... until Connor suddenly flashes back to life with full health.

* ButtMonkey: Poor Connor has to deal with a ''lot'', due to a mix of his powers and his job.

* TakeThat: In the second episode, Connor is told that the music on SCP-407 will kill him at least ''once'' during testing. Connor snarkily asks if it's Music/EdSheeran.
