even his rants are interesting
Kraase The Sergal is it because his voice is so amazing?
It's a voice that could at any moment say something crazy and outlandish
that, and his animation style
kiss my ass poo
He could have been a great sports commentator in the 50s.
david firth: the internet homeless man
:(
UA-cam evicted him.
he was too weird for the corporate hotel complex
He has so much money, yet he never uses it.
Smh

You cheeky minx 😂😂
You cheeky minx your name and picture are bloody golden
Youre fucking bad ass.
Am I the only one who loves his voice?
Ikr? It's oddly calming.
Northern I think
yes
I also like his voice...
@@Dan-nj8iz Doncaster I believe
Everyone who is supporting me: You're amazing. People who aren't: you're probably pretty good too. People trying to kill me: I forgive you. I didn't expect so many to jump on this so quickly. I was going to make my first release be another News Hasn't Happened but I think I have a better idea. You'll see sometime in May. This is just a heads-up. Want to get a piece of the action? then come and join me on Patreon. LINK IN DESCRIPTION - also here www.patreon.com/davidfirth
David Firth I want so much to support you! Here in Brazil things are a bit difficult but I'll keep trying to donate you something. Thanks for your art.
Thanks so much for the update, David! :D
Just wondering though: Will this new work of yours, along with other ones, still be uploaded to UA-cam, as stupidly annoying of a platform as it can be?
Anyway, I thank you for your true pieces of art, as well. :)
David Firth you're amazing
David Firth I'll give you some money you lovely mad man you.
David I love you and your animations you are original and truly the best I would proudly donate some money you deserve it
Out of all the UA-camrs asking for donations right now, I am most likely to donate to David Firth. His videos have been a part of my life for like 10 years. I remember finding these videos in high school, and they tickled my fancy quite a bit!
Exactly! They're what fucked me up as a child. And I'm forever thankful.
Same here. My High School years were spent watching David Firth's videos on Fat-Pie and Marc M. videos on Sick Animation.
JulietsaJuJu Same I was barely entering middle school when I discovered his works
Same thought going through my head also, I think his old stuff (back when all the best gems were to be found on Fat-Pie dot com) helped me through some depression, indulging in bizarre content that was far too disturbing and depressing then my own life at the time!
JulietsaJuJu tikkkld yuor wut?..
Who thinks David should make a unique creepy indie game?
Check out The Cat Lady if you haven't, it has that Firth feel to it and he is one of the voice actors as well.
(By the way it looks like it's 50% off on Steam right now)
Actually, He already has his own indie game of salad fingers! (Not sure if its fanmade though)
Yes using the hyper realistic picture animation like on cream and weird stuffed plot like the three skinned man
@@metamay Actually unless Im mistaken he did voice for two of the characters, that pest control guy and his wife
You are the first person I've ever actually felt compelled to pay for your content, simply because I think you deserve it.
You deserve it.
If I wasn't in poverty, struggling month to month, I'd pay you. I really would.
Hopefully if my job works out in the next few months, I will actually get to fulfill that promise. I'm here for you David. I'm looking out for you.
did u get your job in the end?
so what happened?
Did you died
KellySmith555 what happened??
He fed himself to david,he broke his promise...payment all the same
salad fingers unboxing confirmed
lol oh shit it u Cyranek
Oh
i want to see salad fingers unbox a casket
I remember years ago when advertisements were first introduced to UA-cam. All skip-able and all under 30 seconds long. People said it would completely ruin the platform, but the majority of users were optimistic and thought this sentiment was something of an overreaction. Look where we are today! Advertising ruins pretty much everything it touches.
Capitalism*
Now UA-cam puts two ads in one sitting, ya can’t skip em. AND THEY’RE LONGER THEN 30 SECONDS!
@@afailureofaanimator6744 no surprise that they're slowly but surely conditioning viewers to accept this as the new norm, probably gonna get even worse in the future. Not a very rare thing in modern society
@@doublevision2943 look what already happened to television: it's commercials half of the time and that's really obnoxious
@@doublevision2943 worst part is, there’s no competitor to UA-cam. There’s no incentive for them to improve apart from as David Firth says “Those lovele advert coin men is their lovele lovele suits.”
I really would like to see a Salad Fingers unboxing video...
SpoooOOOooooOoooonnnssssssssss
"What's up guys today we will be unboxing some rusty beautiful spoooonss!"
Sorry I'm late, but congrats on being bland!
no, unboxing spoons... R U S T Y S P O O N S
What if Salad Fingers represents youtubers and internet personalities in general? Notice how they all greet thier audience in similar ways and always doing some weird shit as though it's part of their daily lives but then you find out that there is really something wrong with them that you don't see during the 5 or so minutes that they are on air. The irony in that however, is that all the fame gets in to youtubers heads while SF is driven mad by loneliness. One thing that they all share is that they are both bored and with a lot of time on thier hands.
I just found your channel today. Genius. Thank you.
David Firth. The only person I'd Patreon for.
For me, I'd especially support David Firth and Jason Steele, creator of FilmCow. :D
Subscribed to both of them and both creators bring me utter fucking enjoyment with original fucking content. :)
But, yea, I'll also add that after watching this video, I'm definitely thinking UA-cam really should be fucking replaced. It's actually fucking maddening to know about quality and originality of people's content going down just to keep money flowing for themselves, even though that's not truly their fault to begin with.
Fuck, man. :/
Ravenna Lovecraft I feel the same
Ravenna Lovecraft yes
Check out Captain Disillusion
Ravenna Lovecraft same
Good stuff, David! It's amazing that you're still doing this after all these years.
FlyingOverTr0ut i know right? I've seen a lot of animators just quit or not upload anything at all and that really saddens me and the community, but just look at David! He's still going strong, and still does what he loves not because of money but because of sheer passion and enjoyment and it really shows it in his videos, his content has gotten a lot better too . All in all, I highly respect this man for what he does eventhough we all know animating is painstakingly hard and he's one of the few (that I know) that still posts some high quality content here on YT :}}
FlyingOverTr0ut say hi to your mum for me.
Salad Fingers was actually the first internet series i ever watched online on the web. Gladly will support the creation of more! :D
Online internet series on the web!
Dude, why has Hollow-wood horror not begged you to do a movie by driving a truckload of cash to your door. The horror genre in the US is primarily composed of jump-scares, shakey-cam and bad CGI. It's time to show them how to truly melt minds.
Fact. David's horror knows no bounds by comparison. Really makes you shudder a little.
I would pay at least £2.50 to watch Salad Fingers unbox an iPhone 7.
basically no one is too broke to donate. put it this way, if half of his subs gave 50¢ he would almost have $200k.
edit: "basically everyone" taking into account those who truly cannot afford to or are unable to donate. sorry if that wasn't clearly said in my comment.
we need to get this comment up to the top, or at least get it pinned
What if I'm a homeless man using a library computer to watch this quality content?
DidehMow that's why I said basically :) meaning with exception to those who have legit reasons why they can't.
Like me, a lot of people who watched his stuff on Newgrounds when they were in their teens, are now in their 30s, and will probably be earning a lot more money. A few dollars per thing (which will probably not be every month considering the work that goes in) is easily doable.
sorry you feel that way for real. but i said basically everyone, not absolutely everyone. and also, have you not heard of pre paid debit cards? they aren't expensive and you don't have to deal with any bank.
I love how David stays true to his work. He's not a sellout like the majority of people on UA-cam.
1:43
That's it.
That's Salad Fingers 11.
Ox Time Nah, That’s Salad Fingers 12
Salad fingers unboxings though. Great idea!
lol ikr
BLAND!
VinnytotheK yes more mediocrity and bland, salad fingers fake truckload of iphone7 givaway please.
Salad Fingers could unbox all kinds of bizarre stuff. The possibilities are limitless. Think outside of the box. 😉
as long as it was ironic and still got weird, I'd watch it...
You do you, David. Keep on making great stuff!
It is incredible hearing David Firth articulate his thoughts on his animations and his career! I was young for his first round of animation releases and was too young to understand how his system of revenue worked as I selfishly inhaled his insane content.. Well I have to say, thank you! This content has and will always be top notch and some serious O.G. shit!
UA-cam is just the killer of creativity
Rick and Morty guest animated by David Firth
caleb wright that would give a considerable blow to the whole psychedelic drugs industry
YES
MAKE IT HAPPEN
You should live stream on twitch, show your viewers how the magic is made and maybe raise some money in the meantime with donations.
I second this idea
Would be a christmas miracle if he did.
god i hope he reads your comment
because if he didn't read this comment he would never consider it even for a moment
at least half of the content you stream on twitch needs to be games related so that wouldn't work for what he does
Out of all the Patreon videos people have made, this has to be the best one.
i litteraly love everything about your art, your drawing style, the way you talk and the way you see the world. i grew up watching your cartoons and your videos on newgrounds and on youtube, and you are one of the defining foundations of my art and my percption of reality and i truly thank you for not making content for advertisers and doing it for the fun of it i know youll probuly never see this but i just wanted to put this somwhere i geuss idk.
David Firth is the third content creator to earn some of my money.
Admittedly the one USD per isn't much, and will be totally worthless when our government officials finally reveals themselves to be mutant spider-people on PCP, and convert the American currency to large roaches that were birthed by the fallout of our decaying nuclear arsenal.
But none the less, it's not expensive, and it's an easy way to get that warm fuzzy feeling that you get for supporting the arts.
You think like me, we should stop those lizards wall we still can, so we don't have to touch cockroaches, even though just in case I will put a roach from my school into a box so I will already have some money prepared
Love your videos since the days of newgrounds
Never change plz
I like that he acknowledges the lizard men ...
*ssssssssshhhhh* ...
I remember when we watched salad fingers more than ten years ago in LAN, between two Warcraft III games. It's unforgettable what you did for me, this is precious memory.
Some of my friends were just giggling, but I was overwhelmed by so much genius! I've shown it to so many people and I'm proud of it!
David your animations were in my life since I was 16yo and now, when I'm 27, I will be thrilled to give you some of my money. God of your choice bless you.
There should be a UA-cam black for dark stuff.
insanity Plus ➡ Actually, I think that's a brilliant suggestion!
Yes, that would be a great idea. But I bet UA-cam would still find a way to ruin it, then all the annoying parents that would annoy UA-cam with reports of their little pussy brats going on the Dark UA-cam and seeing things they don't want to. It sounds like a great idea but I doubt it could work
you sure have a way with words
David Firth, I've loved your work for over 15 years now. I will be more than happy to patreon you. It's the least I can do for all your wonderful, terrifing creations.
I believe this is where things can get interesting. Let's see the millions of people whining about UA-cam censorship put their money where their mouth is and actually support creators...you know...since they're *_SO_* outraged by ghastly censorship and corporate interference.
I tried to not make this about UA-cam really - they can do whatever they want since it is their business. I did whine a bit at first but came to the conclusion that we should never rely on a service like UA-cam for our entire livelihood. It was just convenient for a time and now it isn't.
I hate talking about it as I always run the risk of coming off like a corporate apologist. I think all this talk of "censorship" is highly exaggerated. People are still free to go against the grain, it's just becoming harder to gain ad dollars while doing so. To go further, IMO, certain "content" creators (mostly glorified commentators) really don't deserve the amount of support they receive when there have been thousands of small time channels with actual original content who have been completely obscured for years (I stress again, this is simply my opinion, and I'm willing to say it's great if people manage to find a way to earn money simply by talking, I just don't respect it and would rather see animators/filmmakers receive success). That being said, CLEARLY millions of others do think they deserve support, to the point that they openly deem UA-cam a dead platform...yet they never seem willing to show financial support. That's pretty odd.
It's also the sad result of people milking YT relying on cheap baits and uninspired more-of-the-same videos, which already made the enviroment hard for small creators, but also making the website less profitable, hence the measures. After all, YT is a company looking for profit.
The problem is however, that the discoverability of things on the internet has in a way gone down over the years, where often one site becomes fairly close to a monopoly, like youtube for videos, twitter for short conversation and shit positing etc. While they are private platforms they hold a huge amount of influence, given that all the most major public platforms today are owned by private corporations.
@Tim Phillips
I partly agree with your opinion, this is not censorship, just lack of support.
But guess who can change their "content" easily to became "family friendly". Without real original content, you can adapt to the new rules, and get the support almost likr nothing happened. But original channels usually have a profile, and if it's not a family friendly, you either change your whole style or get the support elsewhere.
Plus the "not original content creators" can also use patreon too, so they can utilize two ways of support: The platform, and their (bland) fans. So these changes does not encourage creators to be original (especially in certain topics, style, or genre) but don't worry, the lovely toy reaction channels will stay safe.
1:42 That could've been a fuckin' GREAT april fool's joke xD
I cant give much but you are the only person I pay for content. I have been watching your vids for YEARS and many more years to come. I rewatch your vids all the time. You helped me decide on what I want to persue and that's animation! I love the dark creepy and sick sense of your style and that's what I have always wanted to create myself!! You are great and keep doing what you're doing!
This is the best commercial for not having commercials I’ve seen in a while.
*Don't use force just simply take the coins away*
BRILLIANT but I'll still get arrested no matter what bank I go to sadly.
Unfortunately, that's not how it works in the very top level of society.
The top 0.0001% of humans actually have the power and the so called thing we all agree to buy EVERYTHING, "money", to buy quite literally everything.
Money doesn't buy happyness, some say.
I am curious if those people would throw away their future, even their life for the happyness of others, through money.
(that's quite literally how ISIS operates)
I'm so glad David is back
I honestly consider you to be the first youtuber I would join on patreon. Seriously, I love you and your art so much. With your work I finally found someone who thinks like me. That's really comforting...
I love your minds view and illustrations so beautiful
I get it. This video is actually a metaphor for pooping.
Good job getting the word out David. As a long time fan I'd just like to clear some things up for some people who seem angry about this video.
Patreon is a way to give money to someone when and if they make something.
This isn't David "begging" for money, its him just saying "If you like my stuff and really want to throw money my way, then here's how to do it."
Don't hate on Patreons' or Kickstarter's system or the people who use it, just make your own decisions based on reputable creators and your own financial situation.
And, David has for years put out unique and quality content. It's not like he's some nobody straight out of arts school promising something we don't know if he can deliver, he has accumulated millions of viewers and has a huge cult following. If anyone deserves Patreon funds, its him.
Also I find it strange to say that Patreon is "donating" I mean, David works super super hard to create his content. What right do you have to say he shouldn't be paid for what he does?
Morgan Ballantyne ly for writing this
Ily thank you for all these amazing videos , your work is truly amazing
I honestly think each of your videos are thought out perfectly and each message is a good one I think k hard work goes into all of them . I appreciate your content
Probably the only patreon I'd ever give to
I would probably watch salad fingers unbox the iphone 7 to be perfectly honest
I'm glad David is alot more active on UA-cam now
The fact that you included how it will end into this video was awesome
I would actually love to see Salad Fingers unbox stuff.
you're absolutely justified for this video
i think your genius is on the scripts and the existentialism thematic, the gor part never moved my neurones insanely. all your Sock videos (around 2008) were amazing by the way
I really like your way of animating and relaying stories
You're amazing i love your creativity keep doing what you're doing you inspire me and many otheres🖤
Perhaps the best begging video I have ever seen. I might donate a pound a month, which is absolutely nothing. But if a couple of thousand of us do it, it's suddenly a LOT!
Best and only Patreon advertisement I know. Only ad that deserves to be alive.
I love the fact that you used So 2005 in this video, even if just for a second. Absolutely my favorite song by you.
Why am I bland if I do not like things I personally consider creepy? I do not like blanket statements.
I like how he's subtly vulgar in both his videos and mannerisms, yet still maintains this unusual charm. We'll keep you alive, David. Thanks for having us.
I'm def grabbing one of those paintings. so lovely
I LOVED YOUR WORK SINCE THE 90's and It inspired me to do my own thing
Poor David... he was one of the OG's that did it back then cause he WANTED to do it... not for the money... and now the interwebs turns it's back to him.
You are the reason I'll be making a Patreon account tomorrow.
Best of luck to you.
I've been watching your stuff ever since I was a kid and am glad to finally be able to support your work.
so grateful for this channel.
Colleen and Kory in the beggining
Should have done this a long time ago Firth. You're one of the most interesting creators that I know of, followed you for years and always thought it was criminal you weren't making a decent living from your work. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thank you for stimulating my madness gland for all these years.
Thank you for the content David Firth.
The marriage proposal I gave you early still stands, David. Come to Canada, I'll take care of you.
I may be a penniless douche but I will find a way to support things that are not shit. Long time fan David, tell Crust I said hi, and have a nice day sir.
I remember watching your animation on NG as a kid and I was terrified but weirdly attracted to your work. Nice to see, the content over the years has evolved but not changed. Keep it up bro.
:)
I love all of David firths content it’s kept me going since I was like 5 and now 17 I’m still enjoying and loving the content
I would but I’m too young man, I’m going to ask my parents later
I seriously adore your work!
fuck yeah support this man!
done & done ! happy to support your amazing creations!
Probably one of the best descriptions of the current UA-cam situation on UA-cam.
Haha, this made me laugh many an instance. David, I am a poor wretch, but you're on my list and I've been a fan for like 10 years so I will happily gladly exuberantly donate some filthy life giver/destroyer your way when and as I can. Merrily, merrily. You're one of the best. Keep on bein that!
Just donated the maximum pledge to this. Can I talk to you over DM's? We would love to have you on a radio show started by me and a few friends. We're inspired by your work and Aphex Twin. I've even shared a few tracks in the past on the show. We'd love for you to share some things on it. Let me know David.
I'm at the service of my maximum pledgoids. Sure I will go on your radio show. Email not DMs though. I always forget about my inboxes.
It's so weird that this video never appeared on my subscriptions and only found about it now I manually went through David Firth's uploads.
Your videos are the sole reason why I stay up at night sometimes and yet I still watch. If I could, I would donate just for those feelings...
David, have you considered uploading your videos to vidme? It uses a _tip system_ similar to twitch, in that a viewer can choose to pay the creator a set amount for the video uploaded. 100% of tips go to the creator, and the system may prove to be a more effective method than the traditional adsense that UA-cam pays.
i love how northern he is , it's just the cherry on top - wouldn't be the same without :) Where's he from?
David, your content has inspired me since i was 9. I freakin loveu man
I think I might just sign up for patron for the first time...David’s art is worth actually supporting.... he has brought fear and joy for years....imma look into this and see what I can pledge
David. I love you. Will send whenever I can m8 from british lass to brit lad
TheArtIsAllMine Brits are we. I agree
David I plz make more health reminders, I'm unhealthy and willing to pay
As long as ur still making vids once I'm out of college I'll def become a patron of your work. Ur one of the few people still making original weird shit.
Don't worry about that dear David, I apreciaciate your effort with this to brought us a fine quality content I see your videos since 2008.
When I saw for the first time a video made for you in newgrounds I was fascinated with salad fingers ....thank you
Pda: I'm from Colombia
David Firth!
Better than a homeless man!
they took away all my money, too. *all of it*
Wow I never thought I'd see the day when I would hear your voice and it's not made up or sounding like one of the characters you've made it's awesome
I love your vids as much as I love your creativity and uniqueness. When I get a job, I might as well drop some coins because I know you deserve it. Even this video is well thought out. Simply awesamazing.
This is the second UA-cam that I have heard saying the same thing. Why would you suddenly decide that videos that where acceptable are no longer suitable. Seems like censoring gone mad
why not make salad fingers season 2
if you do ill give you 200$
kevin willems ya dont say? i didnt notice salad fingeres ended like a few years ago
kevin willems i hoped there would be another answer XD
He already commented in another video that Salad Fingers is coming back, so it's just a matter of time.
He's making more
I love this video, it’s inspirational.
