It's about a child which got abused mentally, physically and psychologically which set of a series of mental illnesses which include; multipersonallity disorder Psychosis , borderline personally disorder and more....the main aspect which he aquired from this is different allieces. He also struggles with children been around him , as he got abused as a child. When ever one arrives into his life he either, kills them or does something to them. Every experience he had done to him he did it to them. Cooked alive, hung on hooks the lot. A perfect example is when he stabs himself when he puts someone in the oven, which then goes on to sing the song red water. That would of been a coping mechanism to take awsy the pain. Lastly the meeting of his 3 personalities formed from been alone in pain and going through hell. This is just a quick write up, there is alot more going on.
@@releasehalflife3 yah he did that but on i think ep one when he lets the kid in the oven he doesn’t shut the oven it closes its self and do you not see how politely he talks
i can talk polite and be a murderer not saying salad fingers is a murderer but talking politely doesnt make u free of all crimes does it@@blazecraft1918
The cool thing about Salad Fingers is that he actually appears to be polite and kind-hearted - his speech is always very well-mannered, and he doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions at all (he is obviously psychotic, but he isn't actually evil). This makes him feel like a very complex character, and this makes him incredibly interesting.
3 very recommended shows on UA-cam w episodes to watch is Popee the performer and I think it has 2-4 seasons and 40+ episodes, Charlie the unicorn has no seasons just 1 with 5 episodes, and Llamas with hats, I don't remember how many episodes it has but they are all very good.
I find Salad Fingers as a character really likable. It kinda breaks my heart to see his mentality deteriorating throughout the series. It becomes more and more often that you see him crying or in a state of pure fear.

i believe i should thank David Firth for producing this series. Because of Salad Fingers, when i was 13 years old, i made all efforts to learn english, drawing, animation, script production, and today i work with content creation for media. Being inspired by a green creepy guy seems weird, but his cartoons had literally changed my life :)
It's scary for me how David Firth was the one who turned me into a fan of indie underground dark trash beat ambient 90s 2000s music...and also a guy who loves simple cartoons but with horrible concepts, he is just the reason i'm like this nowdays...
I love how by episode 9, the overall production quality has improved drastically, and the animation is a lot more confident. We not only get to see the series evolve, but also Firth as an animator (I’m presuming he animated these himself)
@@AlliwantisAIDSHelpImKidnapped I actually agree in some ways. It sure does become more technical, with better angles, more nuances in the movement, and overall smoother animation with better composition, but it doesn't exactly serve the series itself any. It looks cool, but doesn't add anything as far as the disturbing atmosphere and the story goes. It's almost more distracting, at least for me personally, since I can't help but to think "You put on all this effort but for such little payoff." I think that's why after episode 10 the quality is scaled back a bit. Not enough for it to be as stiff and un-cinematic as the earlier content, but instead it feels just right. It isn't overdone in episodes 11 and 12, so to speak.
@@PixelsPolygonsNPetrichor have you watched all the episodes if you see the one with hubert cumberdale (the real boy) and you still sai he is reverse wholesome than i find your opinion dead wrong
hello Balam HF , i just read your comment on my horse and i thought to myself maybe he can buy a horse with the money you sent UwU Hope this email finds your horse :3c kisses , sincerely yours Horsegirl, olivia
Picnic was the episode where I really became curious about the lore of salad fingers. It’s still so cool that the ONLY thing Fingers has been terrified by are the words of a little girl. Must have been ages since he’s met someone who speaks English.
I remember seeing somewhere that one theory as to why he reacted like that was because she seems to have been the only person who spoke to him. Salad fingers is clearly a bit mentally disturbed, as he constantly hops back and forth between various personalities, and he has a habit of speaking for inanimate objects and other people, putting words in their mouths. And since all the other actual people he meets never speak, at least not with words, he’s free to fill in the blanks with his imagination. Except for that little girl. She actually spoke, introducing something unknown and outside of his control, and that’s why she terrified him. Or at least that’s one theory.
Must be terrifying when your imaginary friend who you know it's imaginary and speak and answer for him decides to talk to you without your will. He is so terrified because she was not supposed to talk to him or at some point he couldn't difference what was in his mind (the puppet friends for example) and the reality (the girl who joined him). The fact that a little girl joined him for picnic regardless if real or not makes me think that salad fingers must be a kid with a some horrible mental problems lost in this little word he created. Then again it may mean nothing.
I feel like the voice-acting in this series is terribly overlooked (probably because the visuals are so striking). I really love how you voiced Salad Fingers. At first his voice just seems a little odd and creepy, but then as one listens to it he becomes such a fragile, sensitive, HUMAN character. Within his own world, he is a very normal person, one who has said and done some very questionable things (like in the Postman episode) but who has a moral compass and wants to do good just like all of us.
@@0_dearghealach_083 I remember reading it at some point, it was something like David Firth was a guitarist in a band (which ofc involves using fingers) and someone said to him that he had 'salad fingers' (not really sure what that means though, maybe long fingers or something).
I always come back to Salad Fingers, it captures the feel of mental deterioration like no other series I've seen. Salad Fingers himself is both so endearing and unpredictably cruel.
I always find this to be the most disturbing thing about him. He's not cruel. He's just so simple minded that he doesn't realize when he hurts another living being.
I’ve never really be disturbed, even as a kid I kinda just looked at Saladfingers as someone I’d be friends with, a strange little man that just wants to be spend time with people and to enjoy his life. (Even if it’s a very grim life)
Been a long time since my salad fingers watching days.... had to catch up on these new additions. You lose that numbness over time lol promise. I feel almost as creeped out as I did 16ish years (it seems like it was much longer than that I thought I was much younger) a go when I first saw it on his website. It only had a couple videos on it when I first watched it
It reminds me of the world so I can't say disturbed more so intrigued to how it's story works. Haha I'm enjoying it so far reminds me of post apocalyptic world's.
I love this series so much. Episode 13, “Harvest” has added so much depth to the strange world Salad fingers inhabits. Very inspirational AND interesting
Something about the way these pieces were animated makes me have a vivid flash back in time I was happy , fulfilled and in a cozy place reading a book in the winter . Even at work I listen to the audio , it helps calm my nerves. Idk why it's so addicting.
Everything, I mean EVERYTHING in Salad Fingers is deeply disturbing. I'm left with the urge to silently weep, hidden under my bed. It is way more horrifying than most horror movies. Well done.
Every since i first saw this, even up till now i though it was funny. Its literally non sensical from the beginning. He has salad fingers and hes a dumb schizophrenic masochist. Im 100x more afraid of horror movies than this stuff. It is interesting to see the perspective tho.
@@sonniesiekbert5694 I'd like a whole cover of him singing somewhere over the rainbow in that weird place full of animal carcasses he entered after passing out with Hubert cumberdale
To me, the best thing about Salad Fingers as a character is how there's something lurking just beyond the viewer's understanding, that adds such a special characteristic of unease to our time with Mr. Fingers. And it's almost never clear whether he's narrowly avoiding some colony of traumatic memories, or perhaps the crushing guilt of something. And since Mr. Firth intends no 'Objective, correct' view to the series, there's such an overarching horror to the unknown of Salad Fingers - though he is a human creation, there is such a mystery to his existence, and one which we will likely never see. There's something so special about that.
Wow! This is every bit as fucking horrifying as i remember watching it when I was 12 years old. Truly impressive that you can make something that can scar a child and then completely tear that wound back open 10 years later
This kept making me switch between wanting to jump off a roof, wanting to hug salad fingers, wanting to throw my phone, wanting to cry, and repeating that process 😭
@@virtuosic4883 wth are you on about lmao the fucking irony curb your desire to sound more intelligent than you actually are, both of your comments are so fuckin funny to read though, like the absolute commitment to wanting to be smœrt via sounding as narcissistic as possible is just... magnificent. if it's shitposting then it's world-class, not everyone can pull off being a vapid egotist so well, if it's not, then go to therapy before everyone around you grows tired of your antics and you end up alone.
@@virtuosic4883 Wow, being invested in fiction is cringe now. Can we finally get over this cringe stuff, you don't have to feel embarrassed when other people express their feelings
@@Maurrokh Emotional expression and emotional disregulation are two entirely different things. Normalise the first, by all means, but you do realise that normalising the second is literally normalising personality disorders, right?
I thought I recalled someone else saying it years ago, but my own theory is that Salad Fingers represents/is supposed to be a soldier killed in WWI and stuck in purgatory/hell or perhaps still alive but dealing with serious psychosis and PTSD as a result of the horrors of the the war. Because he has the mannerisms and vernacular of that time and mentions on multiple occasions "the great war" the whole series becomes less disturbing and more so incredibly depressing if you look at it from this context
I think it's crazy the theories people come up with are all so intricate when in all reality I don't think it's meaning is that deep. I think it's just meant to be weird and creepy lol. But that's the great part about art. You can tack whatever theory you want onto it as you please and everyone experiences it differently. I don't think there is one right answer. And no wrong answers
@@ImSarahTarot unfortunately he probably won't, since he said he went too far with episode -2 and also I mean he's dead, it's difficult to make prequels over prequels on a story that already has an end
@@Dj_Frixz well he died in episode 1, episode -1 and -2 go backwards in time, so he could do more episodes. But sad to hear he feels he went too far ): imo he went too far a bit in sock 6, but I’m sure he will do more of those
This series gives me such a weird uncanny asmr feeling. It's like Over The Garden Wall but more graphic. I'm disturbed but also about to fall asleep idk I love it
@Toohotforthisyou are more interested in this than you are interested in an English teacher, or you are more interested in this than an English teacher would be?! 🙄Lazy doctors😂 (idgaf I'm an accountant but careless talk costs lives for real👀)
This is the finest example of surrealist media from the 21st century. I'd put it on par with things like eraserhead, meshes of the afternoon, and un chien andalou. The score, the story, the visuals, the fact that it's taken 15 years to unfold. I'm speechless every time I watch it
Actually... so many years have passed since i first watched salad fingers and i never told anyone... recently i showed my husband this and i was terrified that the "look of weirdness" will hit me... but he said "you know...this is quite good lets watch more of David" and ... this is the most incredible thing i never imagined :D. Haha i will never let go of a fellow weirdo!!
The first time I watched this i was 9 with unrestricted access to the internet, and now it five years later and I still love salad fingers so much. This series has been with me growing up and I always watch it when I'm sad, it been like a comfort series for me. thank you so much David firth for creating this amazing series! you can see the improvement in animation throughout the series and I love the artstyle!
*Dude I was 2 years old when the 2008 episode "Spoon" was released. Now, I'm 17 yet you still make these! I love the simplicity of artwork,the narration of Salad and the cryptic story with some gory imagery. It combines to the mystery and creepiness of the story. This is indeed a Masterpiece! We need a brand new generation of Salad Finger!*
At first I was only creeped out by this, but in time while watching these episodes I developed some kind of sympathy for him, like you could while working in a psychiatric institution for a very strange patient you see every day.
Thank you for this gift to the world! 💚 From my childhood to this day Salad Finger is the one first series which have been huge part of my life. This kind of art and animations. Just perfect! Love it! ❤️
Even without watching other videos about salad fingers I feel that he almost definitely a masochist I can’t truly explain why he seems to talk in a formal English though
I belive the creator is British and the Great War was ww1 and salad fingers talks about it a few times So we can assume they were alive around ww1 and British so the language makes sense
its crazy cool to see how much your art has developed and I am just realising how much this means to me as well, I was a child when I first saw salad fingers but now as an adult I feel I understand him too. Thank you David Firth
I’ll always come back to salad fingers. Makes me nostalgic and honestly it’s beautifully sad. To watch his mental deteriorate. But honestly it shows us how as time moves on we ourselves will become more sad and fearful.
Hoping Saladfingers gets a direct reference in the next season of Smiling Friends. David Firth already voiced a role, so taking that extra step would be great.
I'm so excited to watch this tomorrow!! I'm getting everyone I know together, that hasn't seen or heard of Salad Fingers and we're watching this in a Discord call. Everyone is about to be educated!! :D Thank you for everything you've ever created, David.
When my mom first showed me this, I thought it was weird and creepy and I didn’t really like it that much. But recently, I’ve been watching this nonstop and I’ve become really hyper-fixated on it. And another thing, I find this oddly comforting and idk why. It just gives off these vibes that make me feel comfortable.
So my girlfriend never heard of Salad Fingers until i brought it up recently. She could tell I loved this so I recommended it to her and she's currently watching right now
I had missed the Glass Brother episode along the way, so I appreciate the brand new video of everything. That episode is really something of a masterpiece.
Today, some fifteen years after discovering this on Newgrounds, I came to realise that one, amongst many, of the creepy aspects about SF, is the fact that he is always so proper.
I honestly think that Mr. salad Fingers singing is very beautiful and delightful.Mr.Salad Fingers also has a talent for playing the flue and im here for it. Also, Mr. Salad Fingers desire to travel to France is amazing.
Salad fingers came out before I was born around the time my older sister was born, and I really love it and it’s symbolism/fandom it’s cool how it still reaches people despite its posting of 15 years ago :)
A few a Christmases ago, I went to stay will my parents for a few days over the holidays; I was watching Salad Fingers on my laptop and I must have dozed off for a bit, and when I came to, my mom was sitting beside me and said to me, “I was curious what you were watching, so I watched a little bit of this, well, show, and I just want to make sure everything has been alright for you lately and if you want to talk about ANYTHING, I am here for you.” No joke, that is exactly what she said to me; I really didn’t know what to say.
This channel broke my humor as a kid, idk maybe truama response, but your stuff has always been so weird and chaotic that Ive just found it to be the funniest thing. Its addicting honestly and always find myself coming back down memory lane to rewatch the channel.
I think episode 6 19:07 - 23:24 (Present) is the weirdest. It has a certain unpredictability or randomness that is stronger than other episodes. Of course other episodes have a weird concept or strong and confusing visuals but Present takes a deep dive in some of Mr Fingers supposed mental disorders such as DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder)
So bizzare how comforting this became for me. Been since the release of Birthday since I watched, and instead of being creeped out, It felt good. Rewatched this comp every day for the past week

It is way more horrifying than most horror movies.
Well done.
It definitely has a schizoid aesthetic to it.
True... Its calm and eerie at the same time
Every since i first saw this, even up till now i though it was funny. Its literally non sensical from the beginning. He has salad fingers and hes a dumb schizophrenic masochist. Im 100x more afraid of horror movies than this stuff. It is interesting to see the perspective tho.
Deadass, perfectly described me watching this series. It is utter horror
Where are the spoons
If I found out this man was a cult leader I wouldn’t be surprised.
Nah, cult leaders usually appear normal, thats how they draw people in.
David just let's out the weirdness without a care in the world.
I would join his cult
@@tricksterhuaun true
he was the cult's god.
Salad Fingers’ voice contains so much calmness that I like to listen to him, even when he says something outta context sometimes ❤

This is really handy to know what episode/ chapter your on to keep on track 😄😄😉❤💟👍
Thanks man
it has them in desc
28:15 I'm going to need a whole cover of salad fingers singing we'll meet again because he sounded absolutely beautiful
He was beautiple
Yes I'd love that ❤️
The pianist was doing it all wrong. He wasn't playing in the right key
@@antmangamer1536 yea lol 😂
@@sonniesiekbert5694 I'd like a whole cover of him singing somewhere over the rainbow in that weird place full of animal carcasses he entered after passing out with Hubert cumberdale
Damn. This British documentary of it's people is so intriguing.
Ahem
Sir, what channel have you been watching this be broadcast on??
Honestly
didn’t even know they existed
We’re all freaks 😂
To me, the best thing about Salad Fingers as a character is how there's something lurking just beyond the viewer's understanding, that adds such a special characteristic of unease to our time with Mr. Fingers. And it's almost never clear whether he's narrowly avoiding some colony of traumatic memories, or perhaps the crushing guilt of something. And since Mr. Firth intends no 'Objective, correct' view to the series, there's such an overarching horror to the unknown of Salad Fingers - though he is a human creation, there is such a mystery to his existence, and one which we will likely never see. There's something so special about that.
So true
I like how it's disturbing then you just see him flying through flutes or playing an instrument those made me laugh a bit
Wow! This is every bit as fucking horrifying as i remember watching it when I was 12 years old. Truly impressive that you can make something that can scar a child and then completely tear that wound back open 10 years later
I remember watching this when I was a kid, but I don't remember much of what happened to him tho
Idk how 6 year old me was just fine but I’m 11 now and this is just weird
Idk how old I was back then but rn I'm 17 and I rewatched Salad fingers episodes, it was very weird seeing them two or three years later.
Same. I remember when I saw this and I only had one question.
What the actual hell am I watching?
I didn’t remember how dark salad fingers is and now I’m sitting with my sister watching it and she’s terrified
This kept making me switch between wanting to jump off a roof, wanting to hug salad fingers, wanting to throw my phone, wanting to cry, and repeating that process 😭
I hope you're self aware enough to know that's an overreaction and you sound cringe af for saying it.
@@virtuosic4883 wth are you on about lmao
the fucking irony
curb your desire to sound more intelligent than you actually are, both of your comments are so fuckin funny to read though, like the absolute commitment to wanting to be smœrt via sounding as narcissistic as possible is just... magnificent.
if it's shitposting then it's world-class, not everyone can pull off being a vapid egotist so well, if it's not, then go to therapy before everyone around you grows tired of your antics and you end up alone.
@@iMajoraGaming Curb your BPD, you sound like you've been taken off your mood stabilisers.
@@virtuosic4883 Wow, being invested in fiction is cringe now. Can we finally get over this cringe stuff, you don't have to feel embarrassed when other people express their feelings
@@Maurrokh Emotional expression and emotional disregulation are two entirely different things. Normalise the first, by all means, but you do realise that normalising the second is literally normalising personality disorders, right?
Salad Fingers was my gateway into creepy animation and he's still one of my favorite characters.
I thought I recalled someone else saying it years ago, but my own theory is that Salad Fingers represents/is supposed to be a soldier killed in WWI and stuck in purgatory/hell or perhaps still alive but dealing with serious psychosis and PTSD as a result of the horrors of the the war. Because he has the mannerisms and vernacular of that time and mentions on multiple occasions "the great war" the whole series becomes less disturbing and more so incredibly depressing if you look at it from this context
Honestly, I think its probably just an amalgamation of horrific imagery and disturbing concepts.
except he explicitly says it was terrible you all left for the great war without me?
I think it's crazy the theories people come up with are all so intricate when in all reality I don't think it's meaning is that deep. I think it's just meant to be weird and creepy lol.
But that's the great part about art. You can tack whatever theory you want onto it as you please and everyone experiences it differently.
I don't think there is one right answer. And no wrong answers
But acctally David got called salad fingers so he made this
I agree and he is probably schizophrenic since he has hallucinations and hears voices
I love how he innocently says "hello!"
I really hope he continues this series. I love it.
Me too 😊
I hope he brings back toast boy one day too
I hope flesh boy comes back
@@ImSarahTarot unfortunately he probably won't, since he said he went too far with episode -2 and also I mean he's dead, it's difficult to make prequels over prequels on a story that already has an end
@@Dj_Frixz well he died in episode 1, episode -1 and -2 go backwards in time, so he could do more episodes. But sad to hear he feels he went too far ): imo he went too far a bit in sock 6, but I’m sure he will do more of those
It's nice to see Salad Fingers' mental health imporoving throughout the series.
Yeah... Improving....
I think you are watching it backwards
He fucking died ???
Is the improving in the room with us?
This series gives me such a weird uncanny asmr feeling. It's like Over The Garden Wall but more graphic. I'm disturbed but also about to fall asleep idk I love it
I will never shut up about how much I love this series, David did such an amazing job with it.
I would love to see English teachers try cracking the meaning of this since they’re so keen on detail
my English teacher put this on once
it means being british is horrible
@@eggsammich1186 oh no
@@eggsammich1186nah 💀
@Toohotforthisyou are more interested in this than you are interested in an English teacher, or you are more interested in this than an English teacher would be?! 🙄Lazy doctors😂 (idgaf I'm an accountant but careless talk costs lives for real👀)
why is salad fingers so comforting and It is like ASMR (i love this show) :)
This is the finest example of surrealist media from the 21st century. I'd put it on par with things like eraserhead, meshes of the afternoon, and un chien andalou. The score, the story, the visuals, the fact that it's taken 15 years to unfold. I'm speechless every time I watch it
It went from a little cartoon to a FUCKING ROMANCE DRAMA
Actually... so many years have passed since i first watched salad fingers and i never told anyone... recently i showed my husband this and i was terrified that the "look of weirdness" will hit me... but he said "you know...this is quite good lets watch more of David" and ... this is the most incredible thing i never imagined :D. Haha i will never let go of a fellow weirdo!!
That man sounds great, don't ever hide your interests from him because enjoying it with him will make I all the better
The first time I watched this i was 9 with unrestricted access to the internet, and now it five years later and I still love salad fingers so much. This series has been with me growing up and I always watch it when I'm sad, it been like a comfort series for me. thank you so much David firth for creating this amazing series! you can see the improvement in animation throughout the series and I love the artstyle!
omg it's the rusty spoon!
I love your profile pic so cool❤️
Rusty Spoon that's so cool
what a wonderfully weird and creepy little cartoon . i just found out bout this today brilliant
the vibes I get from salad fingers is a really special British child
I love how we get to watch David improve as an animator and artist. Seeing the slow but sure improvement over the episodes is awesome.
I sure miss the summer of 2004. Things were simpler back in the Salad Fingers 1 thru 4 days.
I bet Salad Fingers himself thinks so too.
Most things are simpler when you're still young
@@TruDis01 Agreed
Right?
Worst year in my life by far. But Salad Fingers was there to help me through the pain.
My friend introduced me to this series a few years ago. And ever since then, I've been watching it. I love Salad Fingers.
*Dude I was 2 years old when the 2008 episode "Spoon" was released. Now, I'm 17 yet you still make these! I love the simplicity of artwork,the narration of Salad and the cryptic story with some gory imagery. It combines to the mystery and creepiness of the story. This is indeed a Masterpiece! We need a brand new generation of Salad Finger!*
Boy how were 2 in 2008 and 17 in 2022 shouldn’t you be 16 smth 💀
Tf?
@@vaanyarawat2249 maybe they were born at the beginning of the year.
that math does not check out
I sincerely doubt you remember anything from when you were two years old.
No one can stop me from watching salad fingers and still liking it after years.
Me too 💯🥰
i can *cocks gun*
Come again
I love how salad fingers randomly plays an instrument out of no where

Salad fingers: INSERT CLARINET AND DANCE
I just got to this comment as he began playing 🤣.
9:21 its from here that we fully understand Salad Fingers is insane. No human being would ever want to go to France
am I the only one that thinks salad fingers is calming
same, the voice is oddly reassuring.
I also find some of it calming.
It’s so weird but he’s so calming
I watch it as asmr, it never fails to make me sleep when I have insomnia. So no you're not alone.
@@spiritualsnail1584 Same
An incredible job, never stop with your beautifully creepy series David.
Does anyone else find his voice calming????
Wth
It calms some layers, it doesn't calm some other layers
Yea its strangely relaxing to listen to
Almost
same
Literally my comfort show I love this dude so much
same
At first I was only creeped out by this, but in time while watching these episodes I developed some kind of sympathy for him, like you could while working in a psychiatric institution for a very strange patient you see every day.
I just finally realized that the paining in episode 1 was talking.
Such great details :D
Ok
What does he say?
Same tho
@Don't read profile photo this boy run out of ideas
Thank you for this gift to the world! 💚
From my childhood to this day Salad Finger is the one first series which have been huge part of my life.
This kind of art and animations.
Just perfect!
Love it! ❤️
@Don't read profile photo Why do bots like you exist?
@@CharaDreemurr15243 ikr lol I see those a lot too tbh😂
@Don't read profile photo Please cease existing for everyone else's sake. You and all the other ones.
it may come off as creepy to some people but salad keeps me calm. people are so quick to judge, i love this little guy
Thanks Dave, it’s good to have them all in the same place for a movie length binge.
Salad fingers seemed genuinely sad that his "little brother" had to go back to the "war"
Well yeah he was crying 😢
Well wouldn't you?
@@toastee5421 time stamp?
@@ashhqr no thank you
Even without watching other videos about salad fingers I feel that he almost definitely a masochist I can’t truly explain why he seems to talk in a formal English though
I belive the creator is British and the Great War was ww1 and salad fingers talks about it a few times
So we can assume they were alive around ww1 and British so the language makes sense
I like it when the red water comes out🥴
-salad finger💀
Im so grateful to have grown up with salad fingers! I hope he sticks around for years to come! Thank you!
Yes same❤️
its crazy cool to see how much your art has developed and I am just realising how much this means to me as well, I was a child when I first saw salad fingers but now as an adult I feel I understand him too. Thank you David Firth
57:45 this almost made me cry😭😭😭😭
1:07:39 Can we agree that Humbert Cumberdale walking is the cutest thing ever??
I finally learned, after like 18 years, that Hubert Cumberdales middle name is Jason. A void has been filled.
I’ll always come back to salad fingers. Makes me nostalgic and honestly it’s beautifully sad. To watch his mental deteriorate. But honestly it shows us how as time moves on we ourselves will become more sad and fearful.
Yes
I like these animations mashups because it makes it easier for me to see how the animation has improved over time.
Hoping Saladfingers gets a direct reference in the next season of Smiling Friends. David Firth already voiced a role, so taking that extra step would be great.
i watched this when i was eleven and it didn't scare me one bit. it doesn't now either, i've always found it strangely endearing. i love this series
I'm so excited to watch this tomorrow!! I'm getting everyone I know together, that hasn't seen or heard of Salad Fingers and we're watching this in a Discord call. Everyone is about to be educated!! :D
Thank you for everything you've ever created, David.
When my mom first showed me this, I thought it was weird and creepy and I didn’t really like it that much. But recently, I’ve been watching this nonstop and I’ve become really hyper-fixated on it. And another thing, I find this oddly comforting and idk why. It just gives off these vibes that make me feel comfortable.
Why would your mom show you this?????
I think it's the soothing voice that sounds like asmr
@@Ermwataehctualsigmawhy wouldn't she
@@Yomomspimp911 why would she though
@@Ermwataehctualsigma why not it's not like back then the show was utter nightmare fuel and its not now
Psychologist: all your dreams have a meaning

I love seeing how your art progressed in this
So my girlfriend never heard of Salad Fingers until i brought it up recently. She could tell I loved this so I recommended it to her and she's currently watching right now
I had missed the Glass Brother episode along the way, so I appreciate the brand new video of everything. That episode is really something of a masterpiece.
Today, some fifteen years after discovering this on Newgrounds, I came to realise that one, amongst many, of the creepy aspects about SF, is the fact that he is always so proper.
I honestly think that Mr. salad Fingers singing is very beautiful and delightful.Mr.Salad Fingers also has a talent for playing the flue and im here for it. Also, Mr. Salad Fingers desire to travel to France is amazing.
Salad fingers came out before I was born around the time my older sister was born, and I really love it and it’s symbolism/fandom it’s cool how it still reaches people despite its posting of 15 years ago :)

A few a Christmases ago, I went to stay will my parents for a few days over the holidays; I was watching Salad Fingers on my laptop and I must have dozed off for a bit, and when I came to, my mom was sitting beside me and said to me, “I was curious what you were watching, so I watched a little bit of this, well, show, and I just want to make sure everything has been alright for you lately and if you want to talk about ANYTHING, I am here for you.” No joke, that is exactly what she said to me; I really didn’t know what to say.
Has anyone noticed that Salad Fingers gets smarter and more understandable every episode.
Rewatching this years later makes me realize how jealous I am that Salad fingers can play the flute like that.
Same. I love the sound of flutes.
its so awesome to see how the episodes have evolved into movie-length all together. congrats!!
Yes I love it ❤️😍
He somehow manages to be polite even when he’s truly upset. What a gentleman.
Bordois's death broke my heart.
This channel broke my humor as a kid, idk maybe truama response, but your stuff has always been so weird and chaotic that Ive just found it to be the funniest thing. Its addicting honestly and always find myself coming back down memory lane to rewatch the channel.
this is the most disturbing yet comforting thing I think I’ve ever seen
I think episode 6 19:07 - 23:24 (Present) is the weirdest. It has a certain unpredictability or randomness that is stronger than other episodes. Of course other episodes have a weird concept or strong and confusing visuals but Present takes a deep dive in some of Mr Fingers supposed mental disorders such as DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder)
Got my salad fingers slippers and shirt and hoodie on , spending my Friday night relaxing watching such beauty , so inspirational 😌 Much love David ❤
Impressive. Unique. Timeless. I will always come back to this since 2012. I really look up to ur art.
same
So bizzare how comforting this became for me. Been since the release of Birthday since I watched, and instead of being creeped out, It felt good. Rewatched this comp every day for the past week
“ i- ist that comfortable?” “ ……..” * plays flute* I LOVE HIM
