osakar The reviewer at the bottom of this list had it right. Salad Fingers is great mood. But what does it actually show? The world it portrays is a world of ONLY the Shadow; The Shadow and isolation - nothing more. But this is a purge: it does not show the truth of the world: only Miyazaki does that. Spirited Away does it best.A world of only shadow appeals only to those who blind themselves to light.*** I still give this 7 for the mood and for nostalgic reasons. I like it when the red water comes out.**** I refer to the Shadow as Jung described it; that hidden, darker aspect of the unconscious.

armlessamy Is a sad thing that (Despite the existence of television shows as "The Simpsons", "Daria", "Spawn" and "The Maxx") many people still consider animation as "kiddy stuff". This kind of mentality annoys me a lot, and it only served to limit all the potential western animation ever had. If it wasn't for this biased perception, the western animation industry would be just as big (if not bigger) and more varied than the anime industry from Japan. Sadly, thanks to many self proclaimed "moral guardians", soccer moms, bad imitators of Disney and Hanna Barbera, and people who thinks that kids are morons unable to handle anything more complex than stuff like Barney the Dinosaur or Pokemon, animation in this side of the world never had the chance to reach its full potential, despite some admirable efforts worth of recognition. Fortunately, thanks to the advent of the Internet, now is possible to see and appreciate the works of many different independent animators which have on the web far more creative freedom they would have on regular television.David Firth is one of those talented web animators, and Salad Fingers is probably his most iconic and fascinating creation, a creepy and surreal series of shorts about an strange characters who who inhabits a desolate world, having any sort of weird "adventures" in each chapter.It might sound like a very simple concept, yet the incredibly haunting atmosphere, and the weird but somehow endearing main character are able to make "Salad Fingers"a unique, totally fascinating series, perfect for those viewers who enjoy the weird and unconventional material the Internet is able to offer.Animations like this are a breath of fresh air in a time when it seems there is nothing new under the sun. In a time when both horror and animation seem stagnated due the biased perceptions the general public had towards both genres, I say thanks for creative and atypical creators like David Firth, who definitely deserve far more credit and recognition.

TheBlueHairedLawyer The animation in the Salad Fingers cartoon isn't bad. The problem is, it's incredibly strange. I love weird things, I love The Addams Family, The Corpse Bride, Eating Raoul, etc. but Salad Fingers is weird to the point where not only is it not funny, it's just more annoying and dull than anything else.The story of Salad Fingers appears to be that Salad Fingers was a normal guy, but after a nuclear bomb was dropped, he is the lone survivor and is getting sick - mentally and physically - from radiation. As he is the lone survivor in what looks to be post-war Britain, he has gone mad and begun inventing imaginary playmates for himself.There is an interesting plot here, but one of the other reviews seems to think it was a cartoon made to raise awareness of the environment and pollution. Clearly it is just meant to be comedic and to appeal to those out there who love creepy things, not everything has a message behind it. Salad Fingers has little, if any, soundtrack. It has one, maybe two, voice actors. For an independent cartoon you can see that effort has obviously been put in, but there are some moments to recall that are not only strange, but perverse and disgusting, frankly pointless: 1) Salad Fingers picks up a rusty spoon and says aloud, "the feeling of rusty spoons against my salad fingers is almost orgasmic". What the hell? 2) Salad Fingers pokes himself with a dead nettle plant and says "the nettle makes the milk squirt from my teat." Uh, what the hell again? 3) Salad Fingers' "birthing scene" in the last couple episodes... ugh.4) he appears to murder a small child and then dreams of being in a meat locker.5) He pops a sowbug named Bordois open with his finger.6) he stabs himself and says, "I like it when the red water pours out." Sometimes it's best just to listen and not see for yourself.Honestly, avoid this cartoon, it's a waste of time to watch, is at times something only psychopaths would find humerus, it's just not worth it. Its current 8.3 out of 10 rating makes me very worried for society.

TheVictoriousV Salad Fingers, a singularly disturbing Flash cartoon by David Firth is a unique experience. A series of bizarre animations that are mere random messes to those who are simply too lazy to think hard, but beautiful and bewildering to those who wish to interpret and analyze them and those who appreciate art.Salad Fingers is set around a lonely, mentally disturbed mutant who resides in a wasteland with only his finger puppets and his imagination as company. We hear that the world around him perished during a great war. He sees and does strange things that often end him up in surreal and frightening situations.As we follow him through his nightmarish experiences, we grow to like him and care about him, despite his sickening habits and hobbies. It is hard not to feel sorry for him when he breaks down and feels miserable and alone.Salad Fingers is truly a one-of-a-kind Flash series. No other series I can think of has been this surreal, strange or beautiful. Many have tried to mimic it, yes, but that has not always ended well.
