...[[Mind Screw|Where to begin?]]
A popular Flash cartoon created by [[David Firth]], ''Salad Fingers'' is a notoriously surreal and disturbing series set in a seemingly post-apocalyptic world. The title character is a grotesque recluse with [[Creepy Long Fingers|long green fingers]], a seemingly sexual [[Fetish]] for rusty objects, masochistic tendencies, several [[Companion Cube
It's ''that'' kind of series. Warning: Watching '''Salad Fingers''' will cause insomnia, pants-wetting, zombie invasions, an extreme dislike of rust, more insomnia, yelling, "What were you sniffing when you made this," at the computer screen, hiding under your bed for the next three months, an intense need to commit suicide, an intense need to commit homicide, and an intense need to [[Shmuck Bait|warn people to not watch this cartoon]]. [http://www.fat-pie.com/salad.htm I warned you.]
It's pretty much considered Not Safe For Humanity.

{{tropelist}}
* [[After the End]] - A common interpretation of the setting.
* [[And Call Him George]]: Salad Fingers gives his "little sister" Bourdoise the woodlouse a "big stroke" and ends up squishing it.
* [[Animation Bump]]: 'Letter'.
* [[Antiquated Linguistics]]: Salad Fingers talks like
* [[Armless Biped]]: Milford Cubicle in the third episode.
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!]]: In the second episode, Salad Fingers is distracted by a rusty nail in the wall while holding the oven door open, and lets it shut on the kid he asked to grab his fish for him.
Line 34:
* [[Creepy Doll]]: Any of Salad Finger's three finger puppets can be this. To elaborate, Hubert Cumberdale can become human-sized, gain red eyes, and scream for no apparent reason, as well as randomly turn into a black liquid that burns at the touch. Marjory Stewart-Baxter jealously watches Salad Fingers have a picnic with a little girl through the window. Jeremy Fisher can also become human-sized, stores a weird green fluid in his plugged-up mouth, and can suddenly transform into [[Mind Screw|a second Salad Fingers]] [[I'm a Humanitarian|to get eaten alive by the first.]]
* [[Creepy Long Fingers]]: Saladfingers.
* [[
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Despite being a creepy noseless green man who lives in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Salad Fingers seems to be friendly and nice. [[And Call Him George|What happens to]] [[Obliviously Evil|the people around him]], though...
* [[Deranged Animation]]
Line 40:
* [[Ear Rape]]: There are many sudden loud noises, drawing the viewer into a sense of paranoia. Translation: Don't listen with the volume up high.
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: Salad Fingers will eat stuff like finger puppets, sand, and hairs on scotch tape.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Not exactly graphic but still enough to make you shudder. During episode 8, Salad Fingers takes a strand of hair and slowly drags it across his eyeball.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: Salad Fingers without his shirt on: emaciated and hairy with a scar on his abdomen. [[Squick]].
** Depends on the fan. There's fan art on [http://www.deviantart.com deviantART] with him shirtless. (But they made him look less squicky.)
Line 52:
** A large eyed and limbless "young child" whose head looks like a kernel of corn from the first episode.
** In episode 3, the screaming man with a combover and wearing a "BBQ" apron has no arms.
** A "little boy" from episode 4 who stalks Salad Fingers. It has [[Black Eyes of Evil|black]] bulging eyes, needle-like teeth, and a large [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|scar]] on its bald, veiny, and oversized head.
*** The only thing that comes even close to averting this is the red haired girl from episode 5, which is to say she looks recognizably human.
* [[Halfway Plot Switch]]: The eponymous letter from the episode "Letter" is read aloud by Salad Fingers for a few seconds at the beginning. The rest of the episode [[
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: The ending of {{spoiler|episode 5.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Hey, It's That Guy]]: Datach'i himself plays piano on one episode.
Line 60:
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]] - Salad Fingers eats Jeremy Fisher (who turns out to be ''[[Mind Screw|himself]]'') in one of his [[Freak-Out]] moments.
* [[It Tastes Like Feet]] - "Hubert Cumberdale, you taste like soot and poo!"
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]:
** In episode 5, the creepy crow gags in disgust when Salad Fingers feeds the little girl "pease pudding" using a rusty spoon taken out of a pouch made up of ''pieces of human skin sewn together.''
*** Some even believe it says "Fuck you" in a distorted voice; there ''is'' a "fuh" sound in there, but YMMV on whether that is the message.
Line 73:
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Salad Fingers, to ''everything.''
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]] - Salad Fingers' voice, mannerisms and dialogue are extremely unnerving, usually more so to the viewers than to the other characters.
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: Mostly during the earlier episodes, Salad Fingers will address the audience with a friendly "Hello" and then explain his adventure for the day.
* [[Noodle People]]: This is how Salad Fingers is drawn.
* [[Obliviously Evil]]: Salad Fingers tends to kill people (and animals, and puppets) without even noticing.
Line 90:
* [[Surreal Horror]]
* [[Surprise Pregnancy]]: Possibly in episode 9. Salad Fingers feels deathly ill with an affliction that makes him pale, seep a black fluid, and have a pulsating distended abdomen. Then a black blob bursts from his abdomen. After he regains consciousness, he happily accepts the slimy mass as his newborn daughter. However Salad Fingers may just be [[Through the Eyes of Madness|delusional]] as usual.
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]:
** When Hubert Cumberdale, a usually [[The Speechless|mute]] finger puppet, becomes human-sized, gains [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]], and [[Nightmare Fuel|screams]] at Salad Fingers, Salad Fingers nonchalantly knocks Hubert Cumberdale on the head with a rusty spoon and continues to sing [[The Wizard of Oz (film)|"Somewhere Over The Rainbow"]].
** The two normal human characters in the series go along with Salad Finger's requests (getting a fish out of the oven and joining him in a picnic) despite him being a creepy green man.
Line 97:
* [[Title Drop]] - The first episode.
* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]:
** Salad Fingers does this as well as cry in the cupboard when Roger assaults him with [[Brown Note
** Also he does this during a [[Freak-Out]] after a little girl speaks to him.
* [[The Unintelligible]] - Almost everyone except Salad Fingers.
Line 106:
* [[When Trees Attack]]: {{spoiler|Mr. Branches in "Letter".}}
* [[Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises]]: Happens to Salad Fingers's eyes whenever he's [[Freak-Out|Freaking Out]].
* [[World War
