A cartoon character created by David Firth that appears mentally insane and deranged. His characteristics seem to resemble that of the symptoms of Schizoprehenia.
Salad Finger's journey takes place throughout shows he appears in that show the world form a gloomy, cynical perspective probably to which Salad Fingers mental illness leads himself to belive. His characters resemble that of fictitious friends such as Hubert Cumberdale. Symptoms of his deranged personality and illness include: attracting to bloodshed, favoring the act of caressing rusty objects such as spoons, gathering fabricated friends, ignoring reality (ex: Conversing on a disconnected phone, and sharing dinner with an inanimate and deceased carcus). This all, of course, is fictional and thought up by David Firth with the help of a Canadian Music Ensemble and ideas from an alternative source.
The series has been parodied and sequeled (with no prequels) and is featured originally and primely on NewGrounds.Com and Fat-Pie.com (1 of which NewGrounds.com contains ratings to its contents).

Salad Fingers is a well known cartoon created by David Firth. The title character is a vaguely human being, with the exception of having green skin and very long "Salad Fingers". Salad Fingers has a strange fondness for rusty objects, especially spoons, and a love for taps. And also a fondness for pain. SF is otherwise a very polite, cordial, and almost friendly person. He lives in a world that is either:
1. A disturbing post-apocalyptic wasteland
2. A frightening insight into the mind/imagination of a very lonely and psychotic serial killer
3. A drug trip
Salad Fingers' only friends are finger puppets named Hubert Cumberdale, Marjory Stewart-Baxter, and Jeremy Fisher. Salad Fingers talks to them and believes them to be real. And the fact that he sees them as real, living, life-size people at certain points throughout the cartoon is a clue to the fact that what we are seeing is possibly not a post-apocalyptic reality but a current, or past, un-reality which exists in the mind of the mentally ill Salad Fingers himself.
His three imaginary "friends" are not the only other beings that Salad Fingers encounters.
There's little boy who SF visits and requests spoons from.
There's another young man who answers when SF calls for help. SF asks him to help get a fish out of the oven. But SF sees a rusty nail and reaches for it, piercing his finger and unintentionally letting the oven door close. SF then passes out and the young man winds up accidentally being cooked in the oven.
There's also Harry (called "Milford Cubicle" by Salad Fingers) which is the corpse of an armless man who died trying to break into Salad FInger's house. However, Salad Finger's hasn't got any clue that he's dead and proceeds to take him inside the house and play him a song on the flute.
There's a un-named little bug-eyed alien boy who loves Salad Fingers but his affections are either not understood or un-returned.
There's Bordois, a little bug who is accidentally squished by Salad Fingers. As usual, SF doesn't notice he's dead and continues to talk to him.
There's Mable, a young girl who goes to a picnic with Salad Fingers and frightens him badly when she speaks English. Apparently he hasn't heard coherent speech from anyone other than himself in quite a long time.
There's Kenneth, another corpse. He was/is Salad Fingers' younger brother who went off to fight the "great war". When Salad Fingers finds his body he brings him inside, feeds him a meal of sand, and then says a tearful goodbye before returning him to the "ghastly trenches" (really a hole in he ground where Kenneth's body was found)
There's Horace Horsecollar, a toy horse that Salad Fingers thinks is a real horse.
And then there's Roger, an apparently broken radio that somehow still emits extremely creepy noises. This terrifies SF into hiding in his cupboard, where SF finds a hair which he saves and adds to his other three. When SF emerges from the cupboard, the radio begins speaking more coherently and instructs SF to clean up his dirty house. When SF protests, Roger the radio forces him to eat all four of the hairs which causes SF to break down and sob hysterically.
The cartoon itself is EXREMELY disturbing, very gory, and gruesome, but also extremely hard to resist watching in an odd way. Kind of like a car wreck: you know you're going to see something you'll regret that will possibly scar you for life, but you can't help watching anyway. Salad Finger's disturbingly gruesome nature and eeriness only add to it's appeal. And you find yourself somehow actually caring about this little psychotic green man who loves rust and pain, and chatting with dead bodies and puppets.
Go figure.
And if you don't want to have a permanent distaste for salad, and a downright phobia of toilets, finger puppets, and radios, don't watch.

Salad Fingers is NOT a woman, HE is a man. He lives in a small cabin and has random visits from his kooky friends. He lives for rusty spoons and has often dreamt of taps. He is easily excited and likes it when the red water comes out.
"Do you not like my mouth words."
"Where have you gotten to?"
"You look so beautiful...sob....It's your big day."
"You're all ready for the big race."
"Jeremy Fisher, I thought you were off fighting the great
war."

Salad Fingers is basically the shit! The movies are so creepy and I love them. Everyone I know knows at least one line from every Salad Fingers movie, that's how awesome these movies are.

Salad Fingers is not only the creepiest thing I may have ever seen in my entire life, but it is also the best as well. With quotes like:
"The feeling of rust against my salad fingers is orgasmic..."
It's like, how could you NOT like it?
"The feeling of rust against my salad fingers is orgasmic..."
It's like, how could you NOT like it?

Salad Fingers could best be described as a massachistic, skitzophrenic recluse, attracted only to pain and rust. It's human nature to find ourselves drawn to something that we find odd, especially if we're not one hundred percent certain why it has this effect on us. Salad Fingers is the perfect example: If one was to read every new grounds comment for Dave's SF toons, they would find that many of them sounded sincerely disturbed, but found themselves drawn to it at any rate. I find it interesting how many people are hooked on David's work, and I am amused at how much energy his fans devote to trying to interpret its meaning. I agree with many people who say that Salad Fingers stands out among the millions of brainless and clichéd flash toons that make up a large majority of internet space. I'm not knocking other flash toons or anything, really, I just think that Salad Fingers stands brilliantly and mysteriously on its own.

Gender confused "it" that lives in the middle of nowhere, in shack #22. All of his "friends" left him to go to the great war. He randomly names objects and bugs. He has a very "colorful" imagination and a preferance for rusted metal. He likes it when the "red water" comes. He has a lack of intelectual skills and utterly terrified by human speech except for his own, as shown in episode 5. There are currently 7 episodes all of which created by David Firth.
