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.

Since there are already a bunch of great definitions of this, I'll only add my two cents:
This has got to be one of THE MOST disturbing things I have seen, and I have seen many, many disturbing things. I'm not one to be creeped out

salad fingers is a silly man who is just trying to make it in this world of nettles and rusty spoons.
"i want to marry all you gorgeous taps"
"the feeling of rust agains my salad fingers is almost orgasmic"

I think salad fingers is great.
He's one of the best cartoon's I have seen in my life (and that is a lot).
I really have no idea why he's called salad fingers though...
But I think he's great!

Salad fingers is a flash animation by the wonderful and disturbing mind of David Firth. Salad Fingers seems to be a man based on schitzophrenia patients with other mental problems as well. he sees the world as not really there due to his mental illness and seperation from what is going on.
it is true that you have to have a little bit of brain-power and the give-a-damn to see beyond the obvious picture, which in itself is stupid, pointless, disturbing. once you see the meaning behind it, it's a very insightful and artistic look into the mind of a mentally ill person. if you can gather the awesome strength of not mindlessly gazing at the pretty pictures and the groups of letters called 'words', it's easier to grasp the concept David Firth is laying out there. it's really sad, seeing as alot of people out there think the way Salad Fingers does...if you don't like it, fine, but the show brings up very true points about the world and its people.

idgit a: salad fingers is so dumb! he's icky!
nam: you don't have a psychologic bone in your body. go back to watching powerpuff girls; that's probably mindless enough for your mental capacity.

Salad Fingers is a man who has schizophrenia and sees the world differently than us. When you see an episode, the setting is what he sees not you. The people he meets are seen and sound non-human save the corpse and the girl he talked to. He has three puppets which act as his other personas. Hubert is his murderous side and Jeremy is probably what he really is, but then there is Marjorie, his coforting side, possibly his mother's persona. He meets five people who are shown as the first litle boy (maybe a kid who he met one day),a high schooler (first victim maybe?) an adult who dies at his door step (maybe a neighbor he killed), that weird boy (probably the same little boy who he met and who nows likes him), and that little girl (might be a kid he killed, now haunts his mind). He has also secluded himself to the point of hallucination. He also turned psychotic at the loss of his friends who he probably killed and blamed the "War" (actually maybe the War is what made him crazy) on their deaths. He is also a gender confused man who switches roles of Man to Woman to Boy and back to Man. His house or apartment is number 22 and his hallucinations turn into demented reality in a click. Salad Fingers is just a man who was messed up and now is lonely and psychotic.
"Ew Hubert Cumberdale you smell like soot and poo"
"I never sampled your delights Jeremy"
"Clean that Muck off... I shan't have any dirty immigrants in my home..."
Salad Fingers imagines himself eating himself to explain tasting Jeremy Fisher's taste...

Salad fingers is a mentally ill man who lives in some sort of wasteland / refuge for the insane. his only companions are his equaly crazy neighbors and a few sock puppets. He enjoys the feel of rusty metals and that has replaced sex in his psyche. He probally got his name from noting that his fingers were solid and confused it with "salad".
