I honestly don't understand them salad fingers flash movies, is there some hidden subtle message or are they simply random and wierd?

 

[Stormy]

Rubbish...

 

[Raziaar]

What the ****. Creepy, but there doesn't seem to be a point.


You wanna know what is really sad?

People have devoted time and effort in great length to try to understand salad fingers. How bullshit is that.

Episode 5 - Picnic

Stability continues to diminish in this episode. Salad Fingers stammers in the beginning with names, and Hubert Cumberdale is now Barbara Logan Price. What's interesting to note here is the disconnected telephone and the phrase Salad Fingers utters immediately afterwards. The phone is disconnected, therefore the conversation involves Salad Fingers and Salad Fingers alone. Could Hubert be trying to surface again?

It's also interesting to note that the facial expression of Salad Fingers drastically changes into a more serious and possibly demented look when he says to himself aloud "stop scratching your basket belly". He looks possessed as he's saying it too, as though someone like Hubert was trying to come through. Salad Fingers tries to cover this by adding, as an afterthought, "said Mary Mandolin." Evidence for this is with Hubert's timely appearance. Salad Fingers looks noticeably distraught when Hubert appears, gives a new name to someone he already knows in order to mentally repress him, and offers him a 'friend hat' when this fails that seems more like a peace offering than anything else. It's just a feeble attempt to placate evil Hubert through kindness.

We see the grave again, and the girl arrives. Soon, a crow or raven shows up, foreshadowing that a bad occurrence is imminent (amplified by the fact that it's resting on a grave). It is interesting to note that, when reversed, the first quote from the raven sounds like a little girls saying "Leave me alone! Let me go! Noo!", perhaps showing that the voice of the girl in the real world gets through, but Salad Fingers distorts it until the crow steals the spoon. The phrase “There’ll be fog on the shore tonight Boson” also signifies danger, fog on the shore being dangerous to a ship coming in to port. When Salad Fingers says that the guests will be arriving soon the Hubert puppet nods which suggests that the evil side is eagerly awaiting their arrival, probably because of some evil pleasure Hubert will get from it.

During the Picnic as Salad Fingers talks to Mable and suggests she becomes his new playmate the camera focuses on the Marjory Stewart Baxter puppet in the window which remains still as he talks about Mabel's dress. It could be that Marjory Stewart Baxter was a previous victim and the appearance of the figure represents a memory in the back of his mind. Additionally, Mable eats "loganberries," an echo of his earlier renaming of Hubert Cumberdale as "Barbara Logan-Price."

As Salad Fingers is playing picnic, he is trying to resist his evil side by taking out his Spoon for control. However, when the raven takes his spoon it takes Salad’s control along with it. The girl talks coherently, momentarily breaking through into his world and it completely terrifies Salad Fingers as for the first time he gets a glimpse into the horrific reality of his life and what he is about to do to the girl. She also calls him a 'Naughty Man' which indicates sexual deviance.

It's also been suggested that Mable could in fact be the daughter of Salad Fingers and the picnic is just a memory of a good experience they had together before she died. This parallels the scene in Episode 3 where Salad Fingers mothers the nettle in an effort to reclaim parenthood. Salad Fingers mentions having a daughter as well. As of episode 7, she has never been seen, or at least has never been identified as such, one could speculate that this daughter may not exist at all and is imagined by Salad Fingers.

However, because Mable only has one appearance and a short one at that, one can't be sure that this is the case. She is obviously dead from the look of her body as she says to Salad Fingers "Don't you like my mouth words?", so it's possible that she has no familial relationship to Salad Fingers and is just someone he knew and killed, or knew and watched being killed, etc. She refers Salad Fingers as 'Mr. Fingers' which further discredits the daughter link.

The disconnected phone and the random symbols and letters in place of numbers on the phone are further evidence that Salad Fingers suffers from multiple personality disorder.

EDIT: Watching them all from the beginning... I must say, despite being extremely weird, its sort of interesting. A way to pass time and to say at least i've watched them. Some of the stuff is just plain creepy.

I find this one pretty morbid. http://www.fat-pie.com/salad7.htm

Oooooooookay. That dude was like the loser of the mutant world.

Speaking of things like that, has anyone ever seen that stupid animation where at the end it admits to wasting 30 minutes of your time? There was also something in it about kamikazie watermellons and a word that makes people explode. I'm still wondering why I bothered to sit there for half an hour and watch that.

 

[Laivasse]

Salad Fingers is awesome. It's kind of losing its magic for me after rewatching them about 100 times though. The nettles one, the burnt fish one, and the one where he talks to the toilet are kL4s1x.

If you enjoyed Salad Fingers at all, check out Berries and Roof Tiling, also at Fat Pie. Those are excellent, too. Yooou....you shut that pissing mouth of yours! YUHJUSTASTUUPIDPISS!!

 

[xombine]

The nettles one was just disturbing and gay. The names he makes up though are hilarious.

 

[Yuri]

AND
Don't look too far into it

They should totally make Salad Fingers into a 1hr 30mins live-action movie.

Ah, now i see why this needed an entire thread devoted to it.
