Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
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.
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.
Kyle Campbell On coming across Salad Fingers I was completely grossed out by the initial look of the cartoon series, yet as I watched more of the episodes I became completely engrossed in the cartoon. While others look at it as: disturbing, freaky, creepy, vile and disgusting, and wish it to be banned, those who believe it shows or expresses nothing at all. I find it extremely deep, haunting and meaningful. I find it extremely artistic and is a great image to what society might become in years to come. It's a perfect example of modern day pop art. Salad Fingers is a perfect example of the common person suffering from post-apocalyptic loneliness after all his surroundings have been destroyed by the war. What we see is Salad Fingers day to day life, acting out sheer surrealist and twisted story lines that succeed in making the viewer feel incredibly uncomfortable. We see him driven to insanity and we see the delirious mind-set in which he suffers to live through, and yet, we feel sorry for him, as we witness what alienation and loneliness can do to a person's mind, we observe his mind and his thoughts and feelings, and we see the symbolisation of the mind in it's darkest manner. I have never come across a Flash series quite like this, it really does open your mind to what the world is coming to, what we're doing to the Earth, and in time what we could do to ourselves if we succeed in perishing our world. People who appreciate art, and appreciate a profound storyline will enjoy Salad Fingers: contrary to the belief it's an absurd cartoon with little meaning.
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.
