The feeling of rust against my salad fingers...is almost....ORGASMIC...huhuh

[–]danrennt98 145 points146 points ago

would you mind if I caressed this rus-ty ket-tle?

[–]madnickhahaha 64 points65 points ago

This was the weirdest part. I fucking hated it all.

[–]Dillbill 65 points66 points ago

That was the weirdest part?? Did you watch the all of them? They are so much weirder than that.

[–]madnickhahaha 29 points30 points ago

Yeah I take that back. They recently showed some clips on "kids react" and I guess they were the tame ones. I forgot about

[–]iLOVEdux 16 points17 points ago

The one with the crow scared the fuck out of me back in the day

[–]terram_alwathani 8 points9 points ago

What's the matter, Mr. Fingers, do you not like my mouth-words?

[–]hoodie92 4 points5 points ago

Hows about the one where he puts the cat baby(?) in a fucking oven.

[–]Henkkaaaaa 6 points7 points ago

Wasn't it a little kid? Yeah I don't wanna rewatch just to find out.

[–]hoodie92 3 points4 points ago

I wasn't sure, I wrote baby at first then decided to change to cat because I don't remember it being that wrong. Maybe it was.

[–]The_Pickle_Jar 4 points5 points ago

On Reddit, it IS worse if it's a cat

[–]dufrene 1 point2 points ago

I think one of the wierdest ones for me was when he starts eating Jeremie Fishcer's head which at the end becomes his head?!

[–]mitsquirrell 19 points20 points ago

What's the matter Mr Fingers, don't you like my mouth words?

[–]fwaming_dragon 4 points5 points ago

Hubert Cumberdale, you taste like soot and poo.

[–]dufrene 1 point2 points ago

Jeremie Fischer! I thought you were fighting the great war!

[–]biggerx 4 points5 points ago

I loved Salad Fingers, go watch them again!

[–]Brakkor 5 points6 points ago

Have you checked out David firth's milkman now that's messed up

[–]2brainz 0 points1 point ago

The weirdest part I remember was I guess he likes spoons, too.

[–]Gamion 14 points15 points ago

I like it when the red water comes out

[–]masturbateToSleep 4 points5 points ago

Marjory Stewart Baxter... Your nothing but a sticky river.

[–]little_elph 3 points4 points ago

[–]Boobwatcher 3 points4 points ago

I like it when the red water runs.

[–]kmart41 9 points10 points ago

You have my vote ol' chap

[–]speakenglishinwhat 6 points7 points ago

We mustn't forget Hubert! It's Hubert Cumberdale. I didn't know one of my roommates name once so we all started calling him Hubert. "Hube" for short.

[–]oD3 7 points8 points ago

Also Horrace Horsecollar. "Nay! Nay!"

[–]WesterlyStraight 7 points8 points ago

Marjory thatcher, you taste like sunshinedust.

[–]Jazzminkey 3 points4 points ago

For the longest time I thought it was "pool"

Poo makes a lot more sense.

[–]TheWhiteSpainard 10 points11 points ago

It was Jeremy Fisher. I remember this because he was the only black puppet and he tasted bad.

Edit: My bad, Jeremy Fisher was never tasted, even worse in my opinion. If I'm going to be a finger puppet I want to be licked by a demon-salad-being.

[–]WesterlyStraight 8 points9 points ago

There was actually a rumor that Salad had multiple personalities, and that his real name was Hubert Cumberdale - a Murderous cannibalistic looney. Salad Fingers being his timid, gentle persona, that deeply resented Hubert.

[–]Evi1M4chine 17 points18 points ago

Stop that YouTube nonsense.

Watch it in ultra-mega-giga HD here:

Zoom as much as you like. It’s vectors. It goes to infinity.

Fuck, I have to go from door to door on Halloween, doing that. XD

In the same voice and looks. Shaved hair, black clothes, salad glued to my fingers…

(I’d give a gift to everyone who gets it.)

[–]PhotoshopMogul 28 points29 points ago

Slender man is the original slender man...

[–]MaliciousHobo 14 points15 points ago

Yeah this guy has nothing to do with the original Slender man

[–]tdn 3 points4 points ago

And this early 20th Century photograph of a Russian orphanage is proof.

[–]LizardRock 5 points6 points ago

thank you, i was going to rabble about how the 2 arent the same at all.

[–]Mister_Faust 65 points66 points ago

I always loved this series.

[–]kirdiegirl 51 points52 points ago

I remember watching these in middle school. I always wondered if there was some sort of metaphorical meaning behind it or if it was just weird for the sake of being weird.

[–]Cool_sandwich 38 points39 points ago

The dude who made it, made it from his dreams, he dreamt salad fingers and did a series about it.

[–]ZeekySantos 18 points19 points ago

Dude also made Burnt Face Man, which is a lot less creepy.

[–]ENTwistlesbass 11 points12 points ago

And Toast Boy, which is a lot creepier

[–]feilen 8 points9 points ago

And Dog of Man, which is not.

[–]AnarchyAntelope112 0 points1 point ago

Don't forget the 2 black and white cartoons

[–]sirus20x6 3 points4 points ago

[–]jackdavies 8 points9 points ago

And Devvo. Probably his best creation.

[–]winback099 9 points10 points ago

Someone on Newgrounds of all places actually had an interesting hypothesis about the whole thing. Might be stretching in some parts, but still fun/interesting to read over.

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/156320

[–]ooNegativeONEoo 17 points18 points ago

Newgrounds of all places

ಠ_ಠ

Salad Fingers was first popularized on Newgrounds. He's in the goddamn Portal banner.

[–]siegewolf 4 points5 points ago

Oh god, retarded animal babies. Totally forgot about that thing.

[–]Ninokun 3 points4 points ago

the guy on the right is also from the same maker as saladfinger^

[–]VINEWHIP 2 points3 points ago

STRAWBERRY CLOCK IS THE KING OF THE PROTAL

[–]winback099 3 points4 points ago

You right, you right. I remember back when it first formed and had only a hundred videos tops and the Unicron theme from Transformers as its background music -- I know it has a stigma attached to it now, as I haven't been there in years.

[–]Acid_Override 7 points8 points ago

Same. It's creepy yet his voice is so strangely relaxing.

[–]Evi1M4chine 7 points8 points ago

It is creepy because he’s so strangely relaxed.

[–]holden-magroin 10 points11 points ago

He likes rusty spoons... ಠ_ಠ

[–]Sloloem 19 points20 points ago

Sure it wasn't this guy?

[–]keeponsmilin 6 points7 points ago

May I ask where that is from?

[–]jaycrew 6 points7 points ago

The Tall Man from Phantasm.

[–]keeponsmilin 1 point2 points ago

Thanks :D

[–]101wishingstarr 5 points6 points ago

I've watched some off the videos. he is creepy

[–]zeamaize 0 points1 point ago

I wouldn't be surprised to learn later that he is a serial killer. Those videos are seriously fucked up.

[–]jandalofdoom 8 points9 points ago

For those who don't know, this is Salad Fingers

[–]Evi1M4chine 5 points6 points ago

No, this is salad fingers:

http://www.fat-pie.com/salad.htm

[–]WhiteAngelWolf 11 points12 points ago

OMG it's Salad fingers!! He's creepy as shit but I think the series is so funny

[–]Blast338 5 points6 points ago

May I touch your tea pot?

[–]fishinadish 2 points3 points ago

WTF. HOW IS THIS WTF.

[–]scuzzman 2 points3 points ago

Have you seen salad fingers?

[–]mwahahaha12345 8 points9 points ago

OMG SALAD FINGERS! "there's a fish...cooking in the oven.. But I just can't reach it! Maybe, with you supple, little frame, you can go in and reach it..." I love salad fingers!

[–]ThePeninthePocket 5 points6 points ago

That Marjorie Stewart Baxter really revs my engine.

[–]ne0codex 6 points7 points ago

[–]Evi1M4chine 8 points9 points ago

EPIC FAIL. Here is the Flash animation original:

http://www.fat-pie.com/salad.htm

Zoom it as much as you want. It’s vectors, not pixels.

[–]norealpurposehere2 15 points16 points ago

epic fail

Oh god you really just said that and meant it.

[–]sgnmac 1 point2 points ago

I found it first here

[–]AwesomeAtheist_17 32 points33 points ago

Get this out of WTF

[–]oD3 16 points17 points ago

Um, Salad Fingers pretty much invented WTF.

[–]BubbleLove95 24 points25 points ago

Yes but once you find out who it is and watch it, it is pretty WTF.

David Firth is a genius. Check out one of his side projects called "Jerry Jackson". It is unbelievably hilarious.

[–]nutstomper 0 points1 point ago

What the hell is slender man and I hated that stupid salad fingers it wasn't funny and why the fuck is it called salad fingers when theyre clearly pickles.

[–]xmashatstand 3 points4 points ago

Holy shit this takes me back. Ahhh, flash nostalgia....

[–]iForgot_My_Password 2 points3 points ago

I like it when the red water comes out.

[–]Deafiler 2 points3 points ago

The whole Slenderman thing is just hilarious to me because of how many people love it but have no idea where it came from.

Especially when they try to claim it's based on eyewitness accounts, or is old folklore.

[–]DYKTMM 4 points5 points ago

Wasn't that the whole point, though? That's my favorite thing about all this attention to Slenderman lately, it's like the dude wanted this to happen. Slenderman is only "real" if enough people believe that he's a threat.

[–]creepyeyes 2 points3 points ago

No, not at all. They're so completely different it's like saying Tom Hanks is the original Zach Galifianakis. Yeah, they're both creepy, but for totally different reasons. Slenderman is creepy in the faceless-horror-that-you-know-is-right-behind-you-but-you-don't-want-to-look way. Saladfingers is just creepy in the this-guy-weirds-me-out way. Slenderman remains mysterious and unknown to us. Saladfingers, over time, becomes better known to us as series progresses to the point where we can actually feel for him and care about him.

The media they appear in is totally different. Saladfingers is only in animated flash videos, totally controlled by one guy. Slenderman, on the other hand, exists in short stories and youtube ARGs, basically controlled by the imagination of everyone. The two characters are just so different it's exactly like comparing apples and oranges. They're both fruits. That's about it.

[–]yedd 2 points3 points ago

Probably the least WTF post in the history of r/wtf, but everyones nostalgia boners are smashing upvote.

Personally, I prefer Candlejack. I mean it's pretty creepy that you can't even say his name bef

Oh shit!!! Salad Fingers is the thing of nightmares. Slender Man ain't got nothing on him yo!

[–]reichert -1 points0 points ago

Don't you dare forget about Hubert Cumberdale.

[–]Illegal_Tender -1 points0 points ago

if slender man and salad fingers ever met, slender man would lean over to you casually and whisper "pst hey this guy is really creepy let's get out of here."

[–]stevediebel -1 points0 points ago

[–]Tycolosis 1 point2 points ago

SpoooooOOOOonnnnn

[–]cellarmonkey 0 points1 point ago

Salad Fingers is so lovable, though. He's just the senile old man next door who waters his dead rosebush everyday.

[–]ddddamn -1 points0 points ago

idk if this is wtf... it feels like someone just randomly made something and put stuff together with the sole purpose of weirding people out. Like something about it makes it feel like the person tried too hard...

[–]WaFFLeZ_BaCk 0 points1 point ago

yeah dude! SF is the best. He puts them in the oven lol

[–]future_cat_lady 0 points1 point ago

"Daddy! Daddy, it hurts!!"

[–]murderbum999 1 point2 points ago

He was awesome in the beginning. Innocent, but he came across as terrible. Remember the one that looked like he abducted a little girl, showed her around the house, and said goodbye, then she walks off? I sat there saying aloud "No no no you can't go down that path no no this is too much what are you doing..."

[–]YogiNorth 0 points1 point ago

This is my nightmare fuel. Creppy. As. Fuck.

[–]suprsolutions 1 point2 points ago

I remember the feeling I'd get while watching Salad Fingers. It was this strange isolation. I'd imagine I was where he was and it was a desolace. A loneliness that was only interrupted by strange creatures who could not relate. Weeeeiiiiirrrrddddd.

[–]Thricefold1 0 points1 point ago

I've come to inquire about your spoooons.

This shit gave me nightmares hahaha

[–]brodeh 1 point2 points ago

Clean that muc off at once Hubert Cumberdale, I'll have no dirty immigrants in MY house.

[–]Arknell 0 points1 point ago

So sad he doesn't do any web stuff anymore, think he got work producing stuff for television, earning money for his work, crap like that. Some people...

EDIT: Well don't I have to eat my hat. He put up a new thingy in August!

No that is selndermans retarded brother

[–]Justin1189 1 point2 points ago

not to put your post down. I heard spanish folk tales of slenderman when i was 5 so around 1998. Salad fingers was just the better slenderman!!

[–]TheLemonKing 0 points1 point ago

This could be complete bull-shit, but I remember reading something a couple of years ago that said Slendy was partially inspired by Salad fingers.

[–]TehGrav 0 points1 point ago

I never got the appeal or creepy of Salad Fingers, it looked like it was trying too hard. I personally found it kinda of annoying and just weird, not really creepy or WTF though.

That's salad fingers not slender man. He's just creepy and likes his spoon.

[–]RogueSpectre749 0 points1 point ago

Nope. My coworker showed me this for the first time at workk a few weeks back. Fuck that.

I have very few fears, but something about that voice and that animation gave me nightmares for a week

[–]Henkkaaaaa 1 point2 points ago

I saw a comment on youtube that explained that there was a nuclear war that killed pretty much everything and made saladfingers crazy. Saladfingers had to eat humans to survive and he made puppets out of their skin that's why he can taste them when he licks the puppets. Also the random screams the puppets make are the last screams the people did when Saladfingers killed them and ate them.

SOMEONE FIND THAT COMMENT!

[–]Boojum_Snark 0 points1 point ago

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Salad Fingers. But behavior and looks totally not the same.

[–]yodiggitydawg 0 points1 point ago

Pshh Slendy is way scarier than Salad Fingers. I watched these videos when I was 11 and found them entertaining not terrifying like Slenderman.

[–]Amsterdom 0 points1 point ago

This guys fucked up videos is what introduced me to Aphex Twin...

[–]dophie23 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure the slender man story showed up in SA a few years before this flash animation was made. I'd have to check to be positive but I'm pretty sure.
