It pains me to say this, but it surely’s been 20 years since David Firth’s Salad Fingers made its debut and irrevocably altered the humor of the web. The primary episode of the online sequence hit Newgrounds on July 1, 2004. To mark this milestone birthday, Firth dropped a twentieth anniversary particular earlier this week that sees the titular Salad Fingers taking a stroll down reminiscence lane, bringing us all the best way again to these early moments that seared the phrase “I like rusty spoons” into the collective consciousness of a complete technology of web customers.
Issues gained’t be precisely as you keep in mind them, although. That is the way it all went down based on Salad Fingers and, effectively, are we actually anticipating Salad Fingers to be a dependable narrator? The 7-minute video expands the lore a bit and revisits characters just like the shrieking “younger little one” (who has some clarifications to make relating to their identification) and the disturbing finger puppet buddies Hubert Cumberdale, Marjory Stewart-Baxter and Jeremy Fisher. If you happen to’ve adopted the sequence over time and made all of it the best way to 2023’s “Harvest,” you’ll additionally acknowledge the completely horrifying Melvin Wishcake, who Salad Fingers refers to this time as “Manky Melvin, the pungent reject.”
I’ve acquired a tender spot in my coronary heart for this deranged cartoon, as I’m positive a lot of you do, and this was an actual deal with. I’d simply should dive again in and rewatch the entire sequence now, which is as much as 13 episodes not counting this newest particular. Thanks for the (cursed) reminiscences, Salad Gregory Stuart Fingers.
