History TearJerker / SaladFingers

** The use of [[LonelyPianoPiece Avril 14th]] by Music/AphexTwin certainly helps.

* Any time [[Music/AphexTwin ''Rhubarb'']] is played; it just makes [[GoMadFromTheIsolation Salad]] [[TheWoobie Fingers]] seem so... [[AfterTheEnd hopeless.]]

-->'''Glass Mother:''' I'd rather starve than watch this ''pathetic'' display! You'll forever be a lonely little reflection.\\

* The episode where Salad Fingers's little brother Kenneth "returns from the great war." In actuality, Kenneth is a decomposed half-corpse he found in the ground. Made even sadder when he puts him back in the hole and cries, saying "We'll meet again...don't know where...don't know when..."
* The horse crying while Dr. Papanak rips his flesh in "Birthday". Salad Fingers just tells him to stay still.

* The eighth episode, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oykmawhKWhc "Cupboard"]] has the viewers feeling genuinely sad for Salad Fingers. After having a hallucination about his radio (who demands that he give back some hairs he found on the floor), he refuses and hides in his "protection cupboard". The last scene shows him eating the hairs while crying, and the camera zooms back to show his house, as you hear him crying, which is pictured above. It really shows how Salad Fingers is starting to realize how alone he truly is.

** There's also the scene where Salad Fingers is trying to pass the porridge to his "mother", but his reflection won't let him. Salad Fingers starts ''crying'' as he is then cruelly mocked and teased for being weak.
-->'''Salad Fingers''': He keeps on... Stop it! He's doing it! Look at, he's... (InelegantBlubbering)

--> '''Glass Mother''': I'd rather starve than watch this ''pathetic'' display! You'll forever be a lonely little reflection.
--> '''Salad Fingers''': I-it's not fair. I've been in here for far too long. I want to come home now!
--> '''Glass Brother''': Those cacky spider fingers aren't going anywhere, Andrew hands!
--> '''Salad Fingers''': ''(gasps)'' W-what a horrible thing to say...

Despite ''WebAnimation/SaladFingers'' being one of the [[NightmareFuel most disturbing]] and stars a prime example of a NightmareFuelStationAttendant, the series can get [[TearJerker genuinely saddening]] as well.

* Also the fourth episode after Salad Fingers rejects the "little boy"'s proposal. Even if he's a [[NightmareFuel creepy, embryo-looking monster]] and a StalkerWithACrush.

* Salad Fingers' situation in episode 11 can be rather upsetting, as he spends most of it being bullied by his reflection and verbally abused by an elderly old hag inside the mirror.
