The title character is a grotesque recluse with [[CreepyLongFingers long green fingers]], a seemingly sexual {{fetish}} for rusty objects, masochistic tendencies, several {{Companion Cube}}s, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} a very loose grip on reality]], and a habit of (possibly unintentionally) killing or otherwise harming everyone he meets.

** Regarding the little girl freakout, an interesting way to look at it (and likely the genuine one): [[spoiler:Salad Fingers only imagines the noises that he hears, or makes himself. Because he is insane, he must feel like he's truly all alone, and deserted. When the red-haired girl speaks, he is disturbed and alarmed because he realizes he is in reality, and she is human. You'll notice that after this episode, all the other episodes include Salad Fingers having bad memories, crying, and being afraid. The little girls voice, is what snaps him into reality]].

----
!!This nightmare of a series provides examples of:
* AfterTheEnd - A common interpretation of the setting.
* AndCallHimGeorge: Salad Fingers gives his "little sister" Bourdoise the woodlouse a "big stroke" and ends up squishing it.
* AnimationBump: 'Letter'.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: Salad Fingers talks like this-- liberal use of Northern English colloquialisms is the norm.
* ArmlessBiped: Milford Cubicle in the third episode.
* [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!]]: In the second episode, Salad Fingers is distracted by a rusty nail in the wall while holding the oven door open, and lets it shut on the kid he asked to grab his fish for him.
* {{Autocannibalism}}: This happens in one episode. [[MindScrew Or maybe not]]. Its not very clear just what is going on, only that Salad Fingers likes his doppelganger's [[BrainFood brains]].
* BlackHumor: Lapses into this occasionally
* {{Blipvert}}
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Salad Fingers says "Hello!" to the viewer sometimes.
* BriefAccentImitation: Salad Fingers can randomly speak French or Jeremy Fisher's "strange dialect."
* BreakTheCutie: Even though most people find Salad Fingers scary rather than cute, in Episode 8, when Roger reduces Salad Fingers to a sobbing, moaning miserable wreck curled up in the fetal position in his Saftey Cupbord, you can't help but want to give the poor guy a hug.
* BrownNote: Roger the radio uses these to upset Salad Finger's insides.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: At least to Salad Fingers. "Red water" = blood, "nettle carrier" = baby carriage, and "floor sugar" = sand, to name a few.
* ChestBurster: In episode 9, Salad Fingers feels deathly ill immediately before a slimy black mass bursts from his abdomen.
* ClipArtAnimation - [[WaltDisney Horace Horsecollar]], the taps and various other objects.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Salad Fingers
* CompanionCube - Several. The finger puppets Hubert Cumberdale, Jeremy Fisher, and Marjory Stewart-Baxter. Also, Horace Horsecollar (a toy horse) in the sixth episode, Kenneth (a mummified corpse) in the seventh, Roger (a radio) in the eighth, and Yvonne (a slimy black infant-sized mass) in the ninth.
* CrapsackWorld
* CreepyChild: The little girl in "Picnic", at least in-universe. She doesn't really do anything scary, but she manages to terrify Salad Fingers himself. The child-like... ''thing'' in "Cage" and Mr. Branches from "Letter" may also qualify.
* CreepyDoll: Any of Salad Finger's three finger puppets can be this. To elaborate, Hubert Cumberdale can become human-sized, gain red eyes, and scream for no apparent reason, as well as randomly turn into a black liquid that burns at the touch. Marjory Stewart-Baxter jealously watches Salad Fingers have a picnic with a little girl through the window. Jeremy Fisher can also become human-sized, stores a weird green fluid in his plugged-up mouth, and can suddenly transform into [[MindScrew a second Salad Fingers]] [[ImAHumanitarian to get eaten alive by the first.]]
* {{Crossdresser}}: Salad Fingers does this on occasion for no apparent reason. At least, it's ''probably'' crossdressing.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite being a creepy noseless green man who lives in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Salad Fingers seems to be friendly and nice. [[{{AndCallHimGeorge}} What happens to]] [[{{ObliviouslyEvil}} the people around him]], though...
* DerangedAnimation
* DeusExMachina: Salad Fingers escapes from the "little boy" who put him in a cage to propose to him by dropping a curtain and then apparently flying away on a giant tap.
* EarRape: There are many sudden loud noises, drawing the viewer into a sense of paranoia. Translation: Don't listen with the volume up high.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Salad Fingers will eat stuff like finger puppets, sand, and hairs on scotch tape.
* EyeScream: Not exactly graphic but still enough to make you shudder. During episode 8, Salad Fingers takes a strand of hair and slowly drags it across his eyeball.
* FanDisservice: Salad Fingers without his shirt on: emaciated and hairy with a scar on his abdomen. {{Squick}}.
** Depends on the fan. There's fan art on [[http://www.deviantart.com deviantART]] with him shirtless. (But they made him look less squicky.)
* {{Fetish}}: Spoons, rust, hypovolemia, and nettles are apparently this to Salad Fingers.
* FreakOut - Salad Fingers, on a regular basis. Such as when the little girl speaks to him in episode 5, or when [[ItMakesSenseInContext he's at the toilet]] in episode 6.
** Regarding the little girl freakout, an interesting way to look at it (and likely the genuine one): [[spoiler:Salad Fingers only imagines the noises that he hears, or makes himself.

You'll notice that after this episode, all the other episodes include Salad Fingers having bad memories, crying, and being afraid. The little girls voice, is what snaps him into reality]]. Credits go to a comment on YouTube.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: One theory as to why Salad Fingers is so mentally disturbed.
* {{Gonk}}: Basically every character. See below.
* GrotesqueGallery: Everybody. EVERYBODY. Including:
** Salad Fingers himself: a bald, noseless, [[RedEyesTakeWarning red-eyed]], lanky green "man" with three fingered prong-like hands and filthy yellow teeth.
** A large eyed and limbless "young child" whose head looks like a kernel of corn from the first episode.
** In episode 3, the screaming man with a combover and wearing a "BBQ" apron has no arms.
** A "little boy" from episode 4 who stalks Salad Fingers. It has [[BlackEyesOfEvil black]] bulging eyes, needle-like teeth, and a large [[GoodScarsEvilScars scar]] on its bald, veiny, and oversized head.
*** The only thing that comes even close to averting this is the red haired girl from episode 5, which is to say she looks recognizably human.
* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The eponymous letter from the episode "Letter" is read aloud by Salad Fingers for a few seconds at the beginning. The rest of the episode [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment has absolutely nothing to do with it.]]
* HeroicBSOD: The ending of [[spoiler: episode 5.]]
* [[HeyItsThatGuy Hey, It's That Guy]]: Datach'i himself plays piano on one episode.
* HighPressureBlood: In episode 2, when Salad Fingers stabs one of his fingers with a nail in the wall, he bleeds himself unconscious within seconds.
* ImAHumanitarian - Salad Fingers eats Jeremy Fisher (who turns out to be ''[[{{Mindscrew}} himself]]'') in one of his FreakOut moments.
* ItTastesLikeFeet - "Hubert Cumberdale, you taste like soot and poo!"
* LampshadeHanging:
** In episode 5, the creepy crow gags in disgust when Salad Fingers feeds the little girl "pease pudding" using a rusty spoon taken out of a pouch made up of ''pieces of human skin sewn together.''
*** Some even believe it says "Fuck you" in a distorted voice; there ''is'' a "fuh" sound in there, but YMMV on whether that is the message.
** In episode 8, Roger remarks that Salad Fingers's house is filthy and demands that he clean it up.
* {{Leitmotif}} - "Beware the Friendly Stranger" by BoardsOfCanada.
* LooksLikeOrlok - Salad Fingers, while lacking any nose or ears, is bald, hunchbacked, has creepy claw-like hands, and has filthy teeth.
* {{Mindscrew}} - All of it.
* MrImagination: Salad Fingers.
* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable - Salad Fingers digs up the corpse of his brother Kenneth and has dinner with him - assuming that ''was'' his brother, and he wasn't playing a macabre imagination game with whatever/whomever was lying around.
* NiceHat: Salad Fingers wears a beret when he wants to visit France. Also [[strike: Hubert Cumberdale]] Barbara Logan-Price and his bosun hat.
* TheNicknamer: Salad Fingers, to ''everything.''
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant - Salad Fingers' voice, mannerisms and dialogue are extremely unnerving, usually more so to the viewers than to the other characters.
* NoFourthWall: Mostly during the earlier episodes, Salad Fingers will address the audience with a friendly "Hello" and then explain his adventure for the day.
* NoodlePeople: This is how Salad Fingers is drawn.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Salad Fingers tends to kill people (and animals, and puppets) without even noticing.
** The "people" part is debatable. The only humans who have died in the series have been the boy who got stuck in the oven while Salad Fingers was passed out, and the man who died from banging his head on the door. Salad Fingers can't really be said to have killed either of them, though he's certainly ''oblivious'' enough to be capable of this.
* OhCrap: Taken [[UpToEleven to far beyond merely unrealistic proportions]] in [[spoiler: episode 5, after a crow steals his spoon.]]
* OurMonstersAreWeird: Only two creatures in this series are normal humans.
* RavensAndCrows: A particularly creepy crow appears in episode 5 during the picnic.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Salad Fingers'.
* ScareChord: By Hubert Cumberdale in the meat locker scene in episode 2. Also by baby Yvonne's "birth" in episode 9.
* SceneryGorn: Unless Salad Fingers is daydreaming, the setting will be a desolate wasteland full of [[OurMonstersAreWeird weird]], [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]] creatures. The only plants are dead trees, weeds, and nettles. Also Salad Finger's house is dark, severely dilapidated, and filthy.
* SilentPartner: Salad Fingers's three finger puppets, as well as Horace Horsecollar.
* ShoutOut - Salad Fingers' telephone has the AphexTwin logo on it.
* SplitPersonality - Salad Fingers has quite a few of them.
* StalkerWithACrush - The little boy from the fourth episode, who lures Salad Fingers into a bear trap by using a tap, and puts him in a cage in order to propose to him.
* SuddenAnatomy - Salad Fingers' fingers occasionally turn normal in later episodes when needed.
* SurrealHorror
* SurprisePregnancy: Possibly in episode 9. Salad Fingers feels deathly ill with an affliction that makes him pale, seep a black fluid, and have a pulsating distended abdomen. Then a black blob bursts from his abdomen. After he regains consciousness, he happily accepts the slimy mass as his newborn daughter. However Salad Fingers may just be [[ThroughTheEyesofMadness delusional]] as usual.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight:
** When Hubert Cumberdale, a usually [[TheSpeechless mute]] finger puppet, becomes human-sized, gains [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]], and [[NightmareFuel screams]] at Salad Fingers, Salad Fingers nonchalantly knocks Hubert Cumberdale on the head with a rusty spoon and continues to sing [[Film/TheWizardOfOz "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"]].
** The two normal human characters in the series go along with Salad Finger's requests (getting a fish out of the oven and joining him in a picnic) despite him being a creepy green man.
** To be fair, other than those two kids themselves, Salad Fingers is the ''least'' creepy creature we see roaming the wasteland.
* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness
* TitleDrop - The first episode.
* TroubledFetalPosition:
** Salad Fingers does this as well as cry in the cupboard when Roger assaults him with [[BrownNote Brown Notes]].
** Also he does this during a FreakOut after a little girl speaks to him.
* TheUnintelligible - Almost everyone except Salad Fingers.
** In fact, when one character actually speaks to him, he is profoundly disturbed. "What's wrong? Do you not like my mouth-words?"
** The Radio in episode 8 at first just emits creepy noises, then begins speaking back to Fingers with Fingers's own voice.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Actually, the creator has the words "Welcome to my Acid dungeon" at the top of his home-page, so maybe this is an aversion....
* WhenTreesAttack: [[spoiler: Mr. Branches in "Letter".]]
* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: Happens to Salad Fingers's eyes whenever he's [[FreakOut Freaking Out]].
* WorldWarOne - Salad Fingers frequently makes reference to "the Great War", although the significance of this is never explained. It could also refer to TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
