* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness

** Particular mention goes to the ending of episode 6, where Salad Fingers walks into his house and sees a doppelganger sitting in a chair. The Salad Fingers sitting down accuses the standing Salad Fingers of 'deflowering' his daughter's rose. The standing Salad Fingers morphs into a life-size Jeremy Fisher, goo trickling from his mouth. The sitting Salad Fingers remarks about not tasting him, and proceeds to eat the normal Salad Fingers head. It's never explained which Salad Fingers as real.

* WhamLine: "As it's Hubert's birthday, it would be rather polite if you took a hot bath.. [[spoiler:[[TheBusCameBack Milford Cubicle]].]]
* WhenTreesAttack: [[spoiler: Mr. Branches in "Letter."]]

* ArtEvolution: Compare episode one to episodes nine and ten. Between progression of technology and Firth maturing as an artist, there's a world of difference.

* AnimationBump: Episode 9, "Letter". [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as this episode came after a three-year hiatus.

* TooDumbToLive: The armless guy in episode 3 who runs after Salad Fingers after he takes a baby carrige. Since he doesn't have hands, he bangs on Salad Finger's door with his head, ''even though he still has his legs''. By the time Salad Fingers investigates the noises, he dies of blood loss.

It's ''that'' kind of series. [[http://www.fat-pie.com/salad.htm We warned you]]. There are currently 11 episodes.

A popular web cartoon created by Creator/DavidFirth, ''Salad Fingers'' is a notoriously surreal and disturbing series set in a seemingly post-apocalyptic world. 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.

->''"I like it when the red water comes out."''

* AntiquatedLinguistics: Salad Fingers talks like this-- liberal use of Northern English colloquialisms is the norm.

* 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 either only imagines the noises that he hears, or makes them himself. Because he is insane, he feels like he's completely deserted and all alone. He had gotten used to hearing no other voices except his own since all the other characters can only articulate screaming, animalistic noises. When the little girl speaks, it sends him into a panic attack because he hasn't heard any other voices but his own for a long time, which causes him to snap back into reality and realize she is a normal, ''real'' human being and not a hallucination or a monster. You'll notice that after this episode, all the other episodes include Salad Fingers crying, having bad memories, feeling lonely, and being afraid. The little girl's voice is what snaps him out of it]].

** 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 things that come even close to averting this are the red haired girl from episode 5, which is to say she looks recognizably human, and the child from episode 2 [[spoiler: who Salad Fingers shuts into his oven and cooks]] who also looks human and is even wearing a letterman jacket.

* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Salad Fingers' voice, mannerisms and dialogue are extremely unnerving, usually more so to the viewers than to the other characters.

** Salad Fingers's [[spoiler: copies/twins]] don't talk or even aknowledge him.

* SuddenAnatomy: Salad Fingers' fingers occasionally turn normal in later episodes when needed.

** 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. At least the former kid seems to be much more apprehensive about it.

* WhamLine: "As its Hubert's birthday, it would be rather polite if you took a hot bath.. [[spoiler:[[TheBusCameBack Milford Cubicle]].]]

* 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. As well as the small yellow child (referred to by Salad Fingers as "Aunty Bainbridge" in "Letter") who does nothing more than stare with his wide eyes and make screeching sounds.
