Talk:Salad Fingers/Archive 1

message: He or she? The articel talks about "he" but it seems that David has choosen to let Salad Fingers to be female: In episode 7 the loading-screen says "... she loads" and in the same episode one can see Salad Fingers in a dress on stage...
::"she loads" seems to be referring to the flash animation itself as a she. This is not unusual - someone admiring an object will often say "she's a beauty, isn't she?" etc.
::: Salad fingers is male, thats why on the website, under fan stuff. he calls the woman dressed as salad fingers "Mrs. Fingers"
:::: Salad fingers does not appear to be female, refer to episode three when he has his shirt off...the body is of a male not female. Darktrial 03:17, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gender debate 

message: Why has there been, thus far no mention of the borrowed themes, and appropriation of Chris Morris's work, namely Blue Jam/Jam? In very many ways, Salad fingers (and Firth's other work) is a pastiche of Jam, and is entirely reliant on the same formula. Why it hasn't been previously considered worries me; it seems this article currently has no real level of depth or impartiality. It needs more objectivity and have more appropriate criticism.

message: I wrote much of the Ep1 and Ep2 summeries as a discussion/theory. Since thats moved to a new page, I think that parts of the episode summary I wrote should either be moved into theories or deleted. Thoughts?
:i think its alright, maybe episode 2 needs to be a little more concise. for example, if you talk about the song 'somewhere over the rainbow', just say he sings it, and maybe in the theories page just say 'the song could possibly represent...' if you get what i mean i hope that helps. --Raddicks 03:11, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the Episode Summaries are totally out of control and desperately need a rewrite, hence the cleanup tag. They are not summaries at all, rather frame-by-frame accounts of the whole episode. A summary should be a "brief statement of the main points" and not a script. If people want detailed episode guides then by all means go and create a separate article, likewise for theories and conjecture. As it reads these 'summaries' are turgid, unreadable and far too detailed. SaintedLegion 12:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I just added a bit about the letter m and  é appearing on his teeth. I didn't notice until just today, and only by zooming in. What's up with that? 
Also, in that same section it says his name may be Salad Fingers because his fingers look like a sort of cucumber (which may appear in salad?), but I always thought it was his name because his fingers resembled.. salad fingers. Isn't that the name of the utensil used to serve salad? It is like a large fork connected to a spoon, and the "fingers" scoop up the salad into the spoon similar to a hand (fingers) do.EgyptianSushi 04:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This subject has been extensively discussed and everyone pretty much came to the conclusion that the writing means nothing. Firth even made fun of the theorists in his "Milkman" flash for saying otherwise, although you probably wouldn't have recognized it. The letters vary from an accented "e", to an "m", possible an "l", and also a foyf" who I believe is a DJ. Together, or apart, they mean nothing. Kyle Michelson 14:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Characters on teeth/name 

message: In all Salad Fingers episodes, there are usually some parts of images and objects (such as characters) that extend beyond the borders of the aspect ratio of the movie.  One can only see this by viewing the movie as a stand-alone in the browser or player, by opening the actual .swf file rather than viewing the movie embedded in an HTML page (which would maintain the aspect ratio of the view).  Because the movie will always dynamically size itself to be as big as possible within the dimensions of the browser window without distorting its aspect ratio, at any given time, one can view only the extraneous segments on the top and bottom OR on the left and right, depending on whether the horizontal or vertical dimension is the one constraining the movie's size. However, by using Macromedia Flash Player and changing the View setting to 100%, rather than Show All, and maximizing the window, one can see what is on all sides of the normal movie itself.
Removed this section from the article - objects extending outside the boundaries of what will usually be seen are an unavoidable byproduct of Flash animation and not 'glitches'. Instructions how to view these are not relevant to the article. --Richmeister 17:01, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Kinda off-topic, but everything in Salad Fingers is up to the interpretation of the viewer. He could merely be an ordinary man, in an ordinary world, with  a very unordinary life. He could be mentally ill, depressed, unmedicated, etc. and everything that we see could just be how he views the world - his green skin, and the desolate wasteland that he lives in, his mind completely isolated from reality.

text: Given the nature of the world Salad Fingers lives in, there's not necessarily any reason to think his "Great War" is the same thing as WW1. The cartoon presents a very distorted view of "reality," so I have to say making that connection is OR at best.

:In various places, the cartoons are called "disturbing" and "surreal", in an objective way.  I personally do not find it horrifying, just weird.  There are probably message boards (not on wikipedia) where you can share these impressions, but wikipedia is not the place for individual editors to share their impressions of a subject; otherwise we end up with passages that say stuff like "some people have commented that the cartoons are horrifying", which is language explicitly to be avoided (see for example WP:WEASEL).

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Salad Fingers.jpg

message: According to the article, "[Mable] is the first character other than Salad Fingers who can communicate in English, and she is the first person other than Salad Fingers to actually speak—something that seems to shock and dismay Salad Fingers."
If I remember correctly, the little boy in Episode 2 is clearly crying out "Help me" in English. Don't know if that's significant enough to bother changing the article over, but to say that Mable is the first person other than SF to speak is inaccurate. 144.131.46.192 02:18, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also, the article claiming that he "not likely" killed Mable is false given Salad Fingers paranoid schizophrenia. It is clear from the sequence of him losing his most treasured prize (the spoon) and her giggling that he probably killed her in rage. The "gouging of her eyes" sequence while he cowers in the corner is a flashback of killer's remorse (as if to say "what have I done").  It's a reoccurring theme throughout the series as seen with him eating another being (thinking it was Jeremy Fischer), how he treats the grubworm, and the armless man he finds at his door. It not only explains his source food, but also that his psychosis makes him an "accidental murderer" (sort of like a child who "pets too hard" and kills his animal friend).Anthiety (talk) 06:20, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Question 

message: Salad Fingers was originally listed as being schizophrenic and having pica.  This has been changed to him merely having psychosis.  Salad Fingers has many of the identifiable traits of the disorganized schizophrenic (odd use of language, neologism, word salad) especially noteworthy are "grubby tap" and "you look so beautiple".  The references Salad Fingers makes show disorganized thinking:  his 'frolicking by the riverside' with Kenneth went back to a memory of him counting the distance between his house and a tree.
Salad Fingers also illustrates pica on a number of occasions: the eating of string/hair, a doll, and sand.  Sand is a classic example of geophagy.
I can understand him not be classified as schizophrenic but the pica part I don't understand.  Thoughts?  Kronermark (talk) 00:50, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why was the David Firth article deleted? 

message: I believe that Salad Fingers is meant to, in a surreal way, demonstrate the mind of a loner, as in someone who enjoys solitude from other human beings, and show the simple innocence of his mind.
It obviously becomes clear from the first episode that their is little or no malice in Salad Fingers whatsoever, and any violent deaths he causes have been completely accidental. When he discovers a corpse (whom he dubs "Milford Cubicle") outside of his house, he even invites it in for "Warm Milk," and when he accidentally kills a large woodlouse, he shows no apparent realisation that it has died, and that he has killed it, only saying "Well I shan't play with you again until you've had a wash!"  
Salad fingers makes several references to out-of-date songs and events"I thought you were out fighting the great war!""Peas pudding hot, peas pudding cold, peas pudding in the pot nine days old!", and I think that this suggests that Salad Fingers has perhaps been uninformed of the current events since World War 2.
One of the most confusing episodes is episode 6. In this episode, Salad Fingers happens upon a toilet and becomes visibly terrified at what is implied as his own reflection. When he returns home, he is stunned to see a vision of himself, accusing him of indecent thoughts. My only conclusion to this rather strange turn of events is that Salad Fingers has become so accustumed to living alone that he becomes apprehensive at the sight of his own face, which I think might remind him of his own race of people, which this theory implies that he tried to get away from . Indeed, in episode 8, he comes across a radio which accuses him in a similair manner to his Doppelganger in episode 6, giving further evidence to what I think Salad Fingers sees himself and other people (people who actually communicate with words) as: constantly accusing and ruining his solitude which he clearly enjoys, perhaps showing why Salad Fingers lives alone and why he becomes terrified at when an actual person actively talks to himEpisod 2: Picnic.
The fact that he enjoys rusty spoons and nettals, I think, is simply a character trait (maschisism), perhaps a side-effect of his solitude, although it may have a deeper meaning. 
None of this theory is supported in Episode 1, but that episode was probably meant to be comedic, and Salad Fingers as a recuse most likely was developed more in later episodes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SoulSyphon (talk • contribs) 14:49, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I believe that Salad Fingers is a man experiencing some sort of mental illness, probably schizophrenia-- ongoing, persistent psychosis. He hears noises and voices coming from inanimate objects (e.g. a disconnected phone, a dead radio, puppets, a toilet ...), sees strange things, like a desolate wasteland, his doppleganger, a puppet turning to a "sticky" river - which would qualify as hallucinates - and believes in the possible delusion of an ongoing war that may or may not be real.

replies: text: I don't have time to look over the archive of the deleted article, but @Throast has made a lot of edits to this one in the month since the AfD. I can't imagine they haven't merged any information. ThadeusOfNazerethTalk to Me! 10:17, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to be clear, the article wasn't deleted. David Firth, which is the article in question, was initially redirected to this article, then turned into a disambiguation page shortly after, so the edit history is still visible. , I believe I did integrate a few sources provided at the deletion discussion. Otherwise, nothing merge-able stuck out to me because there was little topical overlap between the two articles. Throast (talk | contribs) 10:43, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks. The argument seems to be: "Salad Fingers is what's famous, and it's more notable than Firth, so Firth himself can't be considered notable." Apparently there's "little topical overlap between the two articles." Martinevans123 (talk) 22:19, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
