==Videos==
Firth's videos are primarily revolved around Flash animation, but he also produced multiple music videos along with works of video art, which in the end made him gain recognition. 
His animation, sometimes surreal and experimental, primarily tends to contain dark humor, imagery, and topics of disturbing nature such as mental illness and depression. However, Firth has stated that upsetting or offending his audience is not one of his goals.
Firth has made multiple animated videos and a few animated series, like Jerry Jackson, Burnt Face Man, and most notably, Salad Fingers.

Salad Fingers is a Flash-animated web series and the most notable work by Firth. This series is about the eponymous protagonist who is a mentally disturbed individual who often hallucinates and indulges in self-harm.

It is shown that he enjoys the sensation of rubbing his fingers on rusty objects, such as spoons and taps. This animated series is divided into eleven episodes. This is a list of episodes of Salad Fingers.
