Salad Fingers/YMMV


  • Non Sequitur Scene: Several, most of them being Salad Fingers's daydreams.
  • Cargo Ship: Salad Fingers wants to marry all the gorgeous taps.
  • Epileptic Trees: Too many to list.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Some of the extremely disturbing moments of the series include:
    • The "Somewhere over the Rainbow" sequence in episode 2 "Friends."
      • Not to mention the oven scene. "That fish smells about done..."
    • The screaming armless man wearing the BBQ apron in episode 3 "Nettles", who chases Salad Fingers home when he takes home a baby carriage.
    • The bug-eyed kid and his wedding ring in episode 4 "Cage". The ring is a human tooth on a band!
    • Episode 5 "Picnic", particularly the ending.
    • The Mind Screw Humanitarian of an ending of episode 6 "Present".
    • One of the scariest things is seeing Salad Fingers make the shaky, nervous transition from one delusion to another; he goes from bringing "baby Yvonne" (a strange object that burst from his intestines) to "Auntie Bainbridge" (the shrieky child from the first episode) to washing "Auntie"'s windows... using what was once considered "baby Yvonne" as a cleaning too.
    • Mr. Branches. Remember that tree that was apparently advancing toward Salad Fingers' house? It's alive (or at least Fingers thinks it is). It speaks with the voice of a child, calling Fingers 'daddy', and it has a hideous face. And when it gets angry, it squeezes Fingers' midsection until the aforementioned Yvonne comes out, along with a lot of black blood. Even if it's all in Salad Fingers' imagination, something caused those injuries.
  • Incest Subtext: In "Shore Leave," Salad Fingers appears to flirt with "Kenneth." Of course, it could just be SF being his Cloudcuckoolander self
  • Nausea Fuel: It's everywhere, from Salad Fingers making his green hairy nipple lactate with a nettle, to him cannibalizing on his doppelganger's brains.
    • The grub-shaped, unmoving thing that bursts from his guts in the ninth episode is made of this entirely.
      • Even more screwy is the last shot of the episode, where the object is revealed to be a sandwich. Which Fingers is now eating.
  • Tear Jerker:
    • The eighth episode has the viewers feeling genuinely sad for Salad Fingers.
    • Also the fourth episode after Salad Fingers rejects the "little boy"'s proposal, even if he's creepy and a Stalker with a Crush.
    • The episode where his brother Kenneth "returns from the great war." Actually, he's 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 when...don't know where..."
  • Ugly Cute: Salad Fingers can be this to some fans.
    • The little girl from the picnic in episode five is also fairly adorable, despite having more than a few Creepy Child traits.
  • Uncanny Valley: Salad Finger's mannerisms and appearance put him right in the dark depths of the valley.
    • Come to think of it, every single character is in the dark depths of the valley.
  • Viewer Gender Confusion - Even the protagonist itself probably doesn't know.
  • The Woobie: A few people who watch this think Salad Fingers is just too creepy, others find him creepy but also endearing. The last episode, especially, as there's a scene where he's crying and some fans said they forgot he's scary because they felt bad for him.
