Picture this: It’s 2004. You’re playing Usher’s ‘Yeah’ on repeat, thanks to your latest ‘So Fresh’ album. ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ has revolutionised your DF game and there’s this thing called ‘Salad Fingers‘ that people can’t get enough of, featuring one very freaky, poo-green omen with a fetish for rusty spoons.
It was a TIME, okay?
Now, fast-forward 14 years and the dude behind Salad Fingers, animator David Firth, just reached a significant milestone: he’s scored 1 million YouTube subscribers.
Tbf, I’ve got no idea who was googling Salad Fingers post-2005, but hey, I’m kinda into the internet’s ‘never forget’ mentality.
To celebrate the momentous occasion, Firth just dropped the first new Salad Fingers episode in way too long.
The clip, which runs for just under a minute, features old mate saying a creepy ‘thank you’ to his nettle-lovin’ fans.
“Hello. Today I’d like to thank you for one million little tiny billiard people that I get to keep in my little billiard box” Salad Fingers croans.
And, like that, I’m getting traumatic flashbacks.
Set in the barren wasteland that haunts your darkest nightmares, Salad Fingers is about to tuck into a seriously manky cake with hairy, severed digits poking out the top. VOM.
But that’s not all. No sir, it gets worse.
Hubert Cumberdale even makes a cameo, with Salad Fingers saying the pair haven’t seen each other in 23 years?? Um, it was 14 years ago dude, but righto. Definitely not gonna argue with you, cos life.
BOOM! Hubert then bursts into flames, revealing his rachet teeth to say ‘I’m really happy’ and omg I’m deceased.
While we absolutely hate everything about it, we also can’t stop ourselves from watching the clip:
