Sup. Some of you probably know of that up and coming flash series Salad Fingers which has grown pretty popular. The creator of it is called David Firth and he has made so many sick and brilliant flashes that I figure he needs a thread of his own. I'll link to all my favorite creations of his here (I'm bored) so check them out, damnit. Anyone else likes him?

Be warned though that some of his flashes might not be appropriate for people with weak nerves and shit like that (then again I'm very easily scared myself and I can watch them no problems, so...)

Here we go:

Salad Fingers Collection (http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/saladfingers.html)
This is the flash series that made Firth famous in the flash communities. Basically it's about a sick schizo thingy named ehh.. Salad Fingers. I don't really know what else to say other than it's downright insane and great. Go watch it. There are some parodies there too but most of them suck.

The Milkman (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/190638)
This milkman probably has seen better days.

Spoilsbury Toast Boy (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/189804)
This is just great, about a little crazy kid who well... has a certain connection with cute bugs.

Spoilsbury Toast Boy-1 (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/196667)
This is actually a prequel to STB. It explains some more things and takes you on a journey into the little boy's psyche. I love this one.

Roof Tiling (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/222919)
This is my favorite of all David's flashes. It's pretty short and very sad. It's about a -really- insane man (reoccuring theme) who.. well, enjoys tending to the roof. Just watch it.

Scribbler (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/178020)
David's first flash. Not very nicely done, and lacks voice acting, but still - I think it's a great piece of work. This one sets the pace for his other stuff.

There you go, he's done some other things (such as the comedy series Burnt Face Man - which is actually very hilarious and not insane like his other stuff... well at least not in the same way). Just head to his site (http://www.fat-pie.com/) and you'll see.

Well, discuss or something.

I love Firth's work, and I have to say that "Scribbler" is my favorite out of them all despite being his first. There's just something special about it.

I also loved his Valentine flash which can be seen here (http://www.fat-pie.com/love.htm). Fucked up, but describes the feelings of many including myself when it comes to Valentines day

Hadn't seen Roof Tiling before. It was rather cute.

Calling Roof Tiling cute? I would call it insane but that's just my opinion on it. All of his work is rather insane but i like it in some weird way.

He reminds me a little of Tim Burton, saw a documentary on Tim about a year ago and it featured to of his cartoon shorts he made in college i think and they were dark and rather weird just like Firth's work.

Scary man scary man!

I'm a fan of Scribbler myself, the problems the character in that one had were not so impossible to identify yourself with (though his was of a far worse condition of course).

The Milkman cracks me up every time. My friends and I often walk around singing it at the top of our voices (while drunk).

The Child That Smelled Funny (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/230292)
Can't believe I forgot this. It's about 9 minutes and very different from his other stuff (it's comedy!).
Great stuff.
