@@jeffiot I saw Nightminds and stopped and went an binged the 10 tapes, and then went back to him to watch it lol. This has been a good time for fun things to follow online, just got off the monument mythos and Gemini Entertainment. I love the non jump scare and super bloody movies really dont SCARE me. I like to get that sick in the stomach "wow thats dark" feeling. Then again the first horror I enjoyed was Lovecraft. The lovecraft rule, dont SHOW it. Telling someone that something is insanity provoking horrible beyond imagination... you cant really show the audience because honestly, nothing you can show them isnt a let down.

37:54 ← for everyone who can't find it in the video I first had to pause because my "autocorrection" automatically corrected it in my head, but I still noticed that something was off. And when I rewound and listened more closely it also earned a wide grin from me XD

[@Proletariat12]

He's still wrong in his rant about burgers. What makes a burger a burger is if you have a pattie, which is something ground up into pattie shape. So you have fish burger, hamburger (beef pattie), turkey burger, veggie burger, all because its a pattie of ground up ingredients. A sandwich does not use a pattie. A fried strip of whole chicken breast is not a pattie, so it doesn't matter what bread you use, a bun, a roll, a loaf, or a croissant, it's a sandwich. Not a burger. This is why even Mcdonalds calls their fillet o fish a fish sandwich. It's fried and breaded fish, not ground up into a pattie.

[@bareakon]

​@@Proletariat12 No what makes a hamburger is coming from Hamburg. Similarly, a chicken burger has to come from the Chickenburg province of Germany, everything else is legally a chicken sandwich. See also: Cheeseburg Fishburg Supremeburg Aberdeenangusburg Etc

[@alfredandersson875]

@@Proletariat12words derive meaning from subjective, often unspoken consensus. They are not set in stone. For most people today a burger is anything that features two similar parts - a bottom and a top - along with either protein of some sort or a replacement item, topped with sauce and vegetables. What separates it from a sandwich for most people isn’t a patty but rather when you eat it, what you eat it with, perhaps presentation, and perhaps how healthy it is. Even if you argue semantics, language is fluid and malleable. I’m sure you don’t make a fuss about people calling a singular panini sandwich a panini instead of the originally correct term of panino.

also david firth is such an amazing voice actor. like honestly i adore his voice. i hope with his role as shrimp from smiling friends he's in more things other then his own cartoons, he just is able to do such a wide range of tones and deliver his lines with this degree of believability and humanity to it. just generally pleasent to listen to. he voices almost all his characters which i really respect.

[@FarmerClarence]

The voices he's made for his various characters are all so fun to do impressions of, which to me is a sign of a great voice actor.

[@betsyrocketram]

@@FarmerClarence lmao. whenever i have to do a British accent I just do an impression of any random David firth voice. (except maybe not Stanley but I do the not stanley voice an ungodly amount even to this day its one of my favorite voices to do.)

[@phatx5219]

One thing about Firth is he reminds me of the early internet days when people just created and experimented without caring about algorithms, buzz words, going viral or messaging.

[@syddisheep5160]

Hi Jeffiot, as someone who struggles with depression and thoughts of revoking my life subscription to the planet, your little aside after episode 5 that addressed these kinds of feelings and emotions really touched me. Thank you for the reminder, I needed it today. Also, the video is great, and this is my third time watching it, but the first time that lart really hit me where I needed it.

I've had dreams where a nonsense sentence makes sense when you dream but when you wake up you have no idea why that phrase was so important. Lice pictures and organs in mains reminds me of those dreams. David must have had similar dreams.

[@hughcaldwell1034]

I've also had this. It's particularly frustrating as writing is a passion of mine, and I frequently wake up grasping at the fading remnants of what I was convinced was a genius turn of phrase.

[@antchthonius]

I cannot fathom why such a high quality video has so few views. Amazing work and dedication right here. I also want you to know that the choice of putting in subtle music like bg tunes from AirXonix was not lost on me, and I fully appreciate it.

[@jeffiot]

Hey I truly truly appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed it! If you wanna help out, please do the subscribe and like and all of that. and yes, it's actually one of my favourite aspects about putting these videos together; what songs to use that both fit the mood of the words/content while also being enough of a deep cut to feel more fresh than "overworld theme 1" but still recognizable to some. It's usually music from stuff I've watched, played or enjoyed but not exclusively. AirXonix was one of the first PC games I owned on CD.

[@nicoleh0367]

This video was so good, cant imagine how long it must have taken you to make. This series always used to be my favorite when i was little, i remember reading the comments when people were just starting to theorize that they were about dreams. David firth is honestly my favorite artist and i love how at first glance his art seems goreish and offensive just to shock, but he has continued to post such innovative and meaningful content for as long as i can remember

[@larsatticus6807]

I'm so glad I paused to watch Sock when you said to. Both because it's absolutely incredible and because I laughed my ass off when you said "I'll call him Howard, but not to his face." You did a great job recapping this, and I loved hearing your thoughts on each one! Thank you for the recommendation.

It's nice to know there are other's out there that value Firth's artistry beyond how weird and scary Salad fingers is.

[@smilesfordays]

Hey! I know I’m a year late, but I paused at 37:42 to inform you that if it’s a whole piece of chicken it’s a chicken sandwich, but if it’s a processed and formed patty (like an oversized nugget) than it is referred in some regions as a chicken burger or chicken cheeseburger… it just depends but that is a factor. Like a whole steak is a steak sandwich when put between bread slices… but if you grind it and form it… it’s a burger. 👍 Also I really like your stuff you post. It’s crazy you’re not bigger. Your work is spectacular.

[@IronBabyFists]

Oh my god, I am EXACTLY the audience for your videos. Happy I found your channel and Patreon, pal 😎 Also, I've been quoting "Aww shit, i'm trapped in yer guitar, like" for nearly 20 years now. Growing up in rural Oklahoma in the US, David Firth's stuff was integral to me forming my tastes in stuff. I think watching his stop-motion "Hell" on Newgrounds when I was eight (also playing Skullmonkeys on the PS1) is was made me like stop-motion AND horror. And that *SCARED* me. Good stuff, Jeff. Thanks for sharing!

[@hanna-liminal]

a little bit of dream interpretation; considering how gender/sexuality generally seems like a major theme in Sock Six, Carol's story in particular feels like an almost natural nightmare-version of the transgender experience. especially in the UK it's an arduous and humiliating process to gain access to required medical resources - from the too-personal questions to the invasions of privacy to the complicated half-supporting half-painful way family treats them about it. hell, Carol's scene even takes place in a bathroom! it's such a gutwrenching way to end that Sock

[@smolmoru]

I feel like sharing one of the very memorable nightmares I had: setting is a completely plain white, walled off mix of a labyrinth and skyscraper city. I was terrified and running away from my mom, but w/o any escape she'd at some point catch up to me to beat me. I woke up in tears right before she got me. it was a trauma dream, obviously. my mom never beat me tho. I got the slap on the face one or two times, but that together with her struggling with her own traumata, emotional control and the inability to admit fault/going defensive really fast did plenty of damage. the most recent nightmare I had about a year ago was me just walking along a narrow path through the woods. the path was lit by the sunlight and the shrubs on every side were pretty, but very thick so I could only go on the path. in contrat behind me was someone walking. someone I know. a girl I used to be _very_ close with. her presence alone terrified me and I silently plead over and over again not to be recognized. I also woke up in tears and incredibly terrified. that person behind me was just the sadistic(she called herself that) emotional abuser that had me in her clutches and partially completely under her control for almost a decade. that dream reflects too well the fear of the chains comming out again to drag me back into that hell. this isn't trauma dumping btw. I deliberately chose nightmares not just because I barely remember any of my few dreams and those two stayed very clear in my memory, but also because horror is interesting and so is analysing the dreams that can come from traumatic experiences and how the symbolism within represent specific aspects that could further help to identify what exactly triggers for example reliving the trauma through flashbacks. the subconscious could help to figure out how to better cope with these things through what one can learn from their nightmares. ..I swear in a life where I showed more interest in school I would've become a psychologist or something. incredibly interesting tho. dreams are a window into one's own subconsciousness and the self deep within doesn't lie like our conscious mind does. I'm rambling too much, sorry.(it's 1am lol)

[@AluVixapede]

37:30 honestly I get that feeling. I'm from the US, Specifically the Pacific North West (Perhaps this is just a northern thing). Baaasically I think the reason why we call them hamburgers is because, the ground beef is called "Hamburger" or "Hamburger meat" ---- If I took ground chicken, formed it into patties and made 'hamburgers' with it.. The vast majority of the people I know here would say "Oh, you made chicken burgers :)", same for turkey or lamb. I think we're just fixated on the idea of ground (and shaped) meat being a "burger". To further upset things, I could take roast beef (or steak pieces) and put it on a bun, with lettuce tomato and sauce, and people would be like "That's a beef sandwich!" -- Also, I really liked this video. Salad fingers basically lives rent free in my brain, but I never looked beyond that. I should watch more of their work, it's cool.

oh I absolutely love this. my dreams would prolly count as nightmares for most people but I really like my creepy af dreams 😂 the architecture especially

[@violettheory]

To Americans burgers are made with ground meat patties. You can have a chicken burger just like you can have a turkey burger or even black bean burger (not meat, but still smooshed and pressed into a patty), but that chicken would have to be ground. Fried or grilled chicken would mean it's a sandwich. You can have beef with all the same toppings and it would be called a sandwich if it's a whole piece of meat and not ground. I used to get a steak sandwich at this place that had grilled onions and peppers, cheese and tomato and it was delicious, but not a burger.

[@Koguri3108]

[@efoxkitsune9493]

This type of nonsensical fever dream-like stuff is so viscerally unsettling to me. It makes me uncomfortable to my core, scares me on this primal level that's hard to put into words. A feeling somewhere deep inside you that you can't quite put your finger on nor explain in any way, but it's as if your whole body was screaming at you that _something_ is very, very wrong, without any conscious thought coming into it. I think it's because of how inexplicable it is. You have zero control, zero understanding, you're trying to make sense of it but there is none, and that sends your poor rational brain into a sort of panic... ...or something like that. It's hard to explain exactly. But it feels like losing your footing, having the rug pulled from under you. I feel like all my childhood fears and night terrors (and there were many) were in some way rooted in this. David Firth really kinds nails what those felt like. So anyway thanks for this video.

[@Odinford]

Arfter I watched salad fingers 11 I saw david firth's other satirical works and thought they where halarious. Ive been a fan of david ever since. Glad to see your doing something more about david firth less than just salad fingers. I had basicly the same exiprence as you

[@lyinarbaeldeth2456]

It's a chicken "burger" if the chicken patty is made of ground (minced) chicken meat, the way a hamburger is made of ground (minced) beef. If it's a whole or partial chicken breast, it's a chicken sandwich. The "burger" appellation only applies when the patty is formed of ground (minced) meat of some description. Anyway, love your content!

An interesting tidbit I read a while ago, that scientists think that laughter MIGHT really be related to fear. Where does laughter come from? Its an odd thing to have if you think about it. Why did we need this? So, Imagine you are a hunter gatherer a long time ago. You and your hunting party hear something in the brush. Everyone tenses up, then a bunny jumps out and ALL that tension, all that adrenaline, needs to be flushed out. In a twofold benefit, slapping a bunch of happy chemicals in to calm you, but... that makes you laugh, really really happy. The laugh from the first person to see the bunny spreads... its a natural "all clear" alert. I think thats why comedy and discomfort works so well together, they are meant too. Want an audience to laugh, make em uncomfortable... then relieve the tension. For added fun, once they calm a bit and the adrenaline is leaving, scare the holy shit out of them... now its not a comedy its a horror movie... or... maybe both lol
