Hello a fellow ender

[@theravens_keeper9146]

Probably a scared man, trying run from whatever is hurting him in his mind, from the "aunt" part, she might be his caretaker or friend, we also see children a lot, with the horse bit and Jeremy, he or his family were hurt in some way, especially with the "Hubert" bit... Considering the war was nearly 20 years ago, he probably also had severe ptsd or other issues that clouded his mind, making him think his brother and friends that he made were alive. That he was ok. That all he was seeing is real. That he is Hubert, that he is who he said he is.

[@YEETUSDAFEETUS]

sad I imagine very very sad

[@benformation8123]

I have a small theory: I think when Salad Fingers is talking to Mr Branches, he's also rehashing prior experiences from his childhood. Hallucinating the face of a younger self, a child, I think Salad Fingers adapts the role of either his mother, or father, I'm more leaning to the idea that it's his mother, considering the next scene is of Salad Fingers giving birth. I researched after hearing the line that goes something like, "You've got a poorly, we'll have to get some vinegar and-" I don't know the line exactly, but vinegar is known to bring more bacteria to a wound. Considering in Episode 11, you see his mother actively poisoning him, I don't think it's far fetched to believe that this was him reliving a memory of his mother increasing the pain of an already lethal, possible inflicted wound, I believe that when Salad Fingers was talking to Mr Branches, it was actually a fractured memory of Salad himself, where he's acting as the mother figure. Something that supports this, is the line, "You'll have to grow out those branches if you want to get inside." And, "Those cacky spider-fingers aren't going anywhere, Andrew-Hands." I know this was said by the Glass Brother, but it demonstrates a similar form of abuse. This was just a theory I thought of, I could be wrong, it could be the mother, the father, the brother, but since the brother has been hinted to have died, I edge more to the idea of it being his mother. Note: in Episode 11, Salad says, "It's not fair, I've been in here too long, I'd like to come out now." Which links to the line towards Mr Branches. "It's not fair, i've been in here too long, I'd like to come out now." "You'll have to grow out those branches if you'd like to come inside."

[@wtichery]

Vinegar is anti bacterial but I like the stuff about the cartoon

Up Jack got And home did trot, As fast as he could caper; Went to bed To mend his head With *vinegar* and brown paper. Jill came in And she did grin To see his paper plaster; Mother, vex’d, Did whip her next For causing Jack's disaster!! It is just a medicine I'm sorry but the interpretation it was meant to cause disease is counterproductive, if anything it shows an amount of compassion and a time period but I am very passionate about the Vinegar. Vinegar is amazing

I love Salad Fingers. It hurts my brain trying to figure out how someone can tell such a deep story (whether matpat’s version or a different one) through such a bizarre looking show. As an artist myself, I could never have thought of something like this. The reason for how people can even think of these things is just impossible to come up with. The human mind is truly incredible.

[@artslife4424]

The creator came up with all of this from drug abuse

[@upseguest]

everybody feels like this ik

[@dork4270]

He has ptsd form it probably

[@nyxflix5486]

He probably has PTSD, causing him to go into a state of psychosis and develop DID. His way of coping was through finger puppets and theater, since multiple times he mentioned he was a singer. I personally think this series was his trip to recovery, earning him feeling accepted by his family for who he is. Aka; him recovering, and his family opening their arms to him due to his recovery. The hat, in my opinion, symbolizes a trophy of some sort due to his recovery. It has the face of (most likely) the person who helped him through his states of PTSD and Mental disorders, Milford. Whether he was a Doctor, Nurse, or even a best friend, he's the man who helped Salad cope and recover the most. That's my theory on the matter, it could be completely wrong but I like the idea.

[@integrallens6045]

I always partially wondered if the inspiration for salad fingers came from psychological cases that have been documented and then turned into a animated series. This analysis just makes me feel even stronger about this. Either someone's own psychological problems, or those documented of a patient that were just so mind boggling that they made for a great twisted cartoon. Just a thought, A FILM THOUGHT!!!

[@kurthillebrand634]

Now, I'm not much of a theorist, and I agree with like 95% of what he says in this theory, there's a tiny bit at the end that I don't agree with. I agree that salad fingers is a WW1 vet, who is suffering from some form of shell shock, or PTSD. It seems to me that the very last scene doesn't refer to his family. I think that it refers to other soldiers who were in WW1, maybe even soldiers that he fought alongside, which is why he refers to them as "the platoon." Maybe because they were actually in his platoon. And that's also why they're also identical to salad fingers. Every single one of the salad fingers is another veteran, each suffering from their own problems, whether its PTSD, a severe injury, or an amputation that sets them apart from everyone else. This is why salad fingers feels like he has a family with them, because he doesn't feel like he fits in with the rest of society, but he fits in with other wounded soldiers. Each one of the salad fingers is broken and damaged by the war. They're all broken, but they're all together. Idk, I'm not a very good theorist, but I thought it made sense. But hey, that's just a theory, a fan theory.

[@zacharygilmore1075]

This does make more sense than them being the family. Maybe you could partner up with Matpat, and then tell me where he lives. Especially that last part.

[@hootred3975]

[@douchebag235]

Yes this does make sense, but then the other evidence wouldn't make sense now

[@lordgremlin580]

YESS!! thats exaclty what it is. Also, the name salad fingers may had been his nick name during his time in war that his platoon named him. That guy is clearly suffering from PTSD or shell shocked which originated during WW1and his reliving all his dead friends lives. This happens to veteran soilders, just read the things they carried by Tim O' Brien

[@vincentrose8725]

Maybe. It's not wrong to disagree with a theory, even a small part. That being said, I wonder about this one. Why then did Salad Fingers say that his brother went off to the great war without him?

[@moonstone946]

I love the salad fingers series it really represents the broken human mind and just how powerful the mind itself. Its like a lens, either you see whats there clearly or its distorted and its not the same compared to whats actually there like its cracked, or should I say, Broken. Salad fingers has experienced so much pain and he reenacts it in a way maybe to cope with it or feel alive instead of internally dead because of memories.. This series is disturbing but truthful in a heavily metaphoric way and I love it and how it represents our phsycologic "lens". it really leaves a lot of mystery

THE WAY HE CONNECTS THE DOTS !!! HOW DOES HE PUT THIS ALL TOGETHER ITS SO GOOD

[@AaronTheReaper94]

I think the reference to the platoon at the end proves he was in the war. The members of his platoon were all injured or decaying in some way. He left his disapproving family to go to WW1, where, in the trenches, the color of his skin did not matter. All of his platoon mates died in the war leaving him alone, left by the one group he felt accepted by. After which he returns with PTSD broken from reality. The imagery of the disfigured salad fingers at the table is to represent his fellow soldiers, disfigured by the war, note one has a bullet hole, one is missing a chunk of his head like he had been hit with a mortar. Also all of the imagery around the eyes is similar to the imagery of monsters in gas masks (see mustard gas). He felt abandoned as a baby and child, when to war, and returned feeling just as abandoned by his dead platoon mates. edit: also his use of the air pump in his chest closely resembles an iron lung.

Sure enough. "Don't believe what that film theorist tells you" episode 11 coming. Which makes sense since the first 10 were spread over 10 or so years. No reason to not expect a gap.

BeardedButtCrack I watched it since it was released. I used to be a flash developer so I was always coming across funny and interesting uses. This is one of the best. I remember showing it to my 9 year old daughter and she loved it too so it spans ages. Everyone likes a little wierd.

IDK if you checked out his stuff already but of dog and man is pretty good, he also has some videos with commentary in the pharma industry

[@bishkit]

Looking back on it, I always found it really satisfying that the creator didn't actually have a story in mind. He just made it to make it, and honestly that's why salad fingers is good in my opinion. It didn't really need a story

[@YershJRSZ]

And salad. It's composed of a lot of different vegetables. There's another theory in the comments that the table of other Salad Fingers is actually other veterans, hence saying "the whole platoon" was there. And, if that's actually the case(alongside considering someone so mentally broken would be in a facility in reality), the "salad" could be the absent company of other soldiers whose mental faculties and grasp of reality has long left them. But also just a theory. A film theory.

This is my theory: Once upon a time, there was a black soldier named Jeremy that fell in love with a red-headed white female. When the girl's father found out about their relationship, he killed Jeremy and lied to his daughter that he ran away. But it was to late. His daughter was pregnant with Hubert (Salad Fingers) and Kennet. The girl died during the birth, but the children survived. Hubert and Kennet were raised by their mother's sister, that hatet them because of their skin cocor. Then the WW1 started. The brothers went to fight for their country. The other soldiers in their plutoon nicknamed Hubert Salad Fingers because of his long and slender fingers. In the war, his brother and his bestfriends died, maybe in front of him, maybe not. When the war finished, Hubert was all alone. His own family had died. And then, he fell in love with a girl that gave him a baby. The girl ran away and let Hubert, A veteran with PTSD, all alone to take care of the baby. He couldn't raise the child nor let him with his aunt because he was scared. What if she will raise the baby how she raised Hubert and Kennet? So Hubert killed the baby. And in the end, at the table, there were Kennet and their friends.The plutoon. All dead. Hubert was happy. His family is with him, eating together, maybe Hubert's own sanity, but he was happy. He could die happy. And in the end, I think that he died all alone and because of that he could be with his friend at that table. But hey! That's just a theory!
