I always thought of salad fingers as like one of those weird flash videos but as a YouTube series. Anybody remember albinoblacksheep.com? I'm sure there were others too, maybe ebaumsworld but I'm not sure if those were as weird
- traspler 3y agoYes, very much :) that‘s also where I first saw Salad Fingers and The End of the World is still on my mind today.

- kingkawn 3y agoSalad Fingers I'm pretty sure started as a Newgrounds.com series
- wkjagt 3y agoIsn’t that also where Burnt Face Man is from?
- willcipriano 3y agoSame guy. David Firth. I watched it on Newgrounds.
- OliveMate 3y agoMuch like Salad Fingers, Burnt Face Man was created by David Firth - https://www.youtube.com/@davidfirth https://www.youtube.com/@davidfirth I don't remember where he originally uploaded each series, but his Jerry Jackson series (a personal favourite) were first uploaded to Newgrounds as a series of troll animations.
- Legogris 3y agoHe primarily uploads publishes all his material, alongside with Jerry Jackson et al, to his own website[0]. I remember subscribing to it over RSS as a kid and his stuff would always drop there first. Might be some gems to discover if you haven't browsed it before (: Newgrounds, ebaumsworld etc were all reuploads [1]. [0]: https://www.fat-pie.com/ https://www.fat-pie.com/ [1]: At least ebaumsworld was notorious for the bad kinds of piracy. albinoblacksheep, newgrounds, and somethingawful, were the major hubs outside of other individual creator sites like weebls and lemondemon otherwise IIRC. Firth did publish himself on NG, and later on YouTube. But I think he only appeared as himself on YouTube like a decade or so after Salad Fingers first went viral. https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/276616 https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/276616 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBaum%27s_World#Copyright_infringement_and_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBaum%27s_World#Copyright_infr...
- nickf 3y agoYou are correct - I say this as the website ‘landlord’ (scroll right to the very bottom!) The fun part was hosting this myself 20-something years ago and seeing traffic spike like mad. Rented cheap servers from Kimsufi or Ikoula and tuning apache as best I could without a real clue what I was doing…
- ikari_pl 3y agoit WAS a flash series for sure. YouTube was just for the crowds :p
- at_a_remove 3y agoRight, I think Flash was first. Before they hooked up with Quiznos, remember those rodents who "love da moon"? Or someone would take a mashup of Ol' Dirty Bastard ("Shimmy Shimmy Ya") and The Cure ("Close to Me"), then make a clunky video of the instruments (xylophone, but also humanoid skulls) played by various animals and sung by a tiger in that Monty Python-like jaw animation.
- bitwize 3y agoI think those were both rathergood productions. The Quiznos rodents were called spongmonkeys. Rathergood provided me with many memories -- American Girls, the cats playing Independent Woman, kittens stomp marching to Tanz mit Laibach, etc.
- barcode_feeder 3y agoI'm glad someone else mentioned rathergood! That's the one that sticks out in my memory as older weird internet
