My middle son scares me sometimes. For example, he recently introduced me to his favorite interweb video, Salad Fingers, which is an episodic cartoon produced by David Firth. It's dark, disturbing, and not for everyone.I experienced uneasy pride as I thoroughly enjoyed episode 4. He wanted me to watch this one first, because he thought it would speak to me. He was right. I found it to be creepy yet hilarious. The main character is a green, three-fingered being with bad teeth. He enjoys role playing, rusty metal and blood. Why, it practically writes itself!
Mr Firth is a genius. And for that, I'll gladly purchase some of his apparel.
Hmm...what about this episode spoke to you? It was creepy, for sure, but the hilarity escaped me. I mean...he licks taps and rubs metal bars. I would have eaten this up as a angst-ridden pre-teen, but at this point in my life, it just seemed like the writer was going out of his way to be creepy, and not much more.
ReplyDeleteI could clearly be missing something, though. I await enlightenment.
Enjoy your wait.
ReplyDeletePart of what makes it funny to me is that so few people will think it's funny.
I remember you had a similar reaction to the movie Best In Show.
