B/W Cartoon about Berries

[skatinghobart]

"NO!"

"...lovely."

genius!

[EMlLYlove]

Marry me David

[stevensonbak]

Jonathan's such a fucking cocksucker.

[AblonPahdellaJaherst]

your creativity takes me to places i would pay to visit. never lose those wonderful ideas in your mind or ill come threw your computer box, slice off your face, and treat myself to some david jerky as if your mustache hair would put those ideas into practice at home. + tell me how to get more salad merchandise without a credit card cause that shyyt is like crack to me.  ps. once you die i WILL dig you up and devourer the rest of your brain. good luck with all your endeavors...

[HuntForWaffles]

your a fucking cocksucker jonathan

[mossandthesea]

The break in the mind is a wonderful thing...at least in a story form. Living vicariously through an animated character.

[hippylula]

You have a point however, no matter the fact that parts bear resemblance to symptoms you have perceived, this cartoon is not a deliberate replica of a psychotic episode. So things like this should not be said (especially by someone who has no clue as to what they are speaking about):

Very good portrait of paranoid psychosis. Difficulty in determining if what is seen is correct, a undertone that suggest some kind of logic or pattern but still not graspable.

[leathalEly]

the dog died 10 years ago you stupid piss, YOUR JUST A STUPID PISS

[TheCOLETRAIN97]

Who eles heard the screaming In the back ground?

[hazaraku]

Have you ever considered doing a feature length (drawn) horror movie?

[Preplatinqt]

this is brilliant.please continue......

[GhastlyMange]

Seems like @the end hes thinking "what is real?"

[TheRealMrKillspree]

@Doki66 Please continue these videos. I find this series the most psychological, I might even show my Psychology teacher and see her take on it. As always there is some backstory to each story you create, is there any chance you would explain both this and Salad Fingers? I never know if Salad Fingers is after a nuclear war/winter etc. These videos are easy to understand, but when looking at depth they become quite difficult and interlectually confusing.

Thanks David, these videos amaze me

[TheWillyBe]

You're a wizard Jonathan.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

Emotional and obnoxious teenagers are attracted to this video.

[sw3ettouch]

Your just a stupid piss!

[Bartholomule01]

I LOVE that Salad Fingers went so viral. Had it not been for that I would have never come across the many great works of David Firth.

[kyuri16]

theres a scary face above the lady 0:25

[hippylula]

Will everyone who thinks this is what it's like in the mind of someone who has psychosis shut the fuck up! You have no IDEA what it's like. This cartoon is fictitious and psychosis is real! What happens to people when suffering with psychosis is a lot more than just drawings posted on a website!

[cornedbeefie]

@hippylula everyone's different. personally i think the feeling this cartoon emanates isn't too far from a psychotic episode. I was diagnosed with psychosis a few years back and had an episode that wasn't a million miles away from this video. Same underlying feeling of paranoia, rage and violence blanketed in fear. It was a terrifying ordeal. the part with the mirror at 3:46 especially freaked me out, because it reminded me of my own experience. But everyone is different.

[Azuzur]

Actually a very good portrait of paranoid psychosis. Difficulty in determining if what one seen is correct, a undertone that suggest some kind of logic or pattern but still not graspable. And ofcourse the paranoia that goes like a red line trough the whole video. Not nececerally schizophrenia like some have commented, but ofcourse it is possible aswell.

[imortalones]

my thoughts exactly

[Israfel85]

Is there any meaning in these quite surreal movies? Please do tell me if there is.

[iHATEjoeDELUCA]

anyone notice the guy in the background at 3:40?

[NecroTechnically]

I absolutely love a look into the minds of the insane, simply the most fascinating worlds.

[mooA7Xbaaaa]

@NecroTechnically i'll let you take a glimpse into my mind for a dollar.

[codegeassvsdeath]

i really like the end where he's just stares out in the storm.... looks like something i would do

[Squidmation]

this is beuatiful

[Persistency]

I wish it made sense, but it doesn't, so it sucks.

[DropkickIrish]

This sucks. He is trying waaay to hard to be weird and creepy by spouting off random nonsensical lines, that it just comes off lame.

[Reggy078]

@DropkickIrish you clearly don't understand the video

[DropkickIrish]

@Reggy078 Clearly. Why don't you enlighten me, and the rest of us, Mr. Avant Garde. But you'll either not reply back, or give me some cliché response like, "If you don't get it, you never will." or "That's for you to figure out." Here is your moment of redemption, a chance to shut me down and validate your insightful claims of finding salient meaning in this half-hearted attempt at art. Talk to you soon Reggy.

[Reggy078]

@DropkickIrish It goes deep inside the mind of a person with schizophrenia. In my opinion, the viewer's left to question whether or not what he sees is real, or if it's his imagination.

[DropkickIrish]

@Reggy078 Alright, I can see that. I suppose I just needed some context to understand what was going on here.

[Reggy078]

@DropkickIrish yeah...firth really makes you think sometimes.

i'm really not sure as to what 'spoilsbury toast boy' is about

[mrliampep5i]

what the hell

[Megaritz]

2:08 looks just like the bird from Salad Fingers: Picnic. The shading's darker, but the shape is identical.

[Sandrameesha]

there's this video by earla weese kind of like this called society's bitch

it's really creepy

[epicphailbro]

I demand an explanation........NOW?

[m3gadork]

weird, this is literally 100% Identical to a dream I had once.

[g00ner4life93]

@Doki66 Again i lost the music. Whats the music at the begginging of the clip? Its so dark and depressing... I'll even buy it if its on itunes?

[Doki66]

@g00ner4life93 The music was donated by a friend called Chris Gladwin. As far as I know he never commercially released it.

[g00ner4life93]

@Doki66 Thanks for the reply. I typed in the artist and fat pie in google and actually found a website with his music :).

[fable2omg]

@Doki66 I wonder what instruments he uses.. I love those sounds

[mikeee382]

@Doki66 and now you tell us, i've searched countless ages through Gladwin's music searching for this piece... though it wasn't really a waste of time you know

[xXGAMEL0VEXx]

@Doki66 if it possible he could release it as a torrent? i would happily seed it too if you like?

[xDyNaZtY]

MAKE MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEE 

[GeorgiaEvie97]

MIND FUCK!

[DukeSecom]

david, you are a genious. the people that say, 'this is just stupid' obviously are very dull minded. your animations are the most creative i've seen. i feel as if i can connect to your creations, like this, spoilsbury toast boy, salad fingers etc. strangely, they help keep my comfort.

[mossandthesea]

@DukeSecom Agreed!!

[LukeCowanMusic]

I love the music.

[hairy0pothead]

Bastard Man in the mirror.

[VeroniqueVex911]

Sure as buttons

[wolfshields]

anyone know what's music used in the beginning of the video ?

[MattyCody]

@wolfshields I really need to know to. It's beautiful and I don't know why anyone doesn't want to know it.

[mikeee382]

@wolfshields i -think- its just a small composition he did just for the cartoon, it is quite similar to both untitled track 21 "lichen" from saw vol. II by aphex twin and conversionay from scribble beats by locust toybox (himself)... thats the closest i could get when i was looking for it about a year ago...

[brickdude23]

Jonathan reminds me of me, should I see a mental doctor?

[WiskeyDickBomber]

@brickdude23 I'm also concerned I see similarity in Johnathan and myself

[Creep135]

You never cease to amaze me David. Your my favorite animator and I love your videos, every twisted minute of them. This and the roof Tiling one still stand out to me for some reason or another.

[JellusJellow]

my brain has broken.

[AdaliaDee]

for some reason, this and A B&W Cartoon About Roof Tiling are oddly comforting to me

[PhuckedAnimations]

at the very begining theres a man observing..look at the wall on the left.. if you can see him

[PhuckedAnimations]

/watch?v=B08q2Rx-woo&feature=c­hannel_video_title my flash cartoon

[PLURIC]

I watch this while studying for a psychology test. I win? xD

[TheLesslee]

opps My mistake ultraform*

[TheLesslee]

There's a song made out of this video. and it's not ultrasound - Jonathan. It sounds similar to that, but I can't find it and i'm really starting to get annoyed.

[SomewhatDisturbed95]

"You're a fucking cocksucker Jonathon" How pleasant.

[K12machinima]

I feel kind of sad when I watch David's animations; this one in particular really does strike a chord with me on what depression feels like. :I

[Hakudohshi]

@K12machinima Not really depression.. this is more like the manifestations of schizophrenia.

If you're hallucinating about murdering people and burying them in the garden I think you might have a bit more to worry about than depression. But if you're referring too the general bleakness of the world presented, I can agree with that interpretation.

[K12machinima]

@Hakudohshi ...Yeah,it's true...but they'll never find that foot in MY garden.

[swedenxtrem]

So... is this one of them cartoons inspired by your dreams or how do you come up with these? Quite creative stuff there :p

[lullabylinds]

What some people find twisted, others find to be quite normal

[tharailwaydra]

for smome reason, jonathan reminds me of the demon barber of fleet st.....

[TcC2317]

In the reflection it's bastard man

[Emeexuqu]

Dear David

I would really like to go further back in this story

of all the stories/animations that you have made, i have found this one to be the most interesting one as of now

this was a prequel to "roof tiling" so what if you were to just keep going back in the story so we can learn more?

[SporadicTroll]

@Emeexuqu Make this comment a highrated by thumbing it up! I want more of this wicked shit!

And more of health lessons! :3

[DeeGirl1212]

@Emeexuqu Jesus Christ. PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA. THAT'S IT.

[Doki66]

@Emeexuqu It's not a case of backwards or forwards. There isn't a concrete chronology here, it's just I had him die in the first episode so I called this a prequel. Any potential new episodes wouldn't necessarily be before this in the timeline.

[hippylula]

@Doki66

You are so articulate and artistic yet brokenly disturbed. You sir are the epitome of a paradox.

[TcC2317]

I think I've figured it out johnathan is a serial/cereal killer and he didn't want her to go into his "special patch" because he has buried corpses under it

[Bonswabu]

@TcC2317 cereal killer LOL

[cmoneycashmoney100]

this guys dreams r fucked up

[TcC2317]

Or at 0:26

[TcC2317]

There's a skull on the wall at 0:34

[onelove2702]

64 people dont like berries, and are stupid for not liking david firth -_-

[VedekaStreetArt]

@FrostBittenTongue read the description fucking cocksucker

[sonicroxandGL]

The dog died ten years ago, you stupid piss!

Made me lol.

[fruitbats52]

the lines are worded beautifully

[ambienteuphoria]

@Kesher293 Panic by Chris Gladwin....though you wont find it anywhere. I have tried for ages!

[fatgirl344]

This is a classic, i love your work

[FrostbittenTongue]

I love how she just drops the foot on the floor...

[FrostbittenTongue]

Is that lady his mother?!

[comedrac]

I like this animation, I relate to it on a certain level... A level i'm not sure I'm truly aware of, not quite yet....

[babychula76]

these videos are creepy they show how twisted the human mind can be

[Kiwi2038]

This is a deep pschological video, a drama, a horror, and a comedy. Another great piece of work! Keep them coming!

[WaddingtonJr]

Your a fucking cocksucker johnathon

[chevygirl2656]

Shut your pissing mouth! :D

[blackwaters011]

Would you like pulderberry crumble

NO

lovely...

[KolluTheWolf]

@owmyears Dont forget a touch of tourettes....

[donaldds25]

this is really hard to masturbate to :(

[Dream2Freerun]

has anyone noticed the creepy man staring from the background at 0:25 , 0:34 , 3:39 ?

[DonBugatti]

This made me emo!

[KotaBean18]

eating the berries make me want to brutally slaughter those of who i love

[blazinbongfire]

@MrDannyGillz no

[ZehFiend]

This is actually very sad, Johnathan is mentally disabled yet takes care of his mentally disabled mother. Hence her thinking she saw the dog that has been dead for 10 years, my mother takes care of her mother. She often talks to us about "current" events that happened in the 90's.

[meki12345678]

@ZehFiend yea i work in care home, lots of the ppl there have dementia often ask for the parent and other family member that have been dead for years, or ask about raids or when they get off duty.

[ZehFiend]

@meki12345678 Just today my grandma called our dog Major, major was her childhood dog 80 years ago.

[Iamthewalrus17]

Aren't there kids that sing in the other video?

[K12machinima]

@owmyears or he could have just made a cartoon because he can...

[lurviQ]

head on the wall 0:25

[GalranZhadar]

There's a head on the wall at 3:39 - 3:45. Il like to look these cartoons often so i can find the secret heads, that are hiding in different places. This makes me feel happy.

[tayba120]

@GalranZhadar theres also a penis

[mysystemcollapsed]

''Would you like some pulderberry crumble? NO! Lovely."

just brilliant!!

[shebob63]

sorry,i wasnt paying attention.

[Lachie12mx]

i was wanking the whole time

[apocalypse123]

The first one was more crazy and didn't make much sense. The prequel took a far more somber and relatable note. Instead of Jonathan just killing people without reason we see that he doesn't have much control and feel more empathetic with him. In a way he reminds me of myself. In that he hates himself, and can't let go of the past. Very tragic.

[TheFlamingChips]

Love this series!

[massman7586]

hmm..dont see the problem here. hes doing ok :}

[DanSids1988]

Sure as buttons, chief. Sure as buttons. Phrases like that make me proud to be British.

[FilthyShroom]

Showcasing my mind here.

[DanMCrisisX]

I think the guy in the mirror was his dad.

[MuseFromGallifrey]

This is DEEP

[BubbleBobble1996]

LOL Stupid piss! That was the funniest bit in such a creepy clip

[WHSVideos]

lolol shut up you stupid piss!

[BecauseAlexWasBored]

This is so sad. He can't forget about his past (i.e. his abusive father, his schizophrenia, the murders he's commited because of it) and if he tried to reach out to someone (i.e. his mother, maybe) he'd probably end up arrested or something for the murders or even put in an insane asylum, and people would be even more scared of him. He thinks there's no other way out but to kill himself. In a way, that's true :(

[Joker2One]

It's such a shame that some people in this comment section don't realise how sad and deep this cartoon really is. Such ignorant minds..

[deepsunflower]

at 3:26 to 3;58 ithere someone creaming but i cant tell what he/she is saying does any body no ???

[DrFridgeFondler]

3:50

It's Bastard Man, being a bastard.

[Kitteyykat]

My friends think I'm a sick person cuz I watch these all the time... but they mess with my emotions and Im like addicted o-o

[BadButNotSad]

This is so fucking psychedelic... in a black-white way...

WHOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[IEAT13ABIES]

Stupid piss. LMAO.

[purpletiger151]

in the very first scene does anyone else see a fricken woman drawn in the wall thru the door frame???

[iggyman91]

this is so fucking amazing, this is how i think on a daily bases, i thought no one else thought like this. I wish i could do film like you. Everyday I always think of stupid bull shit like this. My dreams are also fucked up like this cartoon you've made, they've gotten to the point were they make no sense and sometimes I don't even wanna dream anymore...

[HarleyQuinnFan123]

Idk why, But when i see your videos i get really depressed.

[theInconvience]

@MrDannyGillz Nope, David Firth's work constantly brings out emotions in me that I almost never have.

[BecauseAlexWasBored]

"Would you like some pulderberry crumble?"

"NO!"

"Lovely."

XD

[SuperBakuganfan]

Do i hear a man screaming in the backround?

[Motorskallen]

At 3:38, there's a man observing. Creepy ...

[drag0nfis7]

@Motorskallen "There was always a man observing" - Sock 3

[crypticBhann]

@Motorskallen holy shit i didn't even see that!

[Macskafogo]

@Motorskallen You're right!!

[gargoylejockey]

@Motorskallen there was always a man observing...

[Motorskallen]

@gargoylejockey You know, what's funny is, after watching this one, I've discovered more and more faces and figures in other of DF's films. And not always on the most obvious places. I am not mentally ill or anything (even though I have a theory about my parents being siblings; that would explain my brother). But it has allmost become like a thing to me to start looking for faces and figures on weird places in these films.

[xsarasmith]

Wow... deep.

[TheeSuccessfulTroll]

@MrDannyGillz Sure as buttons cheif, sure as buttons

[kieranisaacs]

...the fuck? I don't even?

[TehAgentMartino]

WAT

[Turbulence654321]

That's his mother? I always thought they were a couple....odd

[roffleburgers]

The dog died 10 years ago you stupid piss... You're just a stupid PISS

[variable2102]

Am I the only one who sees the face at 0:20?

[xDidonax]

@variable2102 Yes^^

[variable2102]

@xDidonax

Lovely.

[xDidonax]

@variable2102 haha I'm sorry :D

[variable2102]

@xDidonax

Don't be. :) After all, I'm the one who's crazy.

[xDidonax]

@variable2102 that's why I'm sorry :P :D

[ScreamMcGee]

3:40 a creepy guys face in the background

[ItsOnliNaomi]

Sick. It's amazing.

[iggyman91]

my mind backwards for the over.

[RavenMaster1313]

what just happened...?

[WoahWtflLol]

lol at exactly 2:40 (really hard to pause in time) but it flashes the titles but its backwards and upside down. He has so many subliminal messages.

[WoahWtflLol]

You guys know this is made from ALL pencil drawings? Must have taken forever.

[fullm3tal90]

i though he killed her WTF

[seanfenrir]

@fullm3tal90 He had a stong desire to kill her which manifested into a short lapse of reality for him. He literaly saw himself kill her even though it was imaginary. Its sorta like when someone pisses you off big time and you can see yourself pushing them down a flight of stairs (although I pray you or anyone would do such a thing).

[seanfenrir]

@fullm3tal90 I meant to say "would not".

[fullm3tal90]

@seanfenrir ohh i see lol tnx man

[thebiggestshaft]

YOUR JUST A STUPID PISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PrezLeefun]

Jonathan has schizophrenia . Terribly sad.

[MrMaggotWolf]

@PrezLeefun

A very good representation of it too.

All these things happen only to have you wake up and realize none of it ever happened.

[PrezLeefun]

@MrMaggotWolf Quite true.

[d34d23]

this gives me chills

[hotmale7253]

I can hear the stench of a sneeky Effervescing Elephant.

[Flumblee]

@MrDannyGillz

It is very sad, but one doesn't like to empathise with a fucking cocksucker.

[xXFaLlEn0KiLlAXx]

Yoghurt pots? ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME ILL!

[EverythingBen1]

Is it me.. or does Jonathon have anger issues? ;)

[PJayOkay]

That bath is massive!
