[stevensonbak]

His wife is hot as fuck

[mossandthesea]

This is really very English.

[nanochase]

I understand what i must do now....

Never buy a timeshare!

[Logology101]

@nanochase

[gumtreewallow]

I know a schizophrenic person and this is how she describes her life...

[TheCOLETRAIN97]

Did he shoot himself?

[shazerian]

this is very deep and i understand it alil too well

[supaleetkillah]

Depression - It fucking kills.

[TheFryingpanofdoom]

SHUT UP I FUCKING GAVE YOU ONE!

[TheFryingpanofdoom]

I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE POLITICIANS!

[disabledcat]

love how shes just ironing the ironing board ha!

[africanmobster]

you brain-dead monkey spunk junkie

[dethmetalism]

Your a fucking cock sucker Johnathan

[wesupportmokeyfaces]

what does mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sw3ettouch]

This is where the magic happends...

[sjfan1]

Along with "Berries," this gives me a moment to also enjoy David Firth as a musician. "Hyper Darts" is one hell of a good song.

[xHelloKittyxRawr]

@seanfenrir No, I think that's himself. like, jow he's scizophrenic, I think hes only imagining it.

[K4inan]

David, you want the viewers to have their own opinion of what your animations are about?

[matthewgroen]

2:29 , try to pause at the lightning!

[Fizzmobile]

@matthewgroen It looks like Alan the alternative superhero from one of his other creations,maybe hes linked them up!I feel my spine shiver.He has seen....He was too late...

[DobsBomber]

My eyes are tearing the second time through.

[cisumpopllik]

is it wrong that i find this hilarious?

[faerywitchful1]

woah o.O

[TheEllieclayton1]

i wish you had cancer ??!!!! to far !!!!!

[Reggy078]

this has to be one of your greatest works, along with the 'berries' video

[Noooooo0ooOooooo]

Paranoid schizophrenia is serious shit yo

[gailNKKbananafan]

I love this..

[mooA7Xbaaaa]

This is my favorite video in the world. its a fact that its hilarious.

[seanfenrir]

Wait just a minute... is the mail man he had tied up in the first part!?

[picaticatara]

he is schitzo cuz he wishes he had cancer and wants to be watched rotting so he kills himself wow so interesting

[Squidmation]

the "scary man scary man scary man" freaks me the hell out. thanks. i hate inner buildups of hell.

[Pr0nzehEDITS]

Love the music!

[Squidmation]

head coming out of chimeny

[KatanaNOOBY]

I love how Davids stuff is so random and freaky people always assume there's some hidden message, I mean yeah there probably is but still :L

[DeeGirl1212]

@KatanaNOOBY It's not random. The man in the cartoon obviously has Paranoid Schizophrenia.

[KatanaNOOBY]

@DeeGirl1212 Which is random :L

[DrOakdweller]

@KatanaNOOBY Not at all. "Random" material would be a cartoon which plucks any unconnected ideas and assemles them without thought, reason, imagination or even intent. A condition such as schizophrenia can appear "random" to the outsider, but has a definite pattern to those who take the time to sit back and empathise.

[Noooooo0ooOooooo]

@KatanaNOOBY I love how depressing they are.

[FuzzyThoughts]

"You're always fooking staring at meh, with that glass-fookin eye!! *Gibberish*" That parts always makes me laugh XD

[epicphailbro]

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

[RickSayo2]

@epicphailbro this is about a man who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia.... look it up if u dont know what it is 

[manversusreality]

1:38

[XxYAPPAXx]

look really quickly at 2:30

[JDeMuse]

@XxYAPPAXx for what?

[XxYAPPAXx]

@JDeMuse hes dad

[erotickatana]

the little piano bit at 2:01

is that merzbow?

[Kookenoo]

the little breakcore-ish part at 2:40

is that datach'i?

[YuleahKay]

This is the most realistic interpretation of how you feel when you have clinical depression. I know it's about his schizophrenia, but the sounds, the hopelessness, that slow, droning pace, it's all very much like depression.

[j3s0n]

@YuleahKay That's exactly what I was thinking.

[gurreu]

This is the most genuine thing i have ever watched. Dead serious.

[ChiefNiggaLip]

Wow thank you David Firth, I guess this explains how a schizophrenic's mind works. I feel sad. Everyday having to lie to yourself because your brain lies to you. It is hell.

[mrsjuicyjuice09]

Does anyone know the song at 2:02?????

[punkymunky23]

I love the quick-cut of the face at 1:53. That guy showing up in the mirror is my favorite part of this story ('Roof Tiling' and 'Berries').

[FeralSheWolf]

This isn't about roof tiling at all!

[GuaranteedSanctuary]

'Mr Smokey man' I laughed so hard at that!

[Heytrigger]

This reminds me soo much of David Lynch's work

[TroyCottonJr]

Whats with this disturbing ass shit I can't get enough of but I hate at the same time. Fat Pie Made me Skitzo.

[DukeSecom]

great reality show

[wafflepwn]

I love your videos.



[ItalianDani90]

my god the first time that I saw this i was high and it was...I cant even describe it

[Kafana91]

What's the music from 2:00 to 2:16 ?

[FlooperMap]

"This is where the magic happens"

[1337RecklessX]

1:01 SALAD FINGERS? IS THAT YOU?! HAAHAHAHAHAHAH YOUR VIDEOS MADE ME REALLY SICK NOW AND IM GOING TO THERAPY TOMORROW

[0verob5cene]

you sir, are a genius

[bud389]

I guess the complexities of fixing roof tiles was a...

*puts on sunglasses*

Mind-blowing experiance

YYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAA

[JavonIsUnique]

AHHAAHAHAH 1:08-1:10 Fuckin Hilarious (if Your high)

[crypticBhann]

man one of the coolest aspects of firth vids is the music!!!

[CocoButter341]

I sat on my roof one day and when my friend asked what I was doing up there I said " This is where the magic happens"

[scissorsandink]

I know he got struck by lightening..but out of love for this, will there be another?

[godverdegodverdomme]

@scissorsandink He shot himself. It wasn't a lightning strike.

[scissorsandink]

@godverdegodverdomme That's more grim and fits to the cartoon more, thanks for clearing up my mistake.

[godverdegodverdomme]

@scissorsandink You're welcome.

[degolego13]

Maybe this question have repeated, but can anyone tell me what is the piano song from 1:59?

[theartofbeing626]

Suicide is amazing -3

[Sandsibscrazy]

@theartofbeing626 What do you mean by that?

[xXCaptainMaggotXx]

i actually think this is beautiful...

[Fabiovaliante2]

is that shit to be understood?

[godverdegodverdomme]

@Fabiovaliante2 Yes, by capable people.

[Fabiovaliante2]

@godverdegodverdomme Capable people = those with some degree of insanity...like you

[godverdegodverdomme]

@Fabiovaliante2 Not exactly.. More like those with the capacity to develop insight in fields that do not

represent a part of their own being per se, (does a surgeon for example need to be wounded to perform

surgery?) or perhaps those being able and willing to produce arguments/counter arguments not unlike this one, although they really should not be necessary to begin with (yet, sadly they are).

But I'll be a good sport and say; Are not all humans insane to a certain degree?

[pappap99]

The Like/Dislike bar looks just like the joint I just smoked :)

[xXTrIpLe11Xx]

This happen to me before but i didn't go on the roof or kill my self. Yet.

[mrsjuicyjuice09]

whats the song called in 2:03???????????

[mrpinksprinkleddonut]

the same crazy mindfucking things agian

[TheSecondManofJazz]

DUMBASSES.... Hes schizophrenic, so stop asking retard questions about the video.

[gargoylejockey]

@TheSecondManofJazz u mad?

[TheSecondManofJazz]

@gargoylejockey No, not to much.. just disappointed in most people's thought processes.

[fruitbats52]

just realized he reminds of pooh bear. like a depressed, schizophrenic pooh bear lol

[Morgotheenslaver]

That's my childhood at school rolled up into a cartoon.

[Dreadmantisthe2nd]

This is great, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't disturb me. Simply the noise alone at 0:08 sent chills down my spine...

[Spitfire608]

someone message me why he killed him self, why did he?



[mahligros2]

@Spitfire608 I think the whole of the theme of the video is the man is depressed or something and can only find joy and comfort by "fixing" his roof.

[AntifaSwedenx]

He killed himslef, coz he was Schizophrenic... and those loons like to do those things.

Seeing always demons, seeing that people CONSPIRE AGAINST U... man, this is not nice

Insectoids, Blind People, which cant see the Alien Infiltration, Global Depopulation

The Solution? Suicide (or mass murder, and AFTER that.... Su-iii-cyde)

0,.,O

[godverdegodverdomme]

@Spitfire608 Because Johnatan has lived as a victim in a hell he could not escape from; his own sick and twisted brain. After experiencing such horrors all your life, there comes a point where it is enough and you simply cannot take it anymore. This is where he chose death over life, since he had nothing to call a life

to begin with and he put up with it as long as he could "humanely" bear.

Imagine being kicked in the nuts eternally, this is comparable to that situation.

You'd suicide too.

[whowantsabighug]

I always feel really grubby after watching your videos.

[FrostbittenTongue]

i.... i love you.

[Sandsibscrazy]

I tell you David Firth, you have been my inspiration ever since I first watched Salad Fingers. Your work is fresh and beautiful. I love how you never sugar coat mental illness and other horrors in life. And even after my 10th view of this video you still have captivated me. Thank You for sharing these videos with the YouTube community. Its greatly appreciated. :)

[pivotDAM]

2:40 wat tha hell

[SteelRocker]

does anyone know where to find animations like firths? i haven't found any that compare.

[ediblecheddar]

@SteelRocker i dont know any really which replicate firth's work closely but general other trippy/weird stuff comes from kolbelov, cyriak, secretagentbob and ofcourse david lynch

[godverdegodverdomme]

@SteelRocker Hmm, it is very hard to come by material that identifies with Firth's work;

but I might have something that falls into that catagory. It is claymation, and you may not

have seen it before.

watch?v=cqi5F5MqqTQ

It's called "The Mysterious Stranger"

[Semibrucelee]

I felt like death after watching this. Was it intented?

[WaddingtonJr]

Pleasy pleasy please please

[piccard1976]

how is the view tonight ....

[Necromanticman]

What was the track by Datach'i called when she asked how the view is? thanks.

[xXx11blackrose11xXx]

This is the weirdest thing ive ever seen

[TierOneFilms]

Please reply to this comment, What programme do you use to animate, you've inspired me?

[SteelRocker]

@TierOneFilms says he used paper drawings for this one. in the description

[JarethGT]

This is like being in the mind of a schizophrenic.

[SScupi]

I'm like that guy

[DANIELH23]

Your videos are depressing. I love them.

[Observedwalnut75]

Sir, your just a genius.

[MattCattVideos]

The 49 people who disliked this have broken roofs

[PandazPow]

I wish you had cancer, I'll watch you rot!

[piccard1976]

This is where the magic happens ....

[iidaisydavis]

poor poor disturbed man :"(

[purpletiger151]

i love the music at :50

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@purpletiger151 HYPER DARTS CHALLENGE

[buktomsin]

Beautifully illustrated a perplexing puzzle :D

[MitchieMachete]

I loved this so much. <3 :I

[sirMAXX77]

damn selfish bastard, now who's gonna fix the tiles?

[anonymouspersonifica]

Was anyone hoping for Salad Finger's to come out? The background made it seem like he would...

[TheUnseenTangerine]

I honestly think it had nothing to do with all the bad stuff, He was planning on doing all of it but he got shocked by lightning and fell.

[michelle5226]

My fav

[BrickNazi]

@cradleofdeath123 I doubt it. I've had some of the most fucked up dreams, dreams that have traumatized me horribly. I have never done any drugs unless you count ibuprofen and caffeine.

[ColonelBatman]

"How's the view tonight?"

...fucked up.

[Iamthewalrus17]

That soft guitar is what really ties it all together...

Its no matter if he was paranoid or psychotic or what have you, when that guitar kicks in you will understand how he felt.

Perfection!

[CrackHeadForLife420]

Crazy. I've been watching David Firth for. . .At least five years, maybe more like eight. The videos have been discussed throughly and and exhaustively nonstop on youtube etc, and there are usually some great interpretations on each of his videos. But there's still a constant stream of new and top rated comments openly just saying "this is so fucked up hurr durr". . . .Was there some negative progress recently?

Whatever, new people are watching I guess, which is very good thing. Comment full.

[Pixiliciousprincess]

MEHHHHH! This is the most fucked up thing i ever watched... but i like it!

[KatanaNOOBY]

can anyone tell me what the musiic at 0:50 is called?

[Doki66]

@KatanaNOOBY The soft guitar music is Locust Toybox - "Hyper darts Challenge" from the album "Mangled Tape Memories" which can be downloaded for free on locusttoybox.co.uk

[pye333]

@Doki66 I noticed that aswell but is the one you used an edited version..? This one is not just the soft guitar!

[ZseYazX]

@KatanaNOOBY David Firth(the writer/creator) writes his own music, he made it for this.

[MrVesanique]

This is beautiful in a way I cannot explain. I do not understand the story. If there's a moral to it, I don't get it either. I just find this beautiful. I'm a fucking moron.

[ArcanePath360]

@MrVesanique You're not a Moron for finding this beautiful. It it art. Art doesn't have to have any perfunctory rules. It doesn't need a story, it's just something that invokes an emotion. You actually do get it.

[Painmore]

He's mad because he's balding? I love the animation style!

[kyle032196]

this is fucked :P ima go kill a baby now (;

[Joalda1]

@Kesher293 fat-pie(.)com/songs(.)htm You can probably find it there

[MadMarco888]

borderline personality disorder and paranoid schizophrenia

[cradleofdeath123]

i wanna do weed with firth

[murphy341]

@cradleofdeath123 Hell yeah. I watch his videos after smoking sometimes and have to say it feels like diving into his mind completely.

[CrackHeadForLife420]

@cradleofdeath123 lol @ "do" weed.

Anyways ummmmmm... Firth probably knows how to have a good time but I highly doubt that drugs or alcohol are the contributors to his creative mind, if that's what you were implying.

[cradleofdeath123]

@CrackHeadForLife420 ooh it is.... drugs can make u come up with crazy crap... y do u thnk musicians do dat??? gives them ideas.....

[CrackHeadForLife420]

@cradleofdeath123 You missed the point completely. I never said drugs don't stimulate creativity in some cases; i'm saying that DF's work, specifically, is most likely natural. He comes up with his ideas through his dreams and through letting his mind run wild, not from an outside stimulant.

[cradleofdeath123]

@CrackHeadForLife420 dreams and stff caused by drugs.... v could go on for ever..... thing is wd never know

[cradleofdeath123]

beautiful.... not funny... most beautiful serious thing ever......

[CrackHeadForLife420]

@cradleofdeath123 I don't know if I would go so far as to say it's the "most beautiful serious thing ever", but it's definitely more beautiful than some serious things so I guess you aren't all wrong. :P

[MezzyAndJezzy]

LMMAAAO <3

[CrysisNerd]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!­!!

[kefer123622]

Such a happy ending :D

[Laszczka]

THE MUSIC, THE MUSIC IN ALL THE VIDEOS. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[ryansg1000]

So did he fix the roof?

[yoyohayli]

I'm not going to try to decipher any of these videos and ruin their mysterious magic. I'm just going to sit back, relax, and enjoy the nightmares they bring me. :)

[neoelfeo]

We need a Part III

[phonixMAM]

I swear, if i keep watching your videos i'll go insane

[GrenzetheMaster]

Jeez I love all the comments on here calling people who might not get the same message as others stupid. As any other style of art and yes this qualifies, you interpret it how you wish.

[Cloud8272]

i think what this means is that every time he went to work on the roof he was trying to get motivation to kill himself because of his past. but every time he couldn't do it......until the end.

[BubbleBobble1996]

Wow... That was weird...

[MasuleDreahelif]

I think the man is a paranoid schizsophrenic who keeps having visions of commiting unlawful acts. In the end he couldn't cope with with his life, thinking everyone hated him and he was a some sort of freak. So he shot himself. Sad story if you understand the true meaning to it. David Firth's material I find interesting and I can't stop watching it!!

[lazicful]

Why does it show that Hitler-like face all the time? :S

[bodypiercing1989]

this is fucking art !!!!

[MusicHeart90]

scary man scary man scary man...

[zequelll]

wtf why was there a face in the sky for a brief second when he was crying on the roof?

[thecarcacium]

That background song... That's a redone version of the theme from "Turtles The Wonder Dog".

[DraconianSilenced]

This cartoon shows the futility of life.

[thefallofgavinshero]

i like the music

[tyrulvsson]

he seems very schizofrenic to me. i mean...the video is wrong? no! alot of people just wouldnt understand i think. i'd say if the goal here was to portray schizofrenia, it'd be pretty accurate.

[kittengurl123321]

OOH SWEARS

[coomeroriginal]

ha ha ha ha ha reminds me of myself an year ago

[Kaziahakachugs]

This must be the most upsetting world to live in ever. I dont know how anyone in his cartoons live. Like Johnathan he looks depressed. Salad fingers looks like a crazy daloozional rapist, and toast boy looks disturbed. HOW DOSE DAVID FIRTH THINK OF THIS STUFF!?

[BuTtErFlY3bexiie]

awww. This was sad :(
