For those Who May be Unaware David Firth is an English Animator, Director, Writer, Musician, Actor, Voice Actor, Video Artist, and Broadcaster of Whom we are a Hugh Fans of of here at FYB. The Word NIGHTMARE is used most often to Describe Firth’s body of Work and Why We are such Diehard Fans of His work. Several of Firth’s works in Flash Animation, along with Multiple Music Videos and Works of Video Art, have garnered a Large (and Ever Growing) Followings Over the Years. Now We weren’t Salad Fingers Fans from the Very Beginning because well fucking Hell I’m not that fucking Old. The Fact remains that Salad Fingers is Celebrating its 20th fucking Anniversary is fucking Wild in My opinion.
To Those who may Not Know Boards of Canada are a Scottish Electronic Duo consisting of Brothers Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin. The Band formed initially as a Group in 1986 before becoming a Duo in the 1990s. Boards Of Canada Signed First to SKAM Records and then They were signed by Warp Records Back in the 1990s. The Duo received Recognition After Releasing Their Debut Album Music Has The Right Children in 1998. They followed Their Debut Album with the Critically Acclaimed Albums Geogaddi (2002), The Campfire Headphone (2005) and Tomorrow’s Harvest (2013). “One of the Best Known and Loved Electronic Musical Acts of the Last Two Decades.” by Music Critics.
The Duo’s work is Largely Influenced by Outdated Media and the Electronic Music of the 1970s which Incorporates Vintage Synthesizers,Sampling, Hip Hop inspired Beats, and Analog Equipment. Analog Equipment is a Combination of Both Analog Machine and Analog Media that can together Measure, Record, Reproduce, Receive or Broadcast Continuous Information. Their Music has been Described as Exploring Themes related to Nostalgia as well as Childhood Memories, Science, Environmentalism, and Esoteric Subjects. Esoteric Subjects pertain to Extremely Unusual and Understood, or liked by Only a Small Number of People Especially those with Special Knowledge.
When it comes to Locus Toybox the Artist says it Best in Their Own Words: “My name is David Firth, I make all sorts of things like cartoons and pictures and music. This is my main solo music project. I start up different projects all the time, but this is one I keep coming back to. It’s a mixture of real instruments, samples and synth. I try and keep it as organic sounding as possible. I don’t know if you can dance to Locust Toybox, but you’re welcome to try.”
Description by David Firth: Salad Fingers is 20 years old so here is a special episode revisiting where it all began. In the original 2004 style.
We are Well Aware that due to Our Last Post this seems rather Contradictory which isn’t Exactly the Case. Granted this is the Old FYB Style Post and there is No Denying it and We Wouldn’t any-fucking-way. So what the fuck is Going On One might be Wondering so allow Us to Briefly Explain. We are Not so Much Pivoting to a New Style, but are in fact Returning to FYB’s Original Concept. The Original FYB Concept was Solely a Creative Writing Blog which is Fun as Fuck to Do there’s No Question of That. BUT the Problem with Writing is it’s a Process that can take an Unknown amount of Time to Complete. This isn’t the Optimal since in this Day and Age People have the fucking Attention Spans of fucking Goldfish (3 Seconds) and Demand Constant Unending Content. With that said Nothing is going to Change Overnight as the Transition will take some Time to Establish a Viable Writing Only Format.

As Far for the Music well Lets just Say it Simply isn’t Our Cup of Tea, But We did get a Kick Out of the Cringy Anime Vocals.

Welcome To Today’s FYB Post featuring Salad Fingers 13: Harvest the Latest Installment (Uploaded on September 27th) of the Salad Fingers Series By David Firth. For those Who May be Unaware David Firth is an English Animator, Director, Writer, Musician, Actor, Voice Actor, Video Artist, and Broadcaster of Whom we are a Hugh Fans of of here at FYB. The Word NIGHTMARE is used most often to Describe Firth’s body of Work and Why We are such Diehard Fans of His work. Several of Firth’s works in Flash Animation, along with Multiple Music Videos and Works of Video Art, have garnered a Large (and Ever Growing) Followings Over the Years.
Synopsis: Harvest begins with Salad Fingers preparing for what He calls “The Grand Feast” which He is Hosting, and Hopes that He can Move Up the Social Latter.

Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring INDIGESTION by Cyriak. For Those Who may Not Know Cyriak is a Legendary British Animator whose Real Name is Cyriak Harris. Harris is Known as Mononymously, cyriak and His B3ta Username Mutated Monty (Harris has been a Regular Contributor to the British Website B3ta since 2004), is a British Freelance Animator and Composer. He is known for His Surreal, Creepy, and Bizarre Short Web Animations with the Frequent Use of the Droste Effect, and Features Original Dance/Electronic Music By Harris as Well.
This Video According to cyriak is a Collection of Animation Experiments that “congealed into a video”. This Video is, in Our Opinion, Best Viewed Either Stoned or While Getting Stoned (We Recommend a Bong for the Latter). INDIGESTION obviously has No Meaning Nor Point to it or to make which is fucking Fine by Us. We for one are Sick of Idiots Acting like Viable Content Creators/Artist which is an Increasingly Plagued Social Media. Social Media as it were Opened the Preverbal Pandora’s Box of Human Bullshit Behaviors but We Digress for Now. The Visuals in INDIGESTION appeal to Us because it Reminds Us of the Absurdly Surreal Animations of the Monty Python and the Flying Circus British TV Show. That and We simply like Creepy fucking Content because Normal is Boring and Boring is Bullshit so fuck the Bullshit Basically. So enough of this Babbling Bullshit let’s get on with it…
Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring SOCK 6 by David Firth and is One of His Longer Videos with a Runtime of 16 Minutes 51 Seconds. For those Who are Unaware David Firth is an English Animator, Director, Writer, Musician, Actor, Voice Actor, Video Artist, Broadcaster, and Creator of the Now Legendary SALAD FINGERS. The Word NIGHTMARE is used most often to Describe Firth’s body of Work and Why We are such Diehard Fans of His work. Several of Firth’s works in Flash Animation, along with Multiple Music Videos and Works of Video Art, have garnered a Large (and Ever Growing) Followings Over the Years.
Now Our Favorite David Firth Animation(s) is His SALAD FINGERS Series that is Until We watched SOCK 6 which fucking Instantly became Our new Firth Favorite. SOCK 6 ramps up the fucking Creep Factor taking it to a whole New fucking Level even for Firth and We think that’s P{pretty fucking Awesome. SOCK 6 takes Place in a Stark Post Apocalyptic Wasteland that Remind Us of the Old Stock Footage of Nuclear Bomb Test Sites from the 1950s. In the 1950s the American Military for some Reason would Construct Mock Towns Populated by Mannequins, and then Nuke the Holy Hell out of Them. Why the fuck would They go through All that Trouble Staging a Bomb Site, but Who fucking Knows what the fuck They were Thinking. The Story follows a Scievy Nameless Main Character (Who looks like Your Garden Variety Meth Addict) Starting in a Grimy Cafe/Diner with a Cook that’s a Mass of fucking Tentacles Named Allen. As far as We’re Concerned Allen is a Interdimensional Entity that’s a Cross Between the Kracken and Cthulhu and Accesses Our Dimension via a Portal that looks like a Food Service Window at a fucking Medival Times Restaurant.
From the Cafe The Main Character travels with a pair of Ghoulish looking Twins in a Car ride that can Only be Described as Hellish. The Woods are filled with Smoke, People Burning, People Melting Under the Intense Heat, Dying, and Some are Being Tortured. Then Arguably the Most Demented Part of the Video Occurs as the Main Character Engages in Beastiality with a Talking Female Cow. After fucking the Cow the Main Character Forces the Cow to Play a Childish Game with Dire Consequences. That’s when the Police get involved, Arrest, and Imprison the Main Character in in what Looks like a Solitary Confinement Cell in a Stank Basement Dungeon. Then the Main Character asks a Strange Woman Survey Questions about Pissing, Shitting, Suicide, and Sex while She is on the Toilet.
And Well That’s All We have to Say So On to SOCK 6!
Description: This is Sock Six, a story about a man and his special Genetical and bovine adventures.
Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring YOU TUBE IS KILLING ME…by One of Our All Time fucking Favorite Animators/Content Creators MeatCanyon. For Those Who may be Unaware MeatCanyon’s real name is Hunter August Hancock better known by His online user name MeatCanyon. Hancock is an American Youtuber, Animator, Voice Actor, Comedian, Writer, and Director who makes Parody Animations of Popular Characters (say Sponge Bob for instance). Some viewers of MeatCanyon’s Animations have been Described them in just One Single Word “Horrifying”. A common on going gag in Hancock’s video’s is that Something Normal or Mundane gets You Killed or Possible Worse.
One of the Main Reasons We’re such fucking Fans of MeatCanyon is He is a True Master of Mockery. MeatCanyon has made a Myriad of Scathing Parody Videos on Famous Personalities, Popular Fictional Characters from TV/Movies, BUT the Ones where He Slams Famous People are by Far Our Favorites. MeatCanyon has Openly Mocked Famous Fuckwits such as Asshole Elon Musk the Bratty Trust Fund Brat, The World’s Biggest Foodie Douchebag Guy Fieri, and The Absurdist One Man fucking Freak Show on the fucking Planet Nikocado Avocado for Example. Now in this Video MeatCanyon takes on YouTube in a Damning Commentary pertaining to the Youtube Platform itself, and We for One find it fucking Wildly Entertaining.
Basically We like Underdogs and let’s fucking face it in 2023 Content Creators on Youtube Ironically have become the Underdogs of the Platform. They Supplied/Supply Youtube with an Endless Stream of TOTALLY FREE CONTENT which Youtube uses to get Advertisers. We have become well fucking Aware that Youtube over the Last Several Years has become Increasingly more Restrictive concerning it’s Ever Changing Content Guidelines. These Tightening Restrictions have put an Effective Strangle Hold on what a Content Creator can Upload to Youtube. Last fucking Month for Example Youtube Announced that if You curse in the First 15 Seconds of Your Video is INSTANTLY Branded “Unsuitable for Advertisers” which would Prevent Advertising thus Financially Cock Blocking Content Creators. This Obviously fucks Not Only with the Content Creators can Upload but it also Directly fucks with Their Income/Finances as Well. We personally Think the Whole Monetization System is just Bullshit, BUT We do Understand with the Highly Competitive Market being a YouTuber has become Expensive. To Stay Competitive and Viable on the Platform YouTubers now Essentially have to Buy the Latest (and Most Expensive) Equipment. The Days of a Singular Light and Recording on One’s Cell Phone are LONG Gone as Production Value becomes More and More Relevant to Keep Up with Competitors.
Now incase You’re Wondering on what Grounds would Youtube Demonetize a Videos Now a Days and the Answer is PAINFULLY fucking Simple. Take the New Crackdown of Cursing which includes the No Cursing in the First 15 Seconds of a Video Rule. The Rule again is Curse in the 1st 15 Seconds then the Video is NOT SUITABLE for Advertisements, and if You Curse in the 1st 7 Seconds the Video is Demonetized. Youtube claims the New Language Rules are Meant to Ensure that Uploaded Videos are “SUITABLE FOR ADVERTISERS”. Let that Shit sink in for a fucking Minute.
The Bottomline here is Youtubers are Demonetized when Their Content is DEEMED NOT SUITABLE FOR ADS. What’s Our Point? Our Point is in the Beginning Youtube was a Fairly Decent Platform with Amazing Potential, and Actually Provided some Sort of Support for the Content Creators. Then like fucking Everything in fucking Life Money entered the Picture and Greed came Following Right After. So Youtube Who gets Their Content for FREE Mind You No Longer gives a Shit, Rat’s Ass, or Flying Fuck about the Content Creators or Their Content. Youtube has become the Advertisers Obedient Bitch waiting like a Loyal little Lap Dog at the Advertisers Beck and Call Bending to Their every Whim.
In Response to Youtube’s Constantly Changing and Increasingly Restrictive Rules/Policies We noticed a Trend Evolving in the Youtuber Community. At First Some Bigger Channels with Around a Million to Five Plus Million Subscribers would Tell the Viewer to Check Out Their Twitch Channel for Unedited, Uncensored, Videos taken Down by or Demonetized by Youtube, and Full Length Videos. This seemed Rather fucking Odd since Twitch is a Gaming/Gamer Platform, BUT the Reason These Content Creators were Suddenly Pitching Twitch made all the fucking sense in the World. The Youtube Content Creators were Using Twitch as an Additional or Alternate Platform for Their Content that’s been Shit Canned for One Reason or Another by Youtube. Then the Trend Changed and Twitch Fell by the Wayside as the Youtubers Searched for a Solution to Their Youtube Problems. Patreon has Apparently become the Number One Alternative Go To Platform for Frustrated/Aggravated/Annoyed/Pissed Off Content Creators. So One has to Wonder What is it about Patreon that’s so Appealing that More and More Youtubers are Moving and Promoting Their Content on the Patreon Platform?!
Well while Youtube is Free with Ads They’re at the Mercy of the Advertisers and Grovels Shamelessly at the Their Feet Patreon uses a Paid Membership Model. For those Who may Have Been Living under a Rock with Their Heads up Their Asses Patreon is a Crowdfunding Platform that Enables Fans to Pay and Support Content Creators and Their Work. And so Once again Money is the Bottomline in that Patreon is Simply a Better Option than Youtube because Members Donate to the Content Creators Directly and They receive a Higher Percent of the Members Donations. This Allows Patreon to Operate without Depending on Advertiser’s Dollars which would render Patreon like Youtube into a Sniveling Slave to the Advertiser’s Almighty Dollar.
It seems Utterly fucking Insane to Us that Youtube has become So Prioritized with Their Profits that They’re Actually causing some of the Biggest Channels on the Platform to Jumping Ship. For Example this Particular MeatCanyon Video Alone Racked up 1.5 Million Views in the First 24 Hors after being Uploaded. Not to Mention but it Helps that MeatCanyon has 5.6 Million Subscribers on His Main Channel and Over a Million on His Second Channel. Youtube is Literally Banking on Longevity alone to Survive and Thrive in the Face of Growing Competition. Youtube just like Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter All Who’s Reputations have Plummeted Straight down the Shitter are Relying on Their Addictive Nature.
That’s to Say in Spite of all the fucked up and Foul shit the Previously mentioned Social Media Platforms are Involved in People will Continue to Use Their shit No Matter What. People are so fucking Fake that During the Day They talk shit about these Platforms/Companies and How bad They are, BUT by Night behind Closed Doors They’re still using Them Every goddamn Day. Unfortunately it Follows Human Behavior to a Tee since People Know Booze, Drugs, Gambling Etc. are Bad well We’ll put it this way a Crackhead is Gonna Smoke Crack.
