Sheffield? I thought it was Mansfield, you can tell by the market place, the absence of actual market stalls & the mamba addled citizens walking about like zombies.
Another great surreal take on the systems of oppression we live under. I liked how this one leaned into the normalcy of the bizarre circumstances of corporate greed, literally feeding on the less fortunate. I also really liked the scene with the wheelchair bound man yelling at the main character. It made me think about how reactions to systems of oppression are often taken out of context and framed as too much, but we know that behind the scenes, the main character likely played a role in making life so terrible for the 'malformed' citizens. Really looking forward to seeing the next part.

Hey Firth, huge fan since [redacted]. This is a work of art, even your meme work is. Salad fingers is an adored fan favorite but Not Stanley was a personal favorite growing up 😅 this might be mine now, it’s great. I humbly ask you to see if subtitles can be added if more of these are to come because my hearing and vision are going but mostly my hearing so I keep replaying to understand.

Because you’re fucking awesome dude, I thank you for inspiring me.

David, you need to create a point-and-click game! I know you already kinda made one. I mean like this video, pretty sure you know what I mean! You've got the vision-pls turn it into a real sick, twisted adventure!
I remember seeing that he was working on a game but it's about his jerry jackson series, which are more about crude edgy humor than his more surreal horror stuff, still, being his first game i bet he's just learning the stuff and in the future we'll get something more polished and horrific. I, personally am pretty hyped for the jackson game, I love his more silly stuff like JJ and burnt face man as much as his more dreamlike work
Holy crap man. The effort you put into this is incredible. Just think, there're people out here who've been watching your stuff from the beginning and all these years later still thoroughly enjoy stumbling on a new David Firth release. fucken cheers
David Firth is a national treasure + must be funded/protected at all costs. In an age of media blandness, it’s beautiful to be given something so good, that makes you think AND feel. Bravo Sir, Bravo.... (Also I cannot overstate how much I desperately need + want a piece of David’s art)
@@tomasmax5616 well yeah, why wouldn't it be? imagine accepting grotesque violence as "actual art" and not accepting grotesque body horror that happens to involve the naked human form
@crumpet575 does that remind you of your mother? Its barely comparable to a human and its grotesque, but thats the point of this "art": things being grotesque and morbid. Guess that's not for me.
@@tomasmax5616 The point is not to be grotesque for the sake of being grotesque lol, it's presented that way for the sake of furthering its social commentary on the depravity of the upper class (in the cannibalism scene at least). I'm not entirely certain just yet what Gice himself (the tiny guy with the top hat) and the resulting imagery is supposed to represent, it's a bit hard to get a full idea of what was being said with the scene censored unfortunately. Based on the chairwoman's response to it though, I have to assume Gice is something or someone the upper class uses to manipulate the will of their citizens (you could interpret this as a lot of things, religion comes to mind most immediately given the other religious allegories present in the video such as with the Gice follower in the wall speaking of Gice's return, mirroring Christian beliefs and positing Gice as a kind of Christ figure), so depending on how you interpret what Gice actually is, the scene could be taken as a representation of ideological/nationalist/religious fervor as a grotesque and off-putting amalgamation of humanity as a collective (hence why the grotesque characters look like they're patched together) being channeled into a blind state of depraved passion and pleasure -- an ideological euphoria -- despite the event itself carrying no actual significance or change to their lives; it's just one of many sensationalist distractions the upper class uses to keep its citizens permanently placated. Or at least that's how I interpreted it, one could probably get a lot of different interpretations from this. Reminds me a bit of The Holy Mountain (1971) by Alejandro Jodorowsky lol.
fascinating! what at first feels like a departure from previous works is actually such an interesting evolution of your already unique style! i'm definitely excited to see more! :)
I really admire your style of writing and art through these videos. The pacing and choice of words make it feel like a strange dream that feels unusually relatable.
You've come a long way. Your work remains a pleasant little shadow to hide away in when the lights of this world burn a bit too hot. I don't really have any money to spare, but if you ever need... I'll bin for ya.
This is the type of things you only see in your dreams. So wild yet deeply interesting. The characters are so bizarre looking, and really strikes a chord within the soul. This is going to be a life-changer for some people! I'm going to share the crap out of this so others can come in to this place that is far more interesting than this world we live in!
i would picture stuff like this when i got upset as a child. it’s genuinely so validating seeing the exact style replicated in animation. i hope to follow in your footsteps one day. thank you for the inspiration.
Ohhh man, as soon as I saw him walking down the streets, I could not believe that GICE was finally back! Been missing that little dude positive attitude for years!
Funny that… imagination can fill in the censored bits. We think we know what it’s showing and makes it a mystery and taboo. People want to see it uncensored now, bravo David!😉 Really liking this. 😎👍
I am not kidding, as an alcoholic binge drinker I've had this types of characters in my dreams always when I stop the drinking, they are really terrifying but at times I am lucid and I can almost be at ease with these characters. (Because I realize that I am only dreamin and about to wake up) Any other alcoholics with similar kinds of experiences who can relate to these characters?? It is not exactly delirium tremens, but maybe a form of alcohol witdrawal to say the least. Those dreams have always some kind of a deeper connection to the world I live in and the fears Ive had I feel.
I was literally raised with David Firth's animations and they are embedded in some of the deepest lasting impressions on my psyche (for better or worse lol), so it feels like going home 🖤
Your talent for this style of animation is overwhelming! Every single frame could be studied so deeply for all the little intricacies. I can't imagine how long it took. Excited to see more!!
I'm going to write an essay on what I think this entire animation means. I have my interpretation, and I think it's a pretty good one. It has a clear contrast between the rich elitists and the people who are less fortunate, like the mentally ill. And I think Gice is a figure head that the elitists created to shut them all up. I mean think about it, Gice just came around saying hi to people, and not really doing anything. He was feeding into the opinion of everyone else, without acting like an individual. Idk something just feels off about the entire situation presented in this film,. And if you take it at face value, I think you would miss the point entirely. But I have way more reasoning. I'm going to subscribe to anyone who shares their opinion on this film as a response to this comment.
I think this first animation introduces far too many story threads, making a meaningful interpretation not really possible atm. I think a generalized inference of the elite vs. the unfortunate/poor is an easy one to make, but it's also extremely surface level. I care more about learning about the MC, but also about Gice, as the whole show is named after him. A lot of people seem to like associating him with populists, or the type of establishment-based working class hero, but I really can't say for sure. History is also full of very genuine heroes of the lower rungs of society, but many of them are predominantly unheard of today. Basically, I think all that can be said atm is "Who knows?" I hope part 2 comes quickly 🙏
@@SpearHeadTheAssault Come on bro, I have some nice thoughts and theories about what we've seen so far of Gice. Also questions. I'm noticing a pattern with each of the rich folks having different powers, and abilities. Like Pressman's ability to blow out a giant fire ball. And idk, I just got stuff out of this animation. It was interesting, and I was wondering if it was an allegory for what's going on right now in the world. Also I'm interested to see what's going on with that guy who said that Pressman made him feel like a piece of shit. He seems like he might have some very juicy demons. My point is there is plenty of discussion to have about the few things we saw in this.
Who's the man in the closet then? I haven't read any comment that goes beyond some vague "upper class vs masses" narrative which seems extremely weak to me.
@@BachelorChowFlavour I understand. It is a weak interpretation right now. That's just what I got out of it. The man in the closet was really interesting. I wonder what role he is gonna play, if any at all.
Thank you so much David I'm always so excited to see you I love you're work very much I grew up watching you so just know you're truly talented and have such a gift. Love you David always happy to see more❤️🥰
Is this some commentary about the ruling elite being usually noticeably distinct from the working class by its arrogance, "purity" and holier-than-thou attitude, which generates a lot of animosity and resentment... but that it can transfigure into the role of a Gice, which is sort of a populist, mythical figure that is able to be rethorically and aesthetically simple, vulgar, "dirty" and "sinful" as the masses, which makes him attain incredible popularity and even inspire relief from the people as they come to believe that, after years of ostracism and neglect, there's finally someone truly powerful that's on their side...even though this figure itself is part of the same elite that is woefully committed to its own affairs and power?
I think you've nailed it. In history, there is a certain abundance of "Working Class Heroes" who have nothing to do with lower income society. The more ambitious members of the ruling class, willing to gamble.
thank you David, i'v been growing up on your creations since 2005 '06? i dunno man, but you had a huge influence on me, thank you for making whatever is that you do.
You are a light in the storm, David. You're work has always resonated with me. I, too, am "mentally unwell" and people scare me. They call it psychosis but I know the truth of it.
You’ve gotten better and better Mr Firth. The scenery in this are so good, they feel so familiar and genuine. You are a master, thank you for providing us.
You're animation is so ubiquitous that it might as well be its own genre at this point. Nothing hits quite like a David Firth animation. The animation continues to get smoother and the character designs become more uncanny. I love watching your stuff. I never know where its going.
I personally would absolutely jump at the idea of developing a game designed by David Firth. PLEASE make this happen. I think the Gice universe would be PERFECT for it.
It's always a pleasure to watch your stories . my all time favs are toaster boy, cream and sock series ..I swear you unlocked my understanding of darkness as a kid . My Favorite artist on youtube regarding cartoons on dark subjects. I'm always excited to show others your work if they have interest in it. It was always more than what you see and hear when it comes to your work. And that's beautiful. Thanks man. You are doing good and helping us understand things we normally are uncomfortable learning about as a whole .. also!! The old school style , keep it. Don't get too colorful unless needed The art itself speaks volumes. Scratchy lines and weird areas and shapes. Reminded me of nightmares. It's close to uncanny , not being able to see 100% clearly was the point of uncertainty. Like a kid's imagination playing tricks . You did it right . Keep it up man . And thank you for this "hard to get" content that's "done right " . I know it isn't easy to do so i give you my thanks along with another million from the minds you helped over the years battling negativity trying to get that itch scratched . You scratch that itch . In a way no one can expect . Needless to say it is in fact , beautiful . Take care Mr. Firth. Cant wait to watch this episode now and i look forward to the next . We live in a weird world . Beautiful. But weird. If one takes notice . ;)
ugh what a treat! I honestly love seeing when you've uploaded something new. I've been a fan since I discovered your Jerry Jackson series years ago. hopefully we get to see more content from you soon. From watching this I'm so excited for what you've got planned. keep it up you absolute legend
Thank you for doing what you do! I remember watching your videos as a kid, I was brought in by the "Sock" series and then fell in love with the rest of your amazing work! Thank you for making the world a brighter place to be in!!
My favorite shot of the whole short was the wheelchair man completely submerged under the water, floating in darkness, You can barely make out his face in the dark, murky, waters. It's so haunting It is definitely something that's going show up in my nightmares ❤
sorry david i say this will be a lovely series but i get to distracted with the images getting blurred cause i have adhd but ill still watch salad fingers your a great creator
So is the deformed Chernobyl Leprechaun showing up and devolving everything into an eldritch nightmare orgy a thing the English look forward to every year?
Once again graced with the otherworldly dread of David Firth's imagination. One of the best parts of these videos is the sound design, I think a lot of people overlook it. The music and sound design are always a morbid delight. Fantastic work as always!
I love all the symbolism in the story! One that stood out to me especially was how the rich people eating other people represents the suffering they had to build on to get to where they are.
By watching this once so far, this is my interpretation. This town is run by a baby gangster named Gice, who I think gave the town its 'fun activities 'if you get what I mean. He leaves and a new guy comes to town. This guy is part of a council with people who just like the town, have mutated due to the hallucagenic water and cannibalism. (This is why the old man doesn't eat any of the body. ) So basically Gice is the literal life of the town

You are a light in the storm, David. You're work has always resonated with me. I, too, am "mentally unwell" and people scare me. They call it psychosis but I know the truth of it.
You’ve gotten better and better Mr Firth. The scenery in this are so good, they feel so familiar and genuine. You are a master, thank you for providing us.
Gice finally came, and so have I
0:44 !! LOVE this btw
You're animation is so ubiquitous that it might as well be its own genre at this point. Nothing hits quite like a David Firth animation. The animation continues to get smoother and the character designs become more uncanny. I love watching your stuff. I never know where its going.
I absolutely love this stuff, this and "Three Skins Without Men" are my favorite.
That and spoilsbury toast boy
This is obviously excellent but CREAM is the masterpiece
Love your animations! Especially the Sock series.
I personally would absolutely jump at the idea of developing a game designed by David Firth. PLEASE make this happen. I think the Gice universe would be PERFECT for it.
Let me get my Salad Finger plushy slippers and watch this one in appropriate attire.
2:26 the string like strands of the frames in this scene are like music to my eyes, thank you for what you do, the magic lands so nice every time.
LOVE it sooo far... Keep it up Mr. Firth.
The aesthetics remind me so much of The Residents (the band). Your art application really is masterful. Fantastic work!
Thrilled to see the follow up!
Gosh, youtube's censorship is ruining the show for everyone.
It's always a pleasure to watch your stories . my all time favs are toaster boy, cream and sock series ..I swear you unlocked my understanding of darkness as a kid . My Favorite artist on youtube regarding cartoons on dark subjects. I'm always excited to show others your work if they have interest in it. It was always more than what you see and hear when it comes to your work. And that's beautiful. Thanks man. You are doing good and helping us understand things we normally are uncomfortable learning about as a whole .. also!! The old school style , keep it. Don't get too colorful unless needed The art itself speaks volumes. Scratchy lines and weird areas and shapes. Reminded me of nightmares. It's close to uncanny , not being able to see 100% clearly was the point of uncertainty. Like a kid's imagination playing tricks . You did it right . Keep it up man . And thank you for this "hard to get" content that's "done right " . I know it isn't easy to do so i give you my thanks along with another million from the minds you helped over the years battling negativity trying to get that itch scratched . You scratch that itch . In a way no one can expect . Needless to say it is in fact , beautiful . Take care Mr. Firth. Cant wait to watch this episode now and i look forward to the next . We live in a weird world . Beautiful. But weird. If one takes notice . ;)
Hell yeah David!!! ❤️
Edit: me to myself after 4 coffees and fully dehydrated: 2:23
Fr❤️
This is art. You have such a good eye for this and manage to capture every emotion in such a short time.
So excited. I missed your videos
The only person that's not heavily distored or mutated is the guy on the left at 6:58... just a normal looking black g...oh...oh, i get it.
I’ve also noticed that, it’s kinda odd how there’s not many people of color in David’s animation…
1:52, IS THAT A NORMAL HUMAN ?!
Yes, obviously.
Girthy Firthy at it again with another hell-scape 🫶🏼
David once again blessing us with another weird ass cartoon and his voice
How someone can make something seem unrealistic and realistic at the same time... unbelievable !! That's the genius of David Firth.
L RUclips for effecting David’s work.
I would like some milk from the milkman's wife's tits

Thank you for doing what you do! I remember watching your videos as a kid, I was brought in by the "Sock" series and then fell in love with the rest of your amazing work! Thank you for making the world a brighter place to be in!!

My favorite shot of the whole short was the wheelchair man completely submerged under the water, floating in darkness, You can barely make out his face in the dark, murky, waters. It's so haunting It is definitely something that's going show up in my nightmares ❤
sorry david i say this will be a lovely series but i get to distracted with the images getting blurred cause i have adhd but ill still watch salad fingers your a great creator
So is the deformed Chernobyl Leprechaun showing up and devolving everything into an eldritch nightmare orgy a thing the English look forward to every year?
Hey, whats up gice! Haven gice done!
Thank god you're still producing these gems, never cease, please.
6:26 I felt that
Loved seeing your art on all the walls :)
1:13 arriving in Birmingham station
perfect.
Once again graced with the otherworldly dread of David Firth's imagination. One of the best parts of these videos is the sound design, I think a lot of people overlook it. The music and sound design are always a morbid delight. Fantastic work as always!
I have never been more grateful for youtube censorship
I hope that David Lynch finds and watches this animation some time. I bet he'd be tickled by it. Thanks for sharing your works with us!
5:37 Oh.. thats censorship on a david firth animation..
They censored david firth..
Love the wonderful worlds you craft man, thank you for creating! It's really appreciated!
I love all the symbolism in the story!
One that stood out to me especially was how the rich people eating other people represents the suffering they had to build on to get to where they are.
Or the literal truth...
By watching this once so far, this is my interpretation.
This town is run by a baby gangster named Gice, who I think gave the town its 'fun activities 'if you get what I mean. He leaves and a new guy comes to town.
This guy is part of a council with people who just like the town, have mutated due to the hallucagenic water and cannibalism. (This is why the old man doesn't eat any of the body. )
So basically Gice is the literal life of the town

It’s a sad day when the real world is more disturbing than one of Firth’s animations.
7:22 woah….whats happening
As an American, this is what I assume thatchers england looked like lmao
