Beloved, Horrifying Web Series Salad Fingers Returns [VIDEO]

For those of you unfamiliar with Salad Fingers -- brought to my attention because of the eerie similarity between my great aunt's voice and the character Salad Fingers' lilting accent -- it's a Flash show created by David Firth in 2004. The cartoon stars the eponymous hero, who lives in some post-apocalyptic world and regularly converses with inanimate objects.

Back in the day, the cartoon quickly established a foothold in the Internet zeitgeist, scoring a place in the The San Francisco Chronicle's "Year in Review" for pop culture.

The newest episode is characteristically deranged and charmingly unsettling. Warning, though: Much like the previous eight episodes, it's a little gross.

Enjoy! And sleep with one eye open.
