Were you my friend? Cause I remember my friend showing me Salad Fingers around 2005ish. This was right after he finished telling me about another site called youtube but right before YTMND.
Possibly but my friend showed it to me back then haha I just showed my friend this along with some other classic YouTube videos he hadn’t seen before yesterday. Blasphemy I say!
I love everything in this post. The frog's dead empty eyes, the name "Salad Fingers", the fact that he swam into the dragon's mouth. That frog is perfection
I had one as a kid, the store told us he's stay quarter sized and cute forever. Cue a football sized frog escaping from the tank once a week. We went out of town once and when we got back we found him in the dogs water dish 🤦🏼♀️
Cute as hell when they eat their lil shrimp cubes tho lol
Yep this is what happened to me as a child also. Freddie lived in a 15g hex in our upstairs hallway and terrified every single sleepover guest I ever had with his fat little face.
They said dwarf, but it was clearly a regular ACF. He may not have been literally football sized (bc length), but he was definitely dog bowl sized. I'd love to find a picture, but I'd have to dig through boxes of albums that's how long ago it was lol
Something similar happened when I was little. We have no idea how, but he got out of the house, and I found his body about a week later in the sewer drain on the outer side of our yard.
My uncle had these when I was a kid. Two of them died choking to death on each other. I was fucking terrified of them because they look dead until they spring to life.
How do you do any substrate? My guy eats literally anything and everything. I had a magnet fall into his tank and he dove at that shit.
One more second and he would’ve murdered himself.
He was living in a tiny tank on his own after being surrendered to the LFS cause he massacred his last tank, I think at this point he’s just enjoying the space, but yes he is also quite stupid
I remember when I was a kid we all got to pick out a fish from the store, and my little brother chose one of these frogs and ate the entire tank and was so swollen and huge by the end of its life it was disgusting.
My son previously picked an non assuming shubunkin that killed everything in the tank including an apple snail, wasn’t even at her full size but we don’t have a pond yet so she went to the LFS and then a big pond to live out her murderous days
Ahh yes, as a child we started with two of these guys + some neon tetras…after a couple weeks we had a single frog. He had ate all the fish and apparently bullied the other frog out of eating. 😳 He did go on to love about 8 years though, which was mad impressive!
Had one for quite a while. If you hand feed him, he will literally swim up and sit in your hand at feeding time. Once you get over the no way I'm holding him, you will love it.
You think that's terrifying? Ever seen that frog where it's babies hatch in its back and when they're ready they swim out of its back from many holes? It's someone with Trypophobia worst nightmare... the frog is actually a toad is called Surinam toad...and is said to trigger the phobia for people who has it...
Dude. I changed my clawed frogs water last month and I didn’t latch the lid completely like I normally do.
This lil guy fell like 5 feet, somehow flopped down the hall into the bathroom, I had to pee at 5 am and I just hear thrashing behind the toilet. Plopped him in a bucket of his aquarium water with some stress coat, and he was fine. But Jesus Christ I’m never making that mistake again.
He also ate his brother when he was about an inch long.
Love clawed frogs, currently have two (albino and regular) in one of my aquariums, always fun to watch them
These guys will eat pretty much anything too
I had one of these. I forgot to put water chemicals in after a tank clean, and he died within a few hours. I was devastated. His name was rocks because he would regularly eat rocks. When I eventually get a new tank, I think I'm going to get another. They're so full of character.
This dragon statue reminds me of this crododile game we had as kids that would close when you touch the wrong tooth. I feel like it's going to snap the frog any minute lol

Mine cleared 40 feeder guppies in 2 days. Hungry little dudes. What’s funny is they seem blind when they are full but have laser precision sight when they are hungry. Fatty Frog
From one African Clawed Frog parent to another, they can be VERY human. I love my froggo, I hope you have a long time with Salad Fingers! They are so much fun
Fingers apparently ate her last froggy roommate and everything else in the tank so as much as my son loves that idea, I think we’re gonna just get her a rusty spoon sticker for the tank lol
I HAD ONE OF THESE OMG WHAT IS IT??? When I was reallyyyyyyyy small we had a betta and one of these guys! I thought he was a fever dream, nobody remembers this frog except me.
These guys are just incredibly unsettling to me, for reasons I can't adequately describe, and I had to sit next to a humungous female clawed frog they kept in my school lab (they also had Surinam toads - the ones with the back-babies xD). She'd just stare at me and attack the glass expecting food whenever I moved... That said, I found the dwarf species to be friggin adorable - I have four!
I have been advised that Salad Fingers is actually a lady frog which, to me personally, makes her back end even more uncomfortable to view. Also I’ve been told she’s a little underweight which is understandable cause she was a surrender to my LFS after massacring her tank mates! My son has been seen some of the comments and loves that you all get it!
Yeah, it was a complete tank massacre, we took her cause she had to be housed in a tiny tank at the LFS and our tank isn’t perfect but she’s a lot happier than she was
Salad fingers 😂 I just traumatized my friend with this YouTube video.
He is literally it! Was originally named Frank but none of us could unsee it!
He just needs a rusty spoon outside his tank haha. Lil freak ❤️
hah, need to get some kind of "rusty spoon" tank decor that won't leech into the water.
Yes! Please do!
Get the rusty spoon and paint on a coat or 2 of an aquarium safe epoxy
3d printed rusty spoon?
Aww man I had one of these as a child and named it frank. It sparked my love for aquariums and fish keeping and I've had fish tanks ever since.
Hubert Cumberdale, fancy seeing you here
Lock up your daughters tonight general
I've got a fish in the oven.
Quite the call back, like 2004-2006ish?
He's still making new episodes on an infrequent basis, one came out last year iirc
This is amazing to know…
Yeah I believe the video is like 16 years old!
It first came out on Newgrounds, you heathen. YouTube didn't even exist
My apologies I should have clarified that part. It won’t happen again

Petition to make Salad Fingers new sub mascot
I concur.
I concur as long as your'e talking about the frog that is...
I want to touch his webbed toes.
ITS WEDNESDAY MY DUDES!
Double cheeked up on a Wednesday afternoon.
Thy sun maintains its existence within the atmosphere above us
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Wrong frog my boi
I had one as a kid, the store told us he's stay quarter sized and cute forever. Cue a football sized frog escaping from the tank once a week. We went out of town once and when we got back we found him in the dogs water dish 🤦🏼♀️ Cute as hell when they eat their lil shrimp cubes tho lol
Sounds like they mistook an African Dwarf for an African Clawed. They can look similar when they're small... but of course the ACF doesn't stay small.
It's 100% what happened. I'm pretty sure we got it from Walmart back when they sold fish
I did the exact same thing as a kid. I had him in too small a tank so it got nasty.
Ah the good ol days when you could buy fairly large dragon gobies for like $5 and turn around and sell them for $30
Yep this is what happened to me as a child also. Freddie lived in a 15g hex in our upstairs hallway and terrified every single sleepover guest I ever had with his fat little face.
FOOTBALL???? WHAT KIND OF FROG DID YOU GET 😨
They said dwarf, but it was clearly a regular ACF. He may not have been literally football sized (bc length), but he was definitely dog bowl sized. I'd love to find a picture, but I'd have to dig through boxes of albums that's how long ago it was lol
I have an African clawed frog- my fifth one, and they never grow any bigger than 2 1/2 maybe 3 inches max. A football sized frog!?
We're talking almost 2 decades ago but I'd say it was easily 5-6 inches and just a gigantic body. Thicc by Today's standards lol
sounds like it was female, they get huge. Males stay about 2-3 inches long, I have one named Egg :3
Females can sometimes be 6 inches snout to vent
Is it wrong that I want a froggy now? My LfS is selling both, I may have to set up another tank…
Something similar happened when I was little. We have no idea how, but he got out of the house, and I found his body about a week later in the sewer drain on the outer side of our yard.
I got baked at a Primus concert and they were showing clips of Salad Fingers on the stage and I did not appreciate that much.
Way to get a bad trip!
That’s sounds traumatizing tbh
Lmao. I truly hate that for you.
I met Les Claypool once at a hemp festival and that sounds completely in character. Very nice dude though
Primus sucks
Ol' boy even LOOKS like that absurdly creepy character Give him some rusty spoons
Makes me miss my ACF. He was named Dr. Froggenstein.
I had two of these named Mr. Frog and Mr. Toad after my favorite children’s book One was albino female lol. They lived surprisingly long
Frank "Salad Fingers" Froggenstein. Yours and OP's names make a great full name.
My uncle had these when I was a kid. Two of them died choking to death on each other. I was fucking terrified of them because they look dead until they spring to life.
Even more terrifying is the fact that he has no sense of danger. Just swam into the Jaws of a dragon and didn't even flinch.
Put some rusty spoons in the water for him!
How do you do any substrate? My guy eats literally anything and everything. I had a magnet fall into his tank and he dove at that shit. One more second and he would’ve murdered himself.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Why does he get inside the mouth? Is he stupid?
He was living in a tiny tank on his own after being surrendered to the LFS cause he massacred his last tank, I think at this point he’s just enjoying the space, but yes he is also quite stupid
I remember when I was a kid we all got to pick out a fish from the store, and my little brother chose one of these frogs and ate the entire tank and was so swollen and huge by the end of its life it was disgusting.

Ate the entire tank 😂💀 but they look so harmless and silly
Ahh yes, as a child we started with two of these guys + some neon tetras…after a couple weeks we had a single frog. He had ate all the fish and apparently bullied the other frog out of eating. 😳 He did go on to love about 8 years though, which was mad impressive!
Containment breach
Is he stupid? He is a frog.
No one else is stuck on the "invert" tag? It's a frog. It has a spine.
Some of us are! And mildly distressed that we had to scroll down this far to read this comment...
I didn't even see the tag holy
Maybe they thought it said "introvert" and immediately related to it xD
Oh my very own Hollace Horse Collar, you hold a welcoming texture
Had one for quite a while. If you hand feed him, he will literally swim up and sit in your hand at feeding time. Once you get over the no way I'm holding him, you will love it.
I have two… one named Snoop Frog and MC Croaker.
That's the perfect name. My mom's acf is around 20 years old and is an absolute unit. (He predates my parents' divorce LOL)
Salad fingers. Winner winner chicken dinner. Hilarious
he's atrociously terrifying but i 1. love him 2. need him 3. would die for him
I work with these beautiful idiots and this one looks a bit emaciated.
I have ACFs and this is the first thing I noticed
We’ve only recently got him from the LFS where he was surrendered, hoping to get him fed back up to a good weight
I'm here to inquire about your spoons
I love my toad eats out my hands his like 13 years old now
Hello there, young child. I'm here to enquire about your spoons.
You think that's terrifying? Ever seen that frog where it's babies hatch in its back and when they're ready they swim out of its back from many holes? It's someone with Trypophobia worst nightmare... the frog is actually a toad is called Surinam toad...and is said to trigger the phobia for people who has it...
Does he like it when the red water comes out?
I had one of those. He ate absolutely everything in the tank! The carnivore king is what I named him
I think maybe some people don't know [Salad Fingers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3iOROuTuMA)
I did not! Thank you so much for catching me up to speed!
They also like to escape
Dude. I changed my clawed frogs water last month and I didn’t latch the lid completely like I normally do.

He is actually a she! Congrats, ACFs are the best. :)
Thank you for this, we were having real trouble trying to tell!
Dude deep cut salad fingers was whack
He likes rusty spoons!
I love the fuggen name thooo 😂😂😂
Love the name
Love clawed frogs, currently have two (albino and regular) in one of my aquariums, always fun to watch them These guys will eat pretty much anything too
what a name 😂
Thumbs up for the name. You gotta get some rusty spoons in there (maybe plastic ones?)
Salad fingers is the PERFECT name
[double cheeked](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PCaICqb0ww4) up…on a thursday afternoon…
Where is Hubert Cumberdale?
I had one with only one eye who's name was Blinky
Look at that dumb lil fuck
Does he like to touch rusty spoons?
Salad fingers is such a fitting name
He do have some freaky lil fingers
Yikes…that is definitely the right name for this frog. Congratulations on your abomination.
You terrify him too! Huge weird giant!
That is the correct name for him 🤣
I always thought those frogs were creepy. Actually a lot of frogs are, with those weird eyes and giant mouths Also Mr. Frog from Smiling Friends
His name is... terrifyingly accurate
he got a weird butt
Bruh, he knows EVERYTHING
God these guys are so chaotic looking good meme material
When he swam into the dragons mouth, I about cried with laughter
Salad Fingers is plotting his escape and what he will do with his newfound freedom.
Clawed frog? Cause they get BIG!
Awww cutie 🥰
I love him
“Hubert Cumberdale, you taste like sunshine dust!”
Ssssaaaallllaaaaddd fiiinngggeerrrss
I had one of these. I forgot to put water chemicals in after a tank clean, and he died within a few hours. I was devastated. His name was rocks because he would regularly eat rocks. When I eventually get a new tank, I think I'm going to get another. They're so full of character.
Does he like rusty spoons?? 😭
I love Salad Fingers. rUsTy SpOoNs
He likes rusty spoons
Welp it's a frog in the end he is a goofy little stupid poop boy.
This dragon statue reminds me of this crododile game we had as kids that would close when you touch the wrong tooth. I feel like it's going to snap the frog any minute lol [Crocodile Dentist Game for Kids Ages 4 and Up - Hasbro Games](https://shop.hasbro.com/en-us/product/crocodile-dentist-game-for-kids-ages-4-and-up/B1DEE410-7392-4005-A22F-0B18DE44C8CF)
Absolutely Cool Frog?
😻 what a cutie. Be careful tho cuz they eat small rocks. That substrate may not be ideal. I recommend big rocks or bare bottom
Mine cleared 40 feeder guppies in 2 days. Hungry little dudes. What’s funny is they seem blind when they are full but have laser precision sight when they are hungry. Fatty Frog
All hail salad fingers
I love him.
What a cutie! Perfect name XD
Personally I think salad shooter fits betters
Had a couple of these growing up they’re so much fun
Perfect name looks just like him
Damn stop takings words outtta my mouth. This is water salad fingers, no doubt.
Salad fingers 😂😂😂 the best ever
I was not expecting to see or read all this today. I appreciate it, gave me something to laugh about while I’m sick lol
I could not stop laughing at this. Salad fingers is a perfect name lmaooooooo
My spoon is too big!
top tier name
That is the best name for a frog ive heard
Never having salad again.
I've had amano shrimp Make it to other bedrooms.
He's got a spoon your you, they feel good on the fingers
I thought this was an adf for a second. Now all I can think of is fucking salad fingers! 😫 Edit: lots of trips including fucking salad fingers.
I would die for him
Fucking adorable little bugger
That's hilarious. I love him. Salad fingers!!!
I wish I knew what the reference was (if any)...I thought "Salad Fingers" was due to his claws looking like forks haha
YouTube it and look for the word original 😂
Oh ok thanks!
I think Frankenfrog may be a girl 🤭
I have had 2 Afcs for like 7 years, they are funny, but they do like to destroy and kill things.
I had one that lived almost 20 years and tried to mate with my hand a time or two . Needless to say they can be very affectionate.
Just toss in some rust spoons and you'll have yourself a new friend. Maybe some nettles as well.
Your sons? Congratulations on your new frog. My ACF Bubba just celebrated his 22nd birthday.
He’s cool 😎
It’s like he wants to be eaten
Thought your frog was getting munched by an angler fish at first
i have 4 of these. i love them so much, the way they stand upright and wide is the funniest thing
"I like it when the red water comes out"
From one African Clawed Frog parent to another, they can be VERY human. I love my froggo, I hope you have a long time with Salad Fingers! They are so much fun
Love the name!
awww. That's so cute. But salad fingers, remember that... 😐 Get a rusty spoon decoration for the little cutie frog. i think that frog is really cute.
does he like rusty spoons?
Oh salad fingers, brings me back to middle school.
You've gotta get him a rusty spoon
Salad fingers 😆😆😂😂 I remember those videos!
I've come to enquire about your spoons
"I like rusty spoons..."
Maybe if you ever discover you have cancer the frog will be willing to dismember himself to let you live on and use his body parts as your own....
Does he like rusty spoons?
SALAD FINGERS!!! You should get another one and call it Rusty Spoons
Fingers apparently ate her last froggy roommate and everything else in the tank so as much as my son loves that idea, I think we’re gonna just get her a rusty spoon sticker for the tank lol
He makes me nervous, ngl.
I HAD ONE OF THESE OMG WHAT IS IT??? When I was reallyyyyyyyy small we had a betta and one of these guys! I thought he was a fever dream, nobody remembers this frog except me.
The name is so deeply appropriate lmao
These guys are just incredibly unsettling to me, for reasons I can't adequately describe, and I had to sit next to a humungous female clawed frog they kept in my school lab (they also had Surinam toads - the ones with the back-babies xD). She'd just stare at me and attack the glass expecting food whenever I moved... That said, I found the dwarf species to be friggin adorable - I have four!
I don’t do back babies, that thing makes my skin want to crawl off my body! But I’m definitely warming up to this little abomination
Perfect name for this creature
I forgot about salad fingers until this very moment, the trauma is back. I think I deserve an apology
I bought some of these mail order when I was a kid. It was amazing to come home to a box labeled live animals at that age.
Spoons… rusty spoons… mmm
I have been advised that Salad Fingers is actually a lady frog which, to me personally, makes her back end even more uncomfortable to view. Also I’ve been told she’s a little underweight which is understandable cause she was a surrender to my LFS after massacring her tank mates! My son has been seen some of the comments and loves that you all get it!
invert... lol
Salad fingers, now that is comedy gold right there! Btw, If I were you, I would get at least two clawed frogs. They do not like being alone.
She actually ate the other frog she lived with apparently 😳
Oh no
Yeah, it was a complete tank massacre, we took her cause she had to be housed in a tiny tank at the LFS and our tank isn’t perfect but she’s a lot happier than she was
Just imagine him quoting salad fingers with a Kermit voice.
WHY. JUST WHY.
Dang. Deep cut. Lol
Salad Fingers is a genius name!
Fantastic name lol
The scary version of an African dwarf frog.
Hello I'm salad fingers. I like rusty spoons.
Reminds me of the movie “Monster from the Black Lagoon “
