Hubert Cumberdale is the deuteragonist of the Salad Fingers series. He appears with Jeremy Fisher and Marjory Stewart-Baxter, though he gets more cameos in the series. Compared to the other two puppets, though, Salad Fingers appears to dislike Hubert and often describes him with negative terms, such as tasting like “soot and poo”. However, Hubert seems to have the most connection with Salad Fingers.  

Like Jeremy, Hubert gains a humanoid form in "Friends". However, it is more malevolent in nature, making a screeching noise when interacted with. 

In "Glass Brother", Salad Fingers brings Hubert to life by stitching a suit made of flesh around the puppet. The puppet was able to talk, but his legs don't work. He moves by slithering on his stomach, dragging his legs from behind.  

Appearance

Hubert is a white finger puppet with a sewn on mouth and black dots for eyes. He wears a dark blue shirt underneath a stained, pale yellow vest. In episode eleven, Salad Fingers encases Hubert in a suit of human skin, supposedly Harry's, giving him the appearance of a "flesh boy". This was short-lived, however, as Hubert reappears in his puppet form in the next episode.
