I recently moved some directories on my website and I’m now redirecting some residual 404s. In the process, I was thinking about creating a customized 404 page and wanted to see what other folks were doing with their 404s. What I found was funny, geeky, disturbing yet all around, entertaining. Here are some of the jems I found:

There’s music with this one. Lionel Richie is singing, “well hello, is it me you’re looking for”. The overly sensitive males of the cheesy 80’s get to host this 404.

You’ll notice just about every story on this faux news page pertains to a 404. Note the All Your Base reference at the bottom right.

Of course Pownce…”it’s a trap!”. Simple and funny.

This one comes from Retard Zone. The combo of aesthetics, bizarreness, and ridicularity merge in this Bermuda Triangle of a 404.

This 404 displays a cracked out milk shake running and screaming across the screen while evil techno music plays in the background.

Not only is the page missing but here are some other things that have also gone missing: http://www.zug.com/mp3/nothere.htm

Pretty cool albeit geeky 404 which presents 37 different moments from the Capcom game Phoenix Wright in all its 8 bit glory.

Etsy has a great 404 from Nintendo’s Link (a game I probably played way too much back in the day).

Of course Jib Jab would have something funny right? Not bad:

Urban Outfitters has one…not that impressive, only because they paid someone half a cent in Malaysia to build it.

B3ta presents a slideshow of various 404 themed images. Some NFSW.
