Favourite 404s

Here are some of my favourite 404 pages.* Send me some cool ones to be featured here (with credits!)

 

http://bitly.com/returnemmaa404response - lovely animated page with a nice JavaScript ripple effect

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/404/404 - A hidden gem in the BBC Programmes 404. It uses the classic BBC Test Card, but wait... Mr Blobby has invaded! The page seems to have since been taken down (almost as soon as I added it here)...

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/404 - Another nice BBC 404. Be warned that a guy shouts out the word you're hovering over...

 

http://www.zervasandpepper.com/404 - One of mine. The band seemed to like it, it just needs a funny image

 

http://lesscss.org/404 - I love LESS for making CSS just easier and cooler. The 404 page sums them up really.

 

https://github.com/404 - cute Star Wars reference, now animated slightly in HTML5

 

chi.mp (no longer linkable) - now a Star Trek reference

http://mailchimp.com/404 - a longstring of sausages is always funny!

http://www.3sixty.co.uk/page-not-found.aspx - no longer linkable. Wilted daisy, queue comedy failed trumpet noise

http://proteys.info/404/ - WARNING: quite loud, but this one has to be viewed with the sound on to be appreciated! Thanks @RMM1982

http://www.thinkgeek.com/404/ - I just like the word "Erroids"

http://www.bluegg.co.uk/404 - Saw these guys at the awesome Port 80 web conference in Newport. They were cool, and so is their 404 page (Tom even did a yoda impression after audience pressure!)

http://css-tricks.com/thispagedoesnotexist - the page title reads "You've ripped a hole in the fabric of the internet. Love, CSS-tricks."

http://www.google.com/404 - you've gotta love a broken robot!
