Jason Bayless on 2012-10-15 A 404 error page is a standard message displayed when a web server cannot find the page that the user is requesting, in some instances companies choose to take the extra time to customize their 404 error page to be a little more informative, unique or dam right hilarious! Today I wanted to show you some of my favorite funny 404 pages that I think are pretty funny and also act as a great way to reflect a companies personality.
Of course, when designing your 404 page there is not always a need to create a funny viral 404 error message – you can help the user find what they are in search for by displaying recent articles, search boxes or by simply re-directing the user back to the homepage. Take a look at the showcased funny 404’s and drop me a comment if you have one for the list.
