What are y'all's favorite 404 pages?

Happy Friday! ๐Ÿ™Œ

I was just chatting with a couple of DEV mods (shoutout to @sebastianccc and @thomasbnt) and trying to view Sebastian's artwork on Driblle but kept hitting a 404. That said, it was a pretty dang delightful 404...

Looks like this:

The error message has the heading

Gotta love that functional color slider at the bottom. Check it out for yourself here!

This got me thinking what are y'all's favorite 404 pages? Share'em below in the comments if they're still in existence!

So, we have this highly influential politician from Brazil who has lost one finger when he worked, and for a couple of years, this was the 404-page of his party

Any political discussion aside, this was absolutely clever, and I envy whoever had this idea

Lol! That's pretty great.

I had an uncle who lost a finger from a lawn-mowing accident and he was similarly always cracking morbid jokes about it. He talked about how it came in handy for reaching down a Pringles can to grab the last chip and convinced me that he had an advantage when we went bowling, haha.

Dribbble's one is really interesting, I also like Product Hunt's cute cats as well!

Since the topic is about interesting 404 illustrations, I'd like to point out to this great collection of royalty-free illustrations from Craftwork; webcurate.co/p/404-illustrations

I hope you'll find them useful! ๐Ÿ˜Š
