Transcript

{The scene starts out on a screen that resembles the "Address Not Found" screen of Mozilla Firefox. Strong Sad appears from the bottom of the frame, wearing his Deleteheads hat.}

STRONG SAD: {wags his finger} Oh, no you don't! The Deleteheads started—

{The scene shifts to the right, revealing Strong Mad and The Cheat in their Deleteheads hats standing next to a tent and an ice chest.}

STRONG SAD: —camping out for sbemail 200 weeks ago! {points with his thumb over his shoulder} Back of the line!

{The scene shifts further right, revealing that they are the only ones there. A tumbleweed rolls behind them.}

STRONG SAD: {off-screen} But there's really no one else here yet, so {reappears from the bottom of the frame} you can get right behind us. We're gonna play "Name That Inconsistency" later on if you want to join us.

{Strong Sad gets right in the viewer's face, causing Strong Mad and The Cheat to jump.}

STRONG SAD: {angrily} Don't even think about eating any of our Sun Chips! I packed those special!

{The scene shifts back to its original position.}

Fun Facts

Trivia

• The fake page load error reads:

Address Not Found

The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.

• Did you make a mistake when typing the domain? Did you grandma?
• Are you certain this domain name exists? Its registration may have expired.
• Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network connection, DNS
  server settings, and self before you riggidy-wreck yourself.
  
• Is your computer protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings
  can interfere with Web browsing. Quit touching my stuff!

Remarks

• Homsar and the Cinder Block are not with the rest of the Deleteheads.
• This is the first fake error page to use the Firefox error page. Previous ones have used the Internet Explorer 6 error page.
• This toon, similar to Not the 100th Email!!!, used the URL "sbemail200" on the Flash website, while the real 200th email has an irregular URL like flashback's. The 200th email's URL was "sbemailtwohundred".
  • This is no longer the case as of the Ruffle update, with email thunder now occupying the numerical URL for consistency. As a result, this toon can not be found on the new site.
• Strong Sad claims to have been camping out for weeks, but on the Monday before this toon could be found, the short Place ya Bets! had them betting on sbemail 200 in their normal meeting place.
• "Name That Inconsistency" would have plenty of material to draw from.

Inside References

• Strong Sad previously camped out in the email rated with the same tent and cooler.
• A tumbleweed rolls past the campsite.
• "Riggidy-wreck yourself" echoes Gunhaver's revisionist catchphrase "riggidy-roll" from An Important Rap Song.
• This entire short is a fourth wall break.

Real-World References

• Sun Chips is a brand of chips produced by Frito-Lay.
• "Check your network connection, DNS server settings, and self before you riggidy-wreck yourself" is a reference to the song "Check Yo Self" by rapper Ice Cube.
