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 a 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. Clicking on the "Try Again" button will restart the toon.}
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!
- The second question in the fake page load error (Did you grandma?) could be a typo of either "Did your grandma?" or "Did you, grandma?", as either fit the pun, but have entirely diffrent meanings.
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, such as Not the 100th Email!!! and The System is Down.
- This toon, similar to Not the 100th Email!!!, uses the URL 'sbemail200', meaning that the real 200th email will have an irregular URL, like flashback's.
- 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.
- When you click on Try Again, it starts when Strong Sad appears (frame 25), not at the beginning of the toon (frame 12).
Inside References
- Strong Sad previously camped out in the email rated with the same tent and cooler.
- "Riggidy-wreck yourself" echoes Gunhaver's revisionist catchphrase "riggidy-roll" from An Important Rap Song.
Real-World References
- Sun Chips is a brand of chips produced by Frito-Lay.
- "Check your network connection,...self before you riggidy-wreck yourself" is a reference to the song "Check Yo Self" by rapper Ice Cube.
