  • "All your 404 are belong to us!" — Variant of "All your base are belong to us," a mangled "engrish" phrase from the game Zero Wing.
  • "I see dead pages!" — From the line "I see dead people" in The Sixth Sense.
  • "But why is the page gone?" — References quote from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl by Captain Jack Sparrow ("But why is the rum gone?"). It appears on a 404 page with a Pirate Meerca.

  • "Sir, the possibility of this page being broken is 3,720 to 1!" — Reference to a quote from Star Wars (regarding the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field).
  • "Sarah, go back to your room. Play with your toys. Forget about the 404." — References line from the movie Labyrinth: "Sarah, go back to your room. Play with your toys and your costumes. Forget about the baby."
  • "We'll just nuke this 404 from orbit. It's the only way to be sure..." — Reference to the movie Aliens.: "I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

  • "I find your lack of page disturbing..." — Said by Dr. Frank Sloth, in reference to Darth Vader in Star Wars: "I find your lack of faith disturbing..."
  • "This is an ex-page, it has shuffled off its mortal coil..." A reference to the Monty Python skit, "Dead Parrot": "This is an ex-parrot, it has shuffled off its mortal coil."
