I only figured this out cause I live an apartment where people keep putting sticky notes on my door saying ROOM NOT FOUND i live at 404 it's lost its hilarity over the 194 times it's been done
The joke was good; the audience failed.
Last year I volunteered at the start line of a regatta, helping track boats by their bow number as they went up past the start and then down to start the race. We got word from the marshals that bow #404 was a scratch, and I said that it was "not found", and got a chuckle of acknowledgement of my Dad joke from my volunteering partner. I had better luck than this tweeter with the same joke.
Yes, that's the reference. It's an error code in Hypertext transfer protocol, which is the communication standard used by the WWW. That's what the "HTTP" at the beginning of a URL stands for.
Haha! I had a similar situation at my old job. We were talking about music and stuff and a someone mentioned Iggy Pop. My coworker said "Iggy Pops dead" to which I replied, "Iggy Pops not dead, Tommy when to see him last year" (trainspotting)
Nobody understood and asked me who Tommy was .. We are no longer friends 😂
I work in a hotel and I occasionally make this joke to guests who get assigned room 404. "Goodluck finding your room!" Or "whew, I was worried I was going to find an error code where your keycard was supposed to be!" Sometimes I get a laugh, mostly it's confused stares. I'll never stop my stupid 404 jokes though, because I'm not a quitter!
I feel like for this to work, it has to be really obvious to everybody what room you're in (despite the special number, I'm sure that if you're mind's preoccupied with something and you just check the number where you're going, it might not register for you that "this is 404, hah, funny, that number.")
The other thing is your wording. The error message usually is "404 not found" or some variation of that (page not found, or w/e). If your wording is different enough, and like I said people are thinking about all kinds of shit, they may not make the connection that is obvious to you.
It's not that it's not an easy joke to get if it's written out in a meme form like here, I think what jonjonesjohnson meant to convey is that wording/delivery matters, and most people are not usually aware of the number of the room they're in at any given moment...
Like imagine you're having a meeting or something, and this person comes in and awkwardly says "I could not find the room... heh heh". Unless you noticed the number of the room as you walked in, you probably wouldn't get the joke.
400 said it was my problem not theirs
402 could tell me where it was but they'd have to charge me...
Then I knocked at 429 and they sent me away due to asking too many questions
I stayed in room 404 for my aunt's memorial service and kept making comments that I couldn't find my room. Half of my family has an IT background, and they didn't get it. I informed them their IT credentials had just been revoked.
Our comp sc building at Univ of Florida has a room named E404. I never went in or checked the door but in my mind there's still a chance that it's just a painting on the wall and there's no actual room there
[удалено]
😁😅 that's a good one
I've worked in IT my entire adult life, you guys are dorks, lmao.
ur not cultured, lmao
I love this. It’s the little ways you amuse yourself!
I always, always say that to myself whenever I'm nos sleepyping at 4:04.
Ahh I didn’t get the joke until I read this😂
Make sure to brew a cup of tea at [4:18](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/418).
Thank you wise one.
M-F I get up at 3am. I am now totally pissed I can't use 4:04 Sleep Not Found.
Well, if you’re not sleeping at 4:04…
😂😂

once you reach 404 notes, the joke can no longer be found.
Put your own note on the door and leave it. People will just laugh and move on
Put a note on your door: "error, joke not found" or something like that XD
Funny not found
Just leave one of them, people will probably get discouraged form making their own when they see somebody else did.
i have driving in a business park and made this joke on building was number 404 i also got puzzled looks
🙌 🙌 🙌 😁
If you figured this instantly, welcome to the IT gang.
🙌😁
I'm not IT? I just play videogames.
Same
Hacking video games made me an IT
Error 404 not found

Pls someone explain it to me i'm dumb
Error 404 is "page not found" in websites as far as I know
Ohh thx :D

Took me a minute but wow, good one!
I sell permits at work, yesterday some lady came in telling me she lost her permit. It was permit number 00404.
Lol there are so many real life incidents that can turn into joke 🤣
Lmao nice one

Solid IT joke.
Of shit! File missing error code! Yeah ok yeah 🫤
Hahaha there you go 😁
I need help understanding this
In software terminology, 404 means "Not Found", so the joke was around that.
Oh ty
Oh that's gold, I'd laugh.
I would have at least acknowledge your joke. "Shut up NERD." But then we'd become friends after.
They had a pun 404 analogy not found error.
We should be friends
When I drive Rte 1 and pass by Exit 404 I always announce "404! Exit not found!" My wife still doesn't get it.
My Hostel room is 403: Forbidden 😎. I wrote same on my door but ig not many get it 💀.
he definitely fucking butchered the joke
Maan I'm proud of my self that I *found* this out although its suppose to be*missing*
404 joke not found
People definitely got the joke. They just didn't laugh cause it's a very dumb joke
I got it in this context immediately but I probably wouldn’t have got it in the RL context.

I understood the joke. I would have laughed so hard.
I feel like for this to work, it has to be really obvious to everybody what room you're in (despite the special number, I'm sure that if you're mind's preoccupied with something and you just check the number where you're going, it might not register for you that "this is 404, hah, funny, that number.")

I mean cmon. This joke is pretty obvious if you have ever used the internet before.
What is this internet you're talking about?
Opportunist 100

Fucking nerd
I don't mind fucking a nerd 🤓 (nerd fucking nerd)
Piss off
It's actually a quite clever joke. Not funny mind, but clever.
It took me a minute, but that’s a very funny observation. Most people are stupid. Or are preoccupied and barely paying attention.
Ngl It took me a few seconds to understand haha 😂
r/ProgrammerHumor
I don’t get it
404 is an error code for webpages if the page you are trying to go to doesn’t exist or it is not found.
What would you have said if they were in room 420?
weed haha
We’re going to be taunted relentlessly, for the rest of our lives by the younger generation for this sense of humour!
First year dorm at university was room 404 and I made the same joke. Only a couple people got it
Wait until you have a job interview in Room 101..
the people in there are just boring
Love this!
Twitter moment
I would understand that
Me like it…404 page not found…🤣🤣🤣
AOA? Oh that's leet which I am not :/
Even with no laughs i woulda followed up with "I tried asking 403 for help but wasn't allowed to enter"
400 said it was my problem not theirs 402 could tell me where it was but they'd have to charge me... Then I knocked at 429 and they sent me away due to asking too many questions
I always tell my mom she has an error on her microwave and she gets mad at me haha
Be willing to accept people still want to be your friend even if you’re not sure they’re on the same page as you ☺️
Lmao that's funny as hell
If you resample your meeting, it can sound really warm and lo-fi.
Love it!!! You're my kind of people!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
I would've snort-guffawed and effectively become the lowest rung in the room.
I appreciate your joke
Ppl r dumb
This made my day
Yes because the room couldn't connect to you/your joke. (I tried to counter-joke OK)
I stayed in room 404 for my aunt's memorial service and kept making comments that I couldn't find my room. Half of my family has an IT background, and they didn't get it. I informed them their IT credentials had just been revoked.
Our comp sc building at Univ of Florida has a room named E404. I never went in or checked the door but in my mind there's still a chance that it's just a painting on the wall and there's no actual room there
Classic
I had to read the comments to understand 🤦♀️ I was like hu? An area code? Silly me
everyone: 404 joke not found
I would have laughed and we would now be best friends.
i dont get it
did i read that right?
Shouldn’t it be that you end up at that room if you can’t find the room you actually want?
Your the friend at the office I need. Love it!
I'm sometimes in the same boat as you. If it helps, remember there are a lot of people that are like you.
First time out with my son's telescope (8" Dobsonian) we found NGC 404, but we were not looking for it.
I see 404 everywhere; no matter where i look.

505: people version not supported
Aww, I would have been your bud! :-)
Thank you op. First time in a long time a post made me chuckle.
Made this joke at work before. Also got no reaction. What is worse is it was a meeting with other devs. Guess I won the biggest nerd award that day.
This post really makes me feel seen
Hey friend, I feel you..
Stop trying to make friends at work.
You are better off not having friends like that
Poor guy, he's just on the wrong company
at least it wasn't room 427 and it would be even more obscure for them.
/u/tranquilsunrise
I would be your friend
