The joke might have landed if the hotel name was Safari or Chrome.
We had a costume contest at work and the room voted for the guy who wrote “404 costume not found” with sharpie on a white T-shirt. People went full out cosplay, but the gen pop rewarded the slacker. Lost some faith that day
This site is glorious, thanks! XD
I would have gotten the joke, but probably not laughed.
We have a Highway 404 in Ontario. I’ve made a similar joke as OP couple of times and noone laughed once.
I laughed ❤️
How OP probably felt:
That’s why I prefer to hold meetings in room 200. That way everyone finds the room without even having to read the number.
Nah. Too cold in there.
That joke was 403

But I’m a teapot!
I have made this joke about atlanta area codes in phone numbers a few times, rarely lands.
I had this weird syncronisticity a few years back where at least once a week I’d look at the time it it’d be 4:04. I’d often say “404: Time not found” and literally nobody ever got it so I started just saying it in my head instead.
Not to be that annoying person. But it’s how our brains operate to look for patterns or repeatability. It’s not that you were magically catching the clock at 4:04 all the time. You just don’t remember when you looked at 3:10 on multiple days of the week because it wasn’t meaningful.
It’s like if you notice your friend has a new car. You suddenly start noticing other people driving that car in the exact same color. Like, suddenly everyone bought that car! It’s just your brain looking for meaning.
Ok. Sorry. I got my autism comment out. I’ll be gone.
my kind of autism
Start doing it with 418 and see if they understand that one?

C’mon buddy. You need to give these jokes a REST
Seriously. They really need an endpoint.
If it helps, it’s the only thing I think of wherever I encounter it, bus lines, taxi numbers, number plates, street numbers, you name it.
So, yeah, I think it’s funny.
This is like that scene in Step-Brothers, where they become best friends.
Those friends were probably in room 420
I refrained from using that joke with my wife as we walked to our hotel room 404 as I knew she wouldn’t get it and would think I was pathetic. 😄
I would have told her : https://xkcd.com/1053/
Lucky 10000 is a beautiful way to look at it.
Apparently, there is even a movie about this joke… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/404_(film)
