* TalkingToHimself: Derrick and 3 other sysadmins in the fourth episode are voiced by Josh Weinberg. The voices are pitch-shifted and accelerated/decelerated to sound distinctly different.

The latter is odd, since the first episode used real Skype. Most other software and websites are real.

'''The Website Is Down''' is a rarely updated web series of videos that feature the System Administrator, Derrick, and a Sales Associate, Chip, at a fictional company named Plastroltech. The videos feature a combination of Derrick dealing with the tech problems that pop up at Plastroltech in the laziest manner possible, and Chip often creating those problems by being the computer user from every IT Tech Support's nightmares.

* CapsLockNumLockMissilesLock: In the single sign-on server at Plastroltech, there are four buttons on the bottom right. 'Okay', 'Cancel', 'Clear' and 'Apply'. Right above these four buttons is a massive 'Recompute Base Encryption Hash' button. If you click on this, you get a single confirmation window, and if you select 'OK' there you start an extremely long process that can't be cancelled and ends with every single password in the entire company getting reset, which can only be fixed by someone manually re-resetting them at every box. This is the virtual equivalent of putting the company restroom at the end of a thousand-foot long tightrope positioned over a ten thousand foot drop.

* OrphanedSeries: The last video was made in 2011. More were promised to come soon, but haven't appeared yet (as of June 2016). The website spent years slowly deteriorating (for example, the old blog domain expired around 2011). In 2014 Joshua Weinberg [[http://thewebsiteisdown.com/twidblog/page-one/ announced]] (in a new blog) that the series will continue as an Adventure Game. As of summer 2016 he was still busy [[http://thewebsiteisdown.com/twidblog/adventure-game-research-procrastination-epic/ playing and analyzing]] the classic adventure games in his blog. That includes a [[http://thewebsiteisdown.com/twidblog/day-of-the-tentacle-dependency-graph/ thorough]] [[http://thewebsiteisdown.com/twidblog/puzzle-dependency-graph-primer/ analysis]] [[http://thewebsiteisdown.com/twidblog/day-of-the-tentacle-puzzle-by-puzzle/ of puzzle graph]] of ''VideoGame/DayOfTheTentacle''. [[http://thewebsiteisdown.com/twidblog/apple-e-sounds/ Work on the actual game]] seems to have started in January 2016.
