Notes

  • S1EP2 was the first episode to have a pre-intro error. They were used in every episode thereafter.
  • Kayla made her debut in S1EP2, being the series' first supporting character.
  • S1EP3 was the first episode to have error requests, and a comment question. Comment questions would remain a part of the series until ErrorGang.
  • Shy Girl (known as Amethyst in ErrorGang) made her debut in S1EP4.
  • The original cut of S1EP4 had an argument occur in the background, resulting in nearly half the episode's audio being replaced by yelling. A reupload was posted on the same day.
  • S1EP5 was the last episode to be created using GoAnimate, until a subsequent one came 7 years and many technological advances later. It was also the only episode in which someone actually answered the comment question.
  • S1EP5 is the highest rated episode to date.
  • S1EP6 was originally to be part of a reboot of the show, with Microsoft Sam intended to replace Eric as the series' main character.
  • S1EP6 is the only episode to not feature any of the IVONA characters.
  • S1EP6 marked the first appearances of Microsoft Sam, Mike, RoboSoft, and Radar Overseer Scotty. They would not appear again until ErrorGang.
  • The female whisper that was revealed to be Mary would appear again 3 years later in IVONA Eric's ErrorGang, used for Brooke.
  • S1EP6 was the only episode to be produced using VLC Media Player. Shortly after production finished, Gemaconda experienced problems on his Linux dual boot and returned to the Chromebook's default OS.
  • In March 2019, Gemaconda announced plans to create remastered versions of each episode. These episodes were to be presented in higher quality akin to their Season 3/ErrorGang contemporaries. The episodes began being uploaded on December 10 of that year, the 5th anniversary of the series. The remakes ended up being the Gemaconda channel's highlight of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • There were at least 7 more episodes planned for this season, to take it thru and past Summer 2015, and lead into a season 2 opening arc involving Eric and Apple. This did not happen, and in fact, the TheVideoKid782 channel entered crisis for the rest of 2015.

Season 2 (2016-2017)

The entirety of this season was produced using Powtoon.

  • S2EP1 was the last episode to be produced on the Acer c720 Chromebook that the series was originally produced on. From S2EP2 onwards, episodes were made on a HP Chromebook.
  • Starting with this season, TheVideoKid782 Productions was credited at the end of each episode.
  • Food Group Productions began being credited in S2EP2 as BatteryMill became increasingly involved in production.
  • Salli made her debut in S2EP2.
  • Microsoft Sam and Radar Overseer Scotty were mentioned in S2EP2, S2EP3 and S2EP7 but would not be seen again until ErrorGang.
  • Starting with this season, Bitstrips characters were used to represent the characters. however Eric has had his since IVONA Eric Fails at Tech Support.
  • In S2EP3, the theme song to the original Pokémon anime series was used as the theme song, due to the Pokemon Go craze at the time. A theme song credit to Ninantic (the copyright holders to the song) was seen in between closing logos.
  • S2EP3 was Vixen's only appearance to date in the series. It also marked the debut of Nalitta and Emillia.
  • S2EP3 was released as part of a Thanksgiving doubleheader across YouTube and Skype.
  • EDM musician Sonohara requested an error for S2EP3, but would later criticize the series.
  • S2EP4 was the first Gemaconda video to use the "TheVideoKid782 - Brevard County, FL" identification tag.
  • With 1 like and 3 dislikes as of December 17, 2018, S2EP5 is the lowest rated episode of the series.
  • At some point between the uploading of S2EP4 and production of S2EP5, IVONA removed their free voice demo, and NextUp TTS had removed Eric from their voice suite. However, fromtexttospeech.com had a voice suite for Eric listed as John. From S2EP5 onwards, Eric's voice has had quality.
  • While not officially confirmed by Gemaconda, an error in the series suggests that S2EP5 could have been the backdoor pilot to VoiceForge Shy Girl Reads Funny Windows Errors.
  • S2EP5 has the most outfit changes of any episode to date.
  • S2EP5 (the episode with Kayla and Shy Girl's revealing outfits) was the first to have Lucas Gloss request errors.
  • The voice used for Jen of the Angry Blue People in S2EP6 would be used 13 months later for Shy Girl in ErrorGang.
  • At the end of S2EP6, Steven refers to everyone as "Speakonia Mansion Gang". This is a foreshadowing to ErrorGang .
  • S2EP6 is the first time Shy Girl doesn't appear in an episode since her debut.
  • S2EP6 was the last episode to be made on PowToon's Flash suite.
  • S2EP7 is the first episode since S1EP1 not to have a pre-intro error.
  • As of December 18, 2018, S2EP7 has 22 views, making it the lowest viewed episode to date, and also one of the lowest rated Gemaconda videos to date. This may have to do with the fact that the episode was uploaded on Black Friday, as issues forced the episode out of Thanksgiving.
  • S2EP7 would subsequently go on to have 72 views, putting it in heavy competition with the lowest rated episodes of Season 3 and making it a viewership contender.
  • Eric's comment about starting a rapping career in S2EP7 is foreshadowing ErrorGang.
  • In S2EP7, the scene where Eric and Salli had a red substance thrown at them exists because of a PowToon glitch. Originally, the scene was supposed to be Eric and Salli talking, then the Thanksgiving Turkey thrown at them by Kayla, but PowToon glitched the turkey by inverting it red.
  • The music that is heard throughout S2EP8 (including the theme song) is Unused Sound Test #10, the scrapped Hidden Palace Zone theme from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
  • S2EP8 is the first episode where Eric reads all of the errors since S1EP2.
  • An error in S2EP8 seems to suggest that Shy Girl is naked in the episode, but in her scene, she has clothes on.
  • The last four errors of S2EP8 directly predicted ErrorGang, though they are not official plot devices.
  • S2EP8 was the last episode of several things: The last episode to be produced in PowToon, the last episode to have a comment question, the last episode of Shy Girl keeping her original name. It was also the only S2EP8 episode of the post-Lucas era.
  • S2EP8 was Salli's first non-speaking role since her debut.
  • S2EP8 was the last episode of the original IVONA Eric Reads Funny Windows Errors series.
  • According to chat logs from a Discord server found in October 2020, a S2EP7 was being worked on as part of the second doubleheader in series history in September 2017, announced just after S2EP6. This episode was to have a non-Thanksgiving-related plot.
  • On the old wiki, Gemaconda stated on March 24, 2016 that season 2's subtitle was "Eric Returns, Apple Follows." This seems to show proof that an Apple army was supposed to have a large role this season. It did not happen.

  • At some point this season, it's expected that everyone who's voice is changed have their voice return to normal.
  • According to a message from Gemaconda in "Cleanup on Aisle 10", some of the Angry Blue People aren't actually blue. This was because of there being a lack of blue AIM logos. This design flaw was eventually rectified by BatteryMill, who's new Angry Blue People designs are scheduled to appear in future episodes.
  • This is the first season to have an episode shift, which directly altered the canon timeline. "Battle of the Band" was originally to be the fourth episode of the season, but due to BatteryMil lacking ideas beyond the sneak peak previews, it traded the sixth episode slot with "Earthquake!". The former episode was also originally called "The ErrorGang Become Rappers".
  • On May 22, 2019, midway through the production of S3EP4, fromtexttospeech.com, the home of Eric, Amethyst, and Salli's voices went down. The site was later restored.
  • The aforementioned incident is a repeat of an error that occured during the production of Season 2.
  • On March 27, 2019, Malay rapper TOWAGA released a song called "ERRORGANG", likely inspired by the series. This is probably unlikely, though.

  • This episode is the series finale. While a continuation of the series has not been 100% ruled out, this is to be the final episode of the series unless demand calls for a Season 4 order (which it won't). It's Sapphire Entertainment, what did you expect?
  • This is the only episode to be produced in the JP Corporation ownership era of NancerMedia/Sapphire Entertainment, and eventually under Phantom Studios (which itself rebranded as Petabyte Corporation in Sep 2021) as writing continued in May 2021. IVONA Eric has been produced under four different ownerships for three consecutive episodes.
  • This is the final ErrorGang content produced under the Sapphire Entertainment name.
  • This episode includes references to "Death's Blue Screen", "IVONA Eric's EmoGang", and the original Season 1.
  • This episode was delayed past uploaded on June 18, 2021 due to SE's community honoring the death of a community member's mother. It was then delayed past many upload dates including December 2021.
  • This will be the NSA's first involvement with Eric since 2014.
  • This episode marks Warren Cook and Gree Guy's debuts in the series.
  • A longstanding character death mystery was revealed.
  • This episode will subtly clarify Akeira's gender identity, the first time in the history of the TTS Community that gender is confronted.
  • The last episode of the series to have error requests.
  • There have been consistent delays and problems with this episode, both in and out of real life.
  • Until May 29, 2022, there was 8 minutes and 50 seconds of this episode produced and in order. KineMaster updated to KineMaster 6, which officially converted the app to an account system and seems to model itself after TikTok in some areas. Additionally, all 39 projects Gemaconda had in KineMaster were deleted for good as a result, officially setting episode production back nearly a year. However, in late July 2022, Kinemaster 6 was utilized for a scene on his tablet.
  • BatteryMill experienced issues with Wrapper during the making of this episode.
  • This episode will be uploaded in a series of parts. Originally, this episode was gonna be uploaded on random dates as parts, but BatteryMill was against the idea. It did not happen.
  • This episode was the first YouTube premiere in TheVideoKid782/Sapphire/Gemaconda history.
  • During the premiere of this episode, a major incident went down in live chat involving a contributor to the show, and a controversially charged employee of the company that owns IVONA Eric's ErrorGang. There were mutliple attempts to stop all further premieres of the episode, but it resulted in more than half the finale premiering during a war. This has led to calls for a second premiere attempt.
  • The aforementioned incident pretty much also nullified any chances at this show being called for a season 4 for good.
  • This was the final appearance of all characters and locations, dating back to December 10, 2014 in that GoAnimate window.
  • The second part was completed on August 9, 2022 and the third on August 11, 2022.
  • The very first Episode 12 voice recording (despite preview lines being heard on December 22, 2020), was downloaded on August 16, 2021. The wave ended on August 18. From there, the first major recording wave occured from January 31-February 2, 2022. Recording then happened on February 13. Problems came and went, and the next recording wave happened on March 2-12, 2022, which resulted in a completed 8 minute episode.
  • Recording resumed on July 15, 2022 and was fully completed August 7, 2022.

Funny Signs (2019-2021)

On May 11, 2019, Gemaconda sent a ping on Discord opening requests for the series. On May 22, a second proposition for production was featured, with the episode ultimately being uploaded on June 4, 2019. Four subsequent episodes were produced, with the fifth episode serving as the series finale and featuring a scripted format similar to that of ErrorGang's third season.

A unique feature about the show is every episode reaching 100 views in less than 3 years, a stark contrast to the original show. Episode 1 also has 71% of the viewership Episode 1 of the error show has, despite the error show being up for a whole 5 years before Funny Signs was even thought of. Likewise, Episode 2 has 85% of FWE's S1EP2 views.
