At a previous company that focused on small-business finance, we had an error page that said something like "We couldn't process your request, but we're working on it! In the meantime, here's a video of a puppy." with a link to a Youtube video of a puppy.

PEOPLE HATED THE PUPPY.

"I can't process SALES, i'm losing MONEY and you want to give me a VIDEO of a PUPPY?"

We removed the puppy.
