The screen is styled after a typical [[Interactive Menus|DVD menu]]. The Yello Dello stands silhouetted on a mountaintop, in front of the title "In Search of the Yello-Dello". Six menu options, in two columns of three on either side of the mountain, make up much of the page:

* '''[[In Search of the Yello Dello New Version|new version]]'''
* '''[[In Search of the Yello Dello Commentary|commentary]]'''
* '''[[In Search of the Yello Dello Theatrical Trailer|theatrical trailer]]'''
* '''[[In Search of the Yello Dello Storyboards|storyboards]]'''
* '''[[In Search of the Yello Dello Deleted Scenes|deleted scenes]]'''
* '''[[In Search of the Yello Dello Old Version|old version]]'''

Selecting the new version, commentary, trailer, or old version will redirect to the respective page; once it finishes playing, the browser automatically redirects back to the menu. "Deleted Scenes" opens a menu of three options to select, which then redirects the viewer to the page as before.

<span id="explanations"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Explanations </span> ===

* The way the music fades as it reaches the end of a loop (unlike most other loops on the site) mimics the looping music used on some early DVD menus where due to technical limitations the background music could not loop.

<span id="trivia"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Trivia </span> ===

* A "DVD version" of the Yello Dello toon was teased by [[Mike Chapman]] in [[l33t Interview|a 2001 interview]], approximately a week before it was posted to the site.

<span id="remarks"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Remarks </span> ===

* Onscreen [[Title Cards|title cards]] for both versions as well as this menu hyphenate "Yello-Dello". However, "Yello Dello" is not hyphenated in Toons menus (from the [[Lava Lamp Toons Menu]] through the [[TV Time Toons Menu|present]]), the current [[Page Titles|page titles]], or the [[Everything Else Vol. 2]] menu.

<span id="glitches"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Glitches </span> ===

* As of the [[Post-Flash Site Update|post-Flash site update]], the storyboard link does not function.

<span id="real-world-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Real-World References </span> ===

* The menu theme is similar to the music from ''[[Pitfall II: Lost Caverns]]''.

<span id="fast-forward"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Fast Forward </span> ===

* [[Matt Chapman]] would later joke [[The Best Decemberween Ever|in a 2006 DVD commentary]] that he was unlikely to reference "The Yello Dello" again.

<span id="everything-else-vol.-2-version"></span>
== <span class="mw-headline"> Everything Else Vol. 2 Version </span> ==

* Switch the audio in the Old Version to hear commentary from Mike and Matt Chapman and [[Y-O-U|Peter Olson]].
* The storyboard now has commentary.
* When played in "Play All", only the New Version is played.
* An Easter egg is added, featuring a fourth deleted scene. To access it, select the deleted scenes option and press right three times and click on the red Yello-Dello drawing.

''{Open to a blue background with Michael Stipe's face with a message reading "Deleted Scene #4; 'Yello Dello' featured Strong Sad's first spoken lines in a cartoon. This was the first stab at his voice: Matt's bad [[R.E.M.|Michael Stipe]] impression. So bad, in fact, that it was never to be heard again". Cut to Strong Sad in a scene from the new version of Yello Dello.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't know, Homestar. That looks... really dangerous.
