{{Quote|Ever been so wide awake?|K-fee's iconic advertising campaign}}

In April 2004, the German beverage company [[wikipedia:Jump scare#In advertising|'''K-fee''']] released nine 20-second-long television commercials as part of their ''Wide Awake'' campaign to advertise their coffee drink. These commercials have been heavily criticized for their content and many feel that the adverts are very unprofessional and upsetting. However, their shocking nature is designed to simulate the effect that the product has on the viewer.

The commercials consist of peaceful scenes, such as a car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. However, at some point in the ad, the scene gets briefly interrupted by either a zombie or a gargoyle screaming at the camera, followed by the company's advertising campaign and the product, accompanied by a fast heartbeat.

K-fee received a lot of complaints from their viewers, and soon after that, the ads stopped being aired on television. Some people say that on some other occasions, a warning message was displayed before the advert played, informing any young children, easily scared individuals, and people with heart or certain health conditions to not view the footage. However, this is unproven.

An episode of ''[[Wikipedia:The Tonight Show with Jay Leno|The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'', aired in April 2005, featured a segment where the audience and [[wikipedia:Jay Leno|Jay]] reacted to K-fee's ''Car'' commercial. It was hosted on K-fee's official website from 2004 to 2007 along with the other adverts. The K-fee ''Car'' commercial was also featured in 2005 on ''[[wikipedia:...on Television|Tarrant on TV]]'', a famous British show, as well as on ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]''.

On January 29th, 2021, Rhys Lapsley (Wollstone Studios, Rhys Productions 11 on this wiki) uploaded a [[Screamer Wiki:K-Fee : The Infamous Commercials Documentary|one-hour documentary video]] featuring the actors from the commercials as well as several others involved in their production.
== The commercials ==
Each commercial had both German and English versions, with the captions at the end in the respective language. There was also either a zombie or a gargoyle at the end of each advert. The zombie was played by American actor Brad Johnson, and the gargoyle was played by his brother, Adam Johnson. These ads were first aired on television on April 30th, 2005. [[File:K-fee_zombie.jpg|thumb|250px|The K-fee zombie actor, Brad Johnson]]

== Commercials featuring the zombie ==
=== Car (Auto in German) ===
The commercial begins with a relaxing scene of a white car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. When the car passes behind a large tree, the camera follows. Once it pans off the tree, the car is gone. Then, a zombie suddenly pops into the scene very briefly accompanied by a frightening scream, scaring the viewer. This commercial is more commonly known as ''Ghost Car, Spooky Car'' or ''Scary Car Commercial''. The commercial was filmed at [https://goo.gl/maps/kB7FZJDSDA3cBSCx7 36°46'09.3"N 119°15'21.9"W], which is located near Kings Canyon Joint Unified, California.<ref>https://twitter.com/georainbolt/status/1613692024770727936</ref>
=== Fishing (Angler in German) ===
This shows a man fishing in a lake, and not long afterward the zombie appears, surprisingly not looking directly into the camera as it screams.
=== Yoga ===
This shows a person practicing yoga on a cliff, and as soon as the person lifts their hand, the zombie seemingly appears out of nowhere, screaming. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Fishing/Angler ad, but the dark obscures its face.) This commercial was likely filmed at [[Wikipedia:Joshua Tree National Park|Joshua Tree National Park]]<ref>34° 00′ 58.18″ N, 116° 09′ 34.27″ W</ref>.
=== Meadow (Wiese in German) ===
The video starts with a field of wildflowers and a pollinating bee. It then cuts to a meadow with some bicycles leaning against a large tree, and the camera stops moving at a certain point. The zombie, not long afterward, shows up from the left side of the screen and screams.
=== Surfing ===
This is a far away view of a person on a beach going to the ocean to go surfing. Then the zombie appears from the right side of the screen and screams. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Car/Auto ad, but it's zoomed in. It isn’t as blurry as in Car/Auto. The Zombie’s chroma key here has an extra frame though.) This commercial is also known as Beach 3, or Surfer.

[[File:K-fee_gargoyle.jpg|thumb|250px|The K-fee gargoyle actor, Adam Johnson]]

== Commercials featuring the gargoyle ==
=== Beach (Strand in German) ===
This depicts two lovers on a beach about to kiss, and just as they do, the gargoyle jumps up screaming from the bottom of the screen, blocking the view, with blood dripping from its mouth. K-fee Beach was filmed at Point Dume State Beach.
=== Boardwalk (Weg in German) ===
This shows a relaxing scene of a boardwalk near a beach, with a jogger in the distance who can be heard breathing, and soon stops to take a break and look at the beach. The camera then pans to the beach as well, and shortly after it stops moving, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This commercial is also known as ''Beach 2''. This commercial was filmed at Moonstone Beach Boardwalk in Cambria, CA.
=== Buddha ===
This depicts a woman sitting in a garden, meditating near a Buddha statue. The camera briefly cuts to the statue and then to the woman, and when it moves away to its original view, the gargoyle jumps up screaming. Its face is so close to the camera that it is out of focus.
=== Golf ===
A man is shown golfing from far away. Eventually, a faint putting sound is heard, and shortly afterward, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This is the only spot that does not include any background music.

==K-fee radio advertisements==
In December 2004, K-fee released four radio advertisements: ''Investment'', ''Love'', ''Relaxation'' and ''Christmas''. The ads were available in English and German.

=== Investment ===
* '''''English version '''(0:29)'': The ad starts with a man saying the following: "Would you like to know how to make more of your money? Then, listen carefully. We've got an investment tip for you that promises top returns. This investment will guarantee you a worry-free life and allow you to fulfill cherished dreams. All with a monthly payment starting from just 20 euros. All you have to do..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:26)'': "Möchten Sie wissen, wie Sie mehr aus Ihrem Geld machen? Dann hören Sie jetzt gut zu. Wir haben für Sie einen Anlagetipp mit einer Top-Rendite. Diese Anlage garantiert Ihnen ein sorgenfreies Leben. Und erlaubt es Ihnen, lang gehegte Wünsche zu erfüllen. Und das bereits ab einer monatlichen Einzahlung von nur 20 Euro. Sie müssen einfach nur..."

=== Love ===
* '''''English version '''(0:33)'': The ad starts with lullaby music and a young girl's voice saying, "Mummy mummy, how much do you love me?" Then, a woman's voice says: "I love you from here to the moon." "How far is that?" "Hm. It's so far." "Is that so much?" "Yes, my love. I love you so much. Now close your eyes sweetie, and listen while I read you a story. Once upon a time, there was a little doormouse called Piff. One day, it went..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:37)'': Kind: "Mama, Mama, wie lieb hast du mich?" Mama: "Ich hab dich von hier bis zum Mond lieb!" Kind: "Wie weit ist denn das?" Mama: "Das ist sooooo weit." Kind: "Ist das soooo doll?" Mama: "Ja, mein Süßes. Soooo doll lieb hab ich dich. Und jetzt macht mein kleines Krümelchen mal die Augen zu und hört schön hin, denn jetzt les ich dir noch eine kleine Geschichte vor… Es war einmal eine kleine Haselmaus namens Piff. Eines Morgens…"

=== Relaxation ===
* '''''English version''' (0:49)'': The ad starts with the same music used in the K-fee Buddha commercial. Then, a soft-spoken woman's voice said the following: "And now, an exercise to help you relax. Make yourself comfortable. Close your eyes. Breathe in deeply through your nose. Keep your mouth shut. Feel that deep breath go down to your tummy. In, and out. And in, and out. And in, and out. And in, and..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."

* '''''German version '''(0:38)'': "Zu Ihrer Entspannung nun eine Übung. Machen Sie es sich bequem. Schließen Sie die Augen, atmen Sie durch die Nase tief ein. Der Mund bleibt dabei geschlossen. Atmen Sie tief in den Unterbauch. Ein, und aus. Und ein, und aus. Und ein, und…"

=== Christmas ===
* '''''English version''''' ''(0:51)'': The ad starts with the sound of a clock ticking. Then, a Santa Claus voice says the following: "Ah, Christmas time again at last. And we all have such wonderful childhood memories. Pretty little crooked houses, with chimneys puffing out trails of smoke. Ha, yes. And the icicles glistening in the moonlight all around. The snow crunches softly under our feet, and when we come into the cozy warmth of our houses, the smell of delicious baked apples and freshly baked mince pies, and oh how excited we are when we finally, finally hear the sound signaling the arrival of Christmas..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other K-fee commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (1:02)'': "Aaaaach, endlich ist wieder Weihnachtszeit und wir haben wieder all die schönen Erinnerungen an unsere Kindheit im Kopf. Die hübschen windschiefen Häuselein, aus deren Schornsteinen sich kleine Rauchfähnchen kräuseln. Ach, und die Eiszapfen allüberall, die im Mondenschein glitzern. Leise knirscht der Schnee unter unseren Sohlen, und wenn wir die behagliche Wärme unserer Häuslein betreten, dann duftet es schon nach Bratäpfelchen und frischgebackenen Rosinenmännlein. Hei, wie aufgeregt wir werden, wenn wir dann endlich, endlich am heiligen Abend das Signal zur Bescherung hören."

== K-fee light-version advertisements ==
In December 2005, K-fee released new commercials for their line of Latte Macchiato drinks that parodied their prank flash-style commercials. Using the footage from three of K-fee's most popular commercials (Auto, Beach, and Golf), the company replaced the zombie or gargoyle at the end of the ad with a man (for the zombie) or teddy bear (for the gargoyle) or demon-masked face (for the "upside-down" gargoyle), followed by the text "Jetzt auch mit weniger Koffein." (translated to English as "Now With Less Caffeine") or in the English version, "Now, without so much caffeine." and a picture of a Latte Macchiato Classic or Latte Macchiato Vanilla bottle. The Latte Macchiato commercials were made in English and German and used the same soundtracks from the original versions but higher-pitched. These ads were first aired on television on December 27th, 2005.
* '''Auto ''(Light)''''': A man in a light polo shirt appears from the bottom instead of the zombie and softly says “Boo!” in an effeminate, almost teasing voice. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Beach ''(Light)''''': A smiling teddy bear (possibly a hand puppet) appears instead of the gargoyle and giggles. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Golf ''(Light)''''': The demon-masked face appears (but zoomed in) and roars. (he can already be seen clumsily attempting to hide at the bottom of the screen before he rises.) More birds are chirping in background than in the original version. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Vanilla.

== K-fee magazine advertisements ==
Between December 2006 and February 2009, K-fee released multiple picture-based advertisements in magazines presumably in Germany. Little is known about these advertisements, such as what magazines they appeared in.

== Awards ==
K-fee has won two awards for its advertisements.

== Parodies ==
On the Internet, an alternate ending shows, instead of the product and the slogan, the text: "'''Now...Go Change Your Shorts And Get Back To Work!'''" in Arial Black instead of the normal ending; the video has gained over 24 million views as of 2025.<ref>'''youtube.com/watch?v=HqGsT6VM8Vg''' - version with alternate text.</ref> Other manifestations of this ad include being sent as part of a chain mail which supposedly depicts a ghost appearing during the filming of a television ad (sometimes from Great Britain); the viewer is instructed to follow the car closely, as a "mist" is supposed to appear next to the car at some point. The "mist", of course, never does appear, and the commercial plays out as described above, much to the chagrin of the viewer.

A picture of the famous road from the commercials is one of the possible [[Wikipedia:404 error|404 error]] images given on [[Screamer Wiki]].

=== The Amazing World of Gumball ===
In the British-American Cartoon Network animated series ''[[wikipedia:The Amazing World of Gumball|The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' ([[wikipedia:The Amazing World of Gumball (season 2)|season 2]]) episode named "The Internet", parodies the K-fee commercials. In one scene, Gumball and Darwin appear randomly browsing Elmore Stream-It while watching videos. Among these videos, they come across what is implied to be the K-fee Auto ad.<ref>https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00DI3AZDI/ref=atv_dp#btf-product-details The Internet episode.</ref>

Gumball reacts to the video on the website, commenting on the white car driving through the hills and staring closely at the screen, when suddenly the loud scream is heard, causing him to have an intense reaction which gets recorded and posted to the web. The rest of the episode involves Gumball trying to get the video removed, which has given him unwanted fame.<ref>The Amazing World of Gumball, Gumball | Uploading An Embarrassing Video | The Internet | Cartoon Network, retrieved 2018-12-26 https://youtu.be/jjq_LkeTuyE?t=19s</ref>

== The commercials ==
Each commercial had both German and English versions, with the captions at the end in the respective language. There was also either a zombie or a gargoyle at the end of each advert. The zombie was played by American actor Brad Johnson, and the gargoyle was played by his brother, Adam Johnson. These ads were first aired on television on April 30th, 2005. [[File:K-fee_zombie.jpg|thumb|250px|The K-fee zombie actor, Brad Johnson]]

== Commercials featuring the zombie ==
=== Car (Auto in German) ===
The commercial begins with a relaxing scene of a white car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. When the car passes behind a large tree, the camera follows. Once it pans off the tree, the car is gone. Then, a zombie suddenly pops into the scene very briefly accompanied by a frightening scream, scaring the viewer. This commercial is more commonly known as ''Ghost Car, Spooky Car'' or ''Scary Car Commercial''. The commercial was filmed at [https://goo.gl/maps/kB7FZJDSDA3cBSCx7 36°46'09.3"N 119°15'21.9"W], which is located near Kings Canyon Joint Unified, California.<ref>https://twitter.com/georainbolt/status/1613692024770727936</ref>
=== Fishing (Angler in German) ===
This shows a man fishing in a lake, and not long afterward the zombie appears, surprisingly not looking directly into the camera as it screams.
=== Yoga ===
This shows a person practicing yoga on a cliff, and as soon as the person lifts their hand, the zombie seemingly appears out of nowhere, screaming. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Fishing/Angler ad, but the dark obscures its face.) This commercial was likely filmed at [[Wikipedia:Joshua Tree National Park|Joshua Tree National Park]]<ref>34° 00′ 58.18″ N, 116° 09′ 34.27″ W</ref>.
=== Meadow (Wiese in German) ===
The video starts with a field of wildflowers and a pollinating bee. It then cuts to a meadow with some bicycles leaning against a large tree, and the camera stops moving at a certain point. The zombie, not long afterward, shows up from the left side of the screen and screams.
=== Surfing ===
This is a far away view of a person on a beach going to the ocean to go surfing. Then the zombie appears from the right side of the screen and screams. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Car/Auto ad, but it's zoomed in. It isn’t as blurry as in Car/Auto. The Zombie’s chroma key here has an extra frame though.) This commercial is also known as Beach 3, or Surfer.

== Commercials featuring the gargoyle ==
=== Beach (Strand in German) ===
This depicts two lovers on a beach about to kiss, and just as they do, the gargoyle jumps up screaming from the bottom of the screen, blocking the view, with blood dripping from its mouth. K-fee Beach was filmed at Point Dume State Beach.
=== Boardwalk (Weg in German) ===
This shows a relaxing scene of a boardwalk near a beach, with a jogger in the distance who can be heard breathing, and soon stops to take a break and look at the beach. The camera then pans to the beach as well, and shortly after it stops moving, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This commercial is also known as ''Beach 2''. This commercial was filmed at Moonstone Beach Boardwalk in Cambria, CA.
=== Buddha ===
This depicts a woman sitting in a garden, meditating near a Buddha statue. The camera briefly cuts to the statue and then to the woman, and when it moves away to its original view, the gargoyle jumps up screaming. Its face is so close to the camera that it is out of focus.
=== Golf ===
A man is shown golfing from far away. Eventually, a faint putting sound is heard, and shortly afterward, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This is the only spot that does not include any background music.

==K-fee radio advertisements==
In December 2004, K-fee released four radio advertisements: ''Investment'', ''Love'', ''Relaxation'' and ''Christmas''. The ads were available in English and German.

=== Investment ===
* '''''English version '''(0:29)'': The ad starts with a man saying the following: "Would you like to know how to make more of your money? Then, listen carefully. We've got an investment tip for you that promises top returns. This investment will guarantee you a worry-free life and allow you to fulfill cherished dreams. All with a monthly payment starting from just 20 euros. All you have to do..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:26)'': "Möchten Sie wissen, wie Sie mehr aus Ihrem Geld machen? Dann hören Sie jetzt gut zu. Wir haben für Sie einen Anlagetipp mit einer Top-Rendite. Diese Anlage garantiert Ihnen ein sorgenfreies Leben. Und erlaubt es Ihnen, lang gehegte Wünsche zu erfüllen. Und das bereits ab einer monatlichen Einzahlung von nur 20 Euro. Sie müssen einfach nur..."

=== Love ===
* '''''English version '''(0:33)'': The ad starts with lullaby music and a young girl's voice saying, "Mummy mummy, how much do you love me?" Then, a woman's voice says: "I love you from here to the moon." "How far is that?" "Hm. It's so far." "Is that so much?" "Yes, my love. I love you so much. Now close your eyes sweetie, and listen while I read you a story. Once upon a time, there was a little doormouse called Piff. One day, it went..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:37)'': Kind: "Mama, Mama, wie lieb hast du mich?" Mama: "Ich hab dich von hier bis zum Mond lieb!" Kind: "Wie weit ist denn das?" Mama: "Das ist sooooo weit." Kind: "Ist das soooo doll?" Mama: "Ja, mein Süßes. Soooo doll lieb hab ich dich. Und jetzt macht mein kleines Krümelchen mal die Augen zu und hört schön hin, denn jetzt les ich dir noch eine kleine Geschichte vor… Es war einmal eine kleine Haselmaus namens Piff. Eines Morgens…"

=== Relaxation ===
* '''''English version''' (0:49)'': The ad starts with the same music used in the K-fee Buddha commercial. Then, a soft-spoken woman's voice said the following: "And now, an exercise to help you relax. Make yourself comfortable. Close your eyes. Breathe in deeply through your nose. Keep your mouth shut. Feel that deep breath go down to your tummy. In, and out. And in, and out. And in, and out. And in, and..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."

* '''''German version '''(0:38)'': "Zu Ihrer Entspannung nun eine Übung. Machen Sie es sich bequem. Schließen Sie die Augen, atmen Sie durch die Nase tief ein. Der Mund bleibt dabei geschlossen. Atmen Sie tief in den Unterbauch. Ein, und aus. Und ein, und aus. Und ein, und…"

=== Christmas ===
* '''''English version''''' ''(0:51)'': The ad starts with the sound of a clock ticking. Then, a Santa Claus voice says the following: "Ah, Christmas time again at last. And we all have such wonderful childhood memories. Pretty little crooked houses, with chimneys puffing out trails of smoke. Ha, yes. And the icicles glistening in the moonlight all around. The snow crunches softly under our feet, and when we come into the cozy warmth of our houses, the smell of delicious baked apples and freshly baked mince pies, and oh how excited we are when we finally, finally hear the sound signaling the arrival of Christmas..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other K-fee commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (1:02)'': "Aaaaach, endlich ist wieder Weihnachtszeit und wir haben wieder all die schönen Erinnerungen an unsere Kindheit im Kopf. Die hübschen windschiefen Häuselein, aus deren Schornsteinen sich kleine Rauchfähnchen kräuseln. Ach, und die Eiszapfen allüberall, die im Mondenschein glitzern. Leise knirscht der Schnee unter unseren Sohlen, und wenn wir die behagliche Wärme unserer Häuslein betreten, dann duftet es schon nach Bratäpfelchen und frischgebackenen Rosinenmännlein. Hei, wie aufgeregt wir werden, wenn wir dann endlich, endlich am heiligen Abend das Signal zur Bescherung hören."

== K-fee light-version advertisements ==
In December 2005, K-fee released new commercials for their line of Latte Macchiato drinks that parodied their prank flash-style commercials. Using the footage from three of K-fee's most popular commercials (Auto, Beach, and Golf), the company replaced the zombie or gargoyle at the end of the ad with a man (for the zombie) or teddy bear (for the gargoyle) or demon-masked face (for the "upside-down" gargoyle), followed by the text "Jetzt auch mit weniger Koffein." (translated to English as "Now With Less Caffeine") or in the English version, "Now, without so much caffeine." and a picture of a Latte Macchiato Classic or Latte Macchiato Vanilla bottle. The Latte Macchiato commercials were made in English and German and used the same soundtracks from the original versions but higher-pitched. These ads were first aired on television on December 27th, 2005.
* '''Auto ''(Light)''''': A man in a light polo shirt appears from the bottom instead of the zombie and softly says “Boo!” in an effeminate, almost teasing voice. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Beach ''(Light)''''': A smiling teddy bear (possibly a hand puppet) appears instead of the gargoyle and giggles. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Golf ''(Light)''''': The demon-masked face appears (but zoomed in) and roars. (he can already be seen clumsily attempting to hide at the bottom of the screen before he rises.) More birds are chirping in background than in the original version. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Vanilla.

== K-fee magazine advertisements ==
Between December 2006 and February 2009, K-fee released multiple picture-based advertisements in magazines presumably in Germany. Little is known about these advertisements, such as what magazines they appeared in.

== Awards ==
K-fee has won two awards for its advertisements.

== Parodies ==
On the Internet, an alternate ending shows, instead of the product and the slogan, the text: "'''Now...Go Change Your Shorts And Get Back To Work!'''" in Arial Black instead of the normal ending; the video has gained over 24 million views as of 2025.<ref>'''youtube.com/watch?v=HqGsT6VM8Vg''' - version with alternate text.</ref> Other manifestations of this ad include being sent as part of a chain mail which supposedly depicts a ghost appearing during the filming of a television ad (sometimes from Great Britain); the viewer is instructed to follow the car closely, as a "mist" is supposed to appear next to the car at some point. The "mist", of course, never does appear, and the commercial plays out as described above, much to the chagrin of the viewer.

A picture of the famous road from the commercials is one of the possible [[Wikipedia:404 error|404 error]] images given on [[Screamer Wiki]].

=== The Amazing World of Gumball ===
In the British-American Cartoon Network animated series ''[[wikipedia:The Amazing World of Gumball|The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' ([[wikipedia:The Amazing World of Gumball (season 2)|season 2]]) episode named "The Internet", parodies the K-fee commercials. In one scene, Gumball and Darwin appear randomly browsing Elmore Stream-It while watching videos. Among these videos, they come across what is implied to be the K-fee Auto ad.<ref>https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00DI3AZDI/ref=atv_dp#btf-product-details The Internet episode.</ref>

Gumball reacts to the video on the website, commenting on the white car driving through the hills and staring closely at the screen, when suddenly the loud scream is heard, causing him to have an intense reaction which gets recorded and posted to the web. The rest of the episode involves Gumball trying to get the video removed, which has given him unwanted fame.<ref>The Amazing World of Gumball, Gumball | Uploading An Embarrassing Video | The Internet | Cartoon Network, retrieved 2018-12-26 https://youtu.be/jjq_LkeTuyE?t=19s</ref>

{{Quote|Ever been so wide awake?|K-fee's iconic advertising campaign}}

In April 2004, the German beverage company [[wikipedia:Jump scare#In advertising|'''K-fee''']] released nine 20-second-long television commercials as part of their ''Wide Awake'' campaign to advertise their coffee drink. These commercials have been heavily criticized for their content and many feel that the adverts are very unprofessional and upsetting. However, their shocking nature is designed to simulate the effect that the product has on the viewer.

The commercials consist of peaceful scenes, such as a car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. However, at some point in the ad, the scene gets briefly interrupted by either a zombie or a gargoyle screaming at the camera, followed by the company's advertising campaign and the product, accompanied by a fast heartbeat.

K-fee received a lot of complaints from their viewers, and soon after that, the ads stopped being aired on television. Some people say that on some other occasions, a warning message was displayed before the advert played, informing any young children, easily scared individuals, and people with heart or certain health conditions to not view the footage. However, this is unproven.

An episode of ''[[Wikipedia:The Tonight Show with Jay Leno|The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'', aired in April 2005, featured a segment where the audience and [[wikipedia:Jay Leno|Jay]] reacted to K-fee's ''Car'' commercial. It was hosted on K-fee's official website from 2004 to 2007 along with the other adverts. The K-fee ''Car'' commercial was also featured in 2005 on ''[[wikipedia:...on Television|Tarrant on TV]]'', a famous British show, as well as on ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]''.

On January 29th, 2021, Rhys Lapsley (Wollstone Studios, Rhys Productions 11 on this wiki) uploaded a [[Screamer Wiki:K-Fee : The Infamous Commercials Documentary|one-hour documentary video]] featuring the actors from the commercials as well as several others involved in their production.
== The commercials ==
Each commercial had both German and English versions, with the captions at the end in the respective language. There was also either a zombie or a gargoyle at the end of each advert. The zombie was played by American actor Brad Johnson, and the gargoyle was played by his brother, Adam Johnson. These ads were first aired on television on April 30th, 2005. [[File:K-fee_zombie.jpg|thumb|250px|The K-fee zombie actor, Brad Johnson]]

== Commercials featuring the zombie ==
=== Car (Auto in German) ===
The commercial begins with a relaxing scene of a white car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. When the car passes behind a large tree, the camera follows. Once it pans off the tree, the car is gone. Then, a zombie suddenly pops into the scene very briefly accompanied by a frightening scream, scaring the viewer. This commercial is more commonly known as ''Ghost Car, Spooky Car'' or ''Scary Car Commercial''. The commercial was filmed at [https://goo.gl/maps/kB7FZJDSDA3cBSCx7 36°46'09.3"N 119°15'21.9"W], which is located near Kings Canyon Joint Unified, California.<ref>https://twitter.com/georainbolt/status/1613692024770727936</ref>
=== Fishing (Angler in German) ===
This shows a man fishing in a lake, and not long afterward the zombie appears, surprisingly not looking directly into the camera as it screams.
=== Yoga ===
This shows a person practicing yoga on a cliff, and as soon as the person lifts their hand, the zombie seemingly appears out of nowhere, screaming. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Fishing/Angler ad, but the dark obscures its face.) This commercial was likely filmed at [[Wikipedia:Joshua Tree National Park|Joshua Tree National Park]]<ref>34° 00′ 58.18″ N, 116° 09′ 34.27″ W</ref>.
=== Meadow (Wiese in German) ===
The video starts with a field of wildflowers and a pollinating bee. It then cuts to a meadow with some bicycles leaning against a large tree, and the camera stops moving at a certain point. The zombie, not long afterward, shows up from the left side of the screen and screams.
=== Surfing ===
This is a far away view of a person on a beach going to the ocean to go surfing. Then the zombie appears from the right side of the screen and screams. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Car/Auto ad, but it's zoomed in. It isn’t as blurry as in Car/Auto. The Zombie’s chroma key here has an extra frame though.) This commercial is also known as Beach 3, or Surfer.

[[File:K-fee_gargoyle.jpg|thumb|250px|The K-fee gargoyle actor, Adam Johnson]]

== Commercials featuring the gargoyle ==
=== Beach (Strand in German) ===
This depicts two lovers on a beach about to kiss, and just as they do, the gargoyle jumps up screaming from the bottom of the screen, blocking the view, with blood dripping from its mouth. K-fee Beach was filmed at Point Dume State Beach.
=== Boardwalk (Weg in German) ===
This shows a relaxing scene of a boardwalk near a beach, with a jogger in the distance who can be heard breathing, and soon stops to take a break and look at the beach. The camera then pans to the beach as well, and shortly after it stops moving, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This commercial is also known as ''Beach 2''. This commercial was filmed at Moonstone Beach Boardwalk in Cambria, CA.
=== Buddha ===
This depicts a woman sitting in a garden, meditating near a Buddha statue. The camera briefly cuts to the statue and then to the woman, and when it moves away to its original view, the gargoyle jumps up screaming. Its face is so close to the camera that it is out of focus.
=== Golf ===
A man is shown golfing from far away. Eventually, a faint putting sound is heard, and shortly afterward, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This is the only spot that does not include any background music.

==K-fee radio advertisements==
In December 2004, K-fee released four radio advertisements: ''Investment'', ''Love'', ''Relaxation'' and ''Christmas''. The ads were available in English and German.

=== Investment ===
* '''''English version '''(0:29)'': The ad starts with a man saying the following: "Would you like to know how to make more of your money? Then, listen carefully. We've got an investment tip for you that promises top returns. This investment will guarantee you a worry-free life and allow you to fulfill cherished dreams. All with a monthly payment starting from just 20 euros. All you have to do..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:26)'': "Möchten Sie wissen, wie Sie mehr aus Ihrem Geld machen? Dann hören Sie jetzt gut zu. Wir haben für Sie einen Anlagetipp mit einer Top-Rendite.

Sie müssen einfach nur..."

=== Love ===
* '''''English version '''(0:33)'': The ad starts with lullaby music and a young girl's voice saying, "Mummy mummy, how much do you love me?" Then, a woman's voice says: "I love you from here to the moon." "How far is that?" "Hm. It's so far." "Is that so much?" "Yes, my love. I love you so much. Now close your eyes sweetie, and listen while I read you a story. Once upon a time, there was a little doormouse called Piff. One day, it went..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:37)'': Kind: "Mama, Mama, wie lieb hast du mich?" Mama: "Ich hab dich von hier bis zum Mond lieb!" Kind: "Wie weit ist denn das?" Mama: "Das ist sooooo weit."

=== Relaxation ===
* '''''English version''' (0:49)'': The ad starts with the same music used in the K-fee Buddha commercial. Then, a soft-spoken woman's voice said the following: "And now, an exercise to help you relax. Make yourself comfortable. Close your eyes. Breathe in deeply through your nose. Keep your mouth shut. Feel that deep breath go down to your tummy. In, and out. And in, and out. And in, and out. And in, and..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."

* '''''German version '''(0:38)'': "Zu Ihrer Entspannung nun eine Übung. Machen Sie es sich bequem. Schließen Sie die Augen, atmen Sie durch die Nase tief ein. Der Mund bleibt dabei geschlossen. Atmen Sie tief in den Unterbauch. Ein, und aus. Und ein, und aus. Und ein, und…"

=== Christmas ===
* '''''English version''''' ''(0:51)'': The ad starts with the sound of a clock ticking. Then, a Santa Claus voice says the following: "Ah, Christmas time again at last. And we all have such wonderful childhood memories. Pretty little crooked houses, with chimneys puffing out trails of smoke. Ha, yes. And the icicles glistening in the moonlight all around. The snow crunches softly under our feet, and when we come into the cozy warmth of our houses, the smell of delicious baked apples and freshly baked mince pies, and oh how excited we are when we finally, finally hear the sound signaling the arrival of Christmas..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other K-fee commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (1:02)'': "Aaaaach, endlich ist wieder Weihnachtszeit und wir haben wieder all die schönen Erinnerungen an unsere Kindheit im Kopf. Die hübschen windschiefen Häuselein, aus deren Schornsteinen sich kleine Rauchfähnchen kräuseln. Ach, und die Eiszapfen allüberall, die im Mondenschein glitzern. Leise knirscht der Schnee unter unseren Sohlen, und wenn wir die behagliche Wärme unserer Häuslein betreten, dann duftet es schon nach Bratäpfelchen und frischgebackenen Rosinenmännlein. Hei, wie aufgeregt wir werden, wenn wir dann endlich, endlich am heiligen Abend das Signal zur Bescherung hören."

== K-fee light-version advertisements ==
In December 2005, K-fee released new commercials for their line of Latte Macchiato drinks that parodied their prank flash-style commercials. Using the footage from three of K-fee's most popular commercials (Auto, Beach, and Golf), the company replaced the zombie or gargoyle at the end of the ad with a man (for the zombie) or teddy bear (for the gargoyle) or demon-masked face (for the "upside-down" gargoyle), followed by the text "Jetzt auch mit weniger Koffein." (translated to English as "Now With Less Caffeine") or in the English version, "Now, without so much caffeine." and a picture of a Latte Macchiato Classic or Latte Macchiato Vanilla bottle. The Latte Macchiato commercials were made in English and German and used the same soundtracks from the original versions but higher-pitched. These ads were first aired on television on December 27th, 2005.
* '''Auto ''(Light)''''': A man in a light polo shirt appears from the bottom instead of the zombie and softly says “Boo!” in an effeminate, almost teasing voice. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Beach ''(Light)''''': A smiling teddy bear (possibly a hand puppet) appears instead of the gargoyle and giggles. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Golf ''(Light)''''': The demon-masked face appears (but zoomed in) and roars. (he can already be seen clumsily attempting to hide at the bottom of the screen before he rises.) More birds are chirping in background than in the original version. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Vanilla.

== K-fee magazine advertisements ==
Between December 2006 and February 2009, K-fee released multiple picture-based advertisements in magazines presumably in Germany. Little is known about these advertisements, such as what magazines they appeared in.

== Awards ==
K-fee has won two awards for its advertisements.

== Parodies ==
On the Internet, an alternate ending shows, instead of the product and the slogan, the text: "'''Now...Go Change Your Shorts And Get Back To Work!'''" in Arial Black instead of the normal ending; the video has gained over 24 million views as of 2025.<ref>'''youtube.com/watch?v=HqGsT6VM8Vg''' - version with alternate text.</ref> Other manifestations of this ad include being sent as part of a chain mail which supposedly depicts a ghost appearing during the filming of a television ad (sometimes from Great Britain); the viewer is instructed to follow the car closely, as a "mist" is supposed to appear next to the car at some point. The "mist", of course, never does appear, and the commercial plays out as described above, much to the chagrin of the viewer.

A picture of the famous road from the commercials is one of the possible [[Wikipedia:404 error|404 error]] images given on [[Screamer Wiki]].

=== The Amazing World of Gumball ===
In the British-American Cartoon Network animated series ''[[wikipedia:The Amazing World of Gumball|The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' ([[wikipedia:The Amazing World of Gumball (season 2)|season 2]]) episode named "The Internet", parodies the K-fee commercials. In one scene, Gumball and Darwin appear randomly browsing Elmore Stream-It while watching videos. Among these videos, they come across what is implied to be the K-fee Auto ad.<ref>https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00DI3AZDI/ref=atv_dp#btf-product-details The Internet episode.</ref>

Gumball reacts to the video on the website, commenting on the white car driving through the hills and staring closely at the screen, when suddenly the loud scream is heard, causing him to have an intense reaction which gets recorded and posted to the web. The rest of the episode involves Gumball trying to get the video removed, which has given him unwanted fame.<ref>The Amazing World of Gumball, Gumball | Uploading An Embarrassing Video | The Internet | Cartoon Network, retrieved 2018-12-26 https://youtu.be/jjq_LkeTuyE?t=19s</ref>

{{Quote|Ever been so wide awake?|K-fee's iconic advertising campaign}}

In April 2004, a German beverage company named [[wikipedia:Jump scare#In advertising|'''K-fee''']] released nine 20-second-long television commercials as part of their ''Wide Awake'' campaign to advertise their coffee drink. These commercials have been heavily criticized for their content and many feel that the adverts are very uncommercial and upsetting. However, their shocking visual is built to simulate the effect that the product has on the viewer.

The commercials consist of peaceful scenes, such as a car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. However, at some point in the ad, the scene gets briefly interrupted by either a zombie or a gargoyle screaming at the camera, followed by the company's advertising campaign and the product, accompanied by a fast heartbeat.

K-fee received a lot of complaints from their viewers, and soon after that, the ads stopped being aired on television. Some people say that on some other occasions, a warning message was displayed before the advert played, informing any young children, easily scared individuals, and people with heart or certain health conditions to not view the footage. However, this is unproven.

An episode of ''[[Wikipedia:The Tonight Show with Jay Leno|The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'', aired in April 2005, featured a segment where the audience and [[wikipedia:Jay Leno|Jay]] reacted to K-fee's ''Car'' commercial. It was hosted on K-fee's official website from 2004 to 2007 along with the other adverts. The K-fee ''Car'' commercial was also featured in 2005 on ''[[wikipedia:...on Television|Tarrant on TV]]'', a famous British show, as well as on ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]''.

On January 29th, 2021, Rhys Lapsley (Wollstone Studios, Rhys Productions 11 on this wiki) uploaded a [[Screamer Wiki:K-Fee : The Infamous Commercials Documentary|one-hour documentary video]] featuring the actors from the commercials as well as several others involved in their legacy of them.
== The commercials ==
Each commercial had both German and English versions, with the captions at the end in the respective language. There was also either a zombie or a gargoyle at the end of each advert. The zombie was played by American actor Brad Johnson, and the gargoyle was played by his brother, ''Adam Johnson''. These ads were first aired on television on April 30th, 2005. [[File:K-fee_zombie.jpg|thumb|250px|The K-fee zombie actor, Brad Johnson]]

== Commercials featuring the zombie ==
=== Car (Auto in German) ===
The commercial begins with a relaxing scene of a white car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. When the car passes behind a large tree, the camera follows. Once it pans off the tree, the car is gone. Then, a zombie suddenly pops into the scene very briefly accompanied by a frightening scream, scaring the viewer. This commercial is more commonly known as ''Ghost Car, Spooky Car'' or ''Scary Car Commercial''. The commercial was filmed at [https://goo.gl/maps/kB7FZJDSDA3cBSCx7 36°46'09.3"N 119°15'21.9"W], which is located near Kings Canyon Joint Unified, California.<ref>https://twitter.com/georainbolt/status/1613692024770727936</ref>
=== Fishing (Angler in German) ===
This shows a man fishing in a lake, and not long afterward the zombie appears, surprisingly not looking directly into the camera as it screams.
=== Yoga ===
This shows a person practicing yoga on a cliff, and as soon as the person lifts their hand, the zombie seemingly appears out of nowhere, screaming. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Fishing/Angler ad, but the dark obscures its face.) This commercial was likely filmed at [[Wikipedia:Joshua Tree National Park|Joshua Tree National Park]]<ref>34° 00′ 58.18″ N, 116° 09′ 34.27″ W</ref>.
=== Meadow (Wiese in German) ===
The video starts with a field of wildflowers and a pollinating bee. It then cuts to a meadow with some bicycles leaning against a large tree, and the camera stops moving at a certain point. The zombie, not long afterward, shows up from the left side of the screen and screams.
=== Surfing ===
This is a far away view of a person on a beach going to the ocean to go surfing. Then the zombie appears from the right side of the screen and screams. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Car/Auto ad, but it's zoomed in. It isn’t as blurry as in Car/Auto. The Zombie’s chroma key here has an extra frame though.) This commercial is also known as Beach 3, or Surfer.

[[File:K-fee_gargoyle.jpg|thumb|250px|The K-fee gargoyle actor, Adam Johnson]]

== Commercials featuring the gargoyle ==
=== Beach (Strand in German) ===
This depicts two lovers on a beach about to kiss, and just as they do, the gargoyle jumps up screaming from the bottom of the screen, blocking the view, with blood dripping from its mouth. K-fee Beach was filmed at Point Dume State Beach.
=== Boardwalk (Weg in German) ===
This shows a relaxing scene of a boardwalk near a beach, with a jogger in the distance who can be heard breathing, and soon stops to take a break and look at the beach. The camera then pans to the beach as well, and shortly after it stops moving, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This commercial is also known as ''Beach 2''. This commercial was filmed at Moonstone Beach Boardwalk in Cambria, CA.
=== Buddha ===
This depicts a woman sitting in a garden, meditating near a Buddha statue. The camera briefly cuts to the statue and then to the woman, and when it moves away to its original view, the gargoyle jumps up screaming. Its face is so close to the camera that it is out of focus.
=== Golf ===
A man is shown golfing from far away. Eventually, a faint putting sound is heard, and shortly afterward, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This is the only spot that does not include any background music.

==K-fee radio advertisements==
In December 2004, K-fee released four radio advertisements: ''Investment'', ''Love'', ''Relaxation'' and ''Christmas''. The ads were available in English and German.

=== Investment ===
* '''''English version '''(0:29)'': The ad starts with a man saying the following: "Would you like to know how to make more of your money? Then, listen carefully. We've got an investment tip for you that promises top returns. This investment will guarantee you a worry-free life and allow you to fulfill cherished dreams. All with a monthly payment starting from just 20 euros. All you have to do..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:26)'': "Möchten Sie wissen, wie Sie mehr aus Ihrem Geld machen? Dann hören Sie jetzt gut zu. Wir haben für Sie einen Anlagetipp mit einer Top-Rendite. Diese Anlage garantiert Ihnen ein sorgenfreies Leben. Und erlaubt es Ihnen, lang gehegte Wünsche zu erfüllen. Und das bereits ab einer monatlichen Einzahlung von nur 20 Euro. Sie müssen einfach nur..."

=== Love ===
* '''''English version '''(0:33)'': The ad starts with lullaby music and a young girl's voice saying, "Mummy mummy, how much do you love me?" Then, a woman's voice says: "I love you from here to the moon." "How far is that?" "Hm. It's so far." "Is that so much?" "Yes, my love. I love you so much. Now close your eyes sweetie, and listen while I read you a story. Once upon a time, there was a little dormouse called Piff. One day, it went..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:37)'': Kind: "Mama, Mama, wie lieb hast du mich?" Mama: "Ich hab dich von hier bis zum Mond lieb!" Kind: "Wie weit ist denn das?" Mama: "Das ist sooooo weit." Kind: "Ist das soooo doll?" Mama: "Ja, mein Süßes. Soooo doll lieb hab ich dich. Und jetzt macht mein kleines Krümelchen mal die Augen zu und hört schön hin, denn jetzt les ich dir noch eine kleine Geschichte vor… Es war einmal eine kleine Haselmaus namens Piff. Eines Morgens…"

=== Relaxation ===
* '''''English version''' (0:49)'': The ad starts with the same music used in the K-fee Buddha commercial. Then, a soft-spoken woman's voice said the following: "And now, an exercise to help you relax. Make yourself comfortable. Close your eyes. Breathe in deeply through your nose. Keep your mouth shut. Feel that deep breath go down to your tummy. In, and out. And in, and out. And in, and out. And in, and..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."

* '''''German version '''(0:38)'': "Zu Ihrer Entspannung nun eine Übung. Machen Sie es sich bequem. Schließen Sie die Augen, atmen Sie durch die Nase tief ein. Der Mund bleibt dabei geschlossen. Atmen Sie tief in den Unterbauch. Ein, und aus. Und ein, und aus. Und ein, und…"

=== Christmas ===
* '''''English version''''' ''(0:51)'': The ad starts with the sound of a clock ticking. Then, a Santa Claus voice says the following: "Ah, Christmas time again at last. And we all have such wonderful childhood memories. Pretty little crooked houses, with chimneys puffing out trails of smoke. Ha, yes. And the icicles glistening in the moonlight all around. The snow crunches softly under our feet, and when we come into the cozy warmth of our houses, the smell of delicious baked apples and freshly baked mince pies, and oh how excited we are when we finally, finally hear the sound signaling the arrival of Christmas..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other K-fee commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (1:02)'': "Aaaaach, endlich ist wieder Weihnachtszeit und wir haben wieder all die schönen Erinnerungen an unsere Kindheit im Kopf. Die hübschen windschiefen Häuselein, aus deren Schornsteinen sich kleine Rauchfähnchen kräuseln. Ach, und die Eiszapfen allüberall, die im Mondenschein glitzern. Leise knirscht der Schnee unter unseren Sohlen, und wenn wir die behagliche Wärme unserer Häuslein betreten, dann duftet es schon nach Bratäpfelchen und frischgebackenen Rosinenmännlein. Hei, wie aufgeregt wir werden, wenn wir dann endlich, endlich am heiligen Abend das Signal zur Bescherung hören."

== K-fee light-version advertisements ==
In December 2005, K-fee released new commercials for their line of Latte Macchiato drinks that parodied their prank flash-style commercials. Using the footage from three of K-fee's most popular commercials (Auto, Beach, and Golf), the company replaced the zombie or gargoyle at the end of the ad with a man (for the zombie) or teddy bear (for the gargoyle) or demon-masked face (for the "upside-down" gargoyle), followed by the text "Jetzt auch mit weniger Koffein." (translated to English as "Now With Less Caffeine") or in the English version, "Now, without so much caffeine." and a picture of a Latte Macchiato Classic or Latte Macchiato Vanilla bottle. The Latte Macchiato commercials were made in English and German and used the same soundtracks from the original versions but higher-pitched. These ads were first aired on television on December 27th, 2005.
* '''Auto ''(Light)''''': A man in a light polo shirt appears from the bottom instead of the zombie and softly says “Boo!” in an effeminate, almost teasing voice. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Beach ''(Light)''''': A smiling teddy bear (possibly a hand puppet) appears instead of the gargoyle and giggles. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Golf ''(Light)''''': The demon-masked face appears (but zoomed in) and roars. (he can already be seen clumsily attempting to hide at the bottom of the screen before he rises.) More birds are chirping in background than in the original version. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Vanilla.

== K-fee magazine advertisements ==
Between December 2006 and February 2009, K-fee released multiple picture-based advertisements in magazines presumably in Germany. Little is known about these advertisements, such as what magazines they appeared in.

Gumball reacts to the video on the website, commenting on the white car driving through the hills and staring closely at the screen, when suddenly the loud scream is heard, causing him to have an intense reaction which gets recorded and posted to the web. The rest of the episode involves Gumball trying to get the video removed, which has given him unwanted fame.<ref>The Amazing World of Gumball, Gumball | Uploading An Embarrassing Video | The Internet | Cartoon Network, retrieved 2018-12-26 https://youtu.be/jjq_LkeTuyE?t=19s</ref>

{{Quote|Ever been so wide awake?|K-fee's iconic advertising campaign}}

In April 2004, a German beverage company named [[wikipedia:Jump scare#In advertising|'''K-fee''']] released nine 20-second-long television commercials as part of their ''Wide Awake'' campaign to advertise their coffee drink. These commercials have been heavily criticized for their content and many feel that the adverts are very uncommercial and upsetting. However, their shocking visual is built to simulate the effect that the product has on the viewer.

The commercials consist of peaceful scenes, such as a car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. However, at some point in the ad, the scene gets briefly interrupted by either a zombie or a gargoyle screaming at the camera, followed by the company's advertising campaign and the product, accompanied by a fast heartbeat.

K-fee received a lot of complaints from their viewers, and soon after that, the ads stopped being aired on television. Some people say that on some other occasions, a warning message was displayed before the advert played, informing any young children, easily scared individuals, and people with heart or certain health conditions to not view the footage. However, this is unproven.

An episode of ''[[Wikipedia:The Tonight Show with Jay Leno|The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'', aired in April 2005, featured a segment where the audience and [[wikipedia:Jay Leno|Jay]] reacted to K-fee's ''Car'' commercial. It was hosted on K-fee's official website from 2004 to 2007 along with the other adverts. The K-fee ''Car'' commercial was also featured in 2005 on ''[[wikipedia:...on Television|Tarrant on TV]]'', a famous British show, as well as on ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]''.

On January 29th, 2021, Rhys Lapsley (Wollstone Studios, Rhys Productions 11 on this wiki) uploaded a [[Screamer Wiki:K-Fee : The Infamous Commercials Documentary|one-hour documentary video]] featuring the actors from the commercials as well as several others involved in their legacy of them.
== The commercials ==
Each commercial had both German and English versions, with the captions at the end in the respective language. There was also either a zombie or a gargoyle at the end of each advert. The zombie was played by American actor Brad Johnson, and the gargoyle was played by his brother, ''Adam Johnson''. These ads were first aired on television on April 30th, 2005. [[File:K-fee_zombie.jpg|thumb|250px|The K-fee zombie actor, Brad Johnson]]

== Commercials featuring the zombie ==
=== Car (Auto in German) ===
The commercial begins with a relaxing scene of a white car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. When the car passes behind a large tree, the camera follows. Once it pans off the tree, the car is gone. Then, a zombie suddenly pops into the scene very briefly accompanied by a frightening scream, scaring the viewer. This commercial is more commonly known as ''Ghost Car, Spooky Car'' or ''Scary Car Commercial''. The commercial was filmed at [https://goo.gl/maps/kB7FZJDSDA3cBSCx7 36°46'09.3"N 119°15'21.9"W], which is located near Kings Canyon Joint Unified, California.<ref>https://twitter.com/georainbolt/status/1613692024770727936</ref>
=== Fishing (Angler in German) ===
This shows a man fishing in a lake, and not long afterward the zombie appears, surprisingly not looking directly into the camera as it screams.
=== Yoga ===
This shows a person practicing yoga on a cliff, and as soon as the person lifts their hand, the zombie seemingly appears out of nowhere, screaming. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Fishing/Angler ad, but the dark obscures its face.) This commercial was likely filmed at [[Wikipedia:Joshua Tree National Park|Joshua Tree National Park]]<ref>34° 00′ 58.18″ N, 116° 09′ 34.27″ W</ref>.
=== Meadow (Wiese in German) ===
The video starts with a field of wildflowers and a pollinating bee. It then cuts to a meadow with some bicycles leaning against a large tree, and the camera stops moving at a certain point. The zombie, not long afterward, shows up from the left side of the screen and screams.
=== Surfing ===
This is a far away view of a person on a beach going to the ocean to go surfing. Then the zombie appears from the right side of the screen and screams. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Car/Auto ad, but it's zoomed in.) This commercial is also known as Beach 3, or Surfer.

[[File:K-fee_gargoyle.jpg|thumb|250px|The K-fee gargoyle actor, Adam Johnson]]

== Commercials featuring the gargoyle ==
=== Beach (Strand in German) ===
This depicts two lovers on a beach about to kiss, and just as they do, the gargoyle jumps up screaming from the bottom of the screen, blocking the view, with blood dripping from its mouth. K-fee Beach was filmed at Point Dume State Beach.
=== Boardwalk (Weg in German) ===
This shows a relaxing scene of a boardwalk near a beach, with a jogger in the distance who can be heard breathing, and soon stops to take a break and look at the beach. The camera then pans to the beach as well, and shortly after it stops moving, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This commercial is also known as ''Beach 2''. This commercial was filmed at Moonstone Beach Boardwalk in Cambria, CA.
=== Buddha ===
This depicts a woman sitting in a garden, meditating near a Buddha statue. The camera briefly cuts to the statue and then to the woman, and when it moves away to its original view, the gargoyle jumps up screaming. Its face is so close to the camera that it is out of focus.
=== Golf ===
A man is shown golfing from far away. Eventually, a faint putting sound is heard, and shortly afterward, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This is the only spot that does not include any background music.

==K-fee radio advertisements==
In December 2004, K-fee released four radio advertisements: ''Investment'', ''Love'', ''Relaxation'' and ''Christmas''. The ads were available in English and German.

=== Investment ===
* '''''English version '''(0:29)'': The ad starts with a man saying the following: "Would you like to know how to make more of your money? Then, listen carefully. We've got an investment tip for you that promises top returns. This investment will guarantee you a worry-free life and allow you to fulfill cherished dreams. All with a monthly payment starting from just 20 euros. All you have to do..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:26)'': "Möchten Sie wissen, wie Sie mehr aus Ihrem Geld machen? Dann hören Sie jetzt gut zu. Wir haben für Sie einen Anlagetipp mit einer Top-Rendite. Diese Anlage garantiert Ihnen ein sorgenfreies Leben. Und erlaubt es Ihnen, lang gehegte Wünsche zu erfüllen. Und das bereits ab einer monatlichen Einzahlung von nur 20 Euro. Sie müssen einfach nur..."

=== Love ===
* '''''English version '''(0:33)'': The ad starts with lullaby music and a young girl's voice saying, "Mummy mummy, how much do you love me?" Then, a woman's voice says: "I love you from here to the moon." "How far is that?" "Hm. It's so far." "Is that so much?" "Yes, my love. I love you so much. Now close your eyes sweetie, and listen while I read you a story. Once upon a time, there was a little dormouse called Piff. One day, it went..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:37)'': Kind: "Mama, Mama, wie lieb hast du mich?" Mama: "Ich hab dich von hier bis zum Mond lieb!" Kind: "Wie weit ist denn das?" Mama: "Das ist sooooo weit." Kind: "Ist das soooo doll?" Mama: "Ja, mein Süßes. Soooo doll lieb hab ich dich. Und jetzt macht mein kleines Krümelchen mal die Augen zu und hört schön hin, denn jetzt les ich dir noch eine kleine Geschichte vor… Es war einmal eine kleine Haselmaus namens Piff. Eines Morgens…"

=== Relaxation ===
* '''''English version''' (0:49)'': The ad starts with the same music used in the K-fee Buddha commercial. Then, a soft-spoken woman's voice said the following: "And now, an exercise to help you relax. Make yourself comfortable. Close your eyes. Breathe in deeply through your nose. Keep your mouth shut. Feel that deep breath go down to your tummy. In, and out. And in, and out. And in, and out. And in, and..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."

* '''''German version '''(0:38)'': "Zu Ihrer Entspannung nun eine Übung. Machen Sie es sich bequem. Schließen Sie die Augen, atmen Sie durch die Nase tief ein. Der Mund bleibt dabei geschlossen. Atmen Sie tief in den Unterbauch. Ein, und aus. Und ein, und aus. Und ein, und…"

=== Christmas ===
* '''''English version''''' ''(0:51)'': The ad starts with the sound of a clock ticking. Then, a Santa Claus voice says the following: "Ah, Christmas time again at last. And we all have such wonderful childhood memories. Pretty little crooked houses, with chimneys puffing out trails of smoke. Ha, yes. And the icicles glistening in the moonlight all around. The snow crunches softly under our feet, and when we come into the cozy warmth of our houses, the smell of delicious baked apples and freshly baked mince pies, and oh how excited we are when we finally, finally hear the sound signaling the arrival of Christmas..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other K-fee commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (1:02)'': "Aaaaach, endlich ist wieder Weihnachtszeit und wir haben wieder all die schönen Erinnerungen an unsere Kindheit im Kopf. Die hübschen windschiefen Häuselein, aus deren Schornsteinen sich kleine Rauchfähnchen kräuseln. Ach, und die Eiszapfen allüberall, die im Mondenschein glitzern. Leise knirscht der Schnee unter unseren Sohlen, und wenn wir die behagliche Wärme unserer Häuslein betreten, dann duftet es schon nach Bratäpfelchen und frischgebackenen Rosinenmännlein. Hei, wie aufgeregt wir werden, wenn wir dann endlich, endlich am heiligen Abend das Signal zur Bescherung hören."

== K-fee light-version advertisements ==
In December 2005, K-fee released new commercials for their line of Latte Macchiato drinks that parodied their prank flash-style commercials. Using the footage from three of K-fee's most popular commercials (Auto, Beach, and Golf), the company replaced the zombie or gargoyle at the end of the ad with a man (for the zombie) or teddy bear (for the gargoyle) or demon-masked face (for the "upside-down" gargoyle), followed by the text "Jetzt auch mit weniger Koffein." (translated to English as "Now With Less Caffeine") or in the English version, "Now, without so much caffeine." and a picture of a Latte Macchiato Classic or Latte Macchiato Vanilla bottle. The Latte Macchiato commercials were made in English and German and used the same soundtracks from the original versions but higher-pitched. These ads were first aired on television on December 27th, 2005.
* '''Auto ''(Light)''''': A man in a light polo shirt appears from the bottom instead of the zombie and softly says “Boo!” in an effeminate, almost teasing voice. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Beach ''(Light)''''': A smiling teddy bear (possibly a hand puppet) appears instead of the gargoyle and giggles. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Golf ''(Light)''''': The demon-masked face appears (but zoomed in) and roars. (he can already be seen clumsily attempting to hide at the bottom of the screen before he rises.) More birds are chirping in background than in the original version. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Vanilla.

== K-fee magazine advertisements ==
Between December 2006 and February 2009, K-fee released multiple picture-based advertisements in magazines presumably in Germany. Little is known about these advertisements, such as what magazines they appeared in.

== Awards ==
K-fee has won two awards for its advertisements.

== Parodies ==
On the Internet, an alternate ending shows, instead of the product and the slogan, the text: "'''Now...Go Change Your Shorts And Get Back To Work!'''" in Arial Black instead of the normal ending; the video has gained over 24 million views as of 2025.<ref>'''youtube.com/watch?v=HqGsT6VM8Vg''' - version with alternate text.</ref> Other manifestations of this ad include being sent as part of a chain mail which supposedly depicts a ghost appearing during the filming of a television ad (sometimes from Great Britain); the viewer is instructed to follow the car closely, as a "mist" is supposed to appear next to the car at some point. The "mist", of course, never does appear, and the commercial plays out as described above, much to the chagrin of the viewer.

=== The Amazing World of Gumball ===
In the British-American Cartoon Network animated series ''[[wikipedia:The Amazing World of Gumball|The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' ([[wikipedia:The Amazing World of Gumball (season 2)|season 2]]) episode named "The Internet", parodies the K-fee commercials. In one scene, Gumball and Darwin appear randomly browsing Elmore Stream-It while watching videos. Among these videos, they come across what is implied to be the K-fee Auto ad.<ref>https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00DI3AZDI/ref=atv_dp#btf-product-details The Internet episode.</ref>

Gumball reacts to the video on the website, commenting on the white car driving through the hills and staring closely at the screen, when suddenly the loud scream is heard, causing him to have an intense reaction which gets recorded and posted to the web. The rest of the episode involves Gumball trying to get the video removed, which has given him unwanted fame.<ref>The Amazing World of Gumball, Gumball | Uploading An Embarrassing Video | The Internet | Cartoon Network, retrieved 2018-12-26 https://youtu.be/jjq_LkeTuyE?t=19s</ref>

{{Quote|Ever been so wide awake?|K-fee's iconic advertising campaign}}

In April 2004, a German beverage company named [[wikipedia:Jump scare#In advertising|'''K-fee''']] released nine 20-second-long television commercials as part of their ''Wide Awake'' campaign to advertise their coffee drink. These commercials have been heavily criticized for their content and many feel that the adverts are very uncommercial and upsetting. However, their shocking visual is built to simulate the effect that the product has on the viewer.

The commercials consist of peaceful scenes, such as a car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. However, at some point in the ad, the scene gets briefly interrupted by either a zombie or a gargoyle screaming at the camera, followed by the company's advertising campaign and the product, accompanied by a fast heartbeat.

K-fee received a lot of complaints from their viewers, and soon after that, the ads stopped being aired on television. Some people say that on some other occasions, a warning message was displayed before the advert played, informing any young children, easily scared individuals, and people with heart or certain health conditions to not view the footage. However, this is unproven.

An episode of ''[[Wikipedia:The Tonight Show with Jay Leno|The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'', aired in April 2005, featured a segment where the audience and [[wikipedia:Jay Leno|Jay]] reacted to K-fee's ''Car'' commercial. It was hosted on K-fee's official website from 2004 to 2007 along with the other adverts. The K-fee ''Car'' commercial was also featured in 2005 on ''[[wikipedia:...on Television|Tarrant on TV]]'', a famous British show, as well as on ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]''.

On January 29th, 2021, Rhys Lapsley (Wollstone Studios, Rhys Productions 11 on this wiki) uploaded a [[Screamer Wiki:K-Fee : The Infamous Commercials Documentary|one-hour documentary video]] featuring the actors from the commercials as well as several others involved in their legacy of them.
== The commercials ==
Each commercial had both German and English versions, with the captions at the end in the respective language. There was also either a zombie or a gargoyle at the end of each advert. The zombie was played by American actor Brad Johnson, and the gargoyle was played by his brother, ''Adam Johnson''. These ads were first aired on television on April 30th, 2005. [[File:K-fee_zombie.jpg|thumb|250px|The K-fee zombie actor, Brad Johnson]]

== Commercials featuring the zombie ==
=== Car (Auto in German) ===
The commercial begins with a relaxing scene of a white car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. When the car passes behind a large tree, the camera follows. Once it pans off the tree, the car is gone. Then, a zombie suddenly pops into the scene very briefly accompanied by a frightening scream, scaring the viewer. This commercial is more commonly known as ''Ghost Car, Spooky Car'' or ''Scary Car Commercial''. The commercial was filmed at [https://goo.gl/maps/kB7FZJDSDA3cBSCx7 36°46'09.3"N 119°15'21.9"W], which is located near Kings Canyon Joint Unified, California.<ref>https://twitter.com/georainbolt/status/1613692024770727936</ref>
=== Fishing (Angler in German) ===
This shows a man fishing in a lake, and not long afterward the zombie appears, surprisingly not looking directly into the camera as it screams.
=== Yoga ===
This shows a person practicing yoga on a cliff, and as soon as the person lifts their hand, the zombie seemingly appears out of nowhere, screaming. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Fishing/Angler ad, but the dark obscures its face.) This commercial was likely filmed at [[Wikipedia:Joshua Tree National Park|Joshua Tree National Park]]<ref>34° 00′ 58.18″ N, 116° 09′ 34.27″ W</ref>.
=== Meadow (Wiese in German) ===
The video starts with a field of wildflowers and a pollinating bee. It then cuts to a meadow with some bicycles leaning against a large tree, and the camera stops moving at a certain point. The zombie, not long afterward, shows up from the left side of the screen and screams.
=== Surfing ===
This is a far away view of a person on a beach going to the ocean to go surfing. Then the zombie appears from the right side of the screen and screams. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Car/Auto ad, but it's zoomed in.) This commercial is also known as Beach 3, or Surfer.

[[File:K-fee_gargoyle.jpg|thumb|250px|The K-fee gargoyle actor, Adam Johnson]]

== Commercials featuring the gargoyle ==
=== Beach (Strand in German) ===
This depicts two lovers on a beach about to kiss, and just as they do, the gargoyle jumps up screaming from the bottom of the screen, blocking the view, with blood dripping from its mouth. K-fee Beach was filmed at Point Dume State Beach.
=== Boardwalk (Weg in German) ===
This shows a relaxing scene of a boardwalk near a beach, with a jogger in the distance who can be heard breathing, and soon stops to take a break and look at the beach. The camera then pans to the beach as well, and shortly after it stops moving, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This commercial is also known as ''Beach 2''. This commercial was filmed at Moonstone Beach Boardwalk in Cambria, CA.
=== Buddha ===
This depicts a woman sitting in a garden, meditating near a Buddha statue. The camera briefly cuts to the statue and then to the woman, and when it moves away to its original view, the gargoyle jumps up screaming. Its face is so close to the camera that it is out of focus.
=== Golf ===
A man is shown golfing from far away. Eventually, a faint putting sound is heard, and shortly afterward, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This is the only spot that does not include any background music.

==K-fee radio advertisements==
In December 2004, K-fee released four radio advertisements: ''Investment'', ''Love'', ''Relaxation'' and ''Christmas''. The ads were available in English and German.

=== Investment ===
* '''''English version '''(0:29)'': The ad starts with a man saying the following: "Would you like to know how to make more of your money? Then, listen carefully. We've got an investment tip for you that promises top returns. This investment will guarantee you a worry-free life and allow you to fulfill cherished dreams. All with a monthly payment starting from just 20 euros. All you have to do..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:26)'': "Möchten Sie wissen, wie Sie mehr aus Ihrem Geld machen? Dann hören Sie jetzt gut zu. Wir haben für Sie einen Anlagetipp mit einer Top-Rendite. Diese Anlage garantiert Ihnen ein sorgenfreies Leben. Und erlaubt es Ihnen, lang gehegte Wünsche zu erfüllen. Und das bereits ab einer monatlichen Einzahlung von nur 20 Euro. Sie müssen einfach nur..."

=== Love ===
* '''''English version '''(0:33)'': The ad starts with lullaby music and a young girl's voice saying, "Mummy mummy, how much do you love me?" Then, a woman's voice says: "I love you from here to the moon." "How far is that?" "Hm. It's so far." "Is that so much?" "Yes, my love. I love you so much. Now close your eyes sweetie, and listen while I read you a story. Once upon a time, there was a little dormouse called Piff. One day, it went..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (0:37)'': Kind: "Mama, Mama, wie lieb hast du mich?" Mama: "Ich hab dich von hier bis zum Mond lieb!" Kind: "Wie weit ist denn das?" Mama: "Das ist sooooo weit." Kind: "Ist das soooo doll?" Mama: "Ja, mein Süßes. Soooo doll lieb hab ich dich. Und jetzt macht mein kleines Krümelchen mal die Augen zu und hört schön hin, denn jetzt les ich dir noch eine kleine Geschichte vor… Es war einmal eine kleine Haselmaus namens Piff. Eines Morgens…"

=== Relaxation ===
* '''''English version''' (0:49)'': The ad starts with the same music used in the K-fee Buddha commercial. Then, a soft-spoken woman's voice said the following: "And now, an exercise to help you relax. Make yourself comfortable. Close your eyes. Breathe in deeply through your nose. Keep your mouth shut. Feel that deep breath go down to your tummy. In, and out. And in, and out. And in, and out. And in, and..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."

* '''''German version '''(0:38)'': "Zu Ihrer Entspannung nun eine Übung. Machen Sie es sich bequem. Schließen Sie die Augen, atmen Sie durch die Nase tief ein. Der Mund bleibt dabei geschlossen. Atmen Sie tief in den Unterbauch. Ein, und aus. Und ein, und aus. Und ein, und…"

=== Christmas ===
* '''''English version''''' ''(0:51)'': The ad starts with the sound of a clock ticking. Then, a Santa Claus voice says the following: "Ah, Christmas time again at last. And we all have such wonderful childhood memories. Pretty little crooked houses, with chimneys puffing out trails of smoke. Ha, yes. And the icicles glistening in the moonlight all around. The snow crunches softly under our feet, and when we come into the cozy warmth of our houses, the smell of delicious baked apples and freshly baked mince pies, and oh how excited we are when we finally, finally hear the sound signaling the arrival of Christmas..." Then, the sentence gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other K-fee commercials. Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
* '''''German version''' (1:02)'': "Aaaaach, endlich ist wieder Weihnachtszeit und wir haben wieder all die schönen Erinnerungen an unsere Kindheit im Kopf. Die hübschen windschiefen Häuselein, aus deren Schornsteinen sich kleine Rauchfähnchen kräuseln. Ach, und die Eiszapfen allüberall, die im Mondenschein glitzern. Leise knirscht der Schnee unter unseren Sohlen, und wenn wir die behagliche Wärme unserer Häuslein betreten, dann duftet es schon nach Bratäpfelchen und frischgebackenen Rosinenmännlein. Hei, wie aufgeregt wir werden, wenn wir dann endlich, endlich am heiligen Abend das Signal zur Bescherung hören."

== K-fee light-version advertisements ==
In December 2005, K-fee released new commercials for their line of Latte Macchiato drinks that parodied their prank flash-style commercials. Using the footage from three of K-fee's most popular commercials (Auto, Beach, and Golf), the company replaced the zombie or gargoyle at the end of the ad with a man (for the zombie) or teddy bear (for the gargoyle) or demon-masked face (for the "upside-down" gargoyle), followed by the text "Jetzt auch mit weniger Koffein." (translated to English as "Now With Less Caffeine") or in the English version, "Now, without so much caffeine." and a picture of a Latte Macchiato Classic or Latte Macchiato Vanilla bottle. The Latte Macchiato commercials were made in English and German and used the same soundtracks from the original versions but higher-pitched. These ads were first aired on television on December 27th, 2005.
* '''Auto ''(Light)''''': A man in a light polo shirt appears from the bottom instead of the zombie and softly says “Boo!” in an effeminate, almost teasing voice. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Beach ''(Light)''''': A smiling teddy bear (possibly a hand puppet) appears instead of the gargoyle and giggles. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic.
* '''Golf ''(Light)''''': The demon-masked face appears (but zoomed in) and roars. (he can already be seen clumsily attempting to hide at the bottom of the screen before he rises.) More birds are chirping in background than in the original version. The advertised product is K-fee Latte Macchiato Vanilla.

== K-fee magazine advertisements ==
Between December 2006 and February 2009, K-fee released multiple picture-based advertisements in magazines presumably in Germany. Little is known about these advertisements, such as what magazines they appeared in.

== Awards ==
K-fee has won two awards for its advertisements.

== Parodies ==
On the Internet, an alternate ending shows, instead of the product and the slogan, the text: "'''Now...Go Change Your Shorts And Get Back To Work!'''" in Arial Black instead of the normal ending; the video has gained over 12 million views as of 2018.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=HqGsT6VM8Vg Version with alternate text.</ref> Other manifestations of this ad include being sent as part of a chain mail which supposedly depicts a ghost appearing during the filming of a television ad (sometimes from Great Britain); the viewer is instructed to follow the car closely, as a "mist" is supposed to appear next to the car at some point. The "mist", of course, never does appear, and the commercial plays out as described above, much to the chagrin of the viewer.

=== The Amazing World of Gumball ===
In the British-American Cartoon Network animated series ''[[wikipedia:The Amazing World of Gumball|The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' ([[wikipedia:The Amazing World of Gumball (season 2)|season 2]]) episode named "The Internet", parodies the K-fee commercials. In one scene, Gumball and Darwin appear randomly browsing Elmore Stream-It while watching videos. Among these videos, they come across what is implied to be the K-fee Auto ad.<ref>https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00DI3AZDI/ref=atv_dp#btf-product-details The Internet episode.</ref>

Gumball reacts to the video on the website, commenting on the white car driving through the hills and staring closely at the screen, when suddenly the loud scream is heard, causing him to have an intense reaction which gets recorded and posted to the web. The rest of the episode involves Gumball trying to get the video removed, which has given him unwanted fame.<ref>The Amazing World of Gumball, Gumball | Uploading An Embarrassing Video | The Internet | Cartoon Network, retrieved 2018-12-26 https://youtu.be/jjq_LkeTuyE?t=19s</ref>

K-fee Police Chase is a screamer video uploaded to YouTube by a user named Fallout Fanatic 2007 The Vyonder on January 14, 2025. It it made as a parody of the [[K-fee commercials|K-fee Car Commercial]].

The video begins with a custom HD restoration of the K-fee Lite Car Commercial, except the music is in lower pitch to match the original K-fee Car Commercial's pitch. After the first 3 seconds, a police car appears on the road chasing the car. The video then speeds up faster also affecting the audio pitch. The car drives much faster than user. Sirens can be heard from the police car. The police car chases after the car. When the car goes into the bushes along with the police car, they crash into each other. A sound of a car crash can be heard as well, along with the part there where the commercial audio's pitch and speed changes back. It continues futher. And then, a man in a polo suit from the K-fee Lite Car Commercial pops up saying "Boo!" Upon which, it cuts to the segment of the slogan used in the K-fee Latte Macchiato adverts with the original audio pitch whispering "Jetzt auch mit weniger Koffein" (Translated as "Now also with less caffeine." Or in the English version, "Now, without so much caffeine." Then, the zombie from the original K-fee Car advert pops up with a loud scream. Just a couple seconds later, a footage of K-fee zombies and gargoyles from the 9 K-fee commercials all pop out at once screaming at the same time. Then, it goes to the display of the K-fee Latte Macchiato Classic bottle, followed by the video sped up a little and with the narrator whispering "K-fee" twice. Just about a second later, a picture of a zombie woman appears with a loud scream from [[The Maze|The Scary Maze Game]].

==K-fee Filming Locations==
Just going to leave this old thread here (as it is very informal). http://web.archive.org/web/20190821082453/https://screamer.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:11623 
BTW the Yoga commercial seems like it was filmed at Joshua Tree National Park near Palm Springs, CA. [[User:Lawiki1534|Lawiki1534]] ([[User talk:Lawiki1534|talk]]) 08:26, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Update:

Join our Wiki.
https://kfee.fandom.com/wiki/K-fee_Wiki

as of now:

Car = Rébénacq, France
Yoga = Josuha Tree (thanks to you)
Buddah = Palm Springs, California
Meadow = Central California
Beach = Santa Monica
Boardwalk = Moonstone Beach
Fishing = Minnesota

==Update==
So as of now for the car commercial location, we have lots of evidence pointing to France. I mean I just assumed that it was France cause that road I found seemed very similar to it. But we're still looking for sure.
==Add The Conclusion of the Article==
*Im glad that this article was growing like Wikipedia's, im very proud all of you editors, i think the conclusion of the article was to add the real locations, and we should create a discord server about the actual locations filmed on the K-fee Commercial, and added some note message at the upper center, with a discord link. --[[User:SkyBlueCat|SkyBlueCat]] ([[User talk:SkyBlueCat|talk]]) 15:11, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
