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 a different font/size. 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) that never aired; 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. | 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 a different font/size.

In January 2006, K-fee released new commercials for their line of Latte macchiato drinks that parodied their own prank flash-style commercials.

Using the footage from three of K-fee's most popular commercials (Auto, Beach, and Golf), the company replaced the frightening image of a zombie or gargoyle at the end of the ad with a man in ordinary clothes, a man in a Gorilla mask, or a man in a bear mascot costume appearing slowly and saying "boo" or "bwa-ha-ha", followed by the text "Jetzt auch mit weniger Koffein" (which translates as "Now also with less caffeine") and an image of a Latte Macchiato bottle. | ||
In the Cartoon Network animated series ''The Amazing World of Gumball '', in the episode named "The Internet", Gumball and Darwin appear randomly browsing the net while watching videos. Among these videos, they come across what is implied to be the original K-Fee ad with the car and the zombie. Gumball watches it, commenting on the white car driving through the hills when suddenly a scream (similar to those in the commercials but slightly different) is heard, causing him to have a hilarious, scared reaction which gets recorded on camera. The rest of the episode involves Gumball trying to get rid of the video about his reaction, which has given him unwanted fame. | In the Cartoon Network animated series ''The Amazing World of Gumball '', in the episode named "The Internet", Gumball and Darwin appear randomly browsing the net while watching videos.
