In 1998 through 2009, German caffeine company ''K-fee'' released nine 20-second long television commercials as part of their ''Wide Awake'' campaign for their coffee drink. These adverts have been heavily criticized for their content and many feel that the adverts are very uncommercial and upsetting, though its shocking visual is built to simulate the effect that the product has on the viewer. | In 1998 through Febuary of 2009, German caffeine company ''K-fee'' released nine 20-second long television commercials as part of their ''Wide Awake'' campaign for their coffee drink.

The commercials consist of a peaceful scene, 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 slogan and the product. | The commercials consist of a peaceful scene, such as a car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music.

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 signalling 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."</span> | * '''Christmas (0:51)''': <span>The ad starts with the sound of a clock ticking.

In December 2005, 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 December 2005, K-fee released new commercials for their line of Latte macchiato drinks that parodied their own prank flash-style commercials.
