In the summer of 2019, an American YouTuber under the name Finder Lurker had created 21 videos of what "modernized" advertisements for the now-defunct K-fee coffee flavored energy drink would look like. These commercials are very similar to the original advertisements the company had originally made. | In the summer of 2019, an American YouTuber under the name Finder Lurker had created 21 videos of what "modernized" advertisements for the now-defunct K-fee coffee flavored energy drink would look like.

Finder Lurker, claimed they were official but this was proven to be false when they showed a, "Making-Of" of all of the commercials. The person who created the, "modernized" advertisement's name is Devin Millar, and he had done the editing, filming, narration, and even is the monster. They are a musician, artist, animator, and YouTuber outside of the commercials. | Finder Lurker, claimed they were official but this was proven to be false when they showed a, "Making-Of" of all of the commercials.

There is English, German, Espresso, Radio, and even poster advertisements of the commercials all created by Finder Lurker, and they are all in similar formulas to the original advertisements. They all start out with a peaceful scene along with peaceful music before getting briefly interrupted by a monster at the end screaming, and possibly scaring the viewer. | There is English, German, Espresso, Radio, and even poster advertisements of the commercials all created by Finder Lurker, and they are all in similar formulas to the original advertisements.

* '''''Concert''''': We start out with an EDM concert in the middle of a desert at sunset, and then as everyone claps, the beat builds up and up and then right before the beat drops, a ghost-like demon jumps up, screams, and shakes their head. | * '''''Concert''''': We start out with an EDM concert in the middle of a desert at sunset, and then as everyone claps, the beat builds up and up and then right before the beat drops, a ghost-like demon jumps up, screams, and shakes their head. | ||

* '''''Dock''''': It starts out with a dock with restaurants and a person walking on it with a fancy coat on at sunset, and then as soon as the person is beginning to leave the scene the monster jumps up screaming. | * '''''Dock''''': It starts out with a dock with restaurants and a person walking on it with a fancy coat on at sunset, and then as soon as the person is beginning to leave the scene the monster jumps up screaming. | ||

There was also, "Light" versions similar to the original ones for the original commercials made by the same company, but this time with Finder Lurker's versions. They even high-pitched the music as well, to match the original atmosphere of the original videos too in the same way. | There was also, "Light" versions similar to the original ones for the original commercials made by the same company, but this time with Finder Lurker's versions.

* '''''Playground''''': It shows the same footage as the original one but instead of the ghost-like creature jumping up, instead it's a monkey puppet jumping up saying, "Ooo ooo monkey!" It then quickly shows the illustration of the bottle with the same teenage boy talking about the product along with the same child whispering like from the original commercials. | * '''''Playground''''': It shows the same footage as the original one but instead of the ghost-like creature jumping up, instead it's a monkey puppet jumping up saying, "Ooo ooo monkey!"

* '''''Bar''''': It's a conversation between a man and a bartender in an East Coast-esque bar and the bartender says, "Ohh! Hi! Why the long face?" Then the man is depressed and says, "She dumped me. I'm gonna lose my kids, and my house." And then the bartender thinks and then says," Hm. I got an idea! Well, it's a little but of a long story, but, I know how you get your life back together. Alright, so all you have to do, is-" And then getting interrupted by the same scream as the screamer commercials, and the same child whispering along with the same teenage boy talking about the product and it's details. | * '''''Bar''''': It's a conversation between a man and a bartender in an East Coast-esque bar and the bartender says, "Ohh!

* '''''Airplane''''': We hear a toddler asking his mom on an airplane, "Mommy mommy! How long until we get to Paris?" Then the mom answers, "We have only 3 hours, our plane took of 5 hours ago." Then the kid laments saying, "Aww, that's gonna take 300 years!" Then the mom reassures him, "No it's won't I can read you a story." Then the agrees and then after a couple seconds the plane starts to go through some turbulence, and then the kid gasps and asks his mom, "What was that mommy?" Then the mommy says, "Oh don't worry sweetie, that's a just a little-" Then her sentence gets interrupted by the scream, along with all of the narrators saying all of the product details and all like the other radio ads and all. | * '''''Airplane''''': We hear a toddler asking his mom on an airplane, "Mommy mommy!

Finder Lurker had also created, "Espresso" advertisements which are very short videos with scaled down screamers usually in the Instagram format, and specifically designed for such. They usually feature some kind of, "Challenge" or meme related thing for a couple seconds, or sometimes even minutes, depending on the theme, before the ghost-like creature jumps up or down from either side of the screen screaming for a short period before jumping back up and then showing the product information. In this case it's advertising their, "Espresso To-Go" drinks from the company's old, and one of their original websites from 2008 that hey previously had really advertised. | Finder Lurker had also created, "Espresso" advertisements which are very short videos with scaled down screamers usually in the Instagram format, and specifically designed for such.
