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 These commercials are very similar to the original advertisments the company had originally made.

| | |
| | |
| 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" advertisments's name is Devin Millar, and he had done the editing, filming, narration, artwork, animation, and even is the monster. They are a musician, artist, animator, and YouTuber outside of the commercials.

| =The commercials=
| |
| There is English, German, Espresso, Radio, and even poster advertisments of the commercials all created by Finder Lurker, and they are all in similar formulas to the original advertismnets. They all start out with a peaceful scene along with peaceful music before getting briefly interupted by a monster at the end screaming, and possibly scaring the viewer.
| |
| * '''''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.
| |
| * '''''Apex''''': We start out with a peaceful scene of a house on top of a hill on a beautiful sunny day with clouds, and then at a certain point, the camera stops moving and we focus on just the house, and then from out of nowhere, the ghost-like demon jumps up, screaming shaking it's head.
| |
| * '''''Truck''''': We start out with a truck on a half sunny-half cloudy day and it's carrying a giant cargo in a neighborhood. As soon as the truck leaves the scene the ghost-like creature hangs upside down screaming. This is the same footage as the concert one but lightened up and with a different filter. <br />
| |
| * '''''Playground''''': We see an empty playground in a neighborhood while hearing motorcycles driving in the background. Then we see all of the swings, the skatepark, and a kiddie ride, and then it shows the playground in full view again, and then after a couple seconds of showing it, the ghost-like creature jumps up screaming.
| |
| * '''''River''''': This advertisment starts out with a river on a giant rock overlooking the place at at sunset with peaceful piano music with cars passing by the cliff<br />
| |
| * '''''Bike''''': The ad starts out with a peaceful scene with a bike next to a tree on a sunny day, and then eventually the camera pans across to show the entire scene and then it stops at a certain point similar to the meadow commercial, and then suddenly the ghost-like creature jumps up from upside down and screams<br />
| |
| * '''''Farm''''': It starts out with an aerial view of a farm with some cows in it, and then after a couple seconds when the country music that's playing comes to it's conclusion, the ghost-like monster jumps up screaming, with it's face obscured by the darkness of the sunset. This is the same footage as the Playground one but with a darker filter.<br />
| |
| * '''''Neon''''': It starts out with a very lit view of Fremont street in Las Vegas, and then after a while of showing everyone walking around and all, the monster with it's hair tied up in a bun and with burnt eyes jumps down screaming.<br />
| |
| * '''''Clock Tower''''': It starts out with Clock Tower with fish all over it as the camera pans up to show it ringing it's bells. Then after a couple hits showing what time it is, the monster, now with mangled skin and eyes jumps down and scares the viewer.
| |
| * '''''Mountain''''': It starts out with view of the top of a mountain with other mountains surrounding it with very campy music playing, and then after a while the monster jumps down and scares the viewer.
| |
| * '''''Dock''''': It starts out with a dock with resturaunts 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.

| =Light commercials=
| |
| There was also, "Light" versions simialr to the oringal ones for the orignal commercialsmade 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.
| |
| | |
| | |
| * '''''Neon''''': It features the same Las Vegas Fremont scene from the original commercial of the same name but instead of the gh-stlike creature jumping up, instead it's a polar bear puppet jumping up and giggling, with it being very obvious it's about to jump at the bottom of the screen before it does. It then quickly shows an illistration of the bottle with the same teenage boy talking about the product along with the same child whipsering like from the original commercials.
| |
| * '''''Concert''''': It features the same concert footage but instead of the monster jumping up, it's a buddah statue climsuly going up and the music stops. It then quickly shows the illistration of the bottle with the same teenage boy talking about the product along with the same child whipsering like from the original commercials.
| |
| * '''''River''''': It shows the same river scene with the cars passing by the cliff, and the camera on a rock shore, but instead of the ghost-liek creature poping up, a white teddy bear pops up and giggles while going, "Boo!" It then quickly shows the illistration of the bottle with the same teenage boy talking about the product along with the same child whipsering 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!"

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 litlte but of a long story, nbut, I know how you get your life back together. Alright, so all you have to do, is-" And then getting interuppted 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 detials.

Then the kid lamets 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 trubulence, 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 interruppted by the scream, along with all of the narrators saying all of the product details and all like the other radio ads and all.

| Finder Lurker also had created, "Magazine" advertisments that had artwork of disturbing imagiry of cartoon little kids killing their parents and vice versa and of obscure art.

| ="Espresso" Advertisments=
| |
| Finder Lurker had also created, "Espresso" advertisments 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 realted thing for a couple seconds, or sometimes even minutes, dependingno 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.
