The commercials consist of peaceful scenes, such as a car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music.

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 Jay reacted to K-fee's ''Car'' commercial. It was hosted on K-fee's official website back from 2004 to 2007 along with the other adverts. The K-fee ''Car'' commercial was also featured in 2005 on ''Tarrant on TV'', a famous British show, as well as on ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]''. | 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 Jay reacted to K-fee's ''Car'' commercial.

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 less frightening image, followed by the text "Jetzt auch mit weniger Koffein." (which translates as "Now also available with less caffeine") and a picture of a Latte Macchiato or Latte Macchiato Vanilla bottle. The Latte Macchiato commercials were only made in German and used the same soundtracks from the originals with a higher pitch. These ads were first aired on television on December 27th, 2005. | ||
* '''Beach ''(Light)''''': A smiling teddy bear (possibly a hand puppet) appears instead of the gargoyle and giggles. The piano music in the background is higher pitched than in the original version.
