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

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. | ||
