Just as the player is about to do so, an abrupt appearance of the [[K-fee]] zombie (from the particular "Auto" commercial) interrupts the video. It is rumored that, if looked closely, one may see Lotus leaning against the wall before the actual screamer; however, this rumor remains unproven. The video ends with the credits scrolling down from the top. It is possible that the top of the credits said, "trolled lol", but this is false, as lotusman confirmed that the top line was "get fucked idiots" or "get shit on". Originally, the video had three different songs for the gameplay and credits but muted because of copyright issues. | ||

This particular video purportedly centred on the "L is real 2401" urban legend, which began after it was rumoured that a message on a courtyard plaque contained a code to unlock Luigi, an unplayable character in the game. In addition to using a code to unlock the character, the video showcased other steps to do so. It is worth noting that this urban legend has since been largely debunked.<ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/b/bc/LMWDiscord8.png LMW Discord #2]</ref><ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/f/f8/LMWDiscord9.png LMW Discord #3]</ref><ref>[https://screamer.wiki/images/f/f8/LMWDiscord9.png LMW Discord #3]</ref> | ||
