Screamers have been around since at least | Screamers have been around since at least [[Monkey On Their Backs|the 1970s]]. Screamers slowly started to make surface on the Internet in the 2000s. The first screamer to be aired on television was an advertisement that aired on German TV for an energy drink called [[K-fee]] (pronounced ''Kay-fee'').

Eight other ads like this were aired on television before being banned because the company was getting complaints by people having heart diseases. After that, the company made new ads for the ''Lite'' version of their product, where the screamer was replaced with either a teddy bear, a man saying ''boo'' softly or a guy with a monster mask laughing. | Eight other ads like this were aired on television before being banned because the company was getting complaints by people having heart diseases.
