Screamers have been around since | Screamers have been around since as far as the early [[Monkey On Their Backs|1970s]], and 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 television 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.
