Because of their reputation as clever trolling tools and pranks, screamers have been featured quite reccently in works of fiction. In the Cartoon Network animated series ''The Amazing World of Gumball '', in the episode named "The Internet", Gumball and Darwin appear randomly browsing the net while watching videos. 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. | |||
