I stopped using the computer for months because I was scarred of the monitor. Happened to me when I was a kid. Ever since I check the like/dislike ratio on YouTube videos and avoid clicking on every links before making sure it’s not a bait & switch. The 2000’s Internet era was wild.

I could be wrong, but I think it's a German commercial, coffee in a can. "You've never been this awake."

I actually kinda miss the days of internet screamers (what we called jumpscares back then). Back when people just made stuff on the internet for shits and giggles. Granted the ghost car video is part of an ad series, but most screamers were just homemade videos or flash.

Thank you. I totally didn’t remember what this meme was about and was very confused.

After a few seconds of this scenic view of a car driving down the road, a person in a mask or something abruptly appears and screams incredibly loud. I can’t remember if it’s the video or your friends that tell you to look very closely to see if you notice the “thing” to ensure you are properly jump scared.

The car goes out of view for a but and then fails to appear when you’d expect it to which draws your attention just before the face appears. It’s subtle and devious.

In middle school I helped run the media stuff at my summer camp, audio and projector. We thought it would be really funny to show this one night after the talent show. We really cranked up the volume too.
I don’t think we officially got in trouble, but there were a lot of people that got pretty upset with us.

“Turn up the volume and listen to that engine purr”

Massive spoilers, you should just have provided the video to bring full context my friend!

“Screamers” were a popular trend in the 2000s for some reason.

This one and the maze game were so prevalent back then

God I fucking hated them with all of my guts as a child, caused me so much anxiety and fear. And then as an adult I’ve had the pleasure of people on the internet (mainly reddit) telling me they were just innocent pranks that nobody actually harbored any hate for or faced any negative consequences from.

It’s a classic

Read the top comment before watching the video, so I was fully prepared for what was about to happen…didn’t help and now my cat who was sleeping on me is this annoyed at me:
