<td>This video pretends to be a car commercial, showing a small car driving through a rural area. The car moves behind a clump of trees, and the camera pans past it to an open field. Suddenly, the gruesome head of a zombie with red hair comes into view, accompanied by a hoarse scream.<br />
This video is actually an energy drink commercial by German beverage maker <a href="/wiki/K-fee" title="K-fee">K-fee</a>. It ends with the text "So wach warst du noch nie. Kaffee in hohen Dosen" ("You've never been so awake. Coffee in high doses (alternatively: coffee in tall cans; a pun)"), or with "Now go change your shorts and go back to work!" (in German).

<td>This is the first prank flash to be widely spread and thus provide inspiration for other similar creations. It originated on Taiwan's Kimo webhosting service from a person with the online username "Netspooky."<br />
The first <a href="/wiki/Frame_%28film%29" title="Frame (film)">frame</a> shows a cartoon boy sitting on a lawn gazing at the sky. Two lines of <a href="/wiki/Chinese_language" title="Chinese language">Chinese</a> <a href="/wiki/Text" title="Text">text</a> appear. A rough translation is "Hasn't it been a long time... / Haven't looked at the sky closely..." The second frame shows the boy walking down a city street lined with buildings, accompanied by more Chinese text reading "Walking on the street... / You see..."

<td>Unlike many prank flashes, "The Maze" requires input from the user, who is required to navigate a maze, moving a dot around with the mouse without touching the walls. The maze becomes increasingly difficult, requiring more and more concentration from the user. Near the end of the third level, as the user is navigating an extremely tight corner, a picture of <a href="/wiki/Linda_Blair" title="Linda Blair">Linda Blair</a> from <i><a href="/wiki/The_Exorcist_%28film%29" title="The Exorcist (film)">The Exorcist</a></i> pops up, accompanied by a loud scream.</td>

<td>This animation, sometimes known as "Subliminal Music and Images," has been distributed to many websites since 2002.<br />
After loading, an advertisement for gin is shown. After a few seconds, part of the image is highlighted and the word "SEX" is visible. An image for a flooring company appears, with a woman appearing to be touching her shoulder. The image is then flipped, so it appears the woman is <a href="/wiki/Masturbating" title="Masturbating">masturbating</a>. Then a song, Cradle of Filth's "Dinner at Deviant Palace" begins to play backward. The <a href="/wiki/Lord%27s_Prayer" title="Lord's Prayer">Lord's Prayer</a> is heard along with faint noises. In the middle of the prayer, a loud scream is heard, along with a flurry of pictures; The first is a picture of a bloody face from Rotten.com, this is followed by Satan's face from The Exorcist. The next image is another face from Rotten.com, followed by a picture of a <a href="/w/index.php?title=Harlequin_type_icthyosis&action=edit" class="new" title="Harlequin type icthyosis">harlequin baby</a>. The last image is a grayscale image of a mummy without wrappings. It ends with a message, "Never trust flash animations talking about subliminal stuff!"</td>

<td>The "Urban Legends" series is a popular series distributed on the internet, which show mini documentaries providing evidence of the paranormal. Most, but not all, of the movies usually stop for 5 seconds, then an image of a ghost appears suddenly, accompanied by a very loud scream. Urban Legends 3: Ghosts starts off normally, with a warning, and goes on to show ghost photography, ghost videos, and ITC. The first screamer hints to the viewer that ghosts may be haunting their computer monitor. 10 seconds later, a ghost girl pops up very briefly and is usually unseen. The movie continues with ghost EVP, then ends with a picture of an uncleaned room. The author tells the viewer to "LOOK CLOSER!!!!!" and then a loud scream and another ghost girl pops out from the door (this is actually derived from the animated GIF mentioned above - when using a Flash seek bar bookmarklet, the girl doesn't pop up).</td>

<td><a href="http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/whatswrong.php" class="external text" title="http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/whatswrong.php">What's Wrong With This Picture?</a></td>
<td>Perhaps one of the most famous prank flashes is one that appeared around 2000 entitled, "What's Wrong with this Picture". It starts off with directions to find out what exactly is wrong with this picture, hence the title. It is then followed by a link that leads to what looks like a rather innocent picture of a dining room. This is actually a flash file, but because of its early appearance, many viewers had little or no knowledge of flash. After staring at the picture for about thirty seconds, a black and white close-up photo of a woman clenching her face, with her eyes colored black briefly pops up and screams (sometimes the scream is a deep masculine scream). Other versions of this include trying to see a ghost in a photo, and one link opens the picture in another browser and freezes it on the face until you exit out. The original version was featured on <a href="/wiki/America%27s_Funniest_Home_Videos" title="America's Funniest Home Videos">AFV</a> showing videos of people being scared by this.</td>

<td>This <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Jingle+Bells+Reversed" class="external text" title="http://www.google.com/search?q=Jingle+Bells+Reversed">popular</a> screamer plays "<a href="/wiki/Jingle_Bells" title="Jingle Bells">Jingle Bells</a>" first forwards, and then reversed, displaying a <a href="/wiki/Waveform" title="Waveform">waveform</a> representation of the clip. Midway through the reversed playing, a picture of a negative male face pops up with a loud scream.
<p>There is somewhat of an indicator of the oncoming scream; just before the scream, the music is replaced by a gasping sound (while the waveform is still shown), presumably the prank's maker inhaling before the scream. Some versions of this prank feature a blue tint to the face, others orange, and some other colors or changing colors.</p>

<td>In this popular prank, windows saying "you are an idiot" pop up and bounce around the screen; the windows continuously spawn and it's impossible to close them all using the mouse. Ending the browser process in Windows's task manager via ctrl-alt-del effectively quashes the pop-ups. It is also possible to end the popups by holding Alt-F4 until all the windows are closed (in <a href="/wiki/Internet_Explorer" title="Internet Explorer">Internet Explorer</a>), but this risks accidentally closing one or two windows too many. Most major browsers block these popups automatically, thus rendering the prank rather useless, unless the user is running an outdated version of Internet Explorer.</td>

I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" at high volume. The latest versions also include script to cause the user's default <a href="/wiki/E-mail_client" title="E-mail client">e-mail client</a> to open and send the message "JOIN THE GNAA!" to all contacts, with a link to the GNAA website (<a href="http://www.gnaa.us" class="external free" title="http://www.gnaa.us">http://www.gnaa.us</a>). Early versions used <a href="/wiki/JavaScript" title="JavaScript">JavaScript</a>, but the growing use of <a href="/wiki/Popup_blocker" title="Popup blocker">popup blockers</a> prompted the switch to Flash. The site is especially difficult to exit in Internet Explorer, as pressing Ctrl or Alt spawns a warning message, whilst pressing Delete spawns a popup window containing the "Credits". There are only two effective ways of stopping Last Measure. One is to close the process of the <a href="/wiki/Web_browser" title="Web browser">web browser</a> via <a href="/wiki/Task_Manager" title="Task Manager">Task Manager</a>; however, since the browser is now effectively a <a href="/wiki/Forkbomb" title="Forkbomb">forkbomb</a>, it is doubtful the computer will have enough <a href="/wiki/Random_Access_Memory" title="Random Access Memory">RAM</a> to open the Task Manager at this point, and even if the Task Manager is opened, the process is continually moving down the list. The other way is to shut down or restart the computer. Last Measure is known to work on all major web browsers and has also been made into an <a href="/wiki/Operating_System" title="Operating System">Operating System</a>, known as <b>LMOS</b><br />

The prank is set up by entering a friend's phone number, as well as a message, and a link is generated. When the friend clicks on the link, clips from the video (as displayed in the movie) are shown. Soon after, the friend receives a call from phone number "000-000-0000," and is given the message by a computer-generated voice.</td>

In the middle of the seal's speech, an ad for analsex.com pops up, followed by a loud voice reading the text as the background flashes. Then, the "You've Been Sabotaged" screen appears as a window. Clicking the buttons at the right corner of the screen on the "You've Been Sabotaged" window will not do anything. This prank is a take-off of flash pop-up ads.</td>

Zombie Search
editThe article Zombie Search has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 03:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
