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.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 71 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] KanariePieter@feddit.nl 34 points 6 months ago

Even just reading this description makes me kind of jumpy. That's how memorable that video was I guess.

[-] FiniteLooper@lemm.ee 24 points 6 months ago

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"

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

[-] kernelle@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago

This one and the maze game were so prevalent back then

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 7 points 6 months ago

That fucking maze game got me good.

Still salty about that one, Newgrounds set me up good!

[-] kernelle@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

My brother was like "you have to wear headphones so you can concentrate", I can still feel the betrayal

[-] Kyatto@leminal.space 7 points 6 months ago

Did you ever see the jump scare manga?

idk if this one does it but I'm sure this was the one.

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

It was definitely that comic, but it was hosted elswhere with a certain script to make the clicking and stuff happen.

[-] Kyatto@leminal.space 1 points 6 months ago

that's what I thought

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.

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:

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 months ago

My tortie is also annoyed at you:

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 5 points 6 months ago

I'm glad to hear that, hope you have a great day

[-] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago

I'm so traumatized by that video that now, 17 or so years later, I had to carefully scroll your comment in case the picture you posted was the screaming face

[-] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago

I haven't seen it in years, and it was honestly great. Got a good jolt of adrenaline and then laughed my head off.

I may not be quite right in the head.

[-] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks 5 points 6 months ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

It's a classic

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

[-] Frozzie@lemmy.world 40 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

That was how I avoided so much goatse

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 29 points 6 months ago
[-] RHOPKINS13@kbin.social 17 points 6 months ago

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

[-] nl4real@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Back when people just made stuff on the internet for shits and giggles.

As opposed to?

[-] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

For likes, subs, your personal data, or advertising eyeball time?

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

It was a time with a lot of "you're the 10th million visitor to this website, you're a winner" and "this is how to get a bigger dick" popups, and no adblockers.

People always pine for the "good old days" without realising they're just remembering (or imagining) things with a huge bias.

[-] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Yeah if you were a n3wb bitxh and not a 1337 h4x0r like me.

The internet was better 25-30 years ago. No rose glasses needed. It was the wild west, and now we're just hopping from walled garden to walled garden.

Unsurprisingly people don't desire to revisit the bad aspects of the past... It would be a bit odd if someone was like:

"wasn't it great back when the internet took 92 times longer to load, and there was no youtube?"

I mean, what kind of person are you imagening?

"I miss having Gonerea"...

...that'd be a weird kind of person no?

It doesn't mean they've forgotten those things.
