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.
Even just reading this description makes me kind of jumpy. That's how memorable that video was I guess.
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.
This one and the maze game were so prevalent back then
That fucking maze game got me good.
Still salty about that one, Newgrounds set me up good!
My brother was like "you have to wear headphones so you can concentrate", I can still feel the betrayal
Did you ever see the jump scare manga?
idk if this one does it but I'm sure this was the one.
It was definitely that comic, but it was hosted elswhere with a certain script to make the clicking and stuff happen.

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:
My tortie is also annoyed at you:
I'm glad to hear that, hope you have a great day
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
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.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
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.
That was how I avoided so much goatse

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.

As opposed to?
For likes, subs, your personal data, or advertising eyeball time?
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.
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.
"It'd be a weird sort of person who doesn't willfully ignore reality"
Really?
You can remember good things about the past, but it you willfully ignore the most of what the past was, you'll get something unrealistic. Like his notion that the internet was better in 1994.
By 1994, the World Wide Web had only existed for five years, HTML was published in 91 and the browser source code for the first web browser for public use in 1993.
You can like things about the past without saying things like "the Internet was better 30 years ago", because obviously it wasn't.
Some people like the Model T Ford and be history buffs and whatnot, and that's perfectly fine. But who of them would say that a Model T is objectively better than a modern car — even a Tesla with all it's problems? They can like the experience more than driving a regular car, but I'm sure they would never imagine actually traveling with one. It's just a novelty. Nostalgia.
