What is a computer prank?
Have you ever watched a seemingly innocent video, only to have a very scary face flash onto the screen with a loud scream? You've watched an internet "screamer", and they may trigger an embarrassing moment, possibly involving some damp pants. Here are some ways to help recognize them BEFORE you almost have a heart attack! Look at the website itself. Check which section of a website you're in. If you're in the "prank" section, close the window immediately. If there are comments under the video, look at those. If comments are disabled, close the window! If you see a comment similar to "Woah, that made me jump", close the window! Also if it's impossible to disable comments, you should look for plenty of comments that are deleted by the creator. Examine the video itself. If it has very low music (this makes the audience want to turn the volume up, so the scream is louder and scarier), or if it has very small text (which makes you want to go into full screen), that's a good indication that it's a screamer. Exit out!3Look at the content of the video. If it deals with scary things, like ghosts or supernatural things, this may be a screamer, but you cannot be certain. Be careful!4If it shows a room or picture, and invites you to "Find what's wrong in the picture", or "Find Waldo", close the window immediately!5They have a new trend going on where videos describing people reacting to screamers are actually screamers themselves. If you suspect this, scroll down and see the comments, as listed above. If the maker of the video disabled comments to purposely lead viewers to believe the video is genuine, scroll down just enough to see the video time, so you don't see the video itself. Turn the volume down, just in case it is a screamer, and if the video time runs out and there's no scream, it's safe to watch.6Check the time on the video. If it's suspiciously short cut the video.7Pause the video and forward all the way to the end. If everything is good feel free to watch.

List
KikiaThis is a famous one.It depicts drawings of a guy and displays some weird chinese text.After a while,a image of a ghost from Fatal Frame pops up with a scream.Then the word Kikia appears in yellow text. http:www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gh6n54nmGI

K-Fee adsAnother famous ones.They are a series of TV ads made by the german drink company K-Fee. K-fee television advertisements imitate prank flash animations (also known as screamers) intending to scare the viewer. One such TV ad is known as "K-fee Auto".

Ghost Auto:The commercial begins with a relaxing scene of a white car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. When the car passes behind a large tree, the camera follows. The camera then pans off the tree, but the car is gone. A zombie with a frightening scream then suddenly pops into the scene very briefly, scaring the viewer. The commercial fades to black, showing the slogan: "So wach warst du noch nie." (translated "You have never been as wide awake as this.") and, after some time shows the product with the caption "Kaffee in hohen dosen" (which is a pun, meaning both "coffee in high doses" as well as "coffee in tall cans").

Beach:This depicts two lovers on a beach about to kiss with romantic music playing, and just as they do, the gargoyle jumps up screaming from the bottom of the screen, blocking the view, with blood dripping from his mouth.

Buddha:This depicts a woman meditating near a Buddha statue with soothinng music playing, when the gargoyle jumps up screaming. His face is so close to the camera that it is out of focus.

Golf:A man is shown golfing from far away with no music and only outdoor sounds, when the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams.

Beach 2:This shows a relaxing scene of a boardwalk near a beach with a relaxing music and outdoor sounds, when the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams.

Fishing:This shows a man fishing with music playing, and not long afterwards the zombie appears, surprisingly not looking directly into the camera as he screams.

Yoga:This shows a person practicing yoga on a cliff with relaxing music playing, and as soon as the person lifts his hand, the zombie seemingly appears out of nowhere, screaming. His face is obscured by the dark. This is proudly the scariest of all ads.

Meadow:A view over a field is shown with beautiful music playing, and the camera stops moving at a certain point. Not long after, the zombie shows up from the left side of the screen and screams.

Surfing:This is a far away view of a man going to the ocean to go surfing with beautiful music playing. Then the zombie appears from the right side of the screen and screams. This also seems to use the same footage of the zombie that's used in K-Fee Auto,but with brighter textures.

Scary MazeThis prank is a maze-like game where you have to reach the end of each level without touching the walls.However,in the last level,where you reach the end,the exorcist's face of Linda Blair pops up with a scream.

Jingle Bells ReversedIt shows a clip of the famous christmas song Jingle Bells which plays normally.However,it then plays at reverse and you must find the hidden secret message.At the half of the clip a distorted man's face pops up with a scream.

What's wrong with this Picture?A very famous one.It shows a picture of a dining room and you must find what's wrong with it by staring at it.Suddenly,a ghost face pops up with a scream.
