Due to the content of these advertisements, it's little wonder as to why the company received complaints of heart attacks...


  • Damn near all of them qualify, with the exception of the lite ads:
    • "Auto," colloquially known on the internet as the "Ghost Car" ad or "Scary Car Commercial" was the first screamer to ever grace YouTube with its presence, starting a whole trend of trauma and nightmares for Gen Z kids. It starts out innocently enough, with peaceful footage of a white car driving down a grassy hillside on a sunny day as relaxing flute music plays. Nothing could possibly go wrong, right? Well, the car then passes behind a tree, and the camera pans out farther to give us a lovely view of the countryside, then WHAM! a green, decrepit-looking zombie jumps out of nowhere, letting out a hideous shriek while glaring directly at the viewer!
      • Remember how the focus shifts from the car to the scenery right before the Jump Scare? Well, you may notice that its never shown emerging from behind the tree, so it either stopped behind it, or completely vanished without a trace, making the ad even eerier. This was likely how it earned the nickname "Ghost Car," and was used as an Urban Legend to prank people by telling them that if they looked closely, then they would see a ghost hidden in the background.
    • "Yoga", unlike the other ads which take place in daylight, manages to be one of the scariest installments, since it takes place around dusk. The zombie being obscured in shadows as he jumps out and screams is what ramps up the fear factor.
    • The Zombie is scary enough, but his partner in crime, the Gargoyle looks even more grotesque and monstrous in comparison, with his pale skin, pointy ears, hooked nose, and bloodied fangs. The blur effect used on him even makes him look like he has Black Eyes of Evil.
      • In "Boardwalk" and "Golf," he attacks by dropping upside down instead of popping up.
