Creating a funny advert is not easy. You've got to get the audience laughing as well as willing to buy the product in just a minute or so - no mean feat.

But New Zealand beer brand DB Export Dry have managed it with this clever 'Say no to wine' advert.

Set in the '80s, it riffs off the often-thought-but-ne'er-so-well-expressed feeling many men have: that sensation of being forced to drink wine in certain social situations because it's the done thing.

DB Export Dry offers itself up as the acceptable alternative to sipping a beaujolais at the work barbecue - a beer with style, grace and a good sense of humour... and thanks to a great script, it does so brilliantly.

Just wait for the jump to the present day at the end: you may end up quoting it down the pub this very evening.

But the main advert we've got for you above isn't the only commercial they've released as part of the campaign - check out the following mini-ads on the topics of 'The Swirl', 'The Sniff' and 'The Stall'. If you liked the ad above, you won't be disappointed.

So, this is considered to be funny in NZ? I think I will stick with good old British humour, thanks.

I too, am a practitioner of the famous 'Dr Johnny Young diet" which it seems the consciousness of these New Zealanders are advocating participating in ... if you're feeling laggard and off your sorts it can be traced back to an imbalance of one of two things... not enough red meat, or, not enough beer. You see, wine doesn't even figure into this diet. And if you must smoke, then it's the weed...as any laughing partier will tell ya' mate. So go forth and be a bit over the top...you've earned, mate. Go for the Juggler!
