Experiments in drink-driving ads
I don’t know if the humour will translate well, but I found this ad against drink-driving produced by Transport New Zealand utterly hilarious.

I always heard NZers saying “drink-driving” but thought it was just the way “drunk driving” was pronounced there. YouTube’s (Beta) transcribe function has a pretty difficult time with Kiwi English too, apparently.
That said, the ad is smushingly brulliunt.Report
Yes the transcriber does struggle a bit. Penalize comfortable Christians indeed.Report
Everything about that ad, from the clothing to the outside walking shot to the wonderfully subtle speech style of the main actor, reminded me somehow of Northern Exposure.
Great ad.Report
Bloody legend!Report
