The Five Funniest Commercials in New Zealand
Ranked #3,549 in Entertainment, #44,006 overall
See New Zealand's 5 Funniest Commercials Right Here
New Zealand TV has the funniest commercials I have ever seen. They sure make me laugh. I am not even sure all of them were designed to be amusing, but more often than not, I find myself laughing during a television or movie break. When we first arrived in New Zealand, if we put on the television it was to wait for the break so we could laugh at some of the funniest commercials ever. The programs are predominantly the same shows which aired in the states, but the NZ TV adverts are hilarious. We would watch a series of commercials, then when the program returned, we would switch the channel until we found new funny TV commercials.
So, choosing my top 5 favorites was no easy task, but I think I have succeeded. I had so much fun making this page. I hope you enjoy it too.

#1 Togs vs Undies
I think this is the funniest commercial ever!
If you were to ask me what I consider to be the all time funniest TV commercial, this would be it. A bit of New Zealand vocabulary before you watch:
Togs = swimwear, swimming costume, bathing suit
Undies = Underpants

#2 Funniest Commercial: Pineapple Lumps
New Zealand makes fun of itself
Not only does this commercial make me laugh, it actually convinced me to try Pineapple Lumps. They have become such a common grocery item I forget that they are purely New Zealand. Last time we traveled overseas, and customs asked me if I had any food, I said, "Just a sealed bag of Pineapple Lumps." Well I get sent to the agriculture line, where I waited forever, and then was laughed at, as they don't even contain any pineapple.

#2 (tied) Funniest Commercial: Stubbies
I remember when I first came to New Zealand, I was shocked that some men wore stubbies - all year long. In winter you will see men wearing big oversized wool sweaters, work boots with black socks and stubbies. It's hard not to laugh, but this commercial makes laughing more acceptable.

#4 Tui Beer - Brewed by Gorgeous Women
I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I think this womanizing commercial is funny, but I do. Hope you do too.

#5 Just a Very Funny Commercial
Typical New Zealand commercial, as it has nothing to do with the product. In this case it is so stupid that you can't help laughing at these guys. Have a look and let me know what you think.

You Will Need A Camera If You Want To Make Your Own Commercials
The Sony DCR-SR45 is the current version of the video camera we use. We have been thrilled with the video results. Paraphrased from the Manufacturer's product descriptions: The DCR-SR45 allows you to store video and still images on either its built-in 30 GB hard disk drive or removable Memory Stick Pro Duo media. A large 2.7-inch wide (16:9) touch panel LCD display gives you fingertip control to compose shots exactly how you want them. In addition, the high-power 40x optical/2000x digital zoom lets you get close to all the action. Meanwhile, the professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens and Super SteadyShot image stabilization system captures everything as clearly as if you were still there.

- I live in New Zealand, and watching these Ads late on a Tuesday night made me think how sad and tragic most of them are, and how sad and tragic (and possibly young) their Creators must be.
Sorry, I'm one of those people who tends to mute commercials.

- I absolutely loved these commercials! They are all so quintessentially New Zealand! The L&P one reminded me of what grown up men dressed like when I was a kid. Tragic!

- Very funny. I'm an ex-New Zealander (haven't lived there since 1985) but really appreciated seeing my birth- culture again in these. Nothing much has changed but I especially liked the snippets of language:
"budgie smugglers" for undies; "sweet as ..." in the Pineapple lumps ad.
