An anti-drug driving ad featuring three Maori children arguing over which of their dads drives best while "blazed" has become an online hit.
Oscar-nominated director Taika Waititi is behind the ad, titled Blazed - Drug-Driving in Aotearoa.
It has been viewed more than 500,000 times on YouTube since being put up on September 13.
The station's blurb says the situation the three children find themselves in is one "familiar to most kids growing up in New Zealand".
"Sitting outside in the car, waiting for one of their dads to come out and drive one of them home. The only thing is, the dad has been blazing, and the kids know it. We watch them change from comical to contemplative, as they examine their own awareness of their dads' behaviour in the raucous, imaginative way only young boys can."
