A Bosnian commercial for a Slovenian beer. Click to watch.

If you click on the image above, you will see a Bosnian commercial for the popular Slovenian beer Lasko. In it, a clumsy Slovene (wearing a ski outfit, of all things) enters a Bosnian disco, where he tries to flirt with a girl but instead falls down and accidentally hurts people. The voiceover tells us:

Slovenes may not be the best seducers, but there are things they do excellently… like Lasko beer. There they are real masters.

The slogan, as seen above, is: “Something Slovenes do best.”

It’s an interesting example of how the people of ex-Yugoslavia caricature each other, although this is the first time I’ve seen Slovenes joked about as clumsy. (The more common joke is that they are stingy or workaholics.)
