is primarily used by people old enough to remember the original advertising campaign, but it is still widely used throughout both countries, especially in political debate. The commercial also generated another catch-phrase which became common in New Zealand and Australia. Before turning to camera at the start of the ad, our Claytons-drinking hero (played by Jack Thompson) tells the punch-line of a joke to the barman: "... And then this guy says 'Now we can all get some sleep!'" After completing a particularly irksome task – perhaps changing a tyre in the rain, or dropping 12 children off to their respective houses after a noisy birthday party – one can say "Now we can all get some sleep" to put a humorous full stop on the event. In the original advertisement, set in a bar, this "punchline" was greeted with uproarious laughter, followed by this dialogue: Barman: "What'll you have?" Jack: "Claytons, thanks, Brian." Bloke in Bar: "On the wagon, Jack?" Jack: "No. When I don't feel like alcohol, I have Claytons." Voice-over: "Claytons. The drink you have when you're not having a drink." Claytons is also the name given to the South Island Intervarsity Novice Debating Championships hosted by Canterbury University and Otago University Debating Society. It is referred to as Claytons because it is the "debating tournament you go to when you're not debating."
