Heineken has partnered with five-time Emmy award winner Neil Patrick Harris for the second time to help promote the brand's ‘money back guarantee’ offer for its light beer.

The two spots were created by Wieden+Kennedy New York. In ‘Money Back’, Harris tells viewers that Heineken Light is the best tasting light beer before humorously explaining that he personally won’t be giving anyone money back if they don’t agree.

In ‘Fans’, a frustrated Harris is attacked by fans in a supermarket who know him as the guy from the Heineken Light ads to which he responds he is a ‘serious actor’ before accidentally knocking down an entire shelf of the beer.

"What we're saying in the new creative is pretty simple: Heineken Light is a great tasting light beer," says Neil Patrick Harris. "But if you're crazy enough to not agree, Heineken will give you your money back."

Last year, Harris starred in two spots to promote the brand’s light beer that poked fun at the regulations involving drinking beer on television.

The money back guarantee follows Heineken Light being named the ‘Best Tasting Low Calorie Lager’ at the World Beer Championship two years in a row.
