You could say that about most foreign ads. Americans need simple themes and simple gags in their ads for them to be effective. The joke always needs to be explained (if there's a joke at all). Also, the scene with the 2 burgers "making out" would not be acceptable for U.S. audiences, since they are all prudes and there would be an outcry from religious groups. I wish I was joking. Sadly, this is the reality. “Shame they do not show this ad in the United States.”
