I find that American style ad's have an underlining fakeness to them, its hard to put my finger on it. I'm assuming its just a cultural difference being from New Zealand but some ad's from the States just grate me the wrong way. These Apple ad's are particularly bad in this respect.

It's because they're actors with pearl-perfect teeth, perfectly styled hair, perfect professional makeup and they are in a Hollywood perfect world where everything is spotless and organized 'just so'.

It kind of makes things feel like a dream.

The reality of life in the US is a hilarious smack in the face compared to the Hollywood advertised US we see on TV/Movies

As an American I don't find this feeling foreign at all. I would be interested to find out whether this was more of a personality or a nationality thing (and whether it couldn't be controlled by using different accents with the same script, etc.)

That's how I feel when I see ads from other countries other than the US. These ads reminds me a little bit of them.
