It's not based on a ridculous premise. The ad is meant to make fun of
$11.50 hamburgers at snooty restaurants. Miller High Life is cheap beer,
trying to position itself as wroking man's brew. Wealthier customers --
those who pay $11.50 for a burger -- aren't going to buy Miller; they
either drink wine or higher quality beer. So the ad targets the average
joe (truck driver!) by making fun of the yuppies, whom the driver thinks
don't deserve to drink Miller High Life (they're too pretentious).

It's really pretty simple.
