Ok, you could say that this advert really "speaks" to him in the sense that he finds it more powerful, significant. Or you could use another sense e.g. "I am really feeling/feelin' that commercial".
A bit of contemporary 'slanguage' may be useful, or may be not...
Good luck.

very hard
without intimate knowledge of the situation.
Strikes a chord more?
Closer to people's actual situations?
More readily understandable?
More direct?
And a whole lot more.

hits home / hits the mark (better)
Another idea for the melting pot; to get the comparative in, you'll need to get the 'better' in their somewhere, while being careful not to weaken the whole expression...

a more meaningful version
More meaningful, punchier, higher-impact, and so on.
Hard to tell from your context whether this is actually about a "talkier" version or whether it's a version with greater impact.

: I like "punchier"! Unless, of course this is for an advert against domestic violence... Not to be grim, but so much depend on context - especially in advertising!

a more telling version
Hello,
This commercial is more telling; it is more persuasively powerful than the other.
I hope this helps.
